SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–23: Eighth lesson: Avoid the temptation to commit adultery

A summary of this lesson is: Stay away from a woman who commits adultery, or you will bitterly regret it (5:1–14). Instead, be delighted with your own wife (5:15–20), because the LORD sees everything you do and will punish wickedness (5:21–23).

Some other headings for this section are:

Advice to stay away from a woman who commits adultery

Warning About Adultery (NCV)

Avoid Adultery (GW)

Be Faithful to Your Wife (CEV)

Paragraph 5:7–14

Verses 5:9–14 tell what will happen to the son if he does not follow the advice given in 5:7–8.

5:10

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning. These parts are arranged in the form of a chiasm. The parts in 5:10b occur in the opposite order from the parallel parts in 5:10a.

10alest strangers feast on your wealth,

10band your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.

There is an ellipsis in 5:10b. In some languages, it may be necessary to supply the missing word from 5:10a. For example:

10band lest your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.

5:10a–b

(combined/reordered)

strangers…the house of a foreigner: The house of a foreigner is parallel to strangers and probably refers to the family or household of that person or persons.

5:10a

lest strangers feast on your wealth,

feast on your wealth: In some languages, it is not natural to speak figuratively of “feasting” on someone’s wealth. If that is true in your language, it may be better to translate this phrase without using a figure of speech. For example:

enjoy your wealth (NCV)

take all your wealth (GNT)

5:10b

and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner.

your labors: The phrase your labors is parallel to “your wealth.” It is a figure of speech (metonymy) in which labor represents the wealth that the young man will earn through working. One way to express this idea is:

what you worked so hard for will go to someone else (NCV)

General Comment on 5:10a–b

In some languages, it may be more natural to combine and/or reorder the parallel parts. See the Display for 5:10a–b (combined/reordered).

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

פֶּֽן־יִשְׂבְּע֣וּ זָרִ֣ים

lest take_~_fillof strangers

The word lest here indicates that what follows in this verse are more things that will happen to young men if they do not obey the commands in [5:8](../05/08.md). Use a natural form in your language to connect this statement to the previous one. Alternate translation: “yes, if you fail to obey my teaching, strangers will be satisfied”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִשְׂבְּע֣וּ

take_~_fillof

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כֹּחֶ֑⁠ךָ

strength_of,your

Here, your strength refers to everything that a person achieves during the time in a person’s life when he has the most strength. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “with what you achieved when you were strong”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ֝⁠עֲצָבֶ֗י⁠ךָ

and,your(pl)_hard_of,labors

Here, your toils refers to everything that a person earns by working hard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and what you gain from toiling”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ֝⁠עֲצָבֶ֗י⁠ךָ בְּ⁠בֵ֣ית

and,your(pl)_hard_of,labors in=house_of

Solomon is leaving out a word that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply this word from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and your toils be in the house of]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נָכְרִֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: lest take_~_fillof strangers strength_of,your and,your(pl)_hard_of,labors in=house_of alien )

Here, a foreigner refers to anyone outside of the young man‘s family. It refers to the same kind of people as strangers earlier in the verse and “others” in verse 9. This probably refers to the family of the adulterous woman, who will benefit from the young man‘s strength and toils. Alternate translation: “those who are not your family”
