Proverbe 5
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
Avertisment împotriva adulterului
5 Fiul meu, fii atent la înţelepciunea mea,
ascultă bine cuvintele mele înţelepte,
2 ca să-ţi păstrezi chibzuinţa
şi buzele tale să păzească cunoştinţa!
3 Buzele femeii adultere picură miere,
şi cuvintele ei sunt mai alunecoase decât untdelemnul,
4 dar la urmă sunt mai amare decât pelinul,
mai ascuţite ca o sabie cu două tăişuri.
5 Picioarele ei coboară la moarte
şi paşii ei conduc spre Locuinţa Morţilor.
6 Ea nu dă atenţie căii care duce la viaţă;
căile ei rătăcesc, dar ea nu ştie lucrul acesta.
7 Acum, fiilor, ascultaţi-mă
şi nu vă îndepărtaţi de la cuvintele mele.
8 Fiule, păstrează-ţi calea departe de a ei,
nu te apropia de uşa locuinţei ei,
9 pentru ca să nu-ţi dai cinstea altora
şi anii tăi unui om nemilos,
10 pentru ca nu cumva nişte străini să se sature de averea ta
şi din munca ta să se îmbogăţească casa altuia,
11 iar, la sfârşitul vieţii, să oftezi din greu
când carnea şi trupul ţi se vor istovi.
12 Atunci vei spune: „Cum am urât eu disciplinarea!
Cum a dispreţuit inima mea mustrarea!
13 Cum am putut să n-ascult glasul învăţătorilor mei
şi să n-ascult de cei ce mă îndrumau!
14 Era cât pe ce să fiu nenorocit de tot
în mijlocul adunării şi comunităţii.“
15 Bea apă din puţul tău
şi din propriul tău izvor!
16 De ce să se reverse izvoarele tale pe străzi
şi râurile tale în locuri publice?
17 Lasă-le să fie doar ale tale
şi nu le împărţi cu străinii.
18 Fie binecuvântată fântâna ta
şi bucură-te de soţia tinereţii tale –
19 cerboaică iubită, căprioară plăcută!
Fii îmbătat tot timpul de sânii ei,
fii întotdeauna captivat de dragostea ei.
20 Fiul meu, pentru ce să fii atras de o străină?
De ce să îmbrăţişezi sânul altei femei?
21 Căci umbletele omului sunt înaintea ochilor Domnului
şi El cântăreşte toate cărările lui.
22 Cel rău va fi prins de înseşi nelegiuirile lui
şi va fi legat cu funiile păcatului lui.
23 El va muri din lipsă de disciplinare
şi va rătăci din prea multa lui prostie.
Proverbs 5
New King James Version
The Peril of Adultery
5 My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
[a]Lend your ear to my understanding,
2 That you may [b]preserve discretion,
And your lips (A)may keep knowledge.
3 (B)For the lips of [c]an immoral woman drip honey,
And her mouth is (C)smoother than oil;
4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood,
Sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death,
(D)Her steps lay hold of [d]hell.
6 Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
7 Therefore hear me now, my children,
And do not depart from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove your way far from her,
And do not go near the door of her house,
9 Lest you give your [e]honor to others,
And your years to the cruel one;
10 Lest aliens be filled with your [f]wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
11 And you mourn at last,
When your flesh and your body are consumed,
12 And say:
“How I have hated instruction,
And my heart despised correction!
13 I have not obeyed the voice of my teachers,
Nor inclined my ear to those who instructed me!
14 I was on the verge of total ruin,
In the midst of the assembly and congregation.”
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
And running water from your own well.
16 Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
[g]Streams of water in the streets?
17 Let them be only your own,
And not for strangers with you.
18 Let your fountain be blessed,
And rejoice with (E)the wife of your youth.
19 (F)As a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be [h]enraptured with her love.
20 For why should you, my son, be enraptured by (G)an immoral woman,
And be embraced in the arms of a seductress?
21 (H)For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He [i]ponders all his paths.
22 (I)His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,
And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
23 (J)He shall die for lack of instruction,
And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Proverbs 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 3 Whoredom is forbidden, 9 And prodigality. 15 He willeth a man to live on his labors and to help others, 18 To love his wife. 22 The wicked taken in their own wickedness.
1 My son, hearken unto my wisdom, and incline thine ear unto my [a]knowledge,
2 That thou mayest regard counsel, and thy lips observe knowledge.
3 For the lips [b]of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is more soft than [c]oil.
4 But the end of her is bitter as wormwood, and sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her [d]feet go down to death, and her steps take hold on hell.
6 She weigheth not the way of life: [e]her paths are moveable: thou canst not know them.
7 Hear ye me now therefore, O children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Keep thy way far from her, and come not near the door of her house,
9 Lest thou give thine [f]honor unto others, and thy years to the cruel:
10 Lest the stranger should be filled with thy strength, and thy [g]labors be in the house of a stranger,
11 And thou mourn at thine end, (when thou hast consumed thy flesh and thy body)
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction!
13 And have not obeyed the voice of them that taught me, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost brought into all evil in the midst of the Congregation and [h]assembly.
15 ¶ Drink the water of [i]thy cistern, and of the rivers out of the midst of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains flow forth, and the rivers of waters in the streets.
17 But let them be thine, even [j]thine only, and not the strangers with thee.
18 Let thy [k]fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy [l]youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe: let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and delight in her love continually.
20 For why shouldest thou [m]delight, my son, in a strange woman, or embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the [n]eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his paths.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his own sin.
23 He shall [o]die for fault of instruction, and shall go astray through his great folly.
