Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Sadika ndi kuvya na uchakaka wa mambu getihuvalila na kumanya njwe chakaka vindu vyangawonekana vivili.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga vagogo vitu kadeni, vayidakiliwi na Chapanga.
3 By faith we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible. (aiōn g165)
Kwa sadika tete timanya kuvya mulima wawumbiwi kwa lilovi la Chapanga, hati vindu vyeviwonekana vyawumbiwi kuhuma vindu vyangalolekana. (aiōn g165)
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Abeli amuwusili Chapanga luteta lwa kuhinjwa yeyivili yabwina neju kuliku yila ya Kaini. Ndava ya sadika ayidakiliwi na Chapanga kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki, Chapanga mwene aziyidakili luteta zaki. Kwa sadika yaki pamonga afwili, akona akutiwula timhuvalila Chapanga.
5 By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga, Henoki atoliwi kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga, ndi afwili lepi. Awonikini lepi kavili muni Chapanga amtolili. Mayandiku Gamsopi gijova kuvya, kwakona kutoliwa kuhamba kunani kwa Chapanga ayidakiliwi kuvya mundu mweamganisi Chapanga.
6 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.
Kawaka mundu mweihotola kumganisa Chapanga changali kumsadika, ndava muni kila mundu mweakumhambila Chapanga ndi yikumgana asadika kuvya Chapanga avili, namwene akuvayunga vevakumgana kwa kukangamala.
7 By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Nuhu, ajoviwi na Chapanga mambu gala gegibwela kulongolo, gala gegawonekini lepi. Ndava ya kumyidakili Chapanga, ajengili Safina, mwenumo mwene pamonga na vandu va mu lukolo lwaki vasanguliwi. Kwa kusadika kwaki alangisi vandu voha vandu voha va pamulima vahukumiwi ndava ya uhakau, na Chapanga amkitili kuvya mbwina palongolo yaki ndava ya kumsadika.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Ibulahimu akemeliwi ahambayi pamulima weajovili Chapanga yati akumpela. Aulekili mulima waki Changali kumanya ihamba koki.
9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga, Ibulahimu avili myehe pamulima wealagaziwi na Chapanga. Atamili kwenuko mulindanda ngati cheatamili Izaki na Yakobo, vevapokili lilagizu lilalila kuhuma Kwa Chapanga.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Muni Ibulahimu avi mukulindila muji weujengiwi kwa mkingisa wa kusindimala, muji wewaholaliwi na kujengwa na Chapanga mwene.
11 By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga, Ibulahimu avi Dadi hati ngati avi mgogolo neju na Sala avi ngaveleka. Ibulahimu amsadiki Chapanga yati itimilisa malagizu gaki.
12 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.
Kuhumila kwa mundu mwenuyo mmonga, Ibulahimu, mweavi ngati afwili, vavelakiwi vandu vamahele vangavalangika ngati ndondo za kunani kwa Chapanga na msavati wa kumbwani.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Vandu ava voha vafwili kuni vakona vakumsadika Chapanga. Vapokili lepi gala gealagazili Chapanga, nambu vagawene cha kutali na kuhekelela, vasadiki kuvya vene ndi vayehe vavili lepi na pakutama ngati pavi apa pamulima.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Vandu vevijova mambu ngati ago vilangisa kuvya vaulonda mulima uvya wavi vene.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Ngaviholalela mulima wevaumili kadeni ngavahotwili kuwuya kwenuko.
16 But now they desire 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.
Nambu pahala paki vinogela mulima wabwina neju, ndi mulima wa kunani kwa Chapanga. Ndava yeniyo Chapanga ikola lepi soni kukemelewa Chapanga wavi, muni avatendelekili muji.
17 By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his only born son,
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga, Ibulahimu ayidakili kumuwusa Izaki mweavi mwana waki ngati luteta pala pealingiwi na Chapanga. Ibulahimu mweapokili lilagizu la Chapanga, nambu hati ago, ayidakili kumuwusa luteta mwana waki ngayuyo.
18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
Pamonga Chapanga amjovili Ibulahimu, “Vachiveleku vaku yati vihumila kwa Izaki.”
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.
Ibulahimu asadiki Chapanga ihotola kuyukisa vandu vevafwili, na tihotola kujova chakaka Ibulahimu ampokili kavili Izaki kuhuma vandu vevafwili.
