Chapter 1
ܦܘܠܘܣ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܘܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܣܒܪܢ
1 Paulus {Paul}, a Shlikha {a Sent One} of Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, by The Command of Alaha Makhyanan {God, Our Life Giver}, and of Meshikha Eshu Sabran {The Anointed One, Yeshua, Our Hope}.
ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܒܪܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܢ
2 Unto Timatheus {Timothy}: a true Son in The Haymanutha {The Faith}. Taybutha {Grace}, and Rakhme {Mercies}, and Shlama {Peace}, from Alaha Abun {God, Our Father}, and Meshikha Eshu Maran {The Anointed One, Yeshua, Our Lord}.
ܒܥܝܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܢܟ ܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܕܬܩܘܐ ܒܐܦܣܘܣ ܘܬܦܩܕ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܐ ܢܠܦܘܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ
3 I was requesting from you, when I departed unto Macedonia, that you remain in Ephesus, and to command certain men that they should not teach different doctrines,
ܘܠܐ ܢܬܪܡܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܘܠܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܣܟܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
4 and should not cast themselves unto fables, and unto accounts of generational lines, which have no end. For, these produce many contentions and not a building up in The Haymanutha d'Alaha {The Faith of God}.
ܣܟܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ
5 But, the goal of The Commandment, is Khuba {Love}, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from a true Haymanutha {Faith}.
ܘܡܢܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܥܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܣܛܘ ܠܡܠܐ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ
6 And from these, men have wandered, and turned aside unto empty words,
ܒܕܒܥܘ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܣܬܟܠܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܬܚܪܝܢ
7 in that they sought to be teachers of The Namusa {The Law} while not understanding a thing which they are speaking, and not a thing about what they are affirming.
ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܢܬܕܒܪ ܒܗ
8 Now, we are recognizing that The Namusa {The Law} is good, if a nash {a man} is guided by it according to The Namusa {The Law},
ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܠܟܐܢܐ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܠܐ ܣܝܡ ܐܠܐ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܠܡܪܘܕܐ ܘܠܪܫܝܥܐ ܘܠܚܛܝܐ ܘܠܥܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܟܝܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܡܗܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܩܛܘܠܐ
9 when he recognizes that for The Righteous, The Namusa {The Law} isn’t set up, but rather, for the unrighteous, and for the rebellious, and for the wicked, and for sinners, and for the perverse, and for those who are not cleansed; who strike at their fathers, and who strike at their mothers; and for murderers,
ܘܠܙܢܝܐ ܘܠܫܟܒܝ ܥܡ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܓܢܒܝ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܘܠܕܓܠܐ ܘܠܥܒܪܝ ܥܠ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܣܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ
10 and for fornicators, and for those who lie down with men, and for those stealing the sons of freemen, and for liars, and for transgressors of oaths, and for every thing that is contrary to The Sound Doctrine
ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ
11 of The Evangeliun {The Good Message} of The Glory of Alaha {God}, The Blessed; of which I have been entrusted.
ܘܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܚܝܠܢܝ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܚܫܒܢܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܣܡܢܝ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܗ
12 And I thank Him for strengthening me unto Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, who has reckoned me trustworthy, and ordained me for this Ministry;
ܠܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܡܓܕܦܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܪܕܘܦ ܘܡܨܥܪܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܚܢܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
13 unto me, who previously {lit. from before} was a blasphemer, and was a persecutor, and reviler. But rather, I found Mercy, because, while not knowing, I was doing it without Haymanutha {Faith}.
ܣܓܝܬ ܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
14 Yet, in me, The Taybutheh d'Maran {The Grace of Our Lord} increased, and The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and The Khuba {The Love} which is in Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}.
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ
15 Trustworthy is The Miltha {The Word}, and is worthy to be received: That Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One} came unto the world to grant Life unto Khataye {Sinners}; of whom I am the foremost.
ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܕܒܝ ܩܕܡܐ ܢܚܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܠܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ
16 But, because of this, Mercy was upon me, so that in me first, Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One} might entirely show His long-suffering Spirit, for an example of them who were destined that they might Trust in Him for The Life which is everlasting.
ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ
17 Yet, unto The Malka {The King}, who is everlasting, unto whom that is incorruptible, and isn't seen, who is The Only Alaha {God}, be Honor and Glory, for everlasting eternities! Amiyn {Amen}.
ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܓܥܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܪܝ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܐܝܟ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘܝ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܬܦܠܘܚ ܒܗܝܢ ܦܠܚܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ
18 This command I commit unto you, my son Timatheus {Timothy}, according to the former prophecies which were concerning you, so that you may serve in this good warfare;
ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܕܚܩܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܣܬܪܩܘ
19 in The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and in a good conscience, for, those who have thrust away from these have been emptied from The Haymanutha {The Faith},
ܐܝܟ ܗܘܡܢܐܘܣ ܘܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܠܣܛܢܐ ܕܢܬܪܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ
20 as Hymeneus and Alexander; these whom I delivered unto satana, so that they should be trained not to be blaspheming.
Chapter 2
ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܥܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܬܚܢܢܬܐ ܘܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ
1 I require out of you therefore, that before every thing, petition should be offered unto Alaha {God}, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving for all sons of men;
ܚܠܦ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܢܝܚܐ ܢܥܡܪ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܟܝܘܬܐ
2 for Kings and Chiefs; so that our habitation might be a calm and restful dwelling, in all reverence of Alaha {God}, and of purity;
ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ
3 for, this is good and acceptable before Alaha {God}, Our Life Giver,
ܗܘ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܢܚܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
4 who desires that all the sons of men might Live, and turn unto The Knowledge of The Truth.
ܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
5 For, Alaha {God} is One, and The Mediator of Alaha {God} and of the sons of men is One; The Son of Man, Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One},
ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܬ ܒܙܒܢܗ
6 who gave of His Soul: The Ransom for every nash {man}; The Testimony that came in its time,
ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܬܣܝܡܬ ܟܪܘܙܗ ܘܫܠܝܚܗ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
7 which I have been placed a Proclaimer and a Shlikha {a Sent One}. I speak truly, and don’t lie; I have been a Teacher of the Amme {the Peoples/Nations/Gentiles}, in The Haymanutha d'Shrara {The Faith of The Truth}.
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܟܕ ܡܪܝܡܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ
8 I desire therefore, that men should be praying in every place, while lifting up hands that are pure, without anger, and without reasoning.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܒܐܣܟܡܐ ܢܟܦܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܐ ܒܬܚܡܨܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܬܨܒܝܬܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܓܕܘܠܐ ܘܒܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܒܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܚܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ
9 Thus also, the women, in a modest form of clothing, in reverence and in modesty should be adorned, not in braids and in gold, or in pearls, or in beautiful garments,
ܐܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
10 but rather, in good works, as is fitting for women who profess The Reverence of Alaha {God}.
ܐܢܬܬܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܠܦܐ ܒܟܠ ܫܘܥܒܕ
11 The woman, in quietness, should be learning in all subjection.
ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܠܐ ܡܦܣ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܡܪܚܘ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ
12 For, a woman to teach, I don't permit, and not to be headstrong concerning the gabra {the man}, but rather, to be in silence.
ܐܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܒܠ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܚܘܐ
13 For, Adam was formed first, and then Khawa {Eve},
ܘܐܕܡ ܠܐ ܛܥܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܥܬ ܘܥܒܪܬ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ
14 and Adam wasn't deceived, but, the woman was deceived, and transgressed concerning The Commandment.
ܚܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܠܕܝܗ ܐܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ
15 Yet, she Lives by the hand of her children, if remaining in The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and in Khuba {Love}, and in Holiness, and in Modesty.
Chapter 3
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܪܐܓ ܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܪܐܓ
1 Trustworthy is the saying: “That if a nash {a man} desires The Qashishutha {The Office of an Elder/Priest}, he desires good works.”
ܘܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܘܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܘܗܘܐ ܒܥܠܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܥܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܗ ܘܢܟܦ ܘܡܛܟܣ ܘܪܚܡ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܘܡܠܦܢ
2 And yet, it is proper that he who is a Qashisha {an Elder/Priest}, should be found with no blemish in him, and be the husband of one wife, who is watchful of mind, and modest, and composed, and shows mercy to strangers, and instructive,
ܘܠܐ ܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܡܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܟܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܢܨܝ ܘܠܐ ܪܚܡ ܟܣܦܐ
3 and not transgressing concerning wine, and not of a swift hand to strike, but rather, should be gentle, and not contentious, and not a lover of money,
ܘܡܕܒܪ ܒܝܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܘܐܚܝܕ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܒܫܘܥܒܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܟܝܘܬܐ
4 and leading his house {i.e. family} well, and holding his sons in obedience, in all purity.
ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܕܢܕܒܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܕܒܪ
5 For, if he doesn't know how to lead the house of his own soul well, how is he able to lead The Edtheh d'Alaha {The Assembly of God}?
ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܐ ܬܘܠܡܕܗ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܘܢܦܠ ܒܕܝܢܗ ܕܣܛܢܐ
6 And he should not be a young Talmiyda {Disciple}; not exalting him, lest he fall in that judgment of satana {the adversary}.
ܘܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܒܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܚܣܕܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܕܣܛܢܐ
7 Yet, it is proper for him that there is also a good testimony from the outsiders, of not falling in disgrace and in the snare of satana {the adversary}.
ܘܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܟܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܨܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܪܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܪܚܡܘܢ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܛܢܦܐ
8 And thus also The Mashamshane {The Ministers/The Deacons} must be pure, and not be double speaking, and not inclined unto much wine, and not lovers of impure profit,
ܐܠܐ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ
9 but rather, holding The Raza d'Haymanutha {The Mystery of The Faith} in a conscience of purity.
ܘܗܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܬܒܩܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܫܡܫܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ
10 And these are to be examined beforehand, and afterwards should Minister, when they are of no blame.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܢܟܦܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܗܝܢ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܟܠܢ ܩܪܨܐ
11 Thus also, the women, being modest and being watchful of mind, and being trustworthy in every thing, and not being feeders of slander {i.e. gossipers}.
ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܕܒܪ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܝܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ
12 The Mashamshane {The Deacons/The Ministers} must be those which are of one wife, and in their home be good leaders unto their sons {i.e. children}.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܡܫܘ ܫܦܝܪ ܕܪܓܐ ܛܒܐ ܩܢܝܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܡܓܠܐ ܐܦܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
13 for, those who Minister well, obtain a good position for their souls, and much confidence {lit. boldness of face} in The Haymanutha d'Eshu Meshikha {The Faith of Yeshua, The Anointed One}.
ܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܟܕ ܡܣܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܥܓܠ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟ
14 These things I write unto you, while hoping that in haste I will come unto you,
ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܘܚܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܕܥ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܗܦܟܘ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܥܡܘܕܐ ܘܫܬܐܣܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
15 and yet, if it is that I am delayed, recognize how to properly conduct yourselves in The House of Alaha {God}, that is, The Edtha {The Assembly/Church} of The Living Alaha {God}; The Pillar and Foundation of The Truth.
ܘܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܐܪܙܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܓܠܝ ܒܒܣܪ ܘܐܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܘܚ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܬܟܪܙ ܒܝܬ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܣܬܠܩ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ
16 And truly, great is this Raza d'Kenutha {Mystery of Righteousness}; The One who was manifested in the flesh, and was justified in The Rukh {The Spirit}, and was seen of The Malake {The Heavenly Messengers}, and was Proclaimed among the Amme {the Peoples/Nations/Gentiles}, and was believed upon in the world, and has ascended up in Glory!
Chapter 4
ܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ
1 But, The Rukha {The Spirit} plainly speaks, that in the end times, certain men will depart from The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and go after wandering spirits, and after the doctrines of shide {demons}.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܣܟܡܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܡܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܘܟܘܝܢ ܒܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ
2 These who are in a false form, are deceived, and speak falsehood, and are seared in their conscience,
ܘܟܠܝܢ ܠܡܙܕܘܓܘ ܘܡܦܪܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐܟܠܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܚܘܫܚܐ ܘܠܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܫܪܪܐ
3 and are forbidding to marry, and are departing from meats, which Alaha {God} created to be used, and unto thanksgiving of those who believe and who recognize The Truth,
ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܒܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܣܠܝ ܐܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܢܬܢܣܒ
4 because all that is created, unto Alaha {God} is good, and there isn't a thing to be rejected, if in thanksgiving it is received.
ܡܬܩܕܫ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ
5 For, it is sanctified by The Miltha d'Alaha {The Word of God}, and by prayer.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܦ ܠܐܚܝܟ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܪܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ
6 If it be that you will teach these things unto your brothers, a good Mashamshana {Minister/Deacon} you will be of Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, while you increase in The Word of Faith, and in The Good Doctrine of which you have learned.
