| 1 ܘܬܪܨܬ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ | 1 She prospered their works in the hands of the holy prophet. |
| 2 ܘܗܠܟܘ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܝܬܒ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܠܐ ܕܪܝܫ ܢܩܫܘ ܡܫ̈ܟܢܝܗܘܢ | 2 They went through wildernesses that were not inhabited, and in desert places they pitched their tents. |
| 3 ܩܡܘ ܒܩܪܒܐ ܘܡܚܘ ܠܣ̈ܢܐܝܗܘܢ | 3 They stood against their enemies, and revenged themselves of their adversaries. |
| 4 ܘܨܗܝܘ ܥܡܟ ܘܠܟ ܩܪܘ ܘܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܕܛܪܢܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܘܐܣܝܘܬܐ ܠܨܗܝܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܫܪܝܪܬܐ | 4 They were thirsty, and they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the high rock, and a refreshment of their thirst out of the hard stone. |
| 5 ܒܕܐܬܢܩܡܘ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܣܪܘ ܘܐܬܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ | 5 For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith and rejoiced: |
| 6 ܚܠܦ ܡܒܘܥܐ ܕܢܗܪܐ ܕܡܫܬܦܥ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܣܘ̈ܡܩܐ | 6 By the same things they in their need were benefited. |
| 7 ܠܟܘܘܢܐ ܕܛ̈ܠܝܐ ܕܐܬܩܛܠܘ ܒܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܘܝܗܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܚ̈ܝܐ ܛܒ̈ܐ ܕܠܐ ܓܡܪܝܢ | 7 For instead of a fountain of an ever running river, thou gavest human blood to the unjust. |
| 8 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܚܘܝܬ ܕܒܨܗܝܐ ܗܘ ܥܒܕܬ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܠܩܘܒܠܐ ܐܢܘܢ | 8 And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for: |
| 9 ܟܕ ܐܬܒܩܝܘ ܘܒܪ̈ܚܡܐ ܪܕܝܬ ܘܕܒܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܝܕܥܘ ܕܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܡܬܢܓܕܝܢ ܘܡܨܛܥܪܝܢ ܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ | 9 Shewing by the thirst that was then, how thou didst exalt thine, and didst kill their adversaries. |
| 10 ܠܗܠܝܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܒܐ ܓܒܝܬ ܘܒܝܐܬ ܘܒܕܩܬ ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡ̇ܠܟܐ ܙܥܝܦܐ ܩܛܠܬ ܘܚܝܒܬ | 10 For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath and tormented. |
| 11 ܠܪ̈ܚܝܩܐ ܘܠܩܪ̈ܝܒܐ ܫܚܩܬ ܐܢܘܢ | 11 For thou didst admonish and try them as a father: but the others, as a severe king, thou didst examine and condemn. |
| 12 ܘܥܩܬܐ ܥܦܝܦܬܐ ܢܣܒܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܬܐ̈ܢܚܬܐ ܕܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒܪܘ | 12 For whether absent or present, they were tormented alike. |
| 13 ܡܛܠ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܕܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܟܕ ܛܐܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ | 13 For a double affliction came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past. |
| 14 ܐܠܐ ܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܕܡ ܕܓܕܫ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܒܫܘܠܡܐ ܕܡܦܩܬܗܘܢ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܓܥܬܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܙܕܝܩ̈ܐ | 14 For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass. |
| 15 ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܚܫ̈ܒܬܗܘܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗܝܢ ܣܘܟܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܠܘܡܝܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܛܥܘ ܘܫܡܫܘ ܠܪܚܫܐ ܘܠܚ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܡ̈ܠܠܢ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܕܪܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܨܥܪܐ ܚ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡ̈ܡܠܠܢ ܠܦܘܪܥܢܘܬܐ | 15 For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. |
| 16 ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܕܒܡܕܡ ܕܡܣܟܠ ܐܢܫ ܒܗ ܡܬܕܝܢ ܘܡܬܦܪܥ | 16 But for the foolish devices of their iniquity, because some being deceived worshipped dumb serpents and worthless beasts, thou didst send upon them a multitude of dumb beasts for vengeance. |
| 17 ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܓܝܪ ܚܣܝܪܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܚܝܠܬܢܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܪܝܬ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܗܘܠܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܡܨܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܬܫܕܪ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܐ̈ܒܝܢ ܣܓ̈ܝܐܝܢ | 17 That they might know that by what things a man sinneth, by the same also he is tormented. |
| 18 ܐܘ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܒܠܨܘܨ̈ܝܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܒܪ̈ܩܐ ܐܘ ܚܡܬܐ ܕܚܝ̈ܘܬܐ ܣܓܝܐ̈ܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܝ̈ܥܢ ܐܘ ܢܘܪܐ ܕܢܦܚܐ ܘܐܟܠܐ ܐܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܬܢܢܐ ܕܬܐܢ ܐܘ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܠܨܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܒܪ̈ܩܐ | 18 For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions, |
| 19 ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܚܒܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܨܝܢ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܐܠܐ ܕܐܦ ܚܙܘܗܝܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܚܒܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ | 19 Or unknown beasts of a new kind, full of rage: either breathing out a fiery vapour, or sending forth a stinking smoke, or shooting horrible sparks out of their eyes: |
| 20 ܘܣܛܪ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܒܚܕܐ ܪܘܚ ܬܣܝܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܬܘܒܕ ܘܢܬܪܕܦܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܦܘܪܥܢܘܬܟ ܘܬܕܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐ̈ܦܐ ܕܪܘܚܟ ܐܠܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܒܟܝܠܐ ܡܟܝܢܐ ܘܒܛܟܣܐ ܘܒܡܬܩܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ | 20 Whereof not only the hurt might be able to destroy them, but also the very sight might kill them through fear. |
| 21 ܡܛܠ ܕܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܒܟܠ ܙܒܢ ܩܝ̈ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܩܕܡ ܕܪܥܐ ܕܝܡܝܢܟ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܡ | 21 Yea and without these, they might have been slain with one blast, persecuted by their own deeds, and scattered by the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure, and number, and weight. |
| 22 ܕܐܝܟ ܪܦܦ ܥܝܢܐ ܗܝ ܟܠܗ̇ ܓܒܝܠܬܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܘܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܛܠܐ ܕܒܨܦܪܐ ܢܚܬ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ | 22 For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm? |
| 23 ܡܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܕܠܟܠ ܡܨܠܚ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܥܒܪ ܐܢܬ ܣ̈ܟܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܕ ܢܬܘܒܘܢ | 23 For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth: |
| 24 ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܠܟܠ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܡܣܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܘ ܣܢܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܗ | 24 But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance. |
| 25 ܐܝܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܨܒܝܬ ܐܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܬܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܐܠܘ ܠܐ ܕܐܢܬ ܦܩܕܬ | 25 For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it. |
| 26 ܚܐܣ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܟܘܠ ܕܕܝܠܟ ܗܘ ܟܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܪܚܡ ܐܢܬ ܗܘ ܢܦܫ̈ܬܐ | 26 And how could any thing endure, if thou wouldst not? or be preserved, if not called by thee. |
| 27 But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls. |
