And the Slanderer was mocked through him, and made a fool through him.

Et le Calomniateur fut raillé par lui, et tourné en dérision par lui.

بِصَلاةِ أَبِينا خُزِيَ الشَّيْطانُ في كُلِّ ضِيقٍ،

ba-ṣlōth avūn b-kul ʿāqāt shēd ethnāwal:

By our father's prayer the demon was put to shame in every distress,

Par la prière de notre père, en toute détresse, le démon fut couvert de honte,

ܘܒܸܢܝܵܢ ܙܹܐܦܹܗ ܢ̣ܦܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܚܲܠܚܲܠ ܘܲܠܗܲܠ ܡܗܲܠܗܲܠ܀

وَبُنْيانُ كِبْرِيائِهِ سَقَطَ وَاهْتَزَّ، وَبَقِيَ مُتَرَنِّحًا مُنْذُ ذلِكَ الحِينِ.

And the building of his pride fell and was shaken, and was left tottering from then on.

Et l'édifice de son orgueil tomba et fut ébranlé, et il en resta tout vacillant.

ܒܲܨܠܘܿܬ݂ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܫܹܐ̄ܕ ܪܵܡܘܼܬ݂ܐ ܢ̣ܦܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܩܲܠܩܲܠ:

بِصَلاةِ أَبِينا سَقَطَ شَيْطانُ الكِبْرِياءِ وَطُرِحَ،

By our father's prayer the demon of pride fell and was cast down,

Par la prière de notre père, le démon de l'orgueil tomba et fut abattu,

ܘܡ̣ܢ ܙܘܼܪ̈ܝܹܗ ܘܡ̣ܢ ܫܘܼܥܠܵܝܹܗ ܒܛܸܠ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܒܲܛܲܠ܀

وَعَنْ مَكائِدِهِ وَحِيَلِهِ كَفَّ، وَصارَ إِلَى العَدَمِ.

And from his schemes and his tricks he ceased, and was brought to nothing.

Et de ses ruses et de ses artifices il cessa, et fut réduit à rien.

ܟܲܕ ܚ̣ܙܵܐ ܕܡܸܕܸܡ ܠܐ ܠܲܡ ܐܵܘܬܲܪ ܒܟ݂ܠ ܕܐܸܬ݂ܦܲܬ݁ܠ:

kad ḥzā d-medem lā lam āwtar b-kul d-ethpatl:

When he saw that he had gained nothing at all by all his crooked dealing,

Quand il vit qu'il n'avait rien gagné par toute sa perversité,

ܥܸܠܠܹܐ ܪܲܟܸ݁ܒ݂ ܘܲܒ݂ܚܸܪ̈ܚܹܵܐ ܥܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݁ܕܲܓ݁ܠ܀

رَكِبَ الذَّرائِعَ، وَدَخَلَ بِالمُخاصَماتِ، وَغَدَرَ.

ʿellē rakev wa-b-ḥerḥā ʿal w-etdagl.

He rode on pretexts, and went in by quarrels, and played false.

Il chevaucha des prétextes, entra par des querelles, et joua la fourberie.

ܐܝܟ ܕܥܲܠ ܐܕܲܡ ܒܫܘܼܪܵܝ ܥܵܠܸܡ ܢܟܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܢܲܟܲܠ:

كَما في بَدْءِ العالَمِ خادَعَ آدَمَ وَاحْتالَ،

aykh d-ʿal ʾdam b-shūrāī ʿālem nkal w-ethnakal:

As at the beginning of the world he dealt falsely with Adam and schemed,

Comme au commencement du monde il avait usé de ruse envers Adam et comploté,

ܐܵܦ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܒܲܚܨܘܿܦ ܐܲܦܘ̈ܗܝ ܤܥܵܐ ܘܐܸܙܕܲܠܲܠ܀

هكَذا عَلى أَبِينا أَيْضًا انْدَفَعَ بِوَجْهٍ وَقِحٍ، وَصارَ حَقِيرًا.

So against our father too he rushed with a brazen face, and was made contemptible.

Ainsi contre notre père aussi il se rua d'un front effronté, et fut méprisé.

ܐܲܩܪܸܒ݂ ܥܲܡܹܗ ܕܐܲܬ݂ܠܹܝܛ ܩܘܼܫܬ݁ܐ ܘܲܒ݂ܪܘܼܚ ܡܟܲܠܲܠ:

حارَبَهُ، مُصارِعَ الحَقِّ المُكَلَّلَ بِالرُّوحِ،

aqrev ʿamēh d-athlēyṭ qūsht wa-b-rūḥ mkalal:

He made war on him, the athlete of truth, crowned in the Spirit,

Il lui fit la guerre, à l'athlète de la vérité, couronné dans l'Esprit,

ܘܲܒ݂ܲܡܲܝ ܚܲܫܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܒܲܚܠܝܼܨܘܼܬܹܗ ܠܵܐ ܐܸܬܬܲܠܲܠ܀

وَفي مِياهِ آلامِهِ، بِقُوَّتِهِ، لَمْ يَبْتَلَّ.

