CPDV Catholic Public Domain Version
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 The impious flees, though no one pursues. But the just, like a confident lion, shall be without dread.
1 HUYE el impío sin que nadie lo persiga: mas el justo está confiado como un leoncillo.
2 Because of the sins of the land, it has many princes. And because of the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the leader shall be prolonged.
2 Por la rebelión de la tierra sus príncipes son muchos: mas por el hombre entendido y sabio permanecerá sin mutación.
3 A poor man slandering the poor is like a violent rainstorm in advance of a famine.
3 El hombre pobre y robador de los pobres, es lluvia de avenida y sin pan.
4 Those who abandon the law praise the impious. Those who guard it are inflamed against him.
4 Los que dejan la ley, alaban á los impíos: mas los que la guardan, contenderán con ellos.
5 Evil men do not intend judgment. But those who inquire after the Lord turn their souls toward all things.
5 Los hombres malos no entienden el juicio: mas los que buscan á Jehová, entienden todas las cosas.
6 Better is the pauper walking in his simplicity, than the rich walking in ways of depravity.
6 Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad, que el de perversos caminos, y rico.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son. But whoever feeds gluttons brings shame to his father.
7 El que guarda la ley es hijo prudente: mas el que es compañero de glotones, avergüenza á su padre.
8 Whoever piles up riches by usury and profit gathers them for him who will give freely to the poor.
8 El que aumenta sus riquezas con usura y crecido interés, para que se dé á los pobres lo allega.
9 Whoever turns away his ears from listening to the law: his prayer will be detestable.
9 El que aparta su oído para no oir la ley, su oración también es abominable.
10 Whoever deceives the just in a malicious way will fall into his own perdition. And the simple shall possess his goods.
10 El que hace errar á los rectos por el mal camino, él caerá en su misma sima: mas los perfectos heredarán el bien.
11 The rich one seems wise to himself. But the poor one, being prudent, shall evaluate him.
11 El hombre rico es sabio en su opinión: mas el pobre entendido lo examinará.
12 In the exultation of the just, there is great glory. When the impious reign, men are brought to ruin.
12 Cuando los justos se alegran, grande es la gloria; mas cuando los impíos son levantados, es buscado el hombre.
13 Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.
13 El que encubre sus pecados, no prosperará: mas el que los confiesa y se aparta, alcanzará misericordia.
14 Blessed is the man who is ever fearful. Yet truly, whoever is hardened in mind will fall into evil.
14 Bienaventurado el hombre que siempre está temeroso: mas el que endurece su corazón, caerá en mal.
15 An impious leader over a poor people is like a roaring lion and a hungry bear.
15 León rugiente y oso hambriento, [es] el príncipe impío sobre el pueblo pobre.
16 A leader destitute of prudence will oppress many through false accusations. But whoever hates avarice shall prolong his days.
16 El príncipe falto de entendimiento multiplicará los agravios: [mas] el que aborrece la avaricia, prolongará sus días.
17 A man who slanders the blood of a life, even if he flees to the pit, no one will tolerate him.
17 El hombre que hace violencia con sangre de persona, huirá hasta el sepulcro, y nadie le detendrá.
18 Whoever walks simply shall be saved. Whoever is perverse in his steps will fall all at once.
18 El que en integridad camina, será salvo; mas el de perversos caminos caerá en alguno.
19 Whoever works his land shall be satisfied with bread. But whoever pursues leisure will be filled with need.
19 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los ociosos, se hartará de pobreza.
20 A faithful man shall be greatly praised. But whoever rushes to become rich will not be innocent.
20 El hombre de verdad tendrá muchas bendiciones: mas el que se apresura á enriquecer, no será sin culpa.
21 Whoever shows favoritism in judgment does not do well; even if it is for a morsel of bread, he forsakes the truth.
21 Tener acepción de personas, no es bueno: hasta por un bocado de pan prevaricará el hombre.
22 A man who hurries to become rich, and who envies others, does not know that destitution will overwhelm him.
22 Apresúrase á ser rico el hombre de mal ojo; y no conoce que le ha de venir pobreza.
23 Whoever corrects a man, afterward he shall find favor with him, more so than he who deceives him with a flattering tongue.
23 El que reprende al hombre, hallará después mayor gracia que el que lisonjea con la lengua.
24 Whoever takes away anything from his father or mother, and who says, “This is not a sin,” is the associate of a murderer.
24 El que roba á su padre ó á su madre, y dice que no es maldad, compañero es del hombre destruidor.
25 Whoever boasts and enlarges himself stirs up conflicts. Yet truly, whoever trusts in the Lord will be healed.
25 El altivo de ánimo suscita contiendas: mas el que en Jehová confía, medrará.
26 Whoever trusts in his own heart is a fool. But whoever treads wisely, the same shall be saved.
26 El que confía en su corazón es necio; mas el que camina en sabiduría, será salvo.
27 Whoever gives to the poor shall not be in need. Whoever despises his petition will suffer scarcity.
27 El que da al pobre, no tendrá pobreza: mas el que aparta sus ojos, tendrá muchas maldiciones.
28 When the impious rise up, men will hide themselves. When they perish, the just shall be multiplied.
28 Cuando los impíos son levantados, esconderáse el hombre: mas cuando perecen, los justos se multiplican.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 28:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXIV)

    Or rather even before that loss, no life so wretched as he must live that follows after this; dwelling with continual despondencies, alarms, cares, anxieties; which a certain wise man also was intimating when he said, "The wicked fleeth, when no man is pursuing." For such men tremble at their shadows, suspect their friends, their enemies, their servants, such as …
