Malasu 7
1 Nagofe! Dawa: ma na adi sia: be di mae gogolema amola na dima hamoma: ne sia: be maedafa gogolema!
My son, guard my words and conceal my precepts 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.
Son, preserve my commandments, and you shall live. And keep my law as the pupil of your eye.
3 Na olelebe liligi eso huluane dawa: laloma amola fedege agoane, dia dogoga noga: le dedema.
Bind it with your fingers; write it on the tablets 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 prudence your friend.
5 Ilia da dia hou huluane ouligili, di da inia uda amoma hobeamu amola ea sefe sia: amo hame nabimu.
So may she guard you from the woman who is an outsider, and from the stranger who sweetens her words.
6 Eso afaega na da na diasu fo misa: ne agenesi amoga ba: lalu.
For I gaze from the window of my house, 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.
and I see little ones. I consider a frenzied youth,
8 Amo goi da uda afadafa ea diasu gadenene misini,
who crosses the street at the corner and close to the way of that house.
9 eso amola sa: i dagoi gadenene gasi dagoi.
He steps into shadows, as day becomes evening, into the darkness and gloom 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.
And behold, a woman meets him, dressed like a harlot, prepared to captivate souls: chattering and rambling,
11 Goe uda amo da gasa fi hamosu uda amola gogosiasu hame dawa: i. E da moilai logoga lalusu.
unwilling to bear silence, unable to keep her feet at home,
12 E da logoga udigili lalu amola bidi lama: ne diasu labe soge ganodini amola dunu hogosa lalala.
now outside, now in the streets, now lying in ambush near the corners.
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,
And overtaking the youth, she kisses him, and with a provocative face, she flatters him, saying:
14 “Wali na da gobele salasu hamoi amola amo gobele salasu hu da na diasuga diala.
“I vowed sacrifices for well-being. Today I have repaid my vows.
15 Amaiba: le na da na diasu yolesili di hogola misi amola wali na da di ba: i dagoi.
Because of this, I have gone out to meet you, desiring to see 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 woven my bed with cords. I have strewn it with embroidered tapestries 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 sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloe, and cinnamon.
18 Misa! Na amola di gilisili hedelala soge hadigimu. Ani da gilisili nonogomuba: le hahawane bagade ba: mu.
Come, let us be inebriated in abundance, and let us delight in the embraces of desire, until the day begins to dawn.
19 Di da na dunuba: le mae beda: ma. E da soge sedaga asi esala.
For my husband is not in his house. He has gone away on a very 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. He will return to his house on the day of the full moon.”
21 Goe uda ea sefe sia: bagadewane sia: beba: le, goi ayeligi da dafai dagoi.
She enmeshed him with many words, and she drew him forward with the flattery of her lips.
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.
Immediately, he follows her, like an ox being led to the sacrifice, and like a lamb acting lasciviously, and not knowing that he is being drawn foolishly into chains,
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 the arrow pierces his liver. It is just as if a bird were to hurry into the snare. And he does not know that his actions endanger his own soul.
24 Wali na gofelali, dilia na sia: noga: le nabima. Noga: le dawa: ma!
Therefore, my son, hear me now, 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 mind be pulled into her ways. And do not be deceived by 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 tossed aside many wounded, and some of those who were very strong have been slain by her.
