OET (OET-RV) So now my children, listen to me,
 ⇔ ≈ and don’t deviate from my advice.

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.

5:7–8

In 5:1–2, the father addressed his “son” (singular). In 5:7, he used the plural “sons.”The Septuagint (LXX) and the Latin Vulgate have singular “son” here. In 5:8 and the following verses, the Hebrew verbs and pronouns are again singular. If it is confusing in your language to change from singular to plural like this, you may use singular forms throughout this section. A similar situation occurs in 4:1a. See the note and suggested footnotes there. The Display will use singular forms in 5:8–14.

5:7

Notice the parallel parts that are similar in meaning:

7aSo now, my sons, listen to me,

7band do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

5:7a

So now, my sons, listen to me,

So now: This phrase introduces the teacher’s reminder to his sons to pay attention to his warning about the adulteress. In 5:3–6, he described the bad outcome of her life. Here in 5:7, he gives his sons additional reasons to avoid her. Another way to indicate this kind of connection in English is:

Now then, my sons… (NIV)

5:7b

and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

do not turn aside from the words of my mouth: Other ways to translate do not turn aside from are:

never forget (GNT)

do not ignore (REB)

This command may also be expressed positively. For example:

do everything I say (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וְ⁠עַתָּ֣ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now children listen to=me and,do_not depart from,the_words_of my_mouth_of,my )

And now here indicates a transition from the description of the adulterous woman in 5:3–6 to the call to pay attention, which follows. Use the most natural way in your language to indicate a transition. Alternate translation: [Next]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠עַתָּ֣ה בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִ֑⁠י וְ⁠אַל־תָּ֝ס֗וּרוּ מֵ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽ⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now children listen to=me and,do_not depart from,the_words_of my_mouth_of,my )

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word other than and that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [And now, sons, listen to me; yes, do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בָ֭נִים

children

See how you translated the same use of sons in 4:1.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠אַל־תָּ֝ס֗וּרוּ מֵ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽ⁠י

and,do_not (Some words not found in UHB: and=now children listen to=me and,do_not depart from,the_words_of my_mouth_of,my )

Here Solomon speaks of someone not listening to someone else as if the person physically turned away from what he was saying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [do not stop listening to the sayings of my mouth]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

וְ⁠אַל־תָּ֝ס֗וּרוּ מֵ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽ⁠י

and,do_not (Some words not found in UHB: and=now children listen to=me and,do_not depart from,the_words_of my_mouth_of,my )

Solomon is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning positively. Alternate translation: [and listen to the sayings of my mouth]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מֵ⁠אִמְרֵי־פִֽ⁠י

from,the_words_of my_mouth_of,my

See how you translated the sayings of my mouth in 4:5.
