Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.
1A hmuethma hmuh pawt hno dongah ngaikhueknah neh n'ngaiuep he ni tangnah la aka om coeng.
2This is why the ancients were commended.
2He nen ni a ham rhoek long khaw a phong uh.
3By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
3Hmuh mueh lamkah hmuh koi la coeng sak ham Pathen kah olka loh lunglai a tarhoek tila tangnah neh n'yakming uh.
4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous when God gave approval to his gifts. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.
4Tangnah neh Abel loh Kain lakah Pathen taengah hmueih muep a nawn. Te lamlong tah hlang dueng ni tila ana oep. Pathen kah a kutdoe te ana oep dongah aka duek long khaw tangnah neh a thui pueng.
5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
5Tangnah rhangneh dueknah te hmuh pawt ham Enok tah a thovael sak. Tedae Pathen loh a tholvael dongah anih te hmu voel pawh. Thovaelnah a om hlanah mah Pathen taengkah kolo neh ana oep coeng.
6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.
6Tedae tangnah mueh la kolo n'tong thai pawh. Pathen aka paan loh amah tah om tih amah aka tlap rhoek te taphu om tila a tangnah a kuek.
7By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.
7Noah loh a hmuh pawt te a mangthui vaengah a hinyah tih tangnah neh amah cako khangnah ham sangpho te a rhoekbah. Te nen te Diklai a boe sak tih tangnah neh duengnah rhopangkung la coeng.
8By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.
8Tangnah neh a khue vaengah rho la pang aka cai hmuen te paan ham Abraham loh a ngai. Te vaengah mela a caeh khaw a ming mueh lam ni a caeh.
9By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
9Tangnah neh hlanglang la olkhueh ram ah kuepkol. Olkhueh, amah hmuen aka pang Isaak neh Jakob khaw dap ah kho hmaih a sak uh.
10For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
10Te vaengah khoengim a khueh tangtae khopuei te ni a lamtawn. Pathen tah te khopuei kah kutthai neh rhaengpuei ham bibikung la om.
11By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.
11Cayaa Sarah amah long khaw a pumrho neh a tuetang kah a voelah a tiingan a tongnah ham thaomnah te tangnah neh a dang. Te khaw aka caeng te uepom la a poek dongah ni.
12And so from one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.
12Te dongah pakhat lamlong khaw muep thaang coeng.Aka duek he khaw vaan kah aisi yet la, tuili kaeng kah laivin bangla n'taetloel coeng.
13All these people died in faith, without having received the things they were promised. However, they saw them and welcomed them from afar. And they acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
13Amih rhoek boeih loh tangnah neh duek uh. Olkhueh te dang uh pawt dae a hla lamkah a dan uh tih a doe uh. Te phoeiah diklai ah yinlai neh lampah ni tila a phong uh.
14Now those who say such things show that they are seeking a country of their own.
14Tebang aka thui rhoek loh a tolrhum a ngaidam uh te a phoe uh.
15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
15Tedae te lamkah ha suntlak uh te poek uh ngawn koinih a voei uh tue khaw a khueh uh suidae.
16Instead, they were longing for a better country, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
16Tedae vaan ah a then ngai aka om te a ngaidam uh coeng. Te dongah amih loh Pathen te amamih kah Pathen la khue ham yak uh pawh. Amih ham kho pakhat a rhoekbah pah coeng.
17By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac on the altar. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his one and only son,
17Abraham te a noemcai vaengah tangnah neh Isaak te a nawn tih khueh duen aka nawn la olkhueh te a dang.
18even though God had said to him, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
18Anih ham te, “Nang kah tiingan te Isaak dongah a khue,” tila a thui.
19Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death.
19Pathen loh aka duek rhoek lamkah pataeng a thoh thai tila ana poek coeng. Te lamkah ni anih te nuettahnah lam khaw a dang.
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the future.
20Tangnah nen ni lo ham aka cai Jakob neh Esau kawng khaw Isaak loh a uem.
21By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.
21Tangnah neh Jakob loh a duek tom vaengah Joseph ca rhoek te rhip a uem tih a conghol soi ah a bawk.
22By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his bones.
22Tangnah nen ni Joseph loh a duek tom ah Israel ca rhoek kah sunglatnah kawng te a poek tih a rhuh kawng te a uen.
23By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after his birth, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were unafraid of the king’s edict.
23Tangnah nen ni Moses te a napa loh a thaang neh hla thum ana thuh. Camoe te sakthen la a hmuh uh vaengah manghai kah oltloek te rhih uh pawh.
24By faith Moses, when he was grown, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter.
24Tangnah nen ni Moses loh lungcuei la a om vaengah Pharaoh canu kah a capa a ti nah te a aal.
25He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.
25Kolkalh ham tholhnah neh omngaihbawnnah khueh lakah Pathen kah pilnam te patang puei ham lat a tuek.
26He valued disgrace for Christ above the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his reward.
26Taphu te a lamso dongah Khrih kah hnaelcoenah te Egypt kah khohrhang lakah khuehtawn tanglue la a poek.
27By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible.
27Tangnah neh Egypt a hnoo tih manghai kah thinsanah te rhih pawh. Hmuhmueh hmuh bangla a ueh.
28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
28Tangnah neh yoom neh thii haek te a saii. Te daengah ni camingomthang aka ngawn loh amih te a ben pawt pai eh.
29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.
29Tangnah neh Tuili Sen te lan long bangla phueihuet la a hlaikan uh. Te te dang ham aka cai Egypt rhoek tah buek uh.
30By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.
30Tangnah neh Jerikho pangbueng te hnin rhih khuiah a vael uh vaengah tim.
31By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies in peace, did not perish with those who were disobedient.
31Tangnah neh hlanghalh Rahab loh rhalyuep rhoek te ngaimong la a doe dongah ol aek rhoek taengah poci pawh.
32And what more shall I say? Time will not allow me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets,
32Te phoeiah balae ka thui pueng eh? Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David neh Samuel neh tonghma rhoek tue kah a kawng thui ham ka hlavawt pueng.
33who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
33Amih loh tangnah neh ram khaw a na, duengnah te a saii, olkhueh a pang, sathueng ka a buem uh.
34quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.
34Hmai kah thaomnah a thih, cunghang ha khaw a rhaelrham tak, thahnoeng lamkah a thaphoh, caem vaengah hlang tlung la coeng, hlanglang caem khaw a thup uh.
35Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused their release, so that they might gain a better resurrection.
35Thohkoepnah neh huta rhoek loh amamih kah aka duek tangtae te a dang uh. Tedae a ngen loh aka then ngai thohkoepnah dang ham tlannah te doe mueh la phaep uh.
36Still others endured mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment.
36A ngen tah tamdaengnah neh noemcainah nganboh a yook uh bueng kolla hloong neh thongim khaw a yook uh.
37They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they were put to death by the sword. They went around in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
37A dae uh, a ah uh, cunghang kah ngawnnah neh duek uh. A vawtthoek, patang palai la a hnaep uh. Tupho, maae pho neh poengdoe uh.
38The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and hid in caves and holes in the ground.
38Diklai tah amih neh a tiing la a om moenih. kohong ah, tlang ah, lungko ah, diklai khui ah poengdoe uh.
39These were all commended for their faith, yet they did not receive what was promised.
39Tedae amih tangnah neh aka phong boeih loh olkhueh te a dang uh moenih.
40God had planned something better for us, so that together with us they would be made perfect.
40Pathen kah a rhan te pakhat khaw mamih ham a then, daengah ni mamih pawt atah a rhuemtuet uh pawt eh.
