Jeremiah 51

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 Yahweh says this: Against Babylon and the inhabitants of Leb-Kamai I shal rouse a destructive wind.	1 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܕܝܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܠܒܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܡܚܒܠܢܐ
2 I shal send winnowers to Babylon to winnow her and leave her country bare, for she wil bebeleaguered on all sides, on the day of disaster.	2 ܘܐܫܕܪ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܒܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܘܢܒܙܘܢܗ̇ ܘܢܕܘܫܘܢ ܐܪܥܗ̇ ܘܢܬܟܢܫܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡܢ ܚܕܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܒܝܫܬܐ
3 Let no archer bend his bow! Let no man swagger in his breastplate!-No quarter for her young men!Curse her whole army with destruction!	3 ܠܐ ܢܫܠܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܫܕܐ ܒܩܫܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܠܚ ܫܪܝܢܗ ܩܪܒܬܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܘܣܘܢ ܥܠ ܓܕܘ̈ܕܝܗ̇ ܚܪܘܒܘ ܟܠܗ ܚܝܠܗ̇
4 In the country of the Chaldaeans the slaughtered wil fall, in the streets of Babylon, those run throughby the sword.	4 ܘܢܦܠܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܘܕܡܡܚܝܢ ܒܫ̈ܘܩܝܗ̇
5 For Israel and Judah have not been bereft of their God, Yahweh Sabaoth, although their country wasful of sin against the Holy One of Israel.	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܪܡܠ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܥܘܠܐ ܩܕܡ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ
6 Escape from Babylon (save your lives, each one of you); do not perish for her guilt, for now is the timefor Yahweh's vengeance: he wil pay her her reward!	6 ܥܪܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܓܘ ܒܒܠ ܘܦܨܘ ܓܒܪ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐ ܬܒܠܥܘܢ ܒܚ̈ܛܗܝܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܦܘܪܥܢܗ̇ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܗ̇ ܗܘ ܦܪܥ ܠܗ̇
7 Babylon was a golden cup in Yahweh's hand, she made the whole world drunk, the nations drank herwine and then went mad.	7 ܟܣܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܒܒܠ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܪܘܐ ܠܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܡܢ ܚܡܪܗ ܐܫܬܝܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܬܛܪܦܘ
8 Babylon has suddenly fal en, is broken: wail for her! Fetch balm for her wounds, perhaps she can becured!	8 ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܢܦܠܬ ܒܒܠ ܘܐܬܬܒܙܙܬ ܐܝܠܠܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܣܒܘ ܣ̈ܡܡܢܐ ܠܟܐ̈ܒܝܗ̇ ܛܟ ܬܬܐܣܐ
9 -'We tried to cure Babylon; she has got no better. Leave her alone and let us each go to his owncountry.' -Yes, her sentence reaches to the sky, rises to the very clouds.	9 ܐܣܝܢܗ̇ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܐܣܝܬ ܢܫܒܩܝܗ̇ ܘܢܐܙܠ ܓܒܪ ܠܐܪܥܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܒ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܕܝܢܗ̇ ܘܐܬܬܪܝܡ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܢ̈ܢܐ
10 Yahweh has shown the uprightness of our cause. Come, let us tell in Zion what Yahweh our God hasdone.	10 ܐܦܩ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܟܘܬܢ ܬܘ ܢܫܬܥܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers! Yahweh has roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, becausehe has a plan against Babylon to destroy it; this is Yahweh's revenge, revenge for his Temple.	11 ܟܢܫܘ ܫ̈ܠܛܐ ܡܠܘ ܓܐܪ̈ܐ ܐܕܝܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܕܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܬܪܥܝܬܗ ܠܡܚܒܠܘܬܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܦܘܪܥܢܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܬܒܥܬܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܗ
12 Against the wal s of Babylon raise the standard! Strengthen the guard! Post the sentries! Take upconcealed positions! For Yahweh has both planned and done what he promised he would to the inhabitants ofBabylon.	12 ܥܠ ܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܒܒܠ ܫܩܘܠܘ ܐܬܐ ܐܩܝܡܘ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܘܛܒܥܘܗ̇ ܒܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܪܥܝ ܒܒܒܠ
13 Enthroned beside abundant waters, rich in treasures, you now meet your end, the finish of yourpil aging.	13 ܕܫܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܡ̈ܝܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܝܢ ܓܙܝ̈ܟܝ ܡܛܐ ܩܨܟܝ ܘܥܫܢܬ ܡܚܘܬܟܝ
14 By his own self Yahweh Sabaoth has sworn: I shal fil you with men as though with grasshoppers,and over you they wil raise the triumph-shout.	14 ܐܝܡܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܐܡܠܝܟܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܩܡܨܐ ܘܢܥܢܘܢ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܗܘܝ ܗܘܝ
15 By his power he made the earth, by his wisdom set the world firm, by his discernment spread out theheavens.	15 ܡܪܝܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܚܝܠܗ ܘܐܬܩܢ ܬܒܝܠ ܒܚܟܡܬܗ ܘܒܣܘܟܠܗ ܡܬܚ ܫܡܝܐ
16 When he thunders there is a roaring of waters in heaven; he raises clouds from the furthest limits ofthe earth, makes the lightning flash for the downpour, and brings the wind from his storehouse.	16 ܝܗܒ ܩܠܐ ܕܪܓܘܫܝܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܡܣܩ ܥܢ̈ܢܐ ܡܢ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܒܪ̈ܩܐ ܠܡܛܪܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܦܩ ܪ̈ܘܚܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܨܪ̈ܘܗܝ
17 At this everyone stands stupefied, uncomprehending, every goldsmith blushes for his idols; hiscastings are but delusion, with no breath in them.	17 ܫܛܐ ܟܠ ܒܪܢܫ ܡܢ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܒܗܬܘ ܟܠ ܩܝܢ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܓ̈ܠܝܦܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܢܣܟܘ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ
18 They are futile, a laughable production, when the time comes for them to be punished, they wilvanish.	18 ܠܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܫ̈ܛܝܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܡܬܦܩܕܝܢ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ
19 The Heritage of Jacob is not like these, for he is the maker of everything, and Israel is the tribe that ishis heritage; His name is Yahweh Sabaoth.	19 ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܡܢܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܠܐ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܒܪܐ ܟܠ ܗܘܝܘ ܡܢܬܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܫܡܗ
20 You were my mace, a weapon of war. With you I crushed nations, struck kingdoms down,	20 ܛܝܒܘ ܠܝ ܡܐ̈ܢܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ ܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܚܒܠ ܒܟܝ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ
21 with you crushed horse and rider, with you crushed chariot and charioteer,	21 ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܘܪ̈ܟܒܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܪ̈ܟܒܝܗܝܢ
22 with you crushed man and woman, with you crushed old man and young, with you crushed youngman and girl,	22 ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܫ̈ܐ ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܘܥ̈ܠܝܡܐ ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܓܕܘ̈ܕܐ ܘܒܬ̈ܘܠܬܐ
23 with you crushed shepherd and flock, with you crushed ploughman and team, with you crushedgovernors and magistrates,	23 ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܪܥܝܐ ܘܓܙܪܗ ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܐܟܪܐ ܘܦܕܢܗ ܘܐܒܕܪ ܒܟܝ ܛܪ̈ܘܢܐ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ
24 and I shal repay Babylon and the inhabitants of Chaldaea, before your eyes, for al the wrongs theyhave done to Zion, Yahweh declares.	24 ܘܐܦܪܘܥ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܠܥܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
25 I am setting myself against you, mountain of destruction, Yahweh declares, destroyer of the wholeworld! I shall reach out my hand for you and send you tumbling from the crags and make you a burnt-outmountain.	25 ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܛܘܪܐ ܡܚܒܠܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܚܒܠ ܠܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܐܝܕܝ ܥܠܝܟ ܘܐܩܠܟ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܐܥܒܕܟ ܠܛܘܪܐ ܝܩܝܕܐ
26 No corner-stone wil be taken from you again and no foundation-stone, for you will be a desert forever, Yahweh declares.	26 ܘܠܐ ܢܣܒܘܢ ܡܢܟ ܟܐܦܐ ܠܙܘܝܬܐ ܘܟܐܦܐ ܠܫܬܐܣܬܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܬܗܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
27 Raise the standard throughout the world, sound the trumpet among the nations! Consecrate nationsto make war on her; summon kingdoms against her: Ararat, Minni, Ashkenaz; appoint a recruiting-officer for herenemies, bring up the cavalry, bristling like locusts.	27 ܫܩܘܠܘ ܐܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܩܪܘ ܫܝܦܘܪܐ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܛܝܒܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܫܡܥܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܕܛ ܘܕܐܪܡܢܝ ܘܕܐܫܟܢܙ ܦܩܘܕܘ ܥܠܝܗ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܐܣܩܘ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܙܚܠܐ
28 Consecrate nations to make war on her: the kings of Media, her governors, all her magistrates andthe whole territory under their rule.	28 ܛܝܒܘ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܕܝ ܘܠܚܐܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܘܗܝ
29 Then the earth trembled and writhed, for Yahweh's plan against Babylon was being executed: tochange the country of Babylon into an unpopulated desert.	29 ܘܬܙܘܥ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܬܘܪ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܡܬ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܡܚܫܒܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܚܪܒܘ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܕܝܬܒ
30 The warriors of Babylon have done with fighting, they have stayed inside their fortresses; theircourage exhausted, they are now like women. Her houses are on fire, her gates are shattered.	30 ܣܦܘ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡ ܝܬ̈ܒܝ ܡܨܪܘܬ ܐܬܬܒܪܬ ܓܢܒܪܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܥܩܘܪܘ ܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܗ̇ ܬܒܪܘ ܬܪ̈ܥܝܗ̇
31 Courier fol ows close on courier, messenger on messenger, to tel the king of Babylon that his city hasbeen taken from al sides,	31 ܕܪܗܛ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܕܪܗܛ ܢܪܗܛ ܘܕܡܚܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܕܡܚܘܐ ܠܡܚܘܝܘ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܕܐܬܬܚܕܬ ܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܡܢ ܚܕܪ̈ܝܗ̇
32 the fords occupied, the bastions burnt down and the fighting men seized with panic.	32 ܘܡܥܒܪ̈ܬܗ̇ ܐܬܬܚܕ ܘܐ̈ܓܡܝܗ̇ ܐܝܩܕܘ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܩܪ̈ܒܬܢܐ ܐܬܕܠܚܘ
33 For Yahweh Sabaoth, the God of Israel, says this: the daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floorwhen it is being trodden: a little while, and then the time for harvesting her wil come.	33 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܪܬ ܒܒܠ ܐܝܟ ܐܕܪܐ ܕܡܛܐ ܙܒܢ ܕܪܟܬܗ ܥܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܘܡܛܐ ܩܛܦܗ̇
34 He devoured me, consumed me, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, left me like an empty dish, like theDragon he has swal owed me whole, filled his belly with my titbits and threw me out.	34 ܐܡܪܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܟܠܢܝ ܘܒܙܢܝ ܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܐܩܝܡܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܐܢܐ ܣܪܝܩܐ ܒܠܥܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܬܢܝܢܐ ܡܠܐ ܟܪܣܗ ܡܢ ܥܘܕܢܝ ܘܐܛܥܝܢܝ
35 'On Babylon be the wounds I suffered!' the daughter of Zion wil say. 'On the inhabitants of Chaldaeabe my blood!' Jerusalem wil say.	35 ܒܙܬܝ ܘܩܢܝܢܝ ܠܒܒܠ ܐܫܬܒܝ ܘܕܡܝ ܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ
36 So, Yahweh says this: Look, I am taking up your cause to make sure you are avenged. I shal dry herriver up, make her springs run dry.	36 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܐ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢܟܝ ܘܡܬܢܩܡ ܐܢܐ ܢܩܡܬܟܝ ܘܐܚܪܒ ܝܡܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܘܐܘܒܫ ܡܒ̈ܘܥܘܗܝ
37 Babylon wil become a heap of stones, the lair of jackals, a thing of horror and of scorn, with no oneliving in it.	37 ܘܬܗܘܐ ܒܒܠ ܚܪܒܬܐ ܡܥܡܪܐ ܠܝܪ̈ܘܪܐ ܘܠܬܡܗܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܘܩܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܗ̇
38 Like lions they roar together, they growl like lions' whelps.	38 ܐܝܟ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܢܢܗܡܘܢ ܘܢܥܪܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ
39 Are they feverish? I wil prepare them a drink and make them drink until they are tipsy and fal into aneverlasting sleep, never to wake again, Yahweh declares.	39 ܒܚܡܬܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܡܫܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܪܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܬܬܒܪܘܢ ܘܢܕܡܟܘܢ ܫܢܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܥܝܪܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
40 I wil drag them away to the slaughterhouse like lambs, like rams and goats.	40 ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܦܛܡܐ ܠܩܛܠܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܓܕ̈ܝܐ ܠܢܟܣܬܐ
