1ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܚܒܪܟܘܢ ܘܤܗܕܐ ܕܚܫܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܫܘܬܦܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗ ܗܘ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܬܓܠܐ ܀
1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
2ܪܥܘ ܡܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܫܠܡܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܤܥܘܪܘ ܪܘܚܢܐܝܬ ܠܐ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܒܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܀
2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
3ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܪܥܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܀
3Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
4ܕܟܕ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܪܒ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܬܩܒܠܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܚܡܐ ܀
4And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܠܩܫܝܫܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܬܥܛܦܘ ܚܝܨܐܝܬ ܡܟܝܟܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܚܕܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܬܪܝܡܝܢ ܘܠܡܟܝܟܐ ܝܗܒ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܀
5Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6ܐܬܡܟܟܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܬܩܝܦܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܗܝ ܬܪܝܡܟܘܢ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܙܕܩ ܀
6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7ܘܨܦܬܟܘܢ ܟܠܗ ܫܕܘ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܗ ܒܛܝܠ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܀
7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8ܐܬܬܥܝܪܘ ܘܥܗܕܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܥܠܕܒܒܟܘܢ ܤܛܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܝܐ ܢܗܡ ܘܡܗܠܟ ܘܒܥܐ ܕܠܡܢܘ ܢܒܠܥ ܀
8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9ܩܘܡܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܩܘܒܠܗ ܟܕ ܡܫܪܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܕܥܘ ܕܐܦ ܥܠ ܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܫܐ ܥܪܨܝܢ ܀
9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܗܘ ܕܩܪܢ ܠܫܘܒܚܗ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܒܝܕ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܕܟܕ ܢܤܝܒܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܢܬܚܝܠ ܘܢܫܬܪܪ ܘܢܬܩܝܡ ܒܗ ܠܥܠܡ ܀
10But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11ܕܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܠܡܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
11To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
12ܗܠܝܢ ܙܥܘܪܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܟܬܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܤܠܘܢܘܤ ܐܚܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܘܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܀
12By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
13ܫܐܠܐ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܓܒܝܬܐ ܕܒܒܒܠ ܘܡܪܩܘܤ ܒܪܝ ܀
13The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
14ܫܐܠܘ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܚܕ ܕܚܕ ܒܢܘܫܩܬܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܀
14Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
