| [1]THEN Zophar, the Naamathite, answered and said, |
[1]ܘܲܥ̣ܢܵܐ ܨܘܿܦܵܪ ܢܲܥ̄ܡܬܲܝܵܐ: ܘܐܸܡ̣ܲܪ. |
| [2]Therefore my discipline has caused me to discern, and for my help it has remained with me. |
[2]ܡܸܛܠ ܗܲܠܟ݂ܵܬ̣ܝ ܐܲܬ̣ܝܼܒ̣ܘܼܢܝ: ܘܡܸܛܠܵܬ̣ܝ ܟܲܬܲܪܘ ܠܝܼ. |
| [3]I will make you hear the instruction of my discipline, and the spirit of my understanding will cause me to answer. |
[3]ܡܲܪܕ̇ܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܡܲܟ̇ܣܵܢܘܼܬ̣ܝ ܐܲܫܡܲܥ ܘܪܘܼܚܵܐ ܕܣܘܼܟܵܠܝ ܢܸܥܢܹܝܢܝ. |
| [4]This I know from of old, since man was created upon the earth, |
[4]ܗܵܕܹܐ ܝܼܕܲܥܹ̇ܬ̣ ܡ̣ܢ ܥܵܠܡܵܐ: ܡ̣ܢ ܕܐܸܬ̣ܒ̇ܪܝܼ ܐܵܕ̣ܵܡ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ: ܡ̣ܢ ܕܲܥܒܲܕ̣ ܠܐ̄ܢܵܫܵܐ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ. |
| [5]That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment. |
[5]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܬܸܫܒ̇ܘܿܚܬ̇ܗܘܿܢ ܕܪ̈ܲܫܝܼܥܹܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܓܵܘܗܘܿܢ. ܘܚܲܕ̣ܘܼܬܹܗ ܕܚܲܢܦܵܐ ܥܕܲܡܵܐ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܠܲܙܒܲܢ ܙܥܘܿܪ. |
| [6]Though his excellency mount up to the heavens and his head reach to the clouds, |
[6]ܐܸܢ ܢܸܣܲܩ ܠܲܫܡܲܝܵܐ ܪܵܘܡܹܗ: ܘܪܹܫܹܗ ܠܲܥܢܵܢܹ̈ܐ ܢܸܡܛܹܐ. |
| [7]Yet he shall perish for ever like a whirlwind; those who have seen him shall say, Where is he? |
[7]ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܥܲܠܥܵܠܵܐ ܠܥܵܠܲܡ ܢܹܐܒܲܕ̣ ܚܵܙ̇ܝܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܢܹܐܡܪܘܼܢ: ܐܲܝܟܵܐ ܗ̄ܘܼ. |
| [8]He shall fly away like a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he shall be chased away like a vision of the night. |
[8]ܘܐܲܝܟ݂ ܚܸܠܡܵܐ ܢܸܦܪܲܚ: ܘܠܵܐ ܢܸܫܬ̇ܟܲܚ. ܘܢܸܦܪܲܕ̣ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܚܸܙܘܵܐ ܕܠܸܠܝܵܐ. |
| [9]The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall they see his place again |
[9]ܥܲܝܢܵܐ ܕܲܚܙܵܬܹܗ: ܬܘܼܒ̣ ܠܵܐ ܬܵܘܣܸܦ ܠܡܸܚܙ̄ܝܹܗ. ܘܠܵܐ ܬܘܼܒ̣ ܢܚܘܼܪܘܼܢ ܐܲܬ̣ܪܹܗ. |
| [10]His children shall be crushed with poverty, and he shall stretch out his hands toward them. |
[10]ܒܢܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܢܸܬ̇ܬܲܒ̣ܪܘܼܢ ܒܡܸܣܟܹ̇ܢܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ. ܘܐܝܼܕ̣ܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܢܵܘ̈ܫܛܵܢ ܒܝܲܠܕܹ̇ܗ. |
