| 1 ܢܦܠ ܒܝܠ ܘܐܣܬܚܦ ܢܒܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܓܠܝ̈ܦܐ ܛܥ̈ܢܐ ܥܕܝ̈ܕܐ ܠܚܝܘܬܐ ܘܠܒܥܝܪܐ ܟܦܢܬܐ | 1 Bel bows down, Nebo stoops, their idols are upon beasts and cattle; They must be borne up on shoulders, carried as burdens by the weary. |
| 2 ܐܣܬܚܦܘ ܘܢܦܠܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܠܡܫܘܙܒܘ ܛܥܘ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܒܫܒܝܐ ܢܦܫ̈ܬܗܘܢ | 2 They stoop and bow down together; unable to save those who bear them, they too go into captivity. |
| 3 ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܟܠܗ ܫܪܟܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܡܫܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܟܪܣܐ ܘܡܫܬܩܠܝܢ ܒܡܪܒܥܐ | 3 Hear me, O house of Jacob, all who remain of the house of Israel, My burden since your birth, whom I have carried from your infancy. |
| 4 ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣܝܒܘܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܩܫܝܫܘܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܣܒܘܠ ܐܢܐ ܥܒ̇ܕܬ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܫܩܘܠ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܣܒܘܠ ܘܐܦܨܐ | 4 Even to your old age I am the same, even when your hair is gray I will bear you; It is I who have done this, I who will continue, and I who will carry you to safety. |
| 5 ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܦܚܡܬܘܢܢܝ | 5 Whom would you compare me with, as an equal, or match me against, as though we were alike? |
| 6 ܠܕܛܥ̇ܝܢ ܘܡܦܩܝܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܡܢ ܟܝܣ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܣܐܡܐ ܒܡܣܐܬܐ ܬܩ̇ܠܝܢ ܘܐܓ̇ܪܝܢ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܘܥܒ̇ܕܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܣ̇ܓܕܝܢ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܠܗ | 6 There are those who pour out gold from a purse and weigh out silver on the scales; Then they hire a goldsmith to make it into a god before which they fall down in worship. |
| 7 ܘܫܩ̇ܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܟܬ̈ܦܬܗܘܢ ܘܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܣܝ̇ܡܝܢ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܕܘܟܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܠܡܩܡ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܬܗ ܘܐܦ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܠܐ ܥ̇ܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܦ̇ܪܩ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ | 7 They lift it to their shoulders to carry; when they set it in place again, it stays, and does not move from the spot. Although they cry out to it, it cannot answer; it delivers no one from distress. |
| 8 ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܐܬܒܝܢܘ ܘܐܝܬܘ ܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܐ̈ ܥܠ ܠܒܟܘܢ | 8 Remember this and be firm, bear it well in mind, you rebels; remember the former things, those long ago: |
| 9 ܐܬܕܟܪܘ ܩܕܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܬܘܒ ܐܠܗ ܘܠܝܬ ܐܟܘܬܝ | 9 I am God, there is no other; I am God, there is none like me. |
| 10 ܡܚܘܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܫܝܬܐ ܐܚܪ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܥܒܕ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܐܢܐ ܬܪܥܝܬܝ ܡܩܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܨܒܝܢܝ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ | 10 At the beginning I foretell the outcome; in advance, things not yet done. I say that my plan shall stand, I accomplish my every purpose. |
| 11 ܩ̇ܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܛܝܪܐ ܘܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܪܚܝܩܬܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܬܪܥܝܬܝ ܐܢܐ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܦ ܡ̇ܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܓܒ̇ܠܬ ܘܐܦ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ | 11 I call from the east a bird of prey, from a distant land, one to carry out my plan. Yes, I have spoken, I will accomplish it; I have planned it, and I will do it. |
| 12 ܫܘܡܥܘܢܝ ܥܫܝܢ̈ܝ ܠܒܐ̈ ܪ̈ܚܝܩܝ ܡܢ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ | 12 Listen to me, you fainthearted, you who seem far from the victory of justice: |
| 13 ܩܪܒܬ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܝ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܝ ܠܐ ܢܘܚܪ ܘܐܬܠ ܒܨܗܝܘܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܝ | 13 I am bringing on my justice, it is not far off, my salvation shall not tarry; I will put salvation within Zion, and give to Israel my glory. |
