1 These are more wise sayings of Solomon, copied out by the men of Hezekiah, king of Judah.

1 TAMBIÉN estos son proverbios de Salomón, los cuales copiaron los varones de Ezechîas, rey de Judá.

1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

2 It is the glory of God to keep a thing secret: but the glory of kings is to have it searched out.

2 Gloria de Dios es encubrir la palabra; mas honra del rey es escudriñar la palabra.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.

3 The heaven is high and the earth is deep, and the hearts of kings may not be searched out.

3 Para la altura de los cielos, y para la profundidad de la tierra, y para el corazón de los reyes, no hay investigación.

3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.

4 Take away the waste from silver, and a vessel will come out for the silver-worker.

6 Do not take glory for yourself before the king, and do not put yourself in the place of the great:

6 No te alabes delante del rey, ni estés en el lugar de los grandes:

6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;

7 For it is better to have it said to you, Come up here; than for you to be put down in a lower place before the ruler.

7 Porque mejor es que se te diga, Sube acá, que no que seas humillado delante del príncipe que miraron tus ojos.

7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.

8 Do not be quick to go to law about what you have seen, for what will you do in the end, when your neighbour has put you to shame?

8 No salgas á pleito presto, no sea que no sepas qué hacer al fin, después que tu prójimo te haya dejado confuso.

8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?

9 Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

9 Trata tu causa con tu compañero y no descubras el secreto á otro.

9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,

10 Or your hearer may say evil of you, and your shame will not be turned away.

10 No sea que te deshonre el que lo oyere, y tu infamia no pueda repararse.

10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.

12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

13 As the cold of snow in the time of grain-cutting, so is a true servant to those who send him; for he gives new life to the soul of his master.

13 Como frío de nieve en tiempo de la siega, [así es] el mensajero fiel á los que lo envían: pues al alma de su señor da refrigerio.

13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is one who takes credit for an offering he has not given.

14 [Como] nubes y vientos sin lluvia, [así es] el hombre que se jacta de vana liberalidad.

14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.

15 A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken.

15 Con larga paciencia se aplaca el príncipe; y la lengua blanda quebranta los huesos.

15 By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.

16 If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down.

17 Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour's house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate.

17 Detén tu pie de la casa de tu vecino, porque harto de ti no te aborrezca.

17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

18 One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow.

18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

19 Putting one's faith in a false man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a shaking foot.

19 Diente quebrado y pie resbalador, es la confianza en el prevaricador en tiempo de angustia.

19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.

20 Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.

20 El que canta canciones al corazón afligido, [es como] el que quita la ropa en tiempo de frío, ó el que sobre el jabón [echa] vinagre.

20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21 If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water:

21 Si el que te aborrece tuviere hambre, dale de comer pan; y si tuviere sed, dale de beber agua:

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward.

22 Porque ascuas allegas sobre su cabeza, y Jehová te lo pagará.

22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.

23 As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

23 El viento del norte ahuyenta la lluvia, y el rostro airado la lengua detractora.

23 The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

24 It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.

27 It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.

27 Comer mucha miel no es bueno: ni el buscar la propia gloria es gloria.

27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

28 He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.

28 [Como] ciudad derribada y sin muro, es el hombre cuyo espíritu no tiene rienda.

Lo que dijeron los Padres

Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.

Cómo se eligieron

«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).

Cita 25:21 Augustine of Hippo, Our Lord's Sermon on the Mount (Book II)
… that the enemy should not know when we do our alms, how shall we do with the enemy himself so as to fulfil that precept, "If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink"?
