¹And the high priest said, Are these things so?

¹ܘܫܐܠܗ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

²And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,

²ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܝܢ ܘܐܒܗܬܢ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܐܒܘܢ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܟܕ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܢܗܪܝܢ ܥܕ ܠܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܢܥܡܪ ܒܚܪܢ ܀

³and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.

³ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܦܘܩ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܟ ܘܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܟ ܘܬܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܚܘܝܟ ܀

⁴Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, [God] removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:

⁴ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܦܩ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܠܕܝܐ ܘܐܬܐ ܥܡܪ ܒܚܪܢ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܟܕ ܡܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܫܢܝܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܒܗ ܥܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܀

⁵and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child.

⁵ܘܠܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܝܪܬܘܬܐ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܕܘܪܟܬܐ ܕܪܓܠܐ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܝ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܬܠܝܗ ܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܠܡܐܪܬܗ ܠܗ ܘܠܙܪܥܗ ܟܕ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܪܐ ܀

⁶And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years.

⁶ܘܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗ ܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܙܪܥܟ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܢܘܟܪܝܬܐ ܘܢܫܥܒܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܘܢܒܐܫܘܢ ܠܗ ܐܪܒܥܡܐܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܀

⁷And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.

⁷ܘܠܥܡܐ ܕܢܦܠܚܘܢ ܥܒܕܘܬܐ ܐܕܘܢܝܘܗܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܦܩܘܢ ܘܢܦܠܚܘܢ ܠܝ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

⁸And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

⁸ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܕܝܬܩܐ ܕܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܘܠܕ ܠܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܓܙܪܗ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܬܡܝܢܝܐ ܘܐܝܤܚܩ ܐܘܠܕ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܘܠܕ ܠܬܪܥܤܪ ܐܒܗܬܢ ܀

⁹And the patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt: and God was with him,

⁹ܘܗܢܘܢ ܐܒܗܬܢ ܛܢܘ ܒܝܘܤܦ ܘܙܒܢܘܗܝ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܠܗܐ ܥܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹⁰and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

¹⁰ܘܦܪܩܗ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܘܗܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܛܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܩܕܡ ܦܪܥܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܪܫܐ ܥܠ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܒܝܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܀

¹¹Now there came a famine over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

¹¹ܘܗܘܐ ܟܦܢܐ ܘܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܘܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܤܒܥ ܠܐܒܗܬܢ ܀

¹²But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent forth our fathers the first time.

¹²ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܕܐܝܬ ܥܒܘܪܐ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܒܗܬܢ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܀

¹³And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's race became manifest unto Pharaoh.

¹³ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܘ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܐܘܕܥ ܝܘܤܦ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܬܝܕܥ ܠܦܪܥܘܢ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܕܝܘܤܦ ܀

¹⁴And Joseph sent, and called to him Jacob his father, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.

¹⁴ܘܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܝܘܤܦ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܐܒܘܗܝ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܘܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܢܝܢܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܚܡܫ ܢܦܫܢ ܀

¹⁵And Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, himself and our fathers;

¹⁵ܘܢܚܬ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܡܝܬ ܬܡܢ ܗܘ ܘܐܒܗܬܢ ܀

¹⁶and they were carried over unto Shechem, and laid in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver of the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

¹⁶ܘܐܫܬܢܝ ܠܫܟܝܡ ܘܐܬܬܤܝܡ ܒܩܒܪܐ ܕܙܒܢ ܗܘܐ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܟܤܦܐ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܚܡܘܪ ܀

¹⁷But as the time of the promise drew nigh which God vouchsafed unto Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,

¹⁷ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܗܘܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܐܫܬܘܕܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܤܓܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܘܬܩܦ ܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܀

¹⁸till there arose another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.

¹⁸ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܡ ܡܠܟܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܝܘܤܦ ܀

¹⁹The same dealt craftily with our race, and ill-treated our fathers, that they should cast out their babes to the end they might not live.

¹⁹ܘܐܨܛܢܥ ܥܠ ܛܘܗܡܢ ܘܐܒܐܫ ܠܐܒܗܬܢ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܫܬܕܝܢ ܝܠܘܕܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܘܢ ܀

²⁰At which season Moses was born, and was exceeding fair; and he was nourished three months in his father's house.

²⁰ܒܗ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܪܚܝܡ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܪܒܝ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܀

²¹and when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.

