aqrev ḥarʿā w-shūlṭān yātēh eshtrī ba-qpāl:

He brought anger, and his very power was undone and folded up,

Il apporta la colère, et sa puissance même fut défaite et repliée,

ܘܲܟ݂ܠܝܼܠ ܫܘܼܒ݂ܚܵܐ ܠܢܸܨܚܵܢ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܟܠ ܠܡܝܼܡ ܓܕܲܠ܀

He granted our father, by the power of his prayer, to raise the dead.

Lui, il accorda à notre père, par la force de sa prière, de ressusciter les morts.

Before his disciples he had worked mighty deeds, and raised them up,

Devant ses disciples il avait accompli des actes de puissance, et les avait élevés,

ܘܛܵܒ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܚܲܝܠܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܝܲܗ̄ܒ݂ܠܗܘܿܢ ܘܲܤ̣ܥܲܪܘ ܐܲܟ݂ܡܵܐ ܕܲܪܫܝܼܡ܀

And richly of his powers he gave them, and they worked as many as he had marked out.

Et il leur donna richement de ses forces, et ils accomplirent tout ce qu'il avait marqué.

ܟܲܕ ܠܲܫܠܝܼܚܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܠܟܲܪܘܿܙܘܼܬܹܗ ܓ݂ܒ݂ܵܐ ܗ̄ܘ̣ܵܐ ܘܐܲܩܝܼܡ:‏

By the power of the Comforter they worked them, and were very greatly exalted.

Par la puissance du Consolateur ils les accomplirent, et furent très grandement élevés.

ܒܛܸܠܵܢܝܵܬ̈ܗܘܿܢ ܘܪ̈ܘܼܩܥܹܐ ܕܝܼܠܗܘܿܢ ܟܪ̈ܝܼܗܹܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܚܠܸܡܘ:

And they gave healing to all who had been harmed and wronged by demons.

Et ils donnèrent la guérison à tous ceux que les démons avaient lésés et opprimés.

ܓܡܲܪܘ ܫܘܼܘܵܕܝܹܗ ܗܵܠܹܝܢ ܒܙܲܒ݂ܢܵܐ ܒܟ݂ܝܼܪܵܝ ܘܩܲܕܝܼܡ:

And the poisoned arrows of the evil one's cunning they threw down.

Et les flèches empoisonnées de la ruse du mauvais, ils les jetèrent à terre.

ܬܲܠܡܸܕܘ ܒܛܘܼܪܹ̈ܐ ܘܲܒ݂ܓܵܙܲܪ̈ܬ݂ܐ ܕܟܲܬ݂ܝܼܡ ܘܕ݂ܘܿܪܢܝܼܡ:‏

They went down and reached as far as Elim, Mahanaim and Yahbim,

Ils descendirent et parvinrent jusqu'à Élim, Mahanaïm et Yahbim,

ܘܐܲܦܢܝܼܘ ܠܲܫܪܵܪ ܡ̣ܢ ܛܵܥܝܘܼܬ݂ܵܐ ܠܟ݂ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܲܥܪܝܼܡ܀

وَرَدُّوا إِلَى الحَقِّ مِنَ الضَّلالِ كُلَّ مَاكِرٍ.

And turned from error to the truth everyone who was crafty.

Et ramenèrent de l'erreur à la vérité tous ceux qui étaient rusés.

ܒܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ ܕܗܵܠܹܝܢ ܡܲܪܝܼ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܘܲܠܗܘܿܢ ܐܸܫܬ݁ܠܸܡ:

b-ʾūrḥā d-hālēyn marī avūn wa-l-hōn eshtlem:

On the path of these my lord our father went, and was made perfect with them,

Sur la voie de ceux-là, monseigneur notre père alla, et fut rendu parfait avec eux,

ܘܐܵܦ ܒܲܕܡܘܼܬ݂ܗܘܿܢ ܤ̣ܥܲܪ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܚܲܝ̈ܠܹܐ ܘܡܝܼ̈ܬܹܐ ܢܲܚܸܡ܀

w-āp ba-d-mūthhōn sʿar (h)wā ḥaylē w-mītē naḥem.

And also in their likeness he worked mighty deeds and raised the dead.

Et à leur ressemblance aussi il accomplit des actes de puissance et ressuscita les morts.

