Jeremiah 3

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 It is commonly said: If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and marry another man, shall he return to her any more? shall not that woman be polluted, and defiled? but thou hast prostituted thyself to many lovers: nevertheless return to me, saith the Lord, and I will receive thee.	1 ܐܢ ܢܫܒܘܩ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܬܐܙܠ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܢ ܡܬܦܢܐ ܠܘܬܗ̇ ܬܘܒ ܗܐ ܡܬܛܢܦܘ ܬܬܛܢܦ ܐܪܥܐ ܗ̇ܝ ܘܐܢܬܝ ܙܢܝܬܝ ܒܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܬܘܒܝ ܠܘܬܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
2 Lift up thy eyes on high: and see where thou hast not prostuted thyself: Thou didst sit in the ways, waiting for them as a robber in the wilderness: and thou hast polluted the land with thy fornications, and with thy wickedness.	2 ܐܪܝܡܝ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܝ ܥܠ ܫ̈ܒܝܠܐ ܘܚܙܝ ܐܝܟܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܛܢܦܬܝ ܥܠ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܝܬܒܬܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܥܒܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܛܢܦܬܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܒܙܢܝܘܬܟܝ ܘܒܒܝܫܘܬܟܝ
3 Therefore the showers were withholden, and there was no lateward rain: thou hadst a harlot's forehead, thou wouldst not blush.	3 ܐܬܟܠܝܘ ܐܪ̈ܣܝܣܐ ܘܐܪܒܝܥܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܥܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܝܬܝ ܠܡܬܬܟܣܘ
4 Therefore at least at this time call to me: Thou art my father, the guide of my virginity:	4 ܗܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܩܪܝܐ ܐܢܬܝ ܠܝ ܐܒܝ ܘܡܪܒܝܢܝ ܕܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܝ ܐܢܬ
5 Wilt thou be angry for ever, or wilt thou continue until the end? Behold, thou hast spoken, and hast done evil things, and hast been able.	5 ܕܠܡܐ ܢܬܢܛܪ ܠܥܠܡ ܐܘ ܢܬܢ̣ܛܪ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܠܬܝ ܘܥܒܕܬܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܐܬܚܝܠܬܝ
6 And the Lord said to me in the days of king Josias: Hast thou seen what rebellious Israel hast done? she hath gone out of herself upon every high mountain, and under every green tree, and hath played the harlot there.	6 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܫܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܥܡܘܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܙܠܬ ܗܝ ܠܟܠ ܛܘܪ ܕܪܡ ܘܬܚܝܬ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ ܕܥܒܝܛ ܘܙܢܝܬ ܬܡܢ
7 And when she had done all these things, I said: Return to me, and she did not return. And her treacherous sister Juda saw,	7 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܕܬܬܘܒ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܬ ܘܚܙܬ ܫܘܩܪܗ ܚܬܗ ܝܗܘܕܐ
8 That because the rebellious Israel had played the harlot, I had put her away, and had given her a bill of divorce: yet her treacherous sister Juda was not afraid, but went and played the harlot also herself.	8 ܘܚܙܬ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܨ̈ܒܘܬܗ̇ ܘܥܠ ܕܓܪܬ ܥܡܘܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܘܝܗܒܬ ܠܗ̇ ܟܬܒܐ ܕܫܘܒܩܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܕܚܠܬ ܫܩܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ̇ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܘܙܢܝܬ ܐܦ ܗܝ
9 And by the facility of her fornication she defiled the land, and played the harlot with stones and with stocks.	9 ܘܡܛܠ ܕܙܠܝܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܢܝܘܬܗ̇ ܛܢܦܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܓܪܬ ܒܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܘܒܩܝܣ̈ܐ
10 And after all this, her treacherous sister Juda hath not returned to me with her whole heart, but with falsehood, saith the Lord.	10 ܘܐܦ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܒܬ ܠܘܬܝ ܫܩܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܗ̇ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
11 And the Lord said to me: The rebellious Israel hath justified her soul, in comparison of the treacherous Juda.	11 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܕܩܬ ܢܦܫܗ̇ ܥܡܘܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܢ ܫܩܪܬܐ ܚܬܗ̇ ܝܗܘܕܐ
12 Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and thou shalt say: Return, O rebellious Israel, saith the Lord, and I will not turn away my face from you: for I am holy, saith the Lord, and I will not be angry for ever.	12 ܙܠ ܘܐܟܪܙ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܬܘܒܝ ܥܡܘܪܬܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܩܫܐ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܒܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܒ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ
13 But yet acknowledge thy iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the Lord thy God: and thou hast scattered thy ways to strangers under every green tree, and hast not heard my voice, saith the Lord.	13 ܒܪܡ ܕܥܝ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܝ ܕܒܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܝ ܚܛܝܬܝ ܘܒܕܪܬܝ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ ܠܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ ܕܥܒܝܛ ܘܒܩܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܬܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
