| 2 ܘܕܒܪܗ ܪܒ ܕܚܫ̈ܐ ܠܐܪܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟ ܐܡܪ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ | 2 And the general of the army taking Jeremias, said to him: The Lord thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place, |

And the general of the army gave him victuals and presents, and let him go. |
| 6 ܘܐܬܐ ܐܪܡܝܐ ܠܘܬ ܓܕܠܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܚܝܩܡ ܒܪ ܫܦܢ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ ܘܝܬܒ ܠܘܬܗ ܒܓܘ ܥܡܐ ܕܐܫܬܚܪܘ ܒܐܪܥܐ | 6 And Jeremias went to Godolias the son of Ahicam to Masphath: and dwelt with him in the midst of the people that were left in the land. |

| 10 ܘܐܢܐ ܗܐ ܝܬܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܡܨܦܝܐ ܠܡܩܡ ܩܕܡ ܟ̈ܠܕܝܐ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܘܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܡܘܠܘ ܥܒܘܪܐ ܘܚܡܪܐ ܘܡܫܚܐ ܘܐܒܐ ܕܩܝܛܐ ܘܐܪܡܘ ܒܡ̈ܐܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܬܒܘ ܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܕܐܚܕܬܘܢ | 10 Behold I dwell in Masphath, that I may answer the commandment of the Chaldeans that are sent to us: but as for you, gather ye the vintage, and the harvest, and the oil, and lay it up in your vessels, and abide in your cities which you hold. |
| 11 ܐܦ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܗ̈ܘܕܝܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܐܕܘܡ ܘܒܡܘܐܒ ܘܒܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܘܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܪ̈ܥܬܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܕܫܒܩ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܫܪܟܢܐ ܠܝܗ̈ܘܕܝܐ ܘܕܐܫܠܛ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܓܕܠܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܚܝܩܡ ܒܪ ܫܦܢ | 11 Moreover all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and in Edom, and in all the countries, when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant in Judea, and that he had made Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan ruler over them: |
| 12 ܘܗܦܟܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܝܗ̈ܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܓܕܠܝܐ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ ܘܚܡܠܘ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܥ̈ܠܠܬܐ ܕܩܝܛܐ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܛܒ | 12 All the Jews, I say, returned out of all the places to which they had fled, and they came into the land of Juda to Godolias to Masphath: and they gathered wine, and a very great harvest. |
| 13 ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܚ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܪ̈ܒܝ ܚܝ̈ܠܐ ܕܒܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܘܬ ܓܕܠܝܐ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ | 13 Then Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the army, that had been scattered about in the countries, came to Godolias to Masphath. |
| 14 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܬ ܕܒܠܥܝܣ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܫܕܪ ܠܐܝܫܡܥܝܠ ܒܪ ܢܬܢܝܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܟ ܘܠܐ ܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܓܕܠܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܚܝܩܡ | 14 And they said to him: Know that Baalis the king of the children of Ammon hath sent Ismahel the son of Nathanias to kill thee. And Godolias the son of Ahicam believed them not. |
| 15 ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܚ ܐܡܪ ܠܓܕܠܝܐ ܡܛܫܝܐܝܬ ܒܡܨܦܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܐܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܝܫܡܥܝܠ ܒܪ ܢܬܢܝܐ ܘܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܕܥ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܩܛܠܟ ܘܢܬܒܕܪܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܕܡܬܟܢܫܝܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܢܐܒܕ ܫܪܟܢܐ ܕܝܗ̈ܘܕܝܐ | 15 But Johanan the son of Caree, spoke to Oodolias privately in Masphath, saying: I will go, and I will kill Ismahel the son of Nathanias, and no man shall know it, lest he kill thee, and all the Jews be scattered, that are gathered unto thee, and the remnant of Juda perish. |
| 16 ܘܐܡܪ ܓܕܠܝܐ ܒܪ ܐܚܝܩܡ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܒܪ ܩܘܪܚ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܡܠܠܬ ܥܠ ܐܝܫܡܥܝܠ | 16 And Codolias the son of Ahicam said to Johanan the son of Cares: Do not this thing: for what thou sayst of Ismahel is false. |
