Isaiah 1

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 The vision which Isaiah, son of Amoz, had concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.	1 ܚܙܘܐ ܕܐܫܥܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܡܘܨ ܕܚܙܐ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܥܘܙܝܐ ܘܝܘܬܡ ܘܐܚܙ ܘܚܙܩܝܐ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ
2 Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth, for the LORD speaks: Sons have I raised and reared, but they have disowned me!	2 ܫܡܥܘ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܨܘܬܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܪܒܝܬ ܘܪܡܪܡ̇ܬ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܝ
3 An ox knows its owner, and an ass, its master's manger; But Israel does not know, my people has not understood.	3 ܐܝܕܥ ܬܘܪܐ ܩܢܝܗ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܐܘܪܝܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܘܥܡܝ ܠܐ ܐܣܬܟܠܘ
4 Ah! sinful nation, people laden with wickedness, evil race, corrupt children! They have forsaken the LORD, spurned the Holy One of Israel, apostatized.	4 ܘܝ ܠܥܡܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܥܡܐ ܥܫܝܢ ܥܘܠܐ ܙܪܥܐ ܡܒܐܫܐ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܡܚ̈ܒܠܐ ܫܒܩܬܘܢ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܪܓܙܬܘܢ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܗܦܟܬܘܢ ܠܒܣܬܪܟܘܢ
5 Where would you yet be struck, you that rebel again and again? The whole head is sick, the whole heart faint.	5 ܠܡܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܬܒܠܥܘܢ ܘܬܘܣܦܘܢ ܠܡܬܪܕܝܘ ܟܠ ܪܝܫ ܠܟܐܒܐ ܘܟܠ ܠܒܐ ܠܟܪܝܘܬܐ
6 From the sole of the foot to the head there is no sound spot: Wound and welt and gaping gash, not drained, or bandaged, or eased with salve.	6 ܡܢ ܦܣܬܐ ܕܪܓܠܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܘܚܐ ܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܨܘ̈ܠܦܬܐ ܘܫܘ̈ܡܬܐ ܘܡܚ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܥܒ̈ܝܐ ܠܐ ܠܡܨܡܕ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܥܨܒ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܠܡܪܟܟܘ ܒܡܫܚܐ
7 Your country is waste, your cities burnt with fire; Your land before your eyes strangers devour (a waste, like Sodom overthrown)--	7 ܐܪܥܟܘܢ ܚܪܒܐ ܘܩܘܪ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܝܩ̈ܕܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܐܪܥܟܘܢ ܠܘܩܒܠܟܘܢ ܐܟ̇ܠܝܢ ܠܗ̇ ܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܨ̇ܕܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܦܝܟܬܐ ܕܢܘܟܪ̈ܝܐ
8 And daughter Zion is left like a hut in a vineyard, Like a shed in a melon patch, like a city blockaded.	8 ܘܐܫܬܚܪܬ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡܛܠܬܐ ܒܟܪܡܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܥܪܙܠܐ ܒܡܩܛܝܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܚܒܝܫܬܐ
9 Unless the LORD of hosts had left us a scanty remnant, We had become as Sodom, we should be like Gomorrah.	9 ܘܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܨܒܐܘܬ ܐܘܬܪ ܠܢ ܣܪܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܣܕܘܡ ܗܘ̇ܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܘܠܥܡܘܪܐ ܡܬܕܡܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ
10 Hear the word of the LORD, princes of Sodom! Listen to the instruction of our God, people of Gomorrah!	10 ܫܡܥܘ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܐ̈ ܕܣܕܘܡ ܘܨܘܬܘ ܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܥܡܘܪܐ
11 What care I for the number of your sacrifices? says the LORD. I have had enough of whole-burnt rams and fat of fatlings; In the blood of calves, lambs and goats I find no pleasure.	11 ܠܡܢܐ ܗܘ̇ܝܢ ܠܝ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܕܒܚܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܣܒ̇ܥܬ ܥ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܕܕܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܬܪܒܐ ܕܡ̈ܦܛܡܐ ܘܕܡܐ ܕܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܕܐܡܪ̈ܐ ܘܕܓܕ̈ܝܐ ܠܐ ܨܒ̇ܝܬ
12 When you come in to visit me, who asks these things of you?	12 ܟܕ ܬܐܬܘܢ ܠܡܚܙܐ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܡܢܘ ܒܥܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܕܫ ܕܪ̈ܝ
13 Trample my courts no more! Bring no more worthless offerings; your incense is loathsome to me. New moon and sabbath, calling of assemblies, octaves with wickedness: these I cannot bear.	13 ܠܐ ܬܘܣܦܘܢ ܠܡܝܬܝܘ ܠܝ ܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܐ ܣܪ̈ܝܩܐ ܣܘܬܐ ܡܣܠܝܐ ܗܝ ܠܝ ܒܪܝܫ ܝܪ̈ܚܐ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܟܢ̇ܫܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܟܢܘܫܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܟ̇ܠ ܐܢܐ ܕܥܬܐ ܘܕܚܒܘܫܝܐ
14 Your new moons and festivals I detest; they weigh me down, I tire of the load.	14 ܪܝܫ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܟܘܢ ܘܥܕ̈ܥܐܕܝܟܘܢ ܣܢܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝ ܠܐܝܩܪܬܐ ܠܐ̇ܝܬ ܠܡܫܩܠ
15 When you spread out your hands, I close my eyes to you; Though you pray the more, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood!	15 ܟܕ ܬܦܪܣܘܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܐܗܡܐ ܥܝ̈ܢܝ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܐܦܢ ܬܣܓܘܢ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܫܡ̇ܥ ܐܢܐ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܝܢ ܕܡܐ
