Bhaebrania 11
1 Ulyeteho ni lioli yalinayo umntu lwagolela ahantu ahamo hudandamazu. Ahantu hasanga haoneshe awe uyinga lioli.
Now, faith is a sure confidence with respect to things hoped for, a firm persuasion with respect to things not seen:
2 Nantele awababu wetu waheteshe kwa lweteho lwao.
for by this the ancients obtained a good reputation.
3 Kwa lweteho timenye aje munsi wahawombwelwe hundajizwa zya Ngolobhe, aje hala hahawoneha sagahahagombwilwe afume huvintu vivioneha. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand that the ages were set in order by the word of God, so that the things which are seen, have not come into being from things that appear. (aiōn g165)
4 Ihali kwa lweteho lwa Habili ahafumizizye Ungolobhe isadaka inyinza hushile u Kaini. Husababu eyo ahasombwelwe aje alinuugolosu. Ungolobhe ahasombele. Huje ahaletile izawadi, U Habili ayanga hata nkafyiye.
By faith Abel offered to God more sacrifice than Cain; on account of which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, though dead, yet speaks.
5 U Henoko ahali nulweteho ahengwilwe humwanya sagaahalolile ufye. “Sagaahawoneshe, kwa vile ilinenwa juu yake kuwa alimpendeza Ungolobhe ahamwenjile” humwanya.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death, and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had the testimony that he pleased God.
6 Bila lweteho sagauwajie hugwezye Ungolobhe, yawala hwa Ngolobhe ahnaziwa awe nulweteho aje Ungolobhe. Akhala naje ahuwapela izawadi wala wawahumwanzo.
But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
7 Ihali hulweteho aje uNuhu, ahasundilwe nu Ngolobhe humambo gasaga gahaoneshe, ishishi ya Ngolobhe ihagombile. Mbongoso yahukombole ikhaya yakwe. Ahawombile esho ahalonjile munsi, ahawa mlithi wa lioli eyo ihezele ashilile ulweteho.
By faith Noah, after being warned concerning things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; by which faith he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 Ihali lweteho aje u Abrahimu, alipoitwa alitii na kwenda mahali ambapo alipaswa kupokea kama lwahakwiziwe aheteshe ahawalile ahaposhe ulithi ahasongoe bila amanye aje awala hwii.
By faith Abraham, when called to go out into a place that he should afterward receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 Ihali lweteho ahiishi hunsi aje jenu. Ahakheye hu mahema peka nu Isaka nu Yakobo, walithi awamwao wa ndagano yiyile.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 Huje ahasowenye ahwenje umji wapime na wazenje yu Ngolobhe yuyo.
for he looked for a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
11 Ihali lweteho aje Ibrahimu, nu Sala yuyo wahaposheye ingovu zya amyemye ulwanda lakini wahali wagogolo hani wahombile Ungolowe aje golosu. Ahawasowezezye umwana wishilume.
By faith also Sarah herself received strength for the conception of seed, and brought forth a child when past the time of life, because she counted him faithful who had promised.
12 Huje afume hwamuntu oyo weka yahakaribiye afye wahapapwa awana wasagawazye. Wahali wichi nazi inzota zya humwanya na msanga wa hu bahari.
Therefore, there were born of one, who was dead as it respects these things, a posterity like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand on the sea-shore, innumerable.
13 Ewe wonti wahafyiye nu lwetiko sagawahaposhea ulusuwelo. Ila wahalolile wahakalibisizye hwahutali waheteshe aje wahali wajenu aje washila shila munsi yao wewo.
All these died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and having embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and sojourners in the land.
14 Wala wawayanganga amambo nazi engo awashe wahuanza insi yao wewo.
For those who say such things, declare plainly that they seek a country.
15 Lioli nkawasewenga insi yawahafumile indi walininafasi ya wele, wangelikuwa na nafasi ya kurejea.
And if indeed they had been mindful of that from which they came, they could have had an opportunity to return.
16 Eshi shileho wanyonywa insi yilishinza ya humwanya. Eshi Ungolobhe sangaalola isoni akwiziwe Ngolobhi wao yuyo agombile umji khaajili yao.
But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country; wherefore God is not ashamed of them, that he should be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
17 Ihali ilweteho u Abrahamu ahapata ingelo, ahafumya u Isaka. Umwene ahapashela ulusuwelo husheshelo, ahafumizye umwana wakwe weka,
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: even his first-born, did he that had received the promises, offer up,
18 yuyuyo ahayangwile, “Afume hwa Isaka ishikholoshakwe azakwiziwe.”
of which first-born it was said: In Isaac shall your posterity be called:
19 U Ablaimu ahamenye aje Ungolobhe ahali ni ngovu wa huzyosye u Isaka afume hufyiye, ahayanjile hukabila ya shitenda wili ahaposheye.
for he concluded that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; wherefore he received him even in like manner.
20 Ihali lweteho aje u Isaka ahasaile uYakobo nu Esau ahusu amambo gagahuenza.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 Ihali lweteho aje uYakobo lwahali lwahali karibu afye ahasaile awana wa Yusufu wekaweka. U Yakobo ahaputile ahategemee humwanya yi ndesa yakwe.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped on the top of his staff.
22 Ihali lweteho aje u Yusufu uwakati wakwe wa malishe lwahakalibia ahayenje aje afume hwawana wa Israeli huMisri ahawalajizya ahweje peka amafupa gakwe,
By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa iwahapapwilwe wahafisile amezi gatatu na awazazi wakwe wahanolile aje mwana usanga ya hali mwinza, sagawaahongope indajizwo izwa mwene.
By faith Moses was concealed by his parents for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child: and they feared not the command of the king.
24 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa lwahali muntu ugosi ahakhanile akwiziwe mwana wa nendi wa Farao.
By faith Moses, when he became a man, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 Pamande ahasaluye ahale na malawa peka na wantu wa Ngolobhe saga ahasungwenzye ianasa imbiwi izya papepe.
choosing rather to suffer evil with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;
26 Ahasewele isoni ya hufuante uKristi aje uutajili ugosi kuliko imali ya Mmisri ahakazile amaso ahunye izawadi husiku zizihwenza.
esteeming the reproach on account of the Christ as greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he earnestly looked to the reward.
27 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa ahahepile huMisri. Sagaahogope ilioyo lya mwene, ahuenye gasanga gawoneha.
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the anger of the king: for he patiently endured, as seeing him that is invisible.
28 Ihali lweteho aje ahaikhente ipasaka na atonyelezwe idada, aje umiwi yananganya awawapapwe awahwande awashilume apotwe huwa khante, awaIsraeli.
By faith he kept the passover, and the affusion of blood, that he who destroyed the first-born might not touch them.
29 Ihali lweteho aje wahashilile pahati yi isumbi ya shamu aje mahali pumu. Awamisri lwawahajezya ashile wahamililwe.
By faith they passed through the Bed Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do, were drowned.
30 Ihali lwetiho aje uluwumba wa Yeriko wahagwiye pasi, wahazwongolile isiku saba.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after the people had gone around them for seven days.
31 Ihali lweteho aje u Rahabu ula umalaya sanga ahangamie peka na wala wasanga wahali wagolosu, ahawaopesheye wawahezele ahwenyelezye ahawa wehsele pinza,
By faith Rabab the harlot perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies with peace.
32 Injanje zwoni hani? Amasala sanga gakwela ayanje u Gidioni, u Barak, u Samsoni, u Yeftha, u Daudi, u Samweli na awakuwa,
And what further shall I say? For the time would fail me, were I to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah, of David also and Samuel, and of the prophets,
33 aje ashilile ulweteho wahazimenile umwene wahawombile ihaki na wahaposheye ulusuwelo, wahazinjile amalomu gihanu,
who, through faith, subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
34 wahazimile ingovu zwonti zi moto wahaponjele uwonji wipanga wahapona afume hu mpungo, wahali wadandamazu iwho wahezele awalogo awajenu wahashembeye.
quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
35 Awashe wahaposhe awafyewao hwidala la ufufulwe. Awamo wahalawile, saga waheteshe aleshwe shinza aje wawaje uzyoswo amwinza hani.
Women received their dead raised to life again: but others were beat to death, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection;
36 Awamo wahalawile, wahasoshele, wahashetwilwe, nantele wahapinywilwe mwijela.
others had trial of mockings and scourgings, bonds also, and imprisonments.
37 Wahakhomilwa amawe. Wahawolilwe. Mentu mentu. Wahabudilwe nu panga. Wahajendanga namakwembe gingole na makwembe gi mbuzi ewo wahazanga, wahawalanga shawavyaleye wahawombwelwanga amawiwi
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword: they went about in sheep-skins, in goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, oppressed with evils,
38 (ewo munsi sagabhahazwanga awe nao), wahaziongolaga ziongolanga mwihombe, mwigamba, magwenya, mmagondi igamusni.
(of whom the world was not worthy, ) wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and in caverns, and in dens of the earth.
39 Lelo awantu wonti ewo Ungolobhe ahawenteshe wahali nulweteho, sagawahaposheye indangano.
And all these, having obtained a good reputation by faith, received not the promise,
40 Ungolobhe ahalongeye hutupele ahantu ahiza, aje bilaante sangawawajie.
because God had provided some better thing for us, that they, without us, should not be made perfect.
