1 Timothy 4
1 However, the Spirit very clearly explains that in the last times some will abandon their trust in God, and will listen to deceptive spirits and beliefs that come from demons.
| ܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܫܝܩܐܝܬ ܐܡܪܐ ܕܒܙܒܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܢܦܪܩܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܥܝܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܫܐܕܐ |
2 These hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared,
| ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܡܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ ܘܟܘܝܢ ܒܬܐܪܬܗܘܢ |
3 tell people to not marry and not to eat certain foods made by God that should be accepted with thanks by those who trust and know the truth.
| ܘܟܠܝܢ ܠܡܙܕܘܓܘ ܘܡܦܪܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܐܟܠܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܪܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܚܘܫܚܐ ܘܠܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܘܝܕܥܝܢ ܫܪܪܐ |
4 Everything created by God is good, and nothing should be rejected but should be received with thanks,
| ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܒܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܤܠܝ ܐܢ ܒܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܢܬܢܤܒ |
5 since it is made sacred by the word of God and by prayer.
| ܡܬܩܕܫ ܓܝܪ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܨܠܘܬܐ |
6 If you point out these things to the brothers and sisters you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus. You gain strength by trusting in the truth, and in the good teaching you've followed.
| ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܦ ܠܐܚܝܟ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܪܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܠܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܝܠܝܦ ܐܢܬ |
7 Reject what is irreligious, and old wives' tales. Make sure your exercise is spiritual—
| ܡܢ ܫܘܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܤܒܬܐ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܘܕܪܫ ܢܦܫܟ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ |
8 for while physical exercise is useful to some extent, spiritual exercise is much more useful. For “it has promise for the present life, and for the life to come.”
| ܕܘܪܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܡܘܬܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܘܕܝܐ ܕܚܝܐ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܕܥܬܝܕ |
9 You can trust this saying that should be accepted by everyone.
| ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܘܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܡܩܒܠܘܬܗ |
10 The reason we work and do the best we can is because our hope is in the living God. He is the Savior of all people, especially of those who trust in him.
| ܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܐܝܢܢ ܘܡܬܚܤܕܝܢܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܝܢܢ ܒܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܚܝܢܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܐ |
11 This is what you should teach. Tell everyone to follow your instructions.
| ܗܠܝܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܦܩܕ |
12 Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. Be an example to those who trust in God—in the way you speak, the kind of life you live, in love, in trust, and in purity.
| ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܢܒܤܐ ܥܠ ܛܠܝܘܬܟ ܐܠܐ ܗܘܝ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܗܘܦܟܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ |
13 Until I get there, make sure you read the Scriptures to the church, and encourage them by your speaking and teaching.
| ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܚܦܛ ܒܩܪܝܢܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ |
14 Don't neglect the gracious gift you have that was given to you by prophetic inspiration when the church elders laid their hands on you.
| ܘܠܐ ܬܒܤܐ ܒܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܗܝ ܕܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܟ ܒܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ |
15 Think carefully about these things, and dedicate yourself completely to them so that everyone can see the progress you're making.
| ܒܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܗܓܐ ܘܒܗܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܕܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܕܠܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ |
16 Mind what you're doing and what you're teaching. Keep going with all of this, because as you do so you'll save both yourself and those who listen to you.
| ܘܐܙܕܗܪ ܒܢܦܫܟ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܟ ܘܚܡܤܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܬܥܒܕ ܢܦܫܟ ܬܚܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܟ |
