The Preamble in other languages

I got a bit bored earlier today so I looked up the Preamble to the US Constitution in other languages;

Italian
Noi, il popolo degli Stati Uniti, al fine di perfezionare la nostra Unione, garantire la giustizia, assicurare la tranquillità all'interno, provvedere alla difesa comune, promuovere il benessere generale, salvaguardare per noi e per i nostri posteri il bene della libertà, poniamo in essere questa Costituzione quale ordinamento per gli Stati Uniti d'America.

German
Wir, das Volk der Vereinigten Staaten, von der Absicht geleitet, unseren Bund zu vervollkommnen, die Gerechtigkeit zu verwirklichen, die Ruhe im Innern zu sichern, für die Landesverteidigung zu sorgen, das allgemeine Wohl zu fördern und das Glück der Freiheit uns selbst und unseren Nachkommen zu bewahren, setzen und begründen diese Verfassung für die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika.

French
Nous, Peuple des États-Unis, en vue de former une Union plus parfaite, d'établir la justice, de faire régner la paix intérieure, de pourvoir à la défense commune, de développer le bien-être général et d'assurer les bienfaits de la liberté à nous-mêmes et à notre postérité, nous décrétons et établissons cette Constitution pour les États-Unis d'Amérique.

Spanish
NOSOTROS, EL PUEBLO de los Estados Unidos, a fin de formar una Unión más perfecta, establecer la Justicia, garantizar la tranquilidad nacional, tender a la defensa común, fomentar el bienestar general y asegurar los beneficios de la Libertad para nosotros y para nuestra posterioridad, por la presente promulgamos y establecemos esta Constitución para los Estados Unidos de América.

Ukrainian
Ми, народ Сполучених Штатів, щоб створити досконаліший союз, установити правосуддя, забезпечити внутрішній спокій, запровадити спільну оборону, сприяти загальному добробуту та убезпечити нам самим і нашим нащадкам блага свободи - видаємо і встановлюємо цю Конституцію для Сполучених Штатів Америки.

Greek
???ί?, ? ??ό? ??? ????έ??? ???????ώ?, ??? ?? ????????ή????? ??ά ?????ό???? έ????, ?? ????????ύ????? ???????ύ??, ?? ???????ί????? ????ί? ??? ????????ό, ?? ???ά?????? ??? ??? ????ή ??? ά????, ?? ?????ή????? ??? ?????ή ??????ί? ??? ?? ???????ί????? ??? ?????ί?? ??? ???????ί?? ??? ??ά? ??? ???? ????ό???? ???, ??ί????? ??? ?????????ύ?? ???ό ?? ?ύ?????? ??? ????έ??? ???????ώ? ??? ??????ή?.

And for reference;

English
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

too damned bad that none of the people who preach the constitution, and think that government should do not good, and cost them nothing can ever manage to read this Preamble. If the constitution fails by its own measure it fails. I did not set the goals for their government. They set the goals; and yet the goals are still valid and good. We should trash every thing that follows after the preamble, and all the supreme court findings as well, and write a new constitution and form a new government in order to meet those worthy goals.
Who is with me? Hands?
