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.
O anake, tsendreño ty hihiko; atokilaño mb’am-pahilalako ty sofi’o,
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].
hifejaña’o ty filie-batañe, naho hañaja hilala o soñi’oo.
3 What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
Mitsopa-tantele ty soñin-tsimirirañe, vaho malama te amo solikeo ty vava’e;
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.
f’ie mafaitse te amo vahon-tsoiñeo am-para’e, masioñe hoe fibara sambe-lela’e.
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)
Mizotso mb’am-pikoromaham-beo o tombo’eo, mitalifitse mb’an-tsikeokeok’ ao ty lia’e. (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].
Tsy haraharae’e i lalan-kaveloñey; mihelahela o lala’eo, fe amoea’e.
7 So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.
Aa le mitsanoña ahy henaneo ry anake, vaho ko mivike amo entam-bavakoo.
8 Run away from immoral women! Do not go near the doors of their houses!
Ahankaño lavits’ aze ty lala’o, vaho ko itotofa’o ty sariran-akiba’e;
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!
tsy mone hatolo’o ami’ty ila’e ty enge’o, naho o tao’oo amy mifajifajiy,
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).
mbore hampiboboke ty ambahiny ty haozara’o, vaho mb’añ’akiba’ ty alik’ama’o o nimokora’oo;
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.
Hiñeoñeon-drehe añ’andron-kònka’o, ie mihomake ty nofo’o naho ty sandri’o,
12 Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
ami’ty hoe: Akore te nalaim-pandilovan-draho, naho niheje’ ty troko o endakeo!
13 I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
Tsy nitsendreñeko ty fiarañanaña’ o mpañanakoo, tsy nanokilañako sofiñe o mpañoke ahikoo.
14 [Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
Fa an-titotse ho nianto iraho, añivo’ ty fivory naho i valobohòkey.
15 Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.
Minoma rano an-kadaha’o avao rano midoañe boak’an-tatefatse’o ao.
16 Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street, [you should not have sex with other women]. [MET, EUP]
Hienene mb’an-dalambey mb’eo hao ty rano’o migoangoañeo? rano hitsiritsiok’ an-damoke eo?
17 Enjoy [having sex] only with your wife; do not [have sex with] other women.
Ehe t’ie azo, fa ko andiva’o ami’ty ambahiny.
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.
Ho soa-tata ty fipotitiaha’o, vaho irebeho ty valin-katora’o.
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.
Hirañe mikoko re, renen-kira maintelèñe— hampaheneñe azo nainai’e o fatroa’eo, i fikokoa’ey avao ty hilosora’o.
20 My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
Akore, anake, t’ie tsepahe’ ty karapilo? naho fihine’ ty arañan’ ambahiny?
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.
Sindre añatrefam-pihaino’ Iehovà o lala’ ondatio, Songa tsikarahe’e o lalan-tsile’eo.
22 Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
Ho fandrihe’ ty hatsivokara’e ty lo-tsereke, vaho hamihiñe aze am-bahotse o hakeo’eo.
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.
Hikenkan-dre fa po-hilala, ty halosoran-kagegea’e ty hampivike aze.
