| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܢܝܪܐ ܕܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܐܝܩܪ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܡܬܓܕܦ | 1 |
All who are bound under slavery should consider their masters worthy of respect, so that God's name and Christian beliefs won't be defamed.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܒܤܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܐܚܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܫܡܫܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܬܢܝܚܝܢ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܒܥܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ | 2 |
Slaves who have Christian masters should not disrespect them because they are brothers. Instead they should serve them even better, because those who are benefiting from their service are fellow-believers they should love. Teach these instructions, and encourage people to follow them.
| ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܠܦ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܩܪܒ ܠܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ | 3 |
Those that teach different beliefs, and don't listen to good counsel, particularly the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the true teachings of God,
| ܗܢܐ ܡܬܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܕܪܫܐ ܘܒܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܡܢܗܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܡܤܡ ܒܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ | 4 |
are arrogant and don't understand anything. They're obsessed with speculation and philosophical debates which only lead to jealousy, arguments, malicious gossip and evil suspicions—
| ܘܫܚܩܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܓܠܝܙܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܕܬܓܘܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ | 5 |
the constant arguing of people whose minds are totally corrupt and who have lost the truth, thinking that they can profit financially from religion…
| ܬܐܓܘܪܬܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܫܚܬܐ ܕܡܤܬܢ | 6 |
But knowing and following God is so incredibly satisfying!
| ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܐܥܠܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܐܦܠܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ | 7 |
For we didn't bring anything into the world, and we can't take anything out with us either.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܤܦܩܐ ܠܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܬܟܤܝܬܐ | 8 |
But if we have food and clothes then that's enough for us.
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܥܬܪ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܒܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܘܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܤܟܠܢ ܘܡܤܓܦܢ ܘܡܛܒܥܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܘܒܐܒܕܢܐ | 9 |
Those who are determined to become rich fall into the trap of temptation, following many foolish and damaging impulses.
| ܥܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܪܚܡܬ ܟܤܦܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܥܘ ܘܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܥܠܘ ܠܕܐܘܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ | 10 |
For the desire to be rich leads to many kinds of evil results. Some of those who longed for this have turned away from the truth, and have hurt themselves, experiencing a lot of pain.
| ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܪܘܩ ܘܗܪܛ ܒܬܪ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ | 11 |
But you as a man of God should run away from such things. You should seek to do what is right, practice true religion, and trust in God. Aim to love, to be patient, and gentle.
| ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܕܪܟ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܗܕܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ (aiōnios g166) | 12 |
Fight the good fight as you trust in God. Hold on tightly to the eternal life to which you were called. This is what you promised to do in front of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)
| ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܐ ܟܠ ܘܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܩܕܡ ܦܢܛܝܘܤ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ | 13 |
My charge to you before God the Life-giver, and before Christ Jesus who testified to the good news before Pontius Pilate,
| ܕܬܛܪܝܘܗܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ | 14 |
is to follow faithfully what you've been told so you will be above criticism until our Lord Jesus Christ appears.
| ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܢܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܘܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܘܬܐ | 15 |
At the right time Jesus will be revealed—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.
| ܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܥܡܪ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܬܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܘܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܡܨܐ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ (aiōnios g166) | 16 |
He is the only one who is immortal, and lives in unapproachable light. No one has seen him or can see him—honor and eternal power is his! Amen. (aiōnios g166)
| ܠܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܟܠܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܟܠ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܢܝܚܢ (aiōn g165) | 17 |
Warn those who are rich in the present world not to become proud. Tell them not to place their trust in wealth that is so insecure but in God who so freely gives us everything for our enjoyment. (aiōn g165)
| ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܢܥܬܪܘܢ ܒܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܠܝܠܝܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܘܠܡܫܬܘܬܦܘ | 18 |
Tell them to do good, and to become rich in doing good things, ready to share what they have, and to be generous.
| ܘܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܪܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ | 19 |
In this way they store up treasure that will provide a solid basis for the future, so that they can take hold of true life.
| ܐܘ ܛܝܡܬܐܐ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܓܥܠ ܠܟ ܘܥܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܢܬ ܩܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܦܟܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ | 20 |
Timothy, take care of what's been given to you. Don't pay any attention to pointless chatter and arguments based on so-called “knowledge.”
| ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܛܥܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ | 21 |
Some who promote these ideas have wandered away from their trust in God. May grace be with you.
