اِبْرِنَح 11

1 وِشْواسَ آشَںسِتاناں نِشْچَیَح، اَدرِشْیاناں وِشَیاناں دَرْشَنَں بھَوَتِ۔

Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not.

2 تینَ وِشْواسینَ پْرانْچو لوکاح پْرامانْیَں پْراپْتَوَنْتَح۔

For by this the ancients obtained a testimony.

3 اَپَرَمْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ واکْیینَ جَگَنْتْیَسرِجْیَنْتَ، درِشْٹَوَسْتُونِ چَ پْرَتْیَکْشَوَسْتُبھْیو نودَپَدْیَنْتَیتَدْ وَیَں وِشْواسینَ بُدھْیامَہے۔ (aiōn g165)

By faith we understand that the world was framed by the word of God; that from invisible things visible things might be made. (aiōn g165)

4 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۔

By faith Abel offered to God a sacrifice exceeding that of Cain, by which he obtained a testimony that he was just, God giving testimony to his gifts; and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 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۔

By faith Henoch was translated, that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God.

6 کِنْتُ وِشْواسَں وِنا کوپِیشْوَرایَ روچِتُں نَ شَکْنوتِ یَتَ اِیشْوَروسْتِ سْوانْویشِلوکیبھْیَح پُرَسْکارَں دَداتِ چیتِکَتھایامْ اِیشْوَرَشَرَناگَتَے رْوِشْوَسِتَوْیَں۔

But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God, must believe that he is, and is a rewarder to them that seek him.

7 اَپَرَں تَدانِیں یانْیَدرِشْیانْیاسَنْ تانِیشْوَرینادِشْٹَح سَنْ نوہو وِشْواسینَ بھِیتْوا سْوَپَرِجَناناں رَکْشارْتھَں پوتَں نِرْمِّتَوانْ تینَ چَ جَگَجَّناناں دوشانْ دَرْشِتَوانْ وِشْواساتْ لَبھْیَسْیَ پُنْیَسْیادھِکارِی بَبھُووَ چَ۔

By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house, by the which he condemned the world; and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith.

8 وِشْواسینیبْراہِیمْ آہُوتَح سَنْ آجْناں گرِہِیتْوا یَسْیَ سْتھانَسْیادھِکارَسْتینَ پْراپْتَوْیَسْتَتْ سْتھانَں پْرَسْتھِتَوانْ کِنْتُ پْرَسْتھانَسَمَیے کَّ یامِیتِ ناجاناتْ۔

By faith he that is called Abraham, obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 وِشْواسینَ سَ پْرَتِجْناتے دیشے پَرَدیشَوَتْ پْرَوَسَنْ تَسْیاح پْرَتِجْنایاح سَماناںشِبھْیامْ اِسْہاکا یاکُوبا چَ سَہَ دُوشْیَواسْیَبھَوَتْ۔

By faith he abode in the land, dwelling in cottages, with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.

10 یَسْماتْ سَ اِیشْوَرینَ نِرْمِّتَں سْتھاپِتَنْچَ بھِتِّمُولَیُکْتَں نَگَرَں پْرَتْیَیکْشَتَ۔

For he looked for a city that hath foundations; whose builder and maker is God.

11 اَپَرَنْچَ وِشْواسینَ سارا وَیوتِکْرانْتا سَنْتْیَپِ گَرْبھَدھارَنایَ شَکْتِں پْراپْیَ پُتْرَوَتْیَبھَوَتْ، یَتَح سا پْرَتِجْناکارِنَں وِشْواسْیَمْ اَمَنْیَتَ۔

By faith also Sara herself, being barren, received strength to conceive seed, even past the time of age; because she believed that he was faithful who had promised,

12 تَتو ہیتو رْمرِتَکَلْپادْ ایکَسْماتْ جَنادْ آکاشِییَنَکْشَتْرانِیوَ گَنَناتِیتاح سَمُدْرَتِیرَسْتھَسِکَتا اِوَ چاسَںکھْیا لوکا اُتْپیدِرے۔

For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13 ایتے سَرْوّے پْرَتِجْنایاح پھَلانْیَپْراپْیَ کیوَلَں دُوراتْ تانِ نِرِیکْشْیَ وَنْدِتْوا چَ، پرِتھِوْیاں وَیَں وِدیشِنَح پْرَواسِنَشْچاسْمَہَ اِتِ سْوِیکرِتْیَ وِشْواسینَ پْرانانْ تَتْیَجُح۔

All these died according to faith, not having received the promises, but beholding them afar off, and saluting them, and confessing that they are pilgrims and strangers on the earth.

