| 2 ܥܒܕ ܦܘܡܝ ܐܝܟ ܣܝܦܐ ܚܪܝܦܐ ܘܒܛܠܠܐ ܕܐܝܕܗ ܛܫܝܢܝ ܥܒܕܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܓܐܪܐ ܓܒܝܐ ܘܒܩܛܪܩܗ ܣܬܪܢܝ | 2 And he has appointed my mouth as a sharp sword. In the shadow of his hand, he has protected me. And he has appointed me as an elect arrow. In his quiver, he has hidden me. |
| 3 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܥܒܕܝ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܒܟ ܡܫܬܒܚ ܐܢܐ | 3 And he has said to me: “You are my servant, Israel. For in you, I will glory.” |
| 4 ܘܠܐ ܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܠܙܪܥܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܠܐ̇ܝܬ ܘܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܚܝܠܝ ܠܣܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܕܝܢܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܥ̇ܒܕܝ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܝ | 4 And I said: “I have labored toward emptiness. I have consumed my strength without purpose and in vain. Therefore, my judgment is with the Lord, and my work is with my God.” |
| 5 ܗܫܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܓܒܠܢܝ ܒܡܪܒܥܐ ܕܐܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܐܦܢܐ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܟܢܫ ܐܫܬܒܚ̇ܬ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܠܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܘܫܢܝ | 5 And now, says the Lord, who formed me from the womb as his servant, so that I may bring back Jacob to him, for Israel will not be gathered together, but I have been glorified in the eyes of the Lord and my God has become my strength, |
| 6 ܘܐܡܪ ܙܥܘܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܥܒܕܐ ܘܬܩܝܡ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ̈ ܘܬܦܢܐ ܢܘܪܒܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܝܗܒ̇ܬܟ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܦܘܪܩܢܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܣ̈ܘܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ | 6 and so he has said: “It is a small thing that you should be my servant so as to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and so as to convert the dregs of Israel. Behold, I have offered you as a light for the Gentiles, so that you may be my salvation, even to the furthest regions of the earth.” |
| 7 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܦܪܘܩܗ ܠܕܡܣܬܠܝܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܕܡܣܠܝ ܡܢ ܥܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܥܒ̈ܕܐ ܕܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܘܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܘܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܢܣܓܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܛܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܓܒܟ | 7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, to a contemptible soul, to an abominable nation, to the servant of lords: The kings will see, and the princes will rise up, and they will adore, because of the Lord. For he is faithful, and he is the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. |
| 8 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܕܨܒܝܢܐ ܥܢ̇ܝܬܟ ܘܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܥܕܪܬܟ ܘܓܒ̇ܠܬܟ ܘܝܗ̇ܒܬܟ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܢܘܗܪܐ ܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܬܩܝܡ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܬܐܪܬ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܚܪ̈ܒܬܐ | 8 Thus says the Lord: In a pleasing time, I have heeded you, and in the day of salvation, I have assisted you. And I have preserved you, and I have presented you as a covenant of the people, so that you would lift up the earth, and possess the scattered inheritances, |
| 9 ܘܬܐܡܪ ܠܐܣܝܪ̈ܐ ܕܦܘܩܘ ܘܠܚܒܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܐܬܓܠܘ ܥܠ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܢܪܥܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܫ̈ܒܝܠܐ ܡܪ̈ܥܝܬܗܘܢ | 9 so that you would say to those who are bound, “Go forth!” and to those who are in darkness, “Be released!” They will pasture along the roads, and their pastures will be in every open place. |
| 10 ܠܐ ܢܟܦܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܨܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܟܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܘܒܐ ܘܫܡܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܪܚܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܕܒܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܡܒ̈ܘܥܐ ܕܡ̈ܝܐ ܢܝܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ | 10 They will not hunger or thirst, nor will the heat of the sun beat down upon them. For the one who takes pity on them will rule them, and he will give them to drink from fountains of waters. |
| 11 ܐܥܒܕ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܘܫ̈ܒܝܠܐ ܢܬܬܪܝܡܘܢ | 11 And I will make all my mountains into a road, and my paths will be exalted. |
| 12 ܗܠܝܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܘܗܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܕܣܢܝܡ | 12 Behold, some will come from far away, and behold, others from the north and from the sea, and still others from the land of the south. |
| 13 ܫܒܚܘ ܫܡܝܐ ܘܕܘܨܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܬܦܨܚܘ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܝܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܡܗ ܘܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܒ̇ܝܫ̈ܘܗܝ | 13 Give praise, O heavens! And exult, O earth! Let the mountains give praise with jubilation! For the Lord has consoled his people, and he will take pity on his poor ones. |
| 14 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܨܗܝܘܢ ܕܫܒܩܢܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܛܥܢܝ | 14 And Zion said: “The Lord has abandoned me, and the Lord has forgotten me.” |
| 15 ܐܢ ܛܥ̇ܝܐ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܥܘܠܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܡܪܚܡܐ ܥܠ ܒܪ ܡ̈ܥܝܗ̇ ܐܦܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢ̈ܛܥܝܢ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܛܥܝܟܝ | 15 Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to take pity on the child of her womb? But even if she would forget, still I shall never forget you. |
| 16 ܗܐ ܥܠ ܦܣ̈ܐ ܕܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܪܫܡ̇ܬܟܝ ܘܫܘܪ̈ܝܟܝ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܡܝܢܐܝܬ | 16 Behold, I have engraved you on my hands. Your walls are always before my eyes. |
| 17 ܒܥܓܠ ܒܢܝ̈ܟܝ ܡܣܚ̈ܦܢܝܟܝ ܘܡܚܪ̈ܒܢܝܟܝ ܡܢܟܝ ܢܦܩܘܢ | 17 Your builders have arrived. Those who would tear you down and destroy you, they will depart from you. |
| 18 ܐܪܝܡܝ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܟܝ ܠܚܕܪ̈ܝܟܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܘܐ̇ܬܝܢ ܠܟܝ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܬܐ ܬܠܒܫܝܢ ܘܬܬܟܠܠܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܟܠܬܐ | 18 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: all these have been gathered together; they have come to you. As I live, says the Lord, you shall be clothed with all these things, as if with an ornament. And like a bride, you shall wrap these things all around you. |
| 19 ܡܛܠ ܕܚܪ̈ܒܬܟܝ ܘܨܕܝ̈ܬܟܝ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܕܣܚܝܦܘܬܟܝ ܡܟܝܠ ܬܬܐܠܨ ܡܢ ܝܬܒܐ ܘܢܥܪܩܘܢ ܒ̈ܠܘܥܝܟܝ | 19 For your deserts, and your solitary places, and the land of your ruination will now be too narrow, because of all the inhabitants. And those who devoured you will be chased far away. |
| 20 ܬܘܒ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝܟܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܡܓܙܝܘܬܟܝ ܐܠܝܨ ܗܘ ܠܢ ܐܬܪܐ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܠܢ ܢܬܒ | 20 Even the children of your barrenness will say in your ears: “This place is too narrow for me. Make me a spacious place in which to dwell.” |
| 21 ܘܬܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܟܝ ܡܢܘ ܝܠܕ ܠܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܓܙܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܡܫܘܚܕܬܐ ܓܠܝܬܐ ܘܡܕܘܕܬܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡ̇ܢ ܪܒܝ ܐܢ ܐܢܐ ܗܐ ܐܫܬܚ̇ܪܬ ܒܠܚܘܕܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܝܟܐ ܗܘܘ | 21 And you will say in your heart: “Who has conceived them? I was barren and unable to give birth. I was taken away and held captive. And so, who has raised them? I was destitute and alone. And so, where have they been?” |
| 22 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܐ ܡܪܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܐܝܕܝ ܥܠ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܪܝܡ ܐܬܐ ܘܢܝܬܘܢ ܠܒܢ̈ܝܟܝ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܒ̈ܢܬܟܝ ܥܠ ܟܬ̈ܦܬܗܘܢ ܢܫܩܠܘܢ | 22 Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lift up my hand to the Gentiles, and I will exalt my sign before the peoples. And they will carry your sons in their arms, and they will bear your daughters on their shoulders. |
| 23 ܘܢܗܘܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܡܪ̈ܒܝܢܝܟܝ ܘܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܬܗܘܢ ܡܝܢܩܢܝ̈ܬܟܝ ܘܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܢܣܓܕܘܢ ܠܟܝ ܘܥܦܪܐ ܕܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܝ ܢܠܚܟܘܢ ܘܬܕܥܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܒܗ̇ܬܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܣܟܝܢ ܠܝ | 23 And kings will be your caretakers, and queens will be your nursemaids. They will reverence you with their face to the ground, and they will lick the dust at your feet. And you will know that I am the Lord. For those who hope in him will not be confounded. |
| 24 ܠܡܐ ܡܬܕܒܪܐ ܕܒܪܬܗ ܕܓܢܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܫܒܝܬܗ ܕܥܫܝܢܐ ܡܬܦܨܝܐ | 24 Can prey be taken from the strong? Or is anything taken captive by the powerful able to be saved? |
| 25 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܕܒܪܬܗ ܕܓܢܒܪܐ ܬܬܕܒܪ ܘܫܒܝܬܗ ܕܥܫܝܢܐ ܬܬܦܨܐ ܘܕܝ̈ܢܝܟܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܕܘܢ ܘܠܒܢ̈ܝܟܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܦܪܘܩ | 25 For thus says the Lord: Certainly, even the captives will be taken away from the strong, even what has been taken by the powerful will be saved. And truly, I will judge those who have judged you, and I will save your children. |
| 26 ܘܐܘܟܠ ܠܐ̈ܠܘܨܝܟܝ ܒܣܪܗܘܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܡܐܪܝܬܐ ܢܪܘܘܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܘܢ ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܟܠ ܒܣܪ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܦܪܘܩܟܝ ܘܡܣܝܥܢܟܝ ܬܩܝܦܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ | 26 And I will feed your enemies their own flesh. And they will be inebriated with their own blood, as with new wine. And all flesh will know that I am the Lord, who saves you, and your Redeemer, the Strong One of Jacob. |