ܕܲܡܘܸܬ݂ ܝܵܬܹܗ ܒܥܘܼܙܵܝܲܝܗ̈̄ܘܿܢ ܘܠܐ ܤܵܟ݂ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܟ݂ܝܼܡ:

da-mweth yātēh b-ʿūzāyay(h)ōn w-lā sākh ettkhīm:

For he made himself like them in their vigour, and was not darkened at all,

Car il se fit semblable à eux en leur vigueur, et ne fut nullement obscurci,

ܒܲܡܛܲܡܠܘܼܬ݂ܐ ܕܫܹ̈ܐܕܹܐ ܟܬ݂ܝܼܫܹ̈ܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܲܡ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܢܝܼܡ܀

ba-mṭamlūth d-shēdē kthīshē w-lā lam ettnīm.

In the struggle with the crushed demons, and did not slumber at all.

Dans le combat contre les démons écrasés, et ne s'assoupit nullement.

ܫܲܕܟܲܝ ܫܘܼܪܹܗ ܥܲܠ ܐܵܕܵܡܘܿܣ ܕܡܘܼܟܵܟ݂ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܤܝܼܡ:

أُقِيمَ سُورُهُ عَلى ماسِ التَّواضُعِ،

shadkaī shūrēh ʿal ādāmōs d-mūkākh ettsīm:

His wall was set upon the adamant of humility,

Son rempart fut posé sur l'adamant de l'humilité,

ܘܼܕܘܼܡܤܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܟܹܐܡܲܬ݂ ܥܲܠ ܫܵܡܝܼܪܐ ܕܚܘܼܒܵܐ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܩܝܼܡܘ܀

w-d-w-msāwhī kēmath ʿal shāmīr d-ḥūbā ettqīmw.

And his building was set firm upon the diamond of love.

Et ses constructions, solidement, furent établies sur le diamant de l'amour.

ܠܩܲܠܩܘ̈ܡܲܝܗܘܿܢ ܕܤܵܢ̈ܐܹܐ ܪܲܥܪܲܥ ܘܗ݀ܘܼ ܛܵܒ݂ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܪܝܼܡ:

l-qalqwmayhōn d-sānē raʿraʿ w-hāw ṭāv ettrīm:

He shattered the assaults of the haters, and he himself was greatly exalted;

Il brisa les assauts de ceux qui haïssent, et lui-même fut très grandement élevé ;

ܒܕܲܚܼܤܲܠ ܦܲܓ݂ܪܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܟܠ ܪ̈ܓ݂ܝܼܓܵܢ ܐܵܘܟܹܝܬ݂ ܐܸܬ݁ܬ݁ܨܝܼܡ܀

b-da-ḥīsal paghrēh men kul rghīgān āwkēyth ettṣīm.

For he refined his body from all desires, as one who fasts.

Car il affina son corps de tous les désirs, à la manière d'un jeûneur.

ܤܘܼܛܡܹ̈ܐ ܘܟܲܒ̈ܠܹܐ ܘܩܵܘܿܕܲܝ̈ ܚܲܫܹ̈ܐ ܡܸܢܹܗ ܐܸܬ݂ܓ̇ܡܸܡܘ:

sūṭmē w-kablē w-qāōdaī ḥashē menēh ethgmemw:

Blows, chains, and burning pains were cut off from him,

Les coups, les chaînes et les douleurs brûlantes furent retranchés de lui,

ܘܐܵܦ ܢܸܒ݂ܥ̱ܗܘܿܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܪܲܛܝܼܒ݂ܘܼ ܐܸܫܬ݁ܪܸܒ݂ ܘܐܸܬ݁ܛܡܸܡ܀

وَحَتّى يَنْبُوعُها جَفَّ مِنَ الرُّطُوبَةِ وَسُدَّ.

w-āp nevʿhōn men raṭīvū eshtrev w-etṭmem.

And even their spring was dried of moisture and stopped up.

Et même leur source fut desséchée de son humidité et bouchée.

ܒܪܸܚܡܲܬ݂ ܝܼܫܘܿܥ ܐܝܟ݂ ܢܲܒ݂ܪܲܫܬ݁ܐ ܕܢܘܼܪܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܚܡܸܡ:

بِمَحَبَّةِ يَسُوعَ سَخَنَ كَسِراجِ نارٍ،

b-reḥmath īshōʿ aykh navrasht d-nūr ethḥmem:

By the love of Jesus he was heated like a lamp of fire,

Par l'amour de Jésus il fut échauffé comme une lampe de feu,

ܘܩܘܼܢܩܵܢ ܪܘܼܚܵܐ ܕܠܐ ܩܲܢܛܝܼܡܵܐ ܡܸܢܹܗ ܐܸܬ݂ܠܡܸܡ܀

وَنَسِيمُ الرُّوحِ، بِلا كَلَلٍ، اتَّحَدَ بِهِ.

w-qūnqān rūḥā d-lā qanṭīmā menēh ethlmem.

