Isaiah 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.	1 ܥܡܐ ܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܚܙܘ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܕܝ̇ܬܒܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕ̈ܛܠܠܝ ܡܘܬܐ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܢܚ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.	2 ܐܣܓܝܬ ܥܡܐ ܘܠܗ ܐܘܪܒܬ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܚܕܝܘ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܚ̇ܕܝܢ ܒܚܨܕܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ ܕܕܝ̇ܨܝܢ ܡܐ ܕܡܦܠܓܝܢ ܒܙܬܐ
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.	3 ܡܛܠ ܕܢܝܪܐ ܕܫܘܥܒܕܗܘܢ ܘܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܟܬܦܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܛܐ ܕܡܫܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܒܪܬ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.	4 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܩܠ ܐܫܬܡܥ ܒܙܘܥܬܐ ܘܢܚܬܐ ܡܦܠܦܠ ܒܕܡܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܝܩܕܢܐ ܘܠܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܝܠܕܐ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܠܢ ܘܒܪܐ ܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܢ ܘܗܘܐ ܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܥܠ ܟܬܦܗ ܘܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܗ ܕܘܡܪܐ ܘܡܠܘܟܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܓܢܒܪܐ ܕܥ̈ܠܡܐ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܕܫܠܡܐ
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.	6 ܠܡܣܓܝܘ ܫܘܠܛܢܗ ܘܠܫܠܡܗ ܠܝܬ ܣܟܐ ܥܠ ܟܘܪܣܝܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܢܬܩܢܝܗ̇ ܘܢܣܡܟܝܗ̇ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܘܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܡܟܝܠ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܛܢܢܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܗܕܐ
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.	7 ܦܬܓܡܐ ܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܢܦܠ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.	8 ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܫܡܪܝܢ ܒܓܐܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܪܒܘܬ ܠܒܐ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,	9 ܠܒ̈ܢܐ ܢܪܡܐ ܘܢܓܙܘܪ ܓܙܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܘܢܦܣܘܩ ܫܩ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܙܐ ܢܚܠܘܦ
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.	10 ܘܢܥܫܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ̈ܠܘܨܘܗܝ ܕܪܨܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܠܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܢܓܪܓ
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;	11 ܠܐܕܘܡ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܘܠܦܠܫܬ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܡܥܪܒܐ ܘܢܐܟܠܘܢܗ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܟܠܗ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܦܟ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܝܕܗ ܪܡܐ
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.	12 ܘܥܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܦܢܝܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܒܠܥܘ ܘܠܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܠܐ ܒܥܘ
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.	13 ܘܐܘܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܕܢܘܒܬܐ ܘܕܢܘܒܬܐ ܘܪܝܫܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܚܕ
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.	14 ܣܒܐ ܘܗܕܝܪ ܐ̈ܦܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܕܡܠܦ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܗܘܝܘ ܕܢܘܒܬܐ
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.	15 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܛܐ̈ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܥܝܢ ܘܡܛܒܥܝܢ ܠܗ
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.	16 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܚܕܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠ ܥܠܝܡ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܝܬ̈ܡܝܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܐܪ̈ܡܠܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܪܚܦ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܠܦܝܢ ܘܒܝܫܝܢ ܘܟܠ ܦܘܡ ܡܡܠܠ ܫܛܝܘܬܐ ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܦܟ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܝܕܗ ܪܡܐ
17 Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.	17 ܡܛܠ ܕܣܦܬ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܝܥܪܐ ܘܟܘ̈ܒܐ ܘܬܣܦ ܒܣܘ̈ܟܐ ܕܥܒܐ ܘܢܬܥܪܩܠܘܢ ܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܒܬܢܢܐ
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.	18 ܒܟܐܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܙܥܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܟܠܬܗ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܓܒܪ ܥܠ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܢܚܘܣ
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.	19 ܘܢܓܙܘܪ ܥܠ ܝܡܝܢܗ ܘܢܟܦܢ ܘܢܐܟܘܠ ܥܠ ܣܡܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܢܣܒܥܘܢ ܓܒܪ ܒܣܪܐ ܕܕܪܥܗ ܢܐܟܘܠ
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:	20 ܡܢܫܐ ܠܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܐܦܪܝܡ ܠܡܢܫܐ ܘܐܟܚܕܐ ܥܠ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܦܟ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܝܕܗ ܪܡܐ
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
