Ohabolana 5
1 Anaka, tandremo ny fahendreko, Ary atongilano ny sofinao ho amin’ ny fahalalako,
My son, pay attention to my wisdom; incline your ears to my understanding,
2 Hiheveranao tsara ny fisainana mazava Sy hitandreman’ ny molotrao ny fahalalana.
so you may learn about discretion and your lips may protect 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 lips of an adulteress drip with honey and her mouth is smoother than oil,
4 Nefa ny farany mangidy tahaka ny hazo mahafaty Ary maranitra hoatra ny sabatra roa lela.
but in the end she is as bitter as wormwood, cutting like a sharp sword.
5 Ny tongony midìna ho any amin’ ny fahafatesana, Ary ny diany mizotra ho any amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita. (Sheol h7585)
Her feet go down to death; her steps go all the way to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
6 Tsy mahazo mandia ny lalan’ aina mihitsy izy, Fa manjenjena, ka tsy fantany akory izay halehany.
She gives no thought to the path of life. Her footsteps wander; she does not know where she is going.
7 Koa mihainoa ahy, ry zanaka, Ary aza miala amin’ ny teny aloaky ny vavako.
Now, my sons, listen to me; do not turn away from listening to the words of my mouth.
8 Ampanalaviro azy ny alehanao, Ary aza manakaiky ny varavaran’ ny tranony;
Keep your path far away from her and do not come near the door of her house.
9 Fandrao omenao ho an’ ny sasany ny voninahitrao, Ary ny taonanao ho an’ izay lozabe;
In that way you will not give away your honor to others or years of your life to a cruel person;
10 Fandrao hivokisan’ ny vahiny ny fanananao; Ary izay nisasaranao ho tonga ao an-tranon’ ny vahiny;
strangers will not feast on your wealth; what you have worked for will not go into the house of strangers.
11 Ka dia hitoloko ianao any am-parany, Raha mihalevona ny nofonao sy ny tenanao;
At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body waste away.
12 Dia hanao hoe ianao: Nahoana re no nankahala famaizana aho? Ary nahoana no naniratsira fanaranana ny foko,
You will say, “How I hated instruction and my heart despised correction!
13 Ka tsy nihaino ny tenin’ ny mpanoro hevitra ahy, Ary tsy nanongilana ny sofiko hihaino ny mpampianatra ahy?
I would not obey my teachers or incline my ear to my instructors.
14 Efa saiky azon’ ny ratsy rehetra aho Tao amin’ ny fiangonana sy ny fivoriana.
I was almost completely ruined in the midst of the assembly, among the gathering of the people.”
15 Misotroa rano avy amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranonao ihany Sy rano miboiboika avy amin’ ny fantsakanao.
Drink water from your own cistern and drink running water from your own well.
16 Hipasaka eny ivelany va ny rano avy amin’ ny loharanonao, Ary eny an-dalambe ny rano velonao?
Should your springs overflow everywhere and your streams of water flow in the public squares?
17 Aoka ho anao irery ihany izany, Fa aza iombonana amin’ ny hafa.
Let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.
18 Aoka hotahina ny loharanonao, Ary mifalia amin’ ny vadin’ ny fahatanoranao.
May your fountain be blessed and may you rejoice in the wife of your 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.
for she is a loving deer and a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you be continually intoxicated by her love.
20 Nahoana ianao, anaka, no ho renoka amin’ ny fitiavana vehivavy jejo Ka hanohona ny tratran’ ny vahiny janga?
For why should you, my son, be captivated by an adulteress; why should you embrace the breasts of an immoral woman?
21 Fa eo imason’ i Jehovah ny alehan’ ny olona, Ary ny diany rehetra dia dinihiny avokoa.
Yahweh sees everything a person does and watches all the paths he takes.
22 Ny heloky ny ratsy fanahy dia mahazo ny tenany ihany, Ary ny kofehin’ ny fahotany no itanana azy
A wicked person will be seized by his own iniquities; the cords of his sin will hold him tight.
23 Maty noho ny tsi-fahazoany famaizana izy, Eny, mikorapaka noho ny haben’ ny fahadalany.
He will die because he lacks instruction; he is led astray by his great foolishness.
