Notes on this text (1)
- Same Septuagint text as Brenton, with modernised spelling.
1 Anger slays even wise men; Yet a submissive answer turns away wrath: But a grievous word stirs up anger.
1 LA blanda respuesta quita la ira: mas la palabra áspera hace subir el furor.
2 The tongue of the wise knows what is good: But the mouth of the foolish tells out evil things.
2 La lengua de los sabios adornará la sabiduría: mas la boca de los necios hablará sandeces.
3 The eyes of the Lord behold Both the evil and the good in every place.
3 Los ojos de Jehová están en todo lugar, mirando á los malos y á los buenos.
4 The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, And he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding.
4 La sana lengua es árbol de vida: mas la perversidad en ella es quebrantamiento de espíritu.
5 A fool scorns his father’s instruction: But he that keeps his commandments is more prudent. In abounding righteousness is great strength: But the ungodly shall utterly perish from the earth.
5 El necio menosprecia el consejo de su padre: mas el que guarda la corrección, vendrá á ser cuerdo.
6 In the houses of the righteous is much strength: But the fruits of the ungodly shall perish.
6 En la casa del justo hay gran provisión; empero turbación en las ganancias del impío.
7 The lips of the wise are bound by discretion: But the hearts of the foolish are not safe.
7 Los labios de los sabios esparcen sabiduría: mas no así el corazón de los necios.
8 The sacrifices of the ungodly are an abomination to the Lord; But the prayers of them that walk honestly are acceptable with him.
8 El sacrificio de los impíos es abominación á Jehová: mas la oración de los rectos es su gozo.
9 The ways of an ungodly [man] are an abomination to the Lord; But he loves those that follow after righteousness.
9 Abominación es á Jehová el camino del impío: mas él ama al que sigue justicia.
10 The instruction of the simple is known by them that pass by; But they that hate reproofs die disgracefully.
10 La reconvención es molesta al que deja el camino: y el que aborreciere la corrección, morirá.
11 Hell and destruction are manifest to the Lord; How shall not also be the hearts of men?
11 El infierno y la perdición están delante de Jehová: ¡cuánto más los corazones de los hombres!
12 An uninstructed person will not love those that reprove him; Neither will he associate with the wise.
12 El escarnecedor no ama al que le reprende; ni se allega á los sabios.
13 When the heart rejoices the countenance is cheerful; But when it is in sorrow, [the countenance] is sad.
13 El corazón alegre hermosea el rostro: mas por el dolor de corazón el espíritu se abate.
14 An upright heart seeks discretion; But the mouth of the uninstructed will experience evils.
14 El corazón entendido busca la sabiduría: mas la boca de los necios pace necedad.
15 The eyes of the wicked are always looking for evil things; But the good are always quiet.
15 Todos los días del afligido son trabajosos: mas el de corazón contento [tiene] un convite continuo.
16 Better is a small portion with the fear of the Lord, Than great treasures without the fear [of the Lord].
16 Mejor es lo poco con el temor de Jehová, que el gran tesoro donde hay turbación.
17 Better is an entertainment of herbs with friendliness and kindness, Than a feast of calves, with enmity.
17 Mejor es la comida de legumbres donde hay amor, que de buey engordado donde hay odio.
18 A passionate man stirs up strife; But [he that is] slow to anger appeases even a rising one.
18 El hombre iracundo mueve contiendas: mas el que tarde se enoja, apaciguará la rencilla.
18a A man slow to anger will extinguish quarrels; But an ungodly man rather stirs [them] up.
·
19 The ways of sluggards are strewn with thorns; But those of the diligent are made smooth.
19 El camino del perezoso es como seto de espinos: mas la vereda de los rectos [como] una calzada.
20 A wise son gladdens [his] father; But a foolish son sneers at his mother.
20 El hijo sabio alegra al padre: mas el hombre necio menosprecia á su madre.
21 The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; But a wise man proceeds on his way aright.
21 La necedad es alegría al falto de entendimiento: mas el hombre entendido enderezará su proceder.
22 They that honor not councils put off deliberation; But counsel abides in the hearts of counselors.
22 Los pensamientos son frustrados donde no hay consejo; mas en la multitud de consejeros se afirman.
23 A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; Neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common [weal].
23 Alégrase el hombre con la respuesta de su boca: y la palabra á su tiempo, ¡cuán buena es!
24 The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, That he may turn aside and escape from hell.
24 El camino de la vida [es] hacia arriba al entendido, para apartarse del infierno abajo.
25 The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; But he establishes the border of the widow.
25 Jehová asolará la casa de los soberbios: mas él afirmará el término de la viuda.
26 An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; But the sayings of the pure are held in honor.
26 Abominación son á Jehová los pensamientos del malo: mas las expresiones de los limpios [son] limpias.
27 A receiver of bribes destroys himself; But he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe.
27 Alborota su casa el codicioso: mas el que aborrece las dádivas vivirá.
27a By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; But by the fear of the Lord everyone departs from evil.
·
28 The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; But the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things.
28 El corazón del justo piensa para responder: mas la boca de los impíos derrama malas cosas.
28a The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; And through them even enemies become friends.
·
29 God is far from the ungodly; But he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous.
29 Lejos está Jehová de los impíos: mas él oye la oración de los justos.
29a Better are small receipts with righteousness, Than abundant fruits with unrighteousness.
·
29b Let the heart of a man think justly, That his steps may be rightly ordered of God.
·
30 The eye that sees rightly rejoices the heart; And a good report fattens the bones.
30 La luz de los ojos alegra el corazón; y la buena fama engorda los huesos. 31 La oreja que escucha la corrección de vida, entre los sabios morará.
32 He that rejects instruction hates himself; But he that minds reproofs loves his soul.
32 El que tiene en poco la disciplina, menosprecia su alma: mas el que escucha la corrección, tiene entendimiento.
33 The fear of the Lord is instruction and wisdom; And the highest honor will correspond therewith.
33 El temor de Jehová es enseñanza de sabiduría: y delante de la honra [está] la humildad.
