WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Es mejor comer un pan duro en paz que tener banquete con pleitos.
1 Better is a dry morsel with quietness, than a house full of feasting with strife.
2 El siervo sabio gobernará al hijo sinvergüenza y compartirá la herencia con los otros hermanos.
2 A servant who deals wisely will rule over a son who causes shame, and shall have a part in the inheritance among the brothers.
3 La plata y el oro se prueban con el fuego, pero al corazón lo prueba el Señor.
3 The refining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold, but Yahweh tests the hearts.
4 El malvado escucha los labios malvados, el mentiroso hace caso a la lengua maliciosa.
4 An evildoer heeds wicked lips. A liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
5 El que se burla del pobre ofende a su Creador; el que se alegra de su desgracia será castigado.
5 Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker. He who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished.
6 Los nietos son la corona del anciano; los padres el orgullo de sus hijos.
6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; the glory of children is their parents.
7 No es de esperarse que el rebelde diga la verdad ni que los reyes digan mentiras.
7 Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.
8 El soborno parece funcionar como vara mágica para el que lo ofrece, pues todo lo que emprende lo consigue.
8 A bribe is a precious stone in the eyes of him who gives it; wherever he turns, he prospers.
9 El que perdona la ofensa conserva el amor; el que insiste en ella, separa a los mejores amigos.
9 He who covers an offense promotes love; but he who repeats a matter separates best friends.
10 Es más efectivo un solo regaño al hombre entendido, que cien azotes en la espalda del necio.
10 A rebuke enters deeper into one who has understanding than a hundred lashes into a fool.
11 El rebelde sólo busca pelea, pero contra él enviarán un cruel mensajero.
11 An evil man seeks only rebellion; therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.
12 Es mejor toparse con un oso enfurecido, que con un necio atrapado en su necedad.
12 Let a bear robbed of her cubs meet a man, rather than a fool in his folly.
13 Si pagas mal por bien, el mal nunca se apartará de tu casa.
13 Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14 Empezar una pelea es como abrir las compuertas de un río; así que mejor no la empieces.
14 The beginning of strife is like breaching a dam, therefore stop contention before quarreling breaks out.
15 El Señor aborrece que se perdone al culpable y se condene al inocente.
15 He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.
16 ¿De qué le sirve al necio tener dinero? ¿Podría comprar con eso sabiduría, si no tiene entendimiento?
16 Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?
17 El verdadero amigo siempre ama, y en tiempos de necesidad es como un hermano.
17 A friend loves at all times; and a brother is born for adversity.
18 El que es imprudente se compromete y se hace responsable por otro.
18 A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes collateral in the presence of his neighbor.
19 Al que le gusta pecar, le gusta pelear; el que abre mucho la boca, busca que se la rompan.
19 He who loves disobedience loves strife. One who builds a high gate seeks destruction.
20 El hombre de corazón perverso jamás prospera; el de lengua mentirosa caerá en desgracia.
20 One who has a perverse heart doesn’t find prosperity, and one who has a deceitful tongue falls into trouble.
21 Es doloroso ser el padre de un necio; no hay alegría en ser el padre de un tonto.
21 He who becomes the father of a fool grieves. The father of a fool has no joy.
22 El corazón alegre es una buena medicina, pero el ánimo triste debilita el cuerpo.
22 A cheerful heart makes good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
23 El malvado acepta soborno en secreto para torcer la justicia.
23 A wicked man receives a bribe in secret, to pervert the ways of justice.
24 La meta del prudente es la sabiduría; el necio divaga contemplando vanos horizontes.
24 Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.
25 El hijo necio causa dolor a su padre y amargura a su madre.
25 A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.
26 No está bien multar al inocente, ni castigar al honorable por su rectitud.
26 Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.
27 El sabio habla poco y el inteligente se sabe controlar.
27 He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.
28 Hasta un necio pasa por sabio si guarda silencio; se le considera prudente si cierra la boca.
28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
