ହିତୋପଦେଶ 7
1 ହେ ମୋହର ପୁତ୍ର, ମୋହର କଥାସବୁ ପାଳନ କର ଓ ମୋହର ଆଜ୍ଞାସବୁ ଆପଣା ହୃଦୟରେ ସଞ୍ଚୟ କରି ରଖ।
My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
2 ମୋହର ଆଜ୍ଞାସବୁ ପାଳନ କର, ତହିଁରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବଞ୍ଚିବ ଓ ଆପଣା ଚକ୍ଷୁର ତାରା ପରି ମୋହର ବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ରକ୍ଷା କର।
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.
3 ତୁମ୍ଭର ସମସ୍ତ ଅଙ୍ଗୁଳିରେ ତାହା ବାନ୍ଧ; ତୁମ୍ଭର ହୃଦୟ-ପଟାରେ ତାହାସବୁ ଲେଖି ରଖ।
Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
4 ଜ୍ଞାନକୁ କୁହ, “ତୁମ୍ଭେ ମୋହର ଭଗିନୀ,” ଆଉ ସୁବିବେଚନାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଜ୍ଞାତି ବୋଲି କୁହ।
[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 ତହିଁରେ ସେମାନେ ପରସ୍ତ୍ରୀଠାରୁ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍, ଚାଟୁବାଦିନୀ ପରକୀୟାଠାରୁ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବେ।
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.
6 ମୁଁ ଆପଣା ଗୃହର ଝରକାର ଜାଲି ପରଦା ଦେଇ ନିରୀକ୍ଷଣ କରୁଥିଲି;
One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
7 ତହିଁରେ ମୁଁ ଦେଖିଲି, ଅଜ୍ଞାନମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଓ ଚିହ୍ନିଲି ଯୁବାମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଜଣେ ବୁଦ୍ଧିହୀନ ଯୁବା ଲୋକ
I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
8 ବ୍ୟଭିଚାରିଣୀର ଗୃହକୋଣ ନିକଟସ୍ଥ ଗଳି ଦେଇ ଯାଉ ଯାଉ ତାହାର ଗୃହକୁ ଯିବା ପଥରେ ଚାଲିଲା।
He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
9 ସେତେବେଳେ ଗୋଧୂଳି ସମୟ, ଦିନାବସାନ ହେଉଥିଲା, ରାତ୍ରିର କାଳିମା ଓ ଅନ୍ଧକାର ସମୟ।
at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
10 ତହିଁରେ ଦେଖ, ଜଣେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ତାହା ସଙ୍ଗେ ଭେଟିଲା, ସେ ବେଶ୍ୟାବେଶଧାରିଣୀ ଓ ଅନ୍ତଃକରଣରେ ଚତୁରୀ।
Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
11 ସେ ବଡ଼ ତୁଣ୍ଡେଈ ଓ ଅବାଧ୍ୟା, ତାହାର ପାଦ ନିଜ ଗୃହରେ ରହେ ନାହିଁ।
She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
12 ସେ କେବେ କେବେ ସଡ଼କରେ, କେବେ କେବେ ଛକରେ ଥାଏ ଓ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ କୋଣରେ ଅପେକ୍ଷାରେ ବସିଥାଏ।
She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
13 ସେହି ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ତାହାକୁ ଧରି ଚୁମ୍ବନ କଲା, ଆଉ ନିର୍ଲଜ ମୁଖରେ ତାହାକୁ କହିଲା
[When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
14 “ମଙ୍ଗଳାର୍ଥକ ବଳି ମୋʼ ନିକଟରେ ଅଛି; ମୁଁ ଆଜି ଆପଣାର ମାନତ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରିଅଛି।
“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.
15 ଏଣୁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ସଙ୍ଗେ ଦେଖା କରିବାକୁ ବାହାରକୁ ଆସିଲି ଓ ଯତ୍ନରେ ତୁମ୍ଭ ମୁଖ ଅନ୍ୱେଷଣ କରିବାକୁ ଆସିଅଛି, ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ପାଇଲି।
And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
16 ମୁଁ ସୁଜନୀ ଓ ମିସରୀୟ ସୂକ୍ଷ୍ମ ସୂତ୍ରର ଡୋରିଆ ବସ୍ତ୍ର ଆପଣା ପଲଙ୍କରେ ବିଛାଇଅଛି।
I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
17 ପୁଣି, ଗନ୍ଧରସ, ଅଗୁରୁ ଓ ଦାରୁଚିନିରେ ମୋହର ଶଯ୍ୟା ସୁବାସିତ କରିଅଛି।
I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
18 ଆସ, ଆମ୍ଭେମାନେ ପ୍ରଭାତ ଯାଏ କାମରସରେ ମତ୍ତ ଓ ପ୍ରେମରେ ଭୋଳ ହେଉ।
Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
19 ଯେହେତୁ କର୍ତ୍ତା ଘରେ ନାହାନ୍ତି, ସେ ଦୂରକୁ ଯାତ୍ରା କରିଅଛନ୍ତି।
My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
20 ସେ ତୋଡ଼ାଏ ଟଙ୍କା ସଙ୍ଗରେ ନେଇ ଯାଇଅଛନ୍ତି, ସେ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମା ସମୟରେ ଫେରି ଆସିବେ।”
He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
21 ଏହିରୂପେ ଅନେକ ମଧୁର ଭାଷା କହି ସେ ତାହାର ମନ ହରଣ କଲା, ଓଷ୍ଠାଧରର ଚାଟୁବାଦରେ ତାହାକୁ ଓଟାରି ନେଲା।
[So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
22 ଯେପରି ଗୋରୁ ହତ ହେବାକୁ ଯାଏ ଓ ଯେପରି ବେଡ଼ି ପିନ୍ଧିବା ଲୋକ ନିର୍ବୋଧର ଦଣ୍ଡ ପାଇବାକୁ ଯାଏ, ସେହିପରି ସେ ସେହିକ୍ଷଣି ତାହାର ପଛେ ପଛେ ଗଲା।
[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 ଆଉ, ଯେପରି ପକ୍ଷୀ ଫାନ୍ଦକୁ ପ୍ରାଣନାଶକ ନ ଜାଣି ତହିଁରେ ପଡ଼ିବାକୁ ବେଗେ ଉଡ଼େ, ଶେଷରେ ତାହାର ଯକୃତ ସେହିପରି ତୀର ଦ୍ୱାରା ବିଦ୍ଧ ହେଲା।
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).
24 ଏଣୁ ହେ ମୋହର ପୁତ୍ରମାନେ, ମୋହର କଥା ଶୁଣ ଓ ମୋʼ ମୁଖର ବାକ୍ୟରେ ମନୋନିବେଶ କର।
My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
25 ତୁମ୍ଭର ଚିତ୍ତ ତାହାର ମାର୍ଗରେ ନ ଯାଉ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାହାର ପଥରେ ବିପଥଗାମୀ ହୁଅ ନାହିଁ।
Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
26 ଯେହେତୁ ସେ ଅନେକଙ୍କୁ କ୍ଷତବିକ୍ଷତ କରି ପକାଇଅଛି, ହଁ, ତାହାର ହତ ଲୋକସକଳ ଅପାର।
She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
