¹ܘܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܫ ܒܐܬܢܘܤ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܢ ܀

¹Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;

²ܘܢܫܕܪ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܢ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܥܕܪܢܢ ܒܤܒܪܬܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܢܫܪܪܟܘܢ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

²And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:

³ܕܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܬܬܩܛܥ ܠܗ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܝܢܢ ܀

³That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

⁴ܐܦ ܟܕ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܡܢ ܐܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢܢ ܠܡܬܐܠܨܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܗܘܐ ܀

⁴For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.

⁵ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܚܡܤܢܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܫܕܪܬ ܕܐܕܥ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܕܠܡܐ ܢܢܤܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܤܝܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܡܠܢ ܤܪܝܩܐ ܀

⁵For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.

⁶ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܢ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܡܢ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܤܒܪܢ ܥܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܥܘܗܕܢܢ ܛܒܐ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܘܤܘܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

⁶But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:

⁷ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܒܝܐܢ ܒܟܘܢ ܐܚܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܩܬܢ ܘܐܘܠܨܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁷Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:

⁸ܘܗܫܐ ܗܘ ܚܝܝܢܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܩܝܡܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܀

⁸For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.

⁹ܐܝܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܚܠܦܝܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܚܕܝܢܢ ܡܛܠܬܟܘܢ ܀

⁹For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

¹⁰ܐܠܐ ܕܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܬܟܫܦ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܐܦܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܓܡܘܪ ܡܐ ܕܚܤܝܪܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁰Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

¹¹ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܬܪܘܨ ܐܘܪܚܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܀

¹¹Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.

¹²ܘܢܤܓܐ ܘܢܝܬܪ ܚܘܒܟܘܢ ܕܚܕ ܠܘܬ ܚܕ ܘܕܠܘܬ ܟܠܢܫ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܚܢܢ ܡܚܒܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹²And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:

¹³ܘܢܩܝܡ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܝܫܘܗܝ ܀

¹³To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
