LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Υἱὲ φύλασσε ἐμοὺς λόγους, τὰς δὲ ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς κρύψον παρὰ σεαυτῷ·
1 HIJO mío, guarda mis razones, y encierra contigo mis mandamientos.
1 My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
1a Υἱὲ τίμα τὸν Κύριον καὶ ἰσχύσεις, πλὴν δὲ αὐτοῦ μὴ φοβοῦ ἄλλον·
·
·
2 φύλαξον ἐμὰς ἐντολὰς καὶ βιώσεις, τοὺς δὲ ἐμοὺς λόγους ὥσπερ κόρας ὀμμάτων.
2 Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos.
2 Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3 Περίθου δὲ αὐτοὺς σοῖς δακτύλοις, ἐπίγραψον δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ πλάτος τῆς καρδίας σου.
3 Lígalos á tus dedos; escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón.
3 Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Εἰπὸν τὴν σοφίαν σὴν ἀδελφὴν εἶναι, τὴν δὲ φρόνησιν γνώριμον περιποίησαι σεαυτῷ.
4 Di á la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; y á la inteligencia llama parienta:
4 Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
5 Ἵνα σε τηρήσῃ ἀπὸ γυναικὸς ἀλλοτρίας καὶ πονηρᾶς, ἐάν σε λόγοις τοῖς πρὸς χάριν ἐμβάληται.
5 Para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6 Ἀπὸ γὰρ θυρίδος ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς εἰς τὰς πλατείας παρακύπτουσα,
6 Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa, por mi celosía,
6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
7 ὃν ἂν ἴδῃ τῶν ἀφρόνων τέκνων νεανίαν ἐνδεῆ φρενῶν,
7 Vi entre los simples, consideré entre los jóvenes, un mancebo falto de entendimiento,
7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8 παραπορευόμενον παρὰ γωνίαν ἐν διόδοις οἴκων αὐτῆς, καὶ λαλοῦντα
8 El cual pasaba por la calle, junto á la esquina de aquella, é iba camino de su casa,
8 passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
9 ἐν σκότει ἑσπερινῷ, ἡνίκα ἂν ἡσυχία νυκτερινὴ καὶ γνοφώδης,
9 A la tarde del día, ya que oscurecía, en la oscuridad y tiniebla de la noche.
9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10 ἡ δὲ γυνὴ συναντᾷ αὐτῷ, εἶδος ἔχουσα πορνικὸν, ἣ ποιεῖ νέων ἐξίπτασθαι καρδίας.
10 Y he aquí, una mujer que le sale al encuentro con atavío de ramera, astuta de corazón,
10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
11 Ἀνεπτερωμένη δέ ἐστι καὶ ἄσωτος, ἐν οἴκῳ δὲ οὐχ ἡσυχάζουσιν οἱ πόδες αὐτῆς.
11 Alborotadora y rencillosa, sus pies no pueden estar en casa;
11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
12 Χρόνον γάρ τινα ἔξω ῥέμβεται, χρόνον δὲ ἐν πλατείαις παρὰ πᾶσαν γωνίαν ἐνεδρεύει.
12 Unas veces de fuera, ó bien por las plazas, acechando por todas las esquinas.
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
13 Εἶτα ἐπιλαβομένη ἐφίλησεν αὐτὸν, ἀναιδεῖ δὲ προσώπῳ προσεῖπεν αὐτῷ,
13 Y traba de él, y bésalo; desvergonzó su rostro, y díjole:
13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14 θυσία εἰρηνική μοι ἐστὶ, σήμερον ἀποδίδωμι τὰς εὐχάς μου.
14 Sacrificios de paz había prometido, hoy he pagado mis votos;
14 “Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
15 Ἕνεκα τούτου ἐξῆλθον εἰς συνάντησίν σοι, ποθοῦσα τὸ σὸν πρόσωπον, εὕρηκά σε.
15 Por tanto he salido á encontrarte, buscando diligentemente tu rostro, y te he hallado.
15 Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
16 κειρίαις τέτακα τὴν κλίνην μου, ἀμφιτάποις δὲ ἔστρωκα τοῖς ἀπʼ Αἰγύπτου.
16 Con paramentos he ataviado mi cama, recamados con cordoncillo de Egipto.
16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
17 Διέῤῥαγκα τὴν κοίτην μου κροκίνῳ, τὸν δὲ οἶκόν μου κινναμώμῳ·
17 He sahumado mi cámara con mirra, áloes, y cinamomo.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Ἐλθὲ καὶ ἀπολαύσωμεν φιλίας ἕως ὄρθρου, δεῦρο καὶ ἐλκυλισθῶμεν ἔρωτι.
18 Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana; alegrémonos en amores.
18 Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
19 Οὐ γὰρ πάρεστιν ὁ ἀνήρ μου ἐν οἴκω, πεπόρευται δὲ ὁδὸν μακράν,
19 Porque el marido no está en casa, hase ido á un largo viaje:
19 For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
20 ἔνδεσμον ἀργυρίου λαβὼν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ, διʼ ἡμερῶν πολλῶν ἐπανήξει εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
20 El saco de dinero llevó en su mano; el día señalado volverá á su casa.
20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
21 Ἀπεπλάνησε δὲ αὐτὸν πολλῇ ὁμιλίᾳ, βρόχοις τε τοῖς ἀπὸ χειλέων ἐξώκειλεν αὐτόν.
21 Rindiólo con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, obligóle con la blandura de sus labios.
21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22 Ὁ δὲ ἐπηκολούθησεν αὐτῇ κεπφωθείς· ὥσπερ δὲ βοῦς ἐπὶ σφαγὴν ἄγεται, καὶ ὥσπερ κύων ἐπὶ δεσμοὺς,
22 Vase en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco á las prisiones para ser castigado;
22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
23 ἢ ὡς ἔλαφος τοξεύματι πεπληγὼς εἰς τὸ ἧπαρ· σπεύδει δὲ ὥσπερ ὄρνεον εἰς παγίδα, οὐκ εἰδὼς ὅτι περὶ ψυχῆς τρέχει.
23 Como el ave que se apresura al lazo, y no sabe que es contra su vida, hasta que la saeta traspasó su hígado.
23 Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
24 Νῦν οὖν υἱὲ ἄκουέ μου, καὶ πρόσεχε ῥήμασι στόματός μου.
24 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y estad atentos á las razones de mi boca.
24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25 Μὴ ἐκκλινάτω εἰς τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῆς ἡ καρδία σου,
25 No se aparte á sus caminos tu corazón; no yerres en sus veredas.
25 Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
26 πολλοὺς γὰρ τρώσασα καταβέβληκε, καὶ ἀναρίθμητοί εἰσιν οὓς πεφόνευκεν.
26 Porque á muchos ha hecho caer heridos; y aun los más fuertes han sido muertos por ella.
26 for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
27 Ὁδοὶ ᾅδου ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, κατάγουσαι εἰς τὰ ταμιεῖα τοῦ θανάτου.
27 Caminos del sepulcro son su casa, que descienden á las cámaras de la muerte.
27 Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.

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).

    Take heed then, brethren, and hold fast the traditions which ye now receive, and write them an the table of your heart.