And the breath of the Spirit, without weariness, was joined to him.

Et le souffle de l'Esprit, sans lassitude, lui fut uni.

ܒܒܹܠܘܿܩܬ݂ܝܼܩܝܼܢ ܕܲܕܝܘܿܦܲܛܟ݂ܝܼܢ ܫܡܹܗ ܐܸܬ݂ܪܫܸܡ:

في مَكْتَبَةِ الدِّيبْتُوخِينَ كُتِبَ اسْمُهُ،

b-bēlōqthīqīn da-d-yōpaṭkhīn shmēh ethrshem:

In the library of the diptychs his name was inscribed,

Dans la bibliothèque des diptyques son nom fut inscrit,

ܘܚܲܕ ܗܲܕܵܡܹܗ ܒܲܚܪܘܿܦ ܢܝܼܒ݂ܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܒ݂ܹܝܫ ܠܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܒ݁ܪܸܡ܀

وَلَمْ يُمَزَّقْ عُضْوٌ واحِدٌ مِنْ أَعْضائِهِ بِأَنْيابِ الشِّرِّيرِ الحادَّةِ.

w-ḥad hadāmēh ba-ḥrōp nīvāwhī d-vēysh lā ethbrem.

And not one of his limbs was torn by the sharp teeth of the evil one.

Et pas un de ses membres ne fut déchiré par la dent aiguë du mauvais.

ܥܓ݂ܝܼܡܵܐ ܓܥܝܼܨܵܐ ܒܲܠܝܼܲܪ ܕܵܘܝܵܐ ܒܙܲܝܢܹܗ ܐܸܬ݂ܩܛܸܡ:

The gloomy, loathsome Belial, the sick one, was quenched by his armour,

Le sombre et répugnant Bélial, le malade, fut éteint par ses armes,

ܘܩܵܠ ܠܘܼܚܵܡܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܚ̣ܫܲܒ݂ ܐܝܟ ܒܵܩܵܐ ܕܙܲܡ ܗ̄ܘܵܐ ܘܐܸܙܕܡܸܡ܀

وَحَسِبَ ضَجِيجَ حُرُوبِهِ كَبَعُوضَةٍ طَنَّتْ ثُمَّ سَكَنَتْ.

And he counted the noise of his battles like a gnat that hummed and fell still.

Et il tint le bruit de ses combats pour un moucheron qui bourdonnait et se tut.

And fiercely he tried to sway him with his spells, and hummed and muttered.

Et avec férocité il tenta de l'ébranler par ses sortilèges, et il murmura et marmonna.

But by his rebuke he cut them down, and struck them, and taught them.

Mais par sa réprimande il les abattit, et les frappa, et les instruisit.

ʿal alhā hāw tūkhlānī w-ʿal gvāwhī la-mlem b-pethgām:

My trust is in God, and to his chosen ones I murmured my word."

Ma confiance est en Dieu, et à ses élus j'ai murmuré ma parole. »

وَصَرَخَ ثانِيَةً حِينَ رَأَى أَنَّ النِّهايَةَ اقْتَرَبَتْ وَجاءَتْ:

wa-qīrā mendrēsh kad ḥzā da-ṣpaḥ wa-mṭā shūlām.

And he cried out again, when he saw that the end had drawn near and come:

Et il cria de nouveau, quand il vit que la fin s'était approchée et était venue :

ܐܘܿܢ ܐܲܠܵܗܹܗ ܕܪܲܒ̇ܢ ܗܘܿܪܡܝܼܙܕ ܥܲܕܲܪܲܝܢܝ ܪܬܲܡ:

"O God of our Rabban Hormizd, help me, for I am bound fast."

« Ô Dieu de notre Rabban Hormizd, aide-moi, car je suis lié. »

ܘܲܫ̣ܡܲܥ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܨܠܘܿܬܹܗ ܘܤܲܒ݂ܪܹܗ ܠܐ ܦܤܲܩ̣ ܒܓ݂ܘܼܕܵܡ܀

فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ صَلاتَهُ، وَلَمْ يَقْطَعْ رَجاءَهُ أَبَدًا.

wa-shmaʿ māryā ṣlōtēh w-savrēh lā psaq b-ghūdām.

