Bhaebrania 11
1 Ulyeteho ni lioli yalinayo umntu lwagolela ahantu ahamo hudandamazu. Ahantu hasanga haoneshe awe uyinga lioli.
Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
2 Nantele awababu wetu waheteshe kwa lweteho lwao.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Kwa lweteho timenye aje munsi wahawombwelwe hundajizwa zya Ngolobhe, aje hala hahawoneha sagahahagombwilwe afume huvintu vivioneha. (aiōn g165)
Through faith we perceive that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that that which is seen hath not been made out of things which 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 a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he received testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it though dead he yet speaketh.
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 he was not found, because God 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 cometh 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, being warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his house; by 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 Abraham, when called, obeyed to go forth to a place which he was afterward to receive for an inheritance, and went forth, not knowing whither he was going.

By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise, as in a foreign country, 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 was looking for the city which hath foundations, whose maker 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.
Through faith Sarah herself also received power to conceive, even when she was past age, because she accounted 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.
Wherefore there sprang even from one, and him become as dead, a race like the stars of heaven in multitude, and like the sand by the seashore which cannot be numbered.
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 promised blessings, but having seen them from afar, and greeted them, and having professed that they were strangers and sojourners on the earth.
14 Wala wawayanganga amambo nazi engo awashe wahuanza insi yao wewo.
For they who say such things show plainly that they are seeking 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 out, they would have had 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 country, that is, a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he prepared for them a city.

By faith Abraham, when tried, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only-begotten son,
18 yuyuyo ahayangwile, “Afume hwa Isaka ishikholoshakwe azakwiziwe.”
he to whom it was said, “From Isaac shall thine offspring be reckoned;”
19 U Ablaimu ahamenye aje Ungolobhe ahali ni ngovu wa huzyosye u Isaka afume hufyiye, ahayanjile hukabila ya shitenda wili ahaposheye.

By faith Joseph, when dying, made mention of the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave directions 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, when born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was fair and they feared not the king's commandment.
24 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa lwahali muntu ugosi ahakhanile akwiziwe mwana wa nendi wa Farao.
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called 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 affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures 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 of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the recompense of reward.
27 Ihali lweteho aje uMusa ahahepile huMisri. Sagaahogope ilioyo lya mwene, ahuenye gasanga gawoneha.
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.

32 Injanje zwoni hani? Amasala sanga gakwela ayanje u Gidioni, u Barak, u Samsoni, u Yeftha, u Daudi, u Samweli na awakuwa,
And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, and Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel, and the prophets;
33 aje ashilile ulweteho wahazimenile umwene wahawombile ihaki na wahaposheye ulusuwelo, wahazinjile amalomu gihanu,
who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promised blessings, stopped the mouths of lions,

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, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they went about in sheep-skins and goat-skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented,
38 (ewo munsi sagabhahazwanga awe nao), wahaziongolaga ziongolanga mwihombe, mwigamba, magwenya, mmagondi igamusni.
