Isaiah 40

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.	1 ܒܝܐܘܗܝ ܒܝܐܘܗܝ ܠܥܡܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.	2 ܡܠܘ ܒܠܒܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܩܪܘ ܠܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܨܒܬ ܒܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܩܒܠܬ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܥܦܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܗ̇
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.	3 ܩܠܐ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܦܢܘ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܪܘܨܘ ܒܦܩܥܬܐ ܫܒ̈ܝܠܐ ܠܐܠܗܢ
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:	4 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܚ̈ܠܐ ܢܬܡܠܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܪ̈ܡܬܐ ܢܬܡܟܟܘܢ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܪܡܐ ܠܫܦܝܐ ܘܐܬܪܐ ܥܣܩܐ ܠܦܩܥܬܐ
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.	5 ܘܢܬܓܠܐ ܐܝܩܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܚܙܘܢܗ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:	6 ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡ̇ܪ ܩܪܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܐܩܪܐ ܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܝܐܝܘܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܕܚܩܠܐ
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.	7 ܐܝܒܫ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܚܡܐ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܫܒܬ ܒܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܡܝܪܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.	8 ܝܒ̇ܫ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܚ̇ܡܐ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!	9 ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܡܐ ܣܩܝ ܠܟܝ ܨܗܝܘܢ̈ ܡܣܒܪܬܐ ܐܪܝܡܝ ܩܠܟܝ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ̈ ܡܣܒܪܬܐ ܐܪܝܡܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܗܐ ܐܠܗܟܝܢ
10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.	10 ܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬ̇ܐ ܒܥܘܫܢܐ ܘܕܪܥܗ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܓܪܗ ܥܡܗ ܘܥ̇ܒܕܗ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.	11 ܐܝܟ ܪܥܝܐ ܕܪܥ̇ܐ ܠܓܙܪܗ ܘܒܕܪܥܗ ܡܟܢܫ ܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܚܢܗ ܫܩ̇ܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܕܡܝ̈ܢܩܢ ܡܬܪܣܐ
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?	12 ܡܢܘ ܐܟܝܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܫܘܥܠܗ ܘܫܡܝܐ ܡܫܚ ܒܙܪܬܗ ܘܐܟܝܠ ܒܙܘܪܗ ܥܦܪܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܩܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܒܡܬܩܠܐ ܘܪ̈ܡܬܐ ܒܡܣܐܬܐ
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him?	13 ܡܢܘ ܬܩܢ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܘ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܥܠ ܡܠ̣ܟܐ
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?	14 ܒܡܢܘ ܐܬܡܠܟ ܘܐܠܦܗ ܘܣܟܠܗ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܠܦܗ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܣܘܟܠܐ ܚܘܝܗ
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.	15 ܗܐ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܛܦܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܣܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܙܠܐ ܕܡܣܐܬܐ ܘܓܙܪ̈ܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܚܝܚܐ ܢܫ̈ܬܕܝܢ
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.	16 ܘܠܒܢܢ ܠܐ ܚܫܝܒ ܠܗ ܠܝܩܕܢܐ ܘܚܝܘܬܗ ܠܐ ܚܫܝܒܐ ܠܗ ܠܥܠܬܐ
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.	17 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܚܫܝܒܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ ܘܠܚܪܒܐ ܚܫܝܒܝܢ ܠܗ
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?	18 ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.	19 ܨܠܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܢܓܪܐ ܘܩܝܢܝܐ ܒܕܗܒܐ ܩܪܡܗ ܘܣܐܡܐ ܨܪܝܦܐ
20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.	20 ܩܒܥ ܒܗ ܦܪܝܫ ܗܘ ܩܝܣܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܒܠܛ ܘܓܒܐ ܢܓܪܐ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܓܠܦܗ ܘܡܬܩܢ ܨܠܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܙܐ̇ܥ
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?	21 ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܐܡܪ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܣܬܟܠܬܘܢ ܫܬܐ̈ܣܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:	22 ܘܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܬ̇ܒ ܥܠ ܚܘܓܬܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܐܝܟ ܩܡܨܐ ܕܡܬܚ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܠܝܬܒܐ
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.	23 ܕܥܒܕ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܐ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܘܕܝ̇ܢ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.	24 ܠܐ ܢܨܒܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܙܪܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܪܡܘܢ ܥܩܪܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܢܦܘܚ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܐܒܫܘܢ ܘܥܠܥܠܐ ܬܫܩܘܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܚܒܬܐ
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.	25 ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܕܦܚ̇ܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܩܕܝܫܐ
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.	26 ܐܪܝܡܘ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܪܘܡܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܡܢܘ ܒܪܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܦܩ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܪܐ ܫܡ̈ܗܐ ܒܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܗ ܘܒܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܛ̇ܥܐ
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?	27 ܠܡܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܡܛܫ̈ܝܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܝ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܥܒܪ ܕܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܝ
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.	28 ܠܐ ܝܕܥܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܪܐ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܪܦ ܘܠܐ ܠܐ̇ܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܘܕܩܐ ܠܣܘܟܠܗ
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.	29 ܝܗ̇ܒ ܚܝܠܐ ܠܡܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܘܠܡܟܐ̈ܒܝ ܟܐܒܐ ܡܣܓܐ ܥܘܫܢܐ
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:	30 ܢܬܛܪܦܘܢ ܥ̈ܠܝܡܐ ܘܢܠܐܘܢ ܘܓܕܘ̈ܕܐ ܡܬܬܩܠܘ ܢܬܬܩܠܘܢ
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.	31 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܣܒܪܝܢ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܠܦܘܢ ܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܘܥܘܢ ܓܦ̈ܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܢܐ ܘܢܪܗܛܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܠܐܘܢ ܘܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܛܪܦܘܢ
