BES Bible in Simple Spanish (2026)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ten cuidado al entrar en la casa de Dios. Es mejor escuchar que ofrecer los holocaustos de los necios, que no se dan cuenta de que hacen el mal.
1 Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.
2 No hables de manera imprudente ni te apresures a decir algo delante de Dios. Dios está en el cielo y tú estás en la tierra; por eso, habla poco.
2 Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
3 Así como las muchas ocupaciones traen sueños, el necio se hace oír con muchas palabras.
3 For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.
4 Cuando hagas un voto a Dios, no tardes en cumplirlo, porque a Dios no le agradan los necios. Cumple el voto que has hecho.
4 When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.
5 Es mejor no hacer un voto que hacerlo y no cumplirlo.
5 It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
6 No dejes que tus palabras te hagan pecar. Tampoco digas ante el ángel: «Fue un error», para que Dios no se enoje por tus palabras y destruya el trabajo de tus manos.
6 Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 Porque de los sueños y las cosas inútiles vienen muchas palabras. Pero tú teme a Dios.
7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words; but you must fear God.
8 Si ves que en un país oprimen a los pobres y violan la ley y la justicia, no te sorprendas. Una autoridad vigila a otra, y hay otras por encima de ellas.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.
9 En general, es bueno que un país donde se cultiva la tierra tenga un rey.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.
10 El que ama el dinero nunca tiene suficiente, y el que ama las riquezas nunca está satisfecho con sus ganancias. Esto también es inútil.
10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
11 Cuando aumentan los bienes, también aumentan los que viven de ellos. ¿Qué provecho obtiene su dueño, aparte de verlos?
11 When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
12 El trabajador duerme a gusto, coma poco o mucho. Pero el que está lleno no logra dormir.
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
13 He visto una gran desgracia bajo el sol: riquezas que su dueño guarda para su propia ruina.
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
14 Esas riquezas se pierden por un suceso desafortunado, y cuando ese hombre tiene un hijo, ya no le queda nada.
14 Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 Así como salió del vientre de su madre al nacer, así se irá. No podrá llevarse en la mano nada de lo que obtuvo con su trabajo.
15 As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 Esta también es una gran desgracia: tal como vino, así se irá. ¿Qué provecho obtiene de trabajar para el viento?
16 This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?
17 Pasa todos sus días en la oscuridad, con mucha tristeza, dolor, enfermedad y dificultades.
17 All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.
18 Esto es lo que he visto: es bueno y apropiado que una persona coma, beba y disfrute de todo su trabajo bajo el sol durante la vida que Dios le ha dado. Esa es su recompensa.
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Cuando Dios da a una persona dinero y riquezas, y le permite disfrutarlas, recibir la parte que le toca y alegrarse en su trabajo, eso es un regalo de Dios.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
20 Esa persona no piensa mucho en los días de su vida, porque Dios la mantiene ocupada en disfrutar de la alegría de su corazón.
20 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
