Hebrews 11
1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.
Nambeambe imani yabile nga hakika yabile nayo mundu muda atarajia kilebe pulani kwa ujasiri. Ni hakika ya kilebe chabile bado bonekaniya.
2 For by this, the elders obtained approval.
Kwa mana yee apindo bitu batithibitika kwa imani yabe.
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 imani twatifahamu kwamba ulimwengu waumbilwe kwa amri ya Nnongo, ili kwamba chelo chatibonekaniya chatitengenezwa kwaa bonekana ni ilebe ambayo yabile yatibonekana. (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.
Ibile kwa mana ya imani kuwa Habili atikumtolea Nnongo sadaka ya kufaa kuliko kagapanga Kaini. Yaibile ni kwa mana yee atikusifiwa kuba mwene haki. Nnongo atikumsifu kwa mana ya zawadi yailetike. Kwa mana yoo, Habili bado abaya, ingawa atiwaa.
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.
Yaibile kwa imani kuba Enoko apotwilwe nnani na abonike kwaa kiwo.”Abonekine kwaa, kwa mana Nnongo atikuntola” kwa mana yabayilwe nnani yake kuba atikumpendeza Nnongo kabla ya kuntola kunani.
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.
Ntopo imani yatiwezekana kwaa kumpendeza Nnongo, kwa mana ywaisa kwa Nnongo lazima aaminiye kuba Nnongo abile nkoti ni huapatia zawadi balo bankengamite.
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.
Yabile kwa imani kuba Nuhu, abile akanyilwe ni Nnongo husiana na makowe ambago yaibile kwaa yatibonekine kwa heshima ya Nnongo kachuchengya safina kwaajili ya kulopwa familia yake. Kwa kupanga yee, atikuihukumu dunia ni kuba mrithi ba haki yaisa petya imani.

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.
Yabile ni kwa imani panga Ibrahimu, na Sara mwene, wapokii ngupu ya tunga ndumbo ingawa babile apindo muno, kwa mana wamweni Nnongo kuwa mwaminifu, ywabile atiwaahidia mwana nnalome.
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.
Kwa eyo kae boka kwa mundu yolo yumo ywaabile atikaribia kiwo batibelekwa bana babalangika kwaa. Babile banyansima kati itobdo za kumaunde kati mbeyu ya mchanga katika fukwe ga bahari.
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.
Aba bote bawile katika imani bila pokya ahadi, ila, babile baibweni ni kuikaribisha kwa kutalu, batibaya panga babile ageni na apitaji nnani ya nnema,
14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.
Kwa balo balongela makowe kati aga babekite bayana kuwa waipala nchi yabe bene.
15 If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.
Kwa kweli, kati babile bakiiwaza nchi ambayo babokite, babile na nafasi ya kerebuka.
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.
Lakini kati ya ibile, batamaniya nnema waubile bora, ambayo, ni ya kumaunde. Kwa eyo Nnongo abweni kwaa kiya kemelwa Nnongo wabe, kwa mana atiutayarisha nnema kwaajili yabe.

18 to whom it was said, “Your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac,”
ambaye nnani yake atilongelwa, “Boka kwa Isaka ubeleki wako walowa kemelwa.”
19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

Badala yake, achawa shiriki mateso pamope ni bandu ba Nnongo badala ya puraika ni anasa za sambi kwa muda nchunu.
26 considering the reproach of the Messiah greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

Nibaye namani zaidi? Mana muda utosha kwaa longela ga Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samweli na manabii,
33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
