ਕਹਾਉਤਾਂ 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.
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 ੬ ਜੀਵਨ ਦਾ ਪੱਧਰਾ ਰਾਹ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਭਦਾ, ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਚਾਲਾਂ ਭਟਕਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਉਹ ਆਪ ਵੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਣਦੀ।
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.
I did not heed what my teachers said! I paid no attention to those who [tried to] teach me [something about my behavior].
[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 ੧੯ ਉਹ ਪਿਆਰੀ ਹਰਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਸੋਹਣੀ ਹਰਨੋਟੀ ਹੋਵੇ, ਉਹ ਦੀਆਂ ਛਾਤੀਆਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਸਦਾ ਤ੍ਰਿਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਤੂੰ ਨਿੱਤ ਓਸੇ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਨਾਲ ਮੋਹਿਤ ਰਹਿ।
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.
22 ੨੨ ਦੁਸ਼ਟ ਜਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਹੀ ਬਦੀਆਂ ਉਹ ਨੂੰ ਫਸਾ ਲੈਣਗੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੇ ਹੀ ਪਾਪ ਦੇ ਬੰਧਨਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬੰਨ੍ਹਿਆ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ।
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.
