< 1 Peter 2 >

1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
ܐܢܝܚܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܢܟܠܐ ܘܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܘܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܝܠܘܕܐ ܫܒܪܐ ܘܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܠܒܐ ܢܩܕܐ ܘܪܘܚܢܐ ܕܒܗ ܬܬܪܒܘܢ ܠܚܝܐ
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
ܐܢ ܛܥܡܬܘܢ ܘܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܡܬܩܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܤܠܝܘܗܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܓܒܐ ܘܡܝܩܪ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
ܘܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܐܦܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܐܬܒܢܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܪܘܚܢܐ ܘܟܗܢܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܠܡܤܩܘ ܕܒܚܐ ܪܘܚܢܐ ܕܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
ܐܡܝܪ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܗܐ ܤܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܒܚܝܪܬܐ ܘܝܩܝܪܬܐ ܒܪܝܫ ܙܘܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
ܟܐܦܐ ܗܘ ܕܬܘܩܠܬܐ ܘܐܒܢܐ ܕܟܫܠܐ ܘܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܤܝܡܝܢ
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܟܗܢܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܡܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܦܪܝܩܐ ܬܤܒܪܘܢ ܬܫܒܚܬܗ ܕܗܘ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܠܢܘܗܪܗ ܡܝܬܪܐ
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܚܫܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܡܐ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܪܚܡܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܦܥܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܪܚܡܐ
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
ܚܒܝܒܝ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܨܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܐܬܦܪܩܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܪܓܝܓܬܗ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܢܦܫܐ
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܦܟܝܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܘܚܪܢܐ
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܡܛܠ ܫܘܠܛܢܗܘܢ
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
ܘܠܕܝܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܫܬܕܪܝܢ ܠܬܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܤܟܠܢܐ ܘܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܝ ܛܒܬܐ
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܬܤܟܪܘܢ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܤܟܠܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܥܒܝܕܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܐܪܘܬܗܘܢ ܬܚܦܝܬܐ ܠܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
ܠܟܠܢܫ ܝܩܪܘ ܠܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܘܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܠܡܠܟܐ ܝܩܪܘ
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܠܡܪܝܟܘܢ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܠܛܒܐ ܘܠܡܟܝܟܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܩܫܝܐ ܘܠܥܤܩܐ
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
ܠܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܥܩܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܥܘܠܐ
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܤܟܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܗܘܝܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܘܐܠܨܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܝܪܒܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܟܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
ܠܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܝܬ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܘܫܒܩ ܠܢ ܗܢܐ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܩܒܬܗ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܦܘܡܗ
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
ܗܘ ܕܡܨܛܚܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܨܚܐ ܘܚܐܫ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܠܚܡ ܐܠܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܗ ܠܕܝܢܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
ܘܫܩܠ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܤܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܦܓܪܗ ܠܨܠܝܒܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢܢ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܢܚܐ ܒܫܘܡܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐܤܝܬܘܢ
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
ܕܛܥܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪܒܐ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܬܘܢ ܗܫܐ ܠܘܬ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܤܥܘܪܐ ܕܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ
