Prologue

"Puisqu’il faut écrire et faire connaître les combats des amis du Christ, passionnés de la Croix et martys de l’Unique, car ils sont la vie de l’âme et le salut du corps, utiles pour les auditeurs et commerce de biens pour tout le monde…"1 "ܡܛܠ ܕܝܢ ܕܙܕܩ ܠܪ̈ܚܡܝ ܠܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܓܘܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ ܕܡܚ̈ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܙܩܝܦܐ ܘܣܗܕ̈ܘܗܝ ܕܐܝܚܝܕܝܐ ܢܟܬܘܒ ܘܢܘܕܥ: ܚ̈ܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܦܫܐ ܘܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܦܓܪܐ ܘܐܦ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܠܫܡܘ̈ܥܐ ܘܠܟܠܢܫ ܬܓܘܪܬܐ ܕܛܒ̈ܬܐ."1

Incipit

"ܟܕ ܓܝܪ ܠܘܩܝܐܢܘܣ ܡܠܟܐ ܥܘܠܐ ܐܡܠܟ ܒܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܪ̈ܘܡܝܐ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܐܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܥܡܐ ܕܟܪ̈ܝܣܛܝܢܐ."1 "Quand l’empereur impie Lucien fut monté sur le trône de l’empire romain, il déclencha une persécution dure contre le peuple des chrétiens."1

Explicit

"ܘܗܟܢܐ ܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܗܘܘ ܐܓܘܢܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܘܐܬܟܠܠܘ ܒܣܗܕܘܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ. ܘܗܐ ܡܢܗܪܝܢ ܒܥܠܡܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܝܟ ܟܘܟ̈ܒܐ ܕܒܪܩܝܥܐ. ܡܛܠ ܕܫܛܘ ܘܐܣܠܝܘ ܟܠܡܕܡ: ܘܐܘܕܝܘ ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܡܫܝܚܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܥܠ ܟܠ. ܘܗܐ ܡܬܢܨܚ ܒܐܪ̈ܒܥ ܦܢ̈ܝܢ ܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܘܟܪ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ. ܕܒܝܕ ܨ̈ܠܘܬܗܘܢ... ܐܡܝܢ."1 "Et ils combattirent ainsi un beau combat, et ils furent couronnés dans un bon martyre; et voilà qu’ils brillent dans le monde entier comme des étoiles au firmament. Et parce qu’ils ont tout méprisé et rejeté pour confesser et croire dans le Christ Jésus qui est Dieu au-dessus de tout, voilà que le jour de leurs mémoires est célébré aux quatre coins du monde. Qu’à leur prière… Amen."1
