and he loved the faithful well, and rejected the crooked.

et il aima bien les fidèles, et rejeta les tortueux.

ܐܲܟ݂ܙܸܢ ܐܲܒ݂ܩܵܐ ܠܫܹܐܕ ܬܚܹܝܬ݂ ܪܸ̈ܓܠܵܘܗܝ ܫܲܒ݂ܩܹܗ ܟܲܕ ܚܒ݂ܝܼܨ:

akhzen avqā l-shēd tḥēyth reglāwhī shavqēh kad ḥvīṣ:

He trampled the demon under his feet, and left him crushed,

Il foula le démon sous ses pieds, et le laissa écrasé,

ܘܚܘܼܬ݂ܪܹܗ ܡܕܲܓ݁ܠܐ ܘܒܲܩܝܼܩ ܘܦܲܚܝܼܚ ܒܲܨܠܘܿܬܹܗ ܪܨܝܼܨ܀

and his staff, deceitful, empty and cracked, he crushed with his prayer.

et son bâton, trompeur, vide et fendu, il le broya par sa prière.

ܒܕ݂ܘܼܓ݂ܡܵܐܛܝܼܩܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܓܹܐܪܹܗ ܤܡܝܼܡܵܐ ܒܠܸܒ݁ܗܘܿܢ ܗܘ݀ܵܐ ܒܪܝܼܨ:

b-d-w-ghmāṭīqāwhī gērēh smīmā b-lebhōn hwā b-rīṣ:

In his teachings his poisoned arrow was fixed in their heart,

Dans ses enseignements sa flèche empoisonnée était plantée dans leur cœur,

ܘܩܸܨ ܫܘܼܥܠܵܝܗܘܿܢ ܒܲܥܕܲܪ ܨܠܘܿܬܹܗ ܥܠܲܝܗܘܿܢ ܗܘ݀ܵܐ ܒܠܝܼܨ܀

وَنِهايَةُ حِيَلِهِمْ، بِعَوْنِ صَلاتِهِ، أُلِحَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

and the end of their deceits, by the help of his prayer, was pressed upon them.

et la fin de leurs ruses, par l'aide de sa prière, fut pressée sur eux.

ܐܝܟ݂ ܐܲܬ݂ܠܹܝܤܵܐ ܐܵܓ݂ܘܿܢܝܼܤܹܐ ܥ̣ܒܲܕ ܟܲܕ ܗ݀ܘ ܚܝܼܨ:

كَالمُجاهِدِ خاضَ المَيادينَ، وَهُوَ مُتَلَهِّفٌ،

aykh athlēysā āghōnīsē ʿbad kad hāw ḥīṣ:

Like an athlete he fought the contests, eager as he was,

Comme un athlète il livra les combats, ardent comme il était,

ܘܲܕܡܲܪܘ ܥܝܼܪܹ̈ܐ ܒܐܲܬ݂ܠܹܝܤܘܼܬܹܗ ܒܕܲܚܙܵܘ ܕܲܚܠܝܼܨ܀

وَتَعَجَّبَ السَّاهِرونَ مِنْ جِهادِهِ، حينَ رَأَوْهُ مُتَمَنْطِقًا لِلْقِتالِ.

wa-d-marw ʿīrē b-athlēysūtēh b-da-ḥzāw da-ḥlīṣ.

and the watchers marvelled at his athletic feats, when they saw that he was girded for the fight.

et les veilleurs s'émerveillèrent de ses exploits d'athlète, quand ils virent qu'il était ceint pour la lutte.

The will of the Lord and his hidden power he brought into the open,

La volonté du Seigneur et sa puissance cachée, il les fit paraître au grand jour,

ܘܐܝܟ ܕܲܒ݂ܕܵܘܝܼܕ ܕܨܸܒ݂ܝܵܢ ܕܵܚܠܵܘܗ̈ܝ ܚܪܲܩ ܕܠܐ ܕܵܚܹ̇ܩ܀

ṣevyānhōn d-yn w-khlāh b-ʿāthhōn ʿābēd w-mapeq:

Their desire, all of it, in their request he does and brings about,

Leur désir, tout entier, dans leur demande, il le fait et l'accomplit,

w-la-d-maʿwel b-hōn b-nārgā d-rūghzēh māwbed w-pāsēq.

and whoever would bring on them the saw of his wrath, he destroys and cuts off.

et celui qui voudrait faire venir sur eux la scie de sa colère, il le détruit et le tranche.

ܟܡܵܐ ܕܹܝܢ ܙܲܒ݂ܢ̈ܝܼܢ ܥܲܠ ܡܵܪ̈ܘܿܕܹܐ ܦܵܩܹ̇ܕ ܘܢܵܦܹܩ̇:

But how many times he commands against the rebels, and it goes forth:

Mais combien de fois il ordonne contre les rebelles, et cela sort :

shavṭā d-rūghzā d-qāṭal l-b-īshē kēyth wa-mṭalēq.

a rod of wrath that kills the wicked indeed, and destroys them.

une verge de colère qui tue les méchants, vraiment, et les détruit.
