< Hebrews 11 >

1 And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters not seen a conviction,
Henu imani ndo hakika j'haajhe najhu munu bhwakati pailonda khenu fulani kwa bhujasiri.
2 for in this were the elders testified of;
Ndo hakika jha khenu ambakyo kakona kubhonekana. Kwandabha ejhe bhakhokho bhitu bhathibitiki kwa imani jha bhene.
3 by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come out of things appearing; (aiōn g165)
Kwa imani tumanyili kujha ulimwengu bhwabhombiki kwa amri jha K'yara, ili kujha khila kyakibhonekana kyatengenesibhu lepi kufwatana ni fenu ambafyo fibhonekeneghe. (aiōn g165)
4 by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth yet speak.
Jhajhele kwa ndabha jha imani kujha Habili ampisili K'yara sadaka jhajhilondeka kuliko kya abhombili Kaini. Jhajhele kwa ndabha ejhe kujha atufibhu kujha ndo jhajhele ni haki. K'yara an'tufisi kwandabha jha zawadi syaaletili. Kwandabha ejhu, Habili bado ijobha, ingabhwa afuili.
5 By faith Enoch was translated — not to see death, and was not found, because God did translate him; for before his translation he had been testified to — that he had pleased God well,
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Enoko atolibhu kunani na abhwene lepi mauti. “Abhonekenelepi, kwandabha K'yara an'tolili” kwa fela jhajobhibhu panani pa muene kujha ampendisi K'yara kabla jha kutolibhwa kunani.
6 and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is, and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder.
Bila imani jhibhwesekanalepi kumpendesya K'yara, kwa kujha jhaakumanyisya kwa K'yara lazima akierajhi kujha K'yara itama ni kabhele akabhapela zawadi bhala bhabhakan'kesya.
7 By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became heir.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Nuhu, ajhele aonyibhu ni K'yara kuhusiana ni mambo ambagho ghabhonekene lepi, kwa litengu lya ki K'yara atengenisi safina kwandabha jha kujhiokola familia jha muene. Kwa kubhomba naha, abhuhukumuili bhulimwengu ni kujha mrithi bhwa haki ambajho jhihida kup'ete'ela imani.
8 By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu, bho akutibhu ajhedekili ni kulota mahali ambapo alondekegha kujhamb'el'ela kama bhurithi. Ahomili bila kumanya mahali paloki pa aloteghe.
9 by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise,
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha atamili mu nchi jha ahadi kama n'hesya. Atamili mu mahema pamonga ni Isaka ni Yakobo, bharithi bhajhi ni bha ahadi jhelajhela.
10 for he was looking for the city having the foundations, whose artificer and constructor [is] God.
Ejhe kwandabha ategemeleghe kukabha mji ambabho n'kolo kuubuni ni njengaji ghwa muene ngaajhele K'yara.
11 By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did judge Him faithful who did promise;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu, ni Sara muene bhapokili nghofu jha kutonga mimba ingabhwa bhajhele bhaseya nesu kwa ndabha bhambwene K'yara kujha mwaminifu, ambajhe abhaahadili muana n'gosi.
12 wherefore, also from one were begotten — and that of one who had become dead — as the stars of the heaven in multitude, and as sand that [is] by the sea-shore — the innumerable.
Henu kabhele kuhoma kwa munu ojhu mmonga ambajhe akaribileghe kufwa bhakahogoleka bhana bhabhabhalangiki lepi. Bhajhele bhamehele kama matondo gha nani na bhamehele kama mbeyu sya n'sanga mu ndema bhwa bahari.
13 In faith died all these, not having received the promises, but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and sojourners they are upon the earth,
Abho bhoha bhafuili mu imani bila kupokela hadi jhejhioha jhela. Isipokujha, bhakajha bhasibhwene ni kusihegelela kwa patali, bhajhedekili kujha bhajhele bhahesya ni bhap'eta njela panani pa nchi.
14 for those saying such things make manifest that they seek a country;
Kwa bhala bhabhijobha mambo kama agha bhibheka bayana kujha bhilonda nchi jha bhene.
15 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
Bhukweli, kama ngabhajhele bhifikilila nchi ambajho bhahomili, ngabhajhele ni nafasi jha kukerebhuka.
16 but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.
Lakini kama kyajhijhele, bhinoghela nchi jhajhijhele kinofu, ambajho ndo jha kumbinguni. Henu K'yara ibhonalepi soni kukutibhwa K'yara ghwa bhene, kwa kujha bhatayarisi mji kwandabha jha bhene.
17 By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the promises,
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Ibrahimu baada jha kujaribibhwa, ambosili Isaka. Ndo muene ambajhe ajhijhopelili kwa kuhobhokela ahadi, ambosili mwana munu ghwa pekee,
18 of whom it was said — 'In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
ambajhee panani pa muene jhajobhibhu, “Kuhoma kwa Isaka uzao bhwa bhebhe wibetakutibhwa.”
19 reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him].
