Hivru 11
1 Hagi amentintima hu'zana, onke'nona zamofo tamage huno fore hugahie huta amuhama nehuna zane.
Faith is the realisation of things hoped for — the proof of things not seen.
2 Korapa vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'nazagu, Anumzamo'a fatgo vahere huno huzmantene.
And it was for faith that the men of old were renowned.
3 Tamentinti nehunku, Anumzamo'a ke'areti ama mopane, monanena trohune huta antahi amara nehune. Ana hu'negu menima tavuma negona zana, Anumzamo'a nonkona zanteti tro hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 4:3-10.) (aiōn g165)
Faith enables us to perceive that the universe was created at the bidding of God — so that we know that what we see was not made out of visible things. (aiōn g165)
4 Ebeli'a amentinti Anumzamofonte nehuno kre sramana vunte'neazamo, Keni'ma kre sramana vunte'neazana agaterene. Ebeli'a amentinti higeno Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno huso'e huntene. Ebeli'a ko fri'neanagi amentinti hu'neazamo tagrira meninena hunerasamie. (Jen-Agf 5:21-24.)
Faith made the sacrifice which Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain’s, and won him renown as a righteous man, God himself establishing his renown by accepting his gifts; and it is by the example of his faith that Abel, though dead, still speaks.
5 Enoku'a amentinti higu Anumzamo'a avregeno ofrineno, monafinka marerige'za onke'naze. Na'ankure ofrino mani'nerera Anumzamofo avurera fatgo huno mani'negeno, Anumzamo muse hunteno avare'ne.
Faith led to Enoch’s removal from earth, that he might not experience death. ‘He could not be found because God had removed him.’ For, before his removal, he was renowned as having pleased God;
6 Amentintima omane'nesigeno'a, Anumzamofo avesizama avaririzamo'a amuho huntegahie. Na'ankure iza'o Anumzamofontema esimo'a, agra amentintima haniana, Anumzana mani'neankino, Agriku'ma hakaza vahera mizana nezamie huno antahino. (Jen-Agf 6:13-22.)
but without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who seek for him.
7 Anumzamo'a Noana asamigeno amentinti ana kegura nehuno, amageanteno tima hagesifima naga'a zamagu vazisigura ventea tro hu'ne. Fore'ma osu'nea knaza fore hugahie huno Anumzamo'a asamine. Noama amentinti hu'neazamo, ama mopafi vahe'mofo kefo avu'avazazmia eriama nehigeno, Anumzamo'a fatgo nere huno huntene. (Jen-Agf 12:1-8.)
It was faith that enabled Noah, after he had received the divine warning about what could not then be foreseen, to build, in reverent obedience, an ark in which to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world, and became possessed of that righteousness which follows upon faith.
8 Abrahamu'ma henkama erisinti haresia kumate vinogu Anumzamo'ma huntegeno'a, inankna kumate vinogu huntene ontahi'neanagi, amentinti nehuno ke amageanteno vu'ne.
It was faith that enabled Abraham to obey the Call that he received, and to set out for the place which he was afterwards to obtain as his own; and he set out not knowing where he was going.
9 Hagi Abrahamu'a Anumzamo'ma hunte'nea moparera amentinti nehuno zoka vahekna huno, seli no ome kino umanine. Ana higeno Asaki'ene Jekopukea anahukna huke Anumzamo'a huvempama hunte'nea zana erisintiharegaha'e hunte'nea netrene magoka ana seli nompina umani'naze.
It was faith that made him go to live as an emigrant in the Promised Land — as in a strange country — living there in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who shared the promise with him.
10 Hakare zupa Abrahamu'a amentinti nehuno, henkama hanave ranku'ma Anumzamo retro hunteteno, Agra'a ki'nea ranku'ma erisigu aveganteno manine.
For he was looking for the City with the sure foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 Sera'enena tavavategeno avufgamo'a haviza hu'neanagi, amentinti nehuno Anumzamo'ma huvempa hu'nea kemo'a nena'a fore hugahie higu, mofavre kasentene. (Jen-Agf 17:19, 18:11-14, 21:2)
Again, it was faith that enabled Sarah to conceive (though she was past the age for child-bearing), because she felt sure that he who had given her the promise would not fail her.
12 Hagi magoke ne' Abrahamu'a ozafarenea nepinti, maka fore hu'naza vahe'mo'za, monafi hanafi kna nehu'za, hagerinkenafi kahepankna hu'za ohampriga'a vahe mani'naze.
And so from one man — and that when his powers were dead — there sprang a people as numerous ‘as the stars in the heavens or the countless grains of sand upon the shore.’
13 Ama ana miko vahe'ma fri'nazana, huvempama huzmante'neazana e'orine'za fri'nazanagi, zamagra zmentinti nehu'za, afete'ma ne-eazama kenaza zankura muse nehu'za, ruregati zoka vahekna hu'za emani'naze.
All these died sustained by faith. They did not obtain the promised blessings, but they saw them from a distance and welcomed the sight, and they acknowledged themselves to be only aliens and strangers on the earth.
14 E'ina hukna kema nehaza vahe'mo'za, zamagrama umani so'ema hanaza kumaku nehakaze.
Those who speak thus show plainly that they are seeking their fatherland.
15 Zamagrama e'naza kumategama vunakuma antahintahima hazasina, ete e'naza kumatega vazasine.
If they had been thinking of the land that they had left, they could have found opportunities to return.
16 Hianagi knarema hu'nea kumaku nehakazana mona kumare. E'ina hu'negu Anumzamo'a tamagri Anumza mani'noe huzankura, Agra agazea osugahie. Na'ankure Agra mago ranku'ma retro huzmantene.
But no, they were longing for a better, a heavenly, land! And therefore God was not ashamed to be called their God; indeed he had already prepared them a city.
17 Anumzamo'a Abrahamuna amentinti reheno kenaku, Aisakina ahenka kre sramana vunanto hu'ne. Huvempa kema huntenemo Abrahamu'a amentinti nehuno, magoke mofavrea Aisakina ahe fri'za hu'ne.
It was faith that enabled Abraham, when put to the test, to offer Isaac as a sacrifice — he who had received the promises offering up his only son,
18 Anumzamo'a Abrahamunku hu'neana, Aisakipinti fore hanaza vaheku, Abrahamu ageheze huno hugahaze huntene. (Jen-Agf 1:12)
of whom it had been said — ‘It is through Isaac that there shall be descendants to bear thy name.’
19 Abrahamuma agesama antahi'neana, Aisakima ahe frisugeno'a Anumzamo asimura ete amigahie huno agesa antahine. Hagi ana hu'negu nemofoma avreneazamo frizampinti avrenea avame'za huraveri hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 22:1-18.)
For he argued that God was able even to raise a man from the dead — and indeed, figuratively speaking, Abraham did receive Isaac back from the dead.
20 Aisaki'a amentinti hu'negu, Jekopu'ene Isokea henka'a erisa'a asomu kea huvempa huznantene. (Jen-Agf 27:27-29, 39-40)
It was faith that enabled Isaac to bless Jacob and Esau, even with regard to the future.
21 Jekopu'a amentinti hu'negu, fri'zama nehuno'a Josefena tare mofavreararena asomura hu'nezanenteno kepri huno azompare otineno, monora Anumzamofona huntene. (Jen-Agf 48)
Faith enabled Jacob, when dying, to give his blessing to each of the sons of Joseph, and ‘to bow himself in worship as he leant upon the top of his staff.’
22 Josefe'a amentinti hu'negu, frinaku'ma nehuno'a, hanavetino Israeli vahekura, Isipima atreta vanutma zaferinani'a ramina erineta viho huno huzmantene. (Jen-Agf 50:24-25.)
Faith caused Joseph, when his end was near, to speak of the future migration of the Israelites, and to give instructions with regard to his bones.
23 Hagi Mosese nererake nefakea zanamentinti hu'naku, Mosesema kasentegeno'a 3'a ikamofo agu'afina azeri frakintakeno znagranena mani'ne. Na'ankure zanagra ka'ana ana mofavremo'a hentofa mofavre maninegeke, kini nemofo kasegema rutagre zankura korera osu'na'e. (Eks-Ati 1:22, 2:1-15)
Faith caused the parents of Moses to hide the child for three months after his birth, for they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they would not respect the King’s order.
24 Mosese'a amentinti hu'negu, zomareno rama nehuno'a Fero mofamofo mofavre hu'za agrikuma huzankura avesra hu'ne.
It was faith that caused Moses, when he was grown up, to refuse the title of ‘Son of a Daughter of Pharaoh.’
25 Anumzamofo vahe'ma zamazeri havizama hazaza hu'za azeri haviza huzanku agesa nentahino, atupa knafi kumimofo kefo avu'avazampi muse huzankura avesra hu'ne.
He preferred sharing the hardships of God’s People to enjoying the short-lived pleasures of sin.
26 Agra Isipi kumamofo feno erizankura nontahino, Kraisintekuma natama erisuana knare hugahie huno agesa antahine. Na'ankure Anumzamo'ma henkama ra mizama amizanku anara hu'ne.
For he counted ‘the reproaches that are heaped upon the Christ’ of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, looking forward, as he did, to the reward awaiting him.
27 Mosese'a amentinti hu'negu kini ne'mo'ma arimpa ahentezankura koro osu Isipi mopa atreno vu'ne. Na'ankure agra onkenemofonte avuraga kenteno kazigazi huno vu'ne.
Faith caused him to leave Egypt, though undaunted by the King’s anger, for he was strengthened in his endurance by the vision of the invisible God.