| [11]His bones are full of marrow, but they shall lie down with him in the dust. |
[11]ܓܲܪ̈ܡܵܘܗܝ ܡܠܹܝܢ ܡܘܼܚܵܐ. ܘܥܲܡܹܗ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ ܢܸܫܟ̇ܒ̣ܘܼܢ. |
| [12]Though his wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide deceit under his tongue, |
[12]ܐܸܢ ܬܸܒ̣ܣܲܡ ܒܦܘܼܡܹܗ ܒܝܼܫܬܹ̇ܗ: ܘܢܸܟ݂ܠܵܐ ܬܚܹܝܬ̣ ܠܸܫܵܢܹܗ ܢܛܲܫܹܝܘܗܝ. |
| [13]Though he spare it and forsake it not, but keep it still in his mouth; |
[13]ܢܚܘܼܣ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ: ܘܠܵܐ ܢܸܫܒ̇ܩܝܼܘܗܝ ܘܢܸܟ݂ܠܹܝܘܗܝ ܒܓ̣ܵܘ ܚܸܢܟܹܗ. |
| [14]Yet his food in his stomach is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. |
[14]ܠܲܚܡܹܗ ܒܲܡܥܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܢܸܬ̣ܗܲܦܲܟ݂ ܘܡܸܪܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܬܲܢܝܼܢܵܐ ܒܓ̣ܵܘܹܗ. |
| [15]The riches which he had swallowed down, he shall vomit up out of his belly; and God shall destroy him. |
[15]ܘܡܹܐܟ݂ܘܼܠܬܵܐ ܕܲܒ̣ܠܲܥ ܢܬ̣ܝܼܒ̣ܝܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܟܲܪܣܹܗ. ܘܢܵܘܒ̇ܕ݂ܝܼܘܗܝ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ. |
| [16]He shall suck the poison of asps; the tongue of an adder shall slay him. |
[16]ܡܸܪܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܦܲܬ̣ܢܵܐ ܢܹܐܢܲܩ. ܘܠܸܫܵܢܵܐ ܕܐܹܣܦܸܣ ܢܸܩܛܠܝܼܘܗܝ. |
| [17]He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter. |
[17]ܠܵܐ ܢܸܚܙܹܐ ܒܦܘܼܠܵܓ̣ܵܐ ܕܢܲܗܪ̈ܵܘܵܬ̣ܵܐ: ܘܲܕ݂ܪܸ̈ܓ̣ܠܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܕܸܒ̣ܫܵܐ ܘܲܕ݂ܚܹܐܘ̱ܬ̣ܵܐ. |
| [18]That which he had labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; that which he had acquired by extortion he shall not enjoy; |
[18]ܢܸܬ̣ܗ̱ܦܸܟ݂ ܠܠܹ̇ܐܘܬ̣ܵܐ ܘܠܵܐ ܢܸܒ̣ܠܲܥ ܒܚܹܝܠ ܚܸܠܦܹܗ ܠܵܐ ܢܸܬ̣ܗ̱ܢܹܐ. |
| [19]Because he has thought to forsake the poor; because he has violently taken away a house which he did not build. |
[19]ܕܐܸܬ̣ܪܲܥܝܼ ܠܡܸܫܒܲܩ ܠܡܸܣܟܹ̇ܢܵܐ. ܘܒܲܝܬܵܐ ܕܲܚܛܘܼܦܝܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܢܸܬ̣ܒ̇ܢܹܐ. |
| [20]Because he knew no justice himself, he shall not be spared by his covetousness. |
[20]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܝܼܕܲܥ̣ ܕܝܼܢܹܗ ܒܟܲܪܣܹܗ: ܘܒܲܪ̈ܓ̣ܝܼܓ̣ܵܬܹܗ ܠܵܐ ܢܸܬ̣ܦܲܠܲܛ. |
| [21]There shall none of his posterity be spared; therefore his good will not be remembered. |
