¹ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܤܗܕܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܥܢܢܐ ܚܕܝܪܝܢ ܠܢ ܢܫܕܐ ܡܢܢ ܟܠ ܝܘܩܪܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܡܛܝܒܐ ܗܝ ܠܢ ܘܒܡܤܝܒܪܢܘܬܐ ܢܪܗܛܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܓܘܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܤܝܡ ܠܢ ܀

¹Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

²ܘܢܚܘܪ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܕܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܓܡܘܪܐ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܢ ܕܚܠܦ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܤܝܒܪ ܨܠܝܒܐ ܘܥܠ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܐܡܤܪ ܘܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܟܘܪܤܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܝܬܒ ܀

²looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

³ܚܙܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܟܡܐ ܤܝܒܪ ܡܢ ܚܛܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܤܩܘܒܠܐ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܪܦܐ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܀

³For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

⁴ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܡܛܝܬܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܕܡܐ ܒܐܓܘܢܐ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܀

⁴You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin;

⁵ܘܛܥܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܒܢܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܕܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܦܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܡܢܗ ܡܬܟܘܢ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁵and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him;

⁶ܠܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܓܝܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܕܐ ܠܗ ܘܡܢܓܕ ܠܒܢܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘ ܨܒܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܀

⁶For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” Proverbs 3:11-12

⁷ܤܝܒܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܠܘܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܤܥܪ ܨܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܕܐ ܠܗ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܀

⁷It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline?

⁸ܘܐܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܝ ܕܒܗ ܡܬܪܕܐ ܟܠܢܫ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܢܝܐ ܀

⁸But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children.

⁹ܘܐܢ ܐܒܗܝܢ ܕܒܤܪܐ ܪܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢ ܘܒܗܬܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܕܢܫܬܥܒܕ ܠܐܒܘܗܝܢ ܕܪܘܚܬܐ ܘܢܚܐ ܀

⁹Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?

¹⁰ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܙܒܢ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪ ܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܪܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܢ ܕܢܫܬܘܬܦ ܠܩܕܝܫܘܬܗ ܀

¹⁰For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.

¹¹ܟܠ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܗ ܠܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܐ ܕܕܚܕܘܬܐ ܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܐܪܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܘܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܝܗܒܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܗ ܐܬܕܪܫܘ ܀

¹¹All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.

¹²ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܘܒܘܪܟܝܟܘܢ ܪܥܠܬܐ ܫܪܪܘ ܀

¹²Therefore lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, Isaiah 35:3

¹³ܘܫܒܝܠܐ ܬܪܝܨܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܕܗܕܡܐ ܕܚܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܢܛܥܫ ܐܠܐ ܢܬܐܤܐ ܀

¹³and make straight paths for your feet, Proverbs 4:26 so that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

¹⁴ܗܪܛܘ ܒܬܪ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܡ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܘܒܬܪ ܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܕܒܠܥܕܝܗ ܐܢܫ ܠܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܀

¹⁴Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,

¹⁵ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܙܗܝܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܟܚ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܚܤܝܪ ܡܢ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܘ ܕܠܡܐ ܥܩܪܐ ܕܡܪܪܐ ܢܦܩ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܘܢܗܪܟܘܢ ܘܒܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܢܤܬܝܒܘܢ ܀

¹⁵looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it;

¹⁶ܐܘ ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܫܬܟܚ ܒܟܘܢ ܕܙܢܝ ܘܪܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܤܘ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܙܒܢ ܒܘܟܪܘܬܗ ܀

¹⁶lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.

¹⁷ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܐܪܬ ܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܘܐܤܬܠܝ ܐܬܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܟܕ ܒܕܡܥܐ ܒܥܗ ܀

¹⁷For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

¹⁸ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܢܘܪܐ ܕܝܩܕܐ ܘܡܬܓܫܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܠܥܪܦܠܐ ܘܠܥܪܘܪܐ ܀

¹⁸For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm,

¹⁹ܘܠܐ ܠܩܠܐ ܕܩܪܢܐ ܘܠܩܠܐ ܕܡܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘܗܝ ܐܫܬܐܠܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܘܤܦ ܢܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀

¹⁹the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them,

²⁰ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܤܝܒܪܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܦܩܕܘ ܕܐܦܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܬܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬ ܛܘܪܐ ܬܬܪܓܡ ܀

²⁰for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned TR adds “or shot with an arrow” [see Exodus 19:12-13] ”; Exodus 19:12-13

²¹ܘܗܟܢܐ ܕܚܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܕܚܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܪܬܝܬ ܐܢܐ ܀

²¹and so fearful was the appearance, that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” Deuteronomy 9:19

²²ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ ܀

²²But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

²³ܘܠܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܘܟܪܐ ܕܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܠܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܟܠ ܘܠܪܘܚܬܐ ܕܟܐܢܐ ܕܐܬܓܡܪܘ ܀

²³to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

²⁴ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܠܪܤܤ ܕܡܗ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܛܒ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܗܒܝܠ ܀

²⁴to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, Jeremiah 31:31 and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.

²⁵ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܬܫܬܐܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܦܨܝܘ ܕܐܫܬܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܚܕ ܟܡܐ ܚܢܢ ܐܢ ܢܫܬܐܠ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁵See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven,

²⁶ܐܝܢܐ ܕܩܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܙܝܥ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܬܘܒ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܙܝܥ ܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܫܡܝܐ ܀

²⁶whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” Haggai 2:6

²⁷ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܡܪ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܡܚܘܝܐ ܫܘܚܠܦܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܬܙܝܥܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܝܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܩܘܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܙܝܥܝܢ ܀

²⁷This phrase, “Yet once more,” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain.

²⁸ܡܛܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܩܒܠܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܙܝܥܐ ܢܐܚܘܕ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܒܗ ܢܫܡܫ ܘܢܫܦܪ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܚܡܨܬܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܀

²⁸Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let us have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,

²⁹ܐܠܗܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܐܟܠܬܐ ܀

²⁹for our God is a consuming fire. Deuteronomy 4:24
