Deuteronomy 19

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;	1 ܘܟܕ ܢܘܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ. ܘܬܐܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܬܬܒ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܒ̈ܬܝܗܘܢ.
2 Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.	2 ܬܠܬ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܦܪܘܫ ܠܟ ܒܓܘ ܐܪܥܟ ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܝܘܪܬܢܐ.
3 Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.	3 ܛܝܒ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܬܠܬ ܬܚ̈ܘܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܘܪܬ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܕܢܗܘܐ ܥ̇ܪܩ ܠܬܡܢ ܟܠ ܩܛܘܠܐ.
4 And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;	4 ܘܗܢܘ ܙܕܩܗ ܕܩܛܘܠܐ. ܕܩ̇ܛܠ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܘܚܝ̇ܐ. ܡܐ ܕܩ̣ܛܠ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܕܠܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ. ܘܠܐ ܣ̇ܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܡܢܬܡܠܝ.
5 As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:	5 ܘܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܥܡ ܚܒܪܗ ܠܥܒܐ ܕܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܠܡܦܣܩ. ܘܢܪܝܡ ܐܝܕܗ ܒܢܪܓܐ ܠܡܦܣܩ ܩܝܣܐ. ܘܢܫܬܡܛ ܦܪܙܠܐ ܡܢ ܩܝܣܐ. ܘܢܡܚܐ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܘܢܡܘܬ. ܗܢܐ ܢܥܪܘܩ ܠܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܢܚܐ.
6 Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.	6 ܕܠܐ ܟܕ ܢܪܕܘܦ ܬܒ̇ܥ ܥܝܪܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܒܬܪ ܩܛܘܠܐ ܒܚܡܝܡܘܬܐ ܕܠܒܗ ܘܢܕܪܟܝܘܗܝ . ܟܕ ܬܗܘܐ ܣܓܝܐܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܚܝܒ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ. ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܣ̇ܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܡܢܬܡܠܝ.
7 Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.	7 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܘܐ̇ܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ. ܕܬܦܪܘܫ ܠܟ ܬܠܬ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ.
8 And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;	8 ܘܟܕ ܢܪܘܚ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܬܚܘܡܟ ܐܝܟ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܟ. ܘܢܬܠ ܠܟ ܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܠܐ̈ܒܗܝܟ.
9 If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:	9 ܐܢ ܬܛܪ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܬܥܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܦܩܕ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܝܘܡܢܐ. ܕܬܪܚܡ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܘܬܗܠܟ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗ ܟܘܠܗܘܢ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ. ܬܘܣܦ ܠܟ ܬܘܒ ܬܠܬ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܬܠܬ.
10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.	10 ܕܠܐ ܢܬܐܫܕ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܒܓܘ ܐܪܥܟ ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ. ܘܢܬܚܫܒ ܥܠܝܟ ܕܡܐ .
11 But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:	11 ܘܐܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܣ̇ܢܐ ܠܚܒܪܗ ܘܢܟܡܢ ܠܗ ܘܢܩܘܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ. ܘܢܡܚܝܘܗܝ ܘܢܡܘܬ. ܘܢܥܪܘܩ ܠܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ.
12 Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.	12 ܢܫܕܪܘܢ ܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܗ. ܘܢܕܒܪܘܢܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ. ܘܢܫܠܡܘܢܗ ܒܝܕ ܬܒ̇ܥ ܥܝܪܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܘܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ.
13 Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.	13 ܘܠܐ ܬܚܘܣ ܥܝܢܟ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܬܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ. ܘܥܩܒ ܕܡܐ ܙܟܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܢܛܐܒ ܠܟ.
14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.	14 ܠܐ ܬܫܢܐ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܕܬܚܡܘ ܩ̈ܕܡܝܐ ܒܝܪܬܘܬܟ. ܕܬܐܪܬ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܠܡܐܪܬܗ̇.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.	15 ܠܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܣܗܕܐ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ. ܥܠ ܟܠ ܣܟܠܘܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܛܗܐ ܒܟܠ ܚܛܗܐ ܕܢܚܛܐ. ܥܠ ܦܘܡ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܣܗ̈ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܥܠ ܦܘܡ ܬܠܬܐ ܣܗ̈ܕܝܢ ܬܬܩܝܡ ܡܠܬܐ.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;	16 ܘܐܢ ܢܩܘܡ ܣܗܕܐ ܕܓܠܐ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ. ܘܢܣܗܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܘܠܐ.
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;	17 ܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܬܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢ̣ܐ. ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܩܕܡ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܕܝ̇ܢܐ. ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܗ̇ܢܘܢ.
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;	18 ܘܢܥܩܒܘܢ ܕܝ̣̈ܢܐ ܫܦܝܪ. ܘܢܚܙܘܢ ܐܢ ܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܓܠܬܐ ܒ̇ܥܐ ܗܘܐ. ܕܢܣܗܕ ܥܠ ܐܚܘܗܝ.
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.	19 ܥܒܕܘ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܚܫܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ. ܘܒܥܪܘ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.	20 ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܝܢ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܢܕܚܠܘܢ. ܘܠܐ ܢܘܣܦܘܢ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ. ܒܝܫܐ ܒܝܢܬܟܘܢ.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.	21 ܠܐ ܬܚܘܣ ܥܝܢܟ. ܐܠܐ ܢܦܫܐ ܚܠܦ ܢܦܫܐ. ܥܝܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܥܝܢܐ. ܫܢܐ ܚܠܦ ܫܢܐ. ܐܝܕܐ ܚܠܦ ܐܝܕܐ. ܪܓܠܐ ܚܠܦ ܪܓܠܐ.
