1 Maccabees 1

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܩܛܠ ܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܒܪ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܣ ܡܩܕܘܢܝܐ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܚܐ ܠܕܪܝܘܫ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܦܪܣ ܘܕܡܕܝ ܘܐܡܠܟ ܚܠܦܘܗܝ ܗܘ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܒܝܘܢ
2 And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,	2 ܘܥܒܕ ܩܪ̈ܒܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܘܐܚܕ ܚܣ̈ܢܐ ܘܩܛܠ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
3 And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.	3 ܘܐܙܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܣܒ ܒܙܬܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܪܝܡ ܠܒܗ
4 And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.	4 ܘܟܢܫ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܥܫܝܢ ܛܒ. ܘܐܫܬܠܛ ܒܐܪ̈ܥܬܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܛܪ̈ܘܢܐ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܕܐܬܐ
5 And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.	5 ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܒܟܘܪܗܢܐ ܘܝܕܥ ܕܡܐܬ ܠܗ
6 Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.	6 ܘܩܪܐ ܠܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܡܝܩܪ̈ܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܪܒܝܘ ܥܡܗ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܗ ܘܦܠܓ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܥܕ ܗܘ ܚܝ
7 So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.	7 ܘܐܡܠܟ ܐܠܟܣܢܕܪܘܣ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܬܪܬܥܣܪܐ ܘܡܝܬ
8 And his servants bare rule every one in his place.	8 ܘܐܚܕܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܒܐܬܪܗ
9 And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.	9 ܘܩܛܪܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܓ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܡܘܬܗ ܘܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܣܓܝܘ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ
10 And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.	10 ܘܢܦܩ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܥܩܪܐ ܕܪܘܫܥܐ ܐܢܛܝܘܟܘܣ ܐܦܝܦܢܘܣ ܒܪ ܐܢܛܝܘܟܘܣ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܗܡܝܪܐ ܒܪܗܘܡܝ ܘܐܡܠܟ ܒܫܢܬ ܡܐܐ ܘܬܠܬܝܢ ܘܫܒܥ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܝܘ̈ܢܝܐ
11 In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow.	11 ܒܗܘܢ ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܓܪܓܘ ܠܣܓܝܐ̈ܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܩܝܡ ܩܝܡܐ ܥܡ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܚܕܪ̈ܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܐ ܡܢ ܕܦܪ̈ܫܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܕܪ̈ܟܢ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ
12 So this device pleased them well.	12 ܘܛܐܒܬ ܡܠܬܐ ܒܥܝܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ
13 Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:	13 ܘܐܬܓܪܓܘ ܐܢ̈ܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܠܡܬܕܒܪܘ ܒܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ
14 Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:	14 ܘܒܢܘ ܓܡܢܣܝܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܝܟ ܥܒ̈ܝܕܬܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ
15 And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.	15 ܘܢܓܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܥܘܪܠܘܬܐ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܡܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܐܫܬܘܝܘ ܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܙܕܡܢܘ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܕܒܝܫ
16 Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.	16 ܘܬܩܢܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܢܛܝܟܘܣ ܘܣܒܪ ܠܡܡܠܟܘ ܥܠ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܡܠܟ ܥܠ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܡܠܟܘܢ
17 Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy,	17 ܘܥܠ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܥܫ̈ܝܢܐ ܘܒܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܦܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܒܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ
18 And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.	18 ܘܣܕܪ ܩܪܒܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܦܛܘܠܡܐܘܣ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܗܦܟ ܦܛܘܠܡܐܘܣ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܥܪܩ
19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.	19 ܘܐܚܕ ܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܥܫ̈ܝܢܬܐ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܢܣܒ ܒܙܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ
20 And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,	20 ܘܗܦܟ ܐܢܛܝܘܟܘܣ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܡܚܐ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܒܫܢܬ ܡܐܐ ܘܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܘܬܠܬ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܘܣܠܩ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܥܡܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ
