- 1
My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
- 2
Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
- 3
Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
- 4
Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
- 5
that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
- 6
For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
- 7
I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
- 8
passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
- 9
in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
- 10
Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
- 11
She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
- 12
Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
- 13
So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
- 14
“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
- 15
Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
- 16
I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
- 17
I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
- 18
Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
- 19
For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
- 20
He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
- 21
With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
- 22
He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
- 23
Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
- 24
Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
- 25
Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
- 26
for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
- 27
Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
- 1
HIJO mío, guarda mis razones, y encierra contigo mis mandamientos.
- 2
Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos.
- 3
Lígalos á tus dedos; escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón.
- 4
Di á la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; y á la inteligencia llama parienta:
- 5
Para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
- 6
Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa, por mi celosía,
- 7
Vi entre los simples, consideré entre los jóvenes, un mancebo falto de entendimiento,
- 8
El cual pasaba por la calle, junto á la esquina de aquella, é iba camino de su casa,
- 9
A la tarde del día, ya que oscurecía, en la oscuridad y tiniebla de la noche.
- 10
Y he aquí, una mujer que le sale al encuentro con atavío de ramera, astuta de corazón,
- 11
Alborotadora y rencillosa, sus pies no pueden estar en casa;
- 12
Unas veces de fuera, ó bien por las plazas, acechando por todas las esquinas.
- 13
Y traba de él, y bésalo; desvergonzó su rostro, y díjole:
- 14
Sacrificios de paz había prometido, hoy he pagado mis votos;
- 15
Por tanto he salido á encontrarte, buscando diligentemente tu rostro, y te he hallado.
- 16
Con paramentos he ataviado mi cama, recamados con cordoncillo de Egipto.
- 17
He sahumado mi cámara con mirra, áloes, y cinamomo.
- 18
Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana; alegrémonos en amores.
- 19
Porque el marido no está en casa, hase ido á un largo viaje:
- 20
El saco de dinero llevó en su mano; el día señalado volverá á su casa.
- 21
Rindiólo con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, obligóle con la blandura de sus labios.
- 22
Vase en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco á las prisiones para ser castigado;
- 23
Como el ave que se apresura al lazo, y no sabe que es contra su vida, hasta que la saeta traspasó su hígado.
- 24
Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y estad atentos á las razones de mi boca.
- 25
No se aparte á sus caminos tu corazón; no yerres en sus veredas.
- 26
Porque á muchos ha hecho caer heridos; y aun los más fuertes han sido muertos por ella.
- 27
Caminos del sepulcro son su casa, que descienden á las cámaras de la muerte.
