Isaiah 31

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who depend upon horses: Who put their trust in chariots because of their number, and in horsemen because od their combined power, But look not to the Holy One of Israel nor seek the LORD!	1 ܘܝ ܠܕܢܚܬܝܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܡܬܥܕܪܘ ܘܥܠ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܡܬܬܟܠܝܢ ܘܡܬܬܟܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܕܛܒ ܥܫܝܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܬܟܠܘ ܥܠ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܘ
2 Yet he too is wise and will bring disaster; he will not turn from what he has threatened to do. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against those who help evildoers.	2 ܘܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܐܝܬܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܐܥܒܪ ܘܩܡ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܒܝܫ̈ܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܕܥ̈ܒ̇ܕܝ ܥܘܠܐ
3 The Egyptians are men, not God, their horses are flesh, not spirit; When the LORD stretches forth his hand, the helper shall stumble, the one helped shall fall, and both of them shall perish together.	3 ܘܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܘܪܟܫܗܘܢ ܕܒܣܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܕܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܢܪܟܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܢܣܬܚܦ ܡܥܕܪܢܐ ܘܢܦܠ ܐܦ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܡܬܥܕܪ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܢܣܘܦܘܢ
4 Thus says the LORD to me: As a lion or a lion cub growling over its prey, With a band of shepherds assembled against it, Is neither frightened by their shouts nor disturbed by their noise, So shall the LORD of hosts come down to wage war upon the mountain and hill of Zion.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܗ̇ܡ ܐܪܝܐ ܘܓܘܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܬܒ̇ܪ ܘܩ̇ܥܝܢ ܒܗ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܕܚ̇ܠ ܘܡܢ ܣܘܓܐܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܬܬܙܝܥ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܚܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܠܡܬܚܝܠܘ ܥܠ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܪ̈ܡܬܗ̇
5 Like hovering birds, so the LORD of hosts shall shield Jerusalem, To protect and deliver, to spare and rescue it.	5 ܐܝܟ ܨܦܪ̈ܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܚܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܓܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܠ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܢܓܢ ܘܢܦܨܐ ܘܢܣܝܥ ܘܢܥܕܪ
6 Return, O children of Israel, to him whom you have utterly deserted.	6 ܬܘܒܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ̈ ܕܐܥܫܢܬܘܢ ܡܪܕܘܬܐ
7 On that day each one of you shall spurn his sinful idols of shlver and gold, which he made with his hands.	7 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܢܣܠܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܣܐܡܐ ܘܕܕܗܒܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟܘܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ
8 He shall rush past his crag in panic, and his princes shall flee in terror from his standard, Says the LORD who has a fire in Zion and a furnace in Jerusalem.	8 ܘܢ̇ܦܠ ܐܬܘܪܝܐ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܚܪܒܐ ܠܐ ܕܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܚܪܒܐ ܠܐ ܕܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܬܐܟܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܪܒܐ ܘܥ̈ܠܝܡܘܗܝ ܠܐܬܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ
	9 ܘܫܩܝܦܐ ܕܡܥܡܪܗ ܢܥܒܪ ܘܢܬܬܒܪܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܬܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܘܗܪܗ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܬܢܘܪܗ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
