| 2 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 2 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 3 ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܣܒ̈ܐ ܕܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܠܡܫܐܠܘܬܢܝ ܐܬ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ | 3 “Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Have you arrived in order to inquire of me? As I live, I will not answer you, says the Lord God. |
| 4 ܕܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܘܚܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܝܗܘܢ | 4 If you judge them, if you judge, O son of man, reveal to them the abominations of their fathers. |

| 6 ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܐܪܝܡ̇ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܕܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܕܝܐ ܚܠܒܐ ܘܕܒܫܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܬܐ | 6 in that day, I lifted up my hand for their sake, so that I would lead them away from the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which was singular among all lands. |
| 7 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܥܒܪܘ ܐܢܫ ܦܬܟܪܗ ܡܢ ܥܝ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܘܒܕܚ̈ܠܬܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܛܢܦܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ | 7 And I said to them: ‘Let each one cast away the offenses of his eyes, and do not choose to defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’ |
| 8 ܘܡܪܡܪܘܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܫܡܥܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܥܒܪܘ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܩܘ ܕܚ̈ܠܬܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܕܐܫܘܕ ܚܡܬܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܫܡܠܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܒܓܘ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ | 8 But they provoked me, and they were not willing to listen to me. Each one of them did not cast away the abominations of his eyes, nor did they leave behind the idols of Egypt. And so, I said that I would pour out my indignation upon them, and fulfill my wrath against them, in the midst of the land of Egypt. |
| 9 ܘܚܣ̇ܬ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܘܫ ܒܝܬ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܬ̇ܓܠܝܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܥܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܕܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ | 9 But I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated in the sight of the Gentiles, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I appeared to them, so that I might lead them away from the land of Egypt. |
| 10 ܘܐܦܩ̇ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܝܬܝܬ̇ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ | 10 Therefore, I cast them out of the land of Egypt, and I led them away into the desert. |
| 11 ܘܝܗܒ̇ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܕܝ̈ܢܝ ܐܘܕܥܬ̇ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܝ̇ܐ ܒܗܘܢ | 11 And I gave them my precepts, and I revealed to them my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. |

| 13 ܘܡܪܡܪܘܢܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܒܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܘܕܝܢ̈ܝ ܐܣܠܝܘ ܕܐܢ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܝ̇ܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܫ̈ܒܝ ܛܘܫܘ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܕܐܫܘܕ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ | 13 But the house of Israel provoked me in the desert. They did not walk in my precepts, and they cast aside my judgments, which, if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they grievously violated my Sabbaths. Therefore, I said that I would pour out my fury upon them in the desert, and that I would consume them. |
| 14 ܘܚ̇ܣܬ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܘܫ ܠܥܝܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܦܩ̇ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܥܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ | 14 But I acted for the sake of my name, lest it be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, in their sight. |
| 15 ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܪܝܡ̇ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܥ̇ܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܡܪܕܝܐ ܚܠܒܐ ܘܕܒܫܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܗܝ ܕܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܬܐ | 15 And so I lifted up my hand over them in the desert, so as not to lead them into the land that I had given to them, flowing with milk and honey, the foremost of all lands. |
| 16 ܥܠ ܕܐܣܠܝܘ ܕܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܫ̈ܒܝ ܛܒ ܛܘܫܘ ܘܒܬܪ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܗܘܢ | 16 For they cast aside my judgments, and they did not walk in my precepts, and they violated my Sabbaths. For their heart went after idols. |
| 17 ܘܚܣܬ ܥܝܢܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܚܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܣܝܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ | 17 Yet my eye was lenient concerning them, so that I did not utterly destroy them, nor did I consume them in the desert. |
| 18 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܠܒ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܒܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܘܕܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܛܪܘܢ ܘܒܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܛܢܦܘܢ | 18 Then I said to their sons in the wilderness: ‘Do not choose to advance by the precepts of your fathers, nor should you observe their judgments. And do not be defiled by their idols. |
| 19 ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ ܒܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܗܠܟܘ ܘܕܝܢ̈ܝ ܛܪܘ ܘܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ | 19 I am the Lord your God. Walk in my precepts, and observe my judgments, and accomplish them. |
| 20 ܘܩܕܫܘ ܫܒ̈ܝ ܘܢܗ̈ܘܝܢ ܐܬܐ ܒܝ̈ܢܝ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܟܘܢ | 20 And sanctify my Sabbaths, so that these may be a sign between me and you, and so that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’ |
| 21 ܘܡܪܡܪܘܢܝ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܘܒܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܘܕܝܢ̈ܝ ܠܐ ܢܛܪܘ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܥܒ̇ܕ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܚܝ̇ܐ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܫ̈ܒܝ ܛܘܫܘ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܕܐܫܘܕ ܚܡܬܝ ܘܐܫܡܠܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ | 21 But their sons provoked me. They did not walk in my precepts. And they did not observe my judgments, so as to do them; for if a man does them, he shall live by them. And they violated my Sabbaths. And so, I threatened that I would pour out my fury upon them, and that I would fulfill my wrath among them in the desert. |
| 22 ܘܚܣܬ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܛܘܫ ܒܝܬ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܕܐܦܩ̇ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܥܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ | 22 But I turned aside my hand, and I acted for the sake of my name, so that it would not be violated before the Gentiles, from whom I cast them out, before their eyes. |
| 23 ܐܠܐ ܐܪܝܡ̇ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܝ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܐܒܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܕܪܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܐܪ̈ܥܬܐ | 23 Again, I lifted up my hand against them, in the wilderness, so that I would disperse them among the nations, and scatter them among the lands. |
| 24 ܥܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܕܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܐܣܠܝܘ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܝ ܘܛܘܫܘ ܫ̈ܒܝ ܘܒܬܪ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܐܒ̈ܗܝܗܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ | 24 For they had not accomplished my judgments, and they had rejected my precepts, and they had violated my Sabbaths. And their eyes had been after the idols of their fathers. |
| 25 ܘܐܢܐ ܝܗܒ̇ܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܩ̈ܕܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ̈ܝܢ ܘܕܝ̈ܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ | 25 Therefore, I also gave them precepts that were not good, and judgments by which they shall not live. |
| 26 ܘܛܢ̇ܦܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܗܘܢ ܡܐ ܕܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܒܘܟܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ | 26 And I defiled them by their own gifts, when they offered everything that opened the womb, because of their offenses. And they shall know that I am the Lord. |
| 27 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܬܘܒ ܒܗܕܐ ܓܕܦܘ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܒ̈ܗܝܟܘܢ ܒܥܘ̇ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܝ | 27 For this reason, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God. Yet also in this did your fathers blaspheme me, after they had spurned and despised me, |
| 28 ܘܐܝܬܝ̇ܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܪܝܡ̇ܬ ܐܝܕܝ ܠܡܬܠܗ̇ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܟܘܠ ܪܡܬܐ ܕܪܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܐܝܠܢ ܕܡܛܠ ܘܕܒܚܘ ܬܡܢ ܕܒܚܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܩܪܒܘ ܬܡܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܣܡܘ ܬܡܢ ܪܝܚܐ ܕܣܘܬܗܘܢ ܘܢܩܝܘ ܬܡܢ ܢܘܩ̈ܝܗܘܢ | 28 though I had led them into the land, about which I lifted up my hand, so that I might give it to them: They saw every lofty hill and every leafy tree, and there they immolated their victims, and there they presented the provocation of their oblations, and there they stationed their sweet fragrances, and poured out their libations. |
| 29 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܦܪܟܐ ܕܐܬ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܐܬܩܪܝ ܫܡܗ̇ ܦܪܟܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ | 29 And I said to them, ‘What is exalted about the place to which you go?’ And yet its name is called ‘Exalted,’ even to this day. |
| 30 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܐܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܐ̈ܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܡܬܛܢܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܒܬܪ ܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܛܥ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ | 30 Because of this, say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Certainly, you are defiled by the way of your fathers, and you have fornicated after their stumbling blocks. |
| 31 ܘܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܘܗ̈ܒܬܟܘܢ ܘܡܥܒܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܬܛܢܦܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܦܬܟܪ̈ܝܟܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ ܘܨܒ̇ܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܫܐܠܘܢ ܡܢܝ ܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܬ̇ܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܐ | 31 And you are being defiled by all of your idols, even to this day, by the oblation of your gifts, when you lead your sons through the fire. And should I respond to you, O house of Israel? As I live, says the Lord God, I will not answer you. |

And I will gather you from the lands into which you were dispersed. I will reign over you with a powerful hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out. |
| 35 ܐܝܬܝܟܘܢ ܠܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܕܘܢܟܘܢ ܬܡܢ ܐ̈ܦܝܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܢ | 35 And I will lead you into the desert of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you, face to face. |

| 37 ܘܐܥܒܪܟܘܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܒܛܐ ܘܐܥܠܟܘܢ ܒܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܕܕܝܬܩܐ | 37 And I will subject you to my scepter, and I will lead you into the bonds of the covenant. |

And I will lead them away from the land of their sojourn, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord. |

But if in this also you will not listen to me, and you continue to defile my holy name with your gifts and with your idols, |

And I will be sanctified in you before the eyes of the nations. |

And you will be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, over all your evil deeds which you did. |

| 45 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 46 “Son of man, set your face against the way of the south, and pour in drops toward Africa, and prophesy against the forest of the field of the meridian. |
| 47 And you shall say to the meridian forest: Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and I will burn up within you every green tree and every dry tree. The flame of the kindling will not be extinguished. And every face will be burned up within it, from the south, even to the north. |
| 48 And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it, and that it will not be extinguished.” |
| 49 And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! They are saying about me: ‘Does this man not speak except through parables?’ ” |
