1 When you yashab (inhabit/dwell) to lacham (eat) with a mashal (rule/have dominion), bayan (between) bayan (between) what is panayam (face) you;
2 Shawam (place / establish / appoint) a shakayan (knife) to your lai (throat), if you are a bail (man) given to napash (soul).
3 Don't be awah (desirous) of his mataim (dainties), since they are kazab (deceitful) lacham (food).
4 Don't yagai (weary) yourself to be ishar (rich). In your bayanah (wisdom), show restraint.
5 Why do you iwap (flying) your iyan (eye) on that which is not? For it ishah (make) sprouts kanapayam (wings) like an nashar (eagle) and iwap (flying) in the sky.
6 Don't lacham (eat) the lacham (food) of him who has a stingy iyan (eye), and don't crave his delicacies:
7 For as he shair (thinks) about the cost, so he is. “Akal (eat) and shathah (drinks)!” He amar (said) to you, but his lab (heart) is not with you.
8 The path (morsel) which you have akal (eat) you shall qawaa (vomit) up, and shachath (lose) your naiyam (good) dabar (word / matter).
9 Don't dabar (word / matter) in the azanay (ears) of a kasayal (fool), for he will bawaz (despise) the shakal (wisdom) of your malah (words).
10 Don't move the iwalam (eternity) boundary gabawal (border/boundary). Don't encroach on the shaday (fields) of the yathawam (fatherless):
11 For their Defender is chazaq (strong). He will rayab (plead) their case against you.
12 Bawaa (bring) your lab (heart) to mawasar (instruction), and your azan (ear) to the amaray (Amaray / Amorite) of daith (knowledge).
13 Don't manai (withhold) mawasar (correction) from a nair (child). If you nakah (punish) him with the shabat (rod), he will not mawath (death).
14 Nakah (punish) him with the shabat (rod), and natzal (save) his napash (soul) from shaawal (Sheol / afterlife).
15 My ban (son), if your lab (heart) is chakam (wise), then my lab (heart) will be shamach (glad), even anay (mine):
16 Yes, my kalayah (heart) will ilaz (rejoice), when your shapah (lips) dabar (word / matter) what is mayashar (right).
17 Don't let your lab (heart) qanaa (jealous) chataayam (sinners); but rather yaraah (fear) Yahawah () all the yawam (day) long.
18 Indeed surely there is a future thaqawah (hope), and your hope will not be karath (cut) off.
19 Shamai (hearken / hear), my ban (son), and be chakam (wise), and keep your lab (heart) on the right darak (path)!
20 Don't be among yayan (ones) drinking too much zalal (wine), or those who gorge themselves on meat:
21 For the sabaa (drunkard) and the zalal (glutton) shall become yarash (poor); and nawamah (drowsiness) labash (clothes) them in qaraiyam (rags).
22 Shamai (hearken / hear) to your ab (father) who gave you yalad (birth / begot), and don't bawaz (despise) your am (mother) when she is zaqan (old).
23 Qanah (buy) the amath (truth), and don't makar (sell) it. Get chakamah (wisdom), mawasar (discipline), and bayanah (understanding).
24 The ab (father) of the tzadayaq (righteous) has great gayal (joy). Whoever yalad (birth / begot) a chakam (wise) child delights in him.
25 Let your ab (father) and your am (mother) be shamach (glad)! Let her who yalad (birth / begot) you gayal (rejoice)!
26 My ban (son), nathan (give) me your lab (heart); and let your iyan (eye) keep in my darak (ways).
27 For a prostitute is a imaq (deep) shawachah (pit); and a wayward wife is a tzar (oppressor / distressor) baar (well).
28 Yes, she lies in arab (wait) like a robber, and yasap (increases) the bagad (unfaithful) among adam (men).
29 Who has away (woe)? Who has abaway (sorrow)? Who has strife? Who has shayach (complaints)? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot iyanayam (eyes)?
30 Those who achar (other) long at the yayan (wine); those who bawaa (bring) to chaqar (seek) out mixed mamasak (wine).
31 Don't raah (see / saw) at the yayan (wine) when it is adam (red), when it sparkles in the kayas (cup), when it halak (move) down smoothly.
32 In the acharayath (end), it nashak (bites) like a snake, and poisons like a viper.
33 Your iyan (eye) will raah (see / saw) zawar (strange) things, and your lab (heart) will imagine confusing things.
34 Yes, you will be as he who shakab (lies) down in the lab (heart) of the yam (sea/waters), or as he who shakab (lies) on raash (head) of the rigging:
35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They halam (beat) me, and I don't yadai (feel) it! When will I qawatz (wake) up? I can do it again. I can find another.”