41 What! Has Sheshak been taken, been conquered, the pride of the whole world? What a thing of horrorBabylon has become throughout the nations!	41 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܬܬܚܕܬ ܐܪܫܟܝܬܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܟܘܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܬܡܗܐ ܒܒܠ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ
42 The sea has risen over Babylon, she sinks beneath its boisterous waves.	42 ܣܠܩ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܝܡܐ ܘܒܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܓ̈ܠܠܘܗܝ ܐܬܟܣܝܬ
43 Her towns have been turned into wasteland, a parched land, a desert, a country where no one livesand where nobody goes.	43 ܗ̈ܘܝ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܠܬܡܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܚܪܒܬܐ ܘܨܕܝܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܒ ܒܗܝܢ ܓܒܪ ܘܠܐ ܢܥܡܪ ܒܗܝܢ ܒܪܢܫ
44 I shal punish Bel in Babylon and make him disgorge what he has swal owed. In future the nations wilstream to him no more. The very walls of Babylon wil fal .	44 ܘܐܦܩܘܕ ܥܠ ܒܝܠ ܒܒܒܠ ܘܐܦܩ ܙܘܬܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܕܚܠܘܢ ܠܗ ܬܘܒ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܦ ܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܒܒܠ ܐܪ̈ܘܝܚܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ
45 Get out of her, my people; save your lives, each one of you, from Yahweh's furious anger.	45 ܦܘܩܘ ܡܢ ܓܘܗ̇ ܥܡܝ ܘܦܠܛܘ ܓܒܪ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
46 But do not be faint-hearted! Do not take fright at rumours hawked round the country: one rumourspreads one year, next year another fol ows; violence rules on earth and one tyrant succeeds another.	46 ܕܠܡܐ ܢܬܬܒܪ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܛܒܐ ܕܡܫܬܡܥ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܐܬܐ ܒܗ̇ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܛܒܐ ܘܒܬܪܗ̇ ܕܫܢܬܐ ܛܒܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܚܛܘܦܝܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܢܩܘܡ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܥܠ ܫܠܝܛܐ
47 So look, the days are coming when I shal punish the idols of Babylon. Her entire country wil behumbled, with all her slaughtered lying on home-soil.	47 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܦܩܘܕ ܥܠ ܓܠܝܦܝܗ̇ ܕܒܒܠ ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܬܐܒܕ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܝܗ̇ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܓܘܗ
48 The heaven and earth and all within them wil shout for joy over Babylon, for the destroyers from thenorth are coming to her, Yahweh declares.	48 ܘܢܚܕܘܢ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܒܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܒܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
49 Babylon in her turn must fal , you slaughtered ones of Israel, just as through Babylon there fel menslaughtered al over the world.	49 ܘܐܦ ܒܒܒܠ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܒܠ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ
50 You who have escaped her sword, leave her, do not wait! Remember Yahweh from afar, letJerusalem come into your mind.	50 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܦܠܛܘ ܡܢ ܚܪܒܐ ܙܠܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܬܣܩ ܥܠ ܠܒܟܘܢ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
51 -'We were ashamed when we heard of the outrage, we were covered in confusion because foreignershad entered the Temple of Yahweh's holy places.'	51 ܒܗܬܢ ܛܒ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥܢ ܚܣܕܐ ܘܟܣܝܬ ܒܗܬܬܐ ܠܐ̈ܦܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܥܠܘ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܠܡܩܕܫܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
52 -So look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shall punish her idols, and the wounded willgroan throughout her country.	52 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܦܩܘܕ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܘܥܠ ܓܠܝܦ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܒܟܘܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܝܗ̇
53 Were Babylon to scale the heavens or reinforce her towering citadel, destroyers would stil come to her on my orders, Yahweh declares.	53 ܐܢ ܬܣܩ ܒܒܠ ܠܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܢ ܬܣܝܡ ܒܪܘܡܐ ܥܘܫܢܗ̇ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܒܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
54 The din of shouting from Babylon, of immense destruction, from the country of the Chaldaeans!	54 ܩܠܐ ܕܝܠܠܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܒܠ ܘܬܒܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ
55 Yes, Yahweh is laying Babylon waste and silencing her monstrous din, whose waves used to roar likethe ocean and their tumultuous voices rang out.	55 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܙ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܒܒܠ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܡܢܗ̇ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܒܥܝܪܐ ܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܙܠ ܩܠܗܘܢ
56 For the destroyer has fal en on Babylon, her warriors are captured, their bows are broken. Yes,Yahweh is a God of retribution, he never fails to repay.	56 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܬܘ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܒܙܘ̈ܙܐ ܘܐܬܬܚܕܘ ܓܢܒܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܐܬܬܒܪ ܩܫ̈ܬܬܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܦܪܘܥܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܦܪܥ ܢܦܪܘܥ ܐܢܘܢ
57 I shal make her princes and her sages drink, her governors, her magistrates, her warriors; they wilfal into an everlasting sleep, never to wake again, declares the King, whose name is Yahweh Sabaoth.	57 ܘܐܪܘܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗ̇ ܘܚ̈ܟܝܡܝܗ̇ ܘܚܐܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܝܗ̇ ܘܓܢܒܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܢܕܡܟܘܢ ܫܢܬܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܬܥܝܪܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܫܡܗ
58 Yahweh Sabaoth says this: The wal s of Babylon the Great wil be rased to the ground, and her loftygates wil be burnt down. Thus peoples toil for nothing and nations wear themselves out, for the flames.	58 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܒܒܠ ܐܪ̈ܘܝܚܐ ܡܬܥܩܪܘ ܢܬܥܩܪܘܢ ܘܬܪ̈ܥܝܗ̇ ܪ̈ܡܐ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܐܩܕܘܢ ܘܢܠܐܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܘܐܡ̈ܘܬܐ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܬܛܪ̈ܦܢ
59 This is the order that the prophet Jeremiah gave to Seraiah son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah whenSeraiah left for Babylon with Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year of his reign. Seraiah was lordchamberlain.	59 ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܦܩܕ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܠܫܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܢܪܝܐ ܒܪ ܡܥܣܝܐ ܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܥܡ ܨܕܩܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܒܒܠ ܒܫܢܬ ܚܕܥܣܪܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܘܫܪܝܐ ܪܒ ܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܗܘܐ
60 Now, on one sheet, Jeremiah had written down the entire disaster that was to befal Babylon, that is,al these words recorded here against Babylon.	60 ܘܟܬܒ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܕܐܬܝܐ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܚܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܟܬܝܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܒܒܠ
61 Jeremiah then said to Seraiah, 'When you reach Babylon, see to it that you read al these wordsaloud.	61 ܘܐܡܪ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܠܫܪܝܐ ܡܐ ܕܥܠܬ ܠܓܘ ܒܒܠ ܩܪܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܐ ܗܠܝܢ
62 Then say, "You, Yahweh, have promised to destroy this place, so that no one will live here ever again,neither human nor animal, and it wil be desolate for ever."	62 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܡܪܬ ܥܠ ܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܗ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܕܝܬܒ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܥܝܪܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܢܗܘܐ
63 Then, when you have finished reading this sheet, tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of theEuphrates,	63 ܘܡܐ ܕܫܠܡܬ ܠܡܩܪܐ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܛܘܪ ܒܗ ܟܐܦܐ ܘܫܕܝܘܗܝ ܒܦܪܬ
64 with the words, "So shal Babylon sink, never to rise again from the disaster which I am going to bringon her." ' Thus far the words of Jeremiah.	64 ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܪܟܐ ܦܬܓܡ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܐܪܡܝܐ
