Ibraniyawa 11
1 Nene uyinnu sa uyenu, unere uyinnuari ule na unit dumun, idinin nayi akone ncaa nimomon, utabbas nimon ile na isa yene ba.
Now faith is the title-deed of things hoped for; the putting to the proof of things not seen.
2 Bara nanere acif bite iwa yinin nighinu bara uyinnu mine sa uyenu.
For by it men of old times had witness borne to them.
3 Kiti nyinnu sa uyenuari, tina yinin nworu iwasu makekewa kiti nbellu Kutelle, bara nworo imon ile na iwadi nyenju ba, iwa ke nanya nimon ile na idi sa uyenju. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand that the world was fashioned by the Word of God, so that what we see was not made out of what is visible. (aiōn g165)
4 Uwadi kitene nyinnu sa uyenuari Habila wanii Kutelle uzaka dedeii na nafo gwane Kayinu ba, uwasa bara nanere iwa rughe bara lidu lilau, kutelle wa rughe bara uzaka na awa nii, bara nanere Habila duu nliru, nworu ana mal ukuu.
By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice more acceptable than that of Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he was righteous, God giving the testimony by accepting his gifts; and through it he, although he is dead, still speaks.
5 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wadi na iwa yaun Enok ku udu kitene na awa yenu ukuul ba, na iwa seghe ba, “Bara iwa woro awa poo Kutelle ayi kamin iwa yaun ghe udu kitene kani.
By faith Enoch was translated so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. Before his translation he had witness borne to him that he pleased God.
6 Tiwasa tipoo Kutelle ayi ba, asa ti dira uyinnu sa uyenu, bara ulenge na aba dak kiti Kutelle gbarsari ayinin au aduku, nin nworu adin nizu uduk kiti nalenge na idin piziru ghe.
now without faith it is impossible to please him; for he who comes to God must believe that he is, and that he ever rewards those who are seeking.
7 uwadi nin yinnu sa uyenuari, Kutelle was gbaru Nufu ku, mbellen nimon ile na Isa yene ba, nin durtu Kutelle akee uzirgi bara usu tucu kilari mye, bara usu nani amini wati uyu lawa anan ncaah nkuul, bara iwa da lawa anan fiu, Kutelle na udin dasu kiti nyinnu sa uyenu.
By faith Noah, warned of God of things not yet seen, reverently gave heed, and built an ark for the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is of faith.
8 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati Ibrahim ku, kubi na Kutelle was yicilaghe, adofino anya udu kiti kanga na aba seru nafo ugadu, ame tinna anya sa uyiru kiti kaa na aba du.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out unto a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari wati ghe adi so nkan kipin nafo kumara, adi so kudanga nin Ishaku a Yakubu, adodong ngadu nalikwali arume.
It was by faith that he sojourned in the promised land as an alien, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, his fellow heirs of the same promise.
10 Nanere wadi bara ame wa yene ubun kiti nalenge na inughere wa kagbire ulenge na unan mbo likiye nin kewe di Kutelle.
For he continually looked for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Nin nyinnu sauyenuari Ibrahim nin wani mye saraya, iwa seru likara nmaru kube na iwadi ikunno gbongbong, na iwa yene Kutelle ulle na iba yinnu ninghe, ulenge na ana su nani alikawali ngono.
By faith even Sarah herself received power to conceive seed, although she was past the age for child-bearing, because she counted Him faithful who had promised;
12 Bara nani tutun, unuzu nnit ulere ulenge na awa dak susut nkuu awa macu akara gbardang iwa so gbardang nafo iyini kitene kani, nafo licicin kurawa longo na iwasa iguro ba.
and thus there sprang from one man, and him practically dead, a nation like the stars in the heavens in multitude, or grains of sand upon the seashore, innumerable.
13 Inughe vat wa kuzu sa useru nalikwali, nin nani iwa iyinna yene nin nse nmahabi a idutu piit, iyinna inug amarari nanya inye.
These all died in faith, not having yet received the promises; nay, but they saw them from afar, and hailed them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Bara alenge na iwa bellin ile ione wa nutun fong nworu idin piziru nilari nati mine.
For those who say such things make it plain that they are seeking a Fatherland.
15 Kidegen andi idin kpilizu mbellen kipin kanga na ina nuzuku, iwa se kubin nkpillu.
And if they had cherished the memory of that land from which they went out, they would have found an opportunity to return;
16 Bara iwadi ncisu kibinai kipin kicine kinnere kitene kani, bara nani na Kutelle wa lanza icing iyicilaghe Kutelle mine ba, tunda na ana kele kagbir bara inughe.
but now they are longing for a better homeland, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; and he has prepared a city for them.
17 Uwadi nanya nyinnu sa uyenu, nworo Ibrahim kubi na iwa dumunghe anii Ishaku ku, eh ame ulenge nin liburi liboo awa seru alikawali awa nii gono mye kirume cas.