14 Return, O ye revolting children, saith the Lord: for I am your husband: and I will take you, one of a city, and two of a kindred, and will bring you into Sion.	14 ܬܘܒܘ ܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܬܝܒ̈ܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܨܒܝܬ ܒܟܘܢ ܘܕܒܪܬܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܘܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܡܢ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܬܟܘܢ ܠܨܗܝܘܢ
15 And I will give you pastors according to my own heart, and they shall feed you with knowledge and doctrine.	15 ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܪ̈ܥܘܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܠܒܝ ܘܢܪܥܘܢܟܘܢ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܘܒܣܘܟܠܐ
16 And when you shall be multiplied, and increase in the land in those days, saith the Lord, they shall say no more: The ark of the covenant of the Lord: neither shall it come upon the heart, neither shall they remember it, neither shall it be visited, neither shall that be done any more.	16 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܕ ܬܦܪܘܢ ܘܬܣܓܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܩܒܘܬܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܣܩ ܥܠ ܠܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܕܟܪܘܢܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܢܦܩܕܘܢܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܥܒܕ ܬܘܒ
17 At that time Jerusalem shall be called the thrown of the Lord: and all the nations shall be gathered together to it, in the name of the Lord to Jerusalem, and they shall not walk after the perversity of their most wicked heart.	17 ܒܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܢܩܪܘܢܗ̇ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܘܪܣܝܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܢܣܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܠܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܒܬܪ ܨܒܝܢ̈ܝ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܒܝܫ̣ܐ·
18 In those days the house of Juda shall go to the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land which I gave to your fathers.	18 ܒܝ̈ܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܥܡ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܢܐܬܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܓܪܒܝܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܘܪܬܬ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ
19 But I said: How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a lovely land, the goodly inheritance of the armies of the Gentiles? And I said: Thou shalt call me father and shalt cease to walk after me.	19 ܘܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܕܐܚܫܒܟ ܒܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܘܐܬܠ ܠܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܓܒܝܬܐ ܘܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܠܐ ܕܚ̈ܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܐܒܝ ܬܩܪܘܢܢܝ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܝ ܠܐ ܬܗܦܟܘܢ
20 But as a woman that despiseth her lover, so hath the house of Israel despised me, saith the Lord.	20 ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܕܓܠܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܒܚܒܪܗ̇ ܗܟܢܐ ܕܓܠܘ ܒܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ
21 A voice was heard in the highways, weeping and howling of the children of Israel: because they have made their way wicked, they have forgotten the Lord their God.	21 ܩܠܐ ܥܠ ܫܒ̈ܝܠܐ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܒܟܬܐ ܘܒܥܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܥܩܡܘ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗܘܢ ܘܛܥܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܗܘܢ
22 Return, you rebellious children, and I will heal your rebellions. Behold we come to thee: for thou art the Lord our God.	22 ܬܘܒܘ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܬܝܒ̈ܐ ܘܐܣܐ ܬܝܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܗܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܝܠܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ
23 In very deed the hills were liars. and the multitude of the mountains: truly in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.	23 ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܪܡܬܐ ܘܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
24 Confusion hath devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth, their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.	24 ܘܒܗܬܬܐ ܐܟܠܬ ܠܐܘܬ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܠܥܢܗܘܢ ܘܠܬܘܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܬܗܘܢ
25 We shall sleep in our confusion, and our shame shall cover us, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers from our youth even to this day, and we have not hearkened to the voice of theLord our God.	25 ܢܕܡܟ ܒܒܗܬܬܢ ܘܢܟܣܝܢ ܚܦܪܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܚܛܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܘܐ̈ܒܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܛܠܝܘܬܢ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܢ ܒܩܠܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ
