| 1 ܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܢܚܠܐ ܕܚܙܝܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟܝ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܣܠܩܬܝ ܟܘܠܟܝ ܠܐܓܪܐ | 1 The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops, |
| 2 ܕܠܘܚܝܐ ܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܩܠܐ ܐܬܡܠܝܬ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܥܫܝܢܬܐ ܩܛܝ̈ܠܝܟܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܘ ܩ̈ܛܝܠܐ ܕܣܝܦܐ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܩܪܒܐ | 2 you who are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword or dead in battle. |
| 3 ܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܝܟܝ ܢܕܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܫܬܐ ܐܬܐܣܪܘ ܕܐܫܬܚܪܘ ܒܟܝ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܐܬܐܣܪܘ ܘܠܪܘܚܩܐ ܥܪܩܘ | 3 All your rulers have fled together, without the bow they were captured. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away. |
| 4 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܫܘܒܩܘܢܝ ܐܬܡܪܡܪ ܒܒܟܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܠܨܘܢ ܠܡܒܝܐܘܬܢܝ ܥܠ ܬܒܪܗ̇ ܕܒܪܬ ܥܡܝ | 4 Therefore I said: "Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people." |
| 5 ܡܛܠ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܠܘܚܝܐ ܘܕܕܝܫܐ ܘܕܒܟܬܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܢܚܠܐ ܕܚܙܝܘܢ ܒܨܐ ܫܘܪܐ ܘܓܥܐ ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ | 5 For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a shouting to the mountains. |
| 6 ܘܥܝܠܡ ܫܩܠ ܩܛܪܩܐ ܒܪ̈ܟܒܐ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܘܫܘܪܐ ܓܠܐ ܣܟܪ̈ܐ | 6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. |
| 7 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܥܘܡܩ̈ܝܟܝ ܡܠܝܢ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܐ ܘܦܪ̈ܫܐ ܢܣܬܕܪܘܢ ܥܠ ܬܪ̈ܥܐ | 7 Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen took their stand at the gates. |
| 8 ܘܝܗܘܕܐ ܢܓܠܐ ܣܕܪ̈ܐ ܘܬܚܙܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܙܝܢܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܥܒܐ | 8 He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest, |
| 9 ܘܬܘܪ̈ܥܬܐ ܕܩܪܝܬܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ ܕܣ̈ܓܝ ܘܟܢܫܬܘܢ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܡܬܐ ܬܚܬܝܬܐ | 9 and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many, and you collected the waters of the lower pool, |
| 10 ܘܡܠܝܬܘܢ ܒ̈ܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܥܩܪܬܘܢ ܒ̈ܬܐ ܕܬܥܫܢܘܢ ܫܘܪܐ | 10 and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. |
| 11 ܘܩ̈ܒܝܬܐ ܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܫܘܪܐ ܠܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܝܡܬܐ ܥܬܝܩܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܚܪܬܘܢ ܠܥܒܘܕܗ̇ ܘܠܓܒܘܠܗ̇ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܬܘܢ | 11 You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago. |
| 12 ܘܩܪܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܠܒܟܬܐ ܘܠܡܪ̈ܩܕܬܐ ܘܠܩ̈ܘܕܚܬܐ ܘܠܟܒܢܐ ܕܣܩ̈ܐ | 12 In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called to weeping and mourning, to baldness and girding with sackcloth; |
| 13 ܘܗܐ ܒܘܣܡܐ ܘܚܕܘܬܐ ܢܟܣܬܐ ܕܬܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܢܟܣܬܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܐ ܕܒܣܪܐ ܘܡܫܬܝܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܢܫܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܚܪ ܢܡܘܬ | 13 and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." |
| 14 ܓܠܝܐ ܗܝ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐ ܬܣܒܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܡܘܬܘܢ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ | 14 The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you till you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts. |
| 15 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܙܠ ܠܘܬ ܣܘܟܢ ܗܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܫܒܢܐ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ | 15 Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him: |
| 16 ܡܢܐ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܬ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܗܪܟܐ ܕܢܩܪܬ ܠܟ ܗܪܟܐ ܩܒܪܐ ܢܩ̇ܪ ܒܪܘܡܐ ܩܒܪܗ ܘܪܫ̇ܡ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܡܫܪܝܗ | 16 What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock? |
| 17 ܗܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܫܕܐ ܫ̇ܕܐ ܠܟ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܡܛܥܐ ܛܥ̇ܐ ܠܟ | 17 Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you, |
| 18 ܢܐܠܨܟ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܐܣܦܪܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܪܘܚܬܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܝܐ ܬܡܢ ܬܡܘܬ ܘܬܡܢ ܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܟ ܨܥܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܡܪܟ | 18 and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master's house. |
| 19 ܘܐܗܓܡܟ ܡܢ ܐܝܩܪܟ ܘܐܣܚܦܟ ܡܢ ܩܝܡܟ | 19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station. |
| 20 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܩܪܐ ܠܥܒܕܝ ܐܠܝܩܝܡ ܒܪ ܚܠܩܝܐ | 20 In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, |
| 21 ܘܐܠܒܫܝܘܗܝ ܟܘܬܝܢܟ ܘܒܗܡܝܢܟ ܐܚܙܩܝܘܗܝ ܘܫܘܠܛܢܟ ܐܬܠ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܘܢܗܘܐ ܐܒܐ ܠܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܫܠܡ ܘܠܓܒܪ̈ܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ | 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. |
| 22 ܘܢܣܝܡ ܩ̈ܠܝܕܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܕܘܝܕ ܥܠ ܟܬܦܗ ܘܢܦܬܚ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܢܐܚܘܕ ܘܢܐܚܘܕ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܢܦܬܚ | 22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. |
| 23 ܘܐܩܫܝܘܗܝ ܣܟܬܐ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ. ܘܢܗܘܐ ܟܘܪܣܝܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܐ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ | 23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house. |
| 24 ܘܢܬܠܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܡܝܩܪܐ ܘܡܫܒܚܐ ܘܟܠ ܡܐܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܙܡܪܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܐܢܐ ܕܟܢܪܐ | 24 And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father's house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons. |
| 25 ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܬܬܥܩܪ ܣܟܬܐ ܕܢܩܝܫܐ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܬܣܬܚܦ ܘܬܦܠ ܘܢܐܒܕ ܫܩܠܐ ܕܣܝܡ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ | 25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken." |
