Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al necio la honra.
2 As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá.
3 A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para la espalda del necio.
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, para que no seas tú también como él.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
5 Responde al necio según su necedad, porque no se estime sabio en su opinión.
6 He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
6 Como el que se corta los pies y bebe su daño, así es el que envía algo por mano de un necio.
7 As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
7 Alzar las piernas del cojo, así es el proverbio en la boca del necio.
8 As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, así [hace] el que al necio da honra.
9 As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, tal es el proverbio en la boca de los necios.
10 Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
10 El grande cría todas las cosas; y da la paga al insensato, y la da á los transgresores.
11 As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, así el necio que repite su necedad.
12 Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.
13 The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles.
14 As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: así el perezoso en su cama.
15 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
15 Esconde el perezoso su mano en el seno; cánsase de tornarla á su boca.
16 The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
16 A su ver es el perezoso más sabio que siete que [le] den consejo.
17 As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
17 El que pasando se deja llevar de la ira en pleito ajeno, es [como] el que toma al perro por las orejas.
18 As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas y saetas y muerte,
19 So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
19 Tal es el hombre que daña á su amigo, y dice: Ciertamente me chanceaba.
20 When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego: y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda.
21 As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego: y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda.
22 The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
22 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas; mas ellas entran hasta lo secreto del vientre.
23 Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
23 [Como] escoria de plata echada sobre el tiesto, son los labios enardecidos y el corazón malo.
24 An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
24 Otro parece en los labios el que aborrece; mas en su interior pone engaño.
25 When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
25 Cuando hablare amigablemente, no le creas; porque siete abominaciones hay en su corazón.
26 He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
26 Encúbrese el odio con disimulo; mas su malicia será descubierta en la congregación.
27 He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
27 El que cavare sima, caerá en ella: y el que revuelva la piedra, á él volverá.
28 A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
28 La falsa lengua atormenta al que aborrece: y la boca lisonjera hace resbaladero.
