1:1 ⧉ ⤴︎ Ἀγαπήσατε δικαιοσύνην οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν φρονήσατε περὶ τοῦ κυρίου ἐν ἀγαθότητι καὶ ἐν ἁπλότητι καρδίας ζητήσατε αὐτόν
Diligite justitiam , qui judicatis terram . Sentite de Domino in bonitate , et in simplicitate cordis quærite illum :
አፍቅርዋ ፡ ለጥበብ ፡ አመኳንንተ ፡ ምድር ፡ ወሐልዩ ፡ ኃይለ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ በአእምሮ ፡ ሠናይ ፡ ወበስፉሕ ፡ ልብ ፡ ኅሥዎ ።
Love righteousness, you⌃ that be judges of the earth, Think you⌃ of the Lord with a good mind, And in singleness of heart seek you⌃ him;
1:2 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι εὑρίσκεται τοῖς μὴ πειράζουσιν αὐτόν ἐμφανίζεται δὲ τοῖς μὴ ἀπιστοῦσιν αὐτῷ
quoniam invenitur ab his qui non tentant illum , apparet autem eis qui fidem habent in illum .
እስመ ፡ ውእቱ ፡ ይረትከብ ፡ በኀበ ፡ እለ ፡ ኢያሜክርዎ ፡ ወያስተርኢ ፡ በኀበ ፡ እለ ፡ ኢይክሕድዎ ።
Because he is found of those who tempt him not, And is manifested to those who do not distrust him.
1:3 ⧉ ⤴︎ σκολιοὶ γὰρ λογισμοὶ χωρίζουσιν ἀπὸ θεοῦ δοκιμαζομένη τε ἡ δύναμις ἐλέγχει τοὺς ἄφρονας
Perversæ enim cogitationes separant a Deo ; probata autem virtus corripit insipientes .
እስመ ፡ ጠዋይ ፡ ሕሊና ፡ ያርኅቅ ፡ እምእግዚአብሔር ፡ ኃይል ፡ ፍትንት ፡ ትዘልፎሙ ፡ ለዓብዳን ።
For crooked thoughts separate from God; And the supreme Power, when it is brought to the proof, puts to confusion the foolish:
1:4 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι εἰς κακότεχνον ψυχὴν οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται σοφία οὐδὲ κατοικήσει ἐν σώματι κατάχρεῳ ἁμαρτίας
Quoniam in malevolam animam non introibit sapientia , nec habitabit in corpore subdito peccatis .
እስመ ፡ ውእተ ፡ ምይንት ፡ ነፍስ ፡ ኢትበውእ ፡ ጥበብ ፡ ወኢተኃድር ፡ ውስተ ፡ ሥጋ ፡ ዘቅኑይ ፡ ለኃጢአት ።
Because wisdom will not enter into a soul that deviseth evil, Nor dwell in a body that is held in pledge by sin.
1:5 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἅγιον γὰρ πνεῦμα παιδείας φεύξεται δόλον καὶ ἀπαναστήσεται ἀπὸ λογισμῶν ἀσυνέτων καὶ ἐλεγχθήσεται ἐπελθούσης ἀδικίας
Spiritus enim sanctus disciplinæ effugiet fictum , et auferet se a cogitationibus quæ sunt sine intellectu , et corripietur a superveniente iniquitate .
እስመ ፡ መንፈሰ ፡ ተግሣፅ ፡ ቅዱስ ፡ ያጐይይ ፡ ትምህርተ ፡ ዘእኩይ ፡ ወይትነሣእ ፡ በመዊዕ ፡ እምሕሊናሆሙ ፡ ለዐብዳን ፡ ወይዘልፍ ፡ እኩየ ፡ ሶበ ፡ ይመጽእ ።
For a holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit. And will start away from thoughts that are without understanding, And will be put to confusion when unrighteousness has come in.
1:6 ⧉ ⤴︎ φιλάνθρωπον γὰρ πνεῦμα σοφία καὶ οὐκ ἀθῳώσει βλάσφημον ἀπὸ χειλέων αὐτοῦ ὅτι τῶν νεφρῶν αὐτοῦ μάρτυς ὁ θεὸς καὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ ἐπίσκοπος ἀληθὴς καὶ τῆς γλώσσης ἀκουστής
Benignus est enim spiritus sapientiæ , et non liberabit maledicum a labiis suis : quoniam renum illius testis est Deus , et cordis illius scrutator est verus , et linguæ ejus auditor .