²¹ܘܟܕ ܐܫܬܕܝ ܡܢ ܐܡܗ ܐܫܟܚܬܗ ܒܪܬ ܦܪܥܘܢ ܘܪܒܝܬܗ ܠܗ ܠܒܪܐ ܀

²²And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and works.

²²ܘܐܬܪܕܝ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܐ ܘܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܦ ܒܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܀

²³But when he was well-nigh forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.

²³ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܤܠܩ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܠܒܗ ܕܢܤܥܘܪ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

²⁴And seeing one [of them] suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, smiting the Egyptian:

²⁴ܘܚܙܐ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܫܪܒܬܗ ܕܡܬܕܒܪ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܘܬܒܥܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܩܛܠܗ ܠܡܨܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܤܟܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܀

²⁵and he supposed that his brethren understood that God by his hand was giving them deliverance; but they understood not.

²⁵ܘܤܒܪ ܕܡܤܬܟܠܝܢ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܤܬܟܠܘ ܀

²⁶And the day following he appeared unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?

²⁶ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܨܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܡ ܚܕ ܘܡܦܝܤ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܫܬܝܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܢܐ ܡܤܟܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ ܀

²⁷But he that did his neighbor wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?

²⁷ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܤܟܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܒܪܗ ܕܚܩܗ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܘ ܐܩܝܡܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܀

²⁸Wouldest thou kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian yesterday?

²⁸ܕܠܡܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܢܝ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܩܛܠܬ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܠܡܨܪܝܐ ܀

²⁹And Moses fled at this saying, and became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.

²⁹ܘܥܪܩ ܡܘܫܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܬܘܬܒܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢ ܘܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܬܪܝܢ ܒܢܝܢ ܀

³⁰And when forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.

³⁰ܘܟܕ ܡܠܝ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܕܛܘܪ ܤܝܢܝ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܕܝܩܕܐ ܒܤܢܝܐ ܀

³¹And when Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord,

³¹ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܀

³²I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob. And Moses trembled, and durst not behold.

³²ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗܝܟ ܐܠܗܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܕܐܝܤܚܩ ܘܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܘܟܕ ܪܬܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܘܪ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܀

³³And the Lord said unto him, Loose the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

³³ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܫܪܝ ܡܤܢܝܟ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܝܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܩܐܡ ܐܢܬ ܒܗ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܗܝ ܀

³⁴I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them: and now come, I will send thee into Egypt.

³⁴ܡܚܙܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܐܘܠܨܢܗ ܕܥܡܝ ܕܒܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܬܢܚܬܗ ܫܡܥܬ ܘܢܚܬܬ ܕܐܦܪܘܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܗܫܐ ܬܐ ܐܫܕܪܟ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܀

³⁵This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? him hath God sent [to be] both a ruler and a deliverer with the hand of the angel that appeared to him in the bush.

³⁵ܠܗܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܕܟܦܪܘ ܒܗ ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܡܢܘ ܐܩܝܡܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܪܫܐ ܘܕܝܢܐ ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܫܐ ܘܦܪܘܩܐ ܫܕܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܐܝܕܝ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܒܤܢܝܐ ܀

³⁶This man led them forth, having wrought wonders and signs in Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

³⁶ܗܢܘ ܕܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܥܒܕ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܘܒܝܡܐ ܕܤܘܦ ܘܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܫܢܝܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܀

³⁷This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me.

³⁷ܗܢܘ ܡܘܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܢܩܝܡ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܐܚܝܟܘܢ ܐܟܘܬܝ ܠܗ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܀

³⁸This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us:

³⁸ܗܢܘ ܕܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܥܡ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗ ܘܥܡ ܐܒܗܬܢ ܒܛܘܪܐ ܕܤܝܢܝ ܘܗܘܝܘ ܕܩܒܠ ܡܠܐ ܚܝܬܐ ܕܠܢ ܢܬܠ ܀

³⁹to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,

³⁹ܘܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܠܡܬܕܢܝܘ ܠܗ ܐܒܗܬܢ ܐܠܐ ܫܒܩܘܗܝ ܘܒܠܒܘܬܗܘܢ ܗܦܟܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܨܪܝܢ ܀

⁴⁰saying unto Aaron, Make us gods that shall go before us: for as for this Moses, who led us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.

⁴⁰ܟܕ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐܗܪܘܢ ܥܒܕ ܠܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܩܕܡܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܕܐܦܩܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܢܐ ܗܘܝܗܝ ܀

⁴¹And they made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.

