1My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
1Ex cualal incßajol, cheqßuehak retal li naßleb li yôquin chixyebal êre. Ut chicanâk taxak saß êchßôl lix yâlal li yôquin chixcßutbal chêru xban nak ninnau chanru li cuânc saß ruchichßochß.
2That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
2Cui têqßue saß êchßôl li cßaßru ninye êre, texcuânk saß xyâlal. Ut riqßuin li cßaßru têye, tâcßutûnk nak cuan lê naßleb.
3For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
3Li ixk li incßaß us xnaßleb naxnau kßunbesînc riqßuin chßinaßusil âtin. Sa rabinquil. Chanchan xquißal li yaßal cab. Li râtin naxkßunobresi xchßôl li junjûnk, joß li aceite li nakßuntesin.
4But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
4Li ani tâtßanekß saß rukß li ixk aßan târecßa xcßahil li raylal li tixcßul mokon. Chanchan xcßahil li bakcheß. Ut chanchan xkßesnal li chßîchß li caß pacßal xkßesnal.
5Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
5Li cßaßru naxbânu li ixk aßan, caßaj cuiß li câmc naxqßue. Ut aßan nacßamoc re saß xbalba.
6Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
6Li ixk aßan incßaß nacßoxlac chirix lix yußam. Chi moco naxqßue retal ma us naxbânu malaj ut incßaß.
7Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
7Anakcuan ut, ex cualal incßajol, cherabihak lix yâlal li yôquin chixchßolobanquil chêru. Junelic chebânuhak li cßaßru ninye êre.
8Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
8Mêcßam êrib riqßuineb li ixk li incßaß useb xnaßleb, chi moco texxic saß li rochocheb.
9Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
9Mexxic riqßuineb re nak incßaß têmux êrib riqßuineb, chi moco têsach lê yußam chi cuânc riqßuineb.
10Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
10Incßaß us nak jalan chic teßyalok xsahil li cßaßru êre li ac xecßanjela.
11And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
11Mâre mokon texyâbak xban li raylal ut li xutânal têcßul nak yôkex chi osocß xban li yajel xetau.
12And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
12Ut têye: —¿Cßaßut nak incßaß xinqßue saß inchßôl li kßusbal li quiqßueheß cue? ¿Cßaßut nak xintzßektâna?
13And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
13¿Cßaßut nak incßaß quinqßue xcuanquil lin châbil naßleb li queßxqßue li queßtzoloc cue? Incßaß quicuaj rabinquil lin tijbal li queßxqßue.
14I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
14Caßchßin chic mâ quinsach cuib chi junaj cua saß li mâc. Xutânal xincßul chiruheb chixjunileb li tenamit, mâre chaßkat.
15Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
15At cualal, chatcuânk saß tîquilal riqßuin lâ cuixakil ut caßaj cuiß riqßuin aßan teßcuânk lâ cualal âcßajol.
16Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
16¿Cßaßru aj e nak teßcuânk âcualal âcßajol saß be? ¿Cßaßru aj e nak tâcanabeb chi tzßektzßo yalak bar?
17Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
17Eb lâ cualal âcßajol tzßakal âcueheb. ¿Cßaßut nak tâcanabeb re nak jalan chic teßxtenkßa?
18Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
18Kßaxal lokß nak cuânkeb lâ cualal âcßajol. Chisahokß taxak saß âchßôl riqßuin lâ cuixakil li xatsumlâk cuiß saß âsâjilal.
19Let 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.
19Lâ cuixakil, aßan châbil ut chßinaßus. Chanchan xchßinaßusal li quej. Chisahokß taxak âchßôl riqßuin xban nak junelic tatxra ut tixcßojob âchßôl.
20And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
20¿Cßaßut nak tâxic âchßôl chirix junak ixk incßaß us xnaßleb? Ut, ¿cßaßut nak tâkßalu cui mâcuaß tzßakal âcuixakil?
21For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
21Li Kâcuaß yô chirilbal chanru lix naßleb li junjûnk. Ut junelic yô chixqßuebal retal cßaßru nequeßxbânu.
22His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
22Li incßaß useb xnaßleb, aß ajcuiß li mâusilal li nequeßxbânu nasachoc reheb. Chanchan bacßbôqueb xban li mâc nequeßxbânu.Xban nak mâcßaß xnaßleb naxqßue lix yußam chi sachc. Ut xban nak incßaß naxcuy rib, xjunes naxsach rib.
23He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
23Xban nak mâcßaß xnaßleb naxqßue lix yußam chi sachc. Ut xban nak incßaß naxcuy rib, xjunes naxsach rib.
