but the result [of being with her] will be bitter like gall and [injure you as badly], like being cut with a sharp two-edged sword.

She is not concerned about the roads that lead to a [long] life. She walks [down] a crooked path, and she does not realize [that she is on the wrong road].
7 Nagofe! Dilia waha na sia: nabima! Amola mae gogolema na sia: be amo.
So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.

If you enter the home of one of them, you will lose your (self-respect/good reputation) and [that woman’s husband] will not act mercifully toward you; he will [kill you and] take everything that you have acquired during your life!
10 Dafawane! Eno dunu da misini dia liligi ilia gaguli masunu amola dia hawa: hamoi helei liligi amo enoga lamu.
Foreigners will take your money, and [all] the good things that you have worked for will (end up in their hands/become their possessions).

And when you are about to die, you will groan [with severe pain] because diseases [that you have gotten from being immoral] will be destroying your body.
12 Amola di da amane sia: mu, “Na da abuliga dawa: bela: ? Amola na da abuliga eno dunu ilia mololesibi amo hame nabibala: ?
Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
13 Amola na da nabimu galu, be na olelesu dunu ilia sia: hame nabi.
I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
14 Amasea, na da dunu eno ilia si da: iya gogosia: i bagade hamoi dagoi ba: i.
[Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
15 Amaiba: le noga: le dawa: ma! Dia udadafa ema dafawaneyale dawa: ma. Ema fawane asigima.
Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.

My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
21 Amola liligi dia adi hamobe huluane da Gode E ba: lala. Amola di habi ahoasea, E da eso huluane ba: lala.
[I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
22 Wadela: le hamosu dunu ea hou da ema sani agoaiwane. E da hi wadela: i hou sani agoane amo ganodini daha.
Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
