Proverbs 5
1 My son, listen carefully to some [more] wise things that I will tell you. Listen well to what I am going to teach you.
Hai anakku, perhatikanlah hikmatku, arahkanlah telingamu kepada kepandaian yang kuajarkan,
2 If you do that, you will be able to choose wisely [what to do], and you will know [the right things] to say [MTY].
supaya engkau berpegang pada kebijaksanaan dan bibirmu memelihara pengetahuan.
3 What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
Karena bibir perempuan jalang menitikkan tetesan madu dan langit-langit mulutnya lebih licin dari pada minyak,
4 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.
tetapi kemudian ia pahit seperti empedu, dan tajam seperti pedang bermata dua.
5 If you go where she goes [MTY], you will go down to where the dead people are. Her steps will lead you straight to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
Kakinya turun menuju maut, langkahnya menuju dunia orang mati. (Sheol h7585)
6 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].
Ia tidak menempuh jalan kehidupan, jalannya sesat, tanpa diketahuinya.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.
Sebab itu, hai anak-anak, dengarkanlah aku, janganlah kamu menyimpang dari pada perkataan mulutku.
8 Run away from immoral women! Do not go near the doors of their houses!
Jauhkanlah jalanmu dari pada dia, dan janganlah menghampiri pintu rumahnya,
9 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!
supaya engkau jangan menyerahkan keremajaanmu kepada orang lain, dan tahun-tahun umurmu kepada orang kejam;
10 Foreigners will take your money, and [all] the good things that you have worked for will (end up in their hands/become their possessions).
supaya orang lain jangan mengenyangkan diri dengan kekayaanmu, dan hasil susah payahmu jangan masuk ke rumah orang yang tidak dikenal
11 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.
dan pada akhirnya engkau akan mengeluh, kalau daging dan tubuhmu habis binasa,
12 Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
lalu engkau akan berkata: "Ah, mengapa aku benci kepada didikan, dan hatiku menolak teguran;
13 I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
mengapa aku tidak mendengarkan suara guru-guruku, dan tidak mengarahkan telingaku kepada pengajar-pengajarku?
14 [Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
Aku nyaris terjerumus ke dalam tiap malapetaka di tengah-tengah jemaah dan perkumpulan."
15 Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.
Minumlah air dari kulahmu sendiri, minumlah air dari sumurmu yang membual.
16 Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street, [you should not have sex with other women]. [MET, EUP]
Patutkah mata airmu meluap ke luar seperti batang-batang air ke lapangan-lapangan?
17 Enjoy [having sex] only with your wife; do not [have sex with] other women.
Biarlah itu menjadi kepunyaanmu sendiri, jangan juga menjadi kepunyaan orang lain.
18 Let your wife be a source of great pleasure to you. (Be happy/[Enjoy sex]) with the woman whom you married when you were both young.
Diberkatilah kiranya sendangmu, bersukacitalah dengan isteri masa mudamu:
19 She is as pretty and graceful [as] a young female deer. Allow her breasts to always satisfy you. Allow her lovemaking to excite you.
rusa yang manis, kijang yang jelita; biarlah buah dadanya selalu memuaskan engkau, dan engkau senantiasa berahi karena cintanya.
20 My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
Hai anakku, mengapa engkau berahi akan perempuan jalang, dan mendekap dada perempuan asing?
21 [I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
Karena segala jalan orang terbuka di depan mata TUHAN, dan segala langkah orang diawasi-Nya.
22 Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
Orang fasik tertangkap dalam kejahatannya, dan terjerat dalam tali dosanya sendiri.
23 Evil men [will] die because they are unable to say “No” to their desires; they [will] (go astray/be lost) because of the foolish things that they do.
Ia mati, karena tidak menerima didikan dan karena kebodohannya yang besar ia tersesat.
