Jeremiah 42

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Then all the army leaders, Johanan, son of Kareah, Azariah, son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, high and low, approached the prophet Jeremiah	1 ܘܩܪܒܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪ̈ܒܝ ܚܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܚ ܘܝܙܢܝܐ ܒܪ ܗܘܫܥܝܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ
2 and said, "Grant our petition; pray for us to the LORD, your God, for all this remnant. We are now few who once were many, as you well see.	2 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܢܟ ܨܠܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܬܚܪܢ ܩܠܝܠ ܡܢ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܠܢ
3 Let the LORD, your God, show us what way we should take and what we should do."	3 ܘܢܚܘܝܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܒܗ ܘܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ
4 Very well! the prophet Jeremiah answered them: I will pray to the LORD, your God, as you desire; whatever the LORD answers you, I will tell you; I will withhold nothing from you.	4 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܗܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܝܟܘܢ ܘܟܠ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܢܥܢܝܟܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܐܚܘܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܛܫܐ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܡܠܐ
5 And they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be our witness: we will truly and faithfully follow all the instructions the LORD, your God, will send us.	5 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܣܗܕܐ ܫܪܝܪܐ ܘܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܢܫܕܪܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܠܘܬܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ
6 Whether it is pleasant or difficult, we will obey the command of the LORD, our God, to whom we are sending you, so that it will go well with us for obeying the command of the LORD, our God."	6 ܐܢ ܕܛܒ ܘܐܢ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܢܫܡܥ ܕܡܫܕܪܝܢܢ ܠܟ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܢܛܐܒ ܠܢ ܟܕ ܢܫܡܥ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ
7 Ten days passed before the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.	7 ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܥܣܪܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ
8 Then he called Johanan, son of Kareah, his army leaders, and all the people, high and low,	8 ܘܩܪܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܚ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܪ̈ܒܝ ܚܝ̈ܠܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܡܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ
9 and said to them: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to offer your prayer:	9 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܫܕܪܬܘܢܢܝ ܠܘܬܗ ܠܡܪܡܝܘ ܒܥܘܬܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ
10 If you remain quietly in this land I will build you up, and not tear you down; I will plant you, not uproot you; for I regret the evil I have done you.	10 ܐܢ ܬܬܒܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܒܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܣܚܘܦܟܘܢ ܘܐܨܘܒܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܥܩܘܪܟܘܢ ܘܐܫܠܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܠܟܘܢ
11 Do not fear the king of Babylon, before whom you are now afraid; do not fear him, says the LORD, for I am with you to save you, to rescue you from his power.	11 ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܦܪܩܟܘܢ ܘܠܡܦܨܝܘܬܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ
12 I will grant you mercy, so that he will be sorry for you and let you return to your land.	12 ܘܐܬܠ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘܐܪܚܡܟܘܢ ܘܐܘܬܒܟܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܟܘܢ
13 But if you disobey the voice of the LORD, your God, and decide not to remain in this land,	13 ܘܐܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܬܒܝܢܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ
14 saying, "No, we will go to Egypt, where we will see no more of war, hear the trumpet alarm no longer, nor hunger for bread; there we will live";	14 ܘܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܢܥܘܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܐ ܩܪܒܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܠܐ ܢܫܡܥ ܘܠܠܚܡܐ ܠܐ ܢܟܦܢ ܘܬܡܢ ܢܬܒ
15 then listen to the word of the LORD, remnant of Judah: Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If you are determined to go to Egypt, when you arrive there to stay,	15 ܗܫܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܬܣܝܡܘܢ ܐ̈ܦܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܬܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܥܡܪ ܬܡܢ
16 the sword you fear shall reach you in the land of Egypt; the hunger you dread shall cling to you no less in Egypt, and there you shall die.	16 ܗ̇ܝ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܗ̇ ܬܡܢ ܬܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܟܦܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܡܢܗ ܬܡܢ ܢܪܕܘܦ ܒܬܪܟܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܬܡܢ ܬܡܘܬܘܢ
17 All those men who determine to go to Egypt to stay, shall die by the sword, famine, and pestilence; not one shall survive or escape the evil that I will bring upon them.	17 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܣܡܘ ܐ̈ܦܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܡܥܡܪ ܬܡܢ ܢܡܘܬܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܘܒܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܡܘܬܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܣܪܝܕܐ ܕܡܫܬܘܙܒ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
18 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Just as my furious anger was poured out upon the citizens of Jerusalem, so shall my anger be poured out on you when you reach Egypt. You shall become an example of malediction and horror, a curse and a reproach, and you shall never see this place again.	18 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܬܢܝܚ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܚܡܬܝ ܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܬܢܝܚ ܚܡܬܝ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܥܠܬܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܠܡ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܘܠܬܡܗܐ ܘܠܠܘܛܬܐ ܘܠܚܣܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ
19 It is the LORD who has spoken to you, remnant of Judah; do not go to Egypt! You can never say that I did not warn you this day.	19 ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܠܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܕܥܘ ܕܣܗܕܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ
20 At the cost of your lives you have deceived me, sending me to the LORD, your God, saying, "Pray for us to the LORD, our God; make known to us all that the LORD, our God, shall say, and we will do it."	20 ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܛܥܝܬܘܢ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܘܫܕܪܬܘܢܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܨܠܐ ܥܠܝܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܚܘܢ ܘܢܥܒܕ
21 Today I proclaim his message, but you obey the voice of the LORD, your God, in nothing that he has commissioned me to make known to you.	21 ܘܚܘܝܬܟܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܟܘܠ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ
22 Have no doubt of this, you shall die by the sword, famine, and pestilence in the place where you wish to go and settle.	22 ܗܫܐ ܕܥܘ ܕܒܚܪܒܐ ܘܒܟܦܢܐ ܘܒܡܘܬܢܐ ܬܡܘܬܘܢ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܨܒܝܬܘܢ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܗ ܠܡܥܡܪ ܬܡܢ
