Jeremiah 2

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.	2 ܙܠ ܘܐܟܪܙ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܬܕܟܪܬ ܠܟܝ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܕܛܠܝܘܬܟܝ ܪܚܡܬܐ ܕܡܣܝܒܪܢܘܬܟܝ ܕܗܠܟܬܝ ܒܬܪܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܙܕܪܥܐ
3 Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.	3 ܩܕܫ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܪܝܫ ܥ̈ܠܠܬܗ ܟܘܠ ܐ̈ܟܘܠܝܗܘܢ ܢܬܚܝܒܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
4 Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:	4 ܫܡܥܘ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪ̈ܒܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
5 Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?	5 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܒܝ ܐܒ̈ܗܝܟܘܢ ܕܐܪܚܩܘ ܡܢܝ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܝܬܪܘ
6 Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?	6 ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܣܩܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܕܒܪܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܚܪܒܬܐ ܘܫܗܝܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܨܕܝܬܐ ܕ̈ܛܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܪ ܒܗ ܓܒܪ ܘܠܐ ܝܬܒ ܒܪ ܐܢܫ ܬܡܢ
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.	7 ܘܐܝܬܝܬܟܘܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܪܡܠܐ ܠܡܐܟܠ ܦܐܪ̈ܝܗ ܘܛܒ̈ܬܗ ܘܐܬܝܬܘܢ ܘܛܡܐܬܘܢ ܐܪܥܝ ܘܝܪܬܘܬܝ ܣܡܬܘܢ ܠܛܢܦܘܬܐ
8 The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.	8 ܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܚ̈ܝܕܝ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘܢܝ ܘܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܘ ܒܝ ܘܢܒܝ̈ܐ ܐܬܢܒܝܘ ܒܒܥܠܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܝܘܬܪܢ ܐܙܠܘ
9 Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.	9 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܕܝܢ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܒܢܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܐܬܕܝܢ
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.	10 ܥܒܪܘ ܠܓܙܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܝܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܘܠܩܕܪ ܫܕܪܘ ܘܛܒ ܐܣܬܟܠܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܐܢ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܗܕܐ
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.	11 ܐܢ ܡܚܠܦܝܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܘܥܡܝ ܚ̇ܠܦ ܐܝܩܪܗ ܒܕܠܐ ܝܘܬܪܢ
12 Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.	12 ܬܡܗܘ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܗܕܐ ܘܙܘܥܘ ܘܕܚܠܘ ܛܒ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
13 For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.	13 ܡܛܠ ܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܒܝܫ̈ܢ ܥܒܕܘ ܥܡܝ ܠܝ ܫܒܩܘ ܡܒܘܥܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܚܦܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܘܒ̈ܐ ܓܘܒ̈ܐ ܐܪ̈ܥܝܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܡܩܒܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ
14 Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?	14 ܕܠܡܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢ ܝܠܝܕ ܒܝܬܐ ܗܘ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܙܬܐ
15 The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.	15 ܥܠܘܗܝ ܢܢܗܡܘܢ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܘܢܪܝܡܘܢ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܘܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܐܪܥܗ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܗ ܢܨܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܕܝܬ̇ܒ
16 Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.	16 ܐܦ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܦܣ ܘܬܚܦܝܣ ܢܪܥܘܢܟܝ ܪܝܫܐ ܪܝܫܐ
17 Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?	17 ܗܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܬܥܒܕ ܠܟܝ ܥܠ ܕܫܒܩܬܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܝ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܡܕܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ
18 And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?	18 ܘܗܫܐ ܡܐ ܠܟܝ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܫܝܚܘܪ ܘܡܐ ܠܟܝ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܢܗܪܐ
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.	19 ܬܪܕܝܟܝ ܒܝܫܬܟܝ ܘܬܝܒܘܬܟܝ ܬܟܣܟܝ ܘܕܥܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܕܒܝܫ ܘܡܪܝܪ ܥܠ ܕܫܒܩܬܝ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠܬܝ ܡܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
20 For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.	20 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܬܒܪܬ ܢܝܪܟܝ ܘܦܣܩܬ ܚܢܩ̈ܝܟܝ ܘܐܡ̣ܪܬܝ ܕܬܘܒ ܠܐܠܗ ܐܚܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܐ̇ܦܠܘܚ ܘܗܐ ܥܠ ܟܘܠ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܬܚܝܬ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ ܕܥܒܝܛ ܐܢܬܝ ܛܥܝܐ ܘܡܙܢܝܐ
21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?	21 ܘܐܢܐ ܢܨܒܬܟܝ ܫܒܘܩܐ ܕܟܠܗ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܗܦܟܬܝ ܥܠܝ ܘܡܪܕܬܝ ܐܝܟ ܓܦܬܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ
22 For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.	22 ܘܐܢ ܬܬܚܘܪܝܢ ܒܢܬܪܐ ܘܬܣܓܝܢ ܠܟܝ ܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܟܬܡܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܟܝ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܝ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ
23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;	23 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܬܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܛܡܐܬ ܘܒܬܪ ܒܥܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܙܠܬ ܚܙܝ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ ܒܢܚ̈ܠܐ ܘܕܥܝ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܬܝ ܐܪܝܡܬܝ ܒܩܠܟܝ ܡܥܩܡܬ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ
24 A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.	24 ܐܝܟ ܥܪܕܐ ܕܡܬܝܠܦ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܒܨܒܝܢ̈ܝ ܢܦܫܗ ܣܩܬܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܝܟ ܝܪܘܪܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܢܗܦܟܝܗ̇ ܟܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܒܥܐ ܠܗ̇ ܠܐ ܢܬܛܪܦ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ̇ ܢܫܟܚܝܗ
25 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.	25 ܟܠܝ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܝ ܡܢ ܚܦܝܝܘܬܐ ܘܓܓܪܬܟܝ ܡܢ ܨܗܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܬܝ ܐܬܚܝܠܬ ܠܐ ܨܒܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡܬ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܒܬܪܗܘܢ ܐܙܠ
26 As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,	26 ܐܝܟ ܒܗܬܬ ܓܢܒܐ ܟܪ ܕܡܫܬܟܚ ܗܟܢܐ ܒܗܬܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܡ̈ܠܟܝܗܘܢ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܒܝ̈ܝܗܘܢ
27 Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.	27 ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܩܝܣܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܐܢܬ ܘܠܟܐܦܐ ܕܐܢܬܝ ܝܠܕܬܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦܢܝܘ ܠܝ ܩܕܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐ̈ܦܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܒܝܫܬܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ̈ܝܢ ܩܘܡ ܥܕܪܝܢܝ ܘܦܪܘܩܝܢܝ
28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.	28 ܘܐܝܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܟ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܠܟ ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܢܦܪܩܘܢܟ ܒܙܒܢ ܒܝܫܬܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܩܘܪܝܝܟ ܗܘܘ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܟ ܝܗܘܕܐ
29 Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.	29 ܠܡܢܐ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܡܝ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܕܓܠܬܘܢ ܒܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ
30 In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.	30 ܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܡܚܝܬ ܠܒ̈ܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܩܒܠܘ ܐܟܠܬ ܚܪܒܐ ܠܢܒܝ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܝܐ ܡܚܒܠܢܐ
31 O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?	31 ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܪܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܘ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܚܪܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܥܡܝ ܢܚܬܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܟ
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.	32 ܕܠܡܐ ܛܥܝܐ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܥܘܕܢܗ̇ ܘܟܠܬܐ ܬܨܒܝܬܗ̇ ܥܡܝ ܕܝܢ ܛܥܐܘܢܝ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܝܢ
33 Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.	33 ܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܡܬܩܢܬܝ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܪܚܡܬܐ ܕܗܐ ܐܦ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܝܠܦܬܝ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ
34 Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.	34 ܘܐܦ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܝ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܫܬܐ ܕܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܙܟ̈ܝܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܦܘܠܫܬܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ
35 Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.	35 ܘܐܡܪܬܝ ܕܡܚܣܝܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܗܦܟ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܡܢܝ ܗܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܝ ܥܠ ܕܐܡܪܬܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܛܝܬ
36 Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.	36 ܡܢܐ ܡܙܕܠܠܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܛܒ ܠܡܬܢܐ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ ܐܦ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܬܒܗܬܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܗܬܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܬܘܪ
37 Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.	37 ܐܦ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܗܢܐ ܬܦܩܝܢ ܟܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܝ ܥܠ ܪܝܫܟܝ ܕܪܓܙ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܬܟܠܢܝܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܨܠܚܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ
