LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Φεύγει ἀσεβὴς μηδενὸς διώκοντος, δίκαιος δὲ ὥσπερ λέων πέποιθε.
1 HUYE el impío sin que nadie lo persiga: mas el justo está confiado como un leoncillo.
1 The wicked flee when no one pursues; but the righteous are as bold as a lion.
2 Διʼ ἁμαρτίας ἀσεβῶν κρίσεις ἐγείρονται, ἀνὴρ δὲ πανοῦργος κατασβέσει αὐτάς.
2 Por la rebelión de la tierra sus príncipes son muchos: mas por el hombre entendido y sabio permanecerá sin mutación.
2 In rebellion, a land has many rulers, but order is maintained by a man of understanding and knowledge.
3 Ἀνδρεῖος ἐν ἀσεβείαις συκοφαντεῖ πτωχούς· ὥσπερ ὑετὸς λάβρος καὶ ἀνωφελὴς,
3 El hombre pobre y robador de los pobres, es lluvia de avenida y sin pan.
3 A needy man who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain which leaves no crops.
4 οὕτως οἱ ἐγκαταλείποντες τὸν νόμον ἐγκωμιάζουσιν ἀσέβειαν· οἱ δὲ ἀγαπῶντες τὸν νόμον, περιβάλλουσιν ἑαυτοῖς τεῖχος.
4 Los que dejan la ley, alaban á los impíos: mas los que la guardan, contenderán con ellos.
4 Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.
5 Ἄνδρες κακοὶ οὐ συνήσουσι κρίμα, οἱ δὲ ζητοῦντες τὸν Κύριον συνήσουσιν ἐν παντί.
5 Los hombres malos no entienden el juicio: mas los que buscan á Jehová, entienden todas las cosas.
5 Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.
6 Κρείσσων πτωχὸς πορευόμενος ἐν ἀληθείᾳ, πλουσίου ψευδοῦς.
6 Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad, que el de perversos caminos, y rico.
6 Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his ways, and he is rich.
7 Φυλάσσει νόμον υἱὸς συνετὸς, ὃς δὲ ποιμαίνει ἀσωτίαν ἀτιμάζει πατέρα.
7 El que guarda la ley es hijo prudente: mas el que es compañero de glotones, avergüenza á su padre.
7 Whoever keeps the law is a wise son; but he who is a companion of gluttons shames his father.
8 Ὁ πληθύνων τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ μετὰ τόκων καὶ πλεονασμῶν, τῷ ἐλεῶντι πτωχοὺς συνάγει αὐτόν.
8 El que aumenta sus riquezas con usura y crecido interés, para que se dé á los pobres lo allega.
8 He who increases his wealth by excessive interest gathers it for one who has pity on the poor.
9 Ὁ ἐκκλίνων τὸ οὖς αὐτοῦ μὴ εἰσακοῦσαι νόμου, καὶ αὐτὸς τὴν προσευχὴν αὐτοῦ ἐβδέλυκται.
9 El que aparta su oído para no oir la ley, su oración también es abominable.
9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.
10 Ὃς πλανᾷ εὐθεῖς ἐν ὁδῷ κακῇ, εἰς διαφθορὰν αὐτὸς ἐμπεσεῖται· οἱ δὲ ἄνομοι διελεύσονται ἀγαθὰ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς αὐτά.
10 El que hace errar á los rectos por el mal camino, él caerá en su misma sima: mas los perfectos heredarán el bien.
10 Whoever causes the upright to go astray in an evil way, he will fall into his own trap; but the blameless will inherit good.
11 Σοφὸς παρʼ ἑαυτῷ ἀνὴρ πλούσιος, πένης δὲ νοήμων καταγνώσεται αὐτοῦ.
11 El hombre rico es sabio en su opinión: mas el pobre entendido lo examinará.
11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.
12 Διὰ βοήθειαν δικαίων πολλὴ γίνεται δόξα, ἐν δὲ τόποις ἀσεβῶν ἁλίσκονται ἄνθρωποι.
12 Cuando los justos se alegran, grande es la gloria; mas cuando los impíos son levantados, es buscado el hombre.
12 When the righteous triumph, there is great glory; but when the wicked rise, men hide themselves.
13 Ὁ ἐπικαλύπτων ἀσέβειαν ἑαυτοῦ οὐκ εὐοδωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ἐξηγούμενος ἐλέγχους ἀγαπηθήσεται.
13 El que encubre sus pecados, no prosperará: mas el que los confiesa y se aparta, alcanzará misericordia.
13 He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
14 Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς καταπτήσσει πάντα διʼ εὐλάβειαν, ὁ δὲ σκληρὸς τὴν καρδίαν ἐμπεσεῖται κακοῖς.
14 Bienaventurado el hombre que siempre está temeroso: mas el que endurece su corazón, caerá en mal.
14 Blessed is the man who always fears; but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.
15 Λέων πεινῶν καὶ λύκος διψῶν, ὃς τυραννεῖ, πτωχὸς ὢν, ἔθνους πενιχροῦ.
