WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 No envidies a los malvados, no busques su compañía;
1 Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;
2 pues se pasan el tiempo tramando violencia y no hablan más que de buscar problemas.
2 for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.
3 Con sabiduría se construye la casa y con inteligencia sus cimientos;
3 Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
4 con conocimiento se llenan sus cuartos de toda clase de riquezas y cosas valiosas.
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
5 El hombre sabio es más poderoso que el hombre fuerte.
5 A wise man has great power. A knowledgeable man increases strength,
6 La guerra se hace con buena estrategia, la victoria se alcanza con muchos consejeros.
6 for by wise guidance you wage your war, and victory is in many advisors.
7 La sabiduría no es para el necio, que en la asamblea del pueblo nada tiene que decir.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
8 Al que planea perversidades, le llaman intrigante.
8 One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
9 Los planes del necio son pecado, y todos desprecian al insolente.
9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
10 Si te desanimas cuando estás en medio de muchos problemas, es que no tienes mucha fortaleza.
10 If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
11 Rescata a los que van rumbo a la muerte, detén a los que a tumbos avanzan al sepulcro.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
12 Pues aunque digas que no sabías nada, el que conoce los corazones, el que vigila tu vida, sí lo sabrá. Él paga a cada uno según sus obras.
12 If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?
13 Hijo mío, come miel, porque es buena; la miel del panal es dulce a tu paladar.
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
14 Así de dulce sea la sabiduría a tu alma; si das con ella, tendrás buen futuro; tendrás una esperanza que no será destruida.
14 so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.
15 No hagas planes malvados en contra de la casa del justo, ni acabes con la casa donde él vive;
15 Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;
16 porque puede que caigan siete veces, pero cada vez que caigan se levantarán; pero a los malvados les bastará una sola caída para hundirse en la desgracia.
16 for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 No te alegres cuando tu enemigo caiga, ni dejes que tu corazón se regocije cuando tropiece,
17 Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,
18 porque el Señor verá lo que pasa y no le agradará, y apartará su enojo de él.
18 lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 No te alteres por causa de los malvados, ni sientas envidia de los impíos,
19 Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;
20 porque no hay futuro para el malvado, su lámpara se apagará.
20 for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
21 Hijo mío, teme al Señor y honra al rey, y no te juntes con los rebeldes.
21 My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,
22 Porque de repente les vendrá el desastre; ¡y quién sabe cuál será el castigo del Señor y del rey!
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
23 También estos son dichos de los sabios: Es malo mostrar favor hacia alguien en el juicio.
23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 Al que dice al culpable: «Eres inocente», lo maldecirán los pueblos y las naciones.
24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
25 Pero se derramarán bendiciones sobre el que condene al culpable.
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
26 La respuesta sincera es como el beso en los labios.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Prepara primero tus faenas de cultivo y ten listos tus campos para la siembra; después de eso, construye tu casa.
27 Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
28 No testifiques sin ninguna causa contra tu prójimo ni digas mentiras.
28 Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.
29 No digas, «¡Ahora me desquitaré de todo el mal que me hizo!».
29 Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
30 Pasé junto al campo del perezoso, junto a la viña del que no tiene sentido común.
30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.
31 Había espinas por todas partes; la hierba cubría el terreno, y su cerca de piedras estaba derrumbada.
31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Entonces, mientras miraba y pensaba en esto, aprendí esta lección:
32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
33 Un poquito más de sueño, otra pequeña siesta, cruza los brazos para descansar…
33 a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
34 ¡y te asaltará la pobreza como un ladrón, y la escasez como un bandido armado!
34 so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.

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).
On this account it is often put for all numbers together, as, "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again," --that is, let him fall never so often, he will not perish (and this was meant to be understood not of sins, but of afflictions conducing to lowliness).

For no other reason it was said, "a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:" that is, the just man perisheth not, though brought low in every way, yet not induced to transgress, otherwise he will not be just.

But "God strengtheneth." For "the just falleth seven times, and riseth again; but the wicked shall be weakened in evils." When evils befall the wicked, they are weakened thereby; when evils befall the righteous, "the Lord strengtheneth all that are falling."..."And lifteth up all those that have been cast down:" all, that is, who belong to him; for "God resisteth …
