Judges 6

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord: and he delivered them into the hand of Madian seven years.	1 ܘܥܒܕܘ ܒܢܝ̈ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܒܝܫ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܫܒܥ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ
	2 ܘܥܫܢܬ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܥܪܩܘ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒ̈ܬܐ ܒܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܡܥܪ̈ܐ ܘܛܝܪ̈ܐ
3 And they were grievously oppressed by them. And they made themselves dens and eaves in the mountains, and strong holds to resist.	3 ܘܡܐ ܕܙܪܥ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܥܡܠܝ̈ܩܝܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܝ ܪܩܡ
4 And when Israel had sown, Madian and Amalec, and the rest of the eastern nations came up:	4 ܘܫܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܚܒܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܥܠܢܐ ܕܥܐܙܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܢܚܘܢ ܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܚܡܪ̈ܐ
5 And pitching their tents among them, wasted all things as they were in the blade even to the entrance of Gaza: and they left nothing at all in Israel for sustenance of life, nor sheep, nor oxen, nor asses.	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܘܒܥܝܪܗܘܢ ܘܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܗܘܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܩܡܨܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܓܡ̈ܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܘܥܠܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܠܡܚܒܠܘܬܗ̇
6 For they and all their flocks came with their tents, and like locusts filled all places, an innumerable multitude of men, and of camels, wasting whatsoever they touched.	6 ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥ ܛܒ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ
7 And Israel was humbled exceedingly in the sight of Madian.	7 ܘܙܥܩܘ ܒܢܝ̈ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ
8 And he cried to the Lord desiring help against the Madianites.	8 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܐܣܩܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܦܩܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܥܒܕܘܬܐ
9 And he sent unto them a prophet, and he spoke: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made you to come up out of Egypt, and brought you out of the house of bondage,	9 ܘܦܨܝܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐ̈ܠܘܨܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܘܒܕܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܟܘܢ ܘܝܗܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ
10 And delivered you out of the hands of the Egyptians, and of all the enemies that afflicted you: and I cast them out at your coming in, and gave you their land.	10 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܠܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܕܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܒܩܠܝ

12 And an angel of the Lord came, and sat under an oak, that was in Ephra, and belonged to Joas the father of the family of Ezri. And when Gedeon his son was threshing and cleansing wheat by the winepress, to flee from Madian,	12 ܘܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܓܢܒܪ ܚܝܠܐ ܥܡܟ
13 The angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said: The Lord is with thee, O most valiant of men.	13 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܡܪܝ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܡܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܓܕܫ ܠܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܐܢܝ̈ܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܗ ܕܐܫܬܥܝܘ ܠܢ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܢ ܕܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܐܦܩܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܫܐ ܫܒܩܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܫܠܡܢ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ
14 And Gedeon said to him: I beseech thee, my lord, if the Lord be with us, why have these evils fallen upon us? Where are his miracles, which our fathers have told us of, saying: The Lord brought us Out of Egypt? but now the Lord hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the bands of Madian.	14 ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܙܠ ܒܚܝܠܟ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܬܦܪܘܩ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܗܐ ܫܕܪܬܟ
15 And the Lord looked upon him, and said: Go in this thy strength, and then shalt deliver Israel out of the hand of Madian: know that I have sent thee.	15 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܡܪܝ ܒܡܢܐ ܐܦܪܩܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܗܐ ܫܪܒܬܝ ܒܨܝܪܐ ܗܝ ܒܡܢܫܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ
16 He answered and said: I beseech thee, my lord, wherewith shall I deliver Israel? Behold my family is the meanest in Manasses, and I am the least in my father's house.	16 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܗܘܐ ܥܡܟ ܘܬܚܪܘܒ ܠܡܕܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ
17 And the Lord said to him: I will be with thee: and thou shalt cut off Madian as one man.	17 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܢ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܐܬܐ ܘܐܕܥ ܕܐܢܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܝ
18 And he said: If I have found grace before thee, give me a sign that it is thou that speakest to me,	18 ܠܐ ܬܦܪܘܩ ܡܟܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܦܩ ܫܪܘܬܝ ܐܣܝܡ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܬܒ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܐܬܐ
19 And depart not hence, till I return to thee, and bring a sacrifice, and offer it to thee. And he answered: I will wait thy coming.	19 ܘܓܕܥܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܒܕ ܓܕܝܐ ܕܥܙ̈ܐ ܘܣܐܬܐ ܕܩܡܚܐ ܦܛܝܪܐ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܣܡ ܒܣܠܐ ܘܡܨܠܠܐ ܐܪܡܝ ܒܩܣܛܐ ܘܐܦܩ ܠܗ ܬܚܝܬ ܒܛܡܬܐ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܗ
20 So Gedeon went in, and boiled a kid, and made unleavened loaves of a measure of flour: and putting the flesh in a basket, and the broth of the flesh into a pot, he carried all under the oak, and presented to him.	20 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܣܒ ܒܣܪܐ ܘܦܛܝܪܐ ܣܝܡ ܥܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܡܨܠܠܐ ܐܫܘܕ ܥܠܝܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ
21 And the angel of the Lord said to him: Take the flesh and the unleavened loaves, and lay them upon that rock, and pour out the broth thereon. And when he had done so,	21 ܘܐܘܫܛ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܪܝܫ ܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܒܐܝܕܗ ܘܩܪܒ ܠܒܣܪܐ ܘܠܦܛܝܪܐ ܘܣܠܩܬ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܟܠܬ ܒܣܪܐ ܘܦܛܝܪܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܓܠܙ ܡܢ ܨܐ̈ܕܘܗܝ
22 The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight.	22 ܘܚܙܐ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܕܡܠܐܟܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܐܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐ̈ܦܝܢ ܒܐ̈ܦܝܢ
23 And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.	23 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡ ܠܟ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܠܐ ܡܐܬ ܐܢܬ
24 And the Lord said to him: Peace be with thee: fear not, thou shalt not die.	24 ܘܒܢܐ ܬܡܢ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܥܕܟܝܠ ܒܥܘܦܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܥܙܪܝ
25 And Gedeon built there an altar to the Lord, and called it the Lord's peace, until this present day. And when he was yet in Ephra, which is of the family of Ezri,	25 ܘܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܣܒ ܬܘܪܐ ܕܐܒܘܟ ܘܬܘܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܒܪ ܫܒܥ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܘܣܚܘܦ ܡܕܒܚܗ ܕܒܥܠܐ ܦܬܟܪܗ ܕܐܒܘܟ ܘܐܣܬܪܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܦܣܩ
26 That night the Lord said to him: Take a bullock of thy father's, and another bullock of seven years, and thou shalt destroy the altar of Baal, which is thy father's: and cut down the grove that is about the altar:	26 ܘܒܢܝ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܥܠ ܪܝܫ ܬܘܩܦܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܣܕܪܐ ܘܣܒ ܬܘܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܣܩ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܠܬܐ ܘܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܒܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܕܐܣܬܪܐ ܕܡܦܣܩ ܐܢܬ
27 And thou shalt build an altar to the Lord thy God in the top of this rock, whereupon thou didst lay the sacrifice before: and thou shalt take the second bullock, and shalt offer a holocaust upon a pile of the wood, which thou shalt cut down out of the grove.	27 ܘܕܒܪ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܥܣܪܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܡܢ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܥܒܕ ܒܠܠܝܐ
28 Then Gedeon taking ten men of his servants, did as the Lord had commanded him. But fearing his father's house, and the men of that city, he would not do it by day, but did all by night.	28 ܘܩܕܡܘ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܘܚܙܝܢ ܕܥܩܝܪ ܡܕܒܚܗ ܕܒܥܠܐ ܘܐܣܬܪܐ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܦܣܩܐ ܘܬܘܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܡܣܩ ܥܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܒܢܐ
29 And when the men of that town were risen in the morning, they saw the altar of Baal destroyed, and the grove cut down, and the second bullock laid upon the altar, which then was built.	29 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܓܒܪ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܡܢܘ ܥܒܕ ܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܫܐܠܘ ܘܥܩܒܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܒܪ ܝܘܐܫ ܥܒܕ ܥܒܝܕܬܐ ܗܕܐ
30 And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon the son of Joas did all this.	30 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܐܢܫ̈ܝ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܠܝܘܐܫ ܐܦܩ ܒܪܟ ܢܡܘܬ ܕܥܩܪ ܡܕܒܚܗ ܕܒܥܠܐ ܘܦܣܩ ܐܣܬܪܐ ܕܥܠܘܗܝ
31 And they said to Joas: Bring out thy son hither, that he may die: because he hath destroyed the altar of Baal, and hath cut down his grove.	31 ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܐܫ ܠܟܘܠ ܕܩܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܒܥܠܐ ܐܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܦܨܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܘ ܕܕܐܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܘܗܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܨܦܪܐ ܢܡܘܬ ܐܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܢܕܘܢ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܥܠ ܕܥܩܪ ܡܕܒܚܗ
32 He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.	32 ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܢܕܘܒܥܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܢܕܘܢܝܘܗܝ ܒܥܠܐ ܥܠ ܕܥܩܪ ܡܕܒܚܗ
33 From that day Gedeon was called Jerobaal, because Joss had said: Let Baal revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar.	33 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܝܢܝ̈ܐ ܘܥܡܠܩ̈ܝܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܝ ܪܩܡ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܥܒܪܘ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܥܘܡܩܐ ܕܐܝܙܪܥܝܠ
34 Now all Madian, and Amalec, and the eastern people were gathered together, and passing over the Jordan, camped in the valley of Jezrael.	34 ܘܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܒܫܬ ܠܓܕܥܘܢ ܘܩܥܐ ܒܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܐܝܙܪܥܝܠ ܒܬܪܗ
35 But the spirit of the Lord came upon Gedeon, and be sounded the trumpet and called together the house of Abiezer, to follow him.	35 ܘܐܝܙ̈ܓܕܘܗܝ ܫܕܪ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܢܫܐ ܘܩܥܘ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܝܙ̈ܓܕܘܗܝ ܫܕܪ ܐܦ ܥܠ ܐܫܝܪ ܘܥܠ ܙܒܘܠܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܢܦܬܠܝ ܘܣܠܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܗܘܢ
36 And he sent messengers into all Manasses, and they also followed him: and other messengers into Aser and Zabulon and Nephtali, and they came to meet him.	36 ܘܐܡܪ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܗܘ ܕܦܪܩ ܐܢܬ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ
37 And Gedeon said to God: If thou wilt save Israel by my hand, as thou hast said,	37 ܗܐ ܣܐܡ ܐܢܐ ܓܙܬܐ ܕܥܡܪܐ ܒܐܕܪܐ ܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܐ ܥܠ ܓܙܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܘܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܝܒܫܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܕܦܪܩ ܐܢܬ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ
38 I will put this fleece of wool on the floor: if there be dew on the fleece only, and it be dry on all the ground beside, I, shall know that by my hand, as thou hast said, thou wilt deliver Israel.	38 ܘܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܩܕܡ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܥܨܪܗ̇ ܠܓܙܬܐ ܘܐܡܨܝ ܛܠܐ ܡܢ ܓܙܬܐ ܡܠܐ ܠܩܢܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ
39 And it was so. And rising before day wringing the fleece, he filled a vessel with the dew.	39 ܘܐܡܪ ܓܕܥܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܚܡܬ ܪܘܓܙܟ ܥܠܝ ܘܐܡܠܠ ܗܕܐ ܙܒܢܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܢܣܐ ܬܘܒ ܙܒܢܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܒܓܙܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܝܒܫܐ ܥܠ ܓܙܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܛܠܐ
40 And he said again to God: let not thy wrath be kindled against me if I try once more, seeking a sign in the fleece. I pray that the fleece only may be dry, and all the ground wet with dew.	40 ܘܥܒܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܗܘ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܝܒܫܐ ܥܠ ܓܙܬܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܗ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܠܐ
