¹Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

¹Liman ɣer Ṛebbi, d lețkal nesɛa belli a ɣ-d-yaweḍ wayen i nețṛaǧu, ɣas ur t-nwala ara s wallen-nneɣ neẓra ț-țideț yella.

²For by this, the elders obtained testimony.

²Si zik wid i gɛeǧben i Sidi Ṛebbi, d wid yesɛan liman deg-s.

³By faith, we understand that the universe has been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen has not been made out of things which are visible.

³S liman i nefhem belli ddunit tețwaxleq s wawal n Ṛebbi ; ihi ayen nețwali yekka-d seg wayen ur nețwali ara.

⁴By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he had testimony given to him that he was righteous, God testifying with respect to his gifts; and through it he, being dead, still speaks.

⁴S liman i gqeddem Habil asfel i Sidi Ṛebbi axiṛ n wesfel n gma-s Kahin, ɣef ddemma n liman-ines Sidi Ṛebbi yeqbel asfel-ines yerna iḥseb-it d aḥeqqi ; daymi ɣas yemmut yeqqim-ed d lemtel ɣef liman.

⁵By faith, Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

⁵S liman, Hanux yețwarfed ɣer igenni mbla ma tɛedda fell-as lmut, iɣab ɣef wallen, ur d-iban ara axaṭer irfed-it Sidi Ṛebbi ɣuṛ-es. Uqbel ad yețwarfed yeẓra belli yeɛǧeb i Sidi Ṛebbi.

⁶Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

⁶Ihi, mbla liman d lmuḥal ad yeɛǧeb yiwen i Ṛebbi, axaṭer win ara iqeṛṛben ɣuṛ-es ilaq ad yamen belli yella yerna iqebbel-ed wid yețnadin fell-as.

⁷By faith, Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, or, reverence prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

⁷S liman, i gumen nnbi Nuḥ ayen i s-d-iweḥḥa Sidi Ṛebbi ɣef wayen ara yedṛun, ɣas akken mazal ur iwala acemma s wallen-is, yebna lbabuṛ iwakken ad isellek at wexxam-is. S wakka i gḥuseb at ddunit imi yuɣ awal i Sidi Ṛebbi, yuɣal d aḥeqqi ɣuṛ-es ɣef ddemma n liman yesɛa.

⁸By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.

⁸S liman i guɣ Ibṛahim awal i Sidi Ṛebbi mi s-d-yessawel ad iṛuḥ ɣer yiwet n tmurt ara s-yefk d lweṛt ; iṛuḥ ɣas akken ur yeẓri ara ɣer wanda ițeddu.

⁹By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise.

⁹S liman daɣen i gɛac am ubeṛṛani di tmurt i s-yewɛed Sidi Ṛebbi, yezdeɣ deg iqiḍunen am nețța am warraw-is Isḥaq akk-d Yeɛqub iweṛten yid-es ayen akken i s-yewɛed Sidi Ṛebbi.

¹⁰For he looked for the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

¹⁰Yețṛaǧu tamdint ibedden ɣef lsas iǧehden, tin akken yebna Sidi Ṛebbi s yiman-is.

¹¹By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.

¹¹S liman, ?ara tesɛa-d dderya ɣas akken ț-țiɛiqeṛt yerna meqqeṛt di leɛmeṛ, tumen belli win i s-yefkan lɛahed, ad iṭṭef deg wawal-is.

¹²Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

¹²Daymi seg yiwen wergaz iwumi kkawen ifadden teffeɣ-ed dderya s waṭas dderya n dderya-k ad ilin am yitran n igenni, am ṛṛmel yellan ɣef rrif n lebḥeṛ, ur yezmir yiwen a ten yeḥseb.

¹³These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen TR adds “and being convinced of” them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

¹³Di liman, i mmuten akk yemdanen-agi uqbel a ten-id-yaweḍ wayen i sen-yewɛed Sidi Ṛebbi, lameɛna walan-t si lebɛid feṛḥen yis yerna setɛeṛfen belli d ibeṛṛaniyen, d imsebriden di ddunit.

¹⁴For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a country of their own.

¹⁴Wid iheddṛen akka, iban țnadin tamurt i yiman-nsen.

¹⁵If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.

¹⁵Lemmer ndemmen imi ǧǧan tamurt-nsen tili uɣalen ɣuṛ-es,

¹⁶But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

¹⁶meɛna nutni țqelliben ɣef tmurt ifazen yeɛni tin n igenwan, daymi Sidi Ṛebbi ur issetḥa ara ad ițțusemmi d Illu-nsen axaṭer ihegga yasen tamurt.

¹⁷By faith, Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. Yes, he who had gladly received the promises was offering up his one and only son;

¹⁷S liman i gefka Ibṛahim mmi-s Isḥaq d asfel mi i t-ijeṛṛeb Sidi Ṛebbi, nețța iwumi d-țunefkent lemɛahdat, yeqbel ad yefk mmi-s awḥid d asfel,

¹⁸even he to whom it was said, “In Isaac will your seed be called”; Genesis 21:12

¹⁸nețța iwumi i d-yenna Sidi Ṛebbi : Seg Isḥaq ara k-d-fkeɣ dderya ara irefden isem-ik.

¹⁹concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

¹⁹Yețkel ɣef Ṛebbi bab n tezmert belli yezmer a d-isseḥyu ula si ger lmegtin daymi i s-d-yerra mmi-s : ayagi yella-d d lemtel.

²⁰By faith, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even concerning things to come.

