| 1 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܫܢܬܐ ܬܫܝܥܝܬܐ ܒܥܣܪܬܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܕܥܣܪܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 1 On the tenth day of the tenth month, in the ninth year, the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 2 ܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܟܬܘܒ ܠܟ ܫܡܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܣ̇ܡܟ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܒܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 2 Son of man, write down this date today, for this very day the king of Babylon has invested Jerusalem. |
| 3 ܘܐܡܬܠ ܡܬܠܐ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܐ ܡܡܪܡܪܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܬܦܝ ܩܕܣܐ ܘܣܘܟ ܒܗ ܡ̈ܝܐ | 3 Propose this parable to the rebellious house: Thus says the Lord GOD: Set up the pot, set it up, then pour in some water. |
| 4 ܘܐܪܡܐ ܒܗ ܢܩܣ̈ܐ ܕܛܒܝ̈ܢ ܘܫܡܝܢ̈ܝܢ ܟܬܦܐ ܕܫܡܝܛ ܓܪܡܗ̇ | 4 Put in it pieces of meat, all good pieces: thigh and shoulder; Fill it with the choicest joints |
| 5 ܡܢ ܓܒ̈ܝܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܘܓܪ̈ܡܐ ܬܚܝܬ ܩܕܣܐ ܫܓܘܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܘܩܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܬܚܘܬܘܗܝ | 5 taken from the pick of the flock. Then pile the wood beneath it; bring to a boil these pieces and the joints that are in it. |
| 6 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܕܩܕܣܐ ܬܦܐ ܒܗ̇ ܘܥܘ̣ܠܗ̇ ܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܡܢܗ̇ ܗܕܡ ܗܕܡ ܦܘܣܩܘܗ̇ ܘܦܣܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܥܠܝܗ̇ | 6 Take out its pieces, one by one, without casting lots for it. Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: Woe to the bloody city, a pot containing rust, whose rust has not been removed. |
| 7 ܡܛܠ ܕܕܡܗ̇ ܒܓܘܗ̇ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܣܡ̇ܬܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܕܬܗ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܣܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܥܦܪܐ | 7 For the blood she shed is in her midst; she poured it on the bare rock; she did not pour it out on the earth, to be covered with dust. |
| 8 ܕܬܣܩ ܚܡܬܐ ܠܦܘܪܥܢܘܬܐ ܝܗ̇ܒܬ ܕܡܗ̇ ܥܠ ܟܐܦܐ ܫܥܝܥܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܟܣܐ | 8 To work up my wrath, to excite my vengeance, she put her blood on the bare rock, not to be covered. |
| 9 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܕܡܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܘܪܒ ܡܥܡܪܐ | 9 Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD: I, too, will heap up a great bonfire, |
| 10 ܘܐܣܓܐ ܩܝܣ̈ܐ ܘܐܫܒܘܩ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܢܒܫܠ ܒܣܪܐ ܘܐܪܬܚ ܪܬܚܐ ܘܓܪ̈ܡܐ ܢܐܩܕܘܢ | 10 piling on wood and kindling the fire, Till the meat has been cooked, till the broth has boiled. |
| 11 ܘܐܩܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܪܬܚܐ ܥܠ ܓܘܡܪ̈ܐ ܕܢܚܡ ܘܢܬܦܫܪ ܢܚܫܗ̇ ܘܬܬܡܣܐ ܒܓܘܗ̇ ܛܢܦܘܬܗ̇ ܘܢܫܠܡ ܦܘܪܥܢܗ̇ | 11 Then I will set the pot empty on the coals till its metal glows red hot, till the impurities in it melt, and its rust disappears. |
| 12 ܐܝܟ ܬܐ̈ܢܐ ܟܪ̈ܝܗܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܦܘܩ ܡܢܗ̇ ܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܥܘ̣ܠܗ̇ ܐܠܐ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܦܘܪܥܢܗ̇ | 12 Yet not even with fire will its great rust be removed. |
| 13 ܥܠ ܕܐܬܛܢܦܬܝ ܒܙܢܝܘܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܕܕܟܝ̇ܬܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܕܟܝܬܝ ܡܢ ܛܢܦܘܬܟܝ ܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܬܕܟܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܢܝܚ ܒܟܝ ܚܡܬܝ | 13 Because you have sullied yourself with lewdness when I would have purified you, and you refused to be purified of your uncleanness, therefore you shall not be purified until I wreak my fury on you. |
| 14 ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܘܡܝܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܘܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܚܦ ܘܠܐ ܐܚܘܣ ܘܠܐ ܐܪܚܡ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟܝ ܘܐܝܟ ܨܢ̈ܥܬܟܝ ܐܕܘܢܟܝ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ | 14 I, the LORD, have spoken; it is coming, for I will bring it about without fail. I will not have pity nor repent. By your conduct and your deeds you shall be judged, says the Lord GOD. |
