Ibroota 11
1 Amantiin waan abdannu tokko dhugumaan ni taʼa jennee fudhachuu dha; waan ijaan hin argine tokko immoo qabatamaadha jennee heduu dha.
Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not apparent.
2 Jaarsoliifis kanaan dhugaa baʼameetii.
For this reason, the ancients were given testimony.
3 Addunyaawwan akka ajaja Waaqaatiin uumaman, wanni mulʼatus akka waan mulʼatu irraa hin hojjetamin nu amantiidhaan hubanna. (aiōn g165)
By faith, we understand the world to be fashioned by the Word of God, so that the visible might be made by the invisible. (aiōn g165)
4 Abeel amantiidhaan aarsaa isa Qaayin dhiʼeesse caalu Waaqaaf dhiʼeesse. Inni yommuu Waaqni waaʼee kennaa isaa dhugaa baʼameefitti nama qajeelaa taʼuun isaa amantiidhaan dhugaa baʼameef. Abeel duʼu iyyuu hamma ammaatti amantiidhaan dubbachaa jira.
By faith, Abel offered to God a much better sacrifice than that of Cain, through which he obtained testimony that he was just, in that God offered testimony to his gifts. And through that sacrifice, he still speaks to us, though he is dead.
5 Henook akka duʼa hin argineef amantiidhaan fudhatame; waan Waaqni isa fudhateef inni hin argamne. Inni utuu hin fudhatamin dura akka nama Waaqa gammachiiseetti dhugaa baʼameefii tureetii.
By faith, Enoch was transferred, so that he would not see death, and he was not found because God had transferred him. For before he was transferred, he had testimony that he pleased God.
6 Amantiidhaan malee Waaqa gammachiisuun hin dandaʼamu; sababiin isaas namni gara isaa dhufu kam iyyuu akka inni jiruu fi akka inni warra isa barbaadaniif gatii kennu amanuu qaba.
But without faith, it is impossible to please God. For whoever approaches God must believe that he exists, and that he rewards those who seek him.
7 Nohi waaʼee waan amma illee ijaan hin argaminii Waaqni isa akeekkachiifnaan sodaatee warra mana isaa jiraatan oolfachuuf jedhee amantiin doonii tolche. Amantii isaatiinis addunyaatti mure; dhaaltu qajeelummaa amantiin argamuus taʼe.
By faith, Noah, having accepted an answer about those things which were not yet seen, being afraid, fashioned an ark for the salvation of his house. Through the ark, he condemned the world, and was established as the heir of the justice that occurs through faith.
8 Abrahaam gara iddoo dhaaluuf jiruu akka dhaqu yommuu waamametti, amantiidhaan ajajame; eessa akka dhaqu iyyuu utuu hin beekin kaʼee deeme.
By faith, the one called Abraham obeyed, going out to the place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
9 Innis akka keessummaa biyya ormaa jiruutti biyya isaaf waadaa galame sana keessa amantiidhaan qubate; akkuma warra isa wajjin waadaadhuma sana dhaalan, akkuma Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoob dunkaana keessa jiraate.
By faith, he stayed in the Land of the Promise as if in a foreign land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise.
10 Inni magaalaa hundee qabdu kan Waaqni ijaaree fi tolche eeggachaa tureetii.
For he was awaiting a city having firm foundations, whose designer and builder is God.
11 Saaraan yoo umurii daʼumsaa dabartee, dhabduu turte illee isheen waan Waaqa waadaa isheef gale sana amanamaa gootee fudhatteef, amantiidhaan mucaa daʼu dandeesse.
By faith also, Sarah herself, being barren, received the ability to conceive offspring, even though she was past that age in life. For she believed him to be faithful, who had promised.
12 Kanaaf namicha akka waan duʼeetti ilaalamu tokkicha kana irraa sanyiin akka urjii samii baayʼattuu fi akka cirracha qarqara galaanaa kan hin lakkaaʼamne dhalate.
Because of this, there were also born, from one who himself was as if dead, a multitude like the stars of heaven, who are, like the sand of the seashore, innumerable.
13 Namoonni kunneen hundinuu utuu waan waadaa galameef sana hin argatin amantii isaanii immoo utuu hin dhiisin duʼan. Waadaa sanas fagootti ilaalanii simatan. Isaanis lafa irratti akka keessummootaa fi godaantota turan beekaniiru.
All of these passed away, adhering to faith, not having received the promises, yet beholding them from afar and saluting them, and confessing themselves to be sojourners and guests upon the earth.
14 Warri waan akkasii jedhan kunneen akka biyya ofii isaanii eeggachaa jiran mulʼisu.
For those who speak in this way are themselves indicating that they seek a homeland.
15 Isaan utuu waaʼee biyya keessaa baʼan sanaa yaadaa turanii silaa, biyya isaaniitti deebiʼuuf carraa ni argatu turan.
And if, indeed, they had been mindful of the very place from which they departed, they certainly would have returned in time.
16 Qooda kanaa isaan biyya wayyu tokko jechuunis biyya samii irraa sana hawwaa turan. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii jedhamee waamamuutti hin qaanaʼu; inni magaalaa isaaniif qopheesseeraatii.
But now they hunger for a better place, that is, Heaven. For this reason, God is not ashamed to be called their God. For he has prepared a city for them.
17 Abrahaam yeroo Waaqni isa qoretti amantiidhaan Yisihaaqin aarsaadhaaf dhiʼeesse. Isuma waadaa argate sanatu ilma isaa tokkicha aarsaa godhee dhiʼeessuuf qophaaʼe;
By faith, Abraham, when he was tested, offered Isaac, so that he who had received the promises was offering up his only son.
18 innis isuma Waaqni, “Sanyiin kee Yisihaaqiin siif waamama” jedheen sana.
To him, it was said, “Through Isaac, shall your offspring be summoned,”
19 Abrahaam akka Waaqni warra duʼan keessaa nama kaasuu dandaʼu illee hubatee ture; kunis karaa tokkoon inni ilma isaa Yisihaaqin warra duʼan keessaa deebisee argate jechuu dha.
indicating that God is even able to raise up from the dead. And thus, he also established him as a parable.

By faith, also, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, concerning future events.
21 Yaaqoob yeroo duʼetti amantiidhaan ilmaan Yoosef tokko tokkoon eebbise; mataa ulee isaatti irkatees sagade.
By faith, Jacob, as he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and he reverenced the summit of his rod.
22 Yoosefis yeroo duʼetti amantiidhaan waaʼee Gibxi keessaa baʼuu ijoollee Israaʼel dubbate; waaʼee lafee isaas ajaja kenne.
By faith, Joseph, as he was dying, recalled the departure of the sons of Israel, and gave a commandment concerning his bones.

24 Museen yeroo guddatetti ilma intala Faraʼoon jedhamee waamamuu amantiidhaan dide.
By faith, Moses, after growing up, denied himself a place as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
25 Inni gammachuu cubbuutiin yeroo gabaabaaf gammaduu irra saba Waaqaa wajjin dhiphachuu filate.
choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, rather than to have the pleasantness of sin for a time,
26 Inni waan badhaasa isaa of duratti ilaaleef, Kiristoosiif jedhee salphachuu akka qabeenya Gibxi caalaa gatii guddaa qabuutti fudhate.
valuing the reproach of Christ to be a greater wealth than the treasures of the Egyptians. For he looked forward to his reward.
27 Innis utuu dheekkamsa mootichaa hin sodaatin amantiidhaan Gibxi keessaa baʼe; isa hin mulʼanne sana akka waan argeetti obsee eeggate.
By faith, he abandoned Egypt, not dreading the animosity of the king. For he pressed on, as if seeing him who is unseen.
28 Akka ergamaan hangafa ajjeesu sun hangafoota saba Israaʼel hin tuqneefis amantiidhaan akka Faasiikaan ayyaaneffamu, dhiignis akka facaafamu godhe.
By faith, he celebrated the Passover and the shedding of the blood, so that he who destroyed the firstborn might not touch them.
29 Sabni Israaʼel akkuma nama lafa gogaa irra deemuutti amantiin Galaana Diimaa ceʼe; warri Gibxi garuu yommuu akkuma sanatti ceʼuu yaalanitti ni liqimfaman.
By faith, they crossed the Red Sea, as if on dry land, yet when the Egyptians attempted it, they were swallowed up.

By faith, Rahab, the harlot, did not perish with the unbelievers, after receiving the spies with peace.
32 Ani egaa kana caalaa maalin jedha ree? Waaʼee Gedewoon, waaʼee Baaraq, waaʼee Saamsoon, waaʼee Yiftaa, waaʼee Daawit, waaʼee Saamuʼeelii fi waaʼee raajotaa odeessuuf ani yeroo hin qabu;
And what should I say next? For time is not sufficient for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the Prophets:
33 isaan amantiidhaan mootummoota moʼatan; murtii qajeelaa kennan; waan waadaa galame argatan; afaan leencotaa cufan;
those who, by faith, conquered kingdoms, accomplished justice, obtained promises, closed the mouths of lions,
34 amantiidhaan ibidda jabaa dhaamsan; qara goraadee jalaa baʼan; dadhabbiin isaanii jabinatti geeddarame; waraana keessatti humna argatanii loltoota diinaa ariʼan.

35 Dubartoonnis namoonni isaanii kanneen duʼan duʼaa kaafamaniifii deebisanii fudhatan. Warri kaanis duʼaa kaʼuu wayyu argachuuf jedhanii gad dhiifamuu didanii dhiphatan.
Women received their dead by means of resurrection. But others suffered severe punishment, not yet receiving redemption, so that they would find a better resurrection.
36 Warra kaanitti ni qoosame; ni garafamanis; akkasumas foncaan hidhamanii mana hidhaatti darbataman.
Truly, others were tested by mocking and lashes, and moreover by chains and imprisonment.
37 Dhagaadhaanis ni tumaman; iddoo lamatti baqaqfaman; goraadeedhaan ajjeefaman. Deeguudhaan, ariʼatamuu fi dhiphachuudhaan gogaa hoolotaatii fi reʼootaa uffatanii jooran;
They were stoned; they were cut; they were tempted. With the slaughter of the sword, they were killed. They wandered about in sheepskin and in goatskin, in dire need, in anguish afflicted.

Of them, the world was not worthy, wandering in solitude on mountains, in the caves and caverns of the earth.

And all these, having been proven by the testimony of faith, did not receive the Promise.

God’s Providence holds something better for us, so that not without us would they be perfected.
