Leviticus 20

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	1 ܘܡܠܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ.
2 Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: If any man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers, that dwell in Israel, give of his seed to the idol Moloch, dying let him die: the people of the land shall stone him.	2 ܐܡܪ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܓܒܪ ܓܒܪ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܦܢܝܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܕܥܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ. ܕܢܪܡܐ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܒܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܡܬܩܛܠܘ ܢܬܩܛܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ . ܘܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܢܪܓܡܘܢܗ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܐ.
3 And I will set my face against him: and I will cut him off from the midst of his people, because he hath given of his seed to Moloch, and hath defiled my sanctuary, and profaned my holy name.	3 ܘܐܢܐ ܐܬܠ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܒܓܒܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܘܐܘܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܥܡܗ. ܥܠ ܕܐܪܡܝ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܒܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ. ܕܢܛܡܐ ܡܩܕܫܝ ܘܢܛܡܐ ܫܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܝ.
4 And if the people of the land neglecting, and as it were little regarding my commandment, let alone the man that hath given of his seed to Moloch, and will not kill him:	4 ܘܐܢ ܢܪܟܢܘܢ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ. ܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܪܡܝ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܒܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܩܛܠܘܢܗ.

6 The soul that shall go aside after magicians, and soothsayers, and shall commit fornication with them, I will set my face against that soul, and destroy it out of the midst of its people.	6 ܘܢܦܫܐ ܕܬܐܙܠ ܒܬܪ ܙܟܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܝܕܘ̈ܥܐ. ܘܬܛܥܐ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ. ܐܬܠ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܒܢܦܫܐ ܗ̇ܝ. ܘܐܘܒܕܝܗ̇ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܥܡܗ̇.