28 Mosese'a amentinti hu'negu, Israeli vahera zamasimge'za sipisipi ahe'za korana nonkafa zamirera frenazageno, Anumzamofo ankeromo'a ozamahe zmagaterene. (Eks-Ati 12:21-30.)
Faith led him to institute the Passover and the Sprinkling of the Blood, so that the Destroyer might not touch the eldest children of the Israelites.
29 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Anumzamofonte zmentinti hu'nazagu, hagege moparema hiaza hu'za hagerina takahe'naze. Hianagi Isipi vahe'mo'za anama hazaza hu'za takahenaku hu'nazanagi, ti nakri'naze. (Eks-Ati 14:21-31.)
Faith enabled the people to cross the Red Sea, as if it had been dry land, while the Egyptians, when they attempted to do so, were drowned.
30 Israeli vahe'mo'za Anumzamofonte zametinti hu'nazagu, 7ni'a knafina Jeriko kumara kagizageno, vihu keginamo'a fragu vaziramine. (Jos 6:12-21.)
Faith caused the walls of Jericho to fall after being encircled for seven days.
31 Rehapu monko a'mo'agi Anumzamofonte amentinti nehuno, tare afure vahetrena znaza huno zanazeri frakinegu, kuma ane vahe'amo'za keontahiza vahe'ma zamahe frifina agrira ahe ofri'ne. (Jos 2:1-21, 6:22-25.)
Faith saved Rahab, the prostitute, from perishing with the unbelievers, after she had entertained the spies with friendliness.
32 Hagi na'ane hu'na mago'anena hugahue? Gidionima, Barakima, Samsonima, Jeptama, Devitima, Samueliki, kasanampa vahe'mokizmi zamagenkema tamasamisua knani'a nagrira omne'nene.
Need I add anything more? Time would fail me if I attempted to relate the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, and those of David, Samuel, and the Prophets.
33 E'i ana zamentintima haza vahe'mo'za ru kumate vahe'ma ha'ma huzmantazana zmagatenere'za, fatgo zamavuzmava hazagu huvempama hu'nea zana enerizageno, laionimofo zmagira ruhamunki'naze.
By their faith they subdued kingdoms, ruled righteously, gained the fulfilment of God’s promises, ‘shut the mouths of lions,’
34 Zamagra tusi'a tevema nereantevea resu nehazageno, kazintetira zamahe friga osu'naze. Zamagrira hanavezmi omaneneanagi hanave vahe nese'za, hapina hanavetiza ha' vahe zamia zamarotago hu'naze.
quelled the fury of the flames, escaped the edge of the sword, found strength in the hour of weakness, displayed their prowess in war, and routed hostile armies.
35 A'nemo'za zamavesi nentaza vahe'ma fri'nea vahera azeri otige'za nezmavrazageno, mago'amokizmia kanona zamizanagi, Anumzamofona otre kazigazi hu'za amage'anteza nevu'za, zamagra fripinti oti'za knare zmasimuma erisaza zanku antahintahi hu'naze.
Women received back their dead raised to life. Some were tortured on the wheel, and refused release in order that they might rise to a better life.
36 Mago'amokizmia kiza zokago ke hu'nezamante'za sefu kanonkeve zamiza zamavufaga zamahe tragatrogo nehu'za, mago'amokizmi'a seni nofiteti kina rezmante'za zamavare'za kina hu'nezmantaze.
Others had to face taunts and blows, and even chains and imprisonment.
37 Mago'amokizmia have knonu zamahe nefrizageno, mago'a mokizmia sonteti refragi tare nehazageno, mago'amokizmi kaziknonu zamahe fri'naze. Hanki mago'amo'za sipisipine meme akrute kukena nehu'za, zamagara netegeno, zamazeri haviza hu'naze.
They were stoned to death, they were tortured, they were swan asunder, they were put to the sword; they wandered about clothed in the skins of sheep or goats, destitute, persecuted, ill-used —
38 Ama mopafi vahe'mo'za knarera huozamantege'za, ka'ma kokampine, agonafine, havegampima, kerigampina masetere hu'za vano hu'naze.
men of whom the world was not worthy — roaming in lonely places, and on the mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.
39 E'i ana maka vahe'mo'za zmentinti hazagu, Anumzamo'a hugnare huzmantene. Hu'neanagi Anumzamo'ma huvempa huzamante'nea zana e'orine'za fri'naze.
Yet, though they all won renown by their faith, they did not obtain the final fulfilment of God’s promise;
40 Ama anazantamina Anumzamo'a knarezantami retro hurantegeno me'neankino, zamagrama koma erizankura Anumzamo'a avenosianki, tagranema magoka omerisunegu retro hurantene.
since God had in view some better thing for us, that they, apart from us, should not attain perfection.
