သုတ္တံကျမ်း 7
My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thy eye.
Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thy heart.
Say to wisdom, Thou [art] my sister; and call understanding [thy] kinswoman:
5 ၅ သို့ပြုလျှင်သူတို့သည် အမျိုးပျက်သောမိန်းမ၊ နှုတ်နှင့် ချော့မော့တတ်သော ပြည်တန်ဆာမိန်းမလက်မှ သင့်ကို ကယ်တင်ကြလိမ့်မည်။
That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger [which] flattereth with her words.
For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house.
In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
And behold, there met him a woman [with] the attire of a harlot, and subtil of heart.
(She [is] loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
Now [is she] without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said to him,
[I have] peace-offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows.
Therefore I came forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved [works], with fine linen of Egypt.
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
For the good-man [is] not at home, he is gone a long journey:
He hath taken a bag of money with him, [and] will come home at the day appointed.
With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she impelled him.
22 ၂၂ နွားသည်အသေခံရာသို့ လိုက်သကဲ့သို့၎င်း၊ သမင်ဒရယ်သည် မိမိအသည်း၌ မြှားမထိုးမှီတိုင်အောင်၊ ဘမ်းမိရာထဲသို့ ဝင်သကဲ့သို့၎င်း၊
He goeth after her quickly, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
23 ၂၃ ငှက်သည် မိမိအသက်ဆုံးစေခြင်းငှါ ထောင် မှန်းကိုမရိပ်မိဘဲ၊ ကျော့ကွင်းထဲသို့ အလျင်အမြန် ဝင်သကဲ့သို့၎င်း၊ လူပျိုသည် ထိုမိန်းမနောက်သို့ ချက်ခြင်း လိုက်သွားတတ်၏။
Till a dart striketh through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it [is] for his life.
Now therefore hearken to me, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Let not thy heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
For she hath cast down many wounded: yes, many strong [men] have been slain by her.
