Romans 13
1 Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God.
| ܟܠ ܢܦܫ ܠܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܬܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܦܩܝܕܝܢ |
2 Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
| ܡܢ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܩܐܡ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܢܤܒܘܢ |
3 For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you will have praise from the authority,
| ܕܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܝܫܐ ܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܡܢܗ |
4 for he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil.
| ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܟ ܠܛܒܬܐ ܘܐܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܚܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܤܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܐܤܝܪ ܠܤܦܤܪܐ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܬܒܘܥܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ |
5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
| ܘܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܠܨܐ ܠܢ ܕܢܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܡܛܠ ܬܐܪܬܢ |
6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, continually doing this very thing.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܝܗܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܩܝܡܝܢ |
7 Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
| ܦܪܘܥܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܬܚܝܒ ܠܗ ܠܡܢ ܕܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܐܝܩܪܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ |
8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
| ܘܠܐܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܬܚܘܒܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܠܡܚܒܘ ܡܢ ܕܡܚܒ ܓܝܪ ܚܒܪܗ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܡܠܝ |
9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other commandments there are, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
| ܘܐܦ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܠܐ ܬܓܘܪ ܘܠܐ ܬܩܛܘܠ ܘܠܐ ܬܓܢܘܒ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܓ ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܫܬܠܡ ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܩܪܝܒܟ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܫܟ |
10 Love doesn’t harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
| ܚܘܒܐ ܠܩܪܝܒܗ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܤܥܪ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܘܒܐ ܡܘܠܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܢܡܘܤܐ |
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.
| ܘܐܦ ܗܕܐ ܕܥܘ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܫܥܬܐ ܗܝ ܡܟܝܠ ܕܢܬܥܝܪ ܡܢ ܫܢܬܢ ܗܫܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܢ ܚܝܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܟܕ ܗܝܡܢܢ |
12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.
| ܠܠܝܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܥܒܪ ܘܐܝܡܡܐ ܩܪܒ ܢܢܝܚ ܡܢܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܢܠܒܫ ܙܝܢܗ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ |
13 Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.
| ܘܐܝܟ ܕܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܢܗܠܟ ܠܐ ܒܙܡܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܡܕܡܟܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܚܤܡܐ ܘܒܚܪܝܢܐ |
14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.
| ܐܠܐ ܠܘܒܫܘܗܝ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܕܒܤܪܟܘܢ ܠܪܓܝܓܬܐ |
