1ܦܛܪܘܤ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܓܒܝܐ ܘܬܘܬܒܐ ܕܙܪܝܥܝܢ ܒܦܢܛܘܤ ܘܒܓܠܛܝܐ ܘܒܩܦܘܕܩܝܐ ܘܒܐܤܝܐ ܘܒܒܝܬܘܢܝܐ ܀
1Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܓܒܝܘ ܒܡܩܕܡܘܬ ܝܕܥܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܡܫܡܥܬܐ ܘܠܪܤܤ ܕܡܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܠܡܐ ܢܤܓܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀
2Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
3ܡܒܪܟ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܚܢܢܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܘܠܕܢ ܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܒܩܝܡܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܠܤܒܪܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܀
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4ܘܠܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܛܢܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܡܝܐ ܗܝ ܕܡܛܝܒܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܀
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5ܟܕ ܢܛܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܕܢܬܓܠܘܢ ܠܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܀
5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6ܕܒܗܘܢ ܬܚܕܘܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܐܦܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܬܬܥܝܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܤܝܘܢܐ ܡܫܚܠܦܐ ܕܥܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܀
6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܘܚܪܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܡܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܤܢܝܢܐ ܕܐܬܒܩܝ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܠܩܘܠܤܐ ܒܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܪܘܙܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܡܫܒܚܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܡܠܠܐ ܀
8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9ܕܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ ܀
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10ܗܢܘܢ ܚܝܐ ܕܥܩܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܥܠ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
10Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
11ܘܒܨܘ ܕܒܐܝܢܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܘܡܤܗܕܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܚܫܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܀
11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
12ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠ ܕܒܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܘ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܠܐ ܠܢ ܕܝܠܢ ܡܬܢܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܫܐ ܐܬܓܠܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܒܪܢܟܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܕܐܫܬܕܪ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܒܗܝܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܡܬܪܓܪܓܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܢܕܝܩܘܢ ܀
12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
13ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܙܘܩܘ ܚܨܐ ܕܬܪܥܝܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܓܡܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܤܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܓܠܝܢܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
14ܐܝܟ ܒܢܝܐ ܡܫܬܡܥܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܪܓܝܓܬܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܓܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܀
14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15ܐܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܦܟܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܕܝܫ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܩܪܟܘܢ ܀
15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16ܡܛܠ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܝܫ ܐܢܐ ܀
16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
17ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܒܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܘܕܐܢ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܐܬܕܒܪܘ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܬܘܬܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܀
17And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
18ܟܕ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܒܟܤܦܐ ܕܒܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܐܬܦܪܩܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܝܟܘܢ ܤܪܝܩܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܀
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19ܐܠܐ ܒܕܡܐ ܝܩܝܪܐ ܕܐܡܪܐ ܕܡܘܡܐ ܘܛܘܠܫܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20ܗܘ ܕܡܩܕܡ ܗܘܐ ܦܪܝܫ ܠܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܬܪܡܝܬܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܒܐܚܪܝܬܗܘܢ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀
20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܗܝܡܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܤܒܪܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܀
21Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
22ܟܕ ܢܗܘܝܢ ܩܕܝܫܢ ܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ ܒܡܫܬܡܥܢܘܬܗ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܢܗܘܝܢ ܡܠܝܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܓܡܝܪܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܀
22Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
23ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܪܝܫ ܐܬܝܠܕܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܒܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܠܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܀
23Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܐܝܘܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܕܚܩܠܐ ܝܒܫ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܚܡܐ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܀
24For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܘܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܤܬܒܪܬܘܢ ܀
25But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
