| 23 ܘܫܦܪ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܠܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܒܬܫܒܚ̈ܬܐ ܘܠܡܣܡ ܦܚܡܐ ܕܡ̈ܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܫܪܪܐ ܕܟܬ̈ܒܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܐܣܦܪ̈ܛܝܐ ܦܚܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܟܬܒܢ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ | 23 And it pleased the people to receive the men honourably, and to put a copy of their words in the public records, to be a memorial to the people of the Spartans. And we have written a copy of them to Simon the high priest. |

| 28 ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܕܥܡܐ ܘܪ̈ܫܝ ܥܡܐ ܘܕܣ̈ܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܘܕܥܢܟܘܢ | 28 In a great assembly of the priests, and of the people, and the princes of the nation, and the ancients of the country, these things were notified: Forasmuch as there have often been wars in our country, |
| 29 ܡܛܠ ܕܣܓܝ ܙܒܢ̈ܬܐ ܗܘܘ ܩܪ̈ܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܗ ܕܡܬܝܬܐ ܒܪ ܒܢܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܝܘܢܕܒ ܘܐ̈ܚܘܗܝ ܐܫܠܡܘ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܠܩܝܢܕܘܢܘܣ ܘܩܡܘ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܒܥܠܕܒ̈ܒܐ ܕܥܡܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܢܡܘܣܗܘܢ ܘܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܗܘܢ ܘܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܫܒܚܘܗܝ ܠܥܡܗܘܢ | 29 And Simon the son of Mathathias of the children of Jarib, and his brethren have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. |
| 30 ܘܟܢܫ ܝܘܢܬܢ ܠܥܡܗ ܘܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܒܟ̈ܗܢܐ ܘܐܬܟܢܫ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܗ | 30 And Jonathan gathered together his nation, and was made their high priest, and he was laid to his people. |

| 32 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܩܡ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܩܪܒ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܐܦܩ ܢܦܩ̈ܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܙܝܢܐ ܠܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܗ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܐ | 32 Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages: |
| 33 ܘܐܥܫܢ ܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܫܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܥܠ ܬܚܘ̈ܡܝܗ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܣܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܙܝܢܐ ܕܡܕܝ̈ܢܬܐ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܬܡܢ ܢܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ | 33 And he fortified the cities of Judea, and Bethsura that lieth in the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies was before: and he placed there a garrison of Jews. |
| 34 ܘܐܥܫܢ ܒܚܣ̈ܢܐ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܕܥܠ ܝܡܐ ܘܠܓܙܪ ܕܥܠ ܬܚܘ̈ܡܐ ܕܙܘܛܘܣ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܒܥܠܕܒ̈ܒܐ ܘܐܥܡܪ ܬܡܢ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܬܘܪܣܝܐ ܘܠܩܘܝܡܐ ܣܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܬܡܢ | 34 And he fortified Joppe which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation. |
| 35 ܘܚܙܐ ܥܡܐ ܥܒܕܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܠܥܡܗ ܘܣܡܘܗܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܪܒ ܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܘܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܛܪ ܠܥܡܗ ܘܒܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܐܝܬ ܨܒܐ ܕܢܪܡܪܡ ܠܥܡܗ | 35 And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince, and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice, and faith, which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. |
| 36 ܘܒܝܘܡ̈ܬܗ ܬܩܢܬ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܢܓܡܪ ܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ ܘܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܒܐܪܫܠܡ ܐܦ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܛܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܠܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܡܪܕܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܛܐܡܝܢ ܚܕܪ̈ܝ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܘܥܒܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ | 36 And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity. |
| 37 ܘܐܥܡܪ ܒܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܐܥܫܢܗ ܒܚ̈ܣܢܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܡܪܕܐ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܬܪܐ ܘܐܪܝܡ ܘܥܠܝ ܫܘܪ̈ܝܗ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 37 And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem. |
| 38 ܘܕܡܛܪܝܘܣ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܩܝܡ ܠܗ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܪܒܘܬ ܟܗܢܘܬܐ | 38 And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood. |
| 39 ܘܥܒܕܗ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܡܠܟܐ ܘܫܒܚܗ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ | 39 According to these things he made him his friend, and glorified him with great glory. |
| 40 ܐܫܬܡܥ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܬܩܪܝܘ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܪ̈ܗܘܡܝܐ ܐܚ̈ܐ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܘܡܥܕܪ̈ܢܐ ܘܕܐܪܥܘ ܠܐܝܙ̈ܓܕܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ | 40 For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour: |
| 41 ܘܕܨܒܘ ܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܪܒ ܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܠܥܠܡ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܢܒܝܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ | 41 And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince, and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: |
| 42 ܗܘ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܢܐܨܦ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܘܠܡܩܡܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܠ ܥܒܕܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܙܝܢܗܘܢ | 42 And that he should be chief over them, and that he should have the charge of the sanctuary, and that he should appoint rulers over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the strong holds. |
| 43 ܘܥܠ ܚܣܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܕܢܗܘܐ ܝܨܦ ܥܠ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܘܕܗܘܘ ܡܫܬܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܢܫ ܘܕܗܘܘ ܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܟ̈ܬܒܐ ܕܡܣܒܐ ܘܕܡܬܠܐ ܕܒܐܪܥܗ ܘܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܟܣܝ ܐܪ̈ܓܘܢܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ | 43 And that he should have care of the holy places: and that he should be obeyed by all, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name: and that he should be clothed with purple, and gold: |
| 44 ܘܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܠܐ ܠܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܘ ܕܢܩܘܡ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܟܠ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܘܗܝ ܐܘ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܐܢܫ ܨܒܘ ܒܠܥܕܘܗܝ ܘܕܢܗܘܐ ܡܟܣܝ ܐܪ̈ܓܘܢܐ ܘܣܝܡ ܦܝܒܠܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ | 44 And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold: |
| 45 ܟܠ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܕܝܢ ܐܘ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܚܝܒ | 45 And whosoever shall do otherwise, or shall make void any of these things shall be punished. |

| 47 ܘܩܒܠ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܨܛܒܝ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܡܕܒܪܢܐ ܘܪܝܫ ܥܡܐ ܕܝܗܘ̈ܕܝܐ ܘܕܟܗ̈ܢܐ ܘܝܨܘܦܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ | 47 And Simon accepted thereof, and was well pleased to execute the office of the high priesthood, and to be captain, and prince of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests, and to be chief over all. |
| 48 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܢܬܟܬܒ ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܒܦܢܩ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܢܚܫܐ ܘܕܢܣܝܡܘܢ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܩܕܫܐ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ | 48 And they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary, in a conspicuous place: |
| 49 ܦܚܡܗܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܢܬܬܣܝܡ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܕܢܗ̈ܘܝܢ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ | 49 And that a copy thereof should be put in the treasury, that Simon and his sons may have it. |
