Abhaebrania 11
1 Woli elikilisha nikubha nechimali chinu anacho omunu omwanya gunu katendesha echinu chilebhe kwo kwisigilila. Nichimali che bhinu bhinu bhichali kubhonekana.
Now faith is [the] substance of things hoped for, [the] proof of matters not being seen,
2 Kwa insonga inu bhajaji bheswe bhabhonekene ku lwelikilisha lyebhwe.
for by this, the elders were well-attested.
3 Kwe likilisha echimenya ati echalo chamogelwe kwe chigambo cha Nyamuanga, koleleki chinu echibhonekana chitakolelwe ne chinu chinu chaliga nchibhonekana. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen having not come out of things appearing. (aiōn g165)
4 Jabhee kwa insonga ye likisha ati Habili amusosisishe Nyamuanga ebhiyanwa bhinu bhyaliga bhiile okukila Kaini. Yabhee kwa insonga inu ati akuyibhwe kubha mulengelesi. Nyamuanga amukuyishe kulwainsonga ya bhinu asosishe. Kwa insonga eyo, Habili achali naloma, nolo kutyo afuye.
By faith Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, yet speaks.
5 Jabhee kwe likilisha ati Enoko agegelwe ingulu na atabhonekene na lufu. “Atabhonekene, kwa insonga Nyamuanga amugegele” kwa insonga jaikilwe ingulu yae ati amukondelesishe Nyamuanga achali kugegwa okuja ingulu.
By faith Enoch was translated—not to see death, and was not found, because God translated him; for before his translation he had been testified to—that he had pleased God well,
6 Jakabhee kutalio kwikilisha itakutulikana kumukondelesha Nyamuanga, kulwokubha unu kaja ku Nyamuanga nibhusibhusi ekilishe ati Nyamuanga alamile nati kabhayana ebhiyanwa bhanu abhamuyenja.
and apart from faith it is impossible to please [Him], for it is required of him who is coming to God to believe that He exists and [that] He becomes a rewarder to those seeking Him.
7 Yabhee kwe likilisha ati Nuhu, abhee aganyibhwe na Nyamuanga okulubhana na magambo ganu galiga gachali kubhonekana, kwe chibhalo che Nyamuanga akolele isafina koleleki akishe olwibhulo lwae. Kwo kukola kutyo, alamuye echalo nabha muli wo mwandu gwo bhulengelesi bhunu obhuja ingulu yo kwikilisha.
By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, prepared an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he condemned the world, and he became heir of the righteousness according to faith.
8 Kulwa likilisha, Ibraimu ejile abhilikilwa, nekilisha nagenda muchalo chinu chaliga chili mwandu gwaye. Afulukile obhutamenya eyo ajaga.
By faith Abraham, being called, obeyed, to go forth into the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing to where he goes.
9 Kulwa likilisha nekala muchalo cho omulago ali mugenyiNekala mumauna Ali na Isaka na Yakobo, abhali bho omwandu guliya.
By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise as a strange country, having dwelt in dwelling places with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
10 Kulwokubha aliga neikanya okubhona omusi gunu omumbaki wagwo ni Nyamuanga ala enyele.
for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose craftsman and constructor [is] God.
11 Jaliga jili kwe elikilisha, Ibraimu, na Sara omwene, bhalamiye amanaga ago kugega inda nolwo kutyo bhaliga bhakokoye muno, kulwokubha bhabhwene ati Nyamuanga niwe echimali, okubha aliga abhalagile omwana we echilume.
And by faith Sarah, herself barren, received power to conceive seed even after the time of life, seeing she judged Him who promised faithful;
12 Kulwejo, okusokelela ku munu umwi oyo aliga alebheleye okufwa nibhebhulwa abhana about bhatakubhalwa. Bhaliga bhali bhafu lwa jinjota ja mulwile na bhafu Leo omusenyi gwa kumwalo.
for this reason, also, from one—and that of one who had become dead—were begotten as the stars of the sky in multitude, and innumerable as the sand that [is] by the seashore.
13 Bhanu bhone bhafuye bhali mulikilisha bhatolele omulago. Nawe bhagubhwene guli kula, bhaliga bhamenyele ati ni bhatusi na bhagenyi muchalo echo.
All these died in faith, having not received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having been persuaded, and having greeted [them], and having confessed that they are strangers and sojourners on the earth,
14 Kubhanu abheganilisha kutiyo abhatula abhwelu ati abhalonda echalo chebhwe.
for those saying such things make apparent that they seek a country;
15 Bhachisanga bhacheganilisha echalo chinu bhasokele, bhakabhwene omwanya gwo okusubhayo.
and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
16 Nawe kutyo jili abhenda echalo cha kisi kuti cha mulwile. Kulwejo Nyamuanga atakwiswala okubhilikilwa Nyamuanga webhwe, kulwokubha abhelabhiye omusi gwebhe.
but now they long for better, that is, heavenly, for this reason God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He prepared a city for them.
17 Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Ibraimu ejile asakwa nasosya Isaka. Mbe chimali unu alamile omulago akondelewe, asosisye omwana waye nyagumwi,
By faith Abraham has offered up Isaac, being tried, even the [one] having received the promises offered up his only begotten,
18 Unu alomelewe ingulu yaye, “Olwibhulo lwao olutogwa okusoka kwa Isaka.”
of whom it was said, “In Isaac will your Seed be called,”
19 Ibraimu aliga name ya ati Nyamuanga alimwelula Isaka okusoka mubhafu, na kwa inyaika ye eminapi namulamila.
reckoning that God is even able to raise up out of the dead, from where also in a figurative sense he received [him].