16 Wash yourselves clean! Put away your misdeeds from before my eyes; cease doing evil;	16 ܣܚܘ ܘܐܬܕܟܘ ܘܐܥܒܪܘ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܕܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܝܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܝ̈ܢܝ ܫܠܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ
17 learn to do good. Make justice your aim: redress the wronged, hear the orphan's plea, defend the widow.	17 ܘܐܝܠܦܘ ܠܡܛܐܒܘ ܥܩܒܘ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܐܛܐܒܘ ܠܛܠܝܡ̈ܐ ܕܘܢܘ ܝܬ̈ܡܐ ܘܕܘܢܘ ܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܐ
18 Come now, let us set things right, says the LORD: Though your sins be like scarlet, they may become white as snow; Though they be crimson red, they may become white as wool.	18 ܘܬܘ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܚ̈ܕܕܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܓܐ ܢܬܚܘܪܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܢܣܡܩܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܘܠܥܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܡܪܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ
19 If you are willing, and obey, you shall eat the good things of the land;	19 ܘܐܢ ܬܛܦܝܣܘܢ ܘܬܫܡܥܘܢܢܝ ܛܘܒܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ
20 But if you refuse and resist, the sword shall consume you: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken!	20 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܛܦܝܣܘܢ ܘܬܬܚܪܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܬܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ
21 How has she turned adulteress, the faithful city, so upright! Justice used to lodge within her, but now, murderers.	21 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܗܘܬ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܬܐ ܕܡܠܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܒܬܬ ܒܗ̇ ܘܗܫܐ ܩܛܘ̈ܠܐ
22 Your silver is turned to dross, your wine is mixed with water.	22 ܟܣܦܟܝ ܐܣܬܠܝ ܚܢܘܝܝ̈ܟܝ ܚܠ̇ܛܝܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ
23 Your princes are rebels and comrades of thieves; Each one of them loves a bribe and looks for gifts. The fatherless they defend not, and the widow's plea does not reach them.	23 ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܟܝ ܡܪܘܕܝܢ ܘܫ̈ܘܬܦܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܓܢܒ̈ܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܚ̇ܡܝܢ ܫܘܚܕܐ ܘܡܣܬܪܗܒܝܢ ܠܡܦܪܥ ܚ̈ܘܒܠܐ ܠܝ̈ܬܡܐ ܠܐ ܕܝܢ̇ܝܢ ܘܕܝ̣ܢܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܥܐ̇ܠ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ
24 Now, therefore, says the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will take vengeance on my foes and fully repay my enemies!	24 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܝ ܡܬܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܣ̈ܢܐܝ ܘܡܬܢܩܡ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ
25 I will turn my hand against you, and refine your dross in the furnace, removing all your alloy.	25 ܘܐܦܢܐ ܐܝܕܝ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܨܪܘܦ ܡܪ̈ܘܕܝܟܝ ܠܕܟܝܘ ܘܐܥܒܪ ܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܝܟܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ
26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as in the beginning; After that you shall be called city of justice, faithful city.	26 ܘܐܩܝܡ ܕܝ̇ܢ̈ܝܟܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܘܡ̈ܠܘܟܝܟܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܢ ܠܩܘܕܡܝܢ ܘܒܬܪܟܢ ܬܬܩܪܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ
27 Zion shall be redeemed by judgment, and her repentant ones by justice.	27 ܨܗܝܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܬܬܦܪܩ ܘܫܒܝܬܗ̇ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ
28 Rebels and sinners alike shall be crushed, those who desert the LORD shall be consumed.	28 ܘܬܒܪܐ ܕܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܐ ܘܕܚ̈ܛܝܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܒܩܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܢܣܘܦܘܢ
29 You shall be ashamed of the terebinths which you prized, and blush for the groves which you chose.	29 ܡܛܠ ܕܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܪܓܘ ܘܢܚܦܪܘܢ ܡܢ ܓܢܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܓܒܘ
30 You shall become like a tree with falling leaves, like a garden that has no water.	30 ܡܛܠ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܛܡܬܐ ܕܢܬܪܘ ܛܪ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܘܐܝܟ ܓܢܬܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ̇
31 The strong man shall turn to tow, and his work shall become a spark; Both shall burn together, and there shall be none to quench the flames.	31 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܘܫܢܗܘܢ ܠܣܪܩܬܐ ܘܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܒܠܨܘܨ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܢܐܩܕܘܢ ܬܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܕܥܟ
