Malasu 7
1 Nagofe! Dawa: ma na adi sia: be di mae gogolema amola na dima hamoma: ne sia: be maedafa gogolema!
My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.
2 Na sia: be amo defele hamoma, amasea di da esalumu. Amola di da dia si noga: le ouligibi defele, na olelebe amo noga: le fa: no bobogema.
Keep my commandments and live; guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Na olelebe liligi eso huluane dawa: laloma amola fedege agoane, dia dogoga noga: le dedema.
Tie them to your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Di Bagade Dawa: su Hou amoma hou dia dalusi amoma hamobe defele hamoma amola dawa: su dia dogo ganodini diala amo dia na: iyado ema hamobe defele hamoma.
Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” and call understanding your kinsman,
5 Ilia da dia hou huluane ouligili, di da inia uda amoma hobeamu amola ea sefe sia: amo hame nabimu.
that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.
6 Eso afaega na da na diasu fo misa: ne agenesi amoga ba: lalu.
For at the window of my house I looked through the lattice.
7 Amola na ba: loba goi logoga manebe ba: i. Ilia da asigi dawa: su noga: i hame galu amola afadafa da gagaoui dunu agoai ba: i.
I saw among the simple, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking judgment,
8 Amo goi da uda afadafa ea diasu gadenene misini,
crossing the street near her corner, strolling down the road to her house,
9 eso amola sa: i dagoi gadenene gasi dagoi.
at twilight, as the day was fading into the dark of the night.
10 Amo uda e da hina: da: i bidi lasu uda defele abula ida: iwane ga: i amola e da hou ilegelalu.
Then a woman came out to meet him, with the attire of a harlot and cunning of heart.
11 Goe uda amo da gasa fi hamosu uda amola gogosiasu hame dawa: i. E da moilai logoga lalusu.
She is loud and defiant; her feet do not remain at home.
12 E da logoga udigili lalu amola bidi lama: ne diasu labe soge ganodini amola dunu hogosa lalala.
Now in the street, now in the squares, she lurks at every corner.
13 Amola na ba: i, amalalu amo uda e da goi ayeligi amo ea galogoa amoga ea lobo la: boloi dagoi amo lalu e da amo goi nonogonanu e hedolowane si damana ba: i amalalu e amane sia: i,
She seizes him and kisses him; she brazenly says to him:
14 “Wali na da gobele salasu hamoi amola amo gobele salasu hu da na diasuga diala.
“I have made my peace offerings; today I have paid my vows.
15 Amaiba: le na da na diasu yolesili di hogola misi amola wali na da di ba: i dagoi.
So I came out to meet you; I sought you, and I have found you.
16 Na da hedolowane midunusa: diaheda: su ida: iwane hahamoi dagoi amo dedebosu abula ida: iwane gala amo da na Idibidi soge amoga gaguli misi.
I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linen from Egypt.
17 Na da amo ganodini manoma ida: iwane gala amo me, a:lou, sinamone amola amo manoma gabusiga: ida: iwane gala fafai da: iya sogadigi.
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.
18 Misa! Na amola di gilisili hedelala soge hadigimu. Ani da gilisili nonogomuba: le hahawane bagade ba: mu.
Come, let us take our fill of love till morning. Let us delight in loving caresses!
19 Di da na dunuba: le mae beda: ma. E da soge sedaga asi esala.
For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey.
20 E da su bagade gaguli asi. E da hedolo hame bu misunu. E da esala hi aduna aligimu.”
He took with him a bag of money and will not return till the moon is full.”
21 Goe uda ea sefe sia: bagadewane sia: beba: le, goi ayeligi da dafai dagoi.
With her great persuasion she entices him; with her flattering lips she lures him.
22 Amo dunu e da amo sia: nababeba: le, e da hedolowane amo uda fa: no bobogele diasuga asi. Fedege sia: e da bulamagau bogoma: ne fasu sogebi amoga oule ahoasu defele asi. Fedege sia: eno e da ‘dia’ ohe amo da sani sa: ima: ne hahawane ahoa amo defele asi.
He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap,
23 Amo ‘dia’ ohe e da hame dawa: i ea dogo ganodini souga gala: be defele e da bogomu da hame dawa: i. Amo dunu ea hamobe da sio afae e hagili ahoanebe defele ba: i. Amo sio e da segega: i amo mae ba: le ahoabe amola sio e amo segega: i amo hame dawa: i amoga gaguli bogomu amo hame dawa: i.
until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare— not knowing it will cost him his life.
24 Wali na gofelali, dilia na sia: noga: le nabima. Noga: le dawa: ma!
Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25 Agoaiwane uda amo ea sefe sia: mae nabima! Ema mae fa: no bobogema!
Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths.
26 Amo uda e da dunu bagohame ilia hou wadela: lesi dagoi. Amola dunu bagohame idimu hame gala, ilia da ea hou hamobeba: le bogoi dagoi.
For she has brought many down to death; her slain are many in number.
