Proverbs 7
1 My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
Mofavre'nimoke, Keni'a nentahinka, kasegeni'a eri kagu'afi antegeno raza segantena kva huo.
2 Obey my commands, and [as a result you will] live [a good life]. Consider the things that I teach you [to be very precious]; guard them, [just] like you protect your eyes.
Kasegeni'ama amage antesanana kagra kasefa hunka nemaninka, rempima hugamisua zana kavurgama kegava nehanankna hunka kegava huo.
3 Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
Kazeri kagesa hanigu rini kazampi antaniankna hunka kantu kagu'afi tumoka'are krento.
4 [Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family.
Knare antahintahigura nensaro'e nehunka, antahi amahu antahintahigura nenafu'e hunka huo.
5 If you are wise and if you understand what is wise [PRS], you will not [sleep with] an immoral woman; you will not listen to a woman who tries to entice you [to sleep with her] by what she says.
Ve'ama mani'nesia a'mo'ma kazeri savri'ma hu'zama nehinkeno'a, ana kemo'a kaza nehina rugazigati a'mo'ma kazeri savri hunaku'ma masavenkema nehanigeno'a, anankemo'a kagu'vazigahie.
6 One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
Mago zupa mani'ne'na noniamofona zaho eri kampinti negogeno,
7 I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
mago'a nehazave enevazafina kogeno amuno zamifina, mago nehaza ne'kanora, knare antahi'zama'a omane'nea ne' ke'noe.
8 He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
Agra monko'amofo nontava'onte vu'nea nonkaranka nevuno, ana a'mofo nonte vu'nea kampi ufreno vu'ne.
9 at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
Hanima huku'ma nehigeno hanimo'ma rentrako huzahifi anara hu'ne.
10 Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
Ana a'mo'ma kukenama hu'neana monko a'nemo'za nehazankna kukena hu'neno, ana ne'ma masavenkema asamino azeri savri'ma hanigura e'ne.
11 She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
Ana a'mo'a kehagra hagra nehuno, nontera manirava oheno kankekanke nehige'za, rama vahe'mo'za ke'za antahi'za hu'naza are.
12 She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
Ana a'mo'a hakarea zupa kampine, maketi kumapine, maka kaziga mani'neno vene'nema evazageno'a rezamaheno zamavazuma hanigu negea akino,
13 [When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
ana nehaza nera azeri anukiazamo antako hunenteno, avufga azeri oti'are avunutira negeno anage hu'ne,
14 “I have [some meat that is left over from] a sacrifice that I made today [to maintain fellowship with Yahweh]; I have fulfilled/done what I promised him that I would do.
Nagra menina narimpa fruma eri kresramana vugeno, huvempama hunte'noa kemo'a raga re'ne.
15 And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
Hu'negu kagriku hakare'na kagenaku oregati hago eme kage'na eri forehue.
16 I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
Isipi vahe'mokizmi pse'ane tavravereti mase tafera hunte'noe.
17 I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
Hago knare manama vuzantamina miama, aloima, sinamoninu mase tafepina rutri hu'na ahemna vunte'noe.
18 Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
Hagi egeta umaseneta, zokagora nereta musena nehanukeno ko'aturanteno.
19 My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
Nenave'a nontera omani'neanki, hago afete ka vu'ne.
20 He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
Zgomo'a ku'afina avite'negeno vu'neankino kora omegosianki ama ikamofona amu'nontega esia kante vu'ne.
21 [So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
Ana a'mo'a masavenkema asamino avresia nanekea, rama'a naneke asami'ne.
22 [And] he went with her immediately, like an ox that was going to where it would be slaughtered, or like a deer (OR, a fool) that is stepping into a noose/trap,
Ana ne'mo'a ame huno ve bulimakao afu aheku avazu hu'za nevazankna huno ana a'mofona avaririno vu'ne.
23 where it will remain/stay until someone shoots an arrow into its liver [and kills it]. [He was] like a bird that flew into a trap. He did not know that (it would cost him his life/he would die as a result).
Kevemo'ma tumo'ruragino ahesnia zankura agesa ana ne'mo'a nontahino, agra namamo hareno krifu anagintepi ufreankna nehuno, ahe frisia zankura nontahie.
24 My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
Hanki mofavre'nimote, tamagesa anteso'e hutma nanekeni'a antahiho,
25 Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
Atrenkeno tamagu'amo'a ana a'mofo kerera amagera ontege, kavareno agri kantera ovino.
26 She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
Na'ankure ana a'mo'a rama'a vene'ne zamazeri haviza nehuno, zamahe fri'ne.
