Jonah 1

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 Now the word of the Lord came to Jonas the son of Amathi, saying:	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܝܘܢܢ ܒܪ ܡܬܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ
2 Arise, and go to Ninive the great city, and preach in it: for the wickedness thereof is come up before me.	2 ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܢܝܢܘܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܟܪܙ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܠܩܬ ܒܝܫܘܬܗܘܢ ܩܕܡܝ
3 And Jonas rose up to flee into Tharsis from the face of the Lord, and he went down to Joppe, and found a ship going to Tharsis: and he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them to Tharsis from the face of the Lord.	3 ܘܩܡ ܝܘܢܢ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܐܠܦܐ ܕܥܐܠܐ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܘܝܗܒ ܐܓܪܐ ܘܢܚܬ ܠܗ̇ ܠܡܥܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܬܪܫܝܫ ܠܡܥܪܩ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ
4 But the Lord sent a great wind into the sea: and a great tempest was raised in the sea, and the ship was in danger to be broken.	4 ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܪܡܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܡܚܫܘܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܠܦܐ ܡܬܗܦܟܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܡܬܬܒܪܘ
5 And the mariners were afraid, and the men cried to their god: and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship, into the sea, to lighten it of them: and Jones went down into the inner part of the ship, and fell into a deep sleep.	5 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܡ̈ܠܚܐ ܘܓܥܘ ܐܢܫ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܗ ܘܫܕܘ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܦܐ ܒܝܡܐ ܕܢܩܠܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܠܗ ܠܐܫܬܗ̇ ܕܐܠܦܐ ܘܕܡܟ
6 And the shipmaster came to him, and said to him: Why art thou fast asleep? rise up, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think of us, that we may not perish.	6 ܘܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܪܒ ܡ̈ܠܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܕܡܟ ܐܢܬ ܩܘܡ ܩܪܝ ܠܐܠܗܟ ܟܒܪ ܢܦܨܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ
7 And they said every one to his fellow: Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know why this evil is upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonas.	7 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܓܒܪ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܬܘ ܢܪܡܐ ܦܨ̈ܐ ܘܢܕܥ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܦܨ̈ܐ ܘܣܠܩܬ ܦܨܬܗ ܕܝܘܢܢ
8 And they said to him: Tell us for what cause this evil is upon us, what is thy business? of what country art thou? and whither goest thou? or of what people art thou?	8 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܚܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܢ ܡܢܘ ܥܒܕܟ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܐܪܥܟ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܡܐ
9 And he said to them: I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord the God of heaven, who made both the sea and the dry land.	9 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܥܒܪܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܕܚܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܝܒܫܐ
10 And the men were greatly afraid, and they said to him: Why hast thou done this? (for the men knew that he fled from the face of the Lord: because he had told them.)	10 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܪܩ ܘܟܕ ܚܘܝ ܐܢܘܢ
11 And they said to him: What shall we do to thee, that the sea may be calm to us? for the sea flowed and swelled.	11 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܘܢܫܠܐ ܝܡܐ ܡܢܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܗܐ ܐܙܠ ܘܡܬܕܠܚ ܥܠܝܢ
12 And he said to them: Take me up, and cast me into the sea, and the sea shall be calm to you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.	12 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܢܢ ܫܘܩܠܘܢܝ ܘܐܪܡܐܘܢܝ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܢܫܠܐ ܝܡܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܗܢܐ ܡܚܫܘܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ
13 And the men rowed hard to return to land, but they were not able: because the sea tossed and swelled upon them.	13 ܘܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܠܝܒܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܕܠܚ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
14 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We beseech thee, O Lord, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.	14 ܘܩܪܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܐܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܫܘܒ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ
15 And they took Jonas, and cast him into the sea, and the sea ceased from raging.	15 ܘܫܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܝܘܢܢ ܘܫܕܐܘܗܝ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܝܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܚܫ̈ܘܠܘܗܝ
16 And the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and sacrificed victims to the Lord, and made vows.	16 ܘܕܚܠܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܒܚܘ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܕܪܘ ܢܕܪ̈ܐ