²⁰S liman, Isḥaq iburek arraw-is Yeɛqub akk-d Icaɛu ɣef ddemma n wayen i d-iteddun.

²¹By faith, Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

²¹S liman daɣen i gburek Yeɛqub arraw n Yusef uqbel ad yemmet, s liman i gsenned ɣef wuɛekkaz iwakken ad iɛbed Ṛebbi.

²²By faith, Joseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.

²²S liman i gcar Sidna Yusef uqbel ad immet ɣef tuffɣa n wat Isṛail si tmurt n Maṣer, i gweṣṣa ad awin iɣsan-is yid-sen.

²³By faith, Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

²³S liman, imawlan n Sidna Musa ffren-t tlata n wagguren mi d-ilul axaṭer walan aqcic yecbeḥ dɣa ur uggaden ara lameṛ n ugellid.

²⁴By faith, Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

²⁴S liman, mi meqqeṛ Sidna Musa ur yeqbil ara ad ițțusemmi d mmi-s n yelli-s n Ferɛun,

²⁵choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;

²⁵yextaṛ ad yeɛteb d wegdud n Ṛebbi wala ad iqqim di zzhu n ddunit-agi yețțawin ɣer ddnub.

²⁶accounting the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

²⁶Yefhem belli leɛtab n Lmasiḥ, d sɛaya tameqqrant yugaren igerrujen n tmurt n Maṣer axaṭer iwala ɣer zdat lerbaḥ i t-yețṛaǧun.

²⁷By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

²⁷S liman i d-iffeɣ si tmurt n Maṣer ur yuggad ara agellid iweɛṛen, yeṭṭef di liman am win iwalan win akken ur yețwali yiwen.

²⁸By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

²⁸S liman i gefka lameṛ ad zlun izimer n leslak, i gṛucc tiwwura s idammen n izimer-nni iwakken m'ara d-iɛeddi win yessengaren ur yețnal ara imenza i d-ilulen ɣer wat Isṛail.

²⁹By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

²⁹S liman, agdud n Isṛail yezger ɣef wuḍar i lebḥeṛ azeggaɣ, ma d imaṣriyen mi ɛeṛden ad zegren am nutni, yečča-ten.

³⁰By faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.

³⁰S liman i ɣlin leswaṛ n temdint n Yeriku mi i s-yezzi wegdud n Isṛail sebɛa wussan.

³¹By faith, Rahab the prostitute, didn’t perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

³¹S liman, Ṛaḥab yellan d yir tameṭṭut ur temmut ara akk-d wid ur numin ara s Ṛebbi axaṭer testeṛḥeb akken ilaq s wid i d-yusan ad ssiwḍen lexbaṛ i wat Isṛail a sen-awin lexbaṛ.

³²What more shall I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets;

³²D acu ara d-iniɣ daɣen ? Aṭas n lweqt i glaqen iwakken a d-hedṛeɣ ɣef Gidɛun, ɣef Baraq, ɣef Samsun, ɣef Jifti, ɣef Sidna Dawed, ɣef Camwil neɣ ɣef lenbiya meṛṛa.

³³who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Daniel 6:22-23

³³Wid i grebḥen deg umenɣi tigeldiwin nniḍen s liman, xedmen anagar lḥeqq, țțunefkent-asen-d lemɛahdat, zemmemen imawen n yizmawen,

³⁴quenched the power of fire, Daniel 3:1-30 escaped the edge of the sword, 1 Kings 19:1-3; 2 Kings 6:31-7:20 from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.

³⁴ɣelben tazmert n tmes, menɛen i ujenwi qeṭṭiɛen, ḥlan si lehlakat-nsen, zewṛen deg umenɣi, lɛeskeṛ n tmura nniḍen rewlen zdat-sen.

³⁵Women received their dead by resurrection. 1 Kings 17:17-23; 2 Kings 4:32-37 Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

³⁵Kra n tilawin walant wid i sent-yemmuten uɣalen-d si ger lmegtin, wiyaḍ țwaqehṛen meɛna ur qbilen ara ṛṛeḥma n yemdanen iwakken ad sɛun ḥeggu n tideț.

³⁶Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

³⁶Wiyaḍ daɣen țwaqehṛen s ustehzi, s ujelkkaḍ, s snasel d leḥbus.

³⁷They were stoned. 2 Chronicles 24:20-21 They were sawn apart. They were tempted. They were slain with the sword. Jeremiah 26:20-23; 1 Kings 19:10 They went around in sheep skins and in goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, ill-treated

³⁷?waṛejmen, țwajeṛben, țwagezmen s umencaṛ, mmuten s ujenwi, teddun sya ɣer da, llebsa nsen d ibḍanen n wulli ț-țɣeṭṭen, yețwakkes-asen kullec, țwaḥeqṛen, țwaqehṛen.

³⁸Nutni ur tuklal ara ddunit, țmenṭaren deg unezṛuf, deg idurar, deg ifran d mkul amkan n ddunit.

³⁹These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise,

³⁹Widak-agi meṛṛa yețwaqeblen ɣer Ṛebbi s liman-nsen urɛad i ten-id yewweḍ wayen i sen-yewɛed,

⁴⁰God having provided some better thing concerning us, so that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

⁴⁰Axaṭer Sidi Ṛebbi ihegga-yaɣ ayen yifen ayen akken i sen-yewɛed i nutni, iwakken ur țțawḍen ara ɣer wayen akken ikemlen mbla ma nțekka yid-sen.
