Prologue

“ܟܕ ܒܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܚܝܢܢ ܘܦܪܘܩܢ ܝܫܘܥ: ܕܒܣܒܪܬܗ ܠܘܬ ܩܕ̈ܝܫܘܗܝ ܡܣܬܟܠܝܢܢ ܕܐܡܪ: ܕܗܟܢܐ ܠܡ ܢܢܗܪ ܢܘܗܪܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ: ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟܘܢ ܛܒ̈ܐ: ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ...” 1
“When we considered the words of our Saviour and Redeemer Jesus in his preaching to his saints which he said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds, and glorify your Father who is in heaven…” 5
“Quand nous comprenons la parole de notre vivificateur et sauveur Jésus dans l’annonce qu’il a faite à ses saints: “Que votre lumière brille devant les hommes afin qu’ils voient vos bonnes oeuvres et qu’ils glorifient votre Père dans les cieux…” 1
