| 1 ܘܝ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܥܬܐ ܘܥܒܕܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܟܒܗܘܢ ܘܡܩܕܡܝܢ ܒܨܦܪܐ ܘܥܒܕܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܘܫܩܠܝܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ | 1 Woe to those who plan iniquity, and work out evil on their couches; In the morning light they accomplish it when it lies within their power. |
| 2 ܘܪܓܝܢ ܚ̈ܩܠܬܐ ܘܒܬ̈ܐ ܘܢܣܒܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܘܛܠܡܝܢ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܒܩܢܝܢܗ ܘܒܝܪܬܘܬܗ | 2 They covet fields, and seize them; houses, and they take them; They cheat an owner of his house, a man of his inheritance. |
| 3 ܡܛܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܐ ܡܬܚܫܒ ܐܢܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܒܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܪܝܡܘܢ ܡܢܗ̇ ܨܘܪܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܗܠܟܘܢ ܒܩܘܡܬܐ ܦܫܝܛܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܝܫܬܐ | 3 Therefore thus says the LORD: Behold, I am planning against this race an evil from which you shall not withdraw your necks; Nor shall you walk with head high, for it will be a time of evil. |
| 4 ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗ̇ܘ ܢܫܩܘܠ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܡܬܠܐ ܘܒܩܝܢܬܐ ܢܐܠܐ ܐܘܠܝܬܐ ܘܢܐܡܪ ܒܙܘܙܐ ܢܒܙܢ ܘܦܠܓܘܬܗ ܕܥܡܝ ܒܫܘܝܬܐ ܢܦܠܓ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܚ̈ܩܠܬܢ ܒܫܘܝܬܐ | 4 On that day a satire shall be sung over you, and there shall be a plaintive chant: "Our ruin is complete, our fields are portioned out among our captors, The fields of my people are measured out, and no one can get them back!" |
| 5 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܟ ܕܡܫܚ ܒܫܘܝܬܐ ܘܡܦܠܓ ܒ̈ܦܨܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 5 Thus you shall have no one to mark out boundaries by lot in the assembly of the LORD. |
| 6 ܠܐ ܬܕܡܥܘܢ ܕܡ̈ܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܡܥܘܢ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܕܪܟܟܘܢ ܚܣܕܐ | 6 "Preach not," they preach, "let them not preach of these things!" The shame will not withdraw. |
| 7 ܕܐܡܝܪ ܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܐܪܓܙ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܨ̈ܢܥܬܗ ܗܐ ܡ̈ܠܝ ܡܛܐ̈ܒܢ ܥܡ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܐ ܕܐܙܠ | 7 How can it be said, O house of Jacob, "Is the LORD short of patience, or are such his deeds?" Do not my words promise good to him who walks uprightly? |
| 8 ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܥܡܝ ܐܝܟ ܓܢܒܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܫܠܡܗ ܡܫܟܗ ܬܫܛܘܢ ܕܬܥܒܪܘܢ ܣܒܪܗ ܘܬܗܦܟܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ | 8 But of late my people has risen up as an enemy: you have stripped off the mantle covering the tunic Of those who go their way in confidence, as though it were spoils of war. |
| 9 ܢܫ̈ܐ ܕܥܡܝ ܬܫܕܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܦܘܢܩܝ̈ܗܝܢ ܘܡܢ ܝ̈ܠܘܕܝܗܝܢ ܬܣܒܘܢ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܥܠܡ | 9 The women of my people you drive out from their pleasant houses; From their children you take away forever the honor I gave them. |
| 10 ܩܘܡܘ ܙܠܘ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܗܕܐ ܢܝܚܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܛܢܦܘܬܐ ܬܚܒܠ ܚܒܠܐ ܘܚܒܠܗ̇ ܢܥܫܢ | 10 "Up! Be off, this is no place to rest"; For any trifle you exact a crippling pledge. |
| 11 ܓܒܪܐ ܕܡܗܠܟ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܓܠܐܝܬ ܘܟܕܒܐܝܬ ܐܛܦ ܠܟ ܚܡܪܐ ܘܪܘܝܘܬܐ ܘܬܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܡܛܘܦܝܬܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ | 11 If one, acting on impulse, should make the futile claim: "I pour you wine and strong drink as my prophecy," then he would be the prophet of this people. |
| 12 ܡܟܢܫܘ ܐܟܢܫܟ ܠܟܠܟ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܡܩܪܒܘ ܐܩܪܒܟ ܫܪܟܗ ܕܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܘܐܥܒܕܝܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܥܢܐ ܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܓܙܪܐ ܒܓܘ ܪܒܥܗ ܕܡܓܢܝ ܡܢ ܐܢܫܐ | 12 I will gather you, O Jacob, each and every one, I will assemble all the remnant of Israel; I will group them like a flock in the fold, like a herd in the midst of its corral; they shall not be thrown into panic by men. |
| 13 ܣܠܩ ܬܪܘܥܐ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܬܪܥ ܬܘܪܥܬܐ ܘܥܒܪܘ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܒܗ̇ ܘܥܒܪ ܡܠܟܗܘܢ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܒܪܝܫܗܘܢ | 13 With a leader to break the path they shall burst open the gate and go out through it; Their king shall go through before them, and the LORD at their head. |
