Süleyman'In Özdeyişleri 9
1 Bilgelik kendi evini yaptı, Yedi direğini yonttu.
[It is as though] wisdom [is a woman who] has built a [big] house for herself, and has set up seven columns [to support the roof],
2 Hayvanlarını kesti, Şarabını hazırlayıp sofrasını kurdu.
and has slaughtered an animal [and cooked the meat], and has mixed [nice spices] in the wine, and has put [the food] on the table.
3 Kentin en yüksek noktalarına gönderdiği Hizmetçileri aracılığıyla herkesi çağırıyor:
[It is as though then] she sent out her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town,
4 “Kim safsa buraya gelsin” diyor. Sağduyudan yoksun olanlara da, “Gelin, yiyeceklerimi yiyin, Hazırladığım şaraptan için” diyor.
“You people who need to understand more, come in!” And to those who are ignorant, [it is as though] she calls out,
“Come and eat the food that I [have prepared], and drink the [good] wine that I have mixed!
6 “Saflığı bırakın da yaşayın, Aklın yolunu izleyin.
(Leave/Go away from) [other] foolish people, and [if you do that, you will continue to] live. Walk on the road that will enable you to (have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true).”
7 “Alaycıyı paylayan aşağılanmayı hak eder, Kötü kişiyi azarlayan hakarete uğrar.
If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
8 Alaycıyı azarlama, yoksa senden nefret eder. Bilge kişiyi azarlarsan, seni sever.
Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to (correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong), because he will hate you for doing that. [But] if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
9 Bilge kişiyi eğitirsen Daha bilge olur, Doğru kişiye öğretirsen bilgisini artırır.
If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
10 RAB korkusudur bilgeliğin temeli. Akıl Kutsal Olan'ı tanımaktır.
If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand [which teachings are wise/true].
11 Benim sayemde günlerin çoğalacak, Ömrüne yıllar katılacak.
If you become wise, you will live many years [DOU].
12 Bilgeysen, bilgeliğinin yararı sanadır, Alaycı olursan acısını yalnız sen çekersin.”
If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule [becoming wise], you are the one who will suffer.
13 Akılsız kadın yaygaracı Ve saftır, hiçbir şey bilmez.
Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed [of the wrong things that they do].
14 Evinin kapısında, Kentin en yüksek yerinde bir iskemleye oturur; Yoldan geçenleri, Kendi yollarından gidenleri çağırmak için,
They sit at the doors of their houses [or] they sit on the top [of the hills] in the town,
and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
16 “Kim safsa buraya gelsin” der. Sağduyudan yoksun olanlara da,
“You people who need to understand more, come into [my house]!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
17 “Çalıntı su tatlı, Gizlice yenen yemek lezzetlidir” der.
“[Just as] water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, [if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much].”
18 Ne var ki, evine girenler ölüme gittiklerini, Ona konuk olanlar Ölüler diyarının dibine indiklerini bilmezler. (Sheol h7585)
But men who go to those women’s houses do not know that those who have gone there are now dead; they have descended down into the deepest parts of the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
