| 1 ܘܥܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܐܡܦܝܦܘܠܝܤ ܘܐܦܠܘܢܝܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀ | 1 And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. |
| 2 ܘܥܠ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܡܥܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܐ ܬܠܬ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܀ | 2 And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: |
| 3 ܟܕ ܡܦܫܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܚܘܐ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܢܚܫ ܘܕܢܩܘܡ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀ | 3 Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you. |
| 4 ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܢܩܦܘ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܠܫܝܠܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܦ ܢܫܐ ܝܕܝܥܬܐ ܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܀ | 4 And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few. |
| 5 ܘܚܤܡܘ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܩܦܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܫܘܩܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܐܟܠܘܤ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܕܠܚܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܘܩܡܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܐܝܤܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܟܠܘܤ ܀ | 5 But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason's house, sought to bring them out unto the people. |
| 6 ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܪܘܗܝ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܝܤܘܢ ܘܠܐܚܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܫܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܕ ܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܚܘ ܘܗܐ ܬܘܒ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܐܬܘ ܀ | 6 And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also; |
| 7 ܘܡܩܒܠܢܗܘܢ ܗܢܘ ܐܝܤܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܦܘܩܕܢܘܗܝ ܕܩܤܪ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܀ | 7 Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. |
| 8 ܐܬܕܠܚܘ ܕܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܀ | 8 And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things, |
| 9 ܘܢܤܒܘ ܥܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܤܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܫܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܀ | 9 And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go. |
| 10 ܐܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܒܗ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܫܪܘ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܠܫܝܠܐ ܠܒܪܘܐܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܘ ܠܬܡܢ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀ | 10 But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews. |
| 11 ܚܐܪܝܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܘܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ ܟܕ ܡܦܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܀ | 11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so. |
| 12 ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܝܘܢܝܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܢܫܐ ܝܕܝܥܬܐ ܀ | 12 And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few. |
| 13 ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܤܠܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܟܪܙܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܒܪܘܐܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܬܘ ܐܦ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܘ ܠܡܙܥܘ ܘܠܡܕܠܚܘ ܠܐܢܫܘܬܐ ܀ | 13 And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude. |
| 14 ܘܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܪܐܘܗܝ ܐܚܐ ܕܢܚܘܬ ܠܗ ܠܝܡܐ ܘܩܘܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܫܝܠܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܀ | 14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there. |
| 15 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܠܘܝܘ ܠܗ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܬܘ ܥܡܗ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܬܢܘܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܡܢ ܨܐܕܘܗܝ ܩܒܠܘ ܡܢܗ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܫܝܠܐ ܘܛܝܡܬܐܘܤ ܕܒܥܓܠ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܀ | 15 And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed. |
| 16 ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܕ ܡܩܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܬܢܘܤ ܡܬܡܪܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚܗ ܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܡܠܝܐ ܦܬܟܪܐ ܀ | 16 Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry. |
| 17 ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܫܘܩܐ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܤܬܩܒܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܀ | 17 He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there. |
| 18 ܘܐܦ ܦܝܠܤܘܦܐ ܕܡܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܗ ܕܐܦܝܩܘܪܤ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܝܢ ܤܛܘܐܝܩܘ ܕܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܨܒܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܠܩܛ ܡܠܐ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܡܟܪܙ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܠܩܝܡܬܗ ܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܀ | 18 And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection. |
| 19 ܘܐܚܕܘܗܝ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܪܝܘܤ ܦܓܘܤ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܠܡܕܥ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܕܡܟܪܙ ܐܢܬ ܀ | 19 And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of? |
| 20 ܡܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܙܪܥ ܐܢܬ ܒܡܫܡܥܬܢ ܘܨܒܝܢܢ ܠܡܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܀ | 20 For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. |
| 21 ܐܬܢܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܠܬܡܢ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܒܛܝܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܘܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܕܡ ܚܕܬ ܀ | 21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) |
| 22 ܘܟܕ ܩܡ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܐܪܝܘܤ ܦܓܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܬܢܝܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܕܚܠܬ ܫܐܕܐ ܀ | 22 But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. |
| 23 ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܒܝܬ ܕܚܠܬܟܘܢ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܥܠܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܓܢܝܙܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܀ | 23 For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you: |
| 24 ܐܠܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܒܕ ܥܠܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܡܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܐ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܪܐ ܀ | 24 God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; |
| 25 ܘܠܐ ܡܫܬܡܫ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܤܢܝܩ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܠܢܫ ܚܝܐ ܘܢܦܫܐ ܀ | 25 Neither is he served with men's hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things: |
| 26 ܘܡܢ ܚܕ ܕܡ ܥܒܕ ܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܥܡܪܝܢ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܦܪܫ ܙܒܢܐ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܗ ܘܤܡ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܀ | 26 And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation. |
| 27 ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܥܩܒܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܒܪܝܬܗ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܚܝܩ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܡܢܢ ܀ | 27 That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us: |
| 28 ܒܗ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܝܢܢ ܘܡܬܬܙܝܥܝܢܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܦ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܕܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܕܡܢܗ ܗܘ ܛܘܗܡܢ ܀ | 28 For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring. |
| 29 ܐܢܫܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܛܘܗܡܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܚܝܒܝܢܢ ܠܡܤܒܪ ܕܠܕܗܒܐ ܐܘ ܠܤܐܡܐ ܐܘ ܠܟܐܦܐ ܕܓܠܝܦܐ ܒܐܘܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܐܠܗܘܬܐ ܀ | 29 Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man. |
| 30 ܙܒܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܐܥܒܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܒܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܢܬܘܒ ܀ | 30 And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance. |
| 31 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܗ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܟܠܗ ܒܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܒܝܕ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܦܪܫ ܘܐܦܢܝ ܠܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܗܝܡܢܘܬܗ ܒܕܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܀ | 31 Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead. |
| 32 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܙܒܢ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܫܡܥܝܢܢ ܠܟ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܀ | 32 And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. |
| 33 ܘܗܟܢܐ ܢܦܩ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܀ | 33 So Paul went out from among them. |
| 34 ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܩܦܘܗܝ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܚܕ ܕܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢܘܤܝܘܤ ܡܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܤ ܦܓܘܤ ܘܐܢܬܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܪܝܤ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܀ | 34 But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. |
