Sirach 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 He that feareth the Lord will do good, and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her.	1 ܕܕ̇ܚܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܢܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ ܘܕܝ̇ܠܦ ܢܡܘܣܐ ܢܗ̇ܠܟ ܒܗ̇
2 And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin.	2 ܘܬܩܒܠܝܘܗܝ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܢܬܬ ܥܠܝܡܘܬܐ ܬܩܪܒܝܘܗܝ
3 With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.	3 ܘܬܘܟܠܝܘܗܝ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܚܟܡܬܐ ܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܣܟܘܠܬܢܘܬܐ ܬܫܩܝܘܗܝ
4 He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.	4 ܘܢܣܬܡܟ ܥܠܝܗ̇ ܘܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܘܥܠܝܗ̇ ܢܬܬܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܢܒܗܬ
5 She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.	5 ܘܬܪܝܡܝܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܚܒܪ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܒܓܘ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܬܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ
6 He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.	6 ܚܕܘܬܐ ܘܪܘܙܐ ܬܡܠܝܘܗܝ ܘܫܡܐ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܬܘܪܬܝܘܗܝ
7 But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall not see her.	7 ܠܐ ܢܗܠܟܘܢ ܒܗ̇ ܚ̈ܬܝܐ ܘܐܢ̈ܫܐ ܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢܗ̇
8 For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.	8 ܪܚܝܩܐ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܡܪ̈ܘܕܐ ܘܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܐ ܢܕܪܟܘܢܗ̇
9 Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.	9 ܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܝܐܝܐ ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܥܘ̈ܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܠܗܘܢ
10 For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.	10 ܒܦܘܡܐ ܕܚܟܝ̈ܡܐ ܬܬܐܡܪ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܘܕܫܠܝܛ ܒܗ̇ ܢܐܠܦܝܗ̇
11 Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.	11 ܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܕܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܣܪܚܬ ܘܚܛܝܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܣܢܐ ܠܐ ܥ̣ܒܕ
12 Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.	12 ܕܠܡܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܕܗܘ ܐܬܩܠܢܝ ܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܝܢܐ ܒܒܪ ܐܢܫܐ ܥܘܠܐ
13 The Lord hateth all abomination; and they that fear God love it not.	13 ܟܘܠ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܘܡܪܚܘܬܐ ܣܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܬܠ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܠܪ̈ܚܡܘܗܝ
14 He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;	14 ܐܠܗܐ ܡܢ ܒܪܫܝܬ ܒܪܐ ܒܢܝܢ̈ܫܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܕ ܝܨܪܗܘܢ
15 If thou wilt, to keep the commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness.	15 ܐܢ ܬܨܒܐ ܬܛܪ ܦܘܩܕ̈ܢܘܗܝ ܘܐܢ ܬܗܝܡܢ ܒܗ̇ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܬܚܐ
16 He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.	16 ܫܒܝܩܝܢ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܡ̈ܝܐ ܒܐܝܢܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܘܫܛ ܐܝܕܟ
17 Before man is life and death; and whether him liketh shall be given him.	17 ܐܬܝܗܒܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܢ̈ܝܢܫܐ ܚܝ̈ܐ ܘܡܘܬܐ ܕܢܓܒܘܢ ܚܝ̈ܐ ܘܢܫܒܩܘܢ ܡܘܬܐ
18 For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:	18 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܢܒܪܐ ܗܝ ܚܟܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܬܩܝܦ ܓܒܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܗܘ
19 And his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knoweth every work of man.	19 ܘܟܠ ܡܕܡ ܥ̈ܝܢܘܗܝ ܚ̈ܙܝܢ ܘܚܟܡ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܬܪ̈ܥܝܬܗܘܢ ܕܒܢܝ̈ܢܫܐ
20 He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin.	20 ܠܐ ܦܩܕ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܚܛܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܒ̈ܢܝ ܒܣܪܐ ܕܢܥܘܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܪܚܡ ܥܠ ܥܒ̈ܕܝ ܫܘܩܪܐ
