သုတ္တံကျမ်း 7
My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
2 ၂ ငါ့ ပညတ် တို့ကို စောင့်ရှောက် ၍ အသက်ရှင် လော့။ ငါ ပေးသောတရား ကို ကိုယ် မျက် ဆန် ကဲ့သို့ စောင့်လော့။
Obey my commands, and [as a result you will] live [a good life]. Consider the things that I teach you [to be very precious]; guard them, [just] like you protect your eyes.
Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
[Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family.
5 ၅ သို့ပြုလျှင်သူတို့သည် အမျိုး ပျက်သောမိန်းမ ၊ နှုတ် နှင့် ချော့မော့ တတ်သော ပြည်တန်ဆာ မိန်းမလက်မှ သင့် ကို ကယ်တင် ကြလိမ့်မည်။
If you are wise and if you understand what is wise [PRS], you will not [sleep with] an immoral woman; you will not listen to a woman who tries to entice you [to sleep with her] by what she says.
One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
9 ၉ မိုဃ်းချုပ် ၍ ညဦး အချိန် ၊ ညဉ့် နက် သော အချိန် ရောက်သောအခါ ၊ ထိုမိန်းမ နေရာ လမ်း သို့ လိုက် လေ၏။
at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
[When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
“I have [some meat that is left over from] a sacrifice that I made today [to maintain fellowship with Yahweh]; I have fulfilled/done what I promised him that I would do.
And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
18 ၁၈ လာ ပါ၊ မိုဃ်းလင်း သည်တိုင်အောင် ကာမ ရာဂ စိတ်ကို ဖြေ ကြကုန်အံ့။ မေထုန် ပြု၍ မွေ့လျော်ကြကုန်အံ့။
Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
[So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
22 ၂၂ နွား သည်အသေခံ ရာသို့ လိုက် သကဲ့သို့ ၎င်း ၊ သမင်ဒရယ်သည် မိမိ အသည်း ၌ မြှား မ ထိုး မှီတိုင်အောင်၊ ဘမ်းမိရာထဲသို့ ဝင်သကဲ့သို့ ၎င်း၊
[And] he went with her immediately, like an ox that was going to where it would be slaughtered, or like a deer (OR, a fool) that is stepping into a noose/trap,
23 ၂၃ ငှက် သည် မိမိ အသက် ဆုံးစေခြင်းငှါ ထောင် မှန်းကိုမ ရိပ်မိ ဘဲ၊ ကျော့ကွင်း ထဲသို့ အလျင် အမြန်ဝင်သကဲ့သို့ ၎င်း၊ လူပျိုသည် ထိုမိန်းမ နောက် သို့ ချက်ခြင်း လိုက်သွား တတ်၏။
where it will remain/stay until someone shoots an arrow into its liver [and kills it]. [He was] like a bird that flew into a trap. He did not know that (it would cost him his life/he would die as a result).
My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
25 ၂၅ ထိုသို့သော မိန်းမ နေရာလမ်း ကို စိတ် မ ငဲ့ကွက် နှင့်။ သူ ကျင်လည်သော လမ်း ခရီးသို့ လွှဲ ၍မ လိုက်နှင့်။
Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
26 ၂၆ အကြောင်း မူကား၊ သူသည်စစ်သူရဲ အများ တို့ကို လှဲ လေပြီ။ ခွန်အား ကြီးသော သူအများ တို့ကိုသတ် လေပြီ။
She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
