Bhaebrania 11
1 Ulyeteho ni lioli yalinayo umntu lwagolela ahantu ahamo hudandamazu. Ahantu hasanga haoneshe awe uyinga lioli.
Now faith is being confident of what we hope for, convinced about things we do not see.
2 Nantele awababu wetu waheteshe kwa lweteho lwao.
For by this, the people of old were attested.
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 prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (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, Habeil offered to God a better sacrifice than Qayen, through which he was attested as righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and though he died he still speaks through it.
5 U Henoko ahali nulweteho ahengwilwe humwanya sagaahalolile ufye. “Sagaahawoneshe, kwa vile ilinenwa juu yake kuwa alimpendeza Ungolobhe ahamwenjile” humwanya.
By faith, Khenuk was taken away, so that he would not see death, "and he was not found, because God took him away." For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.
6 Bila lweteho sagauwajie hugwezye Ungolobhe, yawala hwa Ngolobhe ahnaziwa awe nulweteho aje Ungolobhe. Akhala naje ahuwapela izawadi wala wawahumwanzo.
Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who 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, Nukh, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a box-shaped ship for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to 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, Avraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going.
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 a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Iskhaq and Yaquv, the heirs with him of the same promise.
10 Huje ahasowenye ahwenje umji wapime na wazenje yu Ngolobhe yuyo.
For he looked for the city which 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, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered 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 as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.
13 Ewe wonti wahafyiye nu lwetiko sagawahaposhea ulusuwelo. Ila wahalolile wahakalibisizye hwahutali waheteshe aje wahali wajenu aje washila shila munsi yao wewo.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were foreigners and temporary residents on the earth.
14 Wala wawayanganga amambo nazi engo awashe wahuanza insi yao wewo.
For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
15 Lioli nkawasewenga insi yawahafumile indi walininafasi ya wele, wangelikuwa na nafasi ya kurejea.
If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
16 Eshi shileho wanyonywa insi yilishinza ya humwanya. Eshi Ungolobhe sangaalola isoni akwiziwe Ngolobhi wao yuyo agombile umji khaajili yao.
Instead, they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
17 Ihali ilweteho u Abrahamu ahapata ingelo, ahafumya u Isaka. Umwene ahapashela ulusuwelo husheshelo, ahafumizye umwana wakwe weka,
By faith, Avraham, being tested, offered up Iskhaq; and he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;
18 yuyuyo ahayangwile, “Afume hwa Isaka ishikholoshakwe azakwiziwe.”
even he to whom it was said, "In Iskhaq will your descendants be called;"
19 U Ablaimu ahamenye aje Ungolobhe ahali ni ngovu wa huzyosye u Isaka afume hufyiye, ahayanjile hukabila ya shitenda wili ahaposheye.

By faith, Iskhaq blessed Yaquv and Isuw, even 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, Yaquv, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Yauseph, and bowed over 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, Yauseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the people of Israyel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.

25 Pamande ahasaluye ahale na malawa peka na wantu wa Ngolobhe saga ahasungwenzye ianasa imbiwi izya papepe.
choosing rather to share ill treatment with God's people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
26 Ahasewele isoni ya hufuante uKristi aje uutajili ugosi kuliko imali ya Mmisri ahakazile amaso ahunye izawadi husiku zizihwenza.
considering the abuse suffered for the Meshikha greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
27 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa ahahepile huMisri. Sagaahogope ilioyo lya mwene, ahuenye gasanga gawoneha.
