Proverbs 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 My son, keep my words, and treasure my commands.	1 يا ابني احفظ كلامي واذخر وصاياي عندك.
2 Keep my commands and live, my teaching as the apple of your eye;	2 احفظ وصاياي فتحيا وشريعتي كحدقة عينك.
3 Bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart.	3 اربطها على اصابعك اكتبها على لوح قلبك.
4 Say to Wisdom, "You are my sister!" call Understanding, "Friend!"	4 قل للحكمة انت اختي وادع الفهم ذا قرابة.
5 That they may keep you from another's wife, from the adulteress with her smooth words.	5 لتحفظك من المرأة الاجنبية من الغريبة الملقة بكلامها
6 For at the window of my house, through my lattice I looked out--	6 لاني من كوة بيتي من وراء شباكي تطلعت
7 And I saw among the simple ones, I observed among the young men, a youth with no sense,	7 فرايت بين الجهال لاحظت بين البنين غلاما عديم الفهم
8 Going along the street near the corner, then walking in the direction of her house--	8 عابرا في الشارع عند زاويتها وصاعدا في طريق بيتها
9 In the twilight, at dusk of day, at the time of the dark of night.	9 في العشاء في مساء اليوم في حدقة الليل والظلام.
10 And lo! the woman comes to meet him, robed like a harlot, with secret designs--	10 واذ بامرأة استقبلته في زي زانية وخبيثة القلب.
11 She is fickle and unruly, in her home her feet cannot rest;	11 صخّابة هي وجامحة. في بيتها لا تستقر قدماها.
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the open squares, and at every corner she lurks in ambush--	12 تارة في الخارج واخرى في الشوارع. وعند كل زاوية تكمن.
13 When she seizes him, she kisses him, and with an impudent look says to him:	13 فامسكته وقبّلته. اوقحت وجهها وقالت له
14 "I owed peace offerings, and today I have fulfilled my vows;	14 عليّ ذبائح السلامة. اليوم اوفيت نذوري.
15 So I came out to meet you, to look for you, and I have found you!	15 فلذلك خرجت للقائك لاطلب وجهك حتى اجدك.
16 With coverlets I have spread my couch, with brocaded cloths of Egyptian linen;	16 بالديباج فرشت سريري بموشّى كتان من مصر.
17 I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, with aloes, and with cinnamon.	17 عطرت فراشي بمرّ وعود وقرفة.
18 "Come, let us drink our fill of love, until morning, let us feast on love!	18 هلم نرتو ودّا الى الصباح. نتلذذ بالحب.
19 For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey;	19 لان الرجل ليس في البيت. ذهب في طريق بعيدة.
20 A bag of money he took with him, not till the full moon will he return home."	20 اخذ صرّة الفضة بيده. يوم الهلال ياتي الى بيته.
21 She wins him over by her repeated urging, with her smooth lips she leads him astray;	21 اغوته بكثرة فنونها بملث شفتيها طوحته.
22 He follows her stupidly, like an ox that is led to slaughter; Like a stag that minces toward the net,	22 ذهب وراءها لوقته كثور يذهب الى الذبح او كالغبي الى قيد القصاص
23 till an arrow pierces its liver; Like a bird that rushes into a snare, unaware that its life is at stake.	23 حتى يشق سهم كبده. كطير يسرع الى الفخ ولا يدري انه لنفسه
24 So now, O children, listen to me, be attentive to the words of my mouth!	24 والآن ايها الابناء اسمعوا لي واصغوا لكلمات فمي.
25 Let not your heart turn to her ways, go not astray in her paths;	25 لا يمل قلبك الى طرقها ولا تشرد في مسالكها.
26 For many are those she has struck down dead, numerous, those she has slain.	26 لانها طرحت كثيرين جرحى وكل قتلاها اقوياء.
27 Her house is made up of ways to the nether world, leading down into the chambers of death.	27 طرق الهاوية بيتها هابطة الى خدور الموت
