Ba-Ebre 11
1 Nzokande kondima ezali ndanga ya kozwa biloko oyo tozali kolikya epai ya Nzambe, mpe kobika lokola nde tosili kozwa biloko yango atako tozali komona yango te.
Now faith is the grounds of things, which are hoped for, and the euidence of things which are not seene.
2 Ezali mpo na kondima nde Nzambe asepelaki na bato ya kala.
For by it our elders were well reported of.
3 Ezali na kondima nde tososolaka ete mokili esalemaki na nzela ya Liloba na Nzambe, mpe ete biloko oyo emonanaka esalemaki na nzela ya biloko oyo emonanaka te. (aiōn g165)
Through faith we vnderstand that the world was ordeined by the worde of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appeare. (aiōn g165)
4 Mpo na kondima, Abele abonzelaki Nzambe mbeka ya malamu koleka oyo ya Kayina. Mpo na kondima, Nzambe atatolaki na tina na ye ete azali moto ya sembo, pamba te Nzambe andimaki makabo na ye. Mpo na kondima, Abele alobaka kino lelo atako asila kokufa.
By faith Abel offered vnto God a greater sacrifice then Cain, by the which he obtained witnes that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: by the which faith also he being dead, yet speaketh.
5 Mpo na kondima, Enoki amemamaki kino epai ya Nzambe. Boye, atikalaki komona kufa te. Bamonaki ye lisusu te, pamba te Nzambe azwaki ye. Liboso na Enoki konetolama, Makomi etatolaki na tina na ye ete asepelisaki Nzambe.
By faith was Enoch translated, that he should not see death: neither was he found: for God had translated him: for before he was translated, he was reported of, that he had pleased God.
6 Nzokande, moto moko te akoki kosepelisa Nzambe soki azangi kondima, pamba te moto oyo azali kopusana pene ya Nzambe asengeli kondima ete Nzambe azali mpe afutaka bato oyo balukaka Ye.
But without faith it is vnpossible to please him: for he that commeth to God, must beleeue that God is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seeke him.
7 Mpo na kondima, Noa atosaki Nzambe mpe atongaki masuwa mpo na lobiko ya libota na ye, sima na ye koyoka makebisi ya Nzambe na tina na makambo oyo ezalaki nanu komonana te. Mpo na kondima, Noa amonisaki mabe ya mokili mpe akomaki mokitani ya bosembo oyo ezwamaka na nzela ya kondima.
By faith Noe being warned of God of the things which were as yet not seene, mooued with reuerence, prepared the Arke to the sauing of his housholde, through the which Arke hee condemned the world, and was made heire of the righteousnes, which is by faith.
8 Mpo na kondima, Abrayami atosaki Nzambe oyo abengaki ye mpe atindaki ye kokende na mokili oyo asengelaki kozwa na sima lokola libula. Atosaki mpe akendeki atako ayebaki te epai azalaki kokende.
By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed God, to goe out into a place, which hee should afterward receiue for inheritance, and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 Mpo na kondima, avandaki lokola mopaya kati na mokili oyo Nzambe alakaki ye; azalaki kovanda na bandako ya kapo lokola Izaki mpe Jakobi oyo mpe bazwaki elaka ya ndenge moko na ye.
By faith he abode in the land of promise, as in a strange countrey, as one that dwelt in tents with Isaac and Iacob heires with him of the same promise.
10 Pamba te Abrayami azalaki kozela engumba oyo ezali na miboko oyo ebukanaka te, engumba oyo Ye moko Nzambe azali Mobongisi mpe Motongi na yango.
For he looked for a citie hauing a foundation, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Mpo na kondima, Sara mpe azwaki makoki ya komema zemi atako mibu na ye ya kobota esilaki koleka wuta kala, pamba te andimaki ete Ye oyo apesaki ye elaka akosaka te.
Through faith Sara also receiued strength to conceiue seede, and was deliuered of a childe when she was past age, because she iudged him faithfull which had promised.
12 Yango wana, wuta na moto oyo akomaki mpaka mpe pene ya kokufa, bato babotamaki ebele penza lokola minzoto ya likolo mpe lokola zelo ya libongo ya ebale, oyo bakoki kutu kotanga te.
And therefore sprang there of one, euen of one which was dead, so many as the starres of the skie in multitude, and as the land of the sea shore which is innumerable.
13 Bato nyonso wana bakufaki kati na kondima mpe batikalaki kozwa te biloko oyo Nzambe alakaki bango, kasi bamonaki yango kaka na mosika mpe bapesaki yango mbote. Bandimaki ete bazali solo bapaya mpe baleki nzela kati na mokili.
All these died in faith, and receiued not the promises, but sawe them a farre off, and beleeued them, and receiued them thankefully, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Bato oyo balobaka ete bazali bapaya mpe baleki nzela kati na mokili batalisaka polele ete bazali koluka mokili na bango.
For they that say such things, declare plainely, that they seeke a countrey.
15 Mpe soki bakanisaki mokili oyo batikaki, mbele balingaki kozonga lisusu kuna.
And if they had bene mindfull of that countrey, from whence they came out, they had leasure to haue returned.
16 Kasi sik’oyo bazali koluka mokili ya kitoko penza, elingi koloba mokili ya Likolo. Yango wana Nzambe azalaka na soni te tango babengaka Ye « Nzambe na bango, » pamba te abongisela bango engumba moko ya kitoko.
But nowe they desire a better, that is an heauenly: wherefore God is not ashamed of them to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a citie.
17 Mpo na kondima, Abrayami akabaki Izaki lokola mbeka tango Nzambe amekaki ye motema; amilengelaki mpo na kokaba mwana na ye wana kaka moko, atako azalaki na elaka.
By faith Abraham offered vp Isaac, when he was tryed, and he that had receiued the promises, offered his onely begotten sonne.
18 Nzambe alobaki na ye: « Ezali na nzela ya Izaki nde okozwa bakitani. »
(To whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seede be called.)
19 Abrayami azalaki na elikya ete Nzambe azali na makoki ya kosekwisa Izaki longwa na bakufi, yango wana Nzambe azongiselaki ye mwana na ye: yango ezalaki kaka elilingi.
For he considered that God was able to raise him vp euen from the dead: from whence he receiued him also after a sort.
20 Mpo na kondima, Izaki apambolaki Jakobi mpe Ezawu mpo na lolenge ya bomoi oyo basengelaki kobika na mikolo oyo esengelaki koya.

23 Mpo na kondima, baboti ya Moyize babombaki mwana na bango, Moyize, sanza misato sima na mbotama na ye, pamba te bamonaki ete azali kitoko mingi mpe babangaki te mobeko ya mokonzi.
By faith Moses when he was borne, was hid three moneths of his parents, because they sawe he was a proper childe, neither feared they the kings commandement.
24 Mpo na kondima, wana Moyize akomaki mokolo, aboyaki ete babenga ye « mwana mobali ya mwana mwasi ya Faraon. »
By faith Moses when he was come to age, refused to be called the sonne of Pharaohs daughter,
25 Aponaki komona pasi elongo na bato ya Nzambe, na esika ya kosepela mwa tango moke na bomoi ya masumu;
And chose rather to suffer aduersitie with the people of God, then to enioy the pleasures of sinnes for a season,
26 pamba te amonaki ete kotiolama lokola Klisto ezali malamu koleka bomengo ya Ejipito, mpo ete azalaki kotalela lifuti oyo ezali koya.
Esteeming the rebuke of Christ greater riches then the treasures of Egypt: for he had respect vnto the recompence of the reward.
27 Mpo na kondima, Moyize abangaki te kanda ya mokonzi mpo na kobima longwa na Ejipito, mpe atikalaki ngwi na mokano na ye lokola nde azali komona Nzambe oyo amonanaka te.

32 Bongo naloba lisusu nini? Pamba te nakozanga tango soki nabandi koloba na tina na Jedeon, Baraki, Samison, Jefite, Davidi, Samuele mpe basakoli.
And what shall I more say? for the time would be too short for me to tell of Gedeon, of Barac, and of Sampson, and of Iephte, also of Dauid, and Samuel, and of the Prophets:
33 Mpo na kondima, balongaki bokonzi ebele, batambolisaki makambo na bosembo mpe bamonaki bilaka ya Nzambe kokokisama mpo na bango; bakangaki ata minoko ya bankosi,
Which through faith subdued kingdomes, wrought righteousnesse, obteined the promises, stopped the mouthes of lions,
34 balongaki nguya ya moto oyo ezalaki kopela makasi mpe babikaki na kufa ya mopanga. Atako bazalaki bato ya bolembu, bakomaki makasi na bitumba mpe bakimisaki mampinga ya basoda ya bapaya.
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sworde, of weake were made strong, waxed valiant in battell, turned to flight the armies of the aliants.
35 Mpo na kondima, basi bamonaki bato na bango, oyo bakufaki kozonga lisusu na bomoi. Bato mosusu bandimaki ata konyokwama mpe baboyaki ete basikola bango, mpo bayebaki ete bakosekwa mpe bakozala na bomoi oyo ezali kitoko koleka.
The women receiued their dead raised to life: other also were racked, and woulde not be deliuered, that they might receiue a better resurrection.
36 Bamosusu batiolamaki, babetamaki fimbu, batiamaki minyololo mpe babwakamaki na boloko;
And others haue bene tryed by mockings and scourgings, yea, moreouer by bondes and prisonment.
37 bamosusu babomaki bango na mabanga, bakataki bango na biteni mibale na si, babomaki bango na mopanga, bakomaki na bomoi ya koyengayenga mpe bakomaki kolata baposo ya bameme mpe ya bantaba; bakelelaki na nyonso, banyokolaki bango mpe bayokisaki bango pasi:
They were stoned, they were hewen asunder, they were tempted, they were slaine with the sworde, they wandred vp and downe in sheepes skinnes, and in goates skinnes, being destitute, afflicted, and tormented:
38 ya solo, mokili etikalaki lisusu malamu te mpo na bango, bakomaki koyengayenga kati na bisobe, na bangomba, kati na bibombamelo ya mabanga mpe na mabulu oyo ezalaka na se ya mabele.
Whom the world was not worthie of: they wandered in wildernesses and mountaines, and dennes, and caues of the earth.
39 Kati na bango nyonso wana, atako Nzambe asepelaki na bango mpo na kondima na bango, moko te azwaki biloko oyo Nzambe alakaki bango.
And these all through faith obteined good report, and receiued not the promise,
40 Nzambe asalaki mabongisi ya kitoko penza mpo na biso, pamba te alingaki ete bakoma bato ya kokoka nzela moko na biso.
God prouiding a better thing for vs, that they without vs should not be made perfite.
