4 Dile a la sabiduría: «Tú eres mi hermana», y llama al conocimiento tu amigo cercano.
4 Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
5 Así te protegerán de la mujer ajena, de la que te seduce con sus palabras.
5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6 Desde mi casa, mientras miraba por la ventana,
6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
7 vi entre los jóvenes a uno que carecía de juicio.
7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8 Iba por la calle cerca de la esquina de ella y tomaba el camino hacia su casa,
8 passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
9 al caer la tarde, cuando llegaba la oscuridad de la noche.
9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10 La mujer salió a su encuentro, vestida como una prostituta y con planes engañosos en el corazón.
10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
11 Es ruidosa y desenfrenada; no se queda en su casa.
11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
12 Ahora está en la calle, ahora en las plazas; espera en cada esquina.
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
13 Lo tomó de la mano, lo besó y, sin ninguna vergüenza, le dijo:
13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14 «Tengo un banquete de ofrendas de paz, pues hoy he cumplido mis votos.
14 “Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
15 Por eso salí con la esperanza de encontrarte; te busqué con cuidado y ahora te tengo aquí.
15 Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
16 He cubierto mi cama con cojines bordados y telas de colores hechas con hilo de algodón de Egipto.
16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
17 He perfumado mi cama con aromas y especias.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Ven, disfrutemos del amor hasta la mañana; gocemos de sus delicias.
18 Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
19 Porque el dueño de la casa está lejos, en un largo viaje.
19 For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
20 Se llevó una bolsa de dinero y regresará cuando haya luna llena».
20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
21 Con sus bellas palabras lo venció y con sus labios seductores lo convenció.
21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22 El ingenuo la sigue como un buey que va a morir, como una gacela arrastrada por una cuerda,
22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
23 como un pájaro que cae en una red. No piensa que su vida está en peligro, hasta que una flecha le atraviesa el costado.
23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
24 Ahora, hijos míos, escúchenme y presten atención a mis palabras.
24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25 No dejen que su corazón se incline hacia los caminos de ella ni se pierdan siguiendo sus pasos.
25 Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
26 Porque son muchos los que ella ha herido y derribado; los que han muerto por su causa forman un gran ejército.
26 for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
27 Su casa es el camino al lugar de los muertos, que baja a las habitaciones de la muerte.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Take heed then, brethren, and hold fast the traditions which ye now receive, and write them an the table of your heart.
