اِبْرِنَح 11
| وِشْواسَ آشَںسِتاناں نِشْچَیَح، اَدرِشْیاناں وِشَیاناں دَرْشَنَں بھَوَتِ۔ | 1 |
Now our trust in God is the guarantee of what we hope for, the evidence of what we can't see.
| تینَ وِشْواسینَ پْرانْچو لوکاح پْرامانْیَں پْراپْتَوَنْتَح۔ | 2 |
People who lived long ago trusted God and this is what gained them God's approval.
| اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْیینَ جَگَنْتْیَسرِجْیَنْتَ، درِشْٹَوَسْتُونِ چَ پْرَتْیَکْشَوَسْتُبھْیو نودَپَدْیَنْتَیتَدْ وَیَں وِشْواسینَ بُدھْیامَہے۔ (aiōn g165) | 3 |
Through our trust in God we understand that the whole universe was created by God's command, that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen. (aiōn g165)
| وِشْواسینَ ہابِلْ اِیشْوَرَمُدِّشْیَ کابِلَح شْریشْٹھَں بَلِدانَں کرِتَوانْ تَسْماچّیشْوَرینَ تَسْیَ دانانْیَدھِ پْرَمانے دَتّے سَ دھارْمِّکَ اِتْیَسْیَ پْرَمانَں لَبْدھَوانْ تینَ وِشْواسینَ چَ سَ مرِتَح سَنْ اَدْیاپِ بھاشَتے۔ | 4 |
By trusting him Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and as a result God identified him as someone who lived right. God showed this by accepting his offering. Even though Abel has been dead for a long time, he still speaks to us through what he did.
| وِشْواسینَ ہَنوکْ یَتھا مرِتْیُں نَ پَشْییتْ تَتھا لوکانْتَرَں نِیتَح، تَسْیودّیشَشْچَ کیناپِ نَ پْراپِ یَتَ اِیشْوَرَسْتَں لوکانْتَرَں نِیتَوانْ، تَتْپْرَمانَمِدَں تَسْیَ لوکانْتَرِیکَرَناتْ پُورْوَّں سَ اِیشْوَرایَ روچِتَوانْ اِتِ پْرَمانَں پْراپْتَوانْ۔ | 5 |
By trusting God Enoch was taken to heaven so he didn't experience death. He couldn't be found on earth because God took him to heaven. Before this happened he was known as someone God was pleased with.
| کِنْتُ وِشْواسَں وِنا کوپِیشْوَرایَ روچِتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ یَتَ اِیشْوَروسْتِ سْوانْویشِلوکیبھْیَح پُرَسْکارَں دَداتِ چیتِکَتھایامْ اِیشْوَرَشَرَناگَتَے رْوِشْوَسِتَوْیَں۔ | 6 |
You can't expect God to be pleased with you if you don't trust him! Anyone who comes to God must believe that God exists, and that he rewards those who are searching for him.
| اَپَرَں تَدانِیں یانْیَدرِشْیانْیاسَنْ تانِیشْوَرینادِشْٹَح سَنْ نوہو وِشْواسینَ بھِیتْوا سْوَپَرِجَناناں رَکْشارْتھَں پوتَں نِرْمِّتَوانْ تینَ چَ جَگَجَّناناں دوشانْ دَرْشِتَوانْ وِشْواساتْ لَبھْیَسْیَ پُنْیَسْیادھِکارِی بَبھُووَ چَ۔ | 7 |
Noah trusted God, and was warned by him about things that had never happened before. Because Noah paid serious attention to what God said, he constructed an ark to save his family. By trusting God, Noah showed that the world was wrong, and received the reward of being set right by God.
| وِشْواسینیبْراہِیمْ آہُوتَح سَنْ آجْناں گرِہِیتْوا یَسْیَ سْتھانَسْیادھِکارَسْتینَ پْراپْتَوْیَسْتَتْ سْتھانَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ کِنْتُ پْرَسْتھانَسَمَیے کَّ یامِیتِ ناجاناتْ۔ | 8 |
Through trusting God Abraham obeyed when God called him to go to the land God was going to give him. He left, not knowing where he was going.
