| [1]ܫܡܲܥܘ ܒ̈ܢܲܝܵܐ ܡܲܪܕ̇ܘܼܬܹܗ ܕܐܵܒ̣ܵܐ. ܘܨܘܼܬ̣ܘ ܝܼܕܲܥܬ̣ܵܐ ܘܣܘܼܟܵܠܵܐ. |
[1]Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding. |
| [2]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܝܘܼܠܦܵܢܵܐ ܛܵܒ̣ܵܐ ܝܸܗ̄ܒܹ̇ܬ̣ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܢ. ܢܵܡܘܿܣܝ ܠܵܐ ܬܸܫܒ̇ܩܘܼܢ. |
[2]For I give you a good gift; forsake ye not my law. |
| [3]ܒܪܵܐ ܓܹܝܪ ܗܘܹ̇ܝܬ̣ ܠܐܵܒ̣ܝ ܡܦܲܢܩܵܐ: ܘܝܼܚܝܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܩܕ݂ܵܡ ܐܹܡܝ. |
[3]For I also was a son obedient to my father, and loved in the sight of my mother: |
| [4]ܘܐܲܠ̣ܦܲܢܝ ܘܐܸܡ̣ܲܪ ܠܝܼ: ܬܸܬ̣ܚܲܝܲܠ ܡܸܠܲܬ̣ܝ ܒܠܸܒܵܟ݂. ܘܛܲܪ ܦܘܼܩ̈ܕܵܢܲܝ ܘܲܚܝܝܼ: ܘܢܵܡܘܿܣܝ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܒܵܒ̣ܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܥܲܝܢܵܐ. |
[4]who spoke and instructed me, saying, Let our speech be fixed in thine heart, keep our commandments, forget them not: |
| [5]ܩܢܝܼ ܚܸܟ݂ܡ̱ܬ̣ܵܐ: ܘܲܩ̣ܢܝܼ ܣܘܼܟܵܠܵܐ. ܘܠܵܐ ܬܸܣܛܹܐ ܡ̣ܢ ܡܹܐܡܪܹܗ ܕܦܘܼܡܝ. |
[5]and do not neglect the speech of my mouth. |
| [6]ܠܵܐ ܬܸܫܒ̇ܩܝܼܗ̇ ܕܲܬ̣ܢܲܛܪܵܟ݂. ܪܚܲܡܹܝܗ̇ ܕܲܬ̣ܫܵܘܙܒ̣ܵܟ݂. |
[6]And forsake it not, and it shall cleave to thee: love it, and it shall keep thee. |
| [7]ܪܹܫ ܚܸܟ݂ܡ̱ܬ̣ܵܐ ܩܢܝܼ ܚܸܟ݂ܡ̱ܬ̣ܵܐ. ܘܲܒ̣ܟ݂ܠܹܗ ܩܸܢܝܵܢܵܟ݂ ܩܢܝܼ ܣܘܼܟܵܠܵܐ. |
7[No verse] |
| [8]ܚܲܒܸ̇ܒܹܝܗ̇ ܕܲܬ̣ܪܲܡܪܡܵܟ݂. ܘܥܲܦܸܩܹܝܗ̇ ܕܲܬ̣ܝܲܩܪܵܟ݂. |
[8]Secure it, and it shall exalt thee: honour it, that it may embrace thee; |
| [9]ܘܲܬ̣ܣܝܼܡ ܒܪܹܫܵܟ݂ ܝܵܐ ܝܵܐܝܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܪܘܼܚܵܦܵܐ ܘܒܲܟ݂ܠܝܼܠܵܐ ܕܫܘܼܒ̣ܚܵܐ ܬܣܲܝܥܵܟ݂. |
[9]that it may give unto thy head a crown of graces, and may cover thee with a crown of delight. |
| [10]ܫܡܲܥ ܒܹܪܝ: ܘܩܲܒܸ̇ܠ ܡܸܠܲܝ̈. ܘܢܸܣ̈ܓܝܵܢ ܫܢܲـ̈ـܝܵܐ ܕܚܲܝܲܝ̈ܟ. |
[10]Hear, my son, and receive my words; and the years of thy life shall be increased, that the resources of thy life may be many. |
| [11]ܐܘܼܪ̈ܚܵܬ̣ܵܐ ܕܚܸܟ݂ܡ̱ܬܵܐ ܐܲܠܸܦ̇ܬܵܟ݂: ܘܗܲܠܸܟ݂ܬܵܟ݂ ܒܲܫܒ̣ܝܼ̈ܠܹܐ ܬܪ̈ܝܼܨܹܐ. |
[11]For I teach thee the ways of wisdom; and I cause thee to go in right paths. |
| [12]ܘܡܵܐ ܕܲܡܗܲܠܸܟ݂ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇: ܠܵܐ ܢܙܘܼ̈ܥܵܢ ܗܲܠܟ݂ܵـ̈ـܬ̣ܵܟ݂. ܘܐܸܢ ܪܵܗܹ̇ܛ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇: ܠܵܐ ܬܸܬ̇ܩܸܠ. |
[12]For when thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not be distressed. |
| [13]ܚܲܡܣܝܼܢ ܒܡܲܪܕ̇ܘܼܬ̣ܝ: ܘܠܵܐ ܬܸܫܒ̇ܩܝܼܗ̇ ܛܲܪܹܝܗ̇ ܡܸܛܠ ܕܗ̤ܝ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܚܲܝܲܝ̈ܟ. |
[13]Take hold of my instruction; let it not go,—but keep it for thyself for thy life. |
| [14]ܒܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ ܕܚܲܛܵܝܹ̈ܐ ܠܵܐ ܬܹܐܙܲܠ. ܘܠܵܐ ܬܸܛܲܢ ܒܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ ܕܒ̣ܝܼܫܹ̈ܐ. |
[14]Go not in the ways of the ungodly, neither covet the ways of transgressors. |
| [15]ܘܒܲܐܬ̣ܪܵܐ ܕܲܫܪܹܝܢ: ܠܵܐ ܬܸܥܒܲܪ ܒܹܗ ܐܸܠܵܐ ܣܛܝܼ ܘܲܥܒܲܪ ܡܸܢܹܗ. |
