| 1 ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܫܠܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܦܩܕܘ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܫܢܝ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܘܠܡܟܪܙܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܀ | 1 And it happened that, when Jesus had completed instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from there in order to teach and to preach in their cities. |
| 2 ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܫܝܚܐ ܫܕܪ ܒܝܕ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀ | 2 Now when John had heard, in prison, about the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to him, |
| 3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܐܘ ܠܐܚܪܝܢ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܝܢ ܐܢܚܢܢ ܀ | 3 “Are you he who is to come, or should we expect another?” |
| 4 ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܐܫܬܥܘ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܀ | 4 And Jesus, responding, said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen. |
| 5 ܤܡܝܐ ܚܙܝܢ ܘܚܓܝܪܐ ܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܡܬܕܟܝܢ ܘܚܪܫܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܝܢ ܀ | 5 The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized. |
| 6 ܘܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܫܠ ܒܝ ܀ | 6 And blessed is he who has found no offense in me.” |
| 7 ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܫܪܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܩܢܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥ ܀ | 7 Then, after they departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind? |
| 8 ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫ ܗܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪܟܝܟܐ ܠܒܝܫܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܀ | 8 So what did you go out to see? A man in soft garments? Behold, those who are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings. |
| 9 ܘܐܠܐ ܡܢܐ ܢܦܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܀ | 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. |
| 10 ܗܢܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܠܐܟܝ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܨܘܦܟ ܕܢܬܩܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܀ | 10 For this is he, of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.’ |
| 11 ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܩܡ ܒܝܠܝܕܝ ܢܫܐ ܕܪܒ ܡܢ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܠܟܘܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܢܗ ܀ | 11 Amen I say to you, among those born of women, there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. |
| 12 ܡܢ ܝܘܡܝ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܥܡܕܢܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܐ ܘܩܛܝܪܢܐ ܡܚܛܦܝܢ ܠܗ ܀ | 12 But from the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven has endured violence, and the violent carry it away. |
| 13 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܐܘܪܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܀ | 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied, even until John. |
| 14 ܘܐܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܒܠܘ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܐܠܝܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܀ | 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come. |
| 15 ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܕܢܐ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܢܫܡܥ ܀ | 15 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear. |
| 16 ܠܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܕܡܝܗ ܠܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܠܛܠܝܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܘܩܐ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܀ | 16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace, |
| 17 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܙܡܪܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܪܩܕܬܘܢ ܘܐܠܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܩܕܬܘܢ ܀ | 17 who, calling out to their companions, say: ‘We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.’ |
| 18 ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܘܚܢܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܀ | 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ |
| 19 ܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܟܘܠܐ ܘܫܬܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܚܡܐ ܕܡܟܤܐ ܘܕܚܛܝܐ ܘܐܙܕܕܩܬ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܥܒܕܝܗ ܀ | 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, ‘Behold, a man who eats voraciously and who drinks wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is justified by her sons.” |
| 20 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܝ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܡܚܤܕܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܗܝܢ ܚܝܠܘܗܝ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܘ ܀ | 20 Then he began to rebuke the cities in which many of his miracles were accomplished, for they still had not repented. |
| 21 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܟܘܪܙܝܢ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܨܘܪ ܘܒܨܝܕܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝܢ ܟܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܒܤܩܐ ܘܒܩܛܡܐ ܬܒܘ ܀ | 21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in haircloth and ashes. |
| 22 ܒܪܡ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝܢ ܕܠܨܘܪ ܘܠܨܝܕܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝܢ ܀ | 22 Yet truly, I say to you, Tyre and Sidon shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment. |
| 23 ܘܐܢܬܝ ܟܦܪܢܚܘܡ ܗܝ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܐܬܬܪܝܡܬܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܝܘܠ ܬܬܚܬܝܢ ܕܐܠܘ ܒܤܕܘܡ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܘ ܒܟܝ ܩܝܡܐ ܗܘܬ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܀ | 23 And you, Capernaum, would you be exalted all the way to heaven? You shall descend all the way to Hell. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, perhaps it would have remained, even to this day. |
| 24 ܒܪܡ ܐܡܪܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܕܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܝ ܀ | 24 Yet truly, I say to you, that the land of Sodom shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.” |
| 25 ܒܗܘ ܙܒܢܐ ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܘܕܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܐܒܝ ܡܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܤܝܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܘܤܟܘܠܬܢܐ ܘܓܠܝܬ ܐܢܝܢ ܠܝܠܘܕܐ ܀ | 25 At that time, Jesus responded and said: “I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones. |
| 26 ܐܝܢ ܐܒܝ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܨܒܝܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܀ | 26 Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you. |
| 27 ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܫܬܠܡ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܐܒܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܠܒܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܒܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܐܒܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܪܐ ܘܠܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܢܓܠܐ ܀ | 27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him. |
| 28 ܬܘ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܝܐ ܘܫܩܝܠܝ ܡܘܒܠܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܢܝܚܟܘܢ ܀ | 28 Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you. |
| 29 ܫܩܘܠܘ ܢܝܪܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܝܠܦܘ ܡܢܝ ܕܢܝܚ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܟܝܟ ܐܢܐ ܒܠܒܝ ܘܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܢܝܚܐ ܠܢܦܫܬܟܘܢ ܀ 30 ܢܝܪܝ ܓܝܪ ܒܤܝܡ ܗܘ ܘܡܘܒܠܝ ܩܠܝܠܐ ܗܝ ܀ | 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. |
| 30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.” |
