| 1 If I have made an agreement with my eyes and entertained any thoughts against a maiden; | 1 ܩܝܡܐ ܐܩܝܡܬ ܠܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܒܝܢ ܒܒܬܘܠܬܐ |
| 2 But what is man's lot from God above, his inheritance from the Almighty on high? | 2 ܘܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܦܠܓܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܢ ܠܥܠ ܘܝܪܬܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܡܢ ܡܪܘܡܐ |
| 3 Is it not calamity for the unrighteous, and woe for evildoers? | 3 ܐܠܐ ܬܒܪܐ ܠܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܢܘܟܪܝܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ |
| 4 Does he not see my ways, and number all my steps? | 4 ܗܘܝܘ ܚܙܐ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܝ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܗ̈ܠܟܬܝ ܡܢܐ |
| 5 If I have walked in falsehood and my foot has hastened to deceit; | 5 ܐܢ ܗܠܟܬ ܥܡ ܫܩܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܣܬܪܗܒ ܪ̈ܓܠܝ ܠܡܪܗܛ ܒܢܟܠܐ |
| 6 Let God weigh me in the scales of justice; thus will he know my innocence! | 6 ܢܬܩܠܢܝ ܒܡܣܐܬܐ ܕܩܘܫܬܐ ܘܢܕܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܠܡܘܬܝ |
| 7 If my steps have turned out of the way, and my heart has followed my eyes, or any stain clings to my hands, | 7 ܐܢ ܐܣܛܝܬ ܗ̈ܠܟܬܝ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝ ܒܬܪ ܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܐܢ ܕܒܩ ܒܝ ܡܕܡ |
| 8 Then may I sow, but another eat of it, or may my planting be rooted up! | 8 ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܙܪܥܬ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܟܠܬ ܘܐܢ ܢܨܒܬ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܪܒܝܬ ܘܚܡܠܬ |
| 9 If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door; | 9 ܘܐܢ ܐܫܬܕܠ ܠܒܝ ܥܠ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܚܒܪܝ ܐܢ ܟܡܢܬ |
| 10 Then may my wife grind for another, and may others cohabit with her! | 10 ܐܠܐ ܛܚܢܬ ܠܐܚܪ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܬܝ ܘܐܦܬ ܒܕܘܟܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܐ |
| 11 For that would be heinous, a crime to be condemned; | 11 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܝ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܗܝ ܥܝܢܐ ܗܝ ܕܨܢܥܬܐ |
| 12 A fire that should burn down to the abyss till it consumed all my possessions to the roots. | 12 ܘܢܘܪܐ ܗܝ ܕܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ ܐܟܠܐ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܥ̈ܠܠܬܝ ܢܬܥܩܪ̈ܢ |
| 13 Had I refused justice to my manservant or to my maid, when they had a claim against me, | 13 ܐܢ ܐܣܠܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܥܒܕܝ ܘܕܐܡܬܝ ܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܝ |
| 14 What then should I do when God rose up; what could I answer when he demanded an account? | 14 ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܡܐ ܕܩ̇ܐܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܐ ܕܦ̇ܩܕ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܝܒܝܘܗܝ |
| 15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him? Did not the same One fashion us before our birth? | 15 ܕܗܐ ܒܟܪܣܐ ܕܥܒܕܢܝ ܥܒܕܗ ܘܒܚܕ ܡܪܒܥܐ ܬܩܢܢ |
| 16 If I have denied anything to the poor, or allowed the eyes of the widow to languish | 16 ܐܢ ܟܠܝܬ ܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܨܒܐ ܘܐܢ ܐܚܫܟܬ ܠܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܪܡܠܬܐ |
| 17 While I ate my portion alone, with no share in it for the fatherless, | 17 ܐܢ ܐܟܠܬ ܠܚܡܝ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܘܠܐ ܝܬܡܐ ܡܢܗ ܐܟܠ |
| 18 Though like a father God has reared me from my youth, guiding me even from my mother's womb-- | 18 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ ܪܒܝܘܢܝ ܟܐ̈ܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܟܪܣܗ̇ ܕܐܡܝ ܬܢܚ̈ܬܐ |
| 19 If I have seen a wanderer without clothing, or a poor man without covering, | 19 ܐܢ ܚܙܝܬ ܕܐܒܝܕ ܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܬܟܣܝܬܐ ܠܒ̇ܝܫܐ |
| 20 Whose limbs have not blessed me when warmed with the fleece of my sheep; | 20 ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܒܘܪ̈ܟܝ ܐܬܪܒܝܘ ܘܡܢ ܓܙ̈ܐ ܕܥܢܝ ܐܫܬܚܢܘ |
| 21 If I have raised my hand against the innocent because I saw that I had supporters at the gate-- | 21 ܐܢ ܐܪܝܡܬ ܥܠ ܝܬܡܐ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܠܐ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬܗ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܥܕܪܬܗ |
