Abhaebrania 11
1 Woli elikilisha nikubha nechimali chinu anacho omunu omwanya gunu katendesha echinu chilebhe kwo kwisigilila. Nichimali che bhinu bhinu bhichali kubhonekana.
But faith is the confidence of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
2 Kwa insonga inu bhajaji bheswe bhabhonekene ku lwelikilisha lyebhwe.
For by it the elders receive the witness of the Spirit.
3 Kwe likilisha echimenya ati echalo chamogelwe kwe chigambo cha Nyamuanga, koleleki chinu echibhonekana chitakolelwe ne chinu chinu chaliga nchibhonekana. (aiōn g165)
By faith we understand that the worlds were created by the word of God, and that which was seen was not made from things which are manifest. (aiōn g165)
4 Jabhee kwa insonga ye likisha ati Habili amusosisishe Nyamuanga ebhiyanwa bhinu bhyaliga bhiile okukila Kaini. Yabhee kwa insonga inu ati akuyibhwe kubha mulengelesi. Nyamuanga amukuyishe kulwainsonga ya bhinu asosishe. Kwa insonga eyo, Habili achali naloma, nolo kutyo afuye.
By faith Abel offered up to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he received the witness that he was righteous, God witnessing to his gifts: and through it he having died is still speaking.
5 Jabhee kwe likilisha ati Enoko agegelwe ingulu na atabhonekene na lufu. “Atabhonekene, kwa insonga Nyamuanga amugegele” kwa insonga jaikilwe ingulu yae ati amukondelesishe Nyamuanga achali kugegwa okuja ingulu.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and he was not found because God translated him. For before he was translated he had the witness of the Spirit, that he pleased God:
6 Jakabhee kutalio kwikilisha itakutulikana kumukondelesha Nyamuanga, kulwokubha unu kaja ku Nyamuanga nibhusibhusi ekilishe ati Nyamuanga alamile nati kabhayana ebhiyanwa bhanu abhamuyenja.
but without faith it is impossible to please him: for it behooves the one coming unto God to believe that he is, and he is a rewarder unto them who seek him out.
7 Yabhee kwe likilisha ati Nuhu, abhee aganyibhwe na Nyamuanga okulubhana na magambo ganu galiga gachali kubhonekana, kwe chibhalo che Nyamuanga akolele isafina koleleki akishe olwibhulo lwae. Kwo kukola kutyo, alamuye echalo nabha muli wo mwandu gwo bhulengelesi bhunu obhuja ingulu yo kwikilisha.
By faith Noah, being warned concerning things not yet seen, being moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his family; by which he condemned the world, and became heir to the righteousness which is according to faith.
8 Kulwa likilisha, Ibraimu ejile abhilikilwa, nekilisha nagenda muchalo chinu chaliga chili mwandu gwaye. Afulukile obhutamenya eyo ajaga.
By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place which he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and went out, not knowing whither he goes.
9 Kulwa likilisha nekala muchalo cho omulago ali mugenyiNekala mumauna Ali na Isaka na Yakobo, abhali bho omwandu guliya.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as a strange country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise:
10 Kulwokubha aliga neikanya okubhona omusi gunu omumbaki wagwo ni Nyamuanga ala enyele.
for he anticipated a city having foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Jaliga jili kwe elikilisha, Ibraimu, na Sara omwene, bhalamiye amanaga ago kugega inda nolwo kutyo bhaliga bhakokoye muno, kulwokubha bhabhwene ati Nyamuanga niwe echimali, okubha aliga abhalagile omwana we echilume.
And by faith Sarah herself received power unto the conception of seed, even past the time of age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.
12 Kulwejo, okusokelela ku munu umwi oyo aliga alebheleye okufwa nibhebhulwa abhana about bhatakubhalwa. Bhaliga bhali bhafu lwa jinjota ja mulwile na bhafu Leo omusenyi gwa kumwalo.
Therefore indeed they were born of one, and those things of one having died, as the stars of heaven for multitude, and as the sands which are by the sea, which are innumerable.
13 Bhanu bhone bhafuye bhali mulikilisha bhatolele omulago. Nawe bhagubhwene guli kula, bhaliga bhamenyele ati ni bhatusi na bhagenyi muchalo echo.
These all died in the faith, not having received the promises, but seeing them afar off, and embracing them, and confessing that they are strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14 Kubhanu abheganilisha kutiyo abhatula abhwelu ati abhalonda echalo chebhwe.
For those speaking such things declare that they are seeking after a country of their own.
15 Bhachisanga bhacheganilisha echalo chinu bhasokele, bhakabhwene omwanya gwo okusubhayo.
If indeed they remember that country from which they came out, they would have had an opportunity to return;
16 Nawe kutyo jili abhenda echalo cha kisi kuti cha mulwile. Kulwejo Nyamuanga atakwiswala okubhilikilwa Nyamuanga webhwe, kulwokubha abhelabhiye omusi gwebhe.
but now they seek a better country, that is, a heavenly. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he has prepared for them a city.
17 Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Ibraimu ejile asakwa nasosya Isaka. Mbe chimali unu alamile omulago akondelewe, asosisye omwana waye nyagumwi,
By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac: and the one having received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18 Unu alomelewe ingulu yaye, “Olwibhulo lwao olutogwa okusoka kwa Isaka.”
in reference to whom it was said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19 Ibraimu aliga name ya ati Nyamuanga alimwelula Isaka okusoka mubhafu, na kwa inyaika ye eminapi namulamila.
considering that God is able to raise him from the dead; whence he also received him in a figure.
