| 1 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܡܠܟܐ ܨܪܝ ܠܒ̈ܘܫܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܟܣܝ ܣܩܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 1 And when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord. |
| 2 ܘܫܕܪ ܠܐܠܝܩܝܡ ܪܒ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܠܫܒܢܐ ܣܦܪܐ ܘܠܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܟܕ ܡܟܣܝܢ ܣܩ̈ܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܡܘܨ | 2 And he sent Eliacim, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloths, to Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, |
| 3 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܘܕܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ. ܘܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܛܝܘ ܚܒ̈ܠܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܚܝܠܐ ܒܝܠܕܬܐ | 3 And they said to him: Thus saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: the children are come to the birth, and the woman in travail hath not strength. |
| 4 ܛܟ ܢܫܡܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܪܒ ܫܩ̈ܐ ܕܫܕܪܗ ܡܪܗ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܬܘܪܝܐ ܠܡܚܣܕܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܘܢܟܣܝܘܗܝ ܒܡ̈ܠܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܘܬܒܥܐ ܘܬܨܠܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܟܐ ܕܐܫܬܚܪܘ | 4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and to reprove with words, which the Lord thy God hath heard: and do thou offer prayer for the remnants that are found. |
| 5 ܘܐܬܘ ܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ | 5 So the servants of king Ezechias came to Isaias. |

| 7 ܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܢܫܡܥ ܛܒܐ ܘܢܗܦܘܟ ܠܐܪܥܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܘܗܝ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܗ | 7 Behold I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return into his own country, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own country. |

| 13 ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܚܡܬ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܕܪܦܕ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܐ ܣܦܪܘܝܡ ܘܕܢܥ ܘܕܥܘܐ | 13 Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana and of Ava? |
| 14 ܘܢܣܒ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܘܣܠܩ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܦܪܣ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܐܓܪ̈ܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ | 14 And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord, |
| 15 ܘܨܠܝ ܚܙܩܝܐ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܟܪ̈ܘܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܒܠܚܘܕܝܟ ܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܥܒܕܬ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ | 15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sitteth upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and earth: |
| 16 ܨܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܕܢܟ ܘܫܡܥ ܦܬܚ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܘܚܙܝ ܘܫܡܥ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܣܢܚܪܝܒ ܕܫܠܚ ܠܡܚܣܕܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ | 16 Incline thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to upbraid unto us the living God. |
| 17 ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܪܒܘ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ ܠܟܘܠܗܝܢ ܐܪ̈ܥܬܐ ܘܐܪܥܗܘܢ | 17 Of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have destroyed nations, and the lands of them all. |

| 21 ܗܢܐ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܝܛܐ ܠܟ ܘܡܡܝܩܐ ܒܟ ܒܬܘܠܬܐ ܒܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܘܡܢܝܕܐ ܪܝܫܗ ܒܬܪܟ ܒܪܬ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 21 This is the word, that the Lord hath spoken of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem hath wagged her head behind thy back. |

And I have entered into the furthest parts thereof, and the forest of its Carmel. |
| 24 ܐܢܐ ܐܚܦܘܪ ܘܐܫܬܐ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܘܒܫ ܒܦܪ̈ܣܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܟܫܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܗܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܥܫ̈ܝܢܐ | 24 I have cut down, and I have drunk strange waters, and have dried up with the soles of my feet all the shut up waters. |

| 33 ܐܠܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܗ ܢܗܦܘܟ ܘܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܢܥܘܠ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ | 33 By the way that he came, he shall return: and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord. |

And when he arose early in the morning, he saw all the bodies of the dead. |
| 36 ܘܫܩܠܘ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܘܗܦܟ ܣܢܚܪܝܒ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܘܪ ܘܝܬܒ ܒܢܝܢܘܐ | 36 And Sennacherib king of the Assyrians departing went away, and he returned and abode in Ninive. |
