2 Maccabees 8

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews' religion, and assembled about six thousand men.	1 ܝܗܘܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܩܒܝ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܛܫܝܐܝܬ ܠܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܟܢܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܫܪܒܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܘܝܘ ܒܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܫܬܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ
2 And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men;	2 ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܚܘܪ ܒܥܡܐ ܕܡܬܕܝܫ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܐ ܘܢܪܚܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܕܐܣܬܝܒ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ
3 And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the blood that cried unto him,	3 ܘܢܦܪܘܩ ܐܦ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܡܬܚܒܠܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܦ ܠܩ̈ܛܝܠܐ ܕܐܬܐܫܕ ܕܡܗܘܢ ܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ
4 And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, and the blasphemies committed against his name; and that he would shew his hatred against the wicked.	4 ܘܢܬܕܟܪ ܐܦ ܠܝܠܘ̈ܕܐ ܕܕܠܐ ܚܛܗ̈ܐ ܕܐܒܕܘ ܥܘܠܐܝܬ ܘܥܠ ܓܘ̈ܕܦܐ ܕܓܕܦܘ ܥܠ ܫܡܗ ܘܢܬܥܝܪ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܛܢܢܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ
5 Now when Maccabeis had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.	5 ܘܟܕ ܐܫܬܪܪ ܘܐܬܚܙܩ ܡܩܒܝ ܥܡ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܐܪܡܝ ܕܚܠܬܗ ܘܙܘܥܬܗ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܬܗܦܟ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܪ̈ܚܡܐ
6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies.	6 ܘܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܡܘܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܣܒ ܗܘܐ ܘܙܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܩܪ̈ܒܐ ܘܡܩܛܠ ܠܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ
7 But specially took he advantage of the night for such privy attempts, insomuch that the fruit of his holiness was spread every where.	7 ܘܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܠܝܠܘ̈ܬܐ ܢܦܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܚܩ ܠܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܘܡܬܡܠܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܡܫܬܡܗܐ ܓܢܒܪܘܬܗ ܒܟܠ ܐܬܪ
8 So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king's affairs.	8 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܣ ܕܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܪܐܒ ܘܡܫܬܒܚ ܡܩܒܝ ܘܙܟܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܠ ܩܪ̈ܒܘܗܝ ܟܬܒ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܦܛܠܡܐܘܣ ܪܫܐ ܘܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ ܘܕܦܘܢܝܩܐ ܕܢܥܕܪ ܠܨܒܘ̈ܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ
9 Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.	9 ܦܛܠܡܐܘܣ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܦܩܕ ܠܢܝܩܢܘܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܦܛܪܘܩܠܘܣ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܘܫܕܪܗ ܟܕ ܐܝܬ ܥܡܗ ܐܝܟ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܪ̈ܒܘܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܘܢܥܛܐ ܠܟܠܗ ܓܢܣܐ ܕܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܫܕܪ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܗ ܐܦ ܠܓܘܪܓܝܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܢܦܩ ܒܬܟܬܘܫܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ
10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents, which the king was to pay to the Romans.	10 ܐܫܬܘܕܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܢܝܩܢܘܪ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܢܝܬܐ ܘܢܪܡܐ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܡܢ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܕܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܟܟܪܝܢ
11 Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.	11 ܘܒܪܫܥܬܗ ܫܕܪ ܥܠ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܚܒܠ ܝܡܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܘܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܠܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܬܠ ܬܫܥܝܢ ܢܦܫ̈ܢ ܒܚܕܐ ܟܟܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܪ ܘܣܟܝ ܠܕܝܢܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܟܠ ܕܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܕܪܟܝܘܗܝ
12 Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor's coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that the army was at hand,	12 ܘܐܬܘ ܘܐܘܕܥܘ ܠܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܠ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܢܝܩܢܪ ܘܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܥܡܗ
13 They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of God, fled, and conveyed themselves away.	13 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܚܠܘ ܘܐܬܦܠܓܘ ܥܠ ܕܝܢܗ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܪܝܘ ܥܪܩܝܢ ܠܟܐ ܘܠܟܐ
14 Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together:	14 ܘܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܬܚܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܦܪܘܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܝܩܢܘܪ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܘܢܚܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܙܒܢ ܐܢܘܢ
15 And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were called.	15 ܐܦܢ ܠܐ ܡܛܠܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܥܡ ܐܒܗ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܛܠ ܫܡܗ ܪܒܐ ܘܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܫܒܝܚܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
16 So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,	16 ܟܢܫ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܩܒܝ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܫܬܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܡܚܝܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܪ̈ܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܪܗܒܘܢ ܘܢܬܬܙܝܥܘܢ ܡܢ ܣܘܓܐܗܘܢ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܥܘܠܐܝܬ
17 And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers:	17 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܘܪܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܒܨܥܪܐ ܕܐܨܛܥܪ ܡܢ ܐܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܥܘܠܐܝܬ ܐܬܪܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܗܒܘ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܘܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܚܝܠܬܢܐܝܬ ܘܡܥܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܦ ܨܥܪܐ ܘܒܘܙܚܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܫܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܡ̈ܘܣܐ ܕܐܒܗ̈ܬܐ ܕܒܐܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ
18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.	18 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܬܟܝܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܙܝܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܒܣܪܐ ܘܚܢܢ ܬܟܝܠܝܢܢ ܥܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܐܚܝܕ ܟܘܠ ܗܘ ܕܡܨܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܢܣܚܘܦ ܒܪܘܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܥܠܕܒ̈ܒܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܠܡܐ
19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand perished.	19 ܡܕܟܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܦܘܪ̈ܩܢܐ ܕܗܘܘ ܥܡ ܐܒܗ̈ܬܐ ܒܙܒܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܗ ܕܣܢܚܪܝܒ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܒܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܘܚܡܫܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ
20 And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hundred and twenty thousand because of the help that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty.	20 ܘܠܩܪܒܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܓ̈ܠܛܝܐ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܥܙܝܙܘܬܐ ܒܬܡ̈ܢܐܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܚܝܠܐ ܥܡ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܡܩܕܘ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܙܟܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ
21 Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and ready to die for the law and the country, he divided his army into four parts;	21 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܥܕܪܘ ܘܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܘܐܬܚܙܩܘ ܘܝܗܒܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܓܢܒܪܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܢܡܘܣܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܦܠܓܗ ܠܚܝܠܐ ܠܐܪܒܥ ܡ̈ܢܘܢ
22 And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men.	22 ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܐܚܘ̈ܗܝ ܪ̈ܝܫܐ ܘܡܕܒܪ̈ܢܐ ܥܠ ܚܕܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܢܘ̈ܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܝܘܣܦ ܘܠܝܘܢܬܢ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܠܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܠܦ ܘܚܡܫܡܐܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ
23 Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,	23 ܘܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܐܠܝܥܙܪ ܦܩܕܗ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܩܪܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܬܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܒܡܢܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܩܪܒ ܥܡ ܢܝܩܢܘܪ
24 And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight;	24 ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܚܝܕ ܟܠ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܩܛܠ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܫܥܐ ܐ̈ܠܦܝܢ ܠܣܘܓܐܗ ܕܝܢ ܕܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܩܛܥܘ ܐܝ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܘܪܘ ܥܝ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܣܪܚܘ ܗܕܡ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܚܪܘ ܡܢ ܟܘܠܗ ܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܥܪܩܘ
25 And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned:	25 ܘܢܣܒܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܘܬܪܗܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܙܒܢܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܪܕܦܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܣܓܝ ܘܗܟܘܬ ܗܦܟܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܣܬܪܗܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ
26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.	26 ܕܩܪܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܕܢܐ ܕܡ̈ܥܠܝ ܫܒܬܐ ܡܛܘܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܓܪܘ ܪܘܚܗܘܢ ܘܪܕܦܘ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ
27 So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.	27 ܒܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܘܫܩܠܘ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܥܡ ܙܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܘܢܫܒܬܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܪܘܪܒܐܝܬ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܫܪܝ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ
28 And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants.	28 ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܦܠܓܘ ܡܢ ܒܙܬܗܘܢ ܠܡܟܐ̈ܒܐ ܘܠܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܠܝܬܡ̈ܐ ܘܠܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܐ ܘܫܪܟܐ ܦܠܓܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܛܠܝ̈ܐ ܕܥܡܗܘܢ
29 When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants for ever.	29 ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܝܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܓܥܘ ܘܨܠܝܘ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܪܚܡܢܐ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܚܪܝܬܐ ܢܬܪܥܐ ܠܥܒܕܘ̈ܗܝ
30 Moreover of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves.	30 ܘܬܘܒ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܘܒܝܟܪܝܘܣ ܘܩܛܠܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܬܠܬ ܪ̈ܒܘܢ ܘܟܒܫܘ ܘܐܚܕܘ ܚܣ̈ܢܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܐ ܘܥܫ̈ܝܢܐ ܘܢܣܒܘ ܘܦܠܓܘ ܒܙܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܦܠܓܘ ܠܝܬܡ̈ܐ ܘܠܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܐ ܘܠܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܦܠܓܘ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܦ ܠܣܒ̈ܐ
31 And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.	31 ܘܢܣܒܘ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܠܟܘܠܗ ܙܝܢܗܘܢ ܘܣܡܘܗܝ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܝܕܝܥ̈ܐ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܙܬܐ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܘܬ ܪ̈ܝܫܝ ܥܡܐ
32 They slew also Philarches, that wicked person, who was with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways.	32 ܕܒܝܬ ܛܝܡܬܐܘܣ ܕܝܢ ܩܛܠܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܣܓܝ ܐܥܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ
33 Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness.	33 ܘܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܙܟܘܬܐ ܕܩܪܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܘ ܠܩܠܣܬܢܝܣ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܐܘܩܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܚܕ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܥܠ ܕܐܘܩܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܬܪ̈ܥܐ ܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܘܥܪܩܘ ܘܩܒܠܘ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܥܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܫ̈ܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ
34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews,	34 ܢܝܩܢܘܪ ܕܝܢ ܡܚܝܒܐ ܘܛܡܐܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗ ܐܠܦ ܬܓܪ̈ܝܢ ܠܙܒܢܗܘܢ ܕܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ
35 He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed.	35 ܐܬܡܟܟ ܘܢܦܠ ܬܚܝܬ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܣܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܒܨܝܪܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܘܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܩ ܠܒܘܫܗ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܥܪܩ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܐܢܛܝܟܐ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܒܥܩܬܐ ܘܒܒܗܬܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܕܚܝܠܗ
36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them.	36 ܘܗܘ ܕܐܫܬܘܕܝ ܗܘܐ ܠܪ̈ܗܘܡܝܐ ܕܢܣܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܠܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܡܙܕܟܝܢ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܦܘ̈ܩܕܢܘܗܝ
