< 1 Timothy 1 >

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
ܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܘܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܤܒܪܢ
2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܒܪܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܢ
3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
ܒܥܝܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܢܟ ܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܕܬܩܘܐ ܒܐܦܤܘܤ ܘܬܦܩܕ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܐ ܢܠܦܘܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ
4 and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
ܘܠܐ ܢܬܪܡܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܘܠܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܤܟܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
5 But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
ܤܟܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ
6 from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
ܘܡܢܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܥܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܤܛܘ ܠܡܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
ܒܕܒܥܘ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܬܚܪܝܢ
8 But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ ܢܬܕܒܪ ܒܗ
9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܠܟܐܢܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܐ ܤܝܡ ܐܠܐ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܠܡܪܘܕܐ ܘܠܪܫܝܥܐ ܘܠܚܛܝܐ ܘܠܥܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܟܝܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܡܗܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܩܛܘܠܐ
10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
ܘܠܙܢܝܐ ܘܠܫܟܒܝ ܥܡ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܓܢܒܝ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܘܠܕܓܠܐ ܘܠܥܒܪܝ ܥܠ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܠܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ
11 according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ
12 I thank him who enabled me, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
ܘܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܚܝܠܢܝ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܚܫܒܢܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܤܡܢܝ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܗ
13 although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
ܠܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܡܓܕܦܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܪܕܘܦ ܘܡܨܥܪܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܚܢܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
14 The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
ܤܓܝܬ ܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
15 The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ
16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܕܒܝ ܩܕܡܐ ܢܚܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܠܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166)
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōn g165)
18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܓܥܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܪܝ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܝܟ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘܝ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܬܦܠܘܚ ܒܗܝܢ ܦܠܚܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ
19 holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܕܚܩܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܤܬܪܩܘ
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
ܐܝܟ ܗܘܡܢܐܘܤ ܘܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܘܤ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܠܤܛܢܐ ܕܢܬܪܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ
