ܠܘܩܘܣ 6
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܠܐ ܘܦܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ | 1 |
One Sabbath Jesus was walking through cornfields, and his disciples were picking the ears of wheat, and rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.
| ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܒܬܐ | 2 |
‘Why are you doing what it is not allowable to do on the Sabbath?’ asked some of the Pharisees.
| ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ | 3 |
Jesus’ answer was, ‘Haven’t you read even of what David did, when he was hungry, he and his companions –
| ܕܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܟܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ | 4 |
That he went into the house of God, and took the consecrated bread and ate it, and gave some to his companions, though only the priests are allowed to eat it?’
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ | 5 |
Then Jesus added, ‘The Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.’
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ | 6 |
On another Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
| ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܐܤܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ | 7 |
The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely, to see if he would work cures on the Sabbath, so that they might find a charge to bring against him.
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܩܘܡ ܬܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܨܥܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܡ | 8 |
Jesus, however, knew what was in the their minds, and said to the man whose hand was withered, ‘Stand up and come out into the middle.’ The man stood up;
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܘ ܕܒܝܫ ܢܦܫܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ | 9 |
and Jesus said to them, ‘I ask you, is it allowable to do good on the Sabbath – or harm? To save a life, or let it perish?’
| ܘܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ | 10 |
Then, looking round at them all, he said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ The man did so; and his hand had become sound.
| ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ | 11 |
But the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were mad with rage, and consulted together what they could do to Jesus.
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܬܡܢ ܐܓܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 12 |
Now about that time, Jesus went out, up the hill, to pray, and spent the whole night in prayer to God.
| ܘܟܕ ܢܓܗܬ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܓܒܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܫܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ | 13 |
When day came, he summoned his disciples, and chose twelve of them, whom he also named “apostles.”
| ܫܡܥܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ | 14 |
They were Simon (whom Jesus also named Peter), and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
| ܘܡܬܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܛܢܢܐ | 15 |
Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Simon known as the Zealot,
| ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ | 16 |
Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who proved a traitor.
| ܘܢܚܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܡ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪ ܝܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ | 17 |
Afterwards Jesus came down the hill with them and took his stand on a level place. With him were a large crowd of his disciples, and great numbers of people from the whole of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast district of Tyre and Sidon,
| ܕܐܬܘ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܬܗ ܘܕܢܬܐܤܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܐܠܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ | 18 |
who had come to hear him and to be restored to health. Those, too, who were troubled with foul spirits were cured;
| ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ | 19 |
and everyone in the crowd was trying to touch him, because a power went out from him which restored them all.
| ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܕܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 20 |
Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
| ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܦܢܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܤܒܥܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܠܕܒܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܓܚܟܘܢ | 21 |
Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
| ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܦܩܝܢ ܫܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܝܫܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ | 22 |
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and insult you, and reject your name as an evil thing – because of the Son of Man.
| ܚܕܘ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܕܘܨܘ ܕܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܠܢܒܝܐ | 23 |
Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
| ܒܪܡ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܒܘܝܐܟܘܢ | 24 |
But alas for you who are rich, for you have had your comforts in full.
| ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܥܐ ܕܬܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܕܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܐܒܠܘܢ | 25 |
Alas for you who are sated now, for you will hunger. Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
| ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ | 26 |
Alas for you when everyone speaks well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
| ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ | 27 |
But to you who hear I say – love your enemies, show kindness to those who hate you,
| ܘܒܪܟܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܛܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ | 28 |
bless those who curse you, pray for those who insult you.
| ܘܠܕܡܚܐ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܦܟܟ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܡܪܛܘܛܟ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܘܬܝܢܟ | 29 |
When someone gives one of you a blow on the cheek, offer the other cheek as well; and, when anyone takes away your cloak, do not keep back your coat either.
| ܠܟܠ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܟ ܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܥ | 30 |
Give to everyone who asks of you; and, when anyone takes away what is yours, do not demand its return.
| ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܟܘܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 31 |
Do to others as you wish them to do to you.
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ | 32 |
If you love only those who love you, what thanks will be due to you? Why, even the outcast love those who love them!
| ܘܐܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܐܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ | 33 |
For, if you show kindness only to those who show kindness to you, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast do that!
| ܘܐܢ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܢܬܦܪܥܘܢ | 34 |
If you lend only to those from whom you expect to get something, what thanks will be due to you? Even the outcast lend to the outcast in the hope of getting as much in return!
| ܒܪܡ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܛܐܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܘܙܦܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܦܤܩܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܤܓܝ ܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܪܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܦܘܪܐ | 35 |
But love your enemies, and show them kindness, and lend to them, never despairing. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the thankless and the bad.
| ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܗܘ | 36 |
Learn to be merciful – even as your Father is merciful.
| ܠܐ ܬܕܘܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܪܘ ܘܬܫܬܪܘܢ | 37 |
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
| ܗܒܘ ܘܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܝܠܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܪܩܝܥܬܐ ܘܡܫܦܥܬܐ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܥܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܟܝܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܬܬܟܝܠ ܠܟܘܢ | 38 |
Give, and others will give to you. A generous measure, pressed and shaken down, and running over, will they pour into your lap; for the standard you use will be the standard used for you.’
| ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܤܡܝܐ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ | 39 |
Then, speaking in parables, Jesus said, ‘Can one blind person guide another? Will they not both fall into a ditch?
| ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܓܡܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ | 40 |
A student is not above their teacher; yet every finished student will be like their teacher.
| ܡܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܠܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ | 41 |
And why do you look at the speck of sawdust in someone’s eye, while you pay no attention at all to the plank of wood in your own?
| ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܐܚܝ ܫܒܘܩ ܐܦܩ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܗܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܢܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܦܩ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ | 42 |
How can you say to your friend “Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,” while you yourself do not see the plank in your own? Hypocrite! Take out the plank from your own eye first, and then you will see clearly how to take out the speck in your friend’s.
| ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܛܒܐ | 43 |
There is no such thing as a good tree bearing worthless fruit, or, on the other hand, a worthless tree bearing good fruit.
| ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܛܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܒܐ ܬܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܤܢܝܐ ܩܛܦܝܢ ܥܢܒܐ | 44 |
For every tree is known by its own fruit. People do not gather figs off thorn bushes, nor pick a bunch of grapes off a bramble.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠܢ ܤܦܘܬܐ | 45 |
A good person, from the good stores of their heart, brings out what is good; while a bad person, from their bad stores, brings out what is bad. For what fills someone’s heart will rise to their lips.
| ܡܢܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܪܝ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 46 |
Why do you call me “Master! Master!” and yet fail to do what I tell you?
| ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܡܐ | 47 |
Everyone who comes to me and listens to my teaching and acts on it – I will show you to whom they may be compared.
| ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܚܦܪ ܘܥܡܩ ܘܤܡ ܫܬܐܤܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܐ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܡܠܐܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܙܝܥܝܘܗܝ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܬܐܤܬܗ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ | 48 |
They may be compared to a person building a house, who dug, and went deep, and laid the foundation on the rock. Then, when a flood came, the river swept down on that house, but had no power to shake it, because it had been built well.
| ܘܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܗ ܥܠ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܒܗ ܢܗܪܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܢܦܠ ܘܗܘܬ ܡܦܘܠܬܗ ܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ | 49 |
But those who have listened and not acted on what they have heard may be compared to a person who built a house on the ground without any foundation. The river swept down on it, and the house immediately collapsed; and great was the crash that followed.’
