< Karin Magana 5 >
1 Ɗana, ka mai da hankali ga hikimata ka saurara da kyau ga kalmomin basirata,
My son, listen carefully to some [more] wise things that I will tell you. Listen well to what I am going to teach you.
2 don ka ci gaba da yin kome daidai leɓunanka za su adana sani.
If you do that, you will be able to choose wisely [what to do], and you will know [the right things] to say [MTY].
3 Gama leɓunan mazinaciya na ɗigan zuma, maganarta tana da sulɓi fiye da mai;
What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
4 amma a ƙarshe tana da ɗaci kamar tafashiya, mai ci kamar takobi mai kaifi biyu.
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.
5 Ƙafafunta na kaiwa ga mutuwa; sawunta na jagora kai tsaye zuwa kabari. (Sheol )
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 )
6 Ba ta wani tunanin rayuwa; hanyoyinta karkatacce ne, amma ba tă sani ba.
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].
7 Yanzu fa,’ya’yana, ku saurare ni; kada ku juye daga abin da nake faɗa.
So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.
8 Ku yi nesa da hanyarta, kana ku je kusa da ƙofar gidanta,
Run away from immoral women! Do not go near the doors of their houses!
9 don kada ku ba da ƙarfi mafi kyau ga waɗansu da kuma shekarunku ga wani marar imani,
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!
10 don kada baƙi su yi biki a kan dukiyarku wahalarku ta azurta gidan wani mutum dabam.
Foreigners will take your money, and [all] the good things that you have worked for will (end up in their hands/become their possessions).
11 A ƙarshen rayuwarku za ku yi ta nishi, sa’ad da namanku da jikinku suka zagwanye.
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.
12 Za ku ce, “Me ya sa na ƙi horo! Me ya sa zuciyata ta ƙi gyara!
Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
13 Ban yi biyayya da malamaina ba ko in saurari masu koyar da ni.
I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
14 Na zo gab da hallaka gaba ɗaya a tsakiyar dukan taron.”
[Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
15 Ku sha ruwa daga tankinku, ruwa mai gudu daga rijiyarku.
Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.
16 In maɓulɓulanku suka cika suna malala har waje, rafuffukan ruwanku a dandalin jama’a?
Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street, [you should not have sex with other women]. [MET, EUP]
17 Bari su zama naka kaɗai, don kada ka raba da baƙi.
Enjoy [having sex] only with your wife; do not [have sex with] other women.
18 Bari maɓulɓulanka ya zama mai albarka, bari kuma ka yi farin ciki da matar ƙuruciyarka.
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.
19 Ƙaunatacciyar mariri, barewa mai kyan gani, bari mamanta su ishe ka kullum, bari ƙaunarta ta ɗauke hankalinka kullum.
She is as pretty and graceful [as] a young female deer. Allow her breasts to always satisfy you. Allow her lovemaking to excite you.
20 Ɗana, me ya sa za ka bari mazinaciya ta ɗauke maka hankali? Don me za ka rungume matar wani?
My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
21 Gama hanyar mutum a bayyane take a gaban Ubangiji, yana kuma lura da dukan hanyoyinsa.
[I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
22 Ayyukan mugunta na mugun mutum tarko ne gare shi; igiyoyin zunubinsa za su daure shi kankan.
Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
23 Zai mutu saboda rashin ɗa’a yawan wawancinsa zai sa yă kauce.
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.