21 And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,	21 ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܒܓܐܝܘܬܐ ܘܢܣܒ ܠܡܕܒܚܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܠܡܢܪܬܐ ܕܢܗܪܐ ܘܠܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܡܐ̈ܢܝܗ
22 And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.	22 ܘܐܦ ܠܦܬܘܪܐ ܕܐ̈ܦܐ ܘܢܘܩܝܐ ܘܦܝ̈ܠܣܐ ܘܟ̈ܦܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܦܪܣܐ ܘܟܠܝܠܐ ܘܨܒܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܐ̈ܦܝ ܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܩܠܦ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ
23 He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.	23 ܘܢܣܒ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܕܗܒܐ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܪܓܬܐ ܘܢܣܒ ܣܝܡ̈ܬܐ ܡܛܫ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܐܫܟܚ
24 And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.	24 ܘܢܣܒ ܟܠ ܘܐܙܠ ܠܐܪܥܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܒܗܘܢ ܚܪܒܐ ܪܒܬܐ
25 Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were;	25 ܘܗܘܐ ܐܒܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܗܘܢ
26 So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.	26 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܐܬܬܢܚܘ ܘܣ̈ܒܐ ܘܥ̈ܠܝܡܐ ܘܒܬܘ̈ܠܬܐ ܐܬܟܪܗܘ ܘܫܘܦܪܐ ܕܢܫ̈ܐ ܐܬܚܒܠ
27 Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness,	27 ܟܘܠ ܚܬܢܐ ܢܣܒ ܐܘܠܝܬܐ ܘܕܝܬܒܐ ܒܓܢܘܢܐ ܚܕܬܬ ܐܒܠܐ
28 The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.	28 ܘܐܬܬܙܝܥܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ ܘܟܘܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܒܫܘ ܒܗܬܬܐ
29 And after two years fully expired the king sent his chief collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Jerusalem with a great multitude,	29 ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܕܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܫܠܝ̈ܛܐ ܕܡܕܬܐ ܠܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܥܡܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ
30 And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.	30 ܘܡܠܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܒܢܟܠܐ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܗܝ ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܡܚܗ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܥܡܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ
31 And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.	31 ܘܢܣܒ ܒܙܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܐܘܩܕܗ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܥܩܪ ܒ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܚܕܪܝܢ
32 But the women and children took they captive, and possessed the cattle.	32 ܘܫܒܐ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܘܛ̈ܠܝܐ ܘܒܥܝܪܐ ܝܪܬ
33 Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.	33 ܘܒܢܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܫܘܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܡܐ ܘܥܫ̈ܝܢܐ ܘܡܓ̈ܕܠܐ ܕܥܫܝܢܝܢ ܘܗܘܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܚܣܢܐ
34 And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.	34 ܘܣܡܘ ܬܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܥܒ̈ܪܝ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܘܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܒܗ
35 They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:	35 ܘܐܣܢܘ ܙܝܢܐ ܘܬܘܪܣܝܐ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܒܙܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܣܡܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܦܚܐ ܪܒܐ
36 For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.	36 ܘܠܡܟܪܢܘܬܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܠܡܐܟܠ ܩܪ̈ܨܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ
37 Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:	37 ܘܐܫܕܘ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܚܕܪ̈ܝ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܛܘܫܘ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ
38 Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her.	38 ܘܥܪܩܘ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܛܠܬܗܘܢ ܘܗܘܬ ܒܝܬ ܡܥܡܪܐ ܠܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܗܘܬ ܢܘܟܪܝܐ ܠܦܐܪ̈ܝܗ ܘܒ̈ܢܝܗ ܫܒܩܘܗ
39 Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.	39 ܘܩܘ̈ܕܫܝܗ ܐܬܚܪܒܘ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܫ̈ܒܝܗ̇ ܠܚܣܕܐ ܘܝܩܝܪ̈ܝܗ ܠܫܝܛܘܬܐ
40 As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and her excellency was turned into mourning.	40 ܐܝܟ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܗ ܣܓܝ ܨܥܪܗ ܘܪܘܡܗ ܐܬܗܦܟ ܠܐܒܠܐ
41 Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,	41 ܘܟܬܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܐ ܚܕ
