Luke 6

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 While he was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them.	1 ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܗܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܝܬ ܙܪܥܐ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܠܓܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܒܠܐ ܘܦܪܟܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܟܠܝܢ ܀
2 Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?"	2 ܐܢܫܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܀
3 Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you not read what David did when he and those (who were) with him were hungry?	3 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܕܐ ܩܪܝܬܘܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܕܘܝܕ ܟܕ ܟܦܢ ܗܘ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܀
4 (How) he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions."	4 ܕܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܐܟܠ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܠܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܀
5 Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath."	5 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀
6 On another sabbath he went into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.	6 ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܫܒܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܕܗ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܀
7 The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.	7 ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܐܤܐ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܀
8 But he realized their intentions and said to the man with the withered hand, "Come up and stand before us." And he rose and stood there.	8 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܡܚܫܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܝܕܗ ܩܘܡ ܬܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܨܥܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܘܩܡ ܀
9 Then Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?"	9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܐܫܐܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܒܫܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܘ ܕܒܝܫ ܢܦܫܐ ܠܡܚܝܘ ܐܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܀
10 Looking around at them all, he then said to him, "Stretch out your hand." He did so and his hand was restored.	10 ܘܚܪ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܦܫܘܛ ܐܝܕܟ ܘܦܫܛ ܘܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܗ ܐܝܟ ܚܒܪܬܗ ܀
11 But they became enraged and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.	11 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܕܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܀
12 In those days he departed to the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to God.	12 ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܠܡܨܠܝܘ ܘܬܡܢ ܐܓܗ ܗܘܐ ܒܨܠܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
13 When day came, he called his disciples to himself, and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named apostles:	13 ܘܟܕ ܢܓܗܬ ܩܪܐ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܓܒܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܬܪܥܤܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܫܡܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܀
14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,	14 ܫܡܥܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܡܝ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܢܕܪܐܘܤ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ ܀
15 Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon who was called a Zealot,	15 ܘܡܬܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܛܢܢܐ ܀
16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.	16 ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܪ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܤܟܪܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܡܫܠܡܢܐ ܀
17 And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground. A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon	17 ܘܢܚܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܡ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܘܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܤܦܪ ܝܡܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܕܨܝܕܢ ܀
18 came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.	18 ܕܐܬܘ ܕܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܠܬܗ ܘܕܢܬܐܤܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܪܗܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܐܠܨܝܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܀
19 Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him because power came forth from him and healed them all.	19 ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܐܤܐ ܗܘܐ ܀
20 And raising his eyes toward his disciples he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours.	20 ܘܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܕܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܗܝ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀
21 Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh.	21 ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܟܦܢܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܤܒܥܘܢ ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܠܕܒܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܓܚܟܘܢ ܀
22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.	22 ܛܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܚܤܕܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܡܦܩܝܢ ܫܡܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܝܫܐ ܚܠܦ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀
23 Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way.	23 ܚܕܘ ܒܗܘ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܕܘܨܘ ܕܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܤܓܝ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܀
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.	24 ܒܪܡ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܕܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܒܘܝܐܟܘܢ ܀
25 But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep.	25 ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܤܒܥܐ ܕܬܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܕܓܚܟܝܢ ܗܫܐ ܕܬܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܐܒܠܘܢ ܀
26 Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.	26 ܘܝ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܢܒܝܐ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܒܗܬܗܘܢ ܀
27 "But to you who hear I say, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,	27 ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܕܫܦܝܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܢܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.	28 ܘܒܪܟܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܝܛܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܨܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܀
29 To the person who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other one as well, and from the person who takes your cloak, do not withhold even your tunic.	29 ܘܠܕܡܚܐ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܦܟܟ ܩܪܒ ܠܗ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܡܪܛܘܛܟ ܠܐ ܬܟܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܘܬܝܢܟ ܀
30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and from the one who takes what is yours do not demand it back.	30 ܠܟܠ ܕܫܐܠ ܠܟ ܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܫܩܠ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܬܒܥ ܀
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.	31 ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܟܘܬ ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
32 For if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.	32 ܐܢ ܓܝܪ ܡܚܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܓܝܪ ܚܛܝܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܚܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܚܡܝܢ ܀
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do the same.	33 ܘܐܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܛܒ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܛܐܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܀
34 If you lend money to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit (is) that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, and get back the same amount.	34 ܘܐܢ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܢ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܘܙܦܝܢ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܢܬܦܪܥܘܢ ܀
35 But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.	35 ܒܪܡ ܐܚܒܘ ܠܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܛܐܒܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܘܙܦܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܦܤܩܘܢ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܤܓܝ ܐܓܪܟܘܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܪܡܐ ܕܗܘ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܥܠ ܒܝܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܦܘܪܐ ܀
36 Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.	36 ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܦ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܀
37 "Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.	37 ܠܐ ܬܕܘܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܬܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܫܪܘ ܘܬܫܬܪܘܢ ܀
38 Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you."	38 ܗܒܘ ܘܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܝܠܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܪܩܝܥܬܐ ܘܡܫܦܥܬܐ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܥܘܒܝܟܘܢ ܒܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܟܝܠܬܐ ܕܡܟܝܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܬܬܟܝܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܀
39 And he told them a parable, "Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?	39 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܡܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܤܡܝܐ ܠܤܡܝܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܘ ܠܐ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܒܓܘܡܨܐ ܢܦܠܝܢ ܀
40 No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.	40 ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܟܠܢܫ ܓܝܪ ܕܓܡܝܪ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ ܀
41 Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?	41 ܡܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܠܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܀
42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,' when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother's eye.	42 ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܘܟ ܐܚܝ ܫܒܘܩ ܐܦܩ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܗܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܒܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܠܟ ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܝܐ ܠܟ ܢܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܦܩ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܟ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܓܠܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܗ ܕܐܚܘܟ ܀
43 "A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.	43 ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܐܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܀
44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For people do not pick figs from thornbushes, nor do they gather grapes from brambles.	44 ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܦܐܪܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܡܬܝܕܥ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܠܩܛܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܘܒܐ ܬܐܢܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܢ ܤܢܝܐ ܩܛܦܝܢ ܥܢܒܐ ܀
45 A good person out of the store of goodness in his heart produces good, but an evil person out of a store of evil produces evil; for from the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks.	45 ܓܒܪܐ ܛܒܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܤܝܡܬܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܒܠܒܗ ܡܦܩ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܬܘܬܪܝ ܠܒܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܡܠܠܢ ܤܦܘܬܐ ܀
46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but not do what I command?	46 ܡܢܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܪܝ ܡܪܝ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀
47 I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them.	47 ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܡܠܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܕܡܐ ܀
48 That one is like a person building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built.	48 ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܚܦܪ ܘܥܡܩ ܘܤܡ ܫܬܐܤܐ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܠܐܐ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܡܠܐܐ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ ܕܢܙܝܥܝܘܗܝ ܤܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܫܬܐܤܬܗ ܥܠ ܫܘܥܐ ܀
49 But the one who listens and does not act is like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed."	49 ܘܗܘ ܕܫܡܥ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܕܡܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܒܢܐ ܒܝܬܗ ܥܠ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܬܐܤܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܛܪܝ ܒܗ ܢܗܪܐ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܢܦܠ ܘܗܘܬ ܡܦܘܠܬܗ ܪܒܐ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܀
