1 My ban (son), if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have thaqai (blow / sound alarm) your kap (hands) in pledge for a stranger;
2 You are trapped by the amaray (Amaray / Amorite) of your pah (mouth). You are ensnared with the amaray (Amaray / Amorite) of your pah (mouth).
3 Ishah (make) this apaw (now), my ban (son), and natzal (deliver) yourself, since you bawaa (bring) come into the kap (hand) of your neighbor. Yalak (go), rapas (humble) yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
4 Nathan (give) no shanah (sleep) to your iyan (eye), nor thanawamah (slumber) to your ipaip (eyelids).
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the yad (hand) of the hunter, like a tzapawar (bird) from the snare of the yaqawash (fowler).
6 Yalak (go) to the namalah (ant), you itzal (sluggard). Raah (see / saw) her darak (ways), and be chakam (wise);
7 Which having no chief, shatar (overseer), or mashal (rule/have dominion),
8 Kawan (provides) her lacham (bread) in the qayatz (summer), and agar (gathers) her maakal (food) in the qatzayar (harvest).
9 How long will you sleep, itzal (sluggard)? When will you qawam (rise up) out of your shanah (sleep)?
10 A mait (little) shanah (sleep), a mait (little) thanawamah (slumber), a mait (little) chabaq (folding) of the yadayam (hands) to sleep:
11 So your rayash (poverty) will bawaa (bring) as a robber, and your scarcity as an magan (shield) ayash (man / husband).
12 A worthless adam (person), a ayash (man / husband) of awan (iniquity), is he who halak (move) with a perverse pah (mouth);
13 Who qaratz (winks) with his iyan (eye), who signals with his ragal (feet / foot), who motions with his atzabai (fingers);
14 In whose lab (heart) is perverseness, who devises rai (evil) ith (continually), who ith (always) shalach (send) madan (discord).
15 Therefore his ayad (calamity) will bawaa (bring) pathaawam (suddenly). He will be shabar (broken) pathai (suddenly), and that without marapaa (remedy).
16 There are shash (six) things which Yahawah () shanaa (hate); yes, shabai (seven) which are an thawaibah (abomination) to him:
17 Rawam (will lift up) iyanayam (eyes), a shaqar (lying) lashawan (tongue / language), yadayam (hands) that shapak (shed) naqay (innocent) dam (blood);
18 A lab (heart) that charash (devises) awan (wicked) schemes, ragalayam (feet) that are mahar (swift) in running to rai (mischief),
19 A shaqar (false) id (until / as far as) who pawach (utters) kazabayam (lies), and he who shalach (send) madan (discord) among achayam (brothers).
20 My ban (son), natzar (keep) your ab (father) matzawah (commandment), and don't natash (forsake) your am (mother) teaching.
21 Qashar (bind) them continually on your lab (heart). Inad (tie) them around your garagarawath (neck).
22 When you halak (move), it will nachah (lead) you. When you sleep, it will shamar (keep/guard) over you. When you qawatz (awake), it will shayach (meditate) with you.
23 For the matzawah (commandment) is a nayar (lamp), and the thawarah (Torah / Instruction) is awar (light). Thawakachawath (reproofs) of mawasar (instruction) are the darak (way) of darak (life),
24 To shamar (keep/guard) you from the immoral ayashah (woman / wife), from the chalaqah (flattery) of the wayward wife's lashawan (tongue / language).
25 Don't chamad (lust) after her yapay (beauty) in your labab (heart), neither let her captivate you with her ipaip (eyelids).
26 For a prostitute reduces you to a kakar (piece) of lacham (bread). The adulteress tzawad (hunts) for your yaqar (precious) napash (soul).
27 Can a ayash (man / husband) scoop ash (fire) into his chayaq (lap), and his clothes not be sharap (burned)?
28 Or can ayash (man / husband) halak (move) on hot gachalayam (coals), and his ragal (feet / foot) not be scorched?
29 So is he who bawaa (bring) in to his neighbor's ayashah (woman / wife). Whoever touches her will not be naqah (clean/innocent).
30 Men don't bawaz (despise) a ganab (thief), if he ganab (steals) to malaa (satisfy) himself when he is raib (hungry):
31 But if he is matzaa (found), he shall shalam (restore) shabaithayam (seven) times. He shall nathan (give) all the hawan (wealth) of his bayath (house).
32 He who naap (commits) adultery with a ayashah (woman / wife) is chasar (void) of lab (heart). He who ishah (make) it shachath (destroys) his own napash (soul).
33 He will matzaa (get) nagai (wounds) and dishonor. His charapah (reproach) will not be machah (wiped) away.
34 For qanaah (jealousy) arouses the fury of the gabar (husband). He won't chamal (spare) in the yawam (day) of naqam (vengeance).
35 He won't nashaa (lift) any kapar (ransom), neither will he abah (be willing / desire) content, though you rabah (give) many shachad (gifts).
