< Luke 12 >

1 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܪܒܘܬܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܕܝܫܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܫܪܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܚܡܝܪܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ
2 and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
ܠܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܡܛܫܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܝܕܥ
3 because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܒܢܗܝܪܐ ܢܫܬܡܥ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܒܬܘܢܐ ܒܐܕܢܐ ܠܚܫܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܓܪܐ ܢܬܟܪܙ
4 And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܪܚܡܝ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܛܠܝܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܠܡܥܒܕ
5 but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܩܛܠ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܪܡܝܘ ܒܓܗܢܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܕܚܠܘ (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
ܠܐ ܚܡܫ ܨܦܪܝܢ ܡܙܕܒܢܢ ܒܬܪܝܢ ܐܤܪܝܢ ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܛܥܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
7 but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢܐ ܕܤܥܪܐ ܕܪܫܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܨܦܪܐ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
8 And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܠ ܕܢܘܕܐ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ
9 and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܦܪ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܢܬܟܦܪ ܒܗ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܐܟܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ
10 and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
ܘܟܠ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܡܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܕܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܓܕܦ ܠܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܗ
11 And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
ܡܐ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܪܫܐ ܘܫܠܝܛܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܦܩܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܬܐܡܪܘܢ
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܢܠܦܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܘܠܐ ܕܬܐܡܪܘܢ
13 And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܗܘ ܟܢܫܐ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܝ ܦܠܓ ܥܡܝ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ
14 And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢܘ ܐܩܝܡܢܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܡܦܠܓܢܐ
15 And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܝܥܢܘܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬܝܪܘܬܐ ܕܢܟܤܐ ܐܝܬ ܚܝܐ
16 And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
ܘܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܥܠܬ ܠܗ ܐܪܥܗ ܥܠܠܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ
17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
ܘܡܬܚܫܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܝ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܚܡܘܠ ܥܠܠܬܝ
18 And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
ܘܐܡܪ ܗܕܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܐܤܬܘܪ ܒܝܬ ܩܦܤܝ ܘܐܒܢܐ ܘܐܘܪܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܚܡܘܠ ܬܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܒܘܪܝ ܘܛܒܬܝ
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܢܦܫܝ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܝ ܛܒܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܕܤܝܡܢ ܠܫܢܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܬܬܢܝܚܝ ܐܟܘܠܝ ܐܫܬܝ ܐܬܒܤܡܝ
20 And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܤܝܪ ܪܥܝܢܐ ܒܗܢܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܟ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܕܛܝܒܬ ܠܡܢ ܢܗܘܝܢ
21 So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܤܐܡ ܠܗ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܘܒܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܥܬܝܪ
22 And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܠܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܠܦܓܪܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܠܒܫܘܢ
23 life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
ܢܦܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܬܝܪܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܘܦܓܪܐ ܡܢ ܠܒܘܫܐ
24 Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
ܐܬܒܩܘ ܒܢܥܒܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܚܨܕܝܢ ܘܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܘܢܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܩܦܤܐ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܡܬܪܤܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܡܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܚܬܐ
25 And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܝܨܦ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܘܤܦܘ ܥܠ ܩܘܡܬܗ ܐܡܬܐ ܚܕܐ
26 If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܬܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܟܐ ܝܨܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
27 Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
ܐܬܒܩܘ ܒܫܘܫܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܪܒܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܠܐܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܙܠܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܒܟܠܗ ܫܘܒܚܗ ܐܬܟܤܝ ܐܝܟ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ
28 and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܥܡܝܪܐ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܚܩܠܐ ܘܡܚܪ ܢܦܠ ܒܬܢܘܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܒܫ ܟܡܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܙܥܘܪܝ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
29 And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܒܥܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܡܢܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܦܗܐ ܪܥܝܢܟܘܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ
30 for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
ܗܠܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܝܕܥ ܕܡܬܒܥܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ
31 but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
ܒܪܡ ܒܥܘ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܬܬܘܤܦܢ ܠܟܘܢ
32 Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܓܙܪܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ
33 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
ܙܒܢܘ ܩܢܝܢܟܘܢ ܘܗܒܘ ܙܕܩܬܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܝܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܠܝܢ ܘܤܝܡܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܓܝܙܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܓܢܒܐ ܠܐ ܩܪܒ ܘܤܤܐ ܠܐ ܡܚܒܠ
34 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
ܐܝܟܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܤܝܡܬܟܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܦ ܠܒܟܘܢ
35 Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܤܝܪܝܢ ܚܨܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܢܗܪܝܢ ܫܪܓܝܟܘܢ
36 and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
ܘܗܘܘ ܕܡܝܢ ܠܐܢܫܐ ܕܡܤܟܝܢ ܠܡܪܗܘܢ ܕܐܡܬܝ ܢܦܢܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܫܬܘܬܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܘܢܩܫ ܡܚܕܐ ܢܦܬܚܘܢ ܠܗ
37 Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
ܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܡܪܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܟܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܥܝܪܝܢ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܐܤܘܪ ܚܨܘܗܝ ܘܢܤܡܟ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܥܒܪ ܢܫܡܫ ܐܢܘܢ
38 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
ܘܐܢ ܒܡܛܪܬܐ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܐܘ ܕܬܠܬ ܢܐܬܐ ܘܢܫܟܚ ܗܟܢܐ ܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܢܘܢ
39 And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܘ ܕܐܠܘ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܡܪܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܢܒܐ ܡܬܬܥܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܬܦܠܫ ܒܝܬܗ
40 and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܘܘ ܡܛܝܒܐ ܕܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ
41 And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܡܪܢ ܠܘܬܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܬܠܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܘ ܐܦ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܢܫ
42 And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢܘ ܟܝ ܐܝܬ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܚܟܝܡܐ ܕܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܡܪܗ ܥܠ ܬܫܡܫܬܗ ܕܢܬܠ ܦܪܤܐ ܒܙܒܢܗ
43 Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܗܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܡܪܗ ܢܫܟܚܝܘܗܝ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ
44 truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܢܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܩܢܝܢܗ
45 And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܐܡܪ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܒܠܒܗ ܕܡܪܝ ܡܘܚܪ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܘܢܫܪܐ ܠܡܡܚܐ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܘܠܐܡܗܬܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܢܫܪܐ ܠܡܠܥܤ ܘܠܡܫܬܐ ܘܠܡܪܘܐ
46 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
ܢܐܬܐ ܡܪܗ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܤܒܪ ܘܒܫܥܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܘܢܦܠܓܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܤܝܡ ܡܢܬܗ ܥܡ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ
47 And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
ܥܒܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܕܥ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܛܝܒ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܢܒܠܥ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ
48 and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܘܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܡܚܘܬܐ ܢܒܠܥ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܬܐ ܟܠ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܤܓܝ ܢܬܬܒܥ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܗܘ ܕܐܓܥܠܘ ܠܗ ܤܓܝ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܬܒܥܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ
49 I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
ܢܘܪܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܟܕܘ ܚܒܬ
50 But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
ܘܡܥܡܘܕܝܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܥܡܕ ܘܤܓܝ ܐܠܝܨ ܐܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܫܬܡܠܐ
51 Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
ܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܫܝܢܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ
52 for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
ܡܢ ܗܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܚܡܫܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܕܦܠܝܓܝܢ ܬܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܬܪܝܢ ܘܬܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܬܠܬܐ
53 a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
ܢܬܦܠܓ ܓܝܪ ܐܒܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܗ ܘܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܐܡܐ ܥܠ ܒܪܬܗ ܘܒܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܡܗ ܚܡܬܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܬܗ ܘܟܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܡܬܗ
54 And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܥܢܢܐ ܕܕܢܚܐ ܡܢ ܡܥܪܒܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܪܐ ܐܬܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ
55 and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
ܘܡܐ ܕܢܫܒܐ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܘܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܗܘܐ
56 hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
ܢܤܒܝ ܒܐܦܐ ܦܪܨܘܦܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܕܫܡܝܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܦܪܫܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܦܪܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
57 And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
ܠܡܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܘܫܬܐ
58 For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
ܡܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܙܠ ܐܢܬ ܥܡ ܒܥܠܕܝܢܟ ܠܘܬ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܥܕ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܒ ܬܐܓܘܪܬܐ ܘܬܬܦܪܩ ܡܢܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܘܒܠܟ ܠܘܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܢܫܠܡܟ ܠܓܒܝܐ ܘܓܒܝܐ ܢܪܡܝܟ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ
59 I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܕܠܐ ܬܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܬܠ ܫܡܘܢܐ ܐܚܪܝܐ
