Jeremiah 25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon),	1 ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܪܒܝܥܝܬܐ ܕܝܘܝܩܝܡ ܒܪ ܝܘܫܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܗܝ ܗܝ ܫܢܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܕܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem:	2 ܕܐܡܪ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܡܐܡܪ
3 "For twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, to this day, the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken persistently to you, but you have not listened.	3 ܡܢ ܬܠܬܥܣܪܐ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܝܘܫܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܡܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܐ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܬܠܬ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܟܘܢ ܩܕܡܬ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ
4 You have neither listened nor inclined your ears to hear, although the LORD persistently sent to you all his servants the prophets,	4 ܘܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܘܫܕܪ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܟܢܬܘܢ ܐܕܢܟܘܢ ܠܡܫܡܥ
5 saying, 'Turn now, every one of you, from his evil way and wrong doings, and dwell upon the land which the LORD has given to you and your fathers from of old and for ever;	5 ܘܠܡܐܡܪ ܬܘܒܘ ܓܒܪ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܝܫܘܬ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟܘܢ ܘܬܒܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ
6 do not go after other gods to serve and worship them, or provoke me to anger with the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.'	6 ܘܠܐ ܬܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܡܣܓܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܓܙܘܢܢܝ ܒܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܒܐܫ ܠܟܘܢ
7 Yet you have not listened to me, says the LORD, that you might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own harm.	7 ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢܢܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܪܓܙܬܘܢܢܝ ܒܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܕܢܒܐܫ ܠܟܘܢ
8 "Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts: Because you have not obeyed my words,	8 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܝ
9 behold, I will send for all the tribes of the north, says the LORD, and for Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants, and against all these nations round about; I will utterly destroy them, and make them a horror, a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.	9 ܗܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܘܕܒܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܫܪ̈ܒܬܐ ܕܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܓܪܒܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܢܒܘܟܕܢܨܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܥܒܕܝ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܘܥܠ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܒܚ̈ܕܪܝܗ̇ ܘܐܚܪܘܒ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܬܡܗܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܘܩܝܬܐ ܘܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܠܥܠܡ
10 Moreover, I will banish from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the grinding of the millstones and the light of the lamp.	10 ܘܐܘܒܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܩܠܐ ܕܕܝܨܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܚܕܘܬܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܚܬܢܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܟܠܬܐ ܩܠܐ ܕܪܚܝܐ ܘܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܫܪܓܐ
11 This whole land shall become a ruin and a waste, and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.	11 ܘܬܗܘܐ ܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܟܘܠܗ̇ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܠܬܡܗܐ ܘܢܦܠܚܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ
12 Then after seventy years are completed, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their iniquity, says the LORD, making the land an everlasting waste.	12 ܘܡܐ ܕܫܠܡ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܫ̈ܢܝܢ ܐܦܩܘܕ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܗ ܚ̈ܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܘܐܥܒܕܝܗ̇ ܠܬܡܗܐ ܠܥܠܡ
13 I will bring upon that land all the words which I have uttered against it, everything written in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied against all the nations.	13 ܘܐܝܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܕܐܡܪܬ ܥܠܝܗ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܣܦܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܬܢܒܝ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ
14 For many nations and great kings shall make slaves even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds and the work of their hands."	14 ܡܛܠ ܕܫܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ ܘܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܐ ܘܐܦܪܘܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܦܥܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ
15 Thus the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: "Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܣܒ ܟܣܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ ܕܚܡܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܘܐܫܩܝܗܝ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
16 They shall drink and stagger and be crazed because of the sword which I am sending among them."	16 ܢܫܬܘܢ ܘܢܬܘܪܘܢ ܘܢܬܛܪܦܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ
17 So I took the cup from the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it:	17 ܘܢܣܒܬ ܟܣܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܫܩܝܬ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
18 Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and princes, to make them a desolation and a waste, a hissing and a curse, as at this day;	18 ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܡ̈ܠܟܝܗ̇ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗ̇ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܘܠܬܡܗܐ ܘܠܡܫܪܘܩܝܬܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, all his people,	19 ܠܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܗ
20 and all the foreign folk among them; all the kings of the land of Uz and all the kings of the land of the Philistines (Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod);	20 ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܚ̈ܘܡܘܗܝ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܥܘܨ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܦܠܫܬ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܐܫܩܠܘܢ ܘܠܥܐܙܐ ܘܠܥܩܪܘܢ ܘܠܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܫܕܘܕ
21 Edom, Moab, and the sons of Ammon;	21 ܘܠܐܕܘܡ ܘܠܡܘܐܒ ܘܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܘܢ
22 all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastland across the sea;	22 ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܨܘܪ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܨ̈ܝܕܢ ܘܠܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܓܙܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;	23 ܘܠܕܪܢ ܘܠܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܠܒܘܙ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܩܨܝ̈ܨܝ ܦܐܬܐ
24 all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed tribes that dwell in the desert;	24 ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܡܬܚܡܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܥܪ̈ܒܝܐ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ
25 all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Media;	25 ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܙܡܪܢ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܥܝܠܡ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܡܕܝ
26 all the kings of the north, far and near, one after another, and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. And after them the king of Babylon shall drink.	26 ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܓܪܒܝܐ ܕܪ̈ܚܝܩܝܢ ܘܕܩܪ̈ܝܒܝܢ ܓܒܪ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܘܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܟܠܗ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܐܪܫܟܝܐ ܢܫܬܐ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ
27 "Then you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink, be drunk and vomit, fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I am sending among you.'	27 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܫܬܘ ܘܪܘܘ ܘܐܬܛܪܦܘ ܘܦܠܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܩܘܡܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ
28 "And if they refuse to accept the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: You must drink!	28 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܢܨܒܘܢ ܠܡܣܒ ܟܣܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܟ ܠܡܫܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܫܬܐ ܬܫܬܘܢ
29 For behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name, and shall you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, for I am summoning a sword against all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of hosts.'	29 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܐ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܝ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡܢܗ̇ ܡܫܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܒܐܫܘ ܠܗ̇ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܙܟܐ ܬܙܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܙܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܪܒܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ
30 "You, therefore, shall prophesy against them all these words, and say to them: 'The LORD will roar from on high, and from his holy habitation utter his voice; he will roar mightily against his fold, and shout, like those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.	30 ܘܐܢܬ ܬܬܢܒܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܬܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܘܡܐ ܢܢܗܡ ܘܡܢ ܡܥܡܪܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܗ ܢܬܠ ܩܠܗ ܡܢܗܡ ܢܢܗܡ ܥܠ ܕܝܪܗ ܝܗܝ ܝܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܨܘܪܐ ܢܥܢܐ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ
31 The clamor will resound to the ends of the earth, for the LORD has an indictment against the nations; he is entering into judgment with all flesh, and the wicked he will put to the sword, says the LORD.'	31 ܡܛܐ ܐܪܓܘܫܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣ̈ܘܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܠܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܘܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ ܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܚܪܒܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
32 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: Behold, evil is going forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth!	32 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܢܦܩܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܥܠܥܠܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܬܕܘܠ ܡܢ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ
33 "And those slain by the LORD on that day shall extend from one end of the earth to the other. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.	33 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܘܗܝ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܡܢ ܣܘ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܣ̈ܘܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܢܝܠܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܪܩܕܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܒܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܟܢܫܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܩܒܪܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܙܒܠܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ
34 "Wail, you shepherds, and cry, and roll in ashes, you lords of the flock, for the days of your slaughter and dispersion have come, and you shall fall like choice rams.	34 ܐܝܠܠܘ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܘܐܙܥܩܘ ܘܐܬܦܠܦܠܘ ܥܫܝ̈ܢܝ ܥܢܐ ܕܡܠܘ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܟܘܢ ܠܩܛܠܐ ܘܬܬܒܪܘܢ ܘܬܦܠܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ̈ܢܝ ܪܓܬܐ
35 No refuge will remain for the shepherds, nor escape for the lords of the flock.	35 ܘܢܐܒܕ ܒܝܬ ܥܪܘܩܝܐ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܘܦܘܠܛܐ ܡܢ ܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܥܢܐ
36 Hark, the cry of the shepherds, and the wail of the lords of the flock! For the LORD is despoiling their pasture,	36 ܩܠ ܙܥܩܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܘܝܠܠܬܐ ܕܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܕܒܙ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܪ̈ܥܝܬܗܘܢ
37 and the peaceful folds are devastated, because of the fierce anger of the LORD.	37 ܘܢܬܬܒܪ̈ܢ ܕܝܪ̈ܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
38 Like a lion he has left his covert, for their land has become a waste because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."	38 ܡܛܠ ܕܫܒܩ ܕܝܪܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܝܐ ܕܫܒܩ ܡܪܒܘܥܝܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘܬ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ
