| 4 ܒܕܡܐ ܕܐܫܕܬܝ ܐܬܚܝܒܬܝ ܘܒܦܬܟܪ̈ܐ ܕܥܒܕܬܝ ܐܬܛܡܐܬܝ ܩܪܒܘ ܝܘܡ̈ܝܟܝ ܘܡܛܝ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܫܢܝܟܝ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܝܗ̇ܒܬܟܝ ܚܣܕܐ ܠܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܡܘܝܩܐ ܠܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢ̈ܬܐ | 4 Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries. |
| 5 ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܪ̈ܚܝܩܢ ܡܢܟܝ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪ̈ܝܒܢ ܠܟܝ ܢܡ̈ܝܩܢ ܒܟܝ ܘܢܐܡܪ̈ܢ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܕܫ̈ܡܗܬܗ̇ ܘܣܓܝܐܬ ܒܥܘ̈ܠܝܗ̇ | 5 Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction. |
| 6 ܗܐ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܫܪܒܬܗ ܗܘܘ ܒܟܝ ܕܢܐܫܕܘܢ ܕܡܐ | 6 Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood. |

| 8 ܘܩܘ̈ܕܫܝ ܐܣܠܝܬܝ ܘܫ̈ܒܝ ܛܘܫܬܝ | 8 Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths. |

| 15 ܘܐܒܕܪܟܝ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܐܕܪܝܟܝ ܒܡ̈ܕܝܢܬܐ | 15 And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee. |
| 16 ܘܐܪܬܟܝ ܠܥܝܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܘܬܕܥܝܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ | 16 And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord. |
| 17 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 18 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܘܘ ܠܝ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܡܣ̈ܠܝܐ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܢܚܫܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܢܟܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܒܪܐ ܒܓܘ ܟܘܪܐ ܕܚܠܝܛܝܢ ܒܣܐܡܐ | 18 Son of man, the house of Israel is become dress to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dress of silver. |
| 19 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܕܐܬܚܠܛܬܘܢ ܟܠܟܘܢ ܗܐ ܡܟܢܫ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܓܘ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dress, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem. |
| 20 ܐܝܟ ܕܡܬܟܢܫ ܣܐܡܐ ܘܢܚܫܐ ܘܦܪܙܠܐ ܘܐܢܟܐ ܘܐܒܪܐ ܒܓܘ ܟܘܪܐ ܘܢܦ̇ܚܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܕܢܬܦܫܪܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܟܢܫܟܘܢ ܒܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܒܚܡܬܝ ܐܦܫܪܟܘܢ | 20 As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down. |
| 21 ܘܐܦܘܚ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܘܪܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܐܦܫܪܟܘܢ ܒܓܘܗ̇ | 21 And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof. |

| 23 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 24 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ̇ ܐܢܬܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܝ ܕܟܝܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܨܛܒܥܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܬ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܡܛܪܐ | 24 Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath. |

| 26 ܟܗ̈ܢܝܗ̇ ܐܥܠܝܘ ܒܢܡܘܣܝ ܘܛܘܫܘ ܩܘܕܫܝ ܘܒܝܬ ܩܘܕܫܐ ܠܛܡܐܐ ܠܐ ܦܪܫܘ ܘܒܝܬ ܡܣܝܒܐ ܠܕܟܝܐ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܘܡܢ ܫܒ̈ܝ ܐܡܟܘ ܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܛܘ̇ܫܬ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ | 26 Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them. |
| 27 ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܝܗ̇ ܒܓܘܗ̇ ܐܝܟ ܕܐ̈ܒܐ ܚܛ̇ܦܝܢ ܠܡܐܫܕ ܕܡܐ ܘܠܡܘܒܕܘ ܢܦܫ̈ܬܐ ܕܢܩܢܘܢ ܩܢܝܢܐ | 27 Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness. |
| 28 ܘܢܒܝ̈ܝܗ̇ ܛܪܘ ܠܗ̇ ܛܪܝܐ ܕܬܦܠ ܚܙܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܣܪܝܩܘܬܐ ܘܩܨܡܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܓܠܘܬܐ ܘܐܡ̇ܪܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܪ | 28 And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken. |
| 29 ܠܥܡܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܛܠܡܘ ܘܬܟܘ ܘܥܠܒܘ ܠܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ ܘܠܒ̇ܝܫ̈ܐ ܘܠܕܡܬܦܢܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܛܠܡܘ ܕܠܐ ܒܕܝܢܐ | 29 The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment. |
| 30 ܘܒܥ̇ܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܣܐ̇ܓ ܣܝܓܐ ܘܩܐ̇ܡ ܒܬܘܪܥܬܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܐܚܒܠܝܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚ̇ܬ | 30 And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none. |
| 31 ܘܐܫ̇ܕܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܘܓܙܝ ܘܒܢܘܪܐ ܕܚܡܬܝ ܐܣܝ̇ܦܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܗܘܢ ܦܪܥ̇ܬ ܒܪܫܗܘܢ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ | 31 And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God. |
