Proverbele 5
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Fereşte-te de desfrânare
5 Fiule, ia aminte la înţelepciunea mea
şi pleacă urechea la învăţătura mea,
2 ca să fii cu chibzuinţă
şi buzele tale să aibă(A) cunoştinţă.
3 Căci(B) buzele femeii străine strecoară miere
şi cerul gurii ei este mai lunecos(C) decât untdelemnul,
4 dar(D) la urmă este amară ca pelinul,
ascuţită(E) ca o sabie cu două tăişuri.
5 Picioarele(F) ei pogoară la moarte,
paşii ei dau în Locuinţa morţilor.
6 Aşa că ea nu poate găsi calea vieţii,
rătăceşte în căile ei şi nu ştie unde merge.
7 Şi acum, fiule, ascultă-mă
şi nu te abate de la cuvintele gurii mele:
8 depărtează-te de drumul care duce la ea
şi nu te apropia de uşa casei ei,
9 ca nu cumva să-ţi dai altora vlaga ta
şi unui om fără milă anii tăi;
10 ca nu cumva nişte străini să se sature de averea ta
şi tu să te trudeşti pentru casa altuia;
11 ca nu cumva să gemi, la urmă,
când carnea şi trupul ţi se vor istovi
12 şi să zici: „Cum am putut eu să urăsc(G) certarea
şi cum a dispreţuit inima(H) mea mustrarea?
13 Cum am putut să n-ascult glasul învăţătorilor mei
şi să nu iau aminte la cei ce mă învăţau?
14 Cât pe ce să mă nenorocesc de tot
în mijlocul poporului şi adunării!”
15 Bea apă din fântâna ta
şi din izvoarele puţului tău.
16 Ce, vrei să ţi se verse izvoarele afară?
Şi să-ţi curgă râurile pe pieţele de obşte?
17 Lasă-le să fie numai pentru tine,
şi nu pentru străinii de lângă tine.
18 Izvorul tău să fie binecuvântat
şi bucură-te de nevasta(I) tinereţii tale.
19 Cerboaică(J) iubită, căprioară plăcută:
fii îmbătat tot timpul de drăgălăşiile ei,
fii îndrăgostit necurmat de dragostea ei!
20 Şi pentru ce, fiule, ai fi îndrăgostit de o(K) străină
şi ai îmbrăţişa sânul unei necunoscute?
21 Căci(L) căile omului sunt lămurite înaintea ochilor Domnului
şi El vede toate cărările lui.
22 Cel rău este prins în înseşi(M) nelegiuirile lui
şi este apucat de legăturile păcatului lui.
23 El va muri din lipsă de înfrânare(N),
se va poticni din prea multa lui nebunie.

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.

Warning Against Adultery
5 My son,(A) pay attention to my wisdom,
turn your ear to my words(B) of insight,
2 that you may maintain discretion
and your lips may preserve knowledge.
3 For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey,
and her speech is smoother than oil;(C)
4 but in the end she is bitter as gall,(D)
sharp as a double-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.(E)
6 She gives no thought to the way of life;
her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it.(F)
7 Now then, my sons, listen(G) to me;
do not turn aside from what I say.
8 Keep to a path far from her,(H)
do not go near the door of her house,
9 lest you lose your honor to others
and your dignity[a] to one who is cruel,
10 lest strangers feast on your wealth
and your toil enrich the house of another.(I)
11 At the end of your life you will groan,
when your flesh and body are spent.
12 You will say, “How I hated discipline!
How my heart spurned correction!(J)
13 I would not obey my teachers
or turn my ear to my instructors.
14 And I was soon in serious trouble(K)
in the assembly of God’s people.”(L)
15 Drink water from your own cistern,
running water from your own well.
16 Should your springs overflow in the streets,
your streams of water in the public squares?
17 Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with strangers.
18 May your fountain(M) be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth.(N)
19 A loving doe, a graceful deer(O)—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her love.
20 Why, my son, be intoxicated with another man’s wife?
Why embrace the bosom of a wayward woman?

Proverbs 5
King James Version
Proverbs 5
King James Version
5 My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
2 That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
3 For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
16 Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
17 Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
18 Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
19 Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
20 And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and he pondereth all his goings.
22 His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
23 He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