And the Lord heard his prayer, and did not cut off his hope at all.

Et le Seigneur entendit sa prière, et ne trancha nullement son espérance.

ܫܲܕܲܪ ܠܥܝܼܪܹܗ ܘܒܲܕܡܘܼܬ݂ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܐܸܬ݂ܚܙܝܼ ܒܤܘܼܪܵܡ:

أَرْسَلَ رَقِيبَهُ، وَعَلى مِثالِ أَبِينا ظَهَرَ في الزَّوْرَقِ،

shadar l-ʿīrēh w-ba-d-mūth avūn ethḥzī b-sūrām:

He sent his watcher, and in the likeness of our father it appeared in the boat,

Il envoya son veilleur, et à la ressemblance de notre père il apparut dans la barque,

ܘܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܡܹܝܢܘܿܢ ܕܩܲܪܩܘܼܪ ܝܼܬܸܒ݂ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܹܐ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ ܪܤܲܡ܀

وَجَلَسَ عَلى مُقَدَّمِ الزَّوْرَقِ، وَوَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةً.

w-ʿal armēynōn d-qarqūr ītev w-rḥmē ʿlāwhī rsam.

And sat on the foresail of the boat, and set mercy upon him.

Et s'assit sur la voile de proue de la barque, et posa sur lui des compassions.

ܟܲܕ ܤܲܦܵܢܵܐ ܒܲܚܙܵܬ݂ ܐܲܒ݂ܘܼܢ ܬܗܲܪ ܘܐܸܬ݂ܒܲܤܲܡ:‏

لَمّا رَأَى المَلّاحُ أَبانا تَعَجَّبَ وَفَرِحَ،

kad sapānā ba-ḥzāth avūn thar w-ethbasam:

When the boatman saw our father, he was amazed and gladdened,

Quand le batelier vit notre père, il fut stupéfait et réjoui,

ܗܲܦܟܹ݁ܗ ܠܩܲܪܩܘܼܪ ܘܗܲܪ̈ܛܝܼܩܹܐ ܛܲܒܲܥܘ ܘܐܸܬ݁ܬܲܗܲܡܘ܀

فَقَلَبَ الزَّوْرَقَ، وَالهَراطِقَةُ غَرِقُوا وَهَلَكُوا.

hapkēh l-qarqūr w-harṭīqē ṭabaʿw w-ettahamw.

And it turned the boat over, and the heretics sank and were lost.

Et il retourna la barque, et les hérétiques coulèrent et périrent.

ܒܵܬܲܪ ܕܐܸܬ݂ܚܢܸܩܘ ܬܲܪܨܹܗ ܤܵܒ݂ܵܐ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܕܐܸܬ݂ܩܲܕܲܡ:

بَعْدَ أَنْ غَرِقُوا، قَوَّمَهُ الشَّيْخُ كَما كانَ مِنْ قَبْلُ،

bātar d-ethḥneqw tarṣēh sāvā aykh d-ethqadam:

After they were drowned, the old man set it straight, as it was before,

Après qu'ils furent noyés, le vieillard la redressa, comme auparavant,

ܘܦܝܼܬ݂ܝܘܿܢ ܠܵܐ ܡܛܵܝܼܗܝ ܢܸܟ݂ܝܵܢ ܡܸܕܸܡ ܘܠܵܐ ܐܸܬ݂ܟܲܝܲܡ܀

وَلَمْ يَبْلُغْ بِيثْيُونَ أَيُّ أَذًى، وَلَمْ يُصَبْ.

w-pīthyōn lā mṭāīhī nekhyān medem w-lā ethkayam.

And no harm reached Pithyon at all, nor was he hurt.

Et aucun mal n'atteignit Pithyon, et il ne fut pas blessé.

ܐܵܦܠܐ ܩܲܝܤܵܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܩܲܪܩܘܼܪܹܗ ܢ̣ܦܲܠ ܘܐܸܬ݁ܬܲܓܲܡ:‏

وَلا قِطْعَةُ خَشَبٍ مِنْ زَوْرَقِهِ سَقَطَتْ وَضاعَتْ،

āpl qaysā men qarqūrēh npal w-ettagam:

Not even a piece of wood from his boat fell and was lost,

Pas même un morceau de bois de sa barque ne tomba ni ne se perdit,

ܒܕܲܚܙܵܝܗܝ ܠܤܵܒ݂ܵܐ ܕܲܡܤܵܘܤܸܐ ܠܹܗ ܕܠܐ ܢܸܬ݂ܗܲܓܲܡ܀

عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِهِ الشَّيْخَ الَّذِي أَسْنَدَهُ لِئَلّا يَتَحَطَّمَ.

b-da-ḥzāyhī l-sāvā da-msāwse lēh d-lā nethhagam.

At seeing the old man who supported him so that he would not be crushed.

À la vue du vieillard qui le soutenait afin qu'il ne fût pas écrasé.

ܡܸܢܹܗ ܕܤܵܒ݂ܵܐ ܫ̣ܡܲܥ ܗ̄ܘ̣ܵܐ ܦܝܼܬ݂ܝܘܿܢ ܩܵܠ ܕܐܸܬ݂ܦܲܬ݂ܓܲܡ:‏

menēh d-sāvā shmaʿ (h)wā pīthyōn qāl d-ethpathgam:

Pithyon heard from the old man a voice that spoke:

Pithyon entendit du vieillard une voix qui disait :

ܚܙܝܼ ܐܘܿ ܦܝܼܬ݂ܝܘܿܢ ܕܥܲܡ ܚܸܪ̈ܚܹܵܐ ܠܐ ܩܢܲܝܼܬ݁ ܙܘܼܥܵܡ܀

«انْظُرْ يا بِيثْيُونُ، أَنَّكَ مَعَ المُخاصِمِينَ لَمْ تَحْمِلْ غَضَبَهُمْ.

ḥzī ʾō pīthyōn d-ʿam ḥerḥā lā qnaīt zūʿām.

"See, Pithyon, that with the quarrelsome you did not take up their wrath.

« Vois, ô Pithyon, qu'avec les querelleurs tu n'as pas pris leur colère.

ܥܲܠ ܕܐܸܬ݂ܓܵܘܲܤܬ݁ ܒܝܼ ܘܲܩܪܲܝܬܵܢܝ ܩܲܕܝܼܬ݁ ܒܘܼܤܵܡ:

ʿal d-ethgāwast bī wa-qraytānī qadīt b-w-sām:

Because you took refuge in me, and called upon me early and sweetly,

Parce que tu t'es réfugié en moi, et m'as invoqué de bon matin et avec douceur,

ܘܡ̣ܢ ܒܛܝܼܠܘܼܬܵܐ ܦܸܨܬ݂ܵܐ ܡܛܵܬܵܟ݂ ܕܐܝܟ݂ ܗܵܢ ܢܘܼܚܵܡ܀

وَمِنَ الهَلاكِ بَلَغَكَ الخَلاصُ، كَقِيامَةٍ مِنَ المَوْتِ.

w-men b-ṭīlūtā peṣthā mṭātākh d-aykh hān nūḥām.

And from destruction deliverance has reached you, like a rising from the dead.

Et que de la perdition le salut t'est parvenu, comme un relèvement d'entre les morts.

These wretches had gone out to kill me, and now they are quenched.

Ces misérables étaient sortis pour me tuer, et maintenant ils sont éteints.

Everyone who heard this good wonder gave praise without ceasing,

Quiconque entendit cette belle merveille loua sans cesse,

ܘܐܵܘܕܲܝ ܒܡܵܪܹܗ ܕܪܒܲܢ ܗܘܿܪܡܝܼܙܕ ܘܠܹܗ ܝܲܗ̄ܒ݂ ܢܘܼܥܵܡ܀

وَشَكَرَ رَبَّ ربّانِ هُرْمِزْدَ، وَرَفَعَ لَهُ نَشِيدًا عَذْبًا.

w-āwdaī b-mārēh d-rban hōrmīzd w-lēh ya(h)v nūʿām.

And gave thanks to the Lord of Rabban Hormizd, and gave him sweet song.

Et rendit grâces au Seigneur de Rabban Hormizd, et lui offrit un chant doux.

And like dogs, in their accursed ways, see, they were muzzled.

Et comme des chiens, dans leur voie maudite, voici, ils ont été muselés.

And even their walls of error were brought down by you.

Et même leurs murs d'erreur ont été abattus par toi.
