Proverbs 7
1 My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Ɗana, ka kiyaye kalmomina ka kuma ajiye umarnaina a cikinka.
2 Keep my commandments, and live; and my teaching, as the apple of thine eye.
Ka kiyaye umarnaina za ka kuwa rayu; ka tsare koyarwata kamar ƙwayar idonka.
3 Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the tablet of thy heart.
Ka daure su a yatsotsinka; ka rubuta su a allon zuciyarka.
4 Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister, and call intelligence [thy] kinswoman:
Ka faɗa wa hikima, “Ke’yar’uwata ce,” ka kuma kira fahimi danginka;
5 that they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger who flattereth with her words.
za su kiyaye ka daga mazinaciya, daga mace marar aminci da kalmominta masu ɗaukan hankali.
6 For at the window of my house, I looked forth through my lattice,
A tagar gidana na leƙa ta labule mai rammuka.
7 and I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the sons, a young man void of understanding,
Sai na gani a cikin marasa azanci, na lura a cikin samari, wani matashi wanda ba shi da hankali.
8 passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
Yana gangarawa a titi kusa da kusurwarta, yana tafiya a gefen wajen gidanta
9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the blackness of night and the darkness.
da magariba, yayinda rana tana fāɗuwa, yayinda duhun dare yana farawa.
10 And behold, there met him a woman in the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart.
Sai ga mace ta fito don ta sadu da shi, saye da riga kamar karuwa shirye kuma don ta yaudare shi.
11 She is clamorous and unmanageable; her feet abide not in her house:
(Ba ta jin tsoro, ko kuma kunya, ƙafafunta ba sa zama a gida;
12 now without, now in the broadways, — and she lieth in wait at every corner.
wani lokaci a titi, wani lokaci a dandali, tana yawo a kowace kusurwa.)
13 And she caught him and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
Sai ta kama shi ta rungume shi da duban soyayya a fuskarta ta ce,
14 I have peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows:
“Ina da hadaya ta salama a gida; yau zan cika alkawarina.
15 therefore came I forth to meet thee, to seek earnestly thy face, and I have found thee.
Saboda haka na fito don in sadu da kai; na neme ka na kuma same ka!
16 I have decked my bed with tapestry coverlets of variegated linen from Egypt;
Na lulluɓe gadona da lili masu launi dabam-dabam daga Masar.
17 I have perfumed my couch with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Na yayyafa turare a gadona da mur, aloyes da kuma kirfa.
18 Come, let us revel in love until the morning, let us delight ourselves with loves.
Zo, mu sha zurfin ƙauna har safe; bari mu ji wa ranmu daɗi da ƙauna!
19 For the husband is not at home, he is gone a long journey;
Mijina ba ya gida; ya yi tafiya mai nisa.
20 he hath taken the money-bag with him, he will come home on the day of the full moon.
Ya ɗauki jakarsa cike da kuɗi ba zai kuwa dawo gida ba sai tsakiyar wata.”
21 With her much enticement she beguiled him; with the smoothness of her lips she constrained him.
Da kalmomin rarrashi ta sa ya kauce; ta ɗauki hankalinsa da sulɓin maganarta.
22 He went after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, and as stocks [serve] for the correction of the fool;
Nan take, ya bi ta kamar saniyar da za a kai mayanka, kamar wawa zuwa wurin da za a ba shi horo
23 till an arrow strike through his liver: as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for its life.
sai da kibiya ta soki hantarsa, kamar tsuntsun da ya ruga cikin tarko, ba tare da sani zai zama sanadin ransa ba.
24 And now, ye sons, hearken unto me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Yanzu fa,’ya’yana, ku saurare ni; ku kasa kunne ga abin da nake faɗa.
25 Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths:
Kada ku bar zuciyarku ta juya zuwa hanyoyinta ko ku kauce zuwa hanyoyinta.
26 for she hath cast down many wounded, and all slain by her were strong.
Ta zama sanadin fāɗuwar yawanci; kisan da ta yi ba ta ƙidayuwa.
