My comment:

This literally means "gambling" which is one interpretation of your query. If, however, you mean "blind faith" or "faith without evidence" then you could use "Creideamh caoch" (= blind faith).

Correct spelling of the words: "léim, creideamh". "creideamh" is a masculine noun so "léim na creideamh" is doubly incorrect, wrong gender, wrong case. Anyway, translating a phrase like that word for word is misleading and rarely leads to a phrase that means anything in the target language. "Leim an chreidimh" would actually mean that the "faith" is "leaping"!
