The First Book of Kings 21: 17-29
| 21:17 | Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, کہہ رہا ہے: |
| 21:18 | "اٹھ کھڑے, and descend to meet Ahab, the king of Israel, who is in Samaria. دیکھو, he is descending to the vineyard of Naboth, so that he may take possession of it. |
| 21:19 | And you shall speak to him, کہہ رہا ہے: ‘Thus says the Lord: You have killed. Moreover you have also taken possession.’ And after this, you shall add: ‘Thus says the Lord: In this place, where the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall also lick your blood.’ ” |
| 21:20 | And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you discovered me to be your enemy?"اور اس نے کہا: “I have discovered you to have been sold, so that you would do evil in the sight of the Lord: |
| 21:21 | ‘Behold, I will lead evil over you. And I will cut down your posterity. And I will put to death of Ahab whatever urinates against a wall, and whatever is lame, and whatever is last in Israel. |
| 21:22 | And I will cause your house to be like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. For you have acted so that you provoked me to anger, and so that you caused Israel to sin.’ |
| 21:23 | And about Jezebel also, the Lord spoke, کہہ رہا ہے: ‘The dogs shall consume Jezebel in the field of Jezreel. |
| 21:24 | If Ahab will have died in the city, the dogs will consume him. But if he will have died in the field, the birds of the air will consume him.’ ” |
| 21:25 | اور تو, there was no other person similar to Ahab, who was sold so that he did evil in the sight of the Lord. For his wife, Jezebel, urged him on. |
| 21:26 | And he became abominable, so much so that he followed the idols that the Amorites had made, whom the Lord consumed before the face of the sons of Israel. |
| 21:27 | پھر, when Ahab had heard these words, he tore his garments, and he put haircloth on his body, and he fasted, and he slept in sackcloth, and he walked with his head downcast. |
| 21:28 | And the word of the Lord came to Elijah, the Tishbite, کہہ رہا ہے: |
| 21:29 | “Have you not seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? اس لیے, since he has humbled himself because of me, I will not lead in the evil during his days. اس کے بجائے, during the days of his son, I will bring in the evil to his house.” |
Gospel
The Holy Gospel According Matthew 5: 43-48
| 5:43 | آپ نے سنا ہے کہ کہا گیا تھا۔, ’’تم اپنے پڑوسی سے محبت رکھو, اور تمہیں اپنے دشمن سے نفرت ہو گی۔‘‘ |
| 5:44 | لیکن میں تم سے کہتا ہوں۔: اپنے دشمنوں سے پیار کرو. ان کے ساتھ بھلائی کرو جو تم سے نفرت کرتے ہیں۔. اور ان لوگوں کے لیے دعا کریں جو آپ کو ستاتے اور بہتان لگاتے ہیں۔. |
| 5:45 | اس طرح سے, تم اپنے باپ کے بیٹے بنو گے۔, جو جنت میں ہے. وہ اپنے سورج کو اچھے اور برے پر طلوع کرتا ہے۔, اور وہ عادل اور ظالم پر بارش برساتا ہے۔. |
| 5:46 | کیونکہ اگر آپ ان سے محبت کرتے ہیں جو آپ سے محبت کرتے ہیں۔, آپ کو کیا اجر ملے گا? ٹیکس وصول کرنے والے بھی ایسا سلوک نہ کریں۔? |
| 5:47 | اور اگر تم صرف اپنے بھائیوں کو سلام کرو, آپ نے مزید کیا کیا ہے? کافر بھی ایسا سلوک نہیں کرتے? |
| 5:48 | اس لیے, کامل ہو, جیسا کہ آپ کا آسمانی باپ کامل ہے۔" |