ܡܢ ܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܣܒܬܐ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܕܪܫ ܢܦܫܟ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ
7 But, from the foolish tales of old, abstain; inquiring and training your soul in Kenutha {Righteousness},
ܕܘܪܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܕܥܬܝܕ
8 for, the exercise of the body is a little time beneficial, yet, Kenutha {Righteousness} benefits in every thing, and is for The Promise of Life; of this time, and that which is to come.
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ
9 Trustworthy is The Miltha {The Word}, and is worthy to receive,
ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܘܡܬܚܣܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܣܒܪܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ
10 for, because of this, we toil and we are reviled; that we Hope in The Living Alaha {God}, who is The Life Giver of all the sons of men, especially of The Believers.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܦܩܕ
11 These things Teach, and Command.
ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܒܣܐ ܥܠ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܘܦܟܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ
12 And no nash {man} should despise you concerning your youth, but rather, be the pattern unto The Believers, in word, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity.
ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ
13 Until I come, you must exhort in Reading, and in Prayer, and in Teaching,
ܘܠܐ ܬܒܣܐ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܣܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ
14 and not be neglectful with The Gift which is in you, that was given unto you by Prophecy, and by The Anointed Hand of The Qashishutha {The Eldership/The Priesthood}.
ܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܗܓܐ ܘܒܗܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ
15 In these things, meditate, and be in them, so that every nash {man} might recognize that you are going forward.
ܘܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܢܦܫܟ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܟ ܘܚܡܣܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܥܒܕ ܢܦܫܟ ܬܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܟ
16 And take heed in your soul, and persist in The Teaching, for, when these are performed, your soul will Live, and for those who are hearing you!
Chapter 5
ܒܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܓܥܘܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܝܣܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܝܟ
1 With regard to a Qashisha {an Elder}, do not rebuke, but rather, persuade him as of a father, and unto those of the youth, as unto brothers,
ܘܠܩܫܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܘܬܟ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܟܝܘܬܐ
2 and unto the Qashishatha {the female Elders}, as mothers, and unto those who are of the young women, as of sisters; in all purity.
ܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܒܫܪܪܐ
3 Unto widows, honor those who are in truth {i.e. truly} widows.
ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܐܠܦܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܒܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܢܙܕܕܩܘܢ ܘܢܦܪܥܘܢ ܚܘܒܠܐ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
4 And if there is a widow who has a son, or a son of a son {i.e. children or grand-children}, let them first learn that as sons in their house {i.e. children in their family}, they should be righteous, and repay the reward unto their fathers {i.e. parents}; for, this is acceptable before Alaha {God}.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܡܫܘܚܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܣܒܪܗ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܝܢܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ
5 Yet, she who is truly a widow, and desolate, this one has hope concerning Alaha {God}, and is constant in prayers, and in petitions in the night and in the daytime.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܠܚܐ ܐܣܛܪܢܝܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܟܕ ܚܝܐ
6 But, she who labors for luxury, is dead while she lives.
ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܦܩܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
7 These things are a Command for them, so that they are not accused.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܨܦ ܗܢܐ ܟܦܪ ܠܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܫ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ
8 For, if a nash {a man}, who, of his own family, and especially of them who are sons in The House of Faith {i.e. The Believers}, isn't caring for them, this one has denied The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and is worse than those who are not Believers.
ܗܘܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܓܒܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܬ
9 Therefore, be choosing the widow who is not less than sixty years old, who has been of one gabra {man i.e. husband},
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܢ ܪܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܩܒܠܬ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܐܪܘܚܬ ܠܐܠܝܨܐ ܐܢ ܗܠܟܬ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ
10 and unto whom is the testimony of good works; if she has brought up sons {i.e. children}; if she has taken in strangers; if she has washed the feet of The Qadishe {The Holy Ones/The Saints}; if she has relieved the afflicted; if she has walked in every good work.
ܡܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ
11 Yet, from the widows who are younger, refuse, for concerning Meshikha {The Anointed One}, they break from, and seek to be with a gabra {i.e. a husband},
ܘܕܝܢܗܝܢ ܩܝܡ ܗܘ ܕܛܠܡ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ
12 and their judgment is valid; those who reject their former Faith.
ܝܠܦܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܟܪܟܢ ܒܝܬ ܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܣܓܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܘܢܦܪܩܢ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܢܡܠܠܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ
13 But, they also learn laziness, while moving around between houses; and not only laziness, but also multiplied words, and pursuing vanity, and speaking things which are not proper.
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܢܙܕܘܓܢ ܘܢܐܠܕܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܕܒܪܢ ܒܬܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܨܘܚܝܬܐ
14 I therefore desire that those who are of the youth, should marry, and bear sons {i.e. children}, and conduct their houses, and should not give unto the enemy even one occasion of reviling.
ܥܠ ܕܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܝܘ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܠܡܣܛܐ ܒܬܪ ܣܛܢܐ
15 For, concerning this, certain men have now begun to turn aside after satana {the adversary}.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܢܬܪܣܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܩܪܢ ܥܠ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܬܣܦܩ
16 If a Believing man, or a Believing woman has widows, they should be supporting them, and not be a burden on The Edtha {The Assembly}, so that those who are truly widows will have sufficiency.
ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܡܬܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܦܝܦܐ ܢܫܘܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ
17 The Qashishe {The Elders} who conduct themselves well, are worthy unto double honor, especially those who labor in The Miltha {The Word} and in The Teaching.
ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܒܠܘܡ ܬܘܪܐ ܒܕܪܟܬܐ ܘܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ
18 For, The Kathaba {The Scripture} says: “Don’t muzzle the Ox in the treading out,” and, “Worthy is the laborer of his pay.”
ܥܠ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܩܛܓܪܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܒܠ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܦܘܡ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܣܗܕܝܢ
19 Concerning a Qashisha {an Elder}, don’t receive an accusation, unless by the mouth of two and three witnesses.
ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܛܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ
20 Those who sin, rebuke before all men, so that the rest of the men also might fear.
ܡܣܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܛܪ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܩܕܡ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܠܡܕܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܣܥܘܪ ܡܕܡ ܒܡܣܒ ܒܐܦܐ
21 I Testify unto you before Alaha {God}, and Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, and Malakuhi Gabaya {His Elect Heavenly Messengers}: as for these things, observe, and don’t be prejudiced in your mind unto anything, and don’t do a thing with the acceptance of persons.
ܐܝܕܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܣܝܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܛܪ ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ
22 Don’t quickly put The Hand upon a nash {a man}, and don’t partake in the sins of strangers; guarding your soul in purity,
ܘܡܟܝܠ ܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܗܘܝܬ ܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܣܛܘܡܟܟ ܘܡܛܠ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܟ ܐܡܝܢܐ
23 and henceforth don’t drink water, but rather, be drinking a little wine, because of your stomach, and because of your constant illnesses.
ܐܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ
24 There are sons of men whose sins are recognized, and they go before them unto The House of Judgment, and there are some which go after {follow} them.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܛܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ
25 Thus also are good works recognized, and those which are otherwise are not able to be hidden.
Chapter 6
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܢܝܪܐ ܕܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܐܝܩܪ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܡܬܓܕܦ
1 Those who are under the yoke of servant-hood {i.e. slavery}, unto their lords/masters they should hold them in all honor, so that it not be The Name of Alaha {God}, and His Teaching, which is blasphemed.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܐܢܒܣܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܐܚܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܫܡܫܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܬܢܝܚܝܢ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܒܥܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ
2 Yet, unto those whom are Believing lords/masters; they should not despise them, since they are their brothers, but rather, abundantly minister unto them, since they are Believers and beloved, who are comforted by their ministering. These things teach, and require of them.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܠܦ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܩܪܒ ܠܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
3 But, if there is a nash {a man} who teaches another doctrine, and isn't near unto The Sound Words of Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, and unto The Teaching of The Fear of Alaha {God},
ܗܢܐ ܡܬܬܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܕܪܫܐ ܘܒܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܡܢܗܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܣܡܐ ܘܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܡܣܡ ܒܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ
4 this one exalts himself while not knowing a thing, but rather, is weak in disputation, and in questioning of words, which are from envy, and contention, and blasphemy, and in giving place unto an evil mind,
ܘܫܚܩܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܓܠܝܙܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܣܒܪܝܢ ܕܬܓܘܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ
5 and the vexation of the sons of men, whose minds are corrupted and deprived from The Truth, and who think The Fear of Alaha {God} is for material profit. But, you must depart from these ones,
ܬܐܓܘܪܬܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܫܚܬܐ ܕܡܣܬܢ
6 for, our own profit is greater, which is of The Fear of Alaha {God} in the need of sufficiency,
ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܐܥܠܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ
7 for, we didn’t bring a thing to this world, and certainly of nothing from it are able to take out.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܣܦܩܐ ܠܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܬܟܣܝܬܐ
8 Because of this, sufficient for us is food and covering.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܥܬܪ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܒܢܣܝܘܢܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܘܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܣܟܠܢ ܘܡܣܓܦܢ ܘܡܛܒܥܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܘܒܐܒܕܢܐ
9 Yet, those who desire to be rich, fall into trials, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and are drowning the sons of men in corruption, and in destruction,
ܥܩܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܪܚܡܬ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܥܘ ܘܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܥܠܘ ܠܕܘܘܢܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ
10 for, the root of all evils is the love of money, and there are men who have lusted for it, and from The Haymanutha {The Faith} have wandered, and their souls have been brought unto many miseries.
ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܪܘܩ ܘܗܪܛ ܒܬܪ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܣܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ
11 But you, O son of man of Alaha {God}, flee from these things, and run after Zadiyqutha {Righteousness}, and after Kenutha {Justice}, and after Haymanutha {Faith}, and after Khuba {Love}, and after Masaybranutha {Patience}, and after Makiykutha {Humility},
ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܕܪܟ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܣܗܕܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ
12 and strive in the good struggle of The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and attain The Life which is everlasting, that unto which you were called, and confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
ܡܣܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܐ ܟܠ ܘܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܣܗܕ ܩܕܡ ܦܢܛܝܘܣ ܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ
13 I testify unto you before Alaha {God}, who is The Life of everything, and Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, who testified The Good Testimony before Pantius Pilatus {Pontius Pilate},
ܕܬܛܪܝܘܗܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
14 that you shall observe The Commandment without impurity, and without blemish, until The Revealing of Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One},
ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܢܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܘܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܘܬܐ
15 of whom, Alaha {God} had destined to reveal, in time; The Blessed and only Mighty One, The King of kings, and The Lord of lords;
ܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܥܡܪ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܬܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܘܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܨܐ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ
16 who alone is incorruptible, and dwells in The Light which no man is able to come near. And no man from the sons of men has seen Him; not even able to see Him! Unto whom is honor and authority, unto everlasting eternities. Amiyn {Amen}.
ܠܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܟܠܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܟܠ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܢܝܚܢ
17 Unto the rich of this world, these Command not to be exalted in their minds, and not be confident concerning riches, of which concerning, there is no confidence. But rather, concerning The Living Alaha {God}, who gives unto all abundant rest,
ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܢܥܬܪܘܢ ܒܣܘܥܪܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܠܝܠܝܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܘܠܡܫܬܘܬܦܘ
18 and performing good works, and rich in good endeavors, and being easy to give, and to share,
ܘܢܣܝܡܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܫܬܐܣܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܪܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ
19 and place unto their souls a good foundation unto the thing which is destined, so that they may attain True Life.
ܐܘ ܛܝܡܬܐܐ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܓܥܠ ܠܟ ܘܥܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܢܬ ܩܠܐ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܦܟܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ
20 Oh! Timathe {Timothy}, be careful in the thing entrusted unto you, and flee from the uttering voice of vanities, and from the principles of false knowledge {i.e. the Gnostic heresies},
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܛܥܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ
21 for, those who profess it, have wandered from The Haymanutha {The Faith}. Taybutha {Grace} be with you. Amiyn {Amen}.

Chapter 1
ܦܘܠܘܣ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ ܘܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܣܒܪܢ
1 Paulus {Paul}, a Shlikha {a Sent One} of Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, by The Command of Alaha Makhyanan {God, Our Life Giver}, and of Meshikha Eshu Sabran {The Anointed One, Yeshua, Our Hope}.
ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܒܪܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܪܢ
2 Unto Timatheus {Timothy}: a true Son in The Haymanutha {The Faith}. Taybutha {Grace}, and Rakhme {Mercies}, and Shlama {Peace}, from Alaha Abun {God, Our Father}, and Meshikha Eshu Maran {The Anointed One, Yeshua, Our Lord}.
ܒܥܝܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܢܟ ܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܕܬܩܘܐ ܒܐܦܣܘܣ ܘܬܦܩܕ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܐ ܢܠܦܘܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ
3 I was requesting from you, when I departed unto Macedonia, that you remain in Ephesus, and to command certain men that they should not teach different doctrines,
ܘܠܐ ܢܬܪܡܘܢ ܠܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܘܠܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܕܫܪܒܬܐ ܕܣܟܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܪܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܠܐ ܒܢܝܢܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
4 and should not cast themselves unto fables, and unto accounts of generational lines, which have no end. For, these produce many contentions and not a building up in The Haymanutha d'Alaha {The Faith of God}.
ܣܟܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ
5 But, the goal of The Commandment, is Khuba {Love}, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from a true Haymanutha {Faith}.
ܘܡܢܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܛܥܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܣܛܘ ܠܡܠܐ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ
6 And from these, men have wandered, and turned aside unto empty words,
ܒܕܒܥܘ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܣܬܟܠܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܬܚܪܝܢ
7 in that they sought to be teachers of The Namusa {The Law} while not understanding a thing which they are speaking, and not a thing about what they are affirming.
ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܟܘܬܗ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܢܬܕܒܪ ܒܗ
8 Now, we are recognizing that The Namusa {The Law} is good, if a nash {a man} is guided by it according to The Namusa {The Law},
ܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܕܠܟܐܢܐ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܠܐ ܣܝܡ ܐܠܐ ܠܥܘܠܐ ܘܠܡܪܘܕܐ ܘܠܪܫܝܥܐ ܘܠܚܛܝܐ ܘܠܥܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܟܝܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܝܢ ܠܐܡܗܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܩܛܘܠܐ
9 when he recognizes that for The Righteous, The Namusa {The Law} isn’t set up, but rather, for the unrighteous, and for the rebellious, and for the wicked, and for sinners, and for the perverse, and for those who are not cleansed; who strike at their fathers, and who strike at their mothers; and for murderers,
ܘܠܙܢܝܐ ܘܠܫܟܒܝ ܥܡ ܕܟܪܐ ܘܠܓܢܒܝ ܒܢܝ ܚܐܪܐ ܘܠܕܓܠܐ ܘܠܥܒܪܝ ܥܠ ܡܘܡܬܐ ܘܠܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܣܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܠܝܡܐ
10 and for fornicators, and for those who lie down with men, and for those stealing the sons of freemen, and for liars, and for transgressors of oaths, and for every thing that is contrary to The Sound Doctrine
ܕܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܗܝܡܢܬ
11 of The Evangeliun {The Good Message} of The Glory of Alaha {God}, The Blessed; of which I have been entrusted.
ܘܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܚܝܠܢܝ ܠܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܚܫܒܢܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܣܡܢܝ ܠܬܫܡܫܬܗ
12 And I thank Him for strengthening me unto Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, who has reckoned me trustworthy, and ordained me for this Ministry;
ܠܝ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܡܓܕܦܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܪܕܘܦ ܘܡܨܥܪܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܬܚܢܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܠܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
13 unto me, who previously {lit. from before} was a blasphemer, and was a persecutor, and reviler. But rather, I found Mercy, because, while not knowing, I was doing it without Haymanutha {Faith}.
ܣܓܝܬ ܒܝ ܕܝܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܚܘܒܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
14 Yet, in me, The Taybutheh d'Maran {The Grace of Our Lord} increased, and The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and The Khuba {The Love} which is in Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}.
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܕܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ
15 Trustworthy is The Miltha {The Word}, and is worthy to be received: That Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One} came unto the world to grant Life unto Khataye {Sinners}; of whom I am the foremost.
ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܕܒܝ ܩܕܡܐ ܢܚܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܠܬܚܘܝܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܒܗ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ
16 But, because of this, Mercy was upon me, so that in me first, Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One} might entirely show His long-suffering Spirit, for an example of them who were destined that they might Trust in Him for The Life which is everlasting.
ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܠܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ
17 Yet, unto The Malka {The King}, who is everlasting, unto whom that is incorruptible, and isn't seen, who is The Only Alaha {God}, be Honor and Glory, for everlasting eternities! Amiyn {Amen}.
ܗܢܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܡܓܥܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܒܪܝ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܐܝܟ ܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܗܘܝ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܬܦܠܘܚ ܒܗܝܢ ܦܠܚܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ
18 This command I commit unto you, my son Timatheus {Timothy}, according to the former prophecies which were concerning you, so that you may serve in this good warfare;
ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܕܚܩܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܐܣܬܪܩܘ
19 in The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and in a good conscience, for, those who have thrust away from these have been emptied from The Haymanutha {The Faith},
ܐܝܟ ܗܘܡܢܐܘܣ ܘܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܫܠܡܬ ܠܣܛܢܐ ܕܢܬܪܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܓܕܦܝܢ
20 as Hymeneus and Alexander; these whom I delivered unto satana, so that they should be trained not to be blaspheming.
Chapter 2
ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܥܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܬܚܢܢܬܐ ܘܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ
1 I require out of you therefore, that before every thing, petition should be offered unto Alaha {God}, and prayer, and intercession, and thanksgiving for all sons of men;
ܚܠܦ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܢܝܚܐ ܢܥܡܪ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܟܝܘܬܐ
2 for Kings and Chiefs; so that our habitation might be a calm and restful dwelling, in all reverence of Alaha {God}, and of purity;
ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ
3 for, this is good and acceptable before Alaha {God}, Our Life Giver,
ܗܘ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܢܚܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
4 who desires that all the sons of men might Live, and turn unto The Knowledge of The Truth.
ܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
5 For, Alaha {God} is One, and The Mediator of Alaha {God} and of the sons of men is One; The Son of Man, Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One},
ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܬ ܒܙܒܢܗ
6 who gave of His Soul: The Ransom for every nash {man}; The Testimony that came in its time,
ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܬܣܝܡܬ ܟܪܘܙܗ ܘܫܠܝܚܗ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
7 which I have been placed a Proclaimer and a Shlikha {a Sent One}. I speak truly, and don’t lie; I have been a Teacher of the Amme {the Peoples/Nations/Gentiles}, in The Haymanutha d'Shrara {The Faith of The Truth}.
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܟܕ ܡܪܝܡܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ
8 I desire therefore, that men should be praying in every place, while lifting up hands that are pure, without anger, and without reasoning.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܒܐܣܟܡܐ ܢܟܦܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܐ ܒܬܚܡܨܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܬܨܒܝܬܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܓܕܘܠܐ ܘܒܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܒܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܚܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ
9 Thus also, the women, in a modest form of clothing, in reverence and in modesty should be adorned, not in braids and in gold, or in pearls, or in beautiful garments,
ܐܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
10 but rather, in good works, as is fitting for women who profess The Reverence of Alaha {God}.
ܐܢܬܬܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܠܦܐ ܒܟܠ ܫܘܥܒܕ
11 The woman, in quietness, should be learning in all subjection.
ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܠܐ ܡܦܣ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܡܪܚܘ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ
12 For, a woman to teach, I don't permit, and not to be headstrong concerning the gabra {the man}, but rather, to be in silence.
ܐܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܒܠ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܚܘܐ
13 For, Adam was formed first, and then Khawa {Eve},
ܘܐܕܡ ܠܐ ܛܥܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܥܬ ܘܥܒܪܬ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ
14 and Adam wasn't deceived, but, the woman was deceived, and transgressed concerning The Commandment.
ܚܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܠܕܝܗ ܐܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ
15 Yet, she Lives by the hand of her children, if remaining in The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and in Khuba {Love}, and in Holiness, and in Modesty.
Chapter 3
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܪܐܓ ܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܪܐܓ
1 Trustworthy is the saying: “That if a nash {a man} desires The Qashishutha {The Office of an Elder/Priest}, he desires good works.”
ܘܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܘܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܬܟܚ ܒܗ ܘܗܘܐ ܒܥܠܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܥܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܗ ܘܢܟܦ ܘܡܛܟܣ ܘܪܚܡ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܘܡܠܦܢ
2 And yet, it is proper that he who is a Qashisha {an Elder/Priest}, should be found with no blemish in him, and be the husband of one wife, who is watchful of mind, and modest, and composed, and shows mercy to strangers, and instructive,
ܘܠܐ ܥܒܪ ܥܠ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܪܗܛܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܠܡܡܚܐ ܐܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܟܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܢܨܝ ܘܠܐ ܪܚܡ ܟܣܦܐ
3 and not transgressing concerning wine, and not of a swift hand to strike, but rather, should be gentle, and not contentious, and not a lover of money,
ܘܡܕܒܪ ܒܝܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ ܘܐܚܝܕ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܒܫܘܥܒܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܟܝܘܬܐ
4 and leading his house {i.e. family} well, and holding his sons in obedience, in all purity.
ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܕܢܕܒܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܕܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܕܒܪ
5 For, if he doesn't know how to lead the house of his own soul well, how is he able to lead The Edtheh d'Alaha {The Assembly of God}?
ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܐ ܬܘܠܡܕܗ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܘܢܦܠ ܒܕܝܢܗ ܕܣܛܢܐ
6 And he should not be a young Talmiyda {Disciple}; not exalting him, lest he fall in that judgment of satana {the adversary}.
ܘܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܒܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܒܚܣܕܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܕܣܛܢܐ
7 Yet, it is proper for him that there is also a good testimony from the outsiders, of not falling in disgrace and in the snare of satana {the adversary}.
ܘܐܦ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܟܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܨܠܝܢ ܠܚܡܪܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܪܚܡܘܢ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܛܢܦܐ
8 And thus also The Mashamshane {The Ministers/The Deacons} must be pure, and not be double speaking, and not inclined unto much wine, and not lovers of impure profit,
ܐܠܐ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܐܪܙܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ
9 but rather, holding The Raza d'Haymanutha {The Mystery of The Faith} in a conscience of purity.
ܘܗܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܬܒܩܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܫܡܫܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ
10 And these are to be examined beforehand, and afterwards should Minister, when they are of no blame.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܢܟܦܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܗܝܢ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܐܟܠܢ ܩܪܨܐ
11 Thus also, the women, being modest and being watchful of mind, and being trustworthy in every thing, and not being feeders of slander {i.e. gossipers}.
ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܚܕܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܕܒܪ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܝܬܗ ܫܦܝܪ
12 The Mashamshane {The Deacons/The Ministers} must be those which are of one wife, and in their home be good leaders unto their sons {i.e. children}.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܫܡܫܘ ܫܦܝܪ ܕܪܓܐ ܛܒܐ ܩܢܝܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܡܓܠܐ ܐܦܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
13 for, those who Minister well, obtain a good position for their souls, and much confidence {lit. boldness of face} in The Haymanutha d'Eshu Meshikha {The Faith of Yeshua, The Anointed One}.
ܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܟܕ ܡܣܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܥܓܠ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬܟ
14 These things I write unto you, while hoping that in haste I will come unto you,
ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܘܚܪ ܐܢܐ ܕܬܕܥ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܗܦܟܘ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܥܡܘܕܐ ܘܫܬܐܣܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
15 and yet, if it is that I am delayed, recognize how to properly conduct yourselves in The House of Alaha {God}, that is, The Edtha {The Assembly/Church} of The Living Alaha {God}; The Pillar and Foundation of The Truth.
ܘܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܐܪܙܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܓܠܝ ܒܒܣܪ ܘܐܙܕܕܩ ܒܪܘܚ ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܐܬܟܪܙ ܒܝܬ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܐܬܗܝܡܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܣܬܠܩ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ
16 And truly, great is this Raza d'Kenutha {Mystery of Righteousness}; The One who was manifested in the flesh, and was justified in The Rukh {The Spirit}, and was seen of The Malake {The Heavenly Messengers}, and was Proclaimed among the Amme {the Peoples/Nations/Gentiles}, and was believed upon in the world, and has ascended up in Glory!
Chapter 4
ܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ
1 But, The Rukha {The Spirit} plainly speaks, that in the end times, certain men will depart from The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and go after wandering spirits, and after the doctrines of shide {demons}.
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܣܟܡܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܡܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܘܟܘܝܢ ܒܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ
2 These who are in a false form, are deceived, and speak falsehood, and are seared in their conscience,
ܘܟܠܝܢ ܠܡܙܕܘܓܘ ܘܡܦܪܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐܟܠܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܚܘܫܚܐ ܘܠܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܫܪܪܐ
3 and are forbidding to marry, and are departing from meats, which Alaha {God} created to be used, and unto thanksgiving of those who believe and who recognize The Truth,
ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܒܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܣܠܝ ܐܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܢܬܢܣܒ
4 because all that is created, unto Alaha {God} is good, and there isn't a thing to be rejected, if in thanksgiving it is received.
ܡܬܩܕܫ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ
5 For, it is sanctified by The Miltha d'Alaha {The Word of God}, and by prayer.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܦ ܠܐܚܝܟ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܪܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ
6 If it be that you will teach these things unto your brothers, a good Mashamshana {Minister/Deacon} you will be of Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, while you increase in The Word of Faith, and in The Good Doctrine of which you have learned.
ܡܢ ܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܣܒܬܐ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܕܪܫ ܢܦܫܟ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ
7 But, from the foolish tales of old, abstain; inquiring and training your soul in Kenutha {Righteousness},
ܕܘܪܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܕܥܬܝܕ
8 for, the exercise of the body is a little time beneficial, yet, Kenutha {Righteousness} benefits in every thing, and is for The Promise of Life; of this time, and that which is to come.
ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ
9 Trustworthy is The Miltha {The Word}, and is worthy to receive,
ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܘܡܬܚܣܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܣܒܪܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ
10 for, because of this, we toil and we are reviled; that we Hope in The Living Alaha {God}, who is The Life Giver of all the sons of men, especially of The Believers.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܦܩܕ
11 These things Teach, and Command.
ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܒܣܐ ܥܠ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܘܦܟܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ
12 And no nash {man} should despise you concerning your youth, but rather, be the pattern unto The Believers, in word, and in behavior, and in love, and in faith, and in purity.
ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ
13 Until I come, you must exhort in Reading, and in Prayer, and in Teaching,
ܘܠܐ ܬܒܣܐ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܣܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ
14 and not be neglectful with The Gift which is in you, that was given unto you by Prophecy, and by The Anointed Hand of The Qashishutha {The Eldership/The Priesthood}.
ܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܗܓܐ ܘܒܗܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܠܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ
15 In these things, meditate, and be in them, so that every nash {man} might recognize that you are going forward.
ܘܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܢܦܫܟ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܟ ܘܚܡܣܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܥܒܕ ܢܦܫܟ ܬܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܟ
16 And take heed in your soul, and persist in The Teaching, for, when these are performed, your soul will Live, and for those who are hearing you!
Chapter 5
ܒܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܓܥܘܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܝܣܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܝܟ
1 With regard to a Qashisha {an Elder}, do not rebuke, but rather, persuade him as of a father, and unto those of the youth, as unto brothers,
ܘܠܩܫܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܘܬܟ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܟܝܘܬܐ
2 and unto the Qashishatha {the female Elders}, as mothers, and unto those who are of the young women, as of sisters; in all purity.
ܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܒܫܪܪܐ
3 Unto widows, honor those who are in truth {i.e. truly} widows.
ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܐܠܦܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܒܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܢܙܕܕܩܘܢ ܘܢܦܪܥܘܢ ܚܘܒܠܐ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
4 And if there is a widow who has a son, or a son of a son {i.e. children or grand-children}, let them first learn that as sons in their house {i.e. children in their family}, they should be righteous, and repay the reward unto their fathers {i.e. parents}; for, this is acceptable before Alaha {God}.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܡܫܘܚܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܣܒܪܗ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܝܢܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ
5 Yet, she who is truly a widow, and desolate, this one has hope concerning Alaha {God}, and is constant in prayers, and in petitions in the night and in the daytime.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܠܚܐ ܐܣܛܪܢܝܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܟܕ ܚܝܐ
6 But, she who labors for luxury, is dead while she lives.
ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܦܩܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
7 These things are a Command for them, so that they are not accused.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܨܦ ܗܢܐ ܟܦܪ ܠܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܫ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ
8 For, if a nash {a man}, who, of his own family, and especially of them who are sons in The House of Faith {i.e. The Believers}, isn't caring for them, this one has denied The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and is worse than those who are not Believers.
ܗܘܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܓܒܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܬ
9 Therefore, be choosing the widow who is not less than sixty years old, who has been of one gabra {man i.e. husband},
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܢ ܪܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܩܒܠܬ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܐܪܘܚܬ ܠܐܠܝܨܐ ܐܢ ܗܠܟܬ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ
10 and unto whom is the testimony of good works; if she has brought up sons {i.e. children}; if she has taken in strangers; if she has washed the feet of The Qadishe {The Holy Ones/The Saints}; if she has relieved the afflicted; if she has walked in every good work.
ܡܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ
11 Yet, from the widows who are younger, refuse, for concerning Meshikha {The Anointed One}, they break from, and seek to be with a gabra {i.e. a husband},
ܘܕܝܢܗܝܢ ܩܝܡ ܗܘ ܕܛܠܡ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ
12 and their judgment is valid; those who reject their former Faith.
ܝܠܦܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܟܪܟܢ ܒܝܬ ܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܣܓܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܘܢܦܪܩܢ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܢܡܠܠܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ
13 But, they also learn laziness, while moving around between houses; and not only laziness, but also multiplied words, and pursuing vanity, and speaking things which are not proper.
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܢܙܕܘܓܢ ܘܢܐܠܕܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܕܒܪܢ ܒܬܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܨܘܚܝܬܐ
14 I therefore desire that those who are of the youth, should marry, and bear sons {i.e. children}, and conduct their houses, and should not give unto the enemy even one occasion of reviling.
ܥܠ ܕܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܝܘ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܠܡܣܛܐ ܒܬܪ ܣܛܢܐ
15 For, concerning this, certain men have now begun to turn aside after satana {the adversary}.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܢܬܪܣܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܩܪܢ ܥܠ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܬܣܦܩ
16 If a Believing man, or a Believing woman has widows, they should be supporting them, and not be a burden on The Edtha {The Assembly}, so that those who are truly widows will have sufficiency.
ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܡܬܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܦܝܦܐ ܢܫܘܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ
17 The Qashishe {The Elders} who conduct themselves well, are worthy unto double honor, especially those who labor in The Miltha {The Word} and in The Teaching.
ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܒܠܘܡ ܬܘܪܐ ܒܕܪܟܬܐ ܘܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ
18 For, The Kathaba {The Scripture} says: “Don’t muzzle the Ox in the treading out,” and, “Worthy is the laborer of his pay.”
ܥܠ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܩܛܓܪܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܒܠ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܦܘܡ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܣܗܕܝܢ
19 Concerning a Qashisha {an Elder}, don’t receive an accusation, unless by the mouth of two and three witnesses.
ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܛܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ
20 Those who sin, rebuke before all men, so that the rest of the men also might fear.
ܡܣܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܛܪ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܩܕܡ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܠܡܕܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܣܥܘܪ ܡܕܡ ܒܡܣܒ ܒܐܦܐ
21 I Testify unto you before Alaha {God}, and Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, and Malakuhi Gabaya {His Elect Heavenly Messengers}: as for these things, observe, and don’t be prejudiced in your mind unto anything, and don’t do a thing with the acceptance of persons.
ܐܝܕܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܣܝܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܛܪ ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ
22 Don’t quickly put The Hand upon a nash {a man}, and don’t partake in the sins of strangers; guarding your soul in purity,
ܘܡܟܝܠ ܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܗܘܝܬ ܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܣܛܘܡܟܟ ܘܡܛܠ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܟ ܐܡܝܢܐ
23 and henceforth don’t drink water, but rather, be drinking a little wine, because of your stomach, and because of your constant illnesses.
ܐܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ
24 There are sons of men whose sins are recognized, and they go before them unto The House of Judgment, and there are some which go after {follow} them.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܛܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ
25 Thus also are good works recognized, and those which are otherwise are not able to be hidden.
Chapter 6
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܢܝܪܐ ܕܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܐܝܩܪ ܢܐܚܕܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܡܬܓܕܦ
1 Those who are under the yoke of servant-hood {i.e. slavery}, unto their lords/masters they should hold them in all honor, so that it not be The Name of Alaha {God}, and His Teaching, which is blasphemed.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܐܢܒܣܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܐܚܝܗܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܫܡܫܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܬܢܝܚܝܢ ܒܬܫܡܫܬܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܒܥܝ ܡܢܗܘܢ
2 Yet, unto those whom are Believing lords/masters; they should not despise them, since they are their brothers, but rather, abundantly minister unto them, since they are Believers and beloved, who are comforted by their ministering. These things teach, and require of them.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܠܦ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܩܪܒ ܠܡܠܐ ܚܠܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
3 But, if there is a nash {a man} who teaches another doctrine, and isn't near unto The Sound Words of Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One}, and unto The Teaching of The Fear of Alaha {God},
ܗܢܐ ܡܬܬܪܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܟܪܝܗ ܒܕܪܫܐ ܘܒܒܥܬܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܕܡܢܗܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܚܣܡܐ ܘܚܪܝܢܐ ܘܓܘܕܦܐ ܘܡܣܡ ܒܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ
4 this one exalts himself while not knowing a thing, but rather, is weak in disputation, and in questioning of words, which are from envy, and contention, and blasphemy, and in giving place unto an evil mind,
ܘܫܚܩܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܠ ܪܥܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܓܠܝܙܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܣܒܪܝܢ ܕܬܓܘܪܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܪܚܩ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ
5 and the vexation of the sons of men, whose minds are corrupted and deprived from The Truth, and who think The Fear of Alaha {God} is for material profit. But, you must depart from these ones,
ܬܐܓܘܪܬܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܝܠܢ ܪܒܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܫܚܬܐ ܕܡܣܬܢ
6 for, our own profit is greater, which is of The Fear of Alaha {God} in the need of sufficiency,
ܡܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܐܥܠܢ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܘܝܕܝܥܐ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ
7 for, we didn’t bring a thing to this world, and certainly of nothing from it are able to take out.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܣܦܩܐ ܠܢ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܘܬܟܣܝܬܐ
8 Because of this, sufficient for us is food and covering.
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܥܬܪ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܒܢܣܝܘܢܐ ܘܒܦܚܐ ܘܒܪܓܝܓܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܣܟܠܢ ܘܡܣܓܦܢ ܘܡܛܒܥܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܚܒܠܐ ܘܒܐܒܕܢܐ
9 Yet, those who desire to be rich, fall into trials, and into snares, and into many lusts which are foolish and hurtful, and are drowning the sons of men in corruption, and in destruction,
ܥܩܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܪܚܡܬ ܟܣܦܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܐܬܪܓܪܓܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܥܘ ܘܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܐܥܠܘ ܠܕܘܘܢܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ
10 for, the root of all evils is the love of money, and there are men who have lusted for it, and from The Haymanutha {The Faith} have wandered, and their souls have been brought unto many miseries.
ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܪܘܩ ܘܗܪܛ ܒܬܪ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܣܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ
11 But you, O son of man of Alaha {God}, flee from these things, and run after Zadiyqutha {Righteousness}, and after Kenutha {Justice}, and after Haymanutha {Faith}, and after Khuba {Love}, and after Masaybranutha {Patience}, and after Makiykutha {Humility},
ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܕܪܟ ܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܩܪܝܬ ܘܐܘܕܝܬ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܣܗܕܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ
12 and strive in the good struggle of The Haymanutha {The Faith}, and attain The Life which is everlasting, that unto which you were called, and confessed a good confession before many witnesses.
ܡܣܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܐ ܟܠ ܘܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܣܗܕ ܩܕܡ ܦܢܛܝܘܣ ܦܝܠܛܘܣ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ
13 I testify unto you before Alaha {God}, who is The Life of everything, and Eshu Meshikha {Yeshua, The Anointed One}, who testified The Good Testimony before Pantius Pilatus {Pontius Pilate},
ܕܬܛܪܝܘܗܝ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܛܘܠܫܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܘܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
14 that you shall observe The Commandment without impurity, and without blemish, until The Revealing of Maran Eshu Meshikha {Our Lord Yeshua, The Anointed One},
ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܢܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܒܪܟܐ ܘܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܘܬܐ
15 of whom, Alaha {God} had destined to reveal, in time; The Blessed and only Mighty One, The King of kings, and The Lord of lords;
ܗܘ ܕܗܘ ܒܠܚܘܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠ ܘܥܡܪ ܒܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܕܢܬܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܘܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܨܐ ܠܡܚܙܝܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ
16 who alone is incorruptible, and dwells in The Light which no man is able to come near. And no man from the sons of men has seen Him; not even able to see Him! Unto whom is honor and authority, unto everlasting eternities. Amiyn {Amen}.
ܠܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܒܪܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܟܠܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܘܬܪܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܟܠ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܢܝܚܢ
17 Unto the rich of this world, these Command not to be exalted in their minds, and not be confident concerning riches, of which concerning, there is no confidence. But rather, concerning The Living Alaha {God}, who gives unto all abundant rest,
ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܢܥܬܪܘܢ ܒܣܘܥܪܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܕܠܝܠܝܢ ܠܡܬܠ ܘܠܡܫܬܘܬܦܘ
18 and performing good works, and rich in good endeavors, and being easy to give, and to share,
ܘܢܣܝܡܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܫܬܐܣܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܪܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ
19 and place unto their souls a good foundation unto the thing which is destined, so that they may attain True Life.
ܐܘ ܛܝܡܬܐܐ ܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܓܥܠ ܠܟ ܘܥܪܘܩ ܡܢ ܒܢܬ ܩܠܐ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܗܦܟܬܐ ܕܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ
20 Oh! Timathe {Timothy}, be careful in the thing entrusted unto you, and flee from the uttering voice of vanities, and from the principles of false knowledge {i.e. the Gnostic heresies},
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܛܥܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܥܡܟ ܐܡܝܢ
21 for, those who profess it, have wandered from The Haymanutha {The Faith}. Taybutha {Grace} be with you. Amiyn {Amen}.
