[2]ܦܘܼܡܹܗ ܕܡܲܠܟܵܐ ܛܲܪ. ܘܥܲܠ ܡܸܠܲܬ̣ ܡܵܘܡܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܬܸܣܬܲܪܗܲܒ̣. |
| [3]Haste thou not to go awei fro his face, and dwelle thou not in yuel werk. For he schal do al thing, that he wole; |
[3]ܡ̣ܢ ܩܕܼܵܡܵܘܗܝ ܙܸܠ. ܘܠܵܐ ܬܩܘܼܡ ܒܦܸܬ̣ܓ̣ܵܡ ܒܝܼܫ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܟ̣ܠ ܕܢܸܨܒܸ̇ܐ ܢܸܥܒܸ̇ܕܼ. |
| [4]and his word is ful of power, and no man mai seie to hym, Whi doist thou so? |
[4]ܐܲܝܟܲܢܵܐ ܕܲܢܡܲܠܸܠ ܡܲܠܟܵܐ ܫܲܠܝܼܛ. ܘܡܲܢ̣ܘܼ ܕܢܹܐܡܲܪ ܠܹܗ: ܡܵܢܵܐ ܥܵܒܹ̇ܕܼ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇. |
| [5]He that kepith the comaundement of God `in this lijf, schal not feele ony thing of yuel; the herte of a wijs man vndurstondith tyme and answer. |
[5]ܕܢܵܛܲܪ ܦܘܼܩܕܵܢܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܝܵܕܲܥ ܡܸܠܬ̣ܵܐ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ. ܘܙܲܒ̣ܢܵܐ ܘܕܼܝܼܢܵܐ ܝܵܕܲܥ ܕܚܲܟ̇ܝܼܡܵܐ. |

[6]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܲܠܟ̣ܠ ܨܒ̣ܘܼ ܐܝܼܬ̣ ܙܲܒ̣ܢܵܐ ܘܕܼܝܼܢܵܐ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܒ̣ܝܼܫܬܹ̇ܗ ܕܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܣܲܓ̇ܝܼܐܵܐ ܥܠܵܘܗܝ. |

[7]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܲܝܬ̇ ܕܝܵܕܲܥ ܠܡܵܐ ܕܲܗܘ̤ܵܐ. ܘܡܵܢܵܐ ܢܸܗܘܹܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܒܵܬ̣ܪܹܗ ܡܲܢ̣ܘܼ ܡܚܵܘܸܐ ܠܹܗ. |
| [8]It is not in the power of man to forbede the spirit, nethir he hath power in the dai of deth, nethir he is suffrid to haue reste, whanne the batel neiyeth; nethir wickidnesse schal saue a wickid man. |
[8]ܠܲܝܬ̇ ܐܢܵܫ ܕܫܲܠܝܼܛ ܒܪܘܼܚܵܐ ܠܡܸܟ̣ܠܵܐ ܪܘܼܚܵܐ. ܘܠܲܝܬ ܫܘܼܠܛܵܢܵܐ ܒܝܵܘܡܵܐ ܕܡܵܘܬܵܐ. ܘܠܲܝܬ̇ ܦܘܼܠܵܛܵܐ ܒܝܵܘܡܵܐ ܕܲܩܪܵܒ̣ܵܐ. ܘܠܵܐ ܡܫܵܘܙܸܒ̣ ܪܘܼܫܥܵܐ ܠܡܵܪ̈ܵܘܗܝ. |
| [9]I bihelde alle thes thingis, and Y yaf myn herte in alle werkis, that ben don vndur the sunne. Sum tyme a man is lord of a man, to his yuel. |
[9]ܘܝܵܬ̣ ܟܠ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܚܙܹ̇ܝܬ̣. ܘܝܸܗ̄ܒܹ̇ܬ̣ ܠܹܒ̇ܝ ܠܡܸܕܲܥ ܟܠ ܥܒ̣ܵܕܼ ܕܡܸܬ̣ܥ̱ܒܸܕܼ ܬܚܹܝܬ̣ ܫܸܡܫܵܐ: ܘܙܲܒ̣ܢܵܐ ܕܐܸܫܬܲܠܲܛ ܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܒܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܠܡܲܒ̣ܐܵܫܘܼ ܠܹܗ. |
| [10]Y siy wickid men biryed, which, whanne thei lyueden yit, weren in hooli place; and thei weren preisid in the citee, as men of iust werkis; but also this is vanyte. |
[10]ܘܗܵܝܕܹ̇ܝܢ ܚܙܹ̇ܝܬ̣ ܪ̈ܲܫܝܼܥܹܐ ܕܲܩܒ̣ܝܼܪܝܼܢ ܘܐܵܬܹ̇ܝܢ. ܘܡ̣ܢ ܐܲܬ̣ܪܵܐ ܕܩܘܼܕܼܫܵܐ ܐܸܙܲܠ̣ܘ. ܘܐܸܬ̇ܛܥܝܼܘ ܒܲܡܕܼܝܼܢ̄ܬܵܐ ܕܗܵܟܲܢܵܐ ܥ̣ܒܲܕܼܘ. ܘܐܵܦ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܗܸܒ̣ܠܵܐ. |

[12]ܡ̇ܢ ܕܚܵܛܹ̇ܐ ܥܵܒܹ̇ܕܼ ܒܝܼ̈ܫܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܡܵܐܐ: ܘܡܲܓܲܪ ܠܹܗ. ܘܝܵܕܲܥ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܕܢܸܗܘܹܐ ܛܵܒ̣ ܠܕܼܵܚ̇ܠܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܡܵܪܝܵܐ: ܕܢܸܕܼܚ̄ܠܘܼܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܩܕܼܵܡܵܘܗܝ. |
| [13]Good be not to the wickid man, nethir hise daies be maad longe; but passe thei as schadewe, that dreden not the face of the Lord. |
[13]ܘܛܵܒ̣ܬ̣ܵܐ ܠܵܐ ܬܸܗܘܹܐ ܠܪܲܫܝܼܥܵܐ ܘܠܵܐ ܢܲܓ̇ܝܼܪ ܝܵܘ̈ܡܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܐܲܝܟ ܛܸܠܵܠܵܐ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܐܝܼܬ̣ܵܘܗܝ ܕܵܚܹ̇ܠ ܡ̣ܢ ܩܕܼܵܡ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ. |

[14]ܐܝܼܬ̣ ܗܸܒ̣ܠܵܐ ܕܲܥܒ̣ܝܼܕܼ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܐܝܼܬ̣ ܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܹ̈ܐ ܕܡܵܛܹ̇ܐ ܠܘܵܬ̣ܗܘܿܢ ܐܲܝܟ ܥܒ̣ܵܕܼܵܐ ܕܪ̈ܲܫܝܼܥܹܐ. ܘܐܝܼܬ̣ ܪܲܫܝܼܥܹܐ ܕܡܵܛܹ̇ܐ ܠܘܵܬ̣ܗܘܿܢ ܐܲܝܟ ܥܒ̣ܵܕܼܵܐ ܕܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܹ̈ܐ. ܘܐܸܡ̇ܪܹܬ̣ ܕܐܵܦ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܗܸܒ̣ܠܵܐ. |
| [15]Therfor Y preysid gladnesse, that no good was to a man vndur the sunne, no but to ete, and drynke, and to be ioiful; and that he schulde bere awei with hym silf oneli this of his trauel, in the daies of his lijf, whiche God yaf to hym vndur the sunne. |
[15]ܘܫܲܒ̇ܚܹ̇ܬ̣ ܐܸܢܵܐ ܝܵܬ̣ ܚܲܕܼܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ. ܕܠܲܝܬ̇ ܕܛܵܒ̣ ܠܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܬܚܹܝܬ̣ ܫܸܡܫܵܐ: ܐܸܠܵܐ ܠܡܹܐܟܲܠ ܘܲܠܡܸܫܬܵܐ ܘܲܠܡܸܚܕܵܐ: ܘܗ̤ܘ ܠܵܘܹ̇ܐ ܠܹܗ ܒܥܲܡܠܹܗ: ܟܠ ܝܵܘ̈ܡܲܝ ܚܲܝܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܕܝܲܗ̄ܒ̣ ܠܹܗ ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ ܬܚܹܝܬ̣ ܫܸܡܫܵܐ. |
| [16]And Y settide myn herte to knowe wisdom, and to vndurstonde the departing, which is turned in erthe. A man is, that bi daies and niytis takith not sleep with iyen. |
[16]ܡܸܛܠ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܝܸܗ̄ܒܹ̇ܬ̣ ܠܹܒ̇ܝ ܠܡܸܕܲܥ ܚܸܟ̣ܡ̱ܬ̣ܵܐ: ܘܲܠܡܸܚܙܵܐ ܥܸܢܝܵܢܵܐ ܕܐܸܬ̣ܥ̱ܒܸܕܼ ܥܲܠ ܐܲܪܥܵܐ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܒ̣ܐܝܼܡܵܡܵܐ ܘܲܒ̣ܠܸܠܝܵܐ ܫܸܢܬ̣ܵܐ ܒܥܲܝܢܵܘ̈ܗܝ ܠܵܐ ܚܵܙܹ̇ܐ. |
| [17]And Y vndurstood, that of alle the werkis of God, a man may fynde no resoun of tho thingis, that ben don vndur the sunne; and in as myche as he traueilith more to seke, bi so myche he schal fynde lesse; yhe, thouy a wijs man seith that he knowith, he schal not mow fynde. |
[17]ܘܲܚܙܹ̇ܝܬ̣ ܐܸܢܵܐ ܟܠ ܥܒ̣ܵܕܼܵܐ ܕܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ. ܡܸܛܠ ܕܠܵܐ ܢܸܬ̣̱ܡܨܹܐ ܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐܝܵܬ̣ ܥܒ̣ܵܕܼܵܐ ܕܲܥܒ̣ܝܼܕܼ ܬܚܹܝܬ̣ ܫܸܡܫܵܐ. ܟܠ ܕܥܵܡܹ̇ܠ ܒܲܪܢܵܫܵܐ ܕܢܸܒ̣ܥܸܐ: ܠܵܐ ܢܸܫܟܲܚ. ܘܟ̣ܠ ܕܢܹܐܡܲܪ ܚܲܟ̇ܝܼܡܵܐ ܠܡܸܕܲܥ: ܠܵܐ ܢܸܬ̣ܡ̱ܨܹܐ ܠܡܸܫܟܵܚܘܼ. |
