ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܢܫܐ ܐܫܬܥܒܕܝܢ ܠܒܥܠܝܟܝܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܡܠܬܐ ܒܕܘܒܪܝܟܝܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܡܠܐ ܬܩܢܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ | 1 |
Likewise, you wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may, without the word, be won by the conduct of their wives,
ܟܕ ܚܙܝܢ ܕܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ | 2 |
by observing your blameless and reverential conduct.
ܘܠܐ ܬܨܛܒܬܢ ܒܨܒܬܐ ܒܪܝܐ ܕܓܕܘܠܐ ܕܤܥܪܝܟܝܢ ܐܘ ܕܚܫܠܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܕܠܒܘܫܐ ܡܝܬܪܐ | 3 |
Let not your adorning be that which is outward, which consists in plaiting the hair, and wearing gold, and putting on apparel:
ܐܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܬܝܢ ܒܒܪܢܫܐ ܟܤܝܐ ܕܠܒܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܡܟܝܟܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܨܒܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܪ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ | 4 |
but let it be the hidden man of the heart, adorned with the incorruptible ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which, in the sight of God, is of great price.
ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܢܫܐ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܡܨܒܬܢ ܗܘܝ ܢܦܫܬܗܝܢ ܘܡܫܬܥܒܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܒܥܠܝܗܝܢ | 5 |
For, in former times, the holy women also, who trusted in God, thus adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands,
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܤܪܐ ܡܫܬܥܒܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܩܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܡܪܝ ܗܝ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܢܬܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥܢ ܐܢܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܚܠܐ | 6 |
as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: and you are her children, if you do good, and fear no dismay.
ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܡܪܘ ܥܡ ܢܫܝܟܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܐܢܐ ܡܚܝܠܐ ܒܐܝܩܪܐ ܐܚܘܕܘ ܐܢܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܝܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܝܪܬܢ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܡܬܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܨܠܘܬܟܘܢ | 7 |
Likewise, you husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, bestowing honor on the wife as the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered.
ܫܘܠܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܒܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܚܫܝܢ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܫܝܢ ܘܪܚܡܝܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܪܚܡܬܢܝܢ ܘܡܟܝܟܝܢ | 8 |
Finally, be all of the same mind, be sympathizing, lovers of the brethren, kind-hearted, humble-minded;
ܘܠܐܢܫ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܨܘܚܝܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܒܪܟܝܢ ܠܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܕܒܘܪܟܬܐ ܬܐܪܬܘܢ | 9 |
not repaying evil for evil, nor reviling for reviling, but, on the other hand, blessing, since you know that for this end you were called, that you might inherit blessing.
ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܝܐ ܘܪܚܡ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܛܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܛܪ ܠܫܢܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܤܦܘܬܗ ܠܐ ܢܡܠܠܢ ܢܟܠܐ | 10 |
For he that will love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile:
ܢܥܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܢܒܥܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܘܢܪܗܛ ܒܬܪܗ | 11 |
let him turn from evil and do good: let him seek peace, and pursue it.
ܡܛܠ ܕܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܘܐܕܢܘܗܝ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܦܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ | 12 |
For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry: but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.
ܘܡܢܘ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܛܢܢܐ ܕܛܒܬܐ | 13 |
And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?
ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܬܚܫܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܕܚܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܓܫܘܢ | 14 |
But yet, if you even suffer for righteousness, happy are you. Yet fear not their terror, nor be troubled:
ܐܠܐ ܩܕܫܘ ܒܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܩ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܠܟܠ ܕܬܒܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܟܘܢ ܒܡܟܝܟܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܚܠܬܐ | 15 |
but reverence the Lord God in your hearts, and be always ready to answer every one that asks of you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܛܠܡܝܢ ܠܕܘܒܪܝܟܘܢ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܕܒܡܫܝܚܐ | 16 |
having a good conscience, that, inasmuch as they speak against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who traduce your good con duct in Christ.
ܥܕܪܐ ܗܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܕܟܕ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܤܒܠܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ | 17 |
For it is better, if such be the will of God, that you suffer for doing good, than for doing evil.
ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܚܕܐ ܙܒܢ ܡܝܬ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܗܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܚܠܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܕܢܩܪܒܟܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܝܬ ܒܦܓܪ ܘܚܝܐ ܒܪܘܚ | 18 |
For Christ also once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, having been put to death in flesh, but made alive in spirit;
ܘܐܟܪܙ ܠܢܦܫܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܝܕܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܫܝܘܠ | 19 |
in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison,
ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܤ ܗܘܝ ܒܝܘܡܬܗ ܕܢܘܚ ܟܕ ܡܓܪܬ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܦܩܕܬ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܩܒܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܬܝܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܡܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܢܦܫܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܚܝܝ ܒܡܝܐ | 20 |
who formerly were disobedient, when the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while an ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were brought in safety through the water;
ܕܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܗ ܒܗܘ ܛܘܦܤܐ ܚܝܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܘ ܟܕ ܦܓܪܐ ܡܫܝܓܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܨܐܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܒܬܐܪܬܐ ܕܟܝܬܐ ܘܒܩܝܡܬܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ | 21 |
the likeness of which, even immersion, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the seeking of a good conscience toward God, ) does now also save us, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
ܗܘ ܕܐܬܥܠܝ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܬܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܘܚܝܠܘܬܐ | 22 |
who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having become subject to him.