20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Izaki avamotisi Yakobo na Esau, kwa gala gegibwela mwanakandahi.
21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Yakobo peavi papipi kufwa, avamotisi vana voha va Yosefu, akamgundamila Chapanga kuni ayegemili ndonga yaki.
22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel, and gave instructions concerning his bones.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Yosefu peavi papipi kufwa, ajovili ndava ya kuhuma kwa vandu va Isilaeli mulima wa ku Misili, na mewa avalagazili vatola majege gaki peviwuka.
23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga dadi na nyina wa Musa vamhiyili Musa mulukumbi lwa miheyi yidatu peamali kuvelekewa. Vamuwene kuvya mwana mbwina, wala vayogwipi lepi malagizu ga nkosi.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Musa peavi mundu mvaha, abelili kukemelewa mwana wa msikana wa Falao ndi nkosi wa Misili.
25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
Awene mbanga kung'ahika pamonga na vandu va Chapanga kuliku kuhekelela luheku lwa kumbudila Chapanga, mulukumbi luhupi.
26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.
Amanyili kuvya kung'ahika ndava ya Kilisitu ndi lijambu labwina kuliku umahele wa vindu vyoha vya mulima wa Misili, muni alolelayi kupokela luhuna lwaki lwa wumi wa magono goha gangali mwishu.
27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Musa ahumili ku Misili changali kuyogopa ligoga la nkosi. Na asindimili ndava avi ngati mundu mweamuwene Chapanga angalolekana kwa mihu.
28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga, Musa akitili mselebuko wa Pasaka na kulagiza ngasi yinyunyuziwa panani ya milyangu, muni mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga wa mweatumwili kuleta lifwa akotoka kuvakoma vana vagosi vatumbulanu va Isilaeli.
29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga vandu va Isilaeli vakupwiki nyanja ya Shamu ngati pa ndumba, nambu Vamisili pavaganili kukupuka vafwili mumanji.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga luwumba lwa muji wa Yeliko lwagwili, vandu va Isilaeli pevamali kuzitindila luwumba zenizo mu magono saba.
31 By faith Rahab the prostitute didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga Lahabu mweavi yula mdala mkemi akomiwi lepi na vala vangasadika, ndava avapokili chabwina vamang'omesi va Isilaeli.
32 What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets—
Hinu, nijova kyani neju? Nivii lepi na fwasi ya kujova mambu ga Gidioni na Balaki na Samsoni na Yefuta na Daudi na Samueli na vamlota va Chapanga.
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga vandu venavo vavahotwili vankosi. Vavahamwili ngati cheyikumganisa Chapanga, na vapokili gala gevalagaziwi na Chapanga. Vakungili milomo ya mahimba,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.
vajimisi miali ya motu, vatilili kukomiwa kwa vipula, pevavi vangolongondi, vasopiwi makakala, vavi vakekesi ku ngondo, vavavingili manjolinjoli vayehe.
35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Kwa kumsadika Chapanga vadala vangi vakiliwusiwi valongo vevafwili kwa kuyukiswa. Vangi vavi vang'aiki mpaka kufwa vabeli kudinduliwa muni vayukiswayi na kuyingila muwumi weuvi wabwina neju.
36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
Vangi vaveviswi na kutoviwa michapilu, vangi vakungiwi minyololo na kutagilwa muchifungu.
37 They were stoned. They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated—
Vafwili kwa kutoviwa na maganga, vangi vadumuliwi kwa msumeno hipandi hivili, vangi vakomiwi kwa vipula. Valyungilyungi kuni vawalili vikumba vya mambelele na mene. Vavi vandu vangangu, vang'aiswi na kukitiwa uhakau.
38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts, mountains, caves, and the holes of the earth.
Mulima waganikiwa lepi kuvya na vandu ngati avo. Valyungilyungili kulugangatu na kuchitumbi, vatama mu mbugu na mumagodi ga pandima.
39 These all, having been commended for their faith, didn’t receive the promise,
Vandu ava voha vawonikini kuvya vakekesi ndava ya kusadika kwavi. Pamonga na ago, vapokili lepi gala geajovili Chapanga,
40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
ndava Chapanga aganili kutihengela lijambu labwina neju ndava yitu, muni aganili kuvya vene pamonga na tete ndu kuvya vakamilifu.
