< Colossians 3 >

1 If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܩܡܬܘܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܥܠ ܒܥܘ ܐܬܪ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
ܕܠܥܠ ܐܬܪܥܘ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ
3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܚܝܝܟܘܢ ܟܤܝܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ
4 When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
ܘܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܬܓܠܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܝܝܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܓܠܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ
5 Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
ܐܡܝܬܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܟܐܒܐ ܘܪܓܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܕܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ
6 For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܗ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ
7 You also once walked in those, when you lived in them,
ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܠܟܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܢ
8 but now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܝܚܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܚܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܛܢܦܐ
9 Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܕܓܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ ܐܠܐ ܫܘܠܚܘܗܝ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܩܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܦܟܘܗܝ
10 and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
ܘܠܒܫܘ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܡܬܚܕܬ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܝܗ
11 where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, or free person; but Christ is all, and in all.
ܟܪ ܕܠܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܒܪܚܐܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܘܒܟܠܢܫ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ
12 Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
ܠܒܫܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܪܘܚܦܐ ܘܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܘܡܟܝܟܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܘܢܝܚܘܬܐ ܘܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܐܢܫ ܥܠ ܚܒܪܗ ܪܘܥܡܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܒܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ
14 Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
ܘܥܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܙܩܐ ܕܓܡܝܪܘܬܐ
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body, and be thankful.
ܘܫܠܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܕܒܪ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܗ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܦܓܪ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
ܕܡܠܬܗ ܬܥܡܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܬܫܒܚܬܐ ܘܒܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ
17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܥܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܥܒܕܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ
18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
ܢܫܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ
19 Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܪܝܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ
20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
ܒܢܝܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ
21 Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
ܐܒܗܐ ܠܐ ܬܪܓܙܘܢ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܥܝܩܘܢ
22 Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
ܥܒܕܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܠܡܪܝܟܘܢ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܠܐ ܒܡܚܙܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܦܪܝܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܠܒܐ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
23 And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
ܘܟܠ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ
24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
ܘܕܥܘ ܕܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܡܩܒܠܝܬܘܢ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܒܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܦܠܚܝܬܘܢ
25 But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
ܡܤܟܠܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܦܪܥ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܤܟܠ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ
