ܐܦܣܝ̈ܐ 2

1 ܘܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ

You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins,

2 ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܗܠܟܬܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܠܡܝܘܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܪܝܫ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܕܐܐܪ ܘܕܪܘܚܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܡܬܚܦܛܐ ܒܒܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ (aiōn g165)

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

3 ܒܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܐܬܗܦܟܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܕܒܤܪܢ ܘܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܒܤܪܢ ܘܕܬܪܥܝܬܢ ܘܒܢܝܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܡܠܝܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

4 ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܪ ܒܪܚܡܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܚܘܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܚܒܢ

But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

5 ܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܒܚܛܗܝܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܦܪܩܢ

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

6 ܘܐܩܝܡܢ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܘܬܒܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 ܕܢܚܘܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܘܒܤܝܡܘܬܗ ܕܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ (aiōn g165)

that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; (aiōn g165)

8 ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܦܪܩܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 ܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܒܗܪ

not of works, that no one would boast.

10 ܒܪܝܬܐ ܚܢܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܐܬܒܪܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܛܝܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܢܗܠܟ

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

11 ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܗܕܝܢ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܕܒܤܪ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܡܢ ܗܝ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܒܒܤܪܐ

Therefore remember that once you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “uncircumcision” by that which is called “circumcision” (in the flesh, made by hands),

12 ܘܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܢܘܟܪܝܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܘܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܗܘ ܠܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܡܘܠܟܢܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܤܒܪ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܘܕܠܐ ܐܠܗ ܒܥܠܡܐ

that you were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

13 ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܪܚܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܕܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

14 ܗܘܝܘ ܓܝܪ ܫܝܢܢ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܬܪܬܝܗܝܢ ܚܕܐ ܘܫܪܐ ܤܝܓܐ ܕܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܨܥܬܐ

For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of separation,

15 ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ ܒܒܤܪܗ ܘܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܦܘܩܕܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܒܛܠ ܕܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܢܒܪܐ ܒܩܢܘܡܗ ܠܚܕ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܥܒܕ ܫܝܢܐ

having abolished in his flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace,

16 ܘܪܥܝ ܠܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܦܓܪ ܥܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܙܩܝܦܗ ܩܛܠ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܬܐ

and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having killed the hostility through it.

17 ܘܐܬܐ ܤܒܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܪܚܝܩܐ ܘܠܩܪܝܒܐ

He came and preached peace to you who were far off and to those who were near.

18 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܗ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܠܢ ܩܘܪܒܐ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܪܘܚ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܐ

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

19 ܡܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ

So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and of the household of God,

20 ܘܐܬܒܢܝܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܕܢܒܝܐ ܘܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܝܫ ܩܪܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

21 ܘܒܗ ܡܬܪܟܒ ܟܠܗ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܘܪܒܐ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ

in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

22 ܟܕ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܡܬܒܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܡܪܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܘܚ

in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
