Isaiah 21

NEW JERUSALEM	Peshitta
1 Proclamation about the coastal desert: As whirlwinds sweeping over the Negeb, he comes from thedesert, from a fearsome country.	1 ܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܪܗܛ ܡܢ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܬܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܪܚܝܩܬܐ
2 A harsh vision has been shown me, 'The traitor betrays and the despoiler despoils. Advance, Elam, laysiege, Media!' I have cut short all groaning.	2 ܚܙܘܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܢ ܛܠܘܡܐ ܛ̇ܠܡ ܘܒܙܘܙܐ ܒܐ̇ܙ ܣܩܝ ܥܝܠ̈ܡ ܘܛܘܪ̈ܝ ܡܕܝ ܘܟܠܗܝܢ ܬܢܚ̈ܬܗ̇ ܒܛܠܬ
3 This is why my loins are racked with pain, why I am seized with pangs like the pangs of a woman inlabour; I am too distressed to hear, too afraid to look.	3 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܚܨܝ ܙܘܥܬܐ ܘܐܚܕܘܢܝ ܨܘܪ̈ܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܨܘܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܝܠܕܬܐ. ܙܥ̇ܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܡܥ. ܘܐܬܕܠܚ̇ܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܚܙܐ
4 My heart is bewildered, dread overwhelms me, the twilight I longed for has become my horror.	4 ܛܥܐ ܠܒܝ ܘܨܘܪ̈ܢܐ ܐܙܝܥܘܢܝ ܘܫܘܦܪ̈ܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܝ ܣܡܘ ܠܝ ܠܣܘܪܕܐ
5 They lay the table, spread the cloth, they eat, they drink. Up, princes, grease the shield!	5 ܛܝܒܘ ܦܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܘܩܘ ܕܘܩ̈ܐ ܐܟܘܠܘ ܘܐܫܬܘ ܩܘܡܘ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ̈ ܡܫܘܚܘ ܣܟܪ̈ܐ
6 For this is what the Lord has told me, 'Go, post a look-out, let him report what he sees.	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ. ܙܠ ܐܩܝܡ ܕܘܩܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܚ̇ܙܐ ܢܚܘܐ
7 He will see cavalry, horsemen two by two, men mounted on donkeys, men mounted on camels; let himwatch alertly, be very alert indeed!'	7 ܘܚܙܐ ܪܟܘܒܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܦܪ̈ܫܝܢ ܕܪܟܝܒ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܕܪܟܝܒ ܓܡܠܐ ܘܨܬ ܫܡܥܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ
8 Then the look-out shouted, 'On the watchtower, Lord, I stay al day and at my post I stand al night.	8 ܘܩܪܐ ܕܘܩܐ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܐ̇ܡ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܡܛܪܬܝ ܩܐ̇ܡ ܐܢܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܠܝ̈ܠܘܬܐ
9 Now the cavalry is coming, horsemen two by two.' He shouted again and said, 'Babylon has fallen, hasfal en, and al the images of her gods he has shattered to the ground!'	9 ܘܗܐ ܐܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܟܒܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܢܦܠܬ ܢܦܠܬ ܒܒܠ ܘܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܐ̈ܠܗܝܗ̇ ܓܠܝ̈ܦܐ ܐܬܬܒܪܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ
10 You whom I have threshed, grain of my threshing-floor, what I have heard from Yahweh Sabaoth, Godof Israel, I am tel ing you now.	10 ܡܢ ܚܨܕ ܘܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܐܕܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܡ̇ܥܬ ܡܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܚܘܝ̇ܬܟܘܢ
11 Proclamation about Dumah: From Seir, someone shouts to me, 'Watchman, what time of night?Watchman, what time of night?'	11 ܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܕܘܡܐ ܠܝ ܩܪܐ ܡܢ ܣܥܝܪ ܢܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܠܠܝܐ
12 The watchman answers, 'Morning is coming, then night again. If you want to ask, ask! Come back!Come here!'	12 ܐܡܪ ܢܛܘܪܐ ܐܬܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܐܦ ܠܠܝܐ ܐܢ ܒܥ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܬܘܒ ܐܬ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
13 Proclamation about the wastelands: In the thickets, on the wastelands, you spend the night, youcaravans of Dedanites.	13 ܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܥܪܒ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܒܥܒܐ ܬܒܘܬܘܢ ܒܫܒܝܠܐ ܕܕܘܪܢܝܡ
14 Bring water for the thirsty! The inhabitants of Tema went with bread to greet the fugitive.	14 ܠܐܘܪܥ ܨܗ̈ܝܐ ܐܝܬܘ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܒܠܚܡܟܘܢ ܐܪܘܥܘ ܠܡܒܕܪ̈ܐ
15 For these have fled before the sword, the naked sword and the bent bow, the press of battle.	15 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܣܦܣܪܐ ܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܚܪܒܐ ܕܠܛܝܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܩܫܬܐ ܕܡܠܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ
16 For this is what the Lord has told me, 'In one year's time as a hired worker reckons it, al the glory ofKedar will be finished	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܡܫܠܡ ܫܢܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܫ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܐܓܝܪܐ ܢܣܘܦ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܩܕܪ
17 and, of the valiant archers, the Kedarites, hardly any wil be left, for Yahweh, God of Israel, hasspoken.'	17 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܡܢܝܢܐ ܕܩܫ̈ܬܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܩܕܪ ܢܙܥܪܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܠܠ
