Jeremiah 13

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 The LORD said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.	1 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܙܠ ܙܒܢ ܠܟ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܕܟܬܢܐ ܘܐܣܘܪܝܗܝ ܒܚ̈ܨܝܟ ܘܒܡ̈ܝܐ ܠܐ ܬܨܒܥܝܘܗܝ
2 I bought the loincloth, as the LORD commanded, and put it on.	2 ܘܙܒܢܬ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܣܪܬ ܒܚ̈ܨܝ
3 A second time the word of the LORD came to me thus:	3 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܙܒ̈ܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ
4 Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go now to the Parath; there hide it in a cleft of the rock.	4 ܣܒ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܕܙܒܢܬ ܕܒܚ̈ܨܝܟ ܘܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܦܪܬ ܘܛܡܘܪܝܗܝ ܬܡܢ ܒܨܪܝܐ ܕܟܐܦܐ
5 Obedient to the LORD'S command, I went to the Parath and buried the loincloth.	5 ܘܐܙܠܬ ܘܛܡܪܬܗ ܒܦܪܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܦܩܕܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ
6 After a long interval, he said to me: Go now to the Parath and fetch the loincloth which I told you to hide there.	6 ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܦܪܬ ܘܣܒ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܕܦܩܕܬܟ ܕܬܛܡܪܝܘܗܝ ܬܡܢ
7 Again I went to the Parath, sought out and took the loincloth from the place where I had hid it. But it was rotted, good for nothing!	7 ܘܐܙܠܬ ܠܦܪܬ ܘܚܦܪܬ ܘܢܣܒܬܗ ܠܣܘܕܪܐ ܡܢ ܟܪ ܕܛܡܪܬܗ ܘܗܐ ܐܬܚܒܠ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܘܠܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܟܫܪ
8 Then the message came to me from the LORD:	8 ܘܗܘܐ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܝ ܘܐܡܪ
9 Thus says the LORD: So also I will allow the pride of Judah to rot, the great pride of Jerusalem.	9 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܚܒܠ ܠܓܐ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܓܐ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܐ
10 This wicked people who refuse to obey my words, who walk in the stubbornness of their hearts, and follow strange gods to serve and adore them, shall be like this loincloth which is good for nothing.	10 ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܦܬ̈ܓܡܝ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܨܒܝܢܐ ܕܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪ ܐ̈ܠܗܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܢܐ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܡܣܓܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܠܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܟܫܪ
11 For, as close as the loincloth clings to a man's loins, so had I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me, says the LORD; to be my people, my renown, my praise, my beauty. But they did not listen.	11 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܢܩܦ ܣܘܕܪܐ ܠܚ̈ܨܘܗܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܩܦܬ ܠܝ ܠܟܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܝ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܠܫܡܐ ܘܠܐܝܩܪܐ ܘܠܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ
12 Now speak to them this word: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Every wineflask is meant to be filled with wine. If they reply, "Do we not know that every wineflask is meant to be filled with wine?"	12 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܟܠ ܓܪܒ ܢܬܡܠܐ ܚܡܪܐ ܗܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܟ ܡܕܥ ܓܝܪ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܪ̈ܒܐ ܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܚܡܪܐ
13 say to them: Thus says the LORD: Beware! I am filling with drunkenness all the inhabitants of this land, the kings who succeed to David's throne, the priests and prophets, and all the citizens of Jerusalem.	13 ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܐ ܡܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܠܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܝܬܒܝܢ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܠܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܠܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܪܘܝܘܬܐ
14 I will dash them against each other, fathers and sons together, says the LORD; I will show no compassion, I will not spare or pity, but will destroy them.	14 ܘܐܒܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܒܪ ܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܐ̈ܒܗܐ ܘܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܪܚܡ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܚܦ ܘܠܐ ܐܚܘܣ ܠܡܚܒܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ
15 Give ear, listen humbly, for the LORD speaks.	15 ܫܡܥܘ ܘܨܘܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ
16 Give glory to the LORD, your God, before it grows dark; Before your feet stumble on darkening mountains; Before the light you look for turns to darkness, changes into black clouds.	16 ܗܒܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܚܫܟ ܘܥܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܒܪ̈ܢ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܬܣܟܘܢ ܠܢܘܗܪܐ ܘܢܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܛ̈ܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ
17 If you do not listen to this in your pride, I will weep in secret many tears; My eyes will run with tears for the LORD'S flock, led away to exile.	17 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܫܡܥܘܢܗ ܡܛܫܝܐܝܬ ܬܒܟܐ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܩܬܐ ܘܡܕܡܥܘ ܐܕܡܥ ܘܢܫܚ̈ܠܢ ܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܕܡ̈ܥܐ ܥܠ ܕܐܫܬܒܝ ܓܙܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
18 Say to the king and to the queen mother: come down from your throne; From your heads fall your magnificent crowns.	18 ܐܡܪܘ ܠܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܘܠܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܐܬܡ̇ܟܟܘ ܘܬܘܒܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܪܝܫܟܘܢ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܟܘܢ
19 The cities of the Negeb are besieged, with no one to relieve them; All Judah is banished in universal exile.	19 ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܐܬܬܚܕ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܦܬܚ ܐܫܬܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܫܒܝܬܐ ܫܠܡܬܐ
20 Lift up your eyes and see men coming from the north. Where is the flock entrusted to you, the sheep that were your glory?	20 ܐܪܝܡܘ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܠܕܐܬܝܢ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܗܘ ܓܙܪܐ ܕܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܝ ܥܢܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܟܝ
21 What will you say when they place as rulers over you those whom you taught to be your lovers? Will not pangs seize you like those of a woman giving birth?	21 ܡܢܐ ܬܐܡܪܝܢ ܟܕ ܢܦܩܘܕ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܢܬܝ ܐܠܦܬܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܠܕܝܫܐ ܗܐ ܚܒ̈ܠܐ ܢܐܚܕܘܢܟܝ ܐܝܟ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܕܡܚܒܠܐ ܠܡܐܠܕ
22 If you ask in your heart why these things befall you: For your great guilt your skirts are stripped away and you are violated.	22 ܘܐܢ ܬܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܝ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܓܕܫ ܠܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܣܘܓܐܬ ܚܘܒ̈ܝܟܝ ܐܬܓܠܓܘ ܫ̈ܦܘܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܬܓܠܝ ܥܩ̈ܒܝܟܝ
23 Can the Ethiopian change his skin? the leopard his spots? As easily would you be able to do good, accustomed to evil as you are.	23 ܘܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܢܕܘܝܐ ܕܢܫܚܠܦ ܡܫܟܗ ܘܢܡܪܐ ܟܟ̈ܠܬܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܛܐܒܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܠܦܬܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ
24 I will scatter them like chaff that flies when the desert wind blows.	24 ܘܐܒܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܓܠܐ ܕܥܒܪ ܩܕܡ ܪܘܚܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ
25 This is your lot, the portion measured out to you from me, says the LORD. Because you have forgotten me, and trusted in the lying idol,	25 ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܦܨܬܟܝ ܘܡܢܬܐ ܕܝܪܬܘܬܟܝ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܕܛܥܝܬܝܢܝ ܘܐܬܬܟܠܬܝ ܥܠ ܫܘܩܪܐ
26 I now will strip off your skirts from you, so that your shame will appear.	26 ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܓܠܓ ܫ̈ܦܘܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܪܡܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܟܝ ܘܢܬܚܙܐ ܨܥܪܟܝ
27 Your adulteries, your neighings, your shameless prostitutions: On the hills in the highlands I see these horrible crimes of yours. Woe to you, Jerusalem, how long will it yet be before you become clean!	27 ܘܓܘܪܟܝ ܘܨܗܠܟܝ ܘܙܢܝܘܬܗ̇ ܕܙܢܝܘܬܟܝ ܥܠ ܪ̈ܡܬܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܛܢܦܘܬܟܝ ܘܝ ܠܟܝ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܕܟܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܡܬܝ ܬܘܒܝ
