| 2 ܕܐܙܠܘ ܠܡܚܬ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܦܘܡܝ ܠܐ ܫܐܠܘ ܕܢܬܥܫܢܘܢ ܒܥܘܫܢܗ ܕܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܢܣܬܬܪܘܢ ܒܛܠܠܗ̇ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ | 2 who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my counsel, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! |
| 3 ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܥܘܫܢܗ ܕܦܪܥܘܢ ܠܒܗܬܬܐ ܘܣܬܪܐ ܕܛܠܠܗ̇ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܬܚܦܝܬܐ | 3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation. |
| 4 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܒܨܥܢ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܘܗܝ ܘܡܠܐ̈ܟܘܗܝ ܚ̈ܠܦܐ ܢܠܐܘܢ | 4 For though his officials are at Zoan and his envoys reach Hanes, |
| 5 ܠܘܬ ܥܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܗܢܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܠܒܗܬܬܐ ܘܠܚܣܕܐ | 5 every one comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them, that brings neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace." |
| 6 ܡܫܩܠܐ ܕܒܥܝܪܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܐܠܝܨܬܐ ܘܡܥܝܩܬܐ ܐܪܝܐ ܘܓܘܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܣܦܣ ܘܚܪܡܢܐ ܕܦ̇ܪܚ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ ܥܠ ܚܨܐ ܕܥܝ̈ܠܐ ܥܘܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܥܠ ܓܒܐ ܕܓܡ̈ܠܐ ܓܙܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܗܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ | 6 An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb. Through a land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them. |
| 7 ܘܡܨܪ̈ܝܐ ܒܣܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܡܥܕܪܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܩ̇ܪܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܣܪܝܩ ܗܘ ܬܘܟܠܢܗܘܢ ܗܢܐ | 7 For Egypt's help is worthless and empty, therefore I have called her "Rahab who sits still." |

| 9 ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܘ ܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܕ̈ܓܠܐ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܢܡܘܣܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 9 For they are a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the instruction of the LORD; |
| 10 ܕܐܡܪܘ ܠܚ̈ܙܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܚܙܘܢ ܘܠܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܬܢܒܘܢ ܠܢ ܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ ܡܠܠܘ ܠܢ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܘܚܙܘ ܠܢ ܟܕܒܘܬܐ | 10 who say to the seers, "See not"; and to the prophets, "Prophesy not to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, |
| 11 ܘܐܣܛܐܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܐܗܦܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܫܒܝ̈ܠܐ ܘܒܛܠܘ ܡܢܢ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 11 leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more of the Holy One of Israel." |

| 13 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܘܪܥܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܫܘܪܐ ܪܡܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܒܪܗ | 13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a break in a high wall, bulging out, and about to collapse, whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant; |
| 14 ܘܬܒܪܗ ܐܝܟ ܬܒܪܐ ܕܡܐܢܐ ܕܦܚܪܐ ܕܬܒܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܚܘܣܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܫܬܟܚ ܒܬܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܚܨܦܐ ܠܡܣܒ ܒܗ ܢܘܪܐ ܡܢ ܝܩܕܢܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܠܡܓܪܦ ܒܗ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܓܘܒܐ | 14 and its breaking is like that of a potter's vessel which is smashed so ruthlessly that among its fragments not a sherd is found with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern." |
| 15 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܐ ܕܬܒܬܘܢ ܘܐܬܬܢܚܬܘܢ ܬܬܦܪܩܘܢ ܘܒܫܠܝܐ ܘܒܣܒܪܐ ܬܗܘܐ ܓܢܒܪܘܬܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܣܬܘܢ | 15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." And you would not, |
| 16 ܘܐܡܪܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܠ ܪ̈ܟܫܐ ܢܪܟܒ ܘܥܠ ܩ̈ܠܝܠܐ ܢܥܪܘܩ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܬܥܪܩܘܢ ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܩܠܝܠܝܢ ܪ̈ܕܘܦܝܟܘܢ | 16 but you said, "No! We will speed upon horses," therefore you shall speed away; and, "We will ride upon swift steeds," therefore your pursuers shall be swift. |
| 17 ܐܠܦ ܡܢ ܟܐܬܐ ܕܚܕ ܘܡܢ ܟܐܬܐ ܕܚܡܫܐ ܬܥܪܩܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܬܫܬܚܪܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܥܪ̈ܕܐ ܥܠ ܪܝܫ ܛܘܪܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܬܐ ܥܠ ܪܡܬܐ | 17 A thousand shall flee at the threat of one, at the threat of five you shall flee, till you are left like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, like a signal on a hill. |
| 18 ܡܛܠ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܪܚܡܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܬܬܪܝܡ ܠܡܪܚܦܘ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܝ̇ܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܛܘܒܝܗܘܢ ܠܟܠ ܕܡܣܟܝܢ ܠܗ | 18 Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you; therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. |
| 19 ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡܐ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܝܬ̇ܒ ܘܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܒܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܒܟܘܢ ܡܪܚܡܘ ܢܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܩܠܐ ܕܓܥܬܟܘܢ. ܡܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܢܥܢܝܟܘܢ | 19 Yea, O people in Zion who dwell at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when he hears it, he will answer you. |