⁴¹ܘܥܒܕܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܓܠܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܕܒܚܘ ܕܒܚܐ ܠܦܬܟܪܐ ܘܡܬܒܤܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁴²But God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Did ye offer unto me slain beasts and sacrifices Forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

⁴²ܘܗܦܟ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܦܠܚܝܢ ܠܚܝܠܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܒܟܬܒܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܢܟܤܬܐ ܐܘ ܕܒܚܬܐ ܩܪܒܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

⁴³And ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, And the star of the god Rephan, The figures which ye made to worship them: And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

⁴³ܐܠܐ ܫܩܠܬܘܢ ܡܫܟܢܗ ܕܡܠܟܘܡ ܘܟܘܟܒܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܪܦܢ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܬܘܢ ܕܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܓܕܝܢ ܠܗܝܢ ܐܫܢܝܟܘܢ ܠܗܠ ܡܢ ܒܒܠ ܀

⁴⁴Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he appointed who spake unto Moses, that he should make it according to the figure that he had seen.

⁴⁴ܗܐ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܕܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܐܒܗܬܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܦܩܕ ܗܘ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܡܘܫܐ ܠܡܥܒܕܗ ܒܕܡܘܬܐ ܕܚܘܝܗ ܀

⁴⁵Which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered on the possession of the nations, that God thrust out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

⁴⁵ܘܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܐܦ ܡܥܠܘ ܐܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܒܗܬܢ ܥܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܘܪܬܢܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܕܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܝܒܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܘܗܝ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܀

⁴⁶who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.

⁴⁶ܗܘ ܕܐܫܟܚ ܪܚܡܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܫܐܠ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܡܫܟܢܐ ܠܐܠܗܗ ܕܝܥܩܘܒ ܀

⁴⁷But Solomon built him a house.

⁴⁷ܫܠܝܡܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܢܐ ܠܗ ܒܝܬܐ ܀

⁴⁸Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands; as saith the prophet,

⁴⁸ܘܡܪܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܥܒܕ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܡܪ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

⁴⁹The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

⁴⁹ܕܫܡܝܐ ܟܘܪܤܝ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܟܘܒܫܐ ܕܬܚܝܬ ܪܓܠܝ ܐܝܢܘ ܒܝܬܐ ܕܬܒܢܘܢ ܠܝ ܐܡܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܘ ܐܝܢܘ ܐܬܪܐ ܕܢܝܚܬܝ ܀

⁵⁰Did not my hand make all these things?

⁵⁰ܠܐ ܗܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܒܕܬ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܀

⁵¹Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

⁵¹ܐܘ ܩܫܝܝ ܩܕܠܐ ܘܕܠܐ ܓܙܝܪܝܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܒܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

⁵²Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them that showed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and murderers;

⁵²ܠܐܝܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܪܕܦܘ ܘܩܛܠܘ ܐܒܗܝܟܘܢ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܕܡܘ ܒܕܩܘ ܥܠ ܡܐܬܝܬܗ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܫܠܡܬܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁵³ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.

⁵³ܘܩܒܠܬܘܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܒܝܕ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܛܪܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁵⁴Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

⁵⁴ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܡܬܐ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܘܡܚܪܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

⁵⁵But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

⁵⁵ܘܗܘ ܟܕ ܡܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܚܪ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܝܫܘܥ ܟܕ ܩܐܡ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵⁶and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.

⁵⁶ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܦܬܝܚܝܢ ܘܠܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܟܕ ܩܐܡ ܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

⁵⁷But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord;

⁵⁷ܘܩܥܘ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܤܟܪܘ ܐܕܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܓܙܡܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܀

⁵⁸and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

⁵⁸ܘܐܚܕܘ ܐܦܩܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܪܓܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܤܗܕܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܤܡܘ ܢܚܬܝܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܕܥܠܝܡܐ ܚܕ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܫܐܘܠ ܀

⁵⁹And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [the Lord], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

⁵⁹ܘܪܓܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܠܐܤܛܦܢܘܤ ܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܒܠ ܪܘܚܝ ܀

⁶⁰And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

⁶⁰ܘܟܕ ܤܡ ܒܘܪܟܐ ܩܥܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܢ ܠܐ ܬܩܝܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܚܛܝܬܐ ܘܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܫܟܒ ܀
