ܐ-ܦܛܪܘܣ 2

1 ܐܢܝܚܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܢܟܠܐ ܘܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܘܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ

Wherefore, laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil-speakings,

2 ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܫܒܪܐ ܘܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܠܒܐ ܢܩܕܐ ܘܪܘܚܢܐ ܕܒܗ ܬܬܪܒܘܢ ܠܚܝܐ

As new-born babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

3 ܐܢ ܛܥܡܬܘܢ ܘܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ

If indeed ye have tasted that the Lord [is] gracious.

4 ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܡܬܩܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘܗܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܓܒܐ ܘܡܝܩܪ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ

To whom coming [as to] a living stone, disallowed indeed by men, but chosen by God, [and] precious,

5 ܘܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܐܦܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܐܬܒܢܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܪܘܚܢܐ ܘܟܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܠܡܤܩܘ ܕܒܚܐ ܪܘܚܢܐ ܕܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

Ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

6 ܐܡܝܪ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܗܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܒܚܝܪܬܐ ܘܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܒܪܝܫ ܙܘܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ

Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner-stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7 ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ

To you therefore who believe [he is] precious: but to them who are disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 ܟܐܦܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܘܐܒܢܐ ܕܟܫܠܐ ܘܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܤܝܡܝܢ

And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, [even to them] who stumble at the word, being disobedient: to which also they were appointed.

9 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܟܗܢܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܡܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܬܤܒܪܘܢ ܬܫܒܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܢܘܗܪܗ ܡܝܬܪܐ

But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

10 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܚܫܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܡܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܪܚܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܦܥܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܪܚܡܐ

Who in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

11 ܚܒܝܒܝ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܨܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܐܬܦܪܩܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܪܓܝܓܬܗ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܦܫܐ

Dearly beloved, I beseech [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

12 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܦܟܝܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܘܚܪܢܐ

Having your manner of life honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by [your] good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

14 ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܫܬܕܪܝܢ ܠܬܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܤܟܠܢܐ ܘܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܝ ܛܒܬܐ

Or to governors, as to them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers, and for the praise of them that do well.

15 ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܬܤܟܪܘܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܤܟܠܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ

For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16 ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܥܒܝܕܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܐܪܘܬܗܘܢ ܬܚܦܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ

As free, and not using [your] liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

17 ܠܟܠܢܫ ܝܩܪܘ ܠܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܘܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܠܡܠܟܐ ܝܩܪܘ

Honor all [men]. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.

18 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܠܡܪܝܟܘܢ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܛܒܐ ܘܠܡܟܝܟܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܩܫܝܐ ܘܠܥܤܩܐ

Servants, [be] subject to [your] masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

19 ܠܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܥܩܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܥܘܠܐ

For this [is] thank-worthy, if a man for conscience towards God endureth grief, suffering wrongfully.

20 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܤܟܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܘܐܠܨܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܝܪܒܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܟܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ

For what glory [is it], if, when ye are buffeted for your faults, ye bear it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer [for it], ye bear it patiently, this [is] acceptable with God.

21 ܠܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܝܬ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܘܫܒܩ ܠܢ ܗܢܐ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܩܒܬܗ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ

For even to this were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22 ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܦܘܡܗ

Who committed no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23 ܗܘ ܕܡܨܛܚܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܨܚܐ ܘܚܐܫ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܠܚܡ ܐܠܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ

Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:

24 ܘܫܩܠ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܠܨܠܝܒܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܢܚܐ ܒܫܘܡܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐܤܝܬܘܢ

Who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

25 ܕܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܒܐ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܠܘܬ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܤܥܘܪܐ ܕܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