| 15 ܘܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 15 Thus the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 16 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܗܐ ܢܣ̇ܒ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܪܓܬܐ ܕܥܝܢ̈ܝܟ ܒܡܚܘܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܫܠܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܩܕ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܠܚ ܕܡܥܬܟ | 16 Son of man, by a sudden blow I am taking away from you the delight of your eyes, but do not mourn or weep or shed any tears. |
| 17 ܐܠܐ ܐܫܬܢܩ ܒܕܡܐ ܕܡܝ̈ܬܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܒܟ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܘܡܐ̈ܢܝܟ ܚܙܘܩ ܥܠܝܟ ܘܡܣ̈ܢܝܟ ܣܝܡ ܒܪ̈ܓܠܝܟ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܥܛܦ ܥܠ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܟ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܟܘܠ | 17 Groan in silence, make no lament for the dead, bind on your turban, put your sandals on your feet, do not cover your beard, and do not eat the customary bread. |
| 18 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܡܝܬܬ ܐܢܬܬܝ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܘܠܨܦܪܗ ܕܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܒ̇ܕܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܦܩ̇ܕܬ | 18 That evening my wife died, and the next morning I did as I had been commanded. |
| 19 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܥܡܐ ܠܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܢ ܡ̇ܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܥܒ̇ܕ ܐܢܬ | 19 Then the people asked me, "Will you not tell us what all these things that you are doing mean for us?" I therefore spoke to the people that morning, |
| 20 ܘܐܡ̇ܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܬܓܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܝ ܠܡܐܡܪ | 20 saying to them: Thus the word of the LORD came to me: |
| 21 ܐܡܪ ܠܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܗܐ ܡܛܘܫ ܐܢܐ ܡܩܕܫܝ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܥܘܫܢܟܘܢ ܘܪܓܬܐ ܕܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܚܘܣܝܐ ܕܢܦܫ̈ܬܟܘܢ ܘܒ̈ܢܝܟܘܢ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܟܘܢ ܕܫܒ̇ܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܢܦܠܘܢ | 21 Say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord GOD: I will now desecrate my sanctuary, the stronghold of your pride, the delight of your eyes, the desire of your soul. The sons and daughters you left behind shall fall by the sword. |
| 22 ܘܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܥܒ̇ܕܬ ܘܥܠ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܥܛܦܘܢ ܘܠܚܡܐ ܕܒܢܝܢܫ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ | 22 You shall do as I have done, not covering your beards nor eating the customary bread. |
| 23 ܘܣܥܪܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܣܬܦܪ ܘܡܣ̈ܢܝܟܘܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܒܪ̈ܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܩܕܘܢ ܘܬܬܡܣܘܢ ܒܥܘ̣ܠܟܘܢ ܘܬܬܒܝܐܘܢ ܐܢܫ ܥܠ ܐܚܘܗܝ | 23 Your turbans shall remain on your heads, your sandals on your feet. You shall not mourn or weep, but you shall rot away because of your sins and groan one to another. |
| 24 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܚܙܩܝܐܝܠ ܐܬܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ ܬܥܒܕܘܢ ܘܬܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ | 24 Ezekiel shall be a sign for you: all that he did you shall do when it happens. Thus you shall know that I am the LORD. |
| 25 ܐܢܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܢܣ̇ܒ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܥܘܫܢܐ ܕܚܕܘܬܐ ܕܫܘܒܚܗܘܢ ܘܪܓܬܐ ܕܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܘܚܘܣܝܐ ܕܢܦܫܬ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܒܢܝ̈ܗܘܢ ܘܒܢ̈ܬܗܘܢ | 25 As for you, son of man, truly, on the day I take away from them their bulwark, their glorious joy, the delight of their eyes, the desire of their soul, and the pride of their hearts, their sons and daughters, |
| 26 ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܡܬܦܨܝܢܐ ܘܢܫܡܥܟ ܒܐ̈ܕܢܝܟ | 26 that day the fugitive will come to you, that you may hear it for yourself; |
| 27 ܘܢܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܟ ܡܬܦܨܝܢܐ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܘܬܡܠܠ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܬܚܪܫ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܐ ܘܢܕܥܘܢ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܪܝܐ | 27 that day your mouth shall be opened and you shall be dumb no longer. Thus you shall be a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the LORD. |
