Prologue

ܡܢ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܡܫܡܫܢܐ ܚܛܝܐ: ܠܡܗܝ̈ܡܢܐ ܘܪ̈ܘܚܢܐ ܒܡܪܢ ܫܠܡ. ܥܠ ܬܘܠܡܕܗܿ ܕܦܠܓܝܐ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܨܒܝܬ ܕܐܟܬܘܒ ܠܟܘܢ: ܩܕܝ̈ܫܐ ܐܒܗܝ̈ ܘܐܚܝ̈... 1
De Jacques, diacre pécheur, aux croyants et spirituels dans le Seigneur, paix. J’ai voulu vous écrire sur la conversion de la courtisane Pélagie, saints Pères et frères… 1

Incipit (Opening Line)

ܪܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܬܫܥܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܟܢܐ. ܐܦܣܩܘܦܐ ܕܐܢܛܝܘܟܝܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܣܘܪܝܐ ܐܣܬܢܩ: ܘܩܪܐ ܠܐܦܣܩ̈ܘܦܐ ܚܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ: ܡܛܠ ܣܘܥܪ̈ܢܐ ܕܥܕܬܐ ܕܐܠܨܐ ܗܘ̣ܬ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ. 1
Voici le début de cette histoire. L’évêque d’Antioche, ville de Syrie, dut appeler ses collègues évêques à propos des affaires de l’Église qui leur incombait. 1

Explicit (Closing Line)

ܘܫܠܡܬ ܥܠܝܗܿ ܗܝܿ ܕܐܡܝܪܐ ܒܐܘܢܓܠܝܘܢ: ܕܢܢܗܪ ܢܘܗܪܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝ̈ܢܫܐ: ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܥܒܕܝ̈ܟܘܢ ܛܒ̈ܐ: ܘܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܠܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ. ܗܠܝܢ ܕܘܒܪ̈ܐ ܫܒܝ̈ܚܐ ܟܬܒܬ ܠܟܘܢ: ܐܘ ܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ: ܐܢܐ ܝܥܩܘܒ ܚܛܝܐ ܘܡܫܡܫܢܐ: ܥܠ ܗܝܿ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܿ ܗܘ̣ܬ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ: ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܗܘܬ ܡܐܢܐ ܓܡܝܪܐ. ܘܗܠܝܢ ܩܘ̈ܠܣܐ ܩܒܠܢܢ ܥܠ ܡܣܠܝܬܐ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܝܡ: ܓܒܝܬܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ. ܢܨܠܐ... ܐܡܝܢ. 1
Et s’accomplit pour elle ce qui est dit dans l’Évangile: «Que votre lumière brille devant les hommes, pour qu’ils voient vos bonnes oeuvres et qu’ils louent votre Père au ciel.» Je vous ai écrit cette vie glorieuse, amis de Dieu, moi Jacques, pécheur et diacre, sur celle qui fut d’abord courtisane et puis devint un instrument parfait. Nous avons reçu ces éloges sur celle qui fut d’abord rejetée puis élue. Prions… Amen. 1
