Incipit (Opening Line)

“ܥܡܘܣ ܗܿܘ ܬܗܝܪܐ ܘܪܒ ܒܢܒ̈ܝܐ ܟܕ ܠܘܬ ܡܘܟܟܐ ܘܡܬܬܚܬܝܘܬܐ ܡܬܩܦܣ: ܘܡܡܫܚ ܙܥܘܪܘܬܗ ܥܡ ܩܪܝܬܗ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܡܥܠܝܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ: ܘܥܿܪܩ ܡܢ ܐܝܩܪܐ ܕܢܒܝܘܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܟܠܗ.” 1

“Amos, admirable et grand parmi les prophètes, étant restreint à l’abaissement et à l’humilité et mesurant sa petitesse par rapport à la grande et sublime vocation de Dieu, fuyait tout cet honneur de la prophétie.” 1

Explicit (Closing Line)

“ܡܛܠ ܕܒܙܒ̈ܢܐ ܕܕܡܿܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܫ̈ܠܡܢܐ ܕܫܪܪܐ. ܘܐܦܠܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܠܗܩܝܢܢ ܠܪ̈ܓܝܓܬܐ. ܢܬܬܚܬܐ ܠܗܘܢܐ ܡܣܠܝܐ. ܐܠܐ ܟܕ ܒܕܚܠܬܐ ܘܒܪܬܝܬܐ ܚܐܿܝܢ ܐܢܚܢܢ ܢܫܬܘܐ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ. ܠܗܿܝ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܕܢܩܒܠܝܗܿ ܟܘܠܢ ܒܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܘܒܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܪܒܐ... ܐܡܝܢ.” 1

“Afin que dans des temps semblables, nous ne soyons pas traîtres à la vérité et que, quand nous sommes enflammés pour les désirs, nous ne soyons pas soumis à un esprit impie, mais, en vivant dans la crainte et le tremblement, nous soyons jugés dignes du royaume des cieux. Puisse-t-il arriver que nous le recevions tous par la grâce et la miséricorde de notre grand Dieu… Amen.” 1