| وِشْواسینَ سَ پْرَتِجْناتے دیشے پَرَدیشَوَتْ پْرَوَسَنْ تَسْیاح پْرَتِجْنایاح سَماناںشِبھْیامْ اِسْہاکا یاکُوبا چَ سَہَ دُوشْیَواسْیَبھَوَتْ۔ | 9 |
Trusting in God he lived in the promised land—but as a foreigner, living in tents, together with Isaac and Jacob who shared with him in inheriting the same promise.
| یَسْماتْ سَ اِیشْوَرینَ نِرْمِّتَں سْتھاپِتَنْچَ بھِتِّمُولَیُکْتَں نَگَرَں پْرَتْیَیکْشَتَ۔ | 10 |
For Abraham was looking forward to a city built on foundations that last, with God as its builder and maker.
| اَپَرَنْچَ وِشْواسینَ سارا وَیوتِکْرانْتا سَنْتْیَپِ گَرْبھَدھارَنایَ شَکْتِں پْراپْیَ پُتْرَوَتْیَبھَوَتْ، یَتَح سا پْرَتِجْناکارِنَں وِشْواسْیَمْ اَمَنْیَتَ۔ | 11 |
By her trust in God even Sarah herself was given the ability to conceive a child though she was too old, because she trusted God who had made the promise.
| تَتو ہیتو رْمرِتَکَلْپادْ ایکَسْماتْ جَنادْ آکاشِییَنَکْشَتْرانِیوَ گَنَناتِیتاح سَمُدْرَتِیرَسْتھَسِکَتا اِوَ چاسَںکھْیا لوکا اُتْپیدِرے۔ | 12 |
That is why the descendants of Abraham (who was as good as dead!) became as numerous as the stars of heaven, as countless as the sand of the sea shore.
| ایتے سَرْوّے پْرَتِجْنایاح پھَلانْیَپْراپْیَ کیوَلَں دُوراتْ تانِ نِرِیکْشْیَ وَنْدِتْوا چَ، پرِتھِوْیاں وَیَں وِدیشِنَح پْرَواسِنَشْچاسْمَہَ اِتِ سْوِیکرِتْیَ وِشْواسینَ پْرانانْ تَتْیَجُح۔ | 13 |
They all died still trusting in God. Though they didn't receive the things God promised, they were still looking for them as it were from a distance and welcomed them, acknowledging that on this earth they were foreigners, people just passing through.
| یے تُ جَنا اِتّھَں کَتھَیَنْتِ تَیح پَیترِکَدیشو سْمابھِرَنْوِشْیَتَ اِتِ پْرَکاشْیَتے۔ | 14 |
People who say such things make it clear that they're looking for a country of their own.
| تے یَسْمادْ دیشاتْ نِرْگَتاسْتَں یَدْیَسْمَرِشْیَنْ تَرْہِ پَراوَرْتَّنایَ سَمَیَمْ اَلَپْسْیَنْتَ۔ | 15 |
For if they cared about the country they'd left behind, they could have returned.
| کِنْتُ تے سَرْوّوتْکرِشْٹَمْ اَرْتھَتَح سْوَرْگِییَں دیشَمْ آکانْکْشَنْتِ تَسْمادْ اِیشْوَرَسْتانَدھِ نَ لَجَّمانَسْتیشامْ اِیشْوَرَ اِتِ نامَ گرِہِیتَوانْ یَتَح سَ تیشاں کرِتے نَگَرَمیکَں سَںسْتھاپِتَوانْ۔ | 16 |
But they're looking for a better country instead, a heavenly country. That is why God isn't disappointed with them, and is happy to be called their God, for he has built a city for them.
| اَپَرَمْ اِبْراہِیمَح پَرِیکْشایاں جاتایاں سَ وِشْواسینیسْہاکَمْ اُتْسَسَرْجَ، | 17 |
Abraham trusted God when he was tested and offered Isaac to God. Abraham, who had accepted God's promises, was still ready to offer to God his only son,
| وَسْتُتَ اِسْہاکِ تَوَ وَںشو وِکھْیاسْیَتَ اِتِ واگْ یَمَدھِ کَتھِتا تَمْ اَدْوِتِییَں پُتْرَں پْرَتِجْناپْراپْتَح سَ اُتْسَسَرْجَ۔ | 18 |
even though he'd been told, “It's through Isaac that your descendants will be counted.”