20 Kwa likilisha Isaka ayanile libando Yakobo na Esau ingulu ya amagambo ganu galija.
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21 Jaliga jili ati kwa likilisha Yakobo alebheleye okufwa nayana amabhando abhana bha Yusufu. Yakobo nalamya, neyegeka ku nsimbo yaye.
By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each one of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, on the hilt of his staff.
22 Kulikilisha Yusufu munsiku jaye jokumalisha aikiliye ingulu ya abhana bha Israeli okusokamo muchalo cha Misiri na nabhalagilila okugega amawa gaye.
By faith Joseph, dying, made mention concerning the exodus of the children of Israel; and commanded concerning his own bones.
23 Kulikilisha, Musa ejie ebhulwa, abhebhusi bhaye nibhamuseleka kulwokubha aliga ali mwana mulela akondele, ka bhatobhayile ichilagilo cho omukama.
By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child; and did not fear the commandment of the king.
24 Kulikilisha Musa ejile akula nalema okubhilikilwa omwana wo omuasha wa Farao.
By faith Moses, having become an adult, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
25 Nekilisha okubha mugaya lwa abhanu bha Nyamuanga, nasiga okwikondelesha mubhibhi kwo omwanya mufui.
choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season;
26 Eganilisishe jinswalo jo okulubha Kristo bhubhe bhunibhi bhunene okukila ebhiyanwa bhya Misiri kulwokubha atunuye ameso gaye ku chiyanwa cho omwanya gwaye gunu oguja.
esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt: for he was looking unto the recompense of reward.
27 Kulwejo elikilisha asokelemo muchalo cha Misiri. Atobhaile ubhululu bhwa omukama Farao, kulwokubha ekomesishe neikanya okubhonana na unu aliga atakubhonekana.
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he went out, as seeing the invisible one.
28 Kulwe elikilisha agwatiliye Ipasaka no kusamulila amanyinga, koleleki omwiti wo omwibhulwa wokwamba, atagwatako abhebhulwa bhokwamba abhechilume abhe Echisraeli.
By faith he instituted the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, in order that the one destroying the first-born might not touch them.
29 Kulwe elikilisha bhalabhile agati ya inyanja ya Shamu lwakutyo abhatula muchalo chinu chumile. Abhamisiri bhejile bhalegeja okutulamo, nibhamilwa.
By faith they pass through the Red sea as through dry land: the undertaking of which the Egyptians having entered upon were drowned.
30 Kulwe elikilisha olugo lwe echikale cha Yeriko lwaguye ansi, bhejile bhamala okugwiinda ngendo musanju.
By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encompassed about seven days,
31 Kulwe elikilisha Rahabu uliya omusimbe wa muchilabho atasingalikile amwi na bhanyantongwa, kulwokubha alamiye abhapeleleji nabhabhika kisi.
By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, having received the spies with peace.
32 Naikeki okukila kutyo? Kulwokubha omwanya gutakwiya okusimula aga Gideoni, Barak, Samsoni, Yeftha, Daudi, Samwel ne ja bhalagi,
And what do I yet say? time will fail me relating concerning Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, and David, and Samuel, and the prophets:
33 bhanu okulabha ku likilisha bhasingile amakama, bhakolele obhulengelesi, na bhalamiye omulago. Bhaganyishe eminwa ja jintale,
who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness,
34 bhasimishe amanaga go mulilo, bhebhejishe insonde ya imalo, bhaosibhwe amalwaye, bhaiga bhali bhakaka mubhulemo, na bhakolele ebhiijo bhya abhasilikale okusoka anja ye chalo chebhwe nibhibhilima.
obtained promises, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness became filled up with dynamite, became mighty in war, put to flight the armies of the aliens:
35 Abhagasi bhalamiye abhafuye bhebhwe munjila yo bhusuluko.
women receive their dead from a resurrection: some were tortured, not accepting deliverance; in order that they might receive a better resurrection:
36 Abhandi bhanyansibhwe, obhutekilisibhwa okusigwa nibhetanya koleleki bhabhone okubhona obhusuluko bhunu bhuli bhwakisi muno. Abhandi bhanyansibhwe kwo kujimibhwa no kwokuchapwa, nakwokubhoywa nokutulwa mumabhoelo.
and others received the trial of scourgings and mockings, and still of bonds and imprisonment:
37 Bhabhumilwe na mabhui. Bhatemelwe bhiinju ne misumeno. Bhetilwe kwe bhigwato. Bhagendaga kwa jinjai ja jinyabhalega na jinjayi ja jimbusi bhaliga bhalibhakene, bhagendelee mubhusasi na bhakolewe kubhibhi
they were stoned, they were tempted, they were burnt, they died by the edge of the sword; they went about in sheepskins, in goatskins; being destitute, troubled, persecuted,
38 (ganu echalo chaliga chiteile okolelwa abho), nibhayengela yengela mwibhala, mubhima, na mumananga na mumobho ga ansi.
of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, and in mountains, and caves and dens of the earth.
39 Nolo kutyo abhanu bhona bhanu bhekilisibhwe na Nyamuanga kwainsonga ye likilisha lyebhwe, bhatalamiye chinu aliga alagile.
And all these, having received the witness of the spirit through faith, did not obtain the promise:
40 Nyamuanga elabhile okuchiyana echinu cho bhwana, koleleki atali eswe bhatakatulile kukumisibhwa.
God having reserved something better for us, that they might not be made perfect apart from us.
