4 H aabiil rumaysad ayuu Ilaah ugu bixiyey allabari aad uga wanaagsan kii Qaabiil, sidaas daraaddeed waxaa loogu markhaati furay inuu xaq yahay, Ilaahna waa ka markhaati furay hadiyadihiisii. Saas daraaddeed isagoo dhintay ayuu weli hadlaa.

Because Abel had faith, he gave a better gift in worship to God than Cain. His gift pleased God. Abel was right with God. Abel died, but by faith he is still speaking to us.

5 E noog rumaysad baa kor loogu qaaday si uusan dhimasho u arag, lamana helin, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa isagii qaaday, waayo, intaan kor loo qaadin ka hor ayaa markhaati loo furay inuu Ilaah ka farxiyey.

Because Enoch had faith, he was taken up from the earth without dying. He could not be found because God had taken him. The Holy Writings tell how he pleased God before he was taken up.

11 S aarah qudheedu rumaysad bay ku heshay xoog ay ku uuraysato, oo iyadoo dhaaftay wakhtigii dhalmada ayay dhashay, waayo, waxay ku tirisay ku aamin ah kii u ballanqaaday.

These people all died having faith in God. They did not receive what God had promised to them. But they could see far ahead to all the things God promised and they were glad for them. They knew they were strangers here. This earth was not their home.

14 W aayo, kuwa waxyaalahan oo kale yidhaahdaa waxay muujiyaan inay doondoonayaan waddan kooda ah.

People who say these things show they are looking for a country of their own.

15 O o hadday xusuusnaayeen waddankii ay ka baxeen way heli lahaayeen wakhti ay ku noqdaan.

They did not think about the country they had come from. If they had, they might have gone back.

16 L aakiin imminka waxay aad u doonayaan waddan ka wanaagsan oo ah jannada, sidaas daraaddeed Ilaah ka xishoon maayo in loogu yeedho Ilaahood, waayo, wuxuu iyaga u diyaariyey magaalo.

But they wanted a better country. And so God is not ashamed to be called their God. He has made a city for them.

God had said to Abraham, “Your family will come from Isaac.”

19 W uxuu ku tirinayay in Ilaah ka kicin karo xataa kuwii dhintay; oo sida masaal oo kale ayuu isagii uga helay kuwii dhintay.

Abraham believed God was able to bring Isaac back to life again. And so it may be said that Abraham did receive him back from death.
