| 1 Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him. | 1 ܪܚܡܘ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܕܝܢ̈ܝܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܪܢܘ ܥܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܒ̈ܛܒܬܐ ܘܒܠܒܐ ܦܫܝܛܐ ܒܥܐܘܗܝ |
| 2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him. | 2 ܡܛܠ ܕܡܫܬܟܚ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܢܣܝܢ ܠܗ ܘܡܬܓܠܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ |
| 3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise. | 3 ܡܚܫ̈ܒܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܡܪ̈ܚܩܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܒܩܐ ܡܟܣ ܠܫ̈ܛܝܐ |
| 4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin. | 4 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܢܦܫܐ ܕܡܬܠܬܟܐ ܒܝܫ̈ܬܐ ܠܐ ܥܐܠܐ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܐܦ ܠܐ ܥܡܪܐ ܒܦܓܪܐ ܕܡܚ̇ܝܒ ܠܚܛܝܬܐ |
| 5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in. | 5 ܪܘܚܐ ܓܝܪ ܩܕܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܪܕܘܬܐ ܥܪܩܐ ܡܢ ܢܟܠܐ ܘܡܬܪܚܩܐ ܡܢ ܡܚܫ̈ܒܬܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܡܟܣܐ ܠܟܠ ܛܠܘܡܝܐ ܕܐܬܐ |
| 6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. | 6 ܪܚܡܐ ܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܙܕܩܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܡܓܕܦܢܐ ܡܢ ܣ̈ܦܘܬܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܣܗܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܘ̈ܠܝܬܐ ܘܕܠܒܐ ܣܥܘܪܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܪܪܐ ܘܫܡܘܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܠܫܢܗ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ |
| 7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice. | 7 ܡܛܘܠ ܕܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܬ ܬܒܝܠ ܘܗ̇ܘ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܟܠ ܒܝܕܥܬܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܩܠܗ̇ |
| 8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him. | 8 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܠܝܬ ܐܢܫ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܛܠܘܡܝܐ ܘܡܬܛܫܐ ܘܠܐ ܦܠܛ ܡܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܕܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ |
| 9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds. | 9 ܥܠ ܡܚܫ̈ܒܬܗ ܓܝܪ ܕܪܫܝܥܐ ܫܐܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܡܥܐ ܕܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܐܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܪܝܐ ܠܡܟܣܢܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܫܥܗ |
| 10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid. | 10 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܕܢܐ ܕܚܣܡܐ ܫܡܥܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܚܘܫܚܐ ܕܪܛܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܫܐ |
| 11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul. | 11 ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܡܢ ܪܛܢܐ ܕܠܝܬ ܒܗ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܐܟܠ ܩܪܨܐ ܚܘܣܘ ܥܠ ܠܫܢܝܟ̈ܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܡܠܠܐ ܟܣܝܐ ܠܐ ܢܦܩ ܣܪܝܩܐܝܬ ܦܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܓܠܐ ܩܛܠ ܢܦܫܐ |
| 12 Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands. | 12 ܠܐ ܬܚܣܡܘܢ ܒܡܘܬܐ ܒܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܥܘܡܪܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܬܢܬܦܘܢ ܒܚܘܣܪܢܐ ܕܚܒܠܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܟܘܢ |
| 13 For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. | 13 ܡܛܠ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܨܒܐ ܒܐܒܕܢܗܘܢ ܕܚ̈ܝܐ |
| 14 For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth: | 14 ܐܠܐ ܒܪܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܘܒܡܘܠܕܗ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܚ̈ܝܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ ܣܡܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܫܝܘܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ |
| 15 (For righteousness is immortal:) | 15 ܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܐ ܡܘܬܐ ܗܝ |
| 16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it. | 16 ܪ̈ܫܝܥܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܡ̈ܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܒܥܒ̈ܕܝܗܘܢ ܩܪܐܘܗܝ ܪܚܡܐ ܚܫܒܘܗܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܚܒܠܘ ܘܝܡܘ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܥܡܗ ܩܝܡܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܫܘܝܢ ܕܡܢܬܗ ܕܗ̇ܘ ܢܗܘܘܢ |
