GNV Geneva Bible (1599)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.
1 COMO la nieve en el verano, y la lluvia en la siega, así conviene al necio la honra.
2 As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.
2 Como el gorrión en su vagar, y como la golondrina en su vuelo, así la maldición sin causa nunca vendrá.
3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.
3 El látigo para el caballo, y el cabestro para el asno, y la vara para la espalda del necio.
4 Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.
4 Nunca respondas al necio en conformidad á su necedad, para que no seas tú también como él.
5 Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
5 Responde al necio según su necedad, porque no se estime sabio en su opinión.
6 He that sendeth a message by the hand of a foole, is as he that cutteth off the feete, and drinketh iniquitie.
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 they that lift vp the legs of the lame, so is a parable in a fooles mouth.
7 Alzar las piernas del cojo, así es el proverbio en la boca del necio.
8 As the closing vp of a precious stone in an heape of stones, so is he that giueth glory to a foole.
8 Como quien liga la piedra en la honda, así [hace] el que al necio da honra.
9 As a thorne standing vp in the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fooles.
9 Espinas hincadas en mano del embriagado, tal es el proverbio en la boca de los necios.
10 The excellent that formed all things, both rewardeth the foole and rewardeth the transgressers.
10 El grande cría todas las cosas; y da la paga al insensato, y la da á los transgresores.
11 As a dog turneth againe to his owne vomit, so a foole turneth to his foolishnes.
11 Como perro que vuelve á su vómito, así el necio que repite su necedad.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his owne conceite? more hope is of a foole then of him.
12 ¿Has visto hombre sabio en su opinión? más esperanza hay del necio que de él.
13 The slouthfull man sayth, A lyon is in the way: a lyon is in the streetes.
13 Dice el perezoso: El león está en el camino; el león está en las calles.
14 As the doore turneth vpon his hinges, so doeth the slouthfull man vpon his bed.
14 Las puertas se revuelven en sus quicios: así el perezoso en su cama.
15 The slouthfull hideth his hand in his bosome, and it grieueth him to put it againe 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 owne conceite, then seuen men that can render a reason.
16 A su ver es el perezoso más sabio que siete que [le] den consejo.
17 He that passeth by and medleth with the strife that belongeth not vnto him, is as one that taketh a dog by the eares.
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 that faineth himselfe mad, casteth fire brands, arrowes, and mortall things,
18 Como el que enloquece, y echa llamas y saetas y muerte,
19 So dealeth the deceitfull man with his friend and sayth, Am not I in sport?
19 Tal es el hombre que daña á su amigo, y dice: Ciertamente me chanceaba.
20 Without wood the fire is quenched, and without a talebearer strife ceaseth.
20 Sin leña se apaga el fuego: y donde no hay chismoso, cesa la contienda.
21 As ye cole maketh burning coles, and wood a fire, so the contentious man is apt to kindle strife.
21 El carbón para brasas, y la leña para el fuego: y el hombre rencilloso para encender contienda.
22 The wordes of a tale bearer are as flatterings, and they goe downe into the bowels of the belly.
22 Las palabras del chismoso parecen blandas; mas ellas entran hasta lo secreto del vientre.
23 As siluer drosse ouerlayde vpon a potsheard, so are burning lips, and an euill heart.
23 [Como] escoria de plata echada sobre el tiesto, son los labios enardecidos y el corazón malo.
24 He that hateth, will counterfaite with his lips, but in his heart he layeth vp deceite.
24 Otro parece en los labios el que aborrece; mas en su interior pone engaño.
25 Though he speake fauourably, beleeue him not: for there are seuen abominations in his heart.
25 Cuando hablare amigablemente, no le creas; porque siete abominaciones hay en su corazón.
26 Hatred may be couered by deceite: but the malice thereof shall be discouered in the congregation.
26 Encúbrese el odio con disimulo; mas su malicia será descubierta en la congregación.
27 He that diggeth a pit shall fall therein, and he that rolleth a stone, it shall returne vnto him.
27 El que cavare sima, caerá en ella: y el que revuelva la piedra, á él volverá.
28 A false tongue hateth the afflicted, and a flattering mouth causeth ruine.
28 La falsa lengua atormenta al que aborrece: y la boca lisonjera hace resbaladero.