20 Kwa likilisha Isaka ayanile libando Yakobo na Esau ingulu ya amagambo ganu galija.
By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.
21 Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Yakobo alebheleye okufwa nayana amabhando abhana bha Yusufu. Yakobo nalamya, neyegeka ku nsimbo yaye.
By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff.
22 Kulikilisha Yusufu munsiku jaye jokumalisha aikiliye ingulu ya abhana bha Israeli okusokamo muchalo cha Misiri na nabhalagilila okugega amawa gaye.
By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel, and gave command concerning his bones.
23 Kulikilisha, Musa ejie ebhulwa, abhebhusi bhaye nibhamuseleka kulwokubha aliga ali mwana mulela akondele, ka bhatobhayile ichilagilo cho omukama.
By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child beautiful, and were not afraid of the decree of the king.
24 Kulikilisha Musa ejile akula nalema okubhilikilwa omwana wo omuasha wa Farao.
By faith Moses, having become great, refused to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
25 Nekilisha okubha mugaya lwa abhanu bha Nyamuanga, nasiga okwikondelesha mubhibhi kwo omwanya mufui.
having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin’s pleasure for a season,
26 Eganilisishe jinswalo jo okulubha Kristo bhubhe bhunibhi bhunene okukila ebhiyanwa bhya Misiri kulwokubha atunuye ameso gaye ku chiyanwa cho omwanya gwaye gunu oguja.
having reckoned the reproach of the Christ greater wealth than the treasures in Egypt, for he looked to the repayment of reward.
27 Kulwejo elikilisha asokelemo muchalo cha Misiri. Atobhaile ubhululu bhwa omukama Farao, kulwokubha ekomesishe neikanya okubhonana na unu aliga atakubhonekana.
By faith he left Egypt behind, having not been afraid of the wrath of the king, for as seeing the Invisible One—he endured.
28 Kulwe elikilisha agwatiliye Ipasaka no kusamulila amanyinga, koleleki omwiti wo omwibhulwa wokwamba, atagwatako abhebhulwa bhokwamba abhechilume abhe Echisraeli.
By faith he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, so that He who is destroying the firstborn might not touch them.
29 Kulwe elikilisha bhalabhile agati ya inyanja ya Shamu lwakutyo abhatula muchalo chinu chumile. Abhamisiri bhejile bhalegeja okutulamo, nibhamilwa.
By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which having made an attempt [to cross], the Egyptians were swallowed up.
30 Kulwe elikilisha olugo lwe echikale cha Yeriko lwaguye ansi, bhejile bhamala okugwiinda ngendo musanju.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been surrounded for seven days.
31 Kulwe elikilisha Rahabu uliya omusimbe wa muchilabho atasingalikile amwi na bhanyantongwa, kulwokubha alamiye abhapeleleji nabhabhika kisi.
By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
32 Naikeki okukila kutyo? Kulwokubha omwanya gutakwiya okusimula aga Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samwel ne ja bhalagi,
And what yet will I say? For the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, also Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, also David, and Samuel, and the prophets,
33 bhanu okulabha ku likilisha bhasingile amakama, bhakolele obhulengelesi, na bhalamiye omulago. Bhaganyishe eminwa ja jintale,
who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
34 bhasimishe amanaga go mulilo, bhebhejishe insonde ya imalo, bhaosibhwe amalwaye, bhaiga bhali bhakaka mubhulemo, na bhakolele ebhiijo bhya abhasilikale okusoka anja ye chalo chebhwe nibhibhilima.
quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of weakness, became strong in battle, caused armies of the foreigners to give way;
35 Abhagasi bhalamiye abhafuye bhebhwe munjila yo bhusuluko.
women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that they might receive a better resurrection,
36 Abhandi bhanyansibhwe, obhutekilisibhwa okusigwa nibhetanya koleleki bhabhone okubhona obhusuluko bhunu bhuli bhwakisi muno. Abhandi bhanyansibhwe kwo kujimibhwa no kwokuchapwa, nakwokubhoywa nokutulwa mumabhoelo.
and others received trial of mockings and scourgings, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
37 Bhabhumilwe na mabhui. Bhatemelwe bhiinju ne misumeno. Bhetilwe kwe bhigwato. Bhagendaga kwa jinjai ja jinyabhalega na jinjayi ja jimbusi bhaliga bhalibhakene, bhagendelee mubhusasi na bhakolewe kubhibhi
they were stoned, they were sawn apart, they were tried; they died in the killing of the sword; they went around in sheepskins, in goatskins—being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
38 (ganu echalo chaliga chiteile okolelwa abho), nibhayengela yengela mwibhala, mubhima, na mumananga na mumobho ga ansi.
of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the holes of the earth;
39 Nolo kutyo abhanu bhona bhanu bhekilisibhwe na Nyamuanga kwainsonga ye likilisha lyebhwe, bhatalamiye chinu aliga alagile.
and all these, having been testified to through faith, did not receive the promise,
40 Nyamuanga elabhile okuchiyana echinu cho bhwana, koleleki atali eswe bhatakatulile kukumisibhwa.
God, having provided something better for us, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
