< 1 Timothy 5 >

1 Rebuke not an Elder, but exhort him as a father, and the yonger men as brethren,
ܒܩܫܝܫܐ ܠܐ ܬܓܥܘܪ ܐܠܐ ܐܦܝܤܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܒܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܝܟ
2 The elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purenesse.
ܘܠܩܫܝܫܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܗܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐܚܘܬܟ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܟܝܘܬܐ
3 Honour widowes, which are widowes in deede.
ܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܝܩܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܒܫܪܪܐ
4 But if any widowe haue children or nephewes, let them learne first to shewe godlinesse towarde their owne house, and to recompense their kinred: for that is an honest thing and acceptable before God.
ܘܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܝ ܒܢܝܐ ܢܐܠܦܘܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܕܒܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܢܙܕܕܩܘܢ ܘܢܦܪܥܘܢ ܚܘܒܠܐ ܠܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
5 And shee that is a widowe in deede and left alone, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and praiers night and day.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܡܫܘܚܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܤܒܪܗ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܝܢܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܒܒܥܘܬܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܒܐܝܡܡܐ
6 But shee that liueth in pleasure, is dead, while shee liueth.
ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܠܚܐ ܐܤܛܪܢܝܐ ܡܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܟܕ ܚܝܐ
7 These things therefore warne them of, that they may be blamelesse.
ܗܠܝܢ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܦܩܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܪܫܝܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
8 If there bee any that prouideth not for his owne, and namely for them of his housholde, hee denieth the faith, and is worse then an infidell.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܝܠܗ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܝܨܦ ܗܢܐ ܟܦܪ ܠܗ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܫ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ
9 Let not a widow be taken into the number vnder three score yeere olde, that hath beene the wife of one husband,
ܗܘܝܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܓܒܐ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܠܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܬ
10 And well reported of for good woorkes: if shee haue nourished her children, if shee haue lodged the strangers, if shee haue washed the Saintes feete, if shee haue ministred vnto them which were in aduersitie, if shee were continually giuen vnto euery good woorke.
ܘܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܐܢ ܪܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܩܒܠܬ ܐܟܤܢܝܐ ܐܢ ܐܫܝܓܬ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܩܕܝܫܐ ܐܢ ܐܪܘܚܬ ܠܐܠܝܨܐ ܐܢ ܗܠܟܬ ܒܟܠ ܥܒܕ ܛܒ
11 But refuse the yonger widowes: for when they haue begun to waxe wanton against Christ, they will marrie,
ܡܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܐܫܬܐܠ ܡܨܛܪܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ
12 Hauing damnation, because they haue broken the first faith.
ܘܕܝܢܗܝܢ ܩܝܡ ܗܘ ܕܛܠܡ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܗܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ
13 And likewise also being idle they learne to goe about from house to house: yea, they are not onely ydle, but also pratlers and busibodies, speaking things which are not comely.
ܝܠܦܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܟܪܟܢ ܒܝܬ ܒܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܚܒܢܢܘܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܕܢܤܓܝܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܘܢܦܪܩܢ ܤܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܢܡܠܠܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܘܠܐ
14 I will therefore that the yonger women marie, and beare children, and gouerne the house, and giue none occasion to the aduersary to speake euill.
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܛܠܝܢ ܢܙܕܘܓܢ ܘܢܐܠܕܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܘܢܕܒܪܢ ܒܬܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܠܢ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܚܕܐ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܨܘܚܝܬܐ
15 For certaine are alreadie turned backe after Satan.
ܥܠ ܕܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܪܝܘ ܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܠܡܤܛܐ ܒܬܪ ܤܛܢܐ
16 If any faithfull man, or faithfull woman haue widowes, let them minister vnto them, and let not the Church bee charged, that there may bee sufficient for them that are widowes in deede.
ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܢܬܪܤܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܩܪܢ ܥܠ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܬܤܦܩ
17 The Elders that rule well, let them be had in double honour, specially they which labour in the worde and doctrine,
ܩܫܝܫܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܡܬܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܦܝܦܐ ܢܫܘܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐܝܢ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܘܒܝܘܠܦܢܐ
18 For the Scripture sayeth, Thou shalt not mousell the mouth of the oxe that treadeth out the corne: and, The labourer is worthie of his wages.
ܐܡܪ ܓܝܪ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܒܠܘܡ ܬܘܪܐ ܒܕܪܟܬܐ ܘܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܦܥܠܐ ܐܓܪܗ
19 Against an Elder receiue none accusation, but vnder two or three witnesses.
ܥܠ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܩܛܓܪܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܩܒܠ ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܦܘܡ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܬܠܬܐ ܤܗܕܝܢ
20 Them that sinne, rebuke openly, that the rest also may feare.
ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܚܛܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܢܫ ܟܘܢ ܕܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ
21 I charge thee before God and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these thinges without preferring one to an other, and doe nothing partially.
ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܬܛܪ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܩܕܡ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܠܡܕܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܥܘܪ ܡܕܡ ܒܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ
22 Lay handes suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other mens sinnes: keepe thy selfe pure.
ܐܝܕܐ ܒܥܓܠ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܤܝܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܬܦ ܒܚܛܗܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܛܪ ܒܕܟܝܘܬܐ
23 Drinke no longer water, but vse a litle wine for thy stomakes sake, and thine often infirmities.
ܘܡܟܝܠ ܡܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܫܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܩܠܝܠ ܗܘܝܬ ܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܤܛܘܡܟܟ ܘܡܛܠ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܟ ܐܡܝܢܐ
24 Some mens sinnes are open before hand, and goe before vnto iudgement: but some mens folowe after.
ܐܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܚܛܗܝܗܘܢ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܕܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ
25 Likewise also the good woorkes are manifest before hande, and they that are otherwise, cannot be hid.
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܝܕܝܥܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܚܪܢܝܐܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܛܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ
