Judith 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord Judith cried with a loud voice, and said,	1 ܘܢܦ̣ܠܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܬ ܥܠ ܐܦܝ̈ܗ̇ ܘܐܪܡ̣ܝܬ ܩܛܡܐ ܒܪܫܗ̇. ܘܣܕ̣ܩܬ ܟܘܬܝܢܗ̇. ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܣܩܐ ܕܠܒܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ. ܘܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܪܫܠܡ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܣܡ̈ܐ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܗ̣ܘ̣. ܓܥ̣ܬ ܝܗܘܕܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ̇ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܬ
2 O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:	2 ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܗܒܬ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܚܪܒܐ ܠܡܬܬܒܥܘ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕ̈ܒܒܐ ܕܫܪܘ ܣܥܪܗ̇ ܕܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܠܡܛܡܐܘ ܘܓܠܘ ܦܘܪܣܝܗ̇ ܠܒܗܬܬܐ ܘܛܡܐܘ ܡܪܒܥܗ̇ ܠܚܣܕܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡ̣ܪܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ
3 Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones;	3 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܠܩܛܠܐ ܘܬܫܘܝܬܗܘܢ ܕܩܒ̣ܠܬ ܕܡܗ̇ ܕܚܒܝܒܬܟ. ܘܡܚܝܬ ܥܒ̈ܕܐ ܥܡ. ܡܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ. ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܥܡ ܟܘܪ̈ܣܘܬܗܘܢ
4 And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.	4 ܘܝܗ̣ܒܘ ܢܫܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܫܒܝܐ. ܘܒܬ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܠܒܙܬܐ. ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܒܙܬܗܘܢ ܦܠܓܘ ܒܝ̈ܢܝ ܚܒ̈ܝܒܝܟ. ܘܢܛܪܘ ܛܢܢܟ ܘܦܪܣܝܘ. ܛܡܐܘܬܐ ܕܕܡܗܘܢ. ܘܩܪܐܘܟ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܗܘܢ. ܐܠܗܝ ܫܡܥܝܢܝ ܐܦ ܠܝ̣. ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܐ
5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come.	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬ ܥܒܕܬ ܩܕܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܡܨܥܝ̇ܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬ̣ܪܥܝܬ̇ ܘܗܘܘ ܘܐܬܚ̣ܫܒܬ
6 Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.	6 ܘܩ̇ܡܘ ܩܕܡܝܟ. ܘܩ̣ܪܝܬ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܘ ܗܐ ܩܝܡ̇ܝܢܢ. ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟ ܥܬ̈ܝܕܢ ܘܒܪܝܬܟ ܓܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܩܕܡܝܟ
7 For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear, and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles: the Lord is thy name.	7 ܘܗܐ ܐܬܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܣ̇ܓܝܘ ܒܚܝܠܗܘܢ. ܘܐܬܬܪܝܡܘ ܒܪ̈ܟܫܗܘܢ̣. ܘܒܪ̈ܟܒܝܗܘܢ̇ ܘܡܫܬܩܠܝ̣ܢ ܒܕܪܥܐ ܕܪ̈ܓܠܝܐ. ܘܡܬܥܫܢܝܢ ܒܣܝ̈ܦܐ. ܘܡܬܬܟܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܩܫܬ̈ܬܐ ܘܩ̈ܠܥܐ. ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ̇. ܡ̇ܫܚܩ ܩܪ̈ܒܐ
8 Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.	8 ܡܪܝܐ ܫܡܟ. ܐܢܬ ܬ̇ܒܪ ܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܕܥܠܡ̈ܐ. ܘܫܚܘܩ ܣ̈ܘܓܐܗܘܢ. ܬ̇ܒܪ ܥܘܫܢܗܘܢ. ܒܚܡܬܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܪܥܝܘ ܠܡܛܡܐܘ ܡܩܕܫܐ. ܕܫܟܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܫܡܟ. ܘܢܪܡܘܢ ܒܦܪܙܠܐ ܩܪ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܡܕܒܚܟ
9 Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their heads: give into mine hand, which am a widow, the power that I have conceived.	9 ܚܙܝ ܒܫܘܒܗܪܗܘܢ̣̇. ܘܫܕܪ ܪܘܓܙܟ ܥܠ ܪܝܫܗܘܢ̇. ܗܒ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܐܢܐ. ܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܐ̇ܬܪܥܝܬ
10 Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the prince, and the prince with the servant: break down their stateliness by the hand of a woman.	10 ܡܚܝ̣ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܒܡܛܥܝܢܘܬܐ ܕܣܦ̈ܘܬܝ ܥܠ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܫܠܝܛܐ. ܬܒܪ ܥܘܫܢܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ̇ ܕܢܩܒܬܐ
11 For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܣܘܓܐܐ ܚܝܠܟ ܘܥܘܫܢܟ. ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܟ ܒܚܝ̈ܠ̣ܬܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܡܟ̈ܝܟܐ. ܘܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܐܢܬ ܕܒܨܝܪ̈ܐ. ܘܡܣܝܥܢܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܝܗܐ. ܘܦܪܘܩܐ ܕܐܒܝܕܐ
12 I pray thee, I pray thee, O God of my father, and God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens and earth, Creator of the waters, king of every creature, hear thou my prayer:	12 ܐܝܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܝ. ܘܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܕܐ̇ܝܣܪܐܝܠ. ܡܪܝܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ. ܒ̇ܪܘܝܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ. ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܒܪܝܬܐ̣. ܫܡܥ ܩ̣ܠܐ ܕܒܥܘܬܝ
13 And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy children.	13 ܘܗܒ ܢܟܠܝ. ܘܡܛܥܝܢܘܬܝ ܠܩܛܠܐ. ܘܠܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩ̇ܝܡܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܩܝܡܟ. ܘܠܘܩܒܠ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܟ. ܘܛܘ̣ܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܒܝܬ ܐܘܚܕܢܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝܟ. ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܓܝܪ ܥܠܝܢ ܒܝ̣ܫܬܐ
14 And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.	14 ܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ̣. ܕܢܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܠ ܚܝܠ ܘܕܟܠ ܫܘܠܛܢ. ܘܠܝܬ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܕܡ̇ܪܚܦ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܟ
