3

1ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܩܡܬܘܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܥܠ ܒܥܘ ܐܬܪ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
1If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2ܕܠܥܠ ܐܬܪܥܘ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܀
2Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3ܡܝܬܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܘܚܝܝܟܘܢ ܟܤܝܢ ܥܡ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܀
3For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4ܘܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܬܓܠܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܝܝܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܬܓܠܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܒܫܘܒܚܐ ܀
4When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
5ܐܡܝܬܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܕܒܐܪܥܐ ܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܘܟܐܒܐ ܘܪܓܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܥܠܘܒܘܬܐ ܕܗܝ ܗܝ ܕܚܠܬ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܀
5Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
6ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܐ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܒܢܝܗ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܢܘܬܐ ܀
6for which things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.
7ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܠܟܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܟܕ ܡܬܗܦܟܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܀
7You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;
8ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܝܚܘ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܚܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܘܬܐ ܓܘܕܦܐ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܛܢܦܐ ܀
8but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.
9ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܕܓܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ ܐܠܐ ܫܘܠܚܘܗܝ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܩܐ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܘܦܟܘܗܝ ܀
9Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,
10ܘܠܒܫܘ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܡܬܚܕܬ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܝܗ ܀
10and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,
11ܟܪ ܕܠܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܘܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܒܪܚܐܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܘܒܟܠܢܫ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘ ܀
11where there can’t be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondservant, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
12ܠܒܫܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܚܒܝܒܐ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܪܘܚܦܐ ܘܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܘܡܟܝܟܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܘܢܝܚܘܬܐ ܘܢܓܝܪܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܀
12Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance;
13ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܤܝܒܪܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܫܒܩܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܐܢܫ ܥܠ ܚܒܪܗ ܪܘܥܡܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܒܩ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܒܘܩܘ ܀
13bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
14ܘܥܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܘܒܐ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܚܙܩܐ ܕܓܡܝܪܘܬܐ ܀
14Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection.
15ܘܫܠܡܗ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܢܕܒܪ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܠܗ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܒܚܕ ܦܓܪ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.
16ܕܡܠܬܗ ܬܥܡܪ ܒܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܟܠ ܚܟܡܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܠܦܝܢ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܒܡܙܡܘܪܐ ܘܒܬܫܒܚܬܐ ܘܒܙܡܝܪܬܐ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܒܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܀
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.
17ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܤܥܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܥܒܕܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܒܐ ܀
17Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.
18ܢܫܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܩ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܀
18Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܒܘ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܪܝܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ ܀
19Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them.
20ܒܢܝܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܠܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܢ ܀
20Children, obey your parents in all things, for this pleases the Lord.
21ܐܒܗܐ ܠܐ ܬܪܓܙܘܢ ܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܥܝܩܘܢ ܀
21Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.
22ܥܒܕܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܘ ܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܠܡܪܝܟܘܢ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܠܐ ܒܡܚܙܐ ܥܝܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܦܪܝܢ ܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܠܒܐ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܀
22Servants, obey in all things those who are your masters according to the flesh, not just when they are looking, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
23ܘܟܠ ܕܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀
23And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,
24ܘܕܥܘ ܕܡܢ ܡܪܢ ܡܩܒܠܝܬܘܢ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܒܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܦܠܚܝܬܘܢ ܀
24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
25ܡܤܟܠܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܬܦܪܥ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܤܟܠ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܀
25But he who does wrong will receive again for the wrong that he has done, and there is no partiality.
