< 1 Timothy 2 >

1 I exhort then, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all men;
ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢܟ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܒܥܘܬܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܩܪܒ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܨܠܘܬܐ ܘܬܚܢܢܬܐ ܘܬܘܕܝܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ
2 including kings and all who are in high station, in order that we may live peaceful and tranquil lives with all godliness and gravity.
ܚܠܦ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܪܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܢܝܚܐ ܢܥܡܪ ܒܟܠܗ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܟܝܘܬܐ
3 This is right, and is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour,
ܗܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܚܝܢܢ
4 who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.
ܗܘ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܢܚܘܢ ܘܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܠܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
5 For there is but one God and but one Mediator between God and men--Christ Jesus, Himself man;
ܚܕ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܚܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܥܝܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
6 who gave Himself as the redemption price for all--a fact testified to at its own appointed time,
ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܢܦܫܗ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܬ ܒܙܒܢܗ
7 and of which I have been appointed a herald and an Apostle (I am speaking the truth: it is not a fiction), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
ܗܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܬܤܝܡܬ ܟܪܘܙܗ ܘܫܠܝܚܗ ܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܕܓܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܘܝܬ ܡܠܦܢܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ
8 So then I would have the men everywhere pray, lifting to God holy hands which are unstained with anger or strife;
ܨܒܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܗܘܘ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܟܕ ܡܪܝܡܝܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܟܝܐܝܬ ܕܠܐ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ
9 and I would have the women dress becomingly, with modesty and self-control, not with plaited hair or gold or pearls or costly clothes,
ܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܒܐܤܟܡܐ ܢܟܦܐ ܕܠܒܘܫܐ ܒܬܚܡܨܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܬܨܒܝܬܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܓܕܘܠܐ ܘܒܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܒܡܪܓܢܝܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܢܚܬܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ
10 but--as befits women making a claim to godliness--with the ornament of good works.
ܐܠܐ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܝܐܐ ܠܢܫܐ ܕܡܫܬܘܕܝܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܐܠܗܐ
11 A woman should quietly learn from others with entire submissiveness.
ܐܢܬܬܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܠܦܐ ܒܟܠ ܫܘܥܒܕ
12 I do not permit a woman to teach, nor have authority over a man, but she must remain silent.
ܠܐܢܬܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܠܐ ܡܦܤ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܡܪܚܘ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܒܫܠܝܐ
13 For Adam was formed first, and then Eve;
ܐܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܐܬܓܒܠ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܚܘܐ
14 and Adam was not deceived, but his wife was thoroughly deceived, and so became involved in transgression.
ܘܐܕܡ ܠܐ ܛܥܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܛܥܬ ܘܥܒܪܬ ܥܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ
15 Yet a woman will be brought safely through childbirth if she and her husband continue to live in faith and love and growing holiness, with habitual self-restraint.
ܚܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܠܕܝܗ ܐܢ ܢܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܚܘܒܐ ܘܒܩܕܝܫܘܬܐ ܘܒܢܟܦܘܬܐ
