| 3 ܩܠܐ ܕܝܠܠܬܐ ܕܪܥܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܒܙܬ ܪܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܪܝܘܬܐ ܕܢܗܡܝܢ ܕܐܬܒܙܙ ܥܘܫܢܗ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ | 3 The voice of the howling of the shepherds, because their glory is laid waste: the voice of the roaring of the lions, because the pride of the Jordan is spoiled. |
| 4 ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܪܥܝ ܠܥܢܐ ܩܛܝܢܬܐ | 4 Thus saith the Lord my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter, |
| 5 ܕܙܒܘܢܝܗܝܢ ܩܛܠܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܝܒܝܢ ܘܡܙܒܢܢܝܗܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܪܝܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܥܬܪܢ ܘܪܥܘܬܗܝܢ ܠܐ ܚܝܣܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܝܢ | 5 Which they that possessed, slew, and repented not, and they sold them, saying: Blessed be the Lord, we are become rich: and their shepherds spared them not. |
| 6 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܚܐܣ ܐܢܐ ܬܘܒ ܥܠ ܥܡܘܪܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܐ ܡܫܠܡ ܐܢܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܢܫ ܒܝܕ ܚܒܪܗ ܘܒܝܕ ܡܠܟܗ ܘܢܦܠܓܘܢܗ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܦܨܝܗ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ | 6 And I will no more spare the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: behold I will deliver the men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall destroy the land, and I will not deliver it out of their hand. |
| 7 ܘܪܥܝܬ ܠܥܢܐ ܩܛܝܢܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܘܢܣܒܬ ܠܝ ܬܪܝܢ ܚܘܛܪܝܢ ܠܚܕ ܩܪܝܬ ܒܣܝܡܐ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܚܒܠܐ ܘܪܥܝܬ ܠܥܢܐ | 7 And I will feed the hock of slaughter for this, O ye poor of the dock. And I took unto me two rods, one I called Beauty, and the other I called a Cord, and I fed the flock. |
| 8 ܘܐܘܒܕܬ ܬܠܬܐ ܪܥܘܬܐ ܒܝܪܚܐ ܚܕ ܘܡܐܢܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܐܦ ܢܦܫܬܗܘܢ ܥܘܝ ܥܠܝ | 8 And I cut off three shepherds in one month, and my soul was straitened in their regard: for their soul also varied in my regard. |
| 9 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܕܠܐ ܐܪܥܝܟܘܢ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܬܡܘܬ ܘܕܐܒܕܐ ܬܐܒܕ ܘܐܝܕܐ ܕܡܫܬܚܪܐ ܬܐܟܘܠ ܒܣܪܐ ܕܚܒܪܬܗ | 9 And I said: I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die: and that which is cut off, let it be cut off: and let the rest devour every one the flesh of his neighbour. |
| 10 ܘܢܣܒܬ ܚܘܛܪܝ ܒܣܝܡܐ ܘܬܒܪܬܗ ܕܢܒܛܠ ܩܝܡܐ ܕܐܩܝܡܬ ܥܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡ̈ܡܐ | 10 And I took my rod that was called Beauty, and I cut it asunder to make void my covenant, which I had made with all people. |
| 11 ܘܒܛܠ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܘܝܕܥܘ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܕܥܢܐ ܕܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܝ ܕܦܬܓܡܗ ܗܘ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 11 And it was made void in that day: and so the poor of the flock that keep for me, understood that it is the word of the Lord. |
| 12 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢ ܫܦܝܪ ܒܥܝܢܝܟܘܢ ܗܒܘ ܠܝ ܐܓܪܝ ܐܘ ܛܠܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܘܬܩܠܘܗܝ ܠܐܓܪܝ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܣܦܐ | 12 And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. |
| 13 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܪܡܝܗܝ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܐܘܩܪܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܢܣܒܬ ܬܠܬܝܢ ܕܟܣܦܐ ܘܐܪܡܝܬ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܓܙܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ | 13 And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary. |
| 14 ܘܬܒܪܬ ܠܚܒܠܐ ܚܘܛܪܝ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܕܐܒܛܠ ܐܘܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܬ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ | 14 And I cut off my second rod that was called a Cord, that I might break the brotherhood between Juda and Israel. |
| 15 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܬܘܒ ܣܒ ܠܟ ܡܐܢܐ ܕܪܥܝܐ ܒܘܪܐ | 15 And the Lord said to me: Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. |
| 16 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܩܝܡ ܐܢܐ ܪܥܝܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܒܕܢ ܠܐ ܢܦܩܘܕ ܘܕܛܥܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܒܥܐ ܘܕܬܒܝܪܢ ܠܐ ܢܥܨܘܒ ܘܕܟܪܝܗܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܣܐ ܘܕܩܝܡܢ ܠܐ ܢܬܪܣܐ ܘܒܣܪܐ ܕܫܡܝܢܬܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܟܪܥܝܗܝܢ ܢܥܪܩ | 16 For behold I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit what is forsaken, nor seek what is scattered, nor heal what is broken, nor nourish that which standeth, and he shall eat the flesh of the fat ones, and break their hoofs. |
| 17 ܐܘ ܪܥܝܐ ܒܘܪܐ ܕܫܒܩܬ ܥܢܐ ܥܠ ܕܪܥܟ ܘܥܠ ܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܪܥܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܢܐܒܫ ܘܥܝܢܟ ܕܝܡܝܢܐ ܬܣܡܐ | 17 O shepherd, and idol, that forsaketh the flock: the sword upon his arm and upon his right eye: his arm shall quite wither away, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. |