And in the waters of his sufferings, by his vigour, he was not made wet.

Et dans les eaux de ses souffrances, par sa vigueur, il ne fut pas mouillé.

ܐܲܩܪܸܒ݂ ܥܲܡܹܗ ܒܫܲܪ̈ܒ݁ܘܿܩܝܵܬܹܗ ܘܠܵܐ ܐܸܫܬܲܪܓ݁ܠ:

اقْتَرَبَ إِلَيْهِ بِفِخاخِهِ، وَلَمْ يَنْشَبْ،

aqrev ʿamēh b-sharbōqyātēh w-lā eshtargl:

He drew near to him with his snares, and he was not entangled,

Il s'approcha de lui avec ses pièges, et il ne fut pas pris,

ܘܠܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܥܲܪܩܲܠ ܒܦܲܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܘܐܘܿܩܵܤ̈ ܘܠܵܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܦܲܪܟ݁ܠ܀

وَلَمْ يُعْثَرْ بِأَشْراكِهِ وَحَبائِلِهِ، وَلَمْ يَتَعَثَّرْ.

w-lā ethʿarqal b-paḥāwhī w-ʾōqās w-lā ethparkl.

And he was not tripped by his traps and his snares, and did not stumble.

Et il ne fut pas pris au piège de ses filets et de ses lacets, et ne trébucha pas.

ܐܲܩܪܸܒ݂ ܕܵܘܝܵܐ ܘܗܘ ܐܸܬ݁ܬܲܒ݂ܗܲܬ݂ ܘܠܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܒ݁ܛܲܠܛܲܠ:

aqrev dāwyā w-hāw ettavhath w-lā ethbṭalṭal:

He brought illness, and was put to shame, and did not let up,

Il apporta la maladie, et fut couvert de honte, et ne fut pas ébranlé,

ܥܲܕ ܐܸܫܬܲܦܲܕ ܒܢܸܓ݂̈ܕܹܐ ܘܓܸܕ̈ܕܹܐ ܤܒܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܩܛܲܠܛܲܠ܀

حَتّى جُلِدَ بِالسِّياطِ وَالضَّرَباتِ، فَاحْتَمَلَ وَسُحِقَ.

Until he was lashed with whips and blows, and endured, and was crushed.

Jusqu'à ce qu'il fût fouetté de verges et de coups, et il endura, et fut broyé.

ܐܲܩܪܸܒ݂ ܒܝܼܫܐ ܘܲܩܼܪܵܐ ܠܤܸܕܠܹܗ ܘܠܝܼܓ݂ ܐܸܬ݂ܩܗܲܠܗܲܠ:‏

جاءَ بِالشَّرِّ وَدَعا صُفُوفَهُ، فَاجْتَمَعَتِ الفِرْقَةُ،

aqrev b-īsh wa-qīrā l-sedlēh w-l-īgh ethqhalhal:

He brought evil and called his ranks, and the legion gathered,

Il apporta le mal et appela ses rangs, et la légion se rassembla,

ܘܲܨܠܵܠܐܝܼܬ݂ ܒܲܥܩܲܠܩܠܘܼܬܹܗ ܩܵܡ̣ ܘܐܸܨܛܗܲܠܗܲܠ܀

وَبِصِياحٍ حادٍّ في اعْوِجاجِهِ قامَ وَصَهَلَ.

wa-ṣlālīth ba-ʿqalqlūtēh qām w-eṣṭhalhal.

And shrilly, in his crookedness, he rose up and neighed.

Et d'une voix stridente, dans sa perversité, il se leva et hennit.

ܐܲܩܪܸܒ݂ ܤܵܢܐܐ ܥܲܡܹܗ ܕܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܘܥܲܒ݂ܕܲܗ ܬܘܼܗܠܵܠ:

جاءَ بِالبُغْضِ عَلى أَبِينا، فَجَعَلَهُ سُخْرِيَةً،

aqrev sān ʿamēh d-avūn w-ʿavdah tūhlāl:

He brought hatred against our father, and he made it a mockery,

Il apporta la haine contre notre père, et en fit une dérision,

ܘܬܲܒ݁ܪܹܗ ܘܕܵܫܹܗ ܘܩܵܠ ܠܘܼܚܵܡܵܘܗܝ ܚ̣ܫܲܒ݂ ܐܝܟ݂ ܙܡܵܡ ܨܠܵܠ܀

وَكَسَرَهُ وَدَاسَهُ، وَحُسِبَ عِنْدَهُ ضَجِيجُ حُرُوبِهِ كَصَنْجٍ يَصْلِصِلُ.

w-tabrēh w-dāshēh w-qāl l-w-ḥāmāwhī ḥshav aykh zmām ṣlāl.

And broke it and trampled it, and the noise of its battles he counted as a clashing cymbal.

Et la brisa et la foula aux pieds, et le bruit de ses combats, il le tint pour une cymbale retentissante.
