| 3 ܡܢܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܝܘܡܐ ܕܦܘܪܥܢܐ ܘܠܕܠܘܚܝܐ ܕܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܐܬ̇ܐ ܠܘܬ ܡ̇ܢ ܬܥܪܩܘܢ ܕܬܬܥܕܪܘܢ ܘܠܘܬ ܡ̇ܢ ܬܫܒܩܘܢ ܐܝܩܪܟܘܢ | 3 What will you do in the day of visitation, and of the calamity which cometh from afar? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory? |
| 4 ܕܠܐ ܬܒܪܟܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܐܣܝܪܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܩܛܝܠܐ ܬܦܠܘܢ ܘܒܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܗܦܟ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܬܘܒ ܐܝܕܗ ܪܡܐ | 4 That you be not bowed down under the bond, and fall with the slain? In all these things his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. |
| 5 ܘܝ ܠܐܬܘܪܝܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܚܘܛܪܐ ܗܘ ܒܐܝܕܗܘܢ ܕܡܚܘܬܝ | 5 Woe to the Assyrian, he is the rod and the staff of my anger, and my indignation is in their hands. |
| 6 ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܚܠܦܐ ܐܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܘܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܐܟܬܢܐ ܐܦܩܕܝܘܗܝ ܕܢܫܒܐ ܫܒܝܐ ܘܢܒܘܙ ܒܙܬܐ ܘܢܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܕܝܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܣܝܢܐ ܕܫ̈ܘܩܐ | 6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will give him a charge against the people of my wrath, to take away the spoils, and to lay hold on the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. |
| 7 ܘܗܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܕܡܝ ܘܒܠܒܗ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܬܚܫܒ ܐܠܐ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܒܠܒܗ ܘܢܣܝܦ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ | 7 But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few. |
| 8 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܗܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ | 8 For he shall say: |
| 9 ܗܐ ܐܝܟ ܟܪܟܡܘܫ ܒܠܝܘ ܘܐܝܟ ܪܦܕ ܚܡܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܪܡܣܘܩ ܫܡܪܝܢ | 9 Are not my princes as so many kings ? is not Calano as Charcamis: and Emath as Arphad? is not Samaria as Damascus? |
| 10 ܘܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܠܡ̈ܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܕ̈ܓܠܝܦܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܡܢ ܫܡܪܝܢ | 10 As my hand hath found the kingdome of the idol, so also their idols of Jerusalem, and of Samaria. |
| 11 ܘܐܝܟ ܕܥܒ̇ܕܬ ܠܫܡܪܝܢ ܘܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗ̇ | 11 Shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? |

| 13 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܒܚܝܠܐ ܕܐܝܕܝ ܥܒ̇ܕܬ ܘܒܚܟܡܬܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܣܟܘܠܬܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܥܒ̇ܪܬ ܬܚ̈ܘܡܝܗܘܢ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܢܟܣ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܒܙ̇ܬ ܘܟܒܫ̇ܬ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܬܐ ܕܝ̈ܬ̇ܒܢ | 13 For he hath said: By the strength of my own hand I have done it, and by my own wisdom I have understood: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have taken the spoils of the princes, and as a mighty man hath pulled down them that sat on high. |
| 14 ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܐܝܟ ܩܢܐ ܠܚܝܠܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܟܢ̇ܫܝܢ ܒܢ̈ܬܐ ܕܫܒ̈ܝܩܢ ܟܢܫ̇ܬܗ̇ ܠܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܓܦܐ ܘܦܬ̇ܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܢܨ̇ܪ | 14 And my hand hath found the strength of the people as a nest; and as eggs are gathered, that are left, so have I gathered all the earth: and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or made the least noise. |
| 15 ܕܠܡܐ ܡܫܬܒܚ ܢܪܓܐ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܦܣ̇ܩ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܡܬܬܪܝܡ ܡܣܪܐ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܣ̇ܪ ܒܗ ܐܘ ܡܫܬܩܠ ܫܒܛܐ ܥܠ ܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܠܗ | 15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that cutteth with it? or shall the saw exalt itself against him by whom it is drawn? as if a rod should lift itself up against him that lifteth it up, and a staff exalt itself, which is but wood. |
| 16 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܢܫܕܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܐܒܕܢܐ ܥܠ ܫܡܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܚܠܦ ܐܝܩܪܗ ܢܐܩܕ ܝܩܕܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܝܩܕܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ | 16 Therefore the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send leanness among his fat ones: and under his glory shall be kindled a burning, as it were the burning of a fire. |
| 17 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܠܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܕܝܫ̈ܘܗܝ ܠܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܘܬܘܩܕ ܘܬܐܟܘܠ ܝܥܪܗ ܘܟ̈ܘܒܘܗܝ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܚܕ | 17 And the light of Israel shall be as a fire, and the Holy One thereof as a flame: and his thorns and his briers shall be set on fire, and shall be devoured in one day. |
| 18 ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܥܒܗ ܘܕܟܪܡܠܗ ܡܢ ܢܦܫܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܒܣܪܐ ܢܓܡܪ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ | 18 And the glory of his forest, and of his beautiful hill, shall be consumed from the soul even to the flesh, and he shall run away through fear. |
| 19 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܕܩܝ̈ܣܐ ܕܥܒܗ ܠܡܢܝܢܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܘܛܠܝܐ ܢܟܬܘܒ ܐܢܘܢ | 19 And they that remain of the trees of his forest shall be so few, that they shall easily be numbered, and a child shall write them down. |

| 21 ܘܫܪܟܐ ܢܬܦܢܘܢ ܫܪܟܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܘܬ ܐܝܠ ܓܢܒܪܐ | 21 The remnant shall be converted, the remnant, I say, of Jacob, to the mighty God. |

| 23 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܓܡܘܪܝܐ ܘܦܣܝܩ̈ܬܐ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܟܠܗ̇ ܐܪܥܐ | 23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land. |

| 25 ܡܛܠ ܕܥܕ ܩܠܝܠ ܙܥܘܪ ܘܢܫܬܡܠܐ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܚܡܬܝ ܥܠ ܚܒܠܗܘܢ | 25 For yet a little and a very little while, and my indignation shall cease, and my wrath shall be upon their wickedness. |

| 28 ܐܬܐ ܠܥܢܬ ܘܥܒܪ ܒܡܓܕܘ ܘܒܡܟܡܣ ܣܡ ܡܐ̈ܢܘܗܝ | 28 He shall come into Aiath, he shall pass into Magron: at Machmas he shall lay up his carriages. |
| 29 ܥܒܪ ܠܡܥܒܪܐ ܕܓܒܥ ܠܒܝܬ ܒܝܬܢ ܕܚܠܬ ܪܡܬܐ ܘܓܒܥܬ ܫܐܘܠ ܥܪܩܬ | 29 They have passed in haste, Gaba is our lodging: Rama was astonished, Gabaath of Saul fled away. |