[21]ܠܲܝܬ̇ ܕܦܵܠܹ̇ܛ ܡ̣ܢ ܬܵܘ̈ܠܕ݂ܵܬܹܗ. ܡܸܛܠ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܬܟܲܬܲܪ ܛܵܒ̣ܬܹܗ. |
| [22]With the measure with which he had measured, he shall be recompensed; the hand of the wicked shall come upon him |
[22]ܒܟ݂ܝܵܠܬܵܐ ܕܐܲܟ̇ܝܼܠ ܢܸܬ̣ܦܪܲܥ. ܘܟ݂ܠܵܗ̇ ܐܝܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܕܥܵܘܵܠܹܐ ܬܹܐܬܹ̇ܐ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ. |
| [23]May his posterity go to destruction, may God cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and deluge him while he wars against him. |
[23]ܘܢܸܗܘܹܐ ܠܐܲܒ̣ܕܵܢܵܐ ܒܲܛܢܹܗ ܘܲܢܓܲܪܸܐ ܒܹܗ ܚܸܡܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܪܘܼܓ̣ܙܹܗ ܘܢܲܡܛܲܪ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ ܒܲܩܪܲܒ̣ܬ̣ܵܢܘܼܬܹܗ. |
| [24]For although he had escaped because of the breastplate of iron, the bow of brass shall pierce him through. |
[24]ܕܲܥܪܲܩ̣ ܡ̣ܢ ܫܸܪܝܵܢܵܐ ܕܦܲܪܙܠܵܐ ܬܸܥܒܲܪ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ ܩܸܫܬܵܐ ܕܲܢܚܵܫܵܐ. |
| [25]It is drawn, and it brings forth his inward parts; and the skin of his gall shall be pierced; terror shall be upon him continually. |
[25]ܬܸܫܡܘܿܛ ܘܬܲܦܸܩ ܓܵܘܵܝܹܗ. ܘܡܸܫܟܵܐ ܕܲܡܪܵܪܬܹܗ ܢܸܬ̣ܒܲܙܲܥ. ܥܠܵܘܗܝ ܐܵܡܝܼܢ ܬܘܼܩܦܵܐ. |
| [26]All darkness is kept in store for his posterity; a blazing fire shall consume him; and the one who is left in his tent shall be destroyed. |
[26]ܘܟ݂ܠ ܚܸܫܘܿܟ݂ܵܐ ܛܡܝܼܪ ܠܬ̣ܵܘ̈ܠܕ݂ܵܬܹܗ. ܬܹܐܟ݂ܠܝܼܘܗܝ ܢܘܼܪܵܐ ܕܠܵܐ ܢܦܝܼܚܵܐ ܘܢܹܐܒܲܕ݂ ܣܪܝܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܒܡܲܫܟ̇ܢܹܗ. |
| [27]The heaven shall reveal his sins; and the earth avenge itself upon him. |
[27]ܢܸܓ̣ܠܘܿܢ ܫܡܲܝܵܐ ܚܛܵܗܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܐܲܪܥܵܐ ܬܸܬ̣ܢܲܩܲܡ ܡܸܢܹܗ. |
| [28]The foundations of his house shall be left bare and he shall be scourged in the day of his wrath. |
[28]ܢܸܬ̣ܓܲܠ̈ܝܵܢ ܫܲܬ̣ܐ̱ܣܹ̈ܐ ܕܒܲܝܬܹ̇ܗ ܘܢܸܬ̣ܢܲܓܲܕ݂ ܒܝܵܘܡܵܐ ܕܪܘܼܓ̣ܙܵܐ. |
| [29]This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him from the Highest |
[29]ܗܵܕܲܐ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܡܢܵܬܹܗ ܕܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܪܲܫܝܼܥܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܩܕ݂ܵܡ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ. ܘܝܵܪܬ̇ܘܼܬ݂ܵܐ ܕܡܸܠܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܡ̣ܢ ܡܪܵܘܡܵܐ. |
