സദൃശവാക്യങ്ങൾ 5
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].
What an immoral woman says [to you may be] as sweet as honey, and sound smoother than olive oil [feels on your skin],
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.
5 ൫ അവളുടെ കാലുകൾ മരണത്തിലേക്ക് ഇറങ്ങിച്ചെല്ലുന്നു; അവളുടെ കാലടികൾ പാതാളത്തിലേക്ക് ഓടുന്നു. (Sheol h7585)
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)
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.
Run away from immoral women! Do not go near the doors of their houses!
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!
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.
Then you will say, “I hated it [when people tried to] correct me. I despised [people when they] reproved/rebuked me.
13 ൧൩ എന്റെ ഉപദേഷ്ടാക്കന്മാരുടെ വാക്ക് ഞാൻ അനുസരിച്ചില്ല; എന്നെ പ്രബോധിപ്പിച്ചവർക്ക് ഞാൻ ചെവികൊടുത്തില്ല.
I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
14 ൧൪ സഭയുടെയും സംഘത്തിന്റെയും മദ്ധ്യത്തിൽ ഞാൻ ഏകദേശം സകലദോഷത്തിലും അകപ്പെട്ടുപോയല്ലോ” എന്നിങ്ങനെ പറയുവാൻ സംഗതിവരരുത്.
[Now] I am almost ruined, and I will be disgraced in public gatherings.”
Like a man is refreshed by drinking water from his own well [MET], enjoy [having sex] [EUP] only with your own wife.
Like you would not waste good water by pouring it into the street, [you should not have sex with other women]. [MET, EUP]
Enjoy [having sex] only with your wife; do not [have sex with] other women.
Let your wife be a source of great pleasure to you. (Be happy/[Enjoy sex]) with the woman whom you married when you were both young.
19 ൧൯ കൗതുകമുള്ള പേടമാനും മനോഹരമായ ഇളമാൻപേടയുംപോലെ അവളുടെ സ്തനങ്ങൾ എല്ലാകാലത്തും നിന്നെ രമിപ്പിക്കട്ടെ; അവളുടെ പ്രേമത്താൽ നീ എല്ലായ്പോഴും മത്തനായിരിക്കുക.
She is as pretty and graceful [as] a young female deer. Allow her breasts to always satisfy you. Allow her lovemaking to excite you.
My son, do not be [RHQ] captivated/charmed by an immoral woman! Do not fondle the breasts of another man’s wife!
[I say that] because Yahweh sees clearly everything that we do; he knows [where we are going on] the roads that we walk on.
Evil men’s sinful desires hold them fast; their sins are [like] ropes that bind them.
Evil men [will] die because they are unable to say “No” to their desires; they [will] (go astray/be lost) because of the foolish things that they do.
