امثال 7
| ای پسر من سخنان مرا نگاه دار، و اوامر مرانزد خود ذخیره نما. | ۱ 1 |
My son, heed my advice, and guard my instructions [as you would] [MET] [guard] a treasure.
| اوامر مرا نگاه دار تازنده بمانی، و تعلیم مرا مثل مردمک چشم خویش. | ۲ 2 |
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.
| آنها را بر انگشتهای خود ببند و آنها رابر لوح قلب خود مرقوم دار. | ۳ 3 |
Tie my commands around your fingers [in order that they will remind you to obey them]. Always keep them in mind [MET].
| به حکمت بگو که تو خواهر من هستی و فهم را دوست خویش بخوان | ۴ 4 |
[Love] wisdom [like you love] your sister. Understand what is wise, [and let that be as dear to you as] members of your family.
| تا تو را از زن اجنبی نگاه دارد، و از زن غریبی که سخنان تملق‌آمیز می‌گوید. | ۵ 5 |
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.
| زیرا که از دریچه خانه خود نگاه کردم، و ازپشت شبکه خویش. | ۶ 6 |
One day, I was standing at the window inside my house, and I looked outside.
| در میان جاهلان دیدم، ودر میان جوانان، جوانی ناقص العقل مشاهده نمودم، | ۷ 7 |
I saw some young men who did not have good sense. Among them was a man who was very foolish.
| که در کوچه بسوی گوشه او می‌گذشت. و به راه خانه وی می‌رفت، | ۸ 8 |
He crossed the street near [the house of] an immoral woman. He was walking along the path toward her house
| در شام در حین زوال روز، در سیاهی شب و در ظلمت غلیظ، | ۹ 9 |
at twilight, when it was getting dark [DOU].
| که اینک زنی به استقبال وی می‌آمد، در لباس زانیه ودر خباثت دل. | ۱۰ 10 |
Suddenly the woman came out to see/meet him. She was dressed (seductively/like a prostitute), wanting to persuade him to sleep with her.
| زنی یاوه‌گو و سرکش که پایهایش در خانه‌اش قرار نمی گیرد. | ۱۱ 11 |
She was a loud talker, one who was rebellious; she [SYN] never stayed at home.
| گاهی درکوچه‌ها و گاهی در شوارع عام، و نزد هر گوشه‌ای در کمین می‌باشد. | ۱۲ 12 |
She often went into the city streets and plazas/markets, waiting to trap some man.
| پس او را بگرفت و بوسید وچهره خود را بی‌حیا ساخته، او را گفت: | ۱۳ 13 |
[When she saw that young man], she put her arms around him and kissed him. Then without being a bit ashamed, she said,
| «نزدمن ذبایح سلامتی است، زیرا که امروز نذرهای خود را وفا نمودم. | ۱۴ 14 |
“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.
| از این جهت به استقبال توبیرون آمدم، تا روی تو را به سعی تمام بطلبم وحال تو را یافتم. | ۱۵ 15 |
And now I have come out to meet/see you. I was searching for you, and [now] I have found you!
| بر بستر خود دوشکهاگسترانیده‌ام، با دیباها از کتان مصری. | ۱۶ 16 |
I have put on my bed sheets/bedspreads that were made from [very fine] linen [that were imported] {[people brought]} from Egypt.
| بسترخود را با مر و عود و سلیخه معطر ساخته‌ام. | ۱۷ 17 |
I have sprinkled [sweet-smelling] perfumes on my bed— myrrh and aloes and cinnamon.
| بیاتا صبح از عشق سیر شویم، و خویشتن را ازمحبت خرم سازیم. | ۱۸ 18 |
Come [with me]; let us enjoy having sex until [tomorrow] morning. Let’s enjoy making love.
| زیرا صاحبخانه در خانه نیست، و سفر دور رفته است. | ۱۹ 19 |
My husband is not at home; he has gone away on a long journey.
| کیسه نقره‌ای به‌دست گرفته و تا روز بدر تمام مراجعت نخواهدنمود.» | ۲۰ 20 |
He is carrying a wallet filled with money, and he will not return until the middle of this month.”
| پس او را از زیادتی سخنانش فریفته کرد، واز تملق لبهایش او را اغوا نمود. | ۲۱ 21 |
[So] she persuaded him by [her] enticing/tempting words. She allured him by her smooth/sweet talk.
| در ساعت ازعقب او مثل گاوی که به سلاخ خانه می‌رود، روانه شد و مانند احمق به زنجیرهای قصاص. | ۲۲ 22 |
[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,
| تا تیر به جگرش فرو رود، مثل گنجشکی که به دام می‌شتابد و نمی داند که به خطر جان خود می‌رود. | ۲۳ 23 |
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).
| پس حال‌ای پسران مرا بشنوید، و به سخنان دهانم توجه نمایید. | ۲۴ 24 |
My son, listen to what I say; pay [careful] attention to my words.
| دل تو به راههایش مایل نشود، و به طریقهایش گمراه مشو، | ۲۵ 25 |
Do not allow anything to arouse/persuade you to go with an immoral woman like that. Do not go where she goes.
| زیراکه او بسیاری را مجروح‌انداخته است، و جمیع کشتگانش زورآورانند. | ۲۶ 26 |
She has caused many men to be ruined; truly, no one can count the men she has killed.