15 León rugiente y oso hambriento, [es] el príncipe impío sobre el pueblo pobre.
15 As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.
16 Βασιλεὺς ἐνδεὴς προσόδων μέγας συκοφάντης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν ἀδικίαν μακρὸν χρόνον ζήσεται.
16 El príncipe falto de entendimiento multiplicará los agravios: [mas] el que aborrece la avaricia, prolongará sus días.
16 A tyrannical ruler lacks judgment. One who hates ill-gotten gain will have long days.
17 Ἄνδρα τὸν ἐν αἰτίᾳ φόνου ὁ ἐγγυώμενος, φυγὰς ἔσται καὶ οὐκ ἐν ἀσφαλείᾳ·
17 El hombre que hace violencia con sangre de persona, huirá hasta el sepulcro, y nadie le detendrá.
17 A man who is tormented by blood guilt will be a fugitive until death. No one will support him.
17a παίδευε υἱὸν καὶ ἀγαπήσει σε, καὶ δώσει κόσμον τῇ σῇ ψυχῇ, οὐ μὴ ὑπακούσει ἔθνει παρανόμῳ.

18 Ὁ πορευόμενος δικαίως βεβοήθηται, ὁ δὲ σκολιαῖς ὁδοῖς πορευόμενος ἐμπλακήσεται.
18 El que en integridad camina, será salvo; mas el de perversos caminos caerá en alguno.
18 Whoever walks blamelessly is kept safe; but one with perverse ways will fall suddenly.
19 Ὁ ἐργαζόμενος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γῆν πλησθήσεται ἄρτων, ὁ δὲ διώκων σχολὴν πλησθήσεται πενίας.
19 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los ociosos, se hartará de pobreza.
19 One who works his land will have an abundance of food; but one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.
20 Ἀνὴρ ἀξιόπιστος πολλὰ εὐλογηθήσεται, ὁ δὲ κακὸς οὐκ ἀτιμώρητος ἔσται.
20 El hombre de verdad tendrá muchas bendiciones: mas el que se apresura á enriquecer, no será sin culpa.
20 A faithful man is rich with blessings; but one who is eager to be rich will not go unpunished.
21 Ὃς οὐκ αἰσχύνεται πρόσωπα δικαίων, οὐκ ἀγαθὸς, ὁ τοιοῦτος ψωμοῦ ἄρτου ἀποδώσεται ἄνδρα.
21 Tener acepción de personas, no es bueno: hasta por un bocado de pan prevaricará el hombre.
21 To show partiality is not good, yet a man will do wrong for a piece of bread.
22 Σπεύδει πλουτεῖν ἀνὴρ βάσκανος, καὶ οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι ἐλεήμων κρατήσει αὐτοῦ.
22 Apresúrase á ser rico el hombre de mal ojo; y no conoce que le ha de venir pobreza.
22 A stingy man hurries after riches, and doesn’t know that poverty waits for him.
23 Ὁ ἐλέγχων ἀνθρώπου ὁδοὺς, χάριτας ἕξει μᾶλλον τοῦ γλωσσοχαριτοῦντος.
23 El que reprende al hombre, hallará después mayor gracia que el que lisonjea con la lengua.
23 One who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor than one who flatters with the tongue.
24 Ὃς ἀποβάλλεται πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, καὶ δοκεῖ μὴ ἁμαρτάνειν, οὗτος κοινωνός ἐστιν ἀνδρὸς ἀσεβοῦς.
24 El que roba á su padre ó á su madre, y dice que no es maldad, compañero es del hombre destruidor.
24 Whoever robs his father or his mother and says, “It’s not wrong,” is a partner with a destroyer.
25 Ἄπιστος ἀνὴρ κρίνει εἰκῆ, ὃς δὲ πέποιθεν ἐπὶ Κύριον ἐν ἐπιμελείᾳ ἔσται.
25 El altivo de ánimo suscita contiendas: mas el que en Jehová confía, medrará.
25 One who is greedy stirs up strife; but one who trusts in Yahweh will prosper.
26 Ὃς πέποιθε θρασείᾳ καρδίᾳ, ὁ τοιοῦτος ἄφρων, ὃς δὲ πορεύεται σοφίᾳ σωθήσεται.
26 El que confía en su corazón es necio; mas el que camina en sabiduría, será salvo.
26 One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
27 Ὃς δίδωσι πτωχοῖς οὐκ ἐνδεηθήσεται, ὃς δὲ ἀποστρέφει τὸν ὀφθαλμὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν πολλῇ ἀπορίᾳ ἔσται.
27 El que da al pobre, no tendrá pobreza: mas el que aparta sus ojos, tendrá muchas maldiciones.
27 One who gives to the poor has no lack; but one who closes his eyes will have many curses.
28 Ἐν τόποις ἀσεβῶν στένουσι δίκαιοι, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐκείνων ἀπωλείᾳ πληθυνθήσονται δίκαιοι.
28 Cuando los impíos son levantados, esconderáse el hombre: mas cuando perecen, los justos se multiplican.
28 When the wicked rise, men hide themselves; but when they perish, the righteous thrive.

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 …