| 22 Then may my arm fall from the shoulder, my forearm be broken at the elbow! | 22 ܟܬܦܝ ܡܢ ܟܪܗ̇ ܬܦܠ ܘܕܪܥܝ ܡܢ ܩܢܝܗ ܢܬܬܒܪ |
| 23 For the dread of God will be upon me, and his majesty will overpower me. | 23 ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܙܝܥܬܢܝ ܘܬܒܪܗ ܐܬܐ ܥܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܙܘܥܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܠܡܩܡ |
| 24 Had I put my trust in gold or called fine gold my security; | 24 ܐܢ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܗܒܐ ܬܘܟܠܢܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܥܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܕܐܢܬܝ ܗܝ ܬܘܟܠܢܝ ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܥܠ ܣܢܝܢܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܣܒܪܝ |
| 25 Or had I rejoiced that my wealth was great, or that my hand had acquired abundance-- | 25 ܘܐܢ ܚܕܝܬ ܟܕ ܣܓܝ ܩܢܝܢܝ ܘܟܕ ܣܓܝ ܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܕܝ |
| 26 Had I looked upon the sun as it shone, or the moon in the splendor of its progress, | 26 ܐܢ ܚܙܝܬ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܟܕ ܕܢܝܚ ܘܣܗܪܐ ܟܕ ܚܒܝܒ |
| 27 And had my heart been secretly enticed to waft them a kiss with my hand; | 27 ܐܢ ܐܙܠ ܘܐܫܬܕܠ ܒܣܬܪܐ ܠܒܝ ܘܢܫܩܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܠܦܘܡܝ |
| 28 This too would be a crime for condemnation, for I should have denied God above. | 28 ܐܦ ܗܘ ܚܙܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܨܢܥ̈ܬܝ ܐܢ ܟܕܒܬ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ |
| 29 Had I rejoiced at the destruction of my enemy or exulted when evil fell upon him, | 29 ܘܐܢ ܚܕܝܬ ܒܬܒܪܐ ܕܣܢܐܝ ܘܐܢ ܕܨܬ ܡܐ ܕܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܒܝܫܬܐ |
| 30 Even though I had not suffered my mouth to sin by uttering a curse against his life-- | 30 ܘܠܐ ܐܫܠܡܬ ܦܘܡܝ ܠܚܛܗܐ ܘܢܦܫܝ ܠܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܐ ܫܐܠܬ |
| 31 Had not the men of my tent exclaimed, "Who has not been fed with his meat!" | 31 ܐܠܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܡܢ ܒܣܪܗ ܘܠܐ ܣܒܥܢ |
| 32 Because no stranger lodged in the street, but I opened my door to wayfarers-- | 32 ܒܫܘܩܐ ܠܐ ܐܒܝܬܬ ܐܟܣܢܝܐ ܘܬܪܥܝ ܠܐܪܚܐ ܦܬܚܬ |
| 33 Had I, out of human weakness, hidden my sins and buried my guilt in my bosom | 33 ܐܢ ܟܣܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܫܐ ܚ̈ܛܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܛܡܪܬ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܚ̈ܘܒܝ |
| 34 Because I feared the noisy multitude and the scorn of the tribes terrified me- then I should have remained silent, and not come out of doors! | 34 ܘܐܢ ܕܫܬ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܐܠܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܪ̈ܒܬܐ ܬܒܪܢܝ ܘܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܐ ܐܗܦܟܬ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܘܒܡܡܠܠܐ ܕܣ̈ܦܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܪܢܝܬ ܓܘܪ̈ܓܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܟܟܘܢܝ |
| 35 Oh, that I had one to hear my case, and that my accuser would write out his indictment! | 35 ܡ̇ܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫ̇ܡܥ ܠܝ ܐܢ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܥܢܝܢܝ ܘܢܟܬܘܒ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܕܝܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ |
| 36 Surely, I should wear it on my shoulder or put it on me like a diadem; | 36 ܐܠܐ ܥܠ ܟܬܦܝ ܐܫܩܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܥܒܕܬܗ ܠܝ ܟܠܝܠܐ |
| 37 Of all my steps I should give him an account; like a prince I should present myself before him. This is my final plea; let the Almighty answer me! The words of Job are ended. | 37 ܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܗ̈ܠܟܬܝ ܐܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܐܒܕܩܝܘܗܝ |
| 38 If my land has cried out against me till its very furrows complained; | 38 ܘܥܠܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܬܝܠܠ ܘܟܪ̈ܒܝܗ̇ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܢܒܟܘܢ |
| 39 If I have eaten its produce without payment and grieved the hearts of its tenants; | 39 ܐܢ ܐܟܠܬ ܚܝܠܗ̇ ܕܠܐ ܟܣܦ ܘܢܦܫܐ ܕܡܪܝܪܐ ܐܢ ܐܕܘܝܬ |
| 40 Then let the thistles grow instead of wheat and noxious weeds instead of barley! | 40 ܚܠܦ ܚܛܬܐ ܢܦܘܩ ܙܒܠܐ ܘܚܠܦ ܣܥܪܬܐ ܢܦܘܩ ܟܘܒܐ ܘܫܠܡܘ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܘܒ |
