Nehemiah 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.	1 ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܐ ܘܥܣܪܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܒܣ̈ܩܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܩܛܡܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.	2 ܘܐܬܦܪܫ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܩܡܘ ܘܐܘܕܝܘ ܥܠ ܚܛܗܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܕܐܒܗܝ̈ܗܘܢ
3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.	3 ܘܩܡܘ ܥܠ ܕܘܟܬܗܘܢ ܘܩ̇ܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܪܘܒܥܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܩܪܝܢ ܘܪܘܒܥܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܘܣ̇ܓܕܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ
4 Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.	4 ܘܩܡܘ ܪܫܐ ܥܠ ܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܕܡܐܝܠ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܚܫܒܝܐ ܘܫܪܒܝܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܟܒܢܝ ܘܨ̇ܠܝܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ
5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.	5 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܘܝ̈ܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܕܡܐܝܠ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܚܫܒܝܐ ܘܫܪܒܝܐ ܘܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܫܟܢܝܐ ܘܦܬܚܝܐ ܩܡܘ ܘܒ̇ܪܟܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܒܪܝܟ ܫܡܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܗ ܘܡܪܡܪܡ ܥܠ ܟܘܠ ܒܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܐ
6 Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.	6 ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܟ ܐܢܬ ܥܒܕ̣ܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܫܡܝ̈ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܟܠ ܚܝܠܘ̈ܬܗܘܢ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܘܟܘܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܘܡܝ̈ܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܕܡܚܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܠܟ ܗܘ ܣ̇ܓܕܝܢ
7 Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;	7 ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܓܒܝ̣ܬ ܠܐܒܪܡ ܘܐܦܩܬܝܗܝ ܡܢ ܐܘܪ ܕܟܠܕܝ̈ܐ ܘܫܚܠܦ̣ܬ ܫܡܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ
8 And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:	8 ܘܐܫܟܚ̣ܬ ܠܒܗ ܕܟܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܝܡܝ̣ܬ ܠܗ ܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢܝ̈ܐ ܘܕܚ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܕܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܕܦܪ̈ܙܝܐ ܘܕܚܘܝ̈ܐ ܘܕܝܒܘܣܝ̈ܐ ܘܕܓܪ̈ܓܘܣܝܐ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܙܪܥܗ ܘܐܫܪܬ ܡ̈ܠܝܟ ܥܡܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܕܝܩ ܐܢܬ
9 And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;	9 ܘܚܙܝ̣ܬ ܫܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܝܢ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܫܡܥ̣ܬ ܝܠܠܬܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܝܡܐ ܕܣܘܦ
10 And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharoah, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.	10 ܘܥܒܕ̣ܬ ܐܬܘ̈ܬܐ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܒܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܒܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ̣ܬ ܕܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܥܡܟ ܘܥܒܕ̣ܬ ܠܟ ܫܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܘܡܢܐ
11 And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.	11 ܘܝܡܐ ܬܪܥ̣ܬ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܒܪܘ ܒܓܘ ܝܡܐ ܒܝܒܫܐ ܘܠܪ̈ܕܘܦܝܗܘܢ ܛܒܥ̣ܬ ܒܥܘܡ̈ܩܘܗܝ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܛܒܥܐ ܟܐܦܐ ܒܡܝ̈ܐ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܐ
12 Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.	12 ܘܒܥܡܘܕܐ ܕܥܢܢܐ ܕܒܪ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܒܐܣܛܘܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܠܡܢܗܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܗ̇
13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:	13 ܘܥܠ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܣܝܢܝ ܢܚܬ̣ܬ ܘܡܠܠ̣ܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝ̣̈ܢܐ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܐ ܘܢܡ̈ܘܣܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܩܝ̈ܡܐ ܘܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܕܛܒܝܢ
14 And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:	14 ܘܫܒܬܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܟ ܐܘܕܥ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܘܩܝ̈ܡܐ ܘܢܡ̈ܘܣܐ ܕܦܩܕ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܥܒ̣ܕܟ
15 And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.	15 ܠܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܟܦܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܝ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܨܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܥܠ ܘܠܡܐܪܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܬܩܢܬ ܐܝܕܟ ܠܡܬܠ ܠܗܘܢ
16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,	16 ܗ̣ܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܒܗܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܐܥܠܝܘ ܘܩܫܝܘ ܩܕܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫ̣ܡܥܘ ܠܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ
17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.	17 ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܟ ܕܥܒܕ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܗ̣ܦܟ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܠܥܒ̇ܕܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܒܝ̈ܫܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܒܘܩܐ ܘܪܚܡܬܢܐ ܘܚܢܢܐ ܪܚܝܩ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܩܪܝܒ ܒܥܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ
18 Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;	18 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܥ̣ܒܕܘ ܥܓܠܐ ܕܢܣܟܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܢܘ ܐܠܗܟ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܐܣܩܟ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܥ̣ܒܕܘ ܒܝ̈ܫܬܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ
19 Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.	19 ܘܐܢܬ ܒܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܥܡܘܕܐ ܕܥܢܢܐ ܠܐ ܥ̣ܒܪ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܠܡܕܒܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܣܛܘܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܠܡܢܗܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܗ̇
20 Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.	20 ܘܪܘܚܟ ܛܒܬܐ ܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܢܢܐ ܠܐ ܟܠܝ̣ܬ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܡܝ̈ܐ ܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܨܗܝܗܘܢ
