Ohabolana 7
1 Anaka, tandremo ny teniko, Ary raketo ao aminao ny didiko.
My sonne, keepe my wordes, and hide my commandements with thee.
2 Tandremo ny didiko, dia ho velona ianao; Ary tandremo toy ny anakandriamasonao ny lalàko.
Keepe my commandements, and thou shalt liue, and mine instruction as the apple of thine eyes.
3 Afehezo eo amin’ ny rantsan-tananao izy, Soraty ao amin’ ny fonao tahaka ny amin’ ny vato fisaka izy.
Binde them vpon thy fingers, and write them vpon the table of thine heart.
4 Ny fahendrena dia ilazao hoe: Anabaviko ianao; Ary ny fahafantarana dia antsoy hoe: Sakaiza mahazatra ianao;
Say vnto wisedome, Thou art my sister: and call vnderstanding thy kinswoman,
5 Mba hiarovana anao amin’ ny vehivavy jejo, Dia amin’ ny vahiny janga izay manao teny mandrobo.
That they may keepe thee from the strange woman, euen from the stranger that is smoothe in her wordes.
6 Fa teo amin’ ny varavarankelin’ ny tranoko, Dia teo amin’ ny makarakara, no nitsirihako,
As I was in the window of mine house, I looked through my windowe,
7 Ka nahita anankiray tamin’ ny kely saina aho, Eny, nandinika ny tovolahy aho ka nahita zazalahy anankiray tsy ampy saina,
And I sawe among the fooles, and considered among the children a yong man destitute of vnderstanding,
8 Izay nandeha tamin’ ny lalana akaikin’ ny zoron-tranon’ ny vehivavy janga Sy nizotra nankany an-tranony,
Who passed through the streete by her corner, and went toward her house,
9 Nony takariva ilay somambisamby iny Sy tamin’ ny alina efa maizina dia maizina.
In the twilight in the euening, when the night began to be blacke and darke.
10 Dia, indro, nisy vehivavy nitsena azy Sady manao fitafin’ ny janga no mifetsy am-po,
And beholde, there met him a woman with an harlots behauiour, and subtill in heart.
11 Sady vavàna no maditra, Tsy mahajanona ao an-tranony ny tongony;
(She is babling and loud: whose feete can not abide in her house.
12 Fa vetivety mby eny an-dalam-be izy, ary vetivety mby eny an-tsena, Ary mamitsaka eny an-joron-trano rehetra eny izy.
Nowe she is without, nowe in the streetes, and lyeth in waite at euery corner)
13 Ka dia nisavika ilay tovolahy izy ka nanoroka azy Sady nisolantsolana taminy ka nilaza hoe:
So she caught him and kissed him and with an impudent face said vnto him,
14 Efa nivoady hanatitra fanati-pihavanana aho; Ary androany no nanefako ny voadiko.
I haue peace offerings: this day haue I payed my vowes.
15 Koa dia nivoaka hitsena anao aho, Mba hitady fatratra ny tarehinao, ka dia nahita anao tokoa.
Therefore came I forth to meete thee, that I might seeke thy face: and I haue found thee.
16 Ny fandriako efa nasiako firakotra tsara, Dia lambam-pandriana misoratsoratra voafoly hatrany Egypta.
I haue deckt my bed with ornaments, carpets and laces of Egypt.
17 Efa norarahako zava-manitra ny fandriako, Dia miora sy hazomanitra ary havozo manitra.
I haue perfumed my bedde with myrrhe, aloes, and cynamom.
18 Andeha, aoka isika hivoky fitia ambara-pahamarain’ ny andro, Aoka ho feno fahafinaretana amin’ ny fitiavana isika.
Come, let vs take our fill of loue vntill the morning: let vs take our pleasure in daliance.
19 Fa tsy ao an-trano ny lehilahy, Fa lasa nivahiny lavitra izy;
For mine husband is not at home: he is gone a iourney farre off.
20 Ny kitampom-bola dia nentiny any an-tànany, Ka tsy mbola hody izy mandra-pahafenon’ ny volana.
He hath taken with him a bagge of siluer, and will come home at the day appointed.
21 Tamin’ ny teny maro no nampanekeny azy, Tamin’ ny fandroboan’ ny molony no nitaomany azy,
Thus with her great craft she caused him to yeelde, and with her flattering lips she entised him.
22 Ka dia nandeha nanaraka azy niaraka tamin’ izay ilay zatovo, Tahaka ny omby entina hovonoina, Ary tahaka ny adala hogadrana,
And he followed her straight wayes, as an oxe that goeth to the slaughter, and as a foole to the stockes for correction,
23 Ambara-piboroaky ny lefom-pohy amin’ ny atiny, Ary tahaka ny vorona mipaoka ny fandrika, Fa tsy fantany hahafaty ny ainy izany.
Till a dart strike through his liuer, as a bird hasteth to the snare, not knowing that he is in danger.
24 Koa mihainoa ahy ianareo, anaka, Ary tandremo ny teny aloaky ny vavako.
Heare me now therefore, O children, and hearken to the wordes of my mouth.
25 Aoka tsy hivily ho any amin’ ny lalany ny fonareo, Ary aza mania ho amin’ ny alehany.
Let not thine heart decline to her wayes: wander thou not in her paths.
26 Fa betsaka no naripany ka maty; Ary maro be no efa matiny.
For shee hath caused many to fall downe wounded, and the strong men are all slaine by her.
