Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), read by Joyfull · About the recordings
1 No tengas envidia de los malvados, ni desees su compañía,
1 Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;
2 porque ellos conspiran planes crueles y discuten entre ellos para causar tribulación.
2 for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.
3 Una casa se construye con sabiduría. Su fundamento seguro es la inteligencia.
3 Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
4 Sus habitaciones están llenas de conocimiento, con todo tipo de hermosos y valiosos objetos.
4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
5 Si tienes sabiduría, serás fuerte. Si tienes inteligencia, tu poder aumentará.
5 A wise man has great power. A knowledgeable man increases strength,
6 Porque con la guía correcta, podrás ir a la guerra, y serás victorioso si tienes muchos buenos consejeros.
6 for by wise guidance you wage your war, and victory is in many advisors.
7 La sabiduría examina las mentes de los tontos. Ellos no tienen nada que aportar en las discusiones sobre los asuntos importantes.
7 Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
8 Todo aquel que hace planes para hacer el mal, será considerado un problemático.
8 One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
9 Los planes que hacen los tontos son de pecado. Todos aborrecen a los que se burlan de otros.
9 The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
10 Si te rindes en el momento de la prueba, mostraras cuan débil eres.
10 If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
11 Rescata a los que son expulsados para ser ejecutados. Salva a los que desfallecen de camino a su muerte.
11 Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
12 Si dices: “No sabíamos nada sobre esto”, ¿no crees que el Dios que juzga las motivaciones no se dará cuenta de lo que ocurre realmente? El que te mira desde arriba lo sabe todo, y le pagará a todos según sus actos.
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, comer miel te conviene; el panal de miel tiene un dulce sabor.
13 My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
14 Del mismo modo, debes saber que te conviene la sabiduría; y que sin la encuentras habrá un futuro para ti que no será frustrado.
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 seas como el criminal que espera para entrar por sorpresa en las casas de las buenas personas. No ataques el lugar donde viven.
15 Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;
16 Los que hacen el bien podrán caer siete veces, y aun así se levantaran; pero el desastre vendrá para derribar a los malvados.
16 for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
17 No celebres cuando tu enemigo caiga. No te alegues cuando se tropiece,
17 Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,
18 porque puede que cuando el Señor lo note, se desagrade de ti y no lo castigue como lo había pensado.
18 lest Yahweh see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19 No te enojes por causa de los malvados, ni sientas celos por los que hacen el mal,
19 Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;
20 porque los malvados no tienen futuro. La lámpara de los malvados 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, honra al Señor y 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 el desastre vendrá sobre ellos repentinamente. ¿Quién podrá saber cómo los castigarán el Señor y el rey?
22 for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
23 Estos son más dichos del sabio: Mostrar preferencias cuando emites un juicio no es bueno.
23 These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
24 Los que le dicen al culpable: “Eres inocente”, serán malditos por el pueblo y odiados por la nación,
24 He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
25 pero los que condenan al culpable serán estimados, y recibirán rica bendición.
25 but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
26 Una respuesta honesta es como un beso en los labios.
26 An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
27 Haz primero el trabajo que necesitas hacer afuera y prepárate para sembrar tus campos. Solo después de eso, comienza a construir tu casa.
27 Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
28 No seas testigo contra tu prójimo sin tener una buena razón, ni digas mentiras.
28 Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.
29 No digas en tu pensamiento: “Voy a hacerle lo mismo que me hizo! ¡Haré que me pague por lo que ha hecho!”
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 Mientras caminaba, pasé por el campo del hombre perezoso, y por el viñedo de un insensato.
30 I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.
31 Y estaba lleno de monte y espinas, el suelo estaba cubierto de hierba y la piedra angular se había caído.
31 Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
32 Y mientras veía, pensé y aprendí una lección:
32 Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
33 Puedes decir: “Solo dormiré un poco más, me recostaré apenas un rato, y cruzaré mis brazos para descansar un poco más”,
33 a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
34 pero la pobreza te atacará como un ladrón, y la miseria como un guerrero 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 …
