Job 27

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Peshitta
1 Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said:	1 ܘܐܘܣܦ ܐܝܘܒ ܠܡܡܬܠ ܡܬܠܗ ܘܐܡܪ
2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness,	2 ܚܝ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܪܩܠ ܕܝܢܝ ܘܚܣܝܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܢܦܫܝ
3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,	3 ܕܟܘܠܗ̇ ܒܝ ܘܪܘܚܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܢܚܝܪ̈ܝ
4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies.	4 ܐܢ ܢܡ̈ܠܠܢ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܝ ܥܘ̣ܠܐ ܘܠܫܢܝ ܐܢ ܢܡܠܠ ܢܟܠܐ
5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence.	5 ܚܣ ܠܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܡܘܬ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܬܡܝܡܘܬܝ ܡܢܝ
6 I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life.	6 ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܝ ܐܚܡܣܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܦܐ ܘܠܐ ܨܪܦ ܠܝ ܠܒܝ ܡܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܝ
7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary.	7 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܘܣܢܐܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܘ̇ܠܐ
8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?	8 ܡܢܘ ܣܒܪܗ ܕܚܢܦܐ ܕܩܢܐ ܢܟܣ̈ܐ ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܫ̇ܩܠ ܠܗ̇ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ
9 Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?	9 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܫ̇ܡܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠ ܨܠܘܬܗ ܟܕ ܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ
10 Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times?	10 ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܠ ܚܣܝܢܐ ܢܬܬܟܠ ܘܢܩܪܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܟܠܥܕܢ ܢܥܢܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܢܫܡܥܝܘܗܝ
11 I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it.	11 ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܒ̈ܕܝܟܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܠܐ ܡܬܟܣܝܢ
12 Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?	12 ܗܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܘܠܡܢܐ ܡܬܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ
13 This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty.	13 ܗܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܢܬܗ ܕܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܡܒ̈ܐܫܢܐ ܕܡܢ ܚܣܝܢܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢ
14 If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread.	14 ܐܢ ܢܣܓܘܢ ܒ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܘܝ̈ܠܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܣܒܥܘܢ ܠܚܡܐ
15 Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.	15 ܘܫܪܟܗܘܢ ܒܡܘܬܐ ܢܬܩܒܪܘܢ ܘܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܬܒ̈ܟܝܢ
16 If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,	16 ܐܢ ܢܟܢܫܘܢ ܟܣܦܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܦܪܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܛܝܢܐ ܢܬܩܢܘܢ ܠܒܘܫܐ
17 then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.	17 ܗܢܘܢ ܢܬܩܢܘܢ ܘܙܕܝܩܐ ܢܠܒܫ ܘܟܣܦܗܘܢ ܢܦܠܓ
18 He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.	18 ܒܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܟ ܓܘܓܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܛܠܬܐ ܥܒܕ ܡܛܠܠܗ
19 When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.	19 ܡܛܠ ܕܥܬܝܪܐ ܢܫܟܒ ܘܠܐ ܢܘܣܦ ܠܡܩܡ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܦܬܚ ܘܠܝܬܘܗܝ
20 Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night.	20 ܢܕܪܟܝܘܗܝ ܕܠܘܚܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܟܘܟܝܬܐ ܕܦܪܚܐ ܬܫܩܠܝܘܗܝ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ
21 A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place.	21 ܘܢܐܙܠ ܘܢܕܚܩܘܢܗ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܗ
22 And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile.	22 ܘܬܫܕܝܘܗܝ ܕܠܐ ܚܘܣܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܡܥܪܩ ܢܥܪܘܩ
23 He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation.	23 ܢܛܪܦ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܢܫܪܩ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܬܪܗ
