Ezekiel 17

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:	1 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ
2 Son of man, propose a riddle, and speak this proverb to the house of Israel:	2 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܚܘܕ ܐܘܚܕܬܐ ܘܐܡܬܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܥܠ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
3 Thus speaks the Lord GOD: The great eagle, with great wings, with long pinions, with thick plumage, many-hued, came to Lebanon. He took the crest of the cedar,	3 ܘܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܢܫܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܓܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܐܪ̈ܝܟܝܢ ܓܠܦܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܡ̈ܠܝܢ ܛܦܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܥܒܝܛ ܡܠܓܗ ܐܬܐ ܠܠܒܢܢ ܘܢܣܒ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܥܪ̈ܩܐ
4 tearing off its topmost branch, And brought it to a land of tradesmen, set it in a city of merchants.	4 ܘܩܛܡ ܪܝܫ ܡܪܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܘܣܡܗ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܬܓܪ̈ܐ
5 Then he took some seed of the land, and planted it in a seedbed; A shoot by plentiful waters, like a willow he placed it,	5 ܘܢܣܒ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܪܡܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܢܨܒܬܐ ܥܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܘܣܡܗ ܠܕܘܩܐ
6 To sprout and grow up a vine, dense and low-lying, Its branches turned toward him, its roots lying under him. Thus it became a vine, produced branches and put forth shoots.	6 ܘܝܥܬ ܘܗܘܬ ܓܦܬܐ ܡܪܥܬܐ ܡܟܝܟܬ ܩܘܡܬܐ ܕܢܬܚܙܘܢ ܫܒܘ̈ܩܝܗ̇ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܥܩܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܬܚܘܬܘܗܝ. ܘܗܘܬ ܓܦܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܬ ܫܒ̈ܘܩܐ. ܘܦܫܛܬ ܥܢ̈ܩܝܗ̇.
7 But there was another great eagle, great of wing, rich in plumage; To him this vine bent its roots, sent out its branches, That he might water it more freely than the bed where it was planted.	7 ܘܗܐ ܢܫܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܕܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܓܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܣ̈ܓܝܐܢ ܛܦܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܓܦܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܟܪܟܬ ܥܩܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܕܠܝ̈ܬܗ̇ ܐܪܡܝܬ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܢܫܩܝܗ̇ ܡܢ ܡܕܪܐ ܕܢܨܒܬܗ
8 In a fertile field by plentiful waters it was planted, to grow branches, bear fruit, and become a majestic vine.	8 ܒܚܩܠܐ ܫܦܝܪܬܐ ܘܒ̈ܡܝܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܢܨܝܒܐ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܘܬܛܥܢ ܦܐܪ̈ܐ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܓܦܬܐ ܫܒܝܚܬܐ
9 Say: Thus says the Lord GOD: Can it prosper? Will he not rather tear it out by the roots and strip off its fruit, so that all its green growth will wither when he pulls it up by the roots? (No need of a mighty arm or many people to do this.)	9 ܐܡܪ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܟܫܪ ܐܠܐ ܥܩܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܢܬܦܣܩܘܢ ܘܦܐܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܢܬܡܣܘܢ ܘܢܐܒܫܘܢ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܕܡܘܥܝܬܗ̇ ܢܐܒܫܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܕܪܥܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܢܥܩܪܝܗ̇ ܡܢ ܥܩܪܗ̇
10 True, it is planted, but will it prosper? Will it not rather wither, when touched by the east wind, in the bed where it grew?	10 ܗܐ ܢܨܝܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܬܟܫܪ ܘܡܐ ܕܢܫܒܬ ܒܗ̇ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܫܘܒܐ ܝ̇ܒܫܐ ܒܡܕܪܐ ܕܡܘܥܝܬܗ̇
11 Thus the word of the LORD came to me:	11 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ
12 Son of man, say now to the rebellious house: Do you not understand what this means? It is this: The king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took away its king and princes with him to Babylon.	12 ܐܡܪ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܐܬ̇ܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܡܠܟܗ̇ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗ̇ ܘܡܘܒܠ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܒܠ
13 Then he selected a man of the royal line with whom he made a covenant, binding him under oath, while removing the nobles of the land,	13 ܘܢܣ̇ܒ ܡܢ ܙܪܥܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܡܩܝܡ ܥܡܗ ܩܝܡܐ ܘܥܐ̇ܠ ܥܡܗ ܒܡܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܘܕܒܪ ܠܫ̈ܠܝܛܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ
14 so that the kingdom would remain a modest one, without aspirations, and would keep his covenant and obey him.	14 ܐܠܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܘܢܛܪܘܢ ܩܝܡܗ ܘܢܩܝܡܘܢ ܥܡܗ
15 But this man rebelled against him, sending envoys to Egypt to obtain horses and a great army. Can he prosper? Can he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still go free?	15 ܘܢܡܪܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܫܕܪ ܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܘܗܝ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܕܢܬܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܥܡܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܠܐ ܢܟܫܪ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܦܨܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܥܒܕ
16 As I live, says the Lord GOD, in the home of the king who set him up to rule, whose oath he spurned, whose covenant with him he broke, there in Babylon I swear he shall die!	16 ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܫܛ ܡܘ̈ܡܬܝ ܘܒܛܠ ܩܝܡܝ ܒܓܘ ܒܒܠ ܢܡܘܬ
17 When ramps are cast up and siege towers are built for the destruction of many lives, he shall not be saved in the conflict by Pharaoh with a great army and numerous troops.	17 ܘܠܐ ܒܚܝܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܒܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܥܡܗ ܦܪܥܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܟܡ̈ܐܢܐ ܘܒܕܘ̈ܩܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫ̈ܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ
18 He spurned his oath, breaking his covenant. Though he gave his hand in pledge, he did all these things. He shall not escape!	18 ܥܠ ܕܫܛ ܡܘ̈ܡܬܐ ܘܒܛܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܢܫܠܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܦܨܐ ܥܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ
19 Therefore say: Thus says the Lord GOD: As I live, my oath which he spurned, my covenant which he broke, I swear to bring down upon his head.	19 ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܫܛ ܡܘ̈ܡܬܝ ܘܒܛܠ ܩܝܡܝ ܐܣܩܝܗ̇ ܒܪܝܫܗ
20 I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there over his breaking faith with me.	20 ܘܐܦܪܘܣ ܡܨܝܕܬܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܢܬܬܚܕ ܒܗ̇ ܘܐܘܒܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܒܠ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܘܐܕܘܢܝܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܥܠ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܕܐܥܠܝ ܒܝ
21 All the crack troops among his forces shall fall by the sword, and the survivors shall be scattered in every direction. Thus you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken.	21 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܐܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܪ̈ܝܒܘܗܝ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܝܢ ܢܬܕܪܘܢ ܠܟܠ ܪܘܚ ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ̇ܬ
22 Therefore say: Thus says the Lord GOD: I, too, will take from the crest of the cedar, from its topmost branches tear off a tender shoot, And plant it on a high and lofty mountain;	22 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܐܣܒ ܡܢ ܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܥܪ̈ܩܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܪܝܫܗ ܐܩܛܘܡ ܠܒܗ ܘܐܨܘܒ ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܪ̈ܡܐ ܘܡܥ̈ܠܝܐ
23 on the mountain heights of Israel I will plant it. It shall put forth branches and bear fruit, and become a majestic cedar. Birds of every kind shall dwell beneath it, every winged thing in the shade of its boughs.	23 ܒܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܨܒܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܛܥܢ ܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܘܢܥܒܕ ܦܐܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܐܪܙܐ ܫܒܝܚܐ ܘܬܫܟܢ ܒܗ ܟܠܗ̇ ܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܓܦܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܣܘ̈ܟܘܗܝ ܢܫܟܢܘܢ
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I, the LORD, Bring low the high tree, lift high the lowly tree, Wither up the green tree, and make the withered tree bloom. As I, the LORD, have spoken, so will I do.	24 ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐ̈ܝܠܢܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܡ̇ܟܬ ܩܝܣܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ̇ܬ ܩܝܣܐ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܘܐ̇ܘܒܫܬ ܩܝܣܐ ܪܛܝܒܐ ܘܐܘܥ̇ܝܬ ܩܝܣܐ ܝܒܝܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ̇ܬ ܘܥܒ̇ܕܬ
