1 Estas son las palabras del Rey Lemuel, un oráculo, enseñado por su madre.
1 The words of King Lemuel—the revelation which his mother taught him:
2 ¿Qué podré enseñarte, hijo mío? Mi hijo a quien parí; el hijo que nació como respuesta a mis votos.
2 “Oh, my son! Oh, son of my womb! Oh, son of my vows!
3 No desperdicies tu fuerza durmiendo con mujeres; con esas que hacen caer a los reyes.
3 Don’t give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings.
4 Lemuel, no es digno de los reyes beber vino, ni de los gobernantes beber alcohol.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to say, ‘Where is strong drink?’
5 Porque si beben, olvidarán la ley, y pervertirán los derechos de los que sufren.
5 lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the justice due to anyone who is afflicted.
6 Dale alcohol a los que están muriendo, y vino a los que están sufriendo angustia.
6 Give strong drink to him who is ready to perish, and wine to the bitter in soul.
7 Déjalos que beban para que olviden su pobreza, y para que no recuerden más sus problemas.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Habla en favor de los que no tienen voz, y lucha por los derechos de los marginados de la sociedad.
8 Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.
9 Habla sin temor y juzga con honestidad, defiende a los pobres y desposeídos.
9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”
10 ¿Quién podrá encontrar a una mujer fuerte y capaz? ¡Una mujer así es más valiosa que muchas joyas!
10 Who can find a worthy woman? For her value is far above rubies.
11 Su esposo tiene plena confianza en ella, y a su lado este hombre nunca empobrecerá.

14 She is like the merchant ships. She brings her bread from afar.
15 Se levanta antes del amanecer para preparar el desayuno para su familia, y para preparar el trabajo de sus siervas.

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her:
29 “Muchas mujeres hacen grandes cosas, ¡pero tú eres mejor que todas ellas!”
29 “Many women do noble things, but you excel them all.”
30 El encanto es engañoso, y la belleza se desvanece; pero la mujer que honra al Señor merece ser alabada.
30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised.
31 Dale el reconocimiento que se merece; alábala públicamente por lo que ha hecho.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands! Let her works praise her in the gates!

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).
And mercy is in His tongue, therefore mercifully teacheth He the law, as it is said regarding wisdom, "The law and mercy doth she carry in her tongue." Do not fear that thou art not able to fulfill the law, flee to mercy.
