Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Όστις αγαπά παιδείαν, αγαπά γνώσιν· αλλ' όστις μισεί έλεγχον, είναι άφρων.
1 EL que ama la corrección ama la sabiduría: mas el que aborrece la reprensión, es ignorante.
1 Whoever loves correction loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.
2 Ο καλός ευρίσκει χάριν παρά Κυρίου· τον δε μηχανευόμενον κακά θέλει καταδικάσει.
2 El bueno alcanzará favor de Jehová: mas él condenará al hombre de malos pensamientos.
2 A good man shall obtain favor from Yahweh, but he will condemn a man of wicked plans.
3 Δεν θέλει στερεωθή άνθρωπος διά της ανομίας· η ρίζα δε των δικαίων θέλει μένει ασάλευτος.
3 El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad: mas la raíz de los justos no será movida.
3 A man shall not be established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous shall not be moved.
4 Η ενάρετος γυνή είναι στέφανος εις τον άνδρα αυτής· η δε προξενούσα αισχύνην είναι ως σαπρία εις τα οστά αυτού.
4 La mujer virtuosa corona es de su marido: mas la mala, como carcoma en sus huesos.
4 A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a disgraceful wife is as rottenness in his bones.
5 Οι λογισμοί των δικαίων είναι ευθύτης· αι δε βουλαί των ασεβών δόλος.
5 Los pensamientos de los justos son rectitud; [mas] los consejos de los impíos, engaño.
5 The thoughts of the righteous are just, but the advice of the wicked is deceitful.
6 Οι λόγοι των ασεβών ενεδρεύουσιν αίμα· το δε στόμα των ευθέων θέλει ελευθερώσει αυτούς.
6 Las palabras de los impíos son para acechar la sangre: mas la boca de los rectos los librará.
6 The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
7 Οι ασεβείς καταστρέφονται και δεν υπάρχουσιν· ο οίκος δε των δικαίων θέλει διαμένει.
7 [Dios] trastornará á los impíos, y no serán más: mas la casa de los justos permanecerá.
7 The wicked are overthrown, and are no more, but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8 Ο άνθρωπος εγκωμιάζεται κατά την σύνεσιν αυτού· ο δε διεστραμμένος την καρδίαν θέλει είσθαι εις καταφρόνησιν.
8 Según su sabiduría es alabado el hombre: mas el perverso de corazón será en menosprecio.
8 A man shall be commended according to his wisdom, but he who has a warped mind shall be despised.
9 Καλήτερος ο άνθρωπος ο μη τιμώμενος και επαρκών εις εαυτόν, παρά ο κενοδοξών και στερούμενος άρτου.
9 Mejor es el que es menospreciado y tiene servidores, que el que se precia, y carece de pan.
9 Better is he who is little known, and has a servant, than he who honors himself and lacks bread.
10 Ο δίκαιος επιμελείται την ζωήν του κτήνους αυτού· τα δε σπλάγχνα των ασεβών είναι ανελεήμονα.
10 El justo atiende á la vida de su bestia: mas las entrañas de los impíos son crueles.
10 A righteous man respects the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11 Ο εργαζόμενος την γην αυτού θέλει χορτασθή άρτον· ο δε ακολουθών τους ματαιόφρονας είναι ενδεής φρενών.
11 El que labra su tierra, se hartará de pan: mas el que sigue los vagabundos es falto de entendimiento.
11 He who tills his land shall have plenty of bread, but he who chases fantasies is void of understanding.
12 Ο ασεβής ζητεί την υπεράσπισιν των κακών· αλλ' η ρίζα του δικαίου αναδίδει.
12 Desea el impío la red de los malos: mas la raíz de los justos dará [fruto].
12 The wicked desires the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
13 Δι' αμαρτίαν χειλέων παγιδεύεται ο ασεβής· ο δε δίκαιος εξέρχεται εκ στενοχωρίας.
13 El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
13 An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.
14 Εκ των καρπών του στόματος αυτού ο άνθρωπος θέλει εμπλησθή αγαθών· και η αμοιβή των χειρών του ανθρώπου θέλει επιστρέψει εις αυτόν.
