1 Corinthians 4
1 So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
| ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܚܫܝܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܪܒܝ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܪܙܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ |
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
| ܗܪܟܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܒܪܒܝ ܒܬܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܟܕ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܢܫܬܟܚ |
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
| ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܗܕܐ ܒܨܝܪܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ ܕܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܬܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܒܪ ܐܢܫ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ |
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
| ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܒܢܦܫܝ ܚܫܝܫ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܘ ܒܗܕܐ ܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܕܝܢܝ ܓܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ |
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢܗܪ ܟܤܝܬܗ ܕܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܓܠܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܕܠܒܘܬܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ |
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
| ܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܝ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܤܡܬ ܥܠ ܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܘܕܐܦܠܘ ܕܒܢ ܬܐܠܦܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܪܥܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܡܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܘܐܢܫ ܥܠ ܚܒܪܗ ܠܐ ܢܬܪܝܡ ܡܛܠ ܐܢܫ |
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
| ܡܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܨܟ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܒܬ ܘܐܢ ܢܤܒܬ ܠܡܢܐ ܡܫܬܒܗܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܤܒܬ |
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
| ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܤܒܥܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܥܬܪܬܘܢ ܘܒܠܥܕܝܢ ܐܡܠܟܬܘܢ ܐܫܬܘܦ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܠܟܬܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܢܡܠܟ ܥܡܟܘܢ |
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
| ܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܤܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܘܬܐ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܬܐܛܪܘܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ |
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
| ܚܢܢ ܫܛܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܢܢ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܫܬܒܚܝܢ ܘܚܢܢ ܡܨܛܥܪܝܢ |
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
| ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܕܐ ܫܥܬܐ ܟܦܢܝܢܢ ܘܨܗܝܢܢ ܘܥܪܛܠܝܝܢܢ ܘܡܬܩܦܚܝܢܢ ܘܒܝܬ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܢ |
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
| ܘܠܐܝܢܢ ܟܕ ܦܠܚܝܢܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܢ ܡܨܥܪܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܡܒܪܟܝܢܢ ܪܕܦܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܡܤܝܒܪܝܢܢ |
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
| ܡܨܚܝܢ ܠܢ ܘܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܦܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܟܘܦܪܐ ܕܟܠܢܫ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ |
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
| ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܒܗܬܟܘܢ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܡܪܬܐ ܐܢܐ |
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
| ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܪܒܘ ܬܪܐܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܒܗܐ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܘܠܕܬܟܘܢ ܒܤܒܪܬܐ |
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
| ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܒܝ ܬܬܕܡܘܢ |
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܪܝ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܕܗܘ ܢܥܗܕܟܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܬܝ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܠܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ |
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
| ܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܬܚܬܪܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ |
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
| ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܕܥ ܠܐ ܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܪܝܡܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܚܝܠܗܘܢ |
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
| ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ |
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
| ܐܝܟܢܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܘܛܪܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܘ ܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܪܘܚܐ ܡܟܝܟܬܐ |
