Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Lino lusyomo nkuba akasimpe kazintu zilangilidwe alimwi abwini bwazintu zitaboneko.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Aboobo nkaambo kacheechi basikale bakatambulika nkaambo kalusyomo lwabo.
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)
Kwiinda mulusyomo tumvwisisya kuti nyika yakalengwa akulayilila kwaLez, kutondezya kuti iziboneka tezyakalengwa kuzwa kuzintu zyakali kuboneka. (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.
Nkaambo kalusyomo Abbelu wakapa Leza chipayizyo chibotu kwiinda cha Keyini, nkakasunkwa aacho kukuba mululami alimwi Leza wakambula kabotu aatala anguwe nkaambo kazipayizyo zyakwe, alimwi kwiinda mulusyomo Abbelu uchambuula nikuba kuti ulifwide.

Nkaambo kalusyomo Inoki wakatolwa biyo kujulu katabwene lufu. “Taakajanika nkaambo Leza wakamubweza.” Awo katana tolw, kwakaba bukmaboni bwakuti wakali wabotezya Leza.
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.

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.

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.
Ndusyomo lwakachita kuti akale munyika yechisyomezyo mbuli muzwa kule. Wakakala mumatente antoomwe aAyizeki aJekkobbu, basimulyazinanyina kuchisyomezyo chomwe biyo.
10 For he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

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.
Mulusyomo - alimwi Sala lwakwe wakali ngomwa wakatambula kukonzya kumita mwana mubuchembele bwakwe, mukubona kasyomekede oyo wakapa chisyomezyo. Kulimubuzyo wakutii lwakali lusyomo lwaAbbulahamu na kana lwaSala lwakali kuboneka awa.

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.
Chakali mulusyomo kuti boons aaba bakafwa kabatatambwide zisyomezyo. Muchiindi eecho, nibaka ibona akuzi juzya kazili kule, bakazumina kuti bakali banasinakooma munyika.
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Kuli aabo baamba zintu ziliboobu babika antaanganana kuti bayandula nyika yakukala.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Nikwali kuti bakali kuyeeya nyika njibakazwa kulinjiyo bali kunoowujana mweenya wakubweeda.
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.

Ezi zyakambilwa Abbulahamu, “mazyalane aako ayowuzikwa kwindila muli Ayizeki”
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

40 God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.