14 El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.
15 Η οδός του άφρονος είναι ορθή εις τους οφθαλμούς αυτού· ο δε ακούων συμβουλάς είναι σοφός.
15 El camino del necio es derecho en su opinión: mas el que obedece al consejo es sabio.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.
16 Ο άφρων φανερόνει ευθύς την οργήν αυτού· ο δε φρόνιμος σκεπάζει το όνειδος αυτού.
16 El necio luego al punto da á conocer su ira: mas el que disimula la injuria es cuerdo.
16 A fool shows his annoyance the same day, but one who overlooks an insult is prudent.
17 Ο λαλών αλήθειαν αναγγέλλει το δίκαιον· ο δε ψευδομάρτυς δόλον.
17 El que habla verdad, declara justicia; mas el testigo mentiroso, engaño.
17 He who is truthful testifies honestly, but a false witness lies.
18 Ο φλύαρος είναι ως τραύματα μαχαίρας· η δε γλώσσα των σοφών, ίασις.
18 Hay quienes hablan como [dando] estocadas de espada: mas la lengua de los sabios es medicina.
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.
19 Τα χείλη της αληθείας θέλουσιν είσθαι σταθερά διαπαντός· η δε ψευδής γλώσσα μόνον στιγμιαία.
19 El labio de verdad permanecerá para siempre: mas la lengua de mentira por un momento.
19 Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary.
20 Δόλος είναι εν τη καρδία των μηχανευομένων κακά· ευφροσύνη δε εις τους βουλευομένους ειρήνην.
20 Engaño hay en el corazón de los que piensan mal: mas alegría en el de los que piensan bien.
20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil, but joy comes to the promoters of peace.
21 Ουδεμία βλάβη θέλει συμβή εις τον δίκαιον· οι δε ασεβείς θέλουσιν εμπλησθή κακών.
21 Ninguna adversidad acontecerá al justo: mas los impíos serán llenos de mal.
21 No mischief shall happen to the righteous, but the wicked shall be filled with evil.
22 Ψευδή χείλη βδέλυγμα εις τον Κύριον· οι δε ποιούντες αλήθειαν είναι δεκτοί εις αυτόν.
22 Los labios mentirosos son abominación á Jehová: mas los obradores de verdad su contentamiento.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.
23 Ο φρόνιμος άνθρωπος καλύπτει γνώσιν· η δε καρδία των αφρόνων διακηρύττει μωρίαν.
23 El hombre cuerdo encubre la ciencia: mas el corazón de los necios publica la necedad.
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge, but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
24 Η χειρ των επιμελών θέλει εξουσιάζει· οι δε οκνηροί θέλουσιν είσθαι υποτελείς.
24 La mano de los diligentes se enseñoreará: mas la negligencia será tributaria.
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, but laziness ends in slave labor.
25 Η λύπη εν τη καρδία του ανθρώπου ταπεινόνει αυτήν· ο δε καλός λόγος ευφραίνει αυτήν.
25 El cuidado congojoso en el corazón del hombre, lo abate; mas la buena palabra lo alegra.
25 Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.
26 Ο δίκαιος υπερέχει του πλησίον αυτού· η δε οδός των ασεβών πλανά αυτούς.
26 El justo hace ventaja á su prójimo: mas el camino de los impíos les hace errar.
26 A righteous person is cautious in friendship, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 Ο οκνηρός δεν επιτυγχάνει του θηράματος αυτού· τα δε υπάρχοντα του επιμελούς ανθρώπου είναι πολύτιμα.
27 El indolente no chamuscará su caza: mas el haber precioso del hombre [es] la diligencia.
27 The slothful man doesn’t roast his game, but the possessions of diligent men are prized.
28 Εν τη οδώ της δικαιοσύνης είναι ζωή· και η πορεία της οδού αυτής δεν φέρει εις θάνατον.
28 En el camino de la justicia está la vida; y la senda de su vereda no es muerte.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no 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).

    … God, knowing the denseness of the Israelites and their carnal love and propensity towards matter in everything, made this law: first, in order that the servant and the cattle should rest as it is written, for the righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: next, in order that when they take their ease from the distraction of material …
