Provérbios 7
1 Filho meu, guarda as minhas palavras, e esconde dentro de ti os meus mandamentos.
My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
2 Guarda os meus mandamentos, e vive; e a minha lei, como as meninas dos teus olhos.
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 Ata-os aos teus dedos, escreve-os na taboa do teu coração.
Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
4 Dize á sabedoria, Tu és minha irmã; e á prudencia chama parenta.
[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 Para te guardarem da mulher alheia, da estrangeira, que lisongeia com as suas palavras.
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 Porque da janella da minha casa, por minhas grades olhando eu,
One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
7 Vi entre os simplices, descobri entre os moços, um mancebo falto de juizo,
I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
8 Que passava pela rua junto á sua esquina, e seguia o caminho da sua casa;
He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
9 No crepusculo, á tarde do dia, na tenebrosa noite e na escuridão;
at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
10 E eis que uma mulher lhe saiu ao encontro, com enfeites de prostituta, e astuta de coração:
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 Esta era alvoroçadora, e contenciosa; não paravam em sua casa os seus pés;
She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
12 Agora por fóra, depois pelas ruas, e espreitando por todos os cantos:
She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
13 E pegou d'elle, e o beijou; esforçou o seu rosto, e disse-lhe:
[When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
14 Sacrificios pacificos tenho comigo; hoje paguei os meus votos.
“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 Por isto sahi ao encontro a buscar diligentemente a tua face, e te achei.
And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
16 Já cobri a minha cama com cobertas de tapeçaria, com obras lavradas com linho fino do Egypto.
I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
17 Já perfumei o meu leito com myrrha, aloes, e canella.
I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
18 Vem, saciemo-nos de amores até pela manhã: alegremo-nos com amores.
Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
19 Porque já o marido não está em sua casa: foi fazer uma jornada ao longe:
My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
20 Um saquitel de dinheiro levou na sua mão: ao dia apontado virá a sua casa.
He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
21 Seduziu-o com a multidão das suas palavras, com as lisonjas dos seus labios o persuadiu.
[So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
22 Segue-a logo, como boi que vae ao matadouro, e como o louco ao castigo das prisões;
[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 Até que a frecha lhe atravesse o figado, como a ave que se apressa para o laço, e não sabe que está armado contra a sua vida.
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 Agora pois, filhos, dae-me ouvidos, e estae attentos ás palavras da minha bocca.
My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
25 Não se desvie para os seus caminhos o teu coração, e não andes perdido nas suas veredas.
Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
26 Porque a muitos feridos derribou; e são muitissimos os que por ella foram mortos.
She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
