< Ohabolana 5 >
1 Anaka, tandremo ny fahendreko, Ary atongilano ny sofinao ho amin’ ny fahalalako,
My sonne, hearken vnto my wisedome, and incline thine eare vnto my knowledge.
2 Hiheveranao tsara ny fisainana mazava Sy hitandreman’ ny molotrao ny fahalalana.
That thou maiest regarde counsell, and thy lippes obserue knowledge.
3 Fa ny molotry ny vehivavy jejo dia mitete toy ny tantely avy amin’ ny tohotra, Ary ny vavany dia malama noho ny diloilo;
For the lippes of a strange woman drop as an honie combe, and her mouth is more soft then oyle.
4 Nefa ny farany mangidy tahaka ny hazo mahafaty Ary maranitra hoatra ny sabatra roa lela.
But the end of her is bitter as wormewood, and sharpe as a two edged sworde.
5 Ny tongony midìna ho any amin’ ny fahafatesana, Ary ny diany mizotra ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol )
Her feete goe downe to death, and her steps take holde on hell. (Sheol )
6 Tsy mahazo mandia ny lalan’ aina mihitsy izy, Fa manjenjena, ka tsy fantany akory izay halehany.
She weigheth not the way of life: her paths are moueable: thou canst not knowe them.
7 Koa mihainoa ahy, ry zanaka, Ary aza miala amin’ ny teny aloaky ny vavako.
Heare yee me nowe therefore, O children, and depart not from the wordes of my mouth.
8 Ampanalaviro azy ny alehanao, Ary aza manakaiky ny varavaran’ ny tranony;
Keepe thy way farre from her, and come not neere the doore of her house,
9 Fandrao omenao ho an’ ny sasany ny voninahitrao, Ary ny taonanao ho an’ izay lozabe;
Least thou giue thine honor vnto others, and thy yeeres to the cruell:
10 Fandrao hivokisan’ ny vahiny ny fanananao; Ary izay nisasaranao ho tonga ao an-tranon’ ny vahiny;
Least the stranger should be silled with thy strength, and thy labours bee in the house of a stranger,
11 Ka dia hitoloko ianao any am-parany, Raha mihalevona ny nofonao sy ny tenanao;
And thou mourne at thine end, (when thou hast consumed thy flesh and thy bodie)
12 Dia hanao hoe ianao: Nahoana re no nankahala famaizana aho? Ary nahoana no naniratsira fanaranana ny foko,
And say, How haue I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction!
13 Ka tsy nihaino ny tenin’ ny mpanoro hevitra ahy, Ary tsy nanongilana ny sofiko hihaino ny mpampianatra ahy?
And haue not obeied the voyce of them that taught mee, nor enclined mine eare to them that instructed me!
14 Efa saiky azon’ ny ratsy rehetra aho Tao amin’ ny fiangonana sy ny fivoriana.
I was almost brought into all euil in ye mids of the Congregation and assemblie.
15 Misotroa rano avy amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranonao ihany Sy rano miboiboika avy amin’ ny fantsakanao.
Drinke the water of thy cisterne, and of the riuers out of the middes of thine owne well.
16 Hipasaka eny ivelany va ny rano avy amin’ ny loharanonao, Ary eny an-dalambe ny rano velonao?
Let thy fountaines flow foorth, and the riuers of waters in the streetes.
17 Aoka ho anao irery ihany izany, Fa aza iombonana amin’ ny hafa.
But let them bee thine, euen thine onely, and not the strangers with thee.
18 Aoka hotahina ny loharanonao, Ary mifalia amin’ ny vadin’ ny fahatanoranao.
Let thy fountaine be blessed, and reioyce with the wife of thy youth.
19 Fa dieravavy mahate-ho-tia sy osi-dia tsara bika izy, Dia aoka ny tratrany no hahafeno fifaliana anao mandrakariva, Ary aoka ho feno faharavoravoana lalandava amin’ ny fitiavany ianao.
Let her be as the louing hinde and pleasant roe: let her brests satisfie thee at all times, and delite in her loue continually.
20 Nahoana ianao, anaka, no ho renoka amin’ ny fitiavana vehivavy jejo Ka hanohona ny tratran’ ny vahiny janga?
For why shouldest thou delite, my sonne, in a strange woman, or embrace the bosome of a stranger?
21 Fa eo imason’ i Jehovah ny alehan’ ny olona, Ary ny diany rehetra dia dinihiny avokoa.
For the waies of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his pathes.
22 Ny heloky ny ratsy fanahy dia mahazo ny tenany ihany, Ary ny kofehin’ ny fahotany no itanana azy
His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe, and he shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne.
23 Maty noho ny tsi-fahazoany famaizana izy, Eny, mikorapaka noho ny haben’ ny fahadalany.
Hee shall die for fault of instruction, and shall goe astray through his great follie.