42 And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.	42 ܘܕܢܫܒܩܘܢ ܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܢܡܘ̈ܣܘܗܝ ܘܩܒܠܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ
43 Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.	43 ܘܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܐܨܛܒܝܘ ܒܦܘܠܚܢܗ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܕܒܚܘ ܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܚܠܘ ܫܒܬܐ
44 For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,	44 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܒܝܕ ܐܝܙܓ̈ܕܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܡ̈ܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܒܬܪ ܢܡ̈ܘܣܐ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
45 And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:	45 ܘܠܡܟܠܐ ܕܒܚ̈ܐ ܫܠܡ̈ܐ ܘܢܘ̈ܩܝܐ ܡܢ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܠܡܚܠܘ ܫ̈ܒܐ ܘܥܕܥ̈ܕܐ
46 And pollute the sanctuary and holy people:	46 ܘܠܡܛܡܐܘ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܩܘ̈ܕܫܐ
47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts:	47 ܘܠܡܒܢܐ ܦܪ̈ܟܐ ܘܢܘ̈ܣܐ ܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܠܡܕܒܚܘ ܚܙܝܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܥܝܪ̈ܐ ܛܡܐܬܐ
48 That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:	48 ܘܠܡܫܒܩ ܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܥܘܪ̈ܠܐ ܘܠܡܛܡܐܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܒܟܘܠ ܕܛܡܐ ܘܡܛܘܫ
49 To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.	49 ܐܝܟ ܕܢܛܥܘܢ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܘܠܡܚܠܦܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܡܘ̈ܣܐ
50 And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.	50 ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܐܝܟ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܢܡܘܬ
51 In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.	51 ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܒ ܒܟܘܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܦܩܘ̈ܕܐ ܥܠ ܟܘܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܠܡܕܒܚܘ ܒܡܕ̈ܝܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܟܠ ܡܕܝܢܐ ܘܡܕܝܢܐ
52 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;	52 ܘܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܫܒܩܘ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ
53 And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.	53 ܘܣܡܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܒܛܫܝ̈ܬܐ ܒܟܠ ܒܝܬ ܥܪܘܩܝܗܘܢ
54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;	54 ܘܒܚܡܫܐ ܘܥܣܪܝܢ ܒܟܢܘܢ ܕܫܢܬ ܡܐܐ ܘܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܘܚܡܫ ܒܢܘ ܛܘܡܐܐ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ ܘܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܕ ܚܕܪ̈ܢ ܒܢܘ ܦܪ̈ܟܐ
55 And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.	55 ܘܥܠ ܬܪ̈ܥܐ ܕܒ̈ܬܐ ܘܒܫܘ̈ܩܐ ܣܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܣܡ̈ܐ
56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.	56 ܘܟܬ̈ܒܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܟܚܘ ܨܪܝܘ ܘܐܘܩܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ
57 And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king's commandment was, that they should put him to death.	57 ܘܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܕܡܫܬܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܩܝܡܐ ܘܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܨܛܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܡܘܣܐ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܩܛܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
58 Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.	58 ܒܚܝܠܗܘܢ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܒܟܠ ܝܪܚ ܘܝܪܚ ܒܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ
59 Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.	59 ܘܒܚܡܫܐ ܘܥܣܪܝܢ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܡܕܒܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܡܕܒܚܐ
60 At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.	60 ܘܠܢ̈ܫܐ ܕܓܙܪ ܗ̈ܘܝ ܒܢܝ̈ܗܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܩܛܠܘ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ
61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.	61 ܘܬܠܘ ܠܝܠܘ̈ܕܐ ܒܨܘܪ̈ܝܗܝܢ ܘܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܒܝܬܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܓܙܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ
62 Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.	62 ܘܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܣܝܒܪܘ ܘܐܬܚܝܠܘ ܒܗܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܛܡܐܘܬܐ
63 Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.	63 ܘܩܒܠܘ ܠܡܡܬ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܡܐܘܢ ܒܡܐ̈ܟܠܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܪܘܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܡܝܬܘ
64 And there was very great wrath upon Israel.	64 ܘܗܘܐ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܪܒܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ
