WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Hijo mío, obedece mis palabras y atesora mis mandamientos.
1 My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
2 Obedece mis mandamientos y vivirás; cuida mis enseñanzas como la niña de tus ojos.
2 Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
3 Átalos a tus dedos, grábalos en lo profundo de tu corazón.
3 Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Ama la sabiduría como a una hermana, y a la inteligencia como a un pariente tuyo.
4 Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
5 Ellas te librarán de la mujer infiel y de la adúltera y de sus palabras seductoras.
5 that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
6 Miraba yo por la ventana de mi casa, a través de la celosía,
6 For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
7 a unos jóvenes sin experiencia, y entre ellos me fijé en un joven falto de sentido común.
7 I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
8 Cruzó la calle al llegar a la esquina, y caminó hacia la casa de esa mujer.
8 passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
9 Empezaba a oscurecer, el día llegaba a su fin.
9 in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
10 Entonces la mujer se le acercó, vestida seductoramente y actuando con astucia.
10 Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
11 Escandalosa y desvergonzada, que no puede quedarse en su casa.
11 She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
12 Que anda por las calles y por las plazas buscando atrapar a alguien en las esquinas.
12 Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
13 Lo abrazó por el cuello, lo besó, y con descaro le dijo:
13 So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
14 «He ofrecido sacrificios de paz, y acabo de cumplir mis votos.
14 “Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
15 Por eso salí a tu encuentro, te busqué, ¡y te he encontrado!
15 Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
16 Mi cama está tendida con sábanas del mejor lino importado de Egipto,
16 I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
17 la he perfumado con mirra, áloe y canela.
17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18 Ven, hagamos el amor hasta que llegue el nuevo día,
18 Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
19 pues mi esposo no está en casa, anda en un largo viaje;
19 For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
20 se ha llevado una bolsa llena de dinero, y no regresará hasta el día de la luna llena».
20 He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
21 Con palabras suaves la mujer infiel convenció a ese jovencito; lo sedujo con halagos y mimos.
21 With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
22 En un momento él la siguió, como el buey que va camino al matadero, como ciervo que cae en la trampa,
22 He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
23 en espera de la flecha que le partirá el corazón; como el ave que va directo a la red, sin darse cuenta que ahí perderá la vida.
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 Escúchame, hijo mío, y pon atención a mis palabras.
24 Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
25 No dejes que tu corazón se desvíe hacia ella; ni te pierdas en sus caminos;
25 Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
26 porque muchos han muerto por causa suya; muchos hombres han sido sus víctimas.
26 for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
27 Su casa es la puerta por la que llegas rápido a 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.
