WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Put your feet down with care when you go to the house of God, for it is better to give ear than to make the burned offerings of the foolish, whose knowledge is only of doing evil.
1 CUANDO fueres á la casa de Dios, guarda tu pie; y acércate más para oir que para dar el sacrificio de los necios: porque no saben que hacen mal.
1 Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.
2 Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth — so let not the number of your words be great.
2 No te des priesa con tu boca, ni tu corazón se apresure á proferir palabra delante de Dios; porque Dios está en el cielo, y tú sobre la tierra: por tanto, sean pocas tus palabras.
2 Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
3 As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.
3 Porque de la mucha ocupación viene el sueño, y de la multitud de las palabras la voz del necio.
3 For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.
4 When you take an oath before God, put it quickly into effect, because he has no pleasure in the foolish; keep the oath you have taken.
4 Cuando á Dios hicieres promesa, no tardes en pagarla; porque no se agrada de los insensatos. Paga lo que prometieres.
4 When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.
5 It is better not to take an oath than to take an oath and not keep it.
5 Mejor es que no prometas, que no que prometas y no pagues.
5 It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
6 Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.
6 No sueltes tu boca para hacer pecar á tu carne; ni digas delante del ángel, que fué ignorancia. ¿Por qué [harás que] Dios se aire á causa de tu voz, y que destruya la obra de tus manos?
6 Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.
7 Donde los sueños [son] en multitud, también [lo son] las vanidades y muchas las palabras; mas tú teme á Dios.
7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words; but you must fear God.
8 If you see the poor under a cruel yoke, and law and right being violently overturned in a country, be not surprised, because one authority is keeping watch on another and there are higher than they.
8 Si violencias de pobres, y extorsión de derecho y de justicia vieres en la provincia, no te maravilles de esta licencia; porque alto está mirando sobre alto, y [uno] más alto [está] sobre ellos.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.
9 It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.
9 Además el provecho de la tierra es para todos: el rey [mismo] está sujeto á los campos.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.
10 He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.
10 El que ama el dinero, no se hartará de dinero; y el que ama el mucho [tener], no [sacará] fruto. También esto es vanidad.
10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
11 When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?
11 Cuando los bienes se aumentan, también se aumentan sus comedores. ¿Qué bien, pues, tendrá su dueño, sino ver[los] con sus ojos?
11 When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
12 The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.
12 Dulce es el sueño del trabajador, ora coma mucho ó poco; mas al rico no le deja dormir la hartura.
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
13 There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun — wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.
13 Hay una trabajosa enfermedad que he visto debajo del sol: las riquezas guardadas de sus dueños para su mal;
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
14 And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.
14 Las cuales se pierden en malas ocupaciones, y á los hijos que engendraron nada les queda en la mano.
14 Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.
15 Como salió del vientre de su madre, desnudo, así se vuelve, tornando como vino; y nada tuvo de su trabajo para llevar en su mano.
15 As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?
16 Este también es un gran mal, que como vino, así haya de volver. ¿Y de qué le aprovechó trabajar al viento?
16 This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?
17 All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.
17 Demás de esto, todos los días de su vida comerá en tinieblas, con mucho enojo y dolor y miseria.
17 All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.
18 This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.
18 He aquí pues el bien que yo he visto: Que lo bueno es comer y beber, y gozar uno del bien de todo su trabajo con que se fatiga debajo del sol, todos los días de su vida que Dios le ha dado; porque esta es su parte.
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.
19 Asimismo, á todo hombre á quien Dios dió riquezas y hacienda, y le dió también facultad para que coma de ellas, y tome su parte, y goce su trabajo; esto es don de Dios.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
20 He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.
20 Porque no se acordará mucho de los días de su vida; pues Dios le responderá con alegría de su corazón.
20 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
