1ܡܟܝܠ ܐܚܝ ܒܥܝܢܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܡܬܟܫܦܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܡܢܢ ܐܝܟܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܬܫܦܪܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܬܘܤܦܘܢ ܀
1Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܝܗܒܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܀
2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3ܗܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܩܕܝܫܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܦܪܝܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܀
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4ܘܢܗܘܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܠܡܩܢܐ ܡܐܢܗ ܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܀
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5ܘܠܐ ܒܚܫܐ ܕܪܓܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܫܝܚܝܢ ܠܡܥܒܪ ܘܠܡܥܠܒ ܐܢܫ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܒܗܕܐ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܬܒܘܥܐ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܙܒܢܐ ܐܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܤܗܕܢ ܀
6That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܪܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܀
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8ܡܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܕܛܠܡ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܛܠܡ ܐܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܒܟܘܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܀
8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9ܥܠ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܚܐ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩܝܬܘܢ ܠܡܟܬܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܩܢܘܡܟܘܢ ܡܠܦܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܚܒܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܀
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10ܐܦ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܒܟܠܗ ܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܬܬܝܬܪܘܢ ܀
10And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11ܘܬܬܚܦܛܘܢ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܫܠܝܢ ܘܥܢܝܢ ܒܤܘܥܪܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܦܩܕܢܟܘܢ ܀
11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܠܘܬ ܒܪܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܤܬܢܩܘܢ ܀
12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܕܥܘܢ ܐܚܝ ܕܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܡܟܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܟܪܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܤܒܪܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܀
13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢܢ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܝܬ ܘܩܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܡܟܘ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܡܝܬܐ ܥܡܗ ܀
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܕܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܝܢܢ ܒܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܕܚܝܝܢܢ ܠܐ ܢܕܪܟ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܡܟܘ ܀
15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܡܪܢ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܘܒܩܠܐ ܕܪܝܫ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܒܩܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܚܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܀
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܝܢܢ ܕܚܝܝܢܢ ܢܬܚܛܦ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܒܥܢܢܐ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܒܐܐܪ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܥܡ ܡܪܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܀
17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܒܝܐܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܒܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܀
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
