ܓܠܛܝ̈ܐ 5

1 ܩܘܡܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܪܪܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܟܕܢܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܒܢܝܪܐ ܕܥܒܕܘܬܐ

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2 ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܬܬܓܙܪܘܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܗܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ

Listen, I, Paul, tell you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܕܡܬܓܙܪ ܕܚܝܒ ܗܘ ܕܟܠܗ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܥܒܕ

Yes, I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 ܐܬܒܛܠܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܙܕܕܩܝܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܢܦܠܬܘܢ

You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

5 ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܤܒܪܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܡܩܘܝܢܢ

For we, through the Spirit, by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

6 ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܘܠܐ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܡܬܓܡܪܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision amounts to anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith working through love.

7 ܫܦܝܪ ܪܗܛܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܕܘܕܟܘܢ ܕܠܫܪܪܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܛܦܝܤܘܢ

You were running well. Who interfered with you that you should not obey the truth?

8 ܦܝܤܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ

This persuasion is not from him who calls you.

9 ܚܡܝܪܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܟܠܗ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܡܚܡܥ

A little yeast grows through the whole lump.

10 ܐܢܐ ܬܟܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܪܥܝܬܘܢ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܠܚ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܢܤܝܒܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ

I have confidence toward you in the Lord that you will think no other way. But he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

11 ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܐܠܘ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܬܪܕܦ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܬܒܛܠ ܠܗ ܟܫܠܗ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ

But I, brothers, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? Then the stumbling block of the cross has been removed.

12 ܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܦܤܩ ܢܦܤܩܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܕܠܚܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ

I wish that those who disturb you would cut themselves off.

13 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܚܐܪܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܚܐܪܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܥܠܬ ܒܤܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ

For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only do not use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

14 ܟܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܚܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܬܡܠܐ ܒܗܝ ܕܬܚܒ ܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in this: "You are to love your neighbor as yourself."

15 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܡܢܟܬܝܬܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܬܘܢ ܚܙܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܕ ܬܤܘܦܘܢ

But if you bite and devour one another, be careful that you do not consume one another.

16 ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܪܘܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܪܓܬܐ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܡܬܘܡ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.

17 ܒܤܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܐܓ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܟܐ ܠܪܘܚܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܪܓܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܟܐ ܠܒܤܪܐ ܘܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܚܕ ܕܚܕ ܕܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

18 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܢܡܘܤܐ

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܨܚܢܘܬܐ

Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

20 ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܦܬܟܪܐ ܚܪܫܘܬܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܚܪܝܢܐ ܛܢܢܐ ܚܡܬܐ ܥܨܝܢܐ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܤܕܩܐ

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

21 ܚܤܡܐ ܩܛܠܐ ܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܙܡܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܤܥܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܗܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܝܪܬܝܢ

envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

22 ܦܐܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܛܒܘܬܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܤܝܡ

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

24 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܤܪܗܘܢ ܙܩܦܘ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܪܓܝܓܬܗ

Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

25 ܢܚܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܘܠܪܘܚܐ ܢܫܠܡ

If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

26 ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܤܪܝܩܝ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܩܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܘܚܤܡܝܢ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.