14 یے تُ جَنا اِتّھَں کَتھَیَنْتِ تَیح پَیترِکَدیشو سْمابھِرَنْوِشْیَتَ اِتِ پْرَکاشْیَتے۔

For they that say these things, do signify that they seek a country.

15 تے یَسْمادْ دیشاتْ نِرْگَتاسْتَں یَدْیَسْمَرِشْیَنْ تَرْہِ پَراوَرْتَّنایَ سَمَیَمْ اَلَپْسْیَنْتَ۔

And truly if they had been mindful of that from whence they came out, they had doubtless time to return.

16 کِنْتُ تے سَرْوّوتْکرِشْٹَمْ اَرْتھَتَح سْوَرْگِییَں دیشَمْ آکانْکْشَنْتِ تَسْمادْ اِیشْوَرَسْتانَدھِ نَ لَجَّمانَسْتیشامْ اِیشْوَرَ اِتِ نامَ گرِہِیتَوانْ یَتَح سَ تیشاں کرِتے نَگَرَمیکَں سَںسْتھاپِتَوانْ۔

But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a city.

17 اَپَرَمْ اِبْراہِیمَح پَرِیکْشایاں جاتایاں سَ وِشْواسینیسْہاکَمْ اُتْسَسَرْجَ،

By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered Isaac: and he that had received the promises, offered up his only begotten son;

18 وَسْتُتَ اِسْہاکِ تَوَ وَںشو وِکھْیاسْیَتَ اِتِ واگْ یَمَدھِ کَتھِتا تَمْ اَدْوِتِییَں پُتْرَں پْرَتِجْناپْراپْتَح سَ اُتْسَسَرْجَ۔

(To whom it was said: In Isaac shall thy seed be called.)

19 یَتَ اِیشْوَرو مرِتانَپْیُتّھاپَیِتُں شَکْنوتِیتِ سَ مینے تَسْماتْ سَ اُپَمارُوپَں تَں لیبھے۔

Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable.

20 اَپَرَمْ اِسْہاکْ وِشْواسینَ یاکُوبْ ایشاوے چَ بھاوِوِشَیانَدھْیاشِشَں دَدَو۔

By faith also of things to come, Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau.

21 اَپَرَں یاکُوبْ مَرَنَکالے وِشْواسینَ یُوشَپھَح پُتْرَیوریکَیکَسْمَے جَنایاشِشَں دَدَو یَشْٹْیا اَگْرَبھاگے سَمالَمْبْیَ پْرَنَنامَ چَ۔

By faith Jacob dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, and adored the top of his rod.

22 اَپَرَں یُوشَپھْ چَرَمَکالے وِشْواسینیسْراییلْوَںشِییاناں مِسَرَدیشادْ بَہِرْگَمَنَسْیَ واچَں جَگادَ نِجاسْتھِینِ چادھِ سَمادِدیشَ۔

By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the going out of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23 نَوَجاتو مُوساشْچَ وِشْواساتْ تْرانْ ماسانْ سْوَپِترِبھْیامْ اَگوپْیَتَ یَتَسْتَو سْوَشِشُں پَرَمَسُنْدَرَں درِشْٹَوَنْتَو راجاجْنانْچَ نَ شَنْکِتَوَنْتَو۔

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months by his parents; because they saw he was a comely babe, and they feared not the king’s edict.

24 اَپَرَں وَیَحپْراپْتو مُوسا وِشْواساتْ پھِرَونو دَوہِتْرَ اِتِ نامَ نانْگِیچَکارَ۔

By faith Moses, when he was grown up, denied himself to be the son of Pharao’s daughter;

25 یَتَح سَ کْشَنِکاتْ پاپَجَسُکھَبھوگادْ اِیشْوَرَسْیَ پْرَجابھِح سارْدّھَں دُحکھَبھوگَں وَوْرے۔

Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God, than to have the pleasure of sin for a time,

26 تَتھا مِسَرَدیشِییَنِدھِبھْیَح کھْرِیشْٹَنِمِتّاں نِنْداں مَہَتِیں سَمْپَتِّں مینے یَتو ہیتوح سَ پُرَسْکارَدانَمْ اَپَیکْشَتَ۔

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward.

27 اَپَرَں سَ وِشْواسینَ راجْنَح کْرودھاتْ نَ بھِیتْوا مِسَرَدیشَں پَرِتَتْیاجَ، یَتَسْتینادرِشْیَں وِیکْشَمانینیوَ دھَیرْیَّمْ آلَمْبِ۔

By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured as seeing him that is invisible.

28 اَپَرَں پْرَتھَمَجاتاناں ہَنْتا یَتْ سْوِییَلوکانْ نَ سْپرِشیتْ تَدَرْتھَں سَ وِشْواسینَ نِسْتارَپَرْوِّییَبَلِچّھیدَنَں رُدھِرَسیچَنَنْچانُشْٹھِتاوانْ۔

By faith he celebrated the pasch, and the shedding of the blood; that he, who destroyed the firstborn, might not touch them.

29 اَپَرَں تے وِشْواساتْ سْتھَلینیوَ سُوپھْساگَرینَ جَگْمُح کِنْتُ مِسْرِییَلوکاسْتَتْ کَرْتُّمْ اُپَکْرَمْیَ توییشُ مَمَجُّح۔

By faith they passed through the Red Sea, as by dry land: which the Egyptians attempting, were swallowed up.

30 اَپَرَنْچَ وِشْواساتْ تَیح سَپْتاہَں یاوَدْ یِرِیہوح پْراچِیرَسْیَ پْرَدَکْشِنے کرِتے تَتْ نِپَپاتَ۔

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, by the going round them seven days.

31 وِشْواسادْ راہَبْنامِکا ویشْیاپِ پْرِیتْیا چارانْ اَنُگرِہْیاوِشْواسِبھِح سارْدّھَں نَ وِنَناشَ۔

By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.

32 اَدھِکَں کِں کَتھَیِشْیامِ؟ گِدِیونو بارَکَح شِمْشونو یِپْتَہو دایُودْ شِمُوییلو بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَشْچَیتیشاں ورِتّانْتَکَتھَنایَ مَمَ سَمَیابھاوو بھَوِشْیَتِ۔

And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets:

33 وِشْواساتْ تے راجْیانِ وَشِیکرِتَوَنْتو دھَرْمَّکَرْمّانِ سادھِتَوَنْتَح پْرَتِجْناناں پھَلَں لَبْدھَوَنْتَح سِںہاناں مُکھانِ رُدّھَوَنْتو

Who by faith conquered kingdoms, wrought justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 وَہْنیرْداہَں نِرْوّاپِتَوَنْتَح کھَنْگَدھارادْ رَکْشاں پْراپْتَوَنْتو دَورْبَّلْیے سَبَلِیکرِتا یُدّھے پَراکْرَمِنو جاتاح پَریشاں سَینْیانِ دَوَیِتَوَنْتَشْچَ۔

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, recovered strength from weakness, became valiant in battle, put to flight the armies of foreigners:

35 یوشِتَح پُنَرُتّھانینَ مرِتانْ آتْمَجانْ لیبھِرے، اَپَرے چَ شْریشْٹھوتّھانَسْیَ پْراپْتیراشَیا رَکْشامْ اَگرِہِیتْوا تاڈَنینَ مرِتَوَنْتَح۔

Women received their dead raised to life again. But others were racked, not accepting deliverance, that they might find a better resurrection.

36 اَپَرے تِرَسْکارَیح کَشابھِ رْبَنْدھَنَیح کارَیا چَ پَرِیکْشِتاح۔

And others had trial of mockeries and stripes, moreover also of bands and prisons.

37 بَہَوَشْچَ پْرَسْتَراگھاتَے رْہَتاح کَرَپَتْرَے رْوا وِدِیرْنا یَنْتْرَے رْوا کْلِشْٹاح کھَنْگَدھارَے رْوا وْیاپادِتاح۔ تے میشاناں چھاگاناں وا چَرْمّانِ پَرِدھایَ دِیناح پِیڈِتا دُحکھارْتّاشْچابھْرامْیَنْ۔

They were stoned, they were cut asunder, they were tempted, they were put to death by the sword, they wandered about in sheepskins, in goatskins, being in want, distressed, afflicted:

38 سَںسارو ییشامْ اَیوگْیَسْتے نِرْجَنَسْتھانیشُ پَرْوَّتیشُ گَہْوَریشُ پرِتھِوْیاشْچھِدْریشُ چَ پَرْیَّٹَنْ۔

Of whom the world was not worthy; wandering in deserts, in mountains, and in dens, and in caved of the earth.

39 ایتَیح سَرْوَّے رْوِشْواساتْ پْرَمانَں پْراپِ کِنْتُ پْرَتِجْنایاح پھَلَں نَ پْراپِ۔

And all these being approved by the testimony of faith, received not the promise;

40 یَتَسْتے یَتھاسْمانْ وِنا سِدّھا نَ بھَوییُسْتَتھَیویشْوَریناسْماکَں کرِتے شْریشْٹھَتَرَں کِمَپِ نِرْدِدِشے۔

God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us.
