عبراني 11: 1-2, 8-19

11:1 هاڻي, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not apparent.

11:2 ان لاءِ, the ancients were given testimony.

11:8 By faith, the one called Abraham obeyed, going out to the place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

11:9 By faith, he stayed in the Land of the Promise as if in a foreign land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, co-heirs of the same promise.

11:10 For he was awaiting a city having firm foundations, whose designer and builder is God.

11:11 By faith also, Sarah herself, being barren, received the ability to conceive offspring, even though she was past that age in life. For she believed him to be faithful, who had promised.

11:12 ان جي ڪري, there were also born, from one who himself was as if dead, a mulititude like the stars of heaven, who are, like the sand of the seashore, innumerable.

11:13 All of these passed away, adhering to faith, not having received the promises, yet beholding them from afar and saluting them, and confessing themselves to be sojourners and guests upon the earth.

11:14 For those who speak in this way are themselves indicating that they seek a homeland.

11:15 ۽ جيڪڏهن, واقعي, they had been mindful of the very place from which they departed, they certainly would have returned in time.

11:16 But now they hunger for a better place, اهو آهي, Heaven. ان لاءِ, God is not ashamed to be called their God. For he has prepared a city for them.

11:17 By faith, ابراهيم, when he was tested, offered Isaac, so that he who had received the promises was offering up his only son.

11:18 To him, it was said, “Through Isaac, shall your offspring be summoned,”

11:19 indicating that God is even able to raise up from the dead. And thus, he also established him as a parable.

Gospel

نشان 4: 35-40

4:35 ۽ ان ڏينهن تي, جڏهن شام ٿي چڪي هئي, هن انهن کي چيو, ”اچو ته پار ڪريون.

4:36 ۽ ميڙ کي رد ڪري ڇڏيو, ان کي کڻي آيا, تنهنڪري هو هڪ ٻيڙيءَ ۾ هو, ۽ ٻيون ٻيڙيون ساڻس گڏ هيون.

4:37 ۽ وڏو طوفان آيو, ۽ موج ٻيڙيءَ مٿان ٽٽي پئي, ته جيئن ٻيڙي ڀرجي وڃي.

4:38 ۽ هو ٻيڙيءَ جي ڪنڊ ۾ هو, هڪ تکيا تي سمهڻ. ۽ انھن کيس جاڳايو ۽ کيس چيو, ”استاد, ڇا توهان کي اها پرواهه ناهي ته اسان تباهه ٿي رهيا آهيون?”

4:39 ۽ اڀرڻ, هن واءُ کي ڌوڪو ڏنو, ۽ هن سمنڊ کي چيو: ”خاموش. خاموش ٿي وڃ“. ۽ واءُ بند ٿي ويو. ۽ وڏو سڪون پيدا ٿيو.

4:40 ۽ ھن انھن کي چيو: ”ڇو ٿو ڊڄين? ڇا توهان ۾ اڃا تائين ايمان جي کوٽ آهي?“ ۽ اُھي وڏي خوف ۾ مبتلا ٿي ويا. ۽ انھن ھڪٻئي کي چيو, ”تنهنجي خيال ۾ هي ڪير آهي, ته واء ۽ سمنڊ ٻنهي سندس فرمانبرداري ڪئي?”
