ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܒܕܘܒܪܝܟܝܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܡܠܐ ܬܩܢܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ 1
In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word,
ܟܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܕܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ 2
seeing your pure behavior in fear.
ܘܠܐ ܬܨܛܒܬܢ ܒܨܒܬܐ ܒܪܝܐ ܕܓܕܘܠܐ ܕܤܥܪܝܟܝܢ ܐܘ ܕܚܫܠܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܕܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܝܬܪܐ 3
Let your beauty come not from the outward adorning of braiding your hair, and of wearing gold ornaments or of putting on fine clothing,
ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܬܝܢ ܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܟܤܝܐ ܕܠܒܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܡܟܝܟܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܨܒܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ 4
but from the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.
ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܢܫܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܨܒܬܢ ܗܘܝ ܢܦܫܬܗܝܢ ܘܡܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ 5
For this is how in the past the holy women who hoped in God also adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܪܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܩܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܗܝ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܢܬܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܚܠܐ 6
So Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children you now are if you do well and are not put in fear by any terror.
ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܡܪܘ ܥܡ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܐܢܐ ܡܚܝܠܐ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܐܚܘܕܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܝܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܝܪܬܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܟܘܢ 7
You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.
ܫܘܠܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܫܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܫܝܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܬܢܝܢ ܘܡܟܝܟܝܢ 8
Finally, all of you be like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous,
ܘܠܐܢܫ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܒܪܟܝܢ ܠܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܬܐܪܬܘܢ 9
not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܐ ܘܪܚܡ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܫܢܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܤܦܘܬܗ ܠܐ ܢܡܠܠܢ ܢܟܠܐ 10
For, “He who would love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
ܢܥܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܢܪܗܛ ܒܬܪܗ 11
Let him turn away from evil and do good. Let him seek peace and pursue it.
ܡܛܠ ܕܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ 12
For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”
ܘܡܢܘ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܛܢܢܐ ܕܛܒܬܐ 13
Now who will harm you if you become imitators of that which is good?
ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܬܚܫܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܓܫܘܢ 14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “Don’t fear what they fear, neither be troubled.”
ܐܠܐ ܩܕܫܘ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܠܟܠ ܕܬܒܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܐ 15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,
ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܛܠܡܝܢ ܠܕܘܒܪܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ 16
having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.
ܥܕܪܐ ܗܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܕ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܤܒܠܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ 17
For it is better, if it is God’s will, that you suffer for doing what is right than for doing evil.
ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܡܝܬ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܢܩܪܒܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܒܦܓܪ ܘܚܝܐ ܒܪܘܚ 18
Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the Spirit,
ܘܐܟܪܙ ܠܢܦܫܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܝܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܫܝܘܠ 19
in whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison,
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤ ܗܘܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܢܘܚ ܟܕ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܦܩܕܬ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܩܒܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܬܝܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܢܦܫܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܚܝܝ ܒܡܝܐ 20
who before were disobedient when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܒܗܘ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܘ ܟܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܨܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܘܒܩܝܡܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ 21
This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
ܗܘ ܕܐܬܥܠܝ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܘܚܝܠܘܬܐ 22
who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.