Ibrahimu amanyili kujha K'yara ajhele ni bhuwesu bhwa kumfufula Isaka kuhoma kwa bhafu ni kulongela kwa lugha jha maumbo, an'njambelili.
20 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob and Esau;
Jhajhele kwa imani ni kujha Isaka ambariki Yakobo ni Esau kuhusu mambo ghaghihida.
21 by faith Jacob dying — each of the sons of Joseph did bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff;
Jhajhele kwa imani tu Yakobo bhoajhele mu hali jha kufwa, ambariki khila mmonga ghwa bhana bha Yusufu. Yakobo aabuduili, ajheghemili panani pa ndonga jha muene.
22 by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did give command.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Yusufu bhwakati bhwa muene bhwa mwishu bhoakaribili, ajobhili juu jha kubhoka kwa bhana bha Israeli Misri ni kubhalaghisya kutola pamonga ni mifupa ghya muene.
23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not afraid of the decree of the king;
Jjhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa, bho ahogoliki, afighibhu kwa miesi midatu ni bhazazi bha muene kwa ndabha bhambwene kujha ndo muana n'debe jha ajhele n'nofu, na bhatishiki lepi ni amri jha mfalme.
24 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa paibeta kujha munu mzima, abelili kukutibhwa muana ghwa mwali Farao.
25 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season,
Badala jhiake, ahaguili kushiriki malombosi pamonga ni bhanu bha K'yara badala jha kuhobhokela anasa sya dhambi lukhombi.
26 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense of reward;
Afikilileghe soni jha kun'kesya Kristu kujha ndo utajiri mbaha kuliko hazina sya Misri kwa ndabha akasisi mihu gha muene mu zawadi sya wakati bhwa muene bhwawihida.
27 by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One — he endured;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Musa abhokili Misri. Atililepi ligoga lya mfalme, kwa kujha asindemela kwa kulanga kwa jhaabhonekeneghe lepi.
28 by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not touch them.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha ajhikamuili pasaka ni kunyunyizila damu, illi kwamba wiharibiajhi bhwa jhaahogoliki bhwa kubhuandu asibhuasi kubhakamula bhahogolanu bhakubhuandu bha kigosi bha Israeli.
29 By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were swallowed up;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha bhibetakulobhoka mu bahari jha shamu kama pandema. Bho bhamisri bhikitanga kulobhoka, bhajhibhisibhu.
30 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been surrounded for seven days;
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha lubhomba lwa Yeriko bhwabinili pasi, baada jha kubhusyongoka kwa magono saba.
31 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who disbelieved, having received the spies with peace.
Jhajhele kwa imani kujha Rahabu kahaba jhola ajhangamililepi pamonga ni bhala ambabho bhajhelepi bhatiifu, kwandabha ajhele abhapokili bhapelelezi ni kubhabheka panofu.
32 And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah, David also, and Samuel, and the prophets,
Na nijobhayi kiki nesu? Ndabha muda bhwitosya lepi kupanga gha Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samweli ni sya manabii,
33 who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions,
ambabho kup'et'ela imani bhasitobhisi falme, bhabhombi haki, na bhajhambelili ahadi. Bhafidendili misingi ghya simba,
34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens.
bhasimisi nghofu sya muoto, bhajhepili ncha jha bhupanga bhaponyesibhu kuhoma mu matamu, bhajhele mashujaa mu ngondo, na bhasababisi majeshi mahesya kukhambela.
35 Women received by a rising again their dead, and others were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better rising again they might receive,
Bhadala bhajhambelili bhafu bhabhene kwa njela jha bhufufuo. Bhamana bhatesibhu, bila kujhendekela kulekibhwa huru ili kwamba bhabhwesiajhi kukabha bhuzoefu nesu.
36 and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial, and yet of bonds and imprisonment;
Bhamana bhatesibhu kwa kujimulibhwa ni kutobhibhwa, naam, hata bhamana kufungibhwa ni kusopibhwa mu magereza.
37 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried; in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins — being destitute, afflicted, injuriously treated,
Bhatumalibhu maganga. Bhadumulibhu fipandi kwa misumenu. Bhakhomibhu kwa bhupanga. Bhalotili kwa ngosi sya likondoo ni ngosi sya mene bhajhele bhahitaji, bhajhendelili mu maumifu ni kukhetibhwa mabhibhi
38 of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering, and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the earth;
(ambagho ulimwengu ulondekeghelepi kujha naghu), bhalolod'ek'eghe mu nyika, fidonda, mu mapango ni mumal'ende gha bhud'opi.
39 and these all, having been testified to through the faith, did not receive the promise,
Ingabhwa bhanu bhoha abha bhajhedekelibhu ni K'yara kwandabha jha imani jha bhene, bhajhamb'elili lepi kya bhaahidibhu.
40 God for us something better having provided, that apart from us they might not be made perfect.
K'yara alongolili kutup'ela khenu kya kuj'hele bora, ili kwamba bila tete ngabhabhwesilepi kukamilisibhwa.