By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test, was on the point of offering up Isaac; yes, he who had received the promise was about to offer up his only son,
18 Kitene nghari iwa bellin “unuzu Ishaku iba yicilu likura fe?
of whom it had been said, It is through Isaac that your posterity will be traced.
For he accounted God able even to raise from the dead, from whence, figuratively speaking, he did indeed receive him back again.
20 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu wati, Ishaku nin Yakubu ku nmari kitene nimon ncin dak.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.
21 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu kubi na awa cinu ukuu atah vat nonon Yusufu nmari, Yusufu tumuno Kutelle ayedine litin nca mye.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.
22 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Yusufu na imalin mye ndah, alira nbellen nsunu nono Isiraila umasar, a belle nani iyiru akuu mye nanghinu.
By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the exodus of the children of Israel, and gave instructions in regard to his bones.
23 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, Musa kubi nmaru mye, annit was nyeshe ghe tipui titat, bara iwa yene ame gonari kicaut, na iwa lanza fiu nduka ngo ba.
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s decree.
24 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu, nworu Musa kubi na awa kunoo, anari iyiciliaghe gono nshono ngo Firiauna.
By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 Nin nani afere ukosu nniu nan nanit Kutelle nan nworu alanza nmang un kulapi kubi baat.
choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.
26 Awa yene ulanzu ncin ndortu Kutelle nafo use nimon nacara ri gbardang, ikatin imon nmasar, bara adin ncisu iyizi mye nse nduk unbun.
He accounted the obloquy of Christ to be greater than the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his eyes on the reward.
27 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari, Musa wa suun umasar, na aw ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na idi nyenjughe baa latiza fiu tinana nayi ngo ba, bara awa ti ayi akone nyenju nlenge na id nyenju ghe ba.
By faith he left Egypt, not because he feared the wrath of the king, but he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
28 Nin nyinnu sa uyenu awa su ubukin nkallu nkul nin zaminu nmii, bara unan nmolusu nonon nfari wa dudo nonon nfari Isiraila.
By faith he established the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood, in order that the Destroying Angel might not touch the firstborn.
29 Nanya nyinnu sa uyenuari ingu wa kafin kurawa kushine nafo kuteen ku kone, kubi na amasarawa wa woro isu nani, kurawe mila nani.
By faith the people crossed over the Red Sea as on dry land; and when the Egyptians tried to do this they were swallowed up.
30 Nin nyinnu sa uyenuari azunu njeriko wa disu, kubi na iwa kiilin nanya nayiri kuzor.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled seven days.
31 Nin nyinnu sa uyenari Rahap ukilaki, awa nanna nan nalenge na iwa salin ndortu nliru, bara awa seru anan piziru nyinnu asu nani acine lau.
By faith Rahab, the harlot, perished not with the disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace.
32 Ani iyaghari nbakuru nbellina? bara na kubi ba batini nwan bellin ubellen nan Gidiyon, Barak, Samsin, Jefita, Dauda, Samela, nan Kagisin na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.
And what more shall I say? for time would fail me to tell of Gideon, of Barak, of Samson, and of Jeptha; of David and Samuel and the prophets,
33 Alenge kiti nyinnu mine sa uyennu iwa lii likara nilari tigo, isu katuwa kacine, isere alikwali itursu tinuu nazaki.
who through faith conquered kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34 Ibico likara nlah, ukaala litang kieo, ishino nanya tikonu, iso anan naggan kiti likum, ita a soja amara ico.
quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, proved valiant in warfare, and routed armies of aliens.
35 Awani ba seru abbi nalenge na iba fiu nani, among iwati nani ineo, na iwa yinin ibunku nani ba, bara inan se ufitu nanya nkul ucine,
Woman received their dear ones alive from the dead; and others were broken on the wheel, not accepting the offered deliverance, in order that they might obtain a better resurrection.
36 Kagisine wa neo nin ba'a nan ngbizu, eh nin ninyeng nan licin.
Others again bore trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, even of chains and imprisonment.
37 Iwa filisu nani nin natala, iwuco nani, asari aba, iwa kalizu nami ata nin kusangali, itunna ngalu nin nakpa nakam, nan niyin, iwa so hem, imono nani nanzang.
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tempted, they were slain with the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, persecuted, tormented -
38 Bara inughe na uyee was caun nani ba, ngalu nanya kusho, nan nakup, a ataii, nan nagbongbon kuteen.
of whom the world was not worthy - wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.
39 Vat nani Kutelle wa yinin nin nighinu, bara uyinu sa uyenu mine, na iwa seru imon ile na iwa su nani alikawale ba.
Yet, though these all had witness borne to them by their faith, they received not the promise;
40 Kutelle se nani imomon dedei, ile imon na ikatin kiti bete, nanya noru sa arike, na iwa yitu lau ba.
since it was for us that God had in store some better thing, so that apart from us they should not be perfected.
