My son, listen carefully to some [more] wise things that I will tell you. Listen well to what I am going to teach you.

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 Mitsopa-tantele ty soñin-tsimirirañe, vaho malama te amo solikeo ty vava’e;
What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
4 f’ie mafaitse te amo vahon-tsoiñeo am-para’e, masioñe hoe fibara sambe-lela’e.
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.

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 h7585)
6 Tsy haraharae’e i lalan-kaveloñey; mihelahela o lala’eo, fe amoea’e.
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].

So now, my sons, listen to me. (Never turn aside from/always remember) [LIT] what I am about to tell you.

9 tsy mone hatolo’o ami’ty ila’e ty enge’o, naho o tao’oo amy mifajifajiy,
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 mbore hampiboboke ty ambahiny ty haozara’o, vaho mb’añ’akiba’ ty alik’ama’o o nimokora’oo;
Foreigners will take your money, and [all] the good things that you have worked for will (end up in their hands/become their possessions).

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 ami’ty hoe: Akore te nalaim-pandilovan-draho, naho niheje’ ty troko o endakeo!
Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.

My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
21 Sindre añatrefam-pihaino’ Iehovà o lala’ ondatio, Songa tsikarahe’e o lalan-tsile’eo.
[I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
