Proverbs 7
1 My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
Wiilkaygiiyow, erayadayda xaji, Oo amarradaydana xaggaaga ku kaydso.
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.
Amarradayda xaji aad noolaatide, Oo sharcigaygana sida ishaada inankeeda u dhawr.
3 Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
Farahaaga ku xidho, Oo looxa qalbigaagana ku qoro.
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.
Waxaad xigmadda ku tidhaahdaa, Adigu waxaad tahay walaashay, Oo waxgarashadana waxaad ugu yeedhaa, saaxiibadday gacalisoy,
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.
Si ay iyagu kaaga celiyaan naagta qalaad, Taasoo erayadeeda kugu sasabata.
6 One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
Waayo, anigoo jooga daaqadda gurigayga Ayaan shabagga daaqadda wax ka fiiriyey,
7 I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
Oo kuwa garaadka daran ayaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan barbaarrada ku dhex arkay Nin dhallinyaraa oo aan innaba waxgarasho lahayn,
8 He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
Isagoo maraya dariiqa xaafaddeeda u dhow, Oo wuxuu raacay jidkii gurigeeda,
9 at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
Oo waxay ahayd gabbaldhac oo makhribka ah, markii habeenkii madoobaanayay oo gudcur noqonayay.
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.
Oo bal eeg, waxaa isagii ka hor timid naag Sidii dhillo u lebbisan, oo qalbigeedu khiyaano miidhan yahay.
11 She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
Iyadu waa rabshad badan tahay, waana caasiyad, Oo gurigeeda cag sooma dhigto.
12 She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
Mar dibadday joogtaa, marna dariiqyaday maraysaa, Oo rukun kasta wax bay ku sugtaa.
13 [When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
Haddaba isagii way qabsatay, oo dhunkatay; Iyadoo aan wejigeedu xishood lahayn ayay waxay isagii ku tidhi,
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.
Anigu waxaan hayaa allabaryo nabdeed, Oo maanta ayaan nidarradaydii bixiyey.
15 And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
Haddaba waxaan u soo baxay inaan kula kulmo, Oo aan aad iyo aad wejigaaga u doondoono, waanan ku helay.
16 I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
Sariirtaydii waxaan ku goglay durraaxado daabac leh, Iyo marooyin duntii Masar laga sameeyey.
17 I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
Waxaan sariirtaydii ku cadariyey Malmal iyo cuud iyo qorfe.
18 Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
Kaalay, oo aan caashaq ka dheregno ilaa aroorta, Oo aynu jacayl ku faraxsanaanno.
19 My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
Waayo, ninkaygii guriga ma joogo, Oo meel fog buu u sodcaalay,
20 He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
Kiish lacag ahna wuu qaatay, Oo wuxuu guriga ku soo noqon doonaa markuu dayaxu caddaado.
21 [So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
Hadalkeedii badnaa oo macaanaa ayay isagii isku yeelsiisay, Oo waxay isagii ku qasabtay faankii beenta ahaa oo bushimeheeda.
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,
Oo haddiiba iyadii buu daba galay, Sidii dibi loo wado in la gowraco, Ama sidii nacas loo wado in silsilado lagu jebiyo,
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).
Jeer fallaadh beerka lagaga wareemo, Sida shimbiru dabinka degdeg ku gasho, Iyadoo aan ogayn in loo dhigay si nafteeda loo qaado.
24 My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, wiilashoy, bal i maqla, Oo erayada afkayga dhegaysta.
25 Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
Qalbigiinnu yaanu jidadkeeda u leexan, Oo waddooyinkeedana ha ku dhex habaabina.
26 She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
Waayo, iyadu waxay ridday kuwa badan oo dhaawacan, Sida xaqiiqada kuway laysay aad bay u badan yihiin.