21 Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.	21 ܘܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܚܣܪ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܢܚܬܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܠܝܘ ܘܡܣܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܬܒܙܥܘ
22 Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.	22 ܘܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܘ̈ܬܐ ܕܥܡܡ̈ܐ ܘܦܠܓ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܪܝܫ ܐܢܫ ܘܝܪܬܘ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܣܝܚܘܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܕܚܫܒܘܢ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܕܥ̣ܘܓ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܝܫܘܢ
23 Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.	23 ܘܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܐܣܓܝ̣ܬ ܐܝܟ ܟܘܟܒ̈ܐ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܥܠ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܡ̣ܪܬ ܠܐܒܗܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܐܪܬܗ̇
24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.	24 ܘܥܠܘ ܒܢܝ̈ܐ ܘܝܪܬܘ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܒܪ̣ܬ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢܝ̈ܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܡ̈ܠܟܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܒܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ
25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.	25 ܘܐܚܕܘ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܬܩܝ̈ܦܬܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܫܡܝܢܬܐ ܘܝܪܬܘ ܒ̈ܬܐ ܕܡ̣ܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܛܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܓܘ̈ܒܐ ܚܦܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܟܪ̈ܡܐ ܘܙܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܝ̈ܠܢܐ ܕܡܐܟ̈ܠܬܐ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܬܐ ܘܐ̣ܟܠܘ ܘܣ̣ܒܥܘ ܘܫ̣ܡܢܘ ܘܐܬܦܢܩܘ ܒܛܘܒܟ ܪܒܐ
26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.	26 ܘܗ̣ܦܟܘ ܘܕܓܠܘ ܒܟ ܘܫܕܐܘܗܝ ܠܢܡܘܣܟ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܬܪ̈ܥܝܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܢܒ̈ܝܝܟ ܩ̇ܛܠܘ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܦܟ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܥ̣ܒܕܘ ܒܝ̈ܫܬܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ
27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.	27 ܘܐܫܠܡ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܕ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܐܥܝܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܟ ܘܫܡܥ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܐ ܘܐܩܝܡ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܪ̈ܘܩܐ ܘܦܪܩܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܠܘܨܝ̈ܗܘܢ
28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;	28 ܘܟܕ ܐܪܘܚ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܗ̣ܦܟܘ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܣ̣ܢܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܫܒܩ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܕ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܫܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܗ̣ܦܟܘ ܘܨ̇ܠܝܘ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܫܡܥ̣ܬ ܘܦܪܩ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܐܝܟ ܣܘܓܐܬ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ
29 And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.	29 ܘܐܣܗ̣ܕܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܠܡܗܦܟܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܢܡܘܣܝ̈ܟ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܥܠܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܫ̣ܡܥܘ ܠܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ ܘܒܕܝ̣̈ܢܝܟ ܚܛܘ ܒܗܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚ̇ܝܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܥ̣ܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܬܦܐ ܡܪܘܕܬܐ ܘܩܕܠܗܘܢ ܩܫܝܘ ܘܠܐ ܫ̣ܡܥܘ
30 Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.	30 ܘܐܟܪܙ̣ܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܫܢܝ̈ܐ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܬܐ ܘܐܣܗ̣ܕܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܪܘܚܟ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܢܒܝ̈ܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܫ̣ܡܥܘ ܘܐܫܠܡ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ
31 Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.	31 ܘܡܛܠ ܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܣܓܝ̈ܐܐ ܠܐ ܐܘܒ̣ܕܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩ̣ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܚܢܢܐ ܘܪܚܡܬܢܐ
32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.	32 ܡܟܝܠ ܐܠܗܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܓܢܒܪܐ ܘܕܚܝܠܐ ܢ̇ܛܪ ܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܘܫܪܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܟܣܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܟܠܗ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܡ̈ܠܟܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܟܘܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܢܒܝ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ
33 Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:	33 ܘܐܢܬ ܙܕܝܩ ܥܠ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐ̣ܬܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܓܝܪ ܘܚܢܢ ܐܥܠܝܢܢ
34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.	34 ܘܡ̈ܠܟܝܢ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܢ ܘܟܘܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܐܒܗ̈ܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܥ̣ܒܕܘ ܢܡܘܣܟ ܘܠܐ ܨܬܘ ܠܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝܟ ܘܠܣܗ̈ܕܘܬܟ ܕܐܣ̣ܗܕܬ ܒܗܘܢ
35 For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.	35 ܘܟ̣ܦܪܘ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܟ ܘܒܛܘܒܟ ܪܒܐ ܕܝܗ̣ܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܫܡܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܦܠܚܘܟ ܘܠܐ ܗ̣ܦܟܘ ܡܢ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܒܝ̈ܫܐ
36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:	36 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܢܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܥܒ̣̈ܕܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܒ̣ܬ ܠܐܒܗ̈ܝܢ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܐܒܗ̇ ܘܛܘܒܗ̇ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܐܝܟ ܥ̣ܒ̈ܕܐ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܒܗ̇ ܒܓܘܗ̇
37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.	37 ܘܥ̈ܠܠܬܗ̇ ܢܣܒܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܩܝܡ̣ܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܚܛܗ̈ܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܦܓܪܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܫܠܝܛܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܥܝܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܫ̇ܪܝܢܢ
38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