| یَتَ اِیشْوَرو مرِتانَپْیُتّھاپَیِتُں شَکْنوتِیتِ سَ مینے تَسْماتْ سَ اُپَمارُوپَں تَں لیبھے۔ | 19 |
Abraham had thought it through and decided that God could bring Isaac back to life from the dead. In a sense that's what did happen—Abraham received Isaac back from the dead.
| اَپَرَمْ اِسْہاکْ وِشْواسینَ یاکُوبْ ایشاوے چَ بھاوِوِشَیانَدھْیاشِشَں دَدَو۔ | 20 |
Trusting in God, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to what the future would bring.
| اَپَرَں یاکُوبْ مَرَنَکالے وِشْواسینَ یُوشَپھَح پُتْرَیوریکَیکَسْمَے جَنایاشِشَں دَدَو یَشْٹْیا اَگْرَبھاگے سَمالَمْبْیَ پْرَنَنامَ چَ۔ | 21 |
Trusting in God, Jacob as he was dying blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped God, leaning on his staff.
| اَپَرَں یُوشَپھْ چَرَمَکالے وِشْواسینیسْراییلْوَںشِییاناں مِسَرَدیشادْ بَہِرْگَمَنَسْیَ واچَں جَگادَ نِجاسْتھِینِ چادھِ سَمادِدیشَ۔ | 22 |
Trusting in God, Joseph too, when his own death approached, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites, and gave instructions about what to do with his bones.
| نَوَجاتو مُوساشْچَ وِشْواساتْ تْرانْ ماسانْ سْوَپِترِبھْیامْ اَگوپْیَتَ یَتَسْتَو سْوَشِشُں پَرَمَسُنْدَرَں درِشْٹَوَنْتَو راجاجْنانْچَ نَ شَنْکِتَوَنْتَو۔ | 23 |
Trusting in God, Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born. They recognized he was a special child. They weren't afraid to go against what the king had commanded.
| اَپَرَں وَیَحپْراپْتو مُوسا وِشْواساتْ پھِرَونو دَوہِتْرَ اِتِ نامَ نانْگِیچَکارَ۔ | 24 |
Trusting in God, Moses, when he grew up, refused to be known as the adopted son of Pharaoh's daughter.
| یَتَح سَ کْشَنِکاتْ پاپَجَسُکھَبھوگادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَجابھِح سارْدّھَں دُحکھَبھوگَں وَوْرے۔ | 25 |
Instead he chose to share in the sufferings of God's people rather than to enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin.
| تَتھا مِسَرَدیشِییَنِدھِبھْیَح کھْرِیشْٹَنِمِتّاں نِنْداں مَہَتِیں سَمْپَتِّں مینے یَتو ہیتوح سَ پُرَسْکارَدانَمْ اَپَیکْشَتَ۔ | 26 |
He counted the rejection he experienced from following Christ to be of far greater value than the wealth of Egypt—because he was focused on the reward to come.
| اَپَرَں سَ وِشْواسینَ راجْنَح کْرودھاتْ نَ بھِیتْوا مِسَرَدیشَں پَرِتَتْیاجَ، یَتَسْتینادرِشْیَں وِیکْشَمانینیوَ دھَیرْیَّمْ آلَمْبِ۔ | 27 |
Trusting in God, he left Egypt and wasn't scared of Pharaoh's anger—he kept going with his eyes fixed on the invisible God.
| اَپَرَں پْرَتھَمَجاتاناں ہَنْتا یَتْ سْوِییَلوکانْ نَ سْپرِشیتْ تَدَرْتھَں سَ وِشْواسینَ نِسْتارَپَرْوِّییَبَلِچّھیدَنَں رُدھِرَسیچَنَنْچانُشْٹھِتاوانْ۔ | 28 |
Trusting in God he observed the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroying angel would not touch the Israelites.
| اَپَرَں تے وِشْواساتْ سْتھَلینیوَ سُوپھْساگَرینَ جَگْمُح کِنْتُ مِسْرِییَلوکاسْتَتْ کَرْتُّمْ اُپَکْرَمْیَ توییشُ مَمَجُّح۔ | 29 |
Trusting in God the Israelites crossed the Red Sea as if it were dry land. When the Egyptians attempted to do the same they were drowned.
| اَپَرَنْچَ وِشْواساتْ تَیح سَپْتاہَں یاوَدْ یِرِیہوح پْراچِیرَسْیَ پْرَدَکْشِنے کرِتے تَتْ نِپَپاتَ۔ | 30 |
Trusting in God, the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho for seven days, and the walls fell down.
| وِشْواسادْ راہَبْنامِکا ویشْیاپِ پْرِیتْیا چارانْ اَنُگرِہْیاوِشْواسِبھِح سارْدّھَں نَ وِنَناشَ۔ | 31 |
Trusting in God, Rahab the prostitute didn't die with those who rejected God, because she had welcomed the Israelite spies in peace.
| اَدھِکَں کِں کَتھَیِشْیامِ؟ گِدِیونو بارَکَح شِمْشونو یِپْتَہو دایُودْ شِمُوییلو بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَشْچَیتیشاں ورِتّانْتَکَتھَنایَ مَمَ سَمَیابھاوو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 32 |
What other examples should I give? I don't have time to talk about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah; about David, Samuel, and the prophets.
| وِشْواساتْ تے راجْیانِ وَشِیکرِتَوَنْتو دھَرْمَّکَرْمّانِ سادھِتَوَنْتَح پْرَتِجْناناں پھَلَں لَبْدھَوَنْتَح سِںہاناں مُکھانِ رُدّھَوَنْتو | 33 |
Because of their trust in God they conquered kingdoms, did what was good and right, received God's promises, shut the mouths of lions,
| وَہْنیرْداہَں نِرْوّاپِتَوَنْتَح کھَنْگَدھارادْ رَکْشاں پْراپْتَوَنْتو دَورْبَّلْیے سَبَلِیکرِتا یُدّھے پَراکْرَمِنو جاتاح پَریشاں سَینْیانِ دَوَیِتَوَنْتَشْچَ۔ | 34 |
put out blazing fires, escaped being killed by the sword, were weak but made strong, did mighty deeds in war, and routed enemy armies.
| یوشِتَح پُنَرُتّھانینَ مرِتانْ آتْمَجانْ لیبھِرے، اَپَرے چَ شْریشْٹھوتّھانَسْیَ پْراپْتیراشَیا رَکْشامْ اَگرِہِیتْوا تاڈَنینَ مرِتَوَنْتَح۔ | 35 |
Women were given their dead family members back through resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to compromise and be pardoned, because they wanted to be part of a better resurrection.
| اَپَرے تِرَسْکارَیح کَشابھِ رْبَنْدھَنَیح کارَیا چَ پَرِیکْشِتاح۔ | 36 |
Yet others suffered insults and whippings; they were put in chains and imprisoned.
| بَہَوَشْچَ پْرَسْتَراگھاتَے رْہَتاح کَرَپَتْرَے رْوا وِدِیرْنا یَنْتْرَے رْوا کْلِشْٹاح کھَنْگَدھارَے رْوا وْیاپادِتاح۔ تے میشاناں چھاگاناں وا چَرْمّانِ پَرِدھایَ دِیناح پِیڈِتا دُحکھارْتّاشْچابھْرامْیَنْ۔ | 37 |
Some were stoned, cut in pieces, tempted, killed by the sword. Some dressed in sheepskins and goatskins: destitute, oppressed, and mistreated.
| سَںسارو ییشامْ اَیوگْیَسْتے نِرْجَنَسْتھانیشُ پَرْوَّتیشُ گَہْوَریشُ پرِتھِوْیاشْچھِدْریشُ چَ پَرْیَّٹَنْ۔ | 38 |
The world was not worthy to have such people who wandered in the deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the ground.
| ایتَیح سَرْوَّے رْوِشْواساتْ پْرَمانَں پْراپِ کِنْتُ پْرَتِجْنایاح پھَلَں نَ پْراپِ۔ | 39 |
All of these people, even though they had God's approval, didn't receive what God had promised.
| یَتَسْتے یَتھاسْمانْ وِنا سِدّھا نَ بھَوییُسْتَتھَیویشْوَریناسْماکَں کرِتے شْریشْٹھَتَرَں کِمَپِ نِرْدِدِشے۔ | 40 |
God has given us something even better, so that they can't be complete without us.
