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.

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.

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Babala Laban sa Pakikiapid
5 Anak, pakinggan mong mabuti ang mga sasabihin ko na may karunungan, 2 upang malaman mo ang pagpapasya ng tama at matuto ka ring magsalita nang may karunungan. 3 Ang salita ng masamang babae ay kasintamis ng pulot at banayad tulad ng langis. 4 Ngunit pagkatapos ay pait at sakit ang iyong makakamit. 5 Kung susunod ka sa kanya, dadalhin ka niya sa kapahamakan, sapagkat ang nilalakaran niya ay patungo sa kamatayan. 6 Hindi niya pinapansin ang daan patungo sa buhay. Ang dinadaanan niyaʼy liku-liko at hindi niya ito nalalaman.
7 Kaya mga anak, pakinggan ninyo ako at sundin. 8 Lumayo kayo sa babaeng masama ni huwag lumapit sa kanyang bahay. 9 Dahil baka masira ang inyong dangal at mapunta sa iba, at mamatay kayo sa kamay ng mga taong walang awa. 10 At ang lahat ng kayamanan ninyo at ang inyong mga pinagpaguran ay mapupunta sa iba, sa mga taong hindi ninyo kilala. 11 Saka kayo mananangis kapag malapit na kayong mamatay, kapag butoʼt balat na lamang at wala nang lakas. 12 Saka ninyo sasabihin, “Sayang hindi ko kasi pinansin ang mga pagtutuwid sa akin; nagmatigas ako at sinunod ang gusto ko. 13 Hindi ako nakinig sa aking mga guro. 14 Kaya ngayon, narito ako sa gitna ng kapahamakan at kahihiyan.”
15 Dapat sa asawa mo lang ikaw sumiping. Kung baga sa tubig, doon ka lang sa sarili mong balon kumuha ng iyong iinumin. 16 Dahil baka magtaksil din sa iyo ang iyong asawa.[a] 17 Dapat ang mag-asawa ay para lamang sa isaʼt isa at huwag makihati sa iba. 18 Maging maligaya ka sa iyong asawa, na napangasawa mo noong iyong kabataan. 19 Maganda siya at kaakit-akit gaya ng usa. Sana ay lagi kang lumigaya sa kanyang dibdib at maakit sa kanyang pag-ibig.
20 Anak, huwag kang paaakit sa malaswang babae o hipuin man ang kanyang dibdib. 21 Sapagkat nakikita ng Panginoon ang lahat ng iyong ginagawa; saan ka man naroroon tinitingnan ka niya. 22 Ang masamang tao ay bihag ng kanyang kasamaan, para itong bitag na huhuli sa kanya. 23 Maliligaw siya dahil sa kanyang kamangmangan, at mamamatay dahil ayaw niyang itinutuwid.

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?