[15]In whatever place they shall pitch their camp, go not thither; but turn from them, and pass away. |
| [16]ܠܵܐ ܓܹܝܪ ܕܵܡ̇ܟ̇ܝܼܢ ܥܕܲܡܵܐ ܕܥܵـ̇ـܒ̣ܕ̇ܝܼܢ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ. ܘܦܲܪܝܼܕ݂ܵܐ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܫܸܢܲܬ̣ܗܘܿܢ ܥܕܲܡܵܐ ܕܥܵـ̇ـܒ݂ܕ̇ܝܼܢ ܨܸܒ̣ܝܵܢܗܘܿܢ. |
[16]For they cannot sleep, unless they have done evil: their sleep is taken away, and they rest not. |
| [17]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܡܹܐܟ݂ܘܼܠܬ̇ܗܘܿܢ ܡܹܐܟ݂ܘܼܠܬܵܐ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܕܥܵܘܼܠܵܐ. ܘܚܲܡܪܵܐ ܕܥܸܬܵܐ ܫܵܬܹ̇ܝܢ. |
[17]For these live upon the bread of ungodliness, and are drunken with wine of transgression. |
| [18]ܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ ܕܹܝܢ ܕܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܹ̈ܐ: ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܢܘܼܗܪܵܐ ܡܲܙ̱ܗܪܵܐ. ܘܐܵܙܹ̇ܠ ܢܘܼܗܪܵܗ̇ ܥܕܲܡܵܐ ܕܬܵܩܹ̇ܢ ܝܵܘܡܵܐ. |
[18]But the ways of the righteous shine like light; they go on and shine, until the day be fully come. |
| [19]ܐܘܼܪܚܵܐ ܕܹܝܢ ܕܪ̈ܲܫܝܼܥܹܐ ܚܸܫܘܿܟ݂ܵܐ ܗ̄ܝܼ ܘܠܵܐ ܝܵܕ̇ܥܝܼܢ ܒܡܵܢܵܐ ܡܸܬ̇ܬܲܩܠܝܼܢ. |
[19]But the ways of the ungodly are dark; they know not how they stumble. |
| [20]ܒܹܪܝ: ܨܘܼܬ̣ ܡܸܠܲܝ̈. ܘܲܠܡܹܐܡܲܪܝ ܐܲܪܟܸ̇ܢ ܐܸܕ݂ܢܵܟ݂. |
[20]My son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words: |
| [21]ܠܵܐ ܢܸܙ̈ܠܵܢ ܒܥܲܝܢܲܝ̈ܟ. ܐܸܠܵܐ ܛܲܪ ܐܸܢܹܝܢ ܒܓ̣ܵܘܹܗ ܕܠܸܒܵܟ݂. |
[21]that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in thine heart. |
| [22]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܚܲܝܹ̈ܐ ܐܸܢܹܝܢ ܠܡ̇ܢ ܕܡܸܫܟܲܚ ܠܗܹܝܢ. ܘܒܸܣܪܹܗ ܟܠܹܗ ܡܲܐܣܹܐ. |
[22]For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. |
| [23]ܒܟ݂ܠ ܙܘܼܗܵܪ ܛܲܪ ܠܸܒܵܟ݂: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܡܸܢܹܗ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܡܲܦܩܵܢܵܐ ܕܚܲܝܹ̈ܐ. |
[23]Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life. |
| [24]ܐܲܥܒܲܪ ܡܸܢܵܟ݂ ܦܘܼܡܵܐ ܥܩܝܼܡܵܐ. ܘܕ̇ܢܝܵܐ ܕܥܸܬܵܐ ܐܲܪܚܸܩ ܡ̣ܢ ܣܸܦ̈ܘܵܬ̣ܵܟ݂. |
[24]Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips. |
| [25]ܥܲܝܢܲܝ̈ܟ ܒܲܬ̣ܪܝܼܨܘܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܢܚܘܼܪ̈ܵܢ. ܘܬܸܡܪܲܝܟ ܢܸܬ̣ܪ̱ܨܘܼܢ ܠܩܘܼܒ̣ܠܵܟ݂. |
[25]Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent to just things. |
| [26]ܐܲܥܒܲܪ ܪܸܓ̣ܠܵܟ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܫܒ̣ܝܼ̈ܠܹܐ ܒܝܼ̈ܫܹܐ. ܘܟ݂ܠܗܹܝܢ ܐܘܼܪ̈ܚܵܬ̣ܵܟ݂ ܢܸܬ̣ܩ̈ܢܵܢ. |
[26]Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright. |
| [27]ܘܠܵܐ ܬܸܣܛܹܐ ܠܝܲܡܝܼܢܵܐ ܘܲܠܣܸܡܵܠܵܐ ܐܸܠܵܐ ܐܲܥܒܲܪ ܪܸܓ̣ܠܵܟ݂ ܡ̣ܢ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ. |
[27]Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way: [for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked:] and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace. |
