| 2 ܟܕ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܚܝ̈ܠܬܐ ܠܐ ܣܟܝܢ ܠܟ ܢܚܬܬ ܘܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܕܠܘ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ | 2 They would melt, as if thoroughly burned by fire. The waters would burn with fire, so that your name might be made known to your enemies, so that the nations would be stirred up before your face. |
| 3 ܡܢ ܥܠܡ ܠܐ ܨܬܘ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܘܥܝܢ ܠܐ ܚܙܬ ܐܠܗ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܟ ܕܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܬ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܣܟܝܢ ܠܟ | 3 When you will perform miracles, we will not be able to withstand them. You descended, and the mountains flowed away before your presence. |
| 4 ܘܦ̇ܓܥ ܐܢܬ ܒܒܘܣܡܐ ܒܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܒ̇ܕܝܢ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟ ܢܬܕܟܪܘܢܟ ܗܐ ܐܢܬ ܪܓܙܬ ܘܚܛܝܢ ܒܗܝܢ ܒܥܠܡ ܢܬܦܪܩ | 4 From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you. |
| 5 ܕܗܘܝܢ ܐܝܟ ܛܡ̈ܐܐ ܟܘܠܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܘܪܩܥܬܐ ܕܟܦܣܢܝܬܐ ܟܠܗ̇ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܢ ܢܬܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܛܪ̈ܦܐ ܟܠܢ ܘܐܝܟ ܥܠܥܠܐ ܫܩܠܘܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܢ | 5 You have met with those who rejoice in doing justice. By your ways, they will remember you. Behold, you have been angry, for we have sinned. In this, we have continued, but we will be saved. |
| 6 ܘܠܝܬ ܕܩ̇ܪܐ ܒܫܡܟ ܘܕܥܗ̇ܕ ܠܡܚܡܣܢܘ ܒܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܗܦܟܬ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܡܢܢ ܘܐܫܠܡܬܢ ܒܝܕ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܢ | 6 And we have all become like the unclean. And all our justices are like a rag of menstruation. And we have all fallen away, like a leaf. And our iniquities have carried us away, like the wind. |
| 7 ܗܫܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܒܘܢ ܐܢܬ ܚܢܢ ܛܝܢܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܓܒܘܠܢ ܘܥ̇ܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟ ܚܢܢ ܟܠܢ | 7 There is no one who calls upon your name, who rises up and holds fast to you. You have concealed your face from us, and you have crushed us with the hand of our own iniquity. |
| 8 ܠܐ ܬܪܓܙ ܡܪܝܐ ܛܒ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܕܟܪ ܠܥܠܡ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܢ ܚܙܝ ܕܥܡܟ ܚܢܢ ܟܠܢ | 8 And now, O Lord, you are our Father, yet truly, we are clay. And you are our Maker, and we are all the works of your hands. |
| 9 ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܟ ܗ̈ܘܝ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܨܗܝܘܢ ܗܘܬ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܚܪܒܬܐ | 9 Do not be so angry, O Lord, and no longer call to mind our iniquity. Behold, consider that we are all your people. |
| 10 ܒܝܬ ܩܘܕܫܢ ܘܬܫܒܘܚܬܢ ܕܫܒܚܘܟ ܐ̈ܒܗܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܠܝܩܕܢܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ̇ ܪܓܬܢ ܗܘܬ ܠܚܘܪܒܐ | 10 The city of your sanctuary has become a desert. Zion has become a desert. Jerusalem is desolate. |
| 11 ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܚܡܣܢܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܫܬܩܬ ܘܡܟܟܬܢ ܛܒ | 11 The house of our sanctification and of our glory, where our fathers praised you, has been completely consumed by fire, and all our admirable things have been turned into ruins. |
| 12 Should you restrain yourself, O Lord, concerning these things? Should you remain silent, and afflict us vehemently? |