እስመ ፡ መፍቀሬ ፡ ሰብእ ፡ መንፈሰ ፡ ጥበብ ፡ ወኢያነጽሕ ፡ ዐራፌ ፡ እምከናፍሪሁ ፡ እስመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ስምዕ ፡ ላዕለ ፡ ኵልያቲሁ ፡ ወሐዋፂ ፡ ህልው ፡ ይሔውጽ ፡ ልቦ ፡ ወልሳኖ ፡ ሰማዒ ።
For wisdom is a spirit that loves man, And she will not hold a blasphemer guiltless for his lips; Because God bears witness of his reins, And is a true overseer of his heart, And a hearer of his tongue:
1:7 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι πνεῦμα κυρίου πεπλήρωκεν τὴν οἰκουμένην καὶ τὸ συνέχον τὰ πάντα γνῶσιν ἔχει φωνῆς
Quoniam spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum , et hoc quod continet omnia , scientiam habet vocis .
እስመ ፡ መንፈስ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ መልአ ፡ ዓለመ ፡ ወዘይእኅዝ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ዓለም ፡ ያገምር ፡ አእምሮ ፡ ቃሎሙ ።
Because the spirit of the Lord has filled the world, And that which holds all things together has knowledge of every voice.
1:8 ⧉ ⤴︎ διὰ τοῦτο φθεγγόμενος ἄδικα οὐδεὶς μὴ λάθῃ οὐδὲ μὴ παροδεύσῃ αὐτὸν ἐλέγχουσα ἡ δίκη
Propter hoc qui loquitur iniqua non potest latere , nec præteriet illum corripiens judicium .
ወበእንተዝ ፡ ዝንቱ ፡ ኢይትኀባእ ፡ እምኔሁ ፡ ወኢምንትኒ ፡ እምዘ ፡ ይትነገር ፡ ቃለ ፡ ዓመፃ ።
Therefore no man that utters unrighteous things will be unseen; Neither will Justice, when it convicts, pass him by.
1:9 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἐν γὰρ διαβουλίοις ἀσεβοῦς ἐξέτασις ἔσται λόγων δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀκοὴ πρὸς κύριον ἥξει εἰς ἔλεγχον ἀνομημάτων αὐτοῦ
In cogitationibus enim impii interrogatio erit ; sermonum autem illius auditio ad Deum veniet , ad correptionem iniquitatum illius .
እስመ ፡ ኢይትዓደዎ ፡ ኵነኔሁ ፡ በከሢተ ፡ ግብሩ ፡ እስመ ፡ ለረሲዓን ፡ የሐትቶሙ ፡ በምክረ ፡ ሐሊናሆሙ ፡ ድምፀ ፡ ንባቦሙ ፡ ይበጽሕ ፡ ኀበ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ለዝልፈተ ፡ አበሳሆሙ ።
For in the midst of his counsels the ungodly will be searched out; And the sound of his words will come to the Lord To bring to conviction his lawless deeds:
1:10 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι οὖς ζηλώσεως ἀκροᾶται τὰ πάντα καὶ θροῦς γογγυσμῶν οὐκ ἀποκρύπτεται
Quoniam auris zeli audit omnia , et tumultus murmurationum non abscondetur .
እስመ ፡ አኮ ፡ እንበይነ ፡ ቅንአት ፡ ዘይሰምዕ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ ግብረ ፡ ወድምፀ ፡ ነጐርጓር ፡ ኢትኀባእ ፡ እምኔሁ ።
Because there is an ear of jealousy that listens to all things, And the noise of murmurings is not hid.
1:11 ⧉ ⤴︎ φυλάξασθε τοίνυν γογγυσμὸν ἀνωφελῆ καὶ ἀπὸ καταλαλιᾶς φείσασθε γλώσσης ὅτι φθέγμα λαθραῖον κενὸν οὐ πορεύσεται στόμα δὲ καταψευδόμενον ἀναιρεῖ ψυχήν
Custodite ergo vos a murmuratione quæ nihil prodest , et a detractione parcite linguæ : quoniam sermo obscurus in vacuum non ibit , os autem quod mentitur occidit animam .
ተዓቀቡኬ ፡ እምነጐርጓር ፡ ዘኢይበቊዕ ፡ ወእምኀሜት ፡ ባልሑ ፡ ልሳነክሙ ፡ እስመ ፡ ነገር ፡ ዘበጽሚት ፡ በከ ፡ ኢይመጽእ ፡ ወአፍ ፡ ዘይጤቅል ፡ ወይሔሱ ፡ ይቀትል ፡ ነፍሰ ።
Beware then of unprofitable murmuring, And refrain your tongue from backbiting; Because no secret utterance will go on its way void, And a mouth that belies destroys a soul.
1:12 ⧉ ⤴︎ μὴ ζηλοῦτε θάνατον ἐν πλάνῃ ζωῆς ὑμῶν μηδὲ ἐπισπᾶσθε ὄλεθρον ἐν ἔργοις χειρῶν ὑμῶν
Nolite zelare mortem in errore vitæ vestræ , neque acquiratis perditionem in operibus manuum vestrarum .
ባልሑ ፡ ልሳነክሙ ፡ ወኢትቅንኡ ፡ ለመዊት ፡ በስሕተተ ፡ ሕይወትክሙ ፡ ወኢትንሥኡ ፡ ሥራዌ ፡ በግብረ ፡ እደዊክሙ ።
Court not death in the error of your life; Neither draw upon yourselves destruction by the works of your hands:
1:13 ⧉ ⤴︎ ὅτι ὁ θεὸς θάνατον οὐκ ἐποίησεν οὐδὲ τέρπεται ἐπ’ ἀπωλείᾳ ζώντων
Quoniam Deus mortem non fecit , nec lætatur in perditione vivorum .
እስመ ፡ እግዚአብሔር ፡ ኢገብረ ፡ ሞተ ፡ ወኢያስተዔድሞ ፡ ሐጒሎሙ ፡ ለሕያዋን ፡ እስመ ፡ ፈጠረ ፡ ፍጥረተ ፡ ይኩን ፡ ህልወ ፡ ወልደተ ፡ ዓለም ፡ ለድኂን ።
Because God made not death; Neither delights he when the living perish:
1:14 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἔκτισεν γὰρ εἰς τὸ εἶναι τὰ πάντα καὶ σωτήριοι αἱ γενέσεις τοῦ κόσμου καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐν αὐταῖς φάρμακον ὀλέθρου οὔτε ᾅδου βασίλειον ἐπὶ γῆς
Creavit enim ut essent omnia , et sanabiles fecit nationes orbis terrarum : et non est in illis medicamentum exterminii , nec inferorum regnum in terra .
ወአልቦ ፡ እምውስቴቶሙ ፡ ኅምዘ ፡ ሥራይ ፡ ዘአማስኖ ፡ ወለሲኦልኒ ፡ አልቦቱ ፡ መንግሥት ፡ በዲበ ፡ ምድር ፡ እስመ ፡ ጽድቅ ፡ ኢመዋቲት ፡ ይእቲ ።
For he created all things that they might have being: And the generative powers of the world are healthsome, And there is no poison of destruction in them: Nor has Hades royal dominion upon earth,
1:15 ⧉ ⤴︎ δικαιοσύνη γὰρ ἀθάνατός ἐστιν
Justitia enim perpetua est , et immortalis .
ወረሲዓንሰ ፡ በእደዊሆሙ ፡ ወበቃሎሙ ፡ ጸውዕዎ ፡ ወዓርከ ፡ አምሰልዎ ፡ ወተመስዉ ፡ ቦቱ ።
For righteousness is immortal:
1:16 ⧉ ⤴︎ ἀσεβεῖς δὲ ταῖς χερσὶν καὶ τοῖς λόγοις προσεκαλέσαντο αὐτόν φίλον ἡγησάμενοι αὐτὸν ἐτάκησαν καὶ συνθήκην ἔθεντο πρὸς αὐτόν ὅτι ἄξιοί εἰσιν τῆς ἐκείνου μερίδος εἶναι
Impii autem manibus et verbis accersierunt illam , et æstimantes illam amicam , defluxerunt ; et sponsiones posuerunt ad illam , quoniam digni sunt qui sint ex parte illius .
ወኪዳነ ፡ ተካየዱ ፡ ምስሌሁ ፡ እስመ ፡ ይደልዎሙ ፡ መክፈልተ ፡ ዚአሁ ፡ ከዊን ።
But ungodly men by their hands and their words called death to them: Deeming him a friend they consumed away, And they made a covenant with him, Because they are worthy to be of his portion.
