ܐ-ܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ 6

1 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܢܝܪܐ ܕܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܐܝܩܪ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܡܬܓܕܦ

Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed.

2 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

And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort.

3 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܠܦ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܩܪܒ ܠܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ

If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;

4 ܗܢܐ ܡܬܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܕܪܫܐ ܘܒܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܡܢܗܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܡܤܡ ܒܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ

he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

5 ܘܫܚܩܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܓܠܝܙܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܕܬܓܘܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ

wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain.

6 ܬܐܓܘܪܬܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܫܚܬܐ ܕܡܤܬܢ

But godliness with contentment is great gain:

7 ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܐܥܠܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܐܦܠܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ

for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out;

8 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܤܦܩܐ ܠܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܬܟܤܝܬܐ

but having food and covering we shall be therewith content.

9 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܥܬܪ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܒܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܘܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܤܟܠܢ ܘܡܤܓܦܢ ܘܡܛܒܥܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܘܒܐܒܕܢܐ

But they that desire to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition.

10 ܥܩܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܪܚܡܬ ܟܤܦܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܥܘ ܘܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܥܠܘ ܠܕܐܘܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

11 ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܪܘܩ ܘܗܪܛ ܒܬܪ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܕܪܟ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܤܗܕܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ (aiōnios g166)

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. (aiōnios g166)

13 ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܐ ܟܠ ܘܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܤܗܕ ܩܕܡ ܦܢܛܝܘܤ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ

I charge thee in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession;

14 ܕܬܛܪܝܘܗܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܢܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܘܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܘܬܐ

which in its own times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 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)

who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power eternal. Amen. (aiōnios g166)

17 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)

Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; (aiōn g165)

18 ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܢܥܬܪܘܢ ܒܤܘܥܪܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܠܝܠܝܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܘܠܡܫܬܘܬܦܘ

that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate;

19 ܘܢܤܝܡܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܪܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed.

20 ܐܘ ܛܝܡܬܐܐ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܓܥܠ ܠܟ ܘܥܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܢܬ ܩܠܐ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܦܟܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ

O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto [thee], turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called;

21 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܛܥܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ

which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