| 20 ܘܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܚܡܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܟܢܫ ܬܘܒ ܠܡܛܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܘܢܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܒܡܛܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܘܢ | 20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide himself any more, but your eyes shall see your Teacher. |
| 21 ܘܐ̈ܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܢܫ̈ܡܥܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܢ ܒܣܬܪܟܘܢ ܕܐܡ̇ܪܐ ܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܙܠܘ ܒܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܬܣܛܘܢ ܠܝܡܝܢܐ ܘܠܣܡܠܐ | 21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left. |
| 22 ܘܬܛܘܫܘܢ ܣܐܡܐ ܕܩܪܝܡ ܠܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܘܦܕܬܐ ܕܢܣܟܬܐ ܕܕܗܒܗܘܢ ܘܬܕܪܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܟܦܣܢܝܬܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܦܬܐ ܬܦܩܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ | 22 Then you will defile your silver-covered graven images and your gold-plated molten images. You will scatter them as unclean things; you will say to them, "Begone!" |
| 23 ܘܢܬܝܗܒ ܡܛܪܐ ܠܙܪܥܟܘܢ ܕܬܙܪܥܘܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܘܥܒܘܪܐ ܕܙܪܥܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܕܗܝܢ ܘܫܡܝܢ ܪܥܝܐ ܕܒܥܝܪܟܘܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܫܡܝܢܐ | 23 And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and grain, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your cattle will graze in large pastures; |
| 24 ܘܒܩܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܪ̈ܘܢܐ ܕܦܠܚ̇ܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܒܠܝܠܐ ܚܡܝܡܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܕܡܣܠܩ ܒܪܦܫܐ ܘܒܡܕܪܝܐ | 24 and the oxen and the asses that till the ground will eat salted provender, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. |
| 25 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܛܘܪ ܕܪܡ ܘܥܠ ܟܠ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܪܡܐ ܢܪܕܘܢ ܬ̇ܦܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܩܛܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܒܣܘܚܦܐ ܕܡ̈ܓܕܠܐ | 25 And upon every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. |
| 26 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܣܗܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܫܡܫܐ ܘܢܘܗܪܗ ܕܫܡܫܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܒܫܒ̈ܥܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܫܒܥܐ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܢ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܢܥܨܘܒ ܡܪܝܐ ܬܒܪܐ ܕܥܡܗ ܘܟܐܒܐ ܕܡܚܘܬܗ ܢܐܣܐ | 26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the LORD binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow. |
| 27 ܗܐ ܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܬ̇ܐ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܝܩ̇ܕ ܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܫܒܝܚ ܡܫܩܠܗ ܘܣ̈ܦܘܬܗ ܡ̈ܠܝܢ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܠܫܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܕܝܩ̇ܕܐ | 27 Behold, the name of the LORD comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire; |
| 28 ܘܪܘܚܗ ܐܝܟ ܢܚܠܐ ܕܓ̇ܪܦ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܨܘܪܐ ܢܦܣܘܩ ܠܡܕܠܚ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܡܛܠ ܛܥܝܘܬܗܘܢ ܣܪܝܩܬܐ ܘܠܦܓܘܕܬܐ ܡܛܥܝܢܝܬܐ ܕܥܠ ܦܟܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ | 28 his breath is like an overflowing stream that reaches up to the neck; to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction, and to place on the jaws of the peoples a bridle that leads astray. |
| 29 ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܟܠܝܠܐ ܕܐܬܩܕܫ ܒܚܓܐ ܘܚܕܘܬܗ ܕܠܒܐ ܐܝܟ ܗܘ̇ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܚܕܘܬܐ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܠܛܘܪܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܩܝܦܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 29 You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one sets out to the sound of the flute to go to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel. |
| 30 ܘܢܫܡܥ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܩܠܗ ܘܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܕܪܥܗ ܢܚܘܐ ܒܚܡܬܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܒܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܕܐܟ̇ܠܐ ܒܙܪܝܦܬܐ ܕܚܒ̇ܛܐ ܘܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܕܒܪܕܐ | 30 And the LORD will cause his majestic voice to be heard and the descending blow of his arm to be seen, in furious anger and a flame of devouring fire, with a cloudburst and tempest and hailstones. |
| 31 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܪܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܬܬܒܪ ܐܬܘܪܝܐ ܘܒܫܒܛܐ ܢܒܠܥ | 31 The Assyrians will be terror-stricken at the voice of the LORD, when he smites with his rod. |
| 32 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥ̇ܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܚܘܛܪܐ ܕܫܘܥܒܕܐ ܕܢܢܝܚ ܡܪܝܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܒ̈ܦܠܓܐ ܘܒܟܢܪ̈ܐ ܘܒܩܪܒܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܢܬܟܬܫ ܒܗ | 32 And every stroke of the staff of punishment which the LORD lays upon them will be to the sound of timbrels and lyres; battling with brandished arm he will fight with them. |
| 33 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܛܝܒ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܡܐܟܘܠܬܗ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܐܬܛܝܒܬ ܕܬܡܠܟ ܘܥܡܩܬ ܘܪܘܚܬ ܒܝܬ ܡܥܡܪܗ̇ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܝܢ ܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܘܢܘܪܐ ܘܢܫܡܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܢܚܠܐ ܘܟܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܩ̇ܕܐ ܒܗ | 33 For a burning place has long been prepared; yea, for the king it is made ready, its pyre made deep and wide, with fire and wood in abundance; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, kindles it. |
