10 Sai ga mace ta fito don ta sadu da shi, saye da riga kamar karuwa shirye kuma don ta yaudare shi.
Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.

She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
12 wani lokaci a titi, wani lokaci a dandali, tana yawo a kowace kusurwa.)
She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
13 Sai ta kama shi ta rungume shi da duban soyayya a fuskarta ta ce,
[When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
14 “Ina da hadaya ta salama a gida; yau zan cika alkawarina.
“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.

[So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
22 Nan take, ya bi ta kamar saniyar da za a kai mayanka, kamar wawa zuwa wurin da za a ba shi horo
[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,
23 sai da kibiya ta soki hantarsa, kamar tsuntsun da ya ruga cikin tarko, ba tare da sani zai zama sanadin ransa ba.
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).
