| 1 Have they made you the presider? Do not let it go to your head, behave like everyone else in the party,see that they are happy and then sit down yourself. | 1 ܪܒܐ ܐܩܝܡܘܟ ܠܐ ܬܬܪܝܡ ܘܒܪܝܫ ܥܬܝܪ̈ܐ ܠܐ ܬܣܬܡܟ ܗ̣ܘܝ ܠܟ ܐܝܟ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܝܨܦ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܟܢ ܐܣܬܡܟ |
| 2 Having discharged your duties, take your place so that your joy may be through theirs, and you mayreceive the crown for your competence. | 2 ܒܟܠ ܣܢܝܩܘܬܗܘܢ ܬ̇ܩܢ ܘܪܒܥ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܒܐܚܪܝܬܗܘܢ ܬܚܕܐ ܘܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܬ̇ܩܒܠ ܐܝܩܪܐ |
| 3 Speak, old man -- it is proper that you should -- but with discretion: do not spoil the music. | |
| 4 If someone is singing, do not ramble on and do not play the sage at the wrong moment. | 4 ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܡܫܬܬܐ ܒܗ ܚܡܪܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܡܪ ܒܗ ܫܘܥ̈ܝܬܐ ܘܒܟܠܥܕܢ ܠܐ ܬܬܚܟܡ |
| 5 An amber seal on a precious stone, such is a concert of music at a wine feast. | 5 ܐܝܟ ܚܬܡܐ ܥܠ ܟܝܣܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܗܝ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܬܝܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ |
| 6 An emerald seal in a golden setting, such are strains of music with a vintage wine. | 6 ܐܝܟ ܥܩܐ ܕܕܗܒܐ ܘܛܒ̈ܥܐ ܘܙܡܪ̈ܓܕܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܫܦܝܪ̈ܬܐ ܥܠ ܡܫܬܝܐ ܕܚܡܪܐ |
| 7 Speak, young man, when you must, but twice at most, and then only if questioned. | |
| 8 Keep to the point, say much in few words; give the impression of knowing but not wanting to speak. | |
| 9 Among eminent people do not behave as though you were their equal; do not make frivolous remarkswhen someone else is speaking. | 9 ܒܝܢܬ ܫܠܝ̈ܛܢܐ ܠܐ ܬܬܪܘܪܒ ܘܠܕܣܒܝܢ ܡܢܟ ܠܐ ܬܨܒܐ ܠܡܨܥܪܘ |
| 10 Lightning comes before the thunder, favour goes ahead of a modest person. | |
| 11 Leave in good time, do not bring up the rear, and hurry home without loitering. | 11 ܒܥܕܢܐ ܕܦܬܘܪܐ ܠܐ ܬܣܓܐ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܘܥܕ ܐܝܬ ܒܟ ܥܘܗܕܢܐ ܦܛܪ ܠܒܝܬܟ |
| 12 There amuse yourself, and do what you have a mind to, but do not sin by arrogant talk. | 12 ܘܥ̣ܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܟ ܒܕܚܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܒܚܘܣܪܢܐ |
| 13 And for all this bless your Creator, who intoxicates you with his favours. | 13 ܘܥܠ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܒ̇ܪܟ ܫܡܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܣܒܥܟ ܡܢ ܛܒ̈ܬܗ |
| 14 Whoever fears the Lord wil accept his correction; those who look for him wil win his favour. | 14 ܕܒ̇ܥܐ ܦܘܠܚܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܩ̇ܒܠ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܟܕ ܡܨܠܐ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܢܥܢܝܘܗܝ |
| 15 Whoever seeks the Law wil be nourished by it, the hypocrite will find it a stumbling-block. | |
| 16 Those who fear the Lord win his approval, their good deeds shining like a light. | 16 ܕܚ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܬܚܟܡܘܢ ܒܕ̈ܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܚܟܡܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܢ ܠܒܗܘܢ ܢܦܩܘܢ |
| 17 The sinner waves reproof aside, he finds an excuse for headstrong behaviour. | 17 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܥܪܝܡܐ ܡ̇ܛܫܐ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܥ̇ܒܕ ܐܘܪܚܗ |
| 18 A sensible person never scorns a warning; foreigners and the proud do not know about fear. | 18 ܒܪܢܫܐ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܠܐ ܫܒ̇ܩ ܚܟܡܬܐ ܟܕ ܡܟܣܝܐ ܘܥ̇ܘܠܐ ܠܐ ܢ̇ܛܪ ܠܫܢܗ |
| 19 Never act without reflection, and you wil not regret your actions. | 19 ܕܠܐ ܡ̣ܠܟܐ ܠܐ ܬܥܒܕ ܨܒܘ ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܥ̇ܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܟܪܐ ܠܟ |
| 20 Do not venture on a rough road, for fear of stumbling over the stones. | 20 ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܫܚܘܪܬܐ ܠܐ ܬܐܙܠ ܕܠܡܐ ܬܬܩܠ ܒܟܐܦܐ ܕܬܪ̈ܬܝܢ ܙܒ̈ܢܝܢ |
| 21 Do not be over-confident on an even road | 21 ܠܐ ܬܬܟܠ ܥܠ ܐܘܪܚܐ ܕܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܐ |
| 22 and beware of your own children. | 22 ܘܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܙܗܝܪ |
| 23 Watch yourself in everything you do; this is also the way to keep the commandments. | 23 ܒܟܠ ܥܒ̈ܕܝܟ ܛܪ ܢܦܫܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܢ̇ܛܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܗܘ |
| 24 Anyone who trusts in the Law obeys its precepts, no one who has confidence in the Lord wil come toharm. | 24 ܕܢ̇ܛܪ ܐܘܪܚܗ ܢ̇ܛܪ ܦܘܩܕܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܬܬܟܠ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܢܐܒܕ ܠܥܠܡ |
