WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 My son, keep my teaching in your memory, and my rules in your heart:
1 HIJO mío, no te olvides de mi ley; y tu corazón guarde mis mandamientos:
1 My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.
2 Porque largura de días, y años de vida y paz te aumentarán.
2 for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
3 Let not mercy and good faith go from you; let them be hanging round your neck, recorded on your heart;
3 Misericordia y verdad no te desamparen; átalas á tu cuello, escríbelas en la tabla de tu corazón:
3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will have grace and a good name in the eyes of God and men.
4 Y hallarás gracia y buena opinión en los ojos de Dios y de los hombres.
4 So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Put all your hope in God, not looking to your reason for support.
5 Fíate de Jehová de todo tu corazón, y no estribes en tu prudencia.
5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways give ear to him, and he will make straight your footsteps.
6 Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Put no high value on your wisdom: let the fear of the Lord be before you, and keep yourself from evil:
7 No seas sabio en tu opinión: teme á Jehová, y apártate del mal;
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
8 This will give strength to your flesh, and new life to your bones.
8 Porque será medicina á tu ombligo, y tuétano á tus huesos.
8 It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
9 Give honour to the Lord with your wealth, and with the first-fruits of all your increase:
9 Honra á Jehová de tu sustancia, y de las primicias de todos tus frutos;
9 Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 So your store-houses will be full of grain, and your vessels overflowing with new wine.
10 Y serán llenas tus trojes con abundancia, y tus lagares rebosarán de mosto.
10 so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training:
11 No deseches, hijo mío, el castigo de Jehová; ni te fatigues de su corrección:
11 My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
12 For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain.
12 Porque al que ama castiga, como el padre al hijo á quien quiere.
12 for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy is the man who makes discovery of wisdom, and he who gets knowledge.
13 Bienaventurado el hombre que halla la sabiduría, y que obtiene la inteligencia:
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 For trading in it is better than trading in silver, and its profit greater than bright gold.
14 Porque su mercadería es mejor que la mercadería de la plata, y sus frutos más que el oro fino.
14 For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 She is of more value than jewels, and nothing for which you may have a desire is fair in comparison with her.
15 Más preciosa es que las piedras preciosas; y todo lo que puedes desear, no se puede comparar á ella.
15 She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.
16 Largura de días está en su mano derecha; en su izquierda riquezas y honra.
16 Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of delight, and all her goings are peace.
17 Sus caminos son caminos deleitosos, y todas sus veredas paz.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to all who take her in their hands, and happy is everyone who keeps her.
18 Ella es árbol de vida á los que de ella asen: y bienaventurados son los que la mantienen.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 The Lord by wisdom put in position the bases of the earth; by reason he put the heavens in their place.
19 Jehová con sabiduría fundó la tierra; afirmó los cielos con inteligencia.
19 By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 By his knowledge the deep was parted, and dew came dropping from the skies.
20 Con su ciencia se partieron los abismos, y destilan el rocío los cielos.
20 By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 My son, keep good sense, and do not let wise purpose go from your eyes.
21 Hijo mío, no se aparten [estas cosas] de tus ojos; guarda la ley y el consejo;
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 So they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.
22 Y serán vida á tu alma, y gracia á tu cuello.
22 so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
23 Then you will go safely on your way, and your feet will have no cause for slipping.
23 Entonces andarás por tu camino confiadamente, y tu pie no tropezará.
23 Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
24 When you take your rest you will have no fear, and on your bed sleep will be sweet to you.
24 Cuando te acostares, no tendrás temor; antes te acostarás, y tu sueño será suave.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Have no fear of sudden danger, or of the storm which will come on evil-doers:
25 No tendrás temor de pavor repentino, ni de la ruina de los impíos cuando viniere:
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
26 For the Lord will be your hope, and will keep your foot from being taken in the net.
26 Porque Jehová será tu confianza, y él preservará tu pie de ser preso.
26 for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 Do not keep back good from those who have a right to it, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
27 No detengas el bien de sus dueños, cuando tuvieres poder para hacerlo.
27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Say not to your neighbour, Go, and come again, and tomorrow I will give; when you have it by you at the time.
28 No digas á tu prójimo: Ve, y vuelve, y mañana [te] daré; cuando tienes contigo [qué darle].
28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
29 Do not make evil designs against your neighbour, when he is living with you without fear.
29 No intentes mal contra tu prójimo, estando él confiado de ti.
29 Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
30 Do not take up a cause at law against a man for nothing, if he has done you no wrong.
30 No pleitees con alguno sin razón, si él no te ha hecho agravio.
30 Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
31 Have no envy of the violent man, or take any of his ways as an example.
31 No envidies al hombre injusto, ni escojas alguno de sus caminos.
31 Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
32 For the wrong-hearted man is hated by the Lord, but he is a friend to the upright.
32 Porque el perverso es abominado de Jehová: mas su secreto es con los rectos.
32 For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.
33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the evil-doer, but his blessing is on the tent of the upright.
33 La maldición de Jehová está en la casa del impío; mas él bendecirá la morada de los justos.
33 Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 He makes sport of the men of pride, but he gives grace to the gentle-hearted.
34 Ciertamente él escarnecerá á los escarnecedores, y á los humildes dará gracia.
34 Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise will have glory for their heritage, but shame will be the reward of the foolish.
35 Los sabios heredarán honra: mas los necios sostendrán ignominia.
35 The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.

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).
"For God," saith [the Scripture], "resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." Let us cleave, then, to those to whom grace has been given by God.
By His knowledge the depths burst forth, and the clouds dropped down the dew." And again: "The Lord created me the beginning of His ways in His work: He set me up from everlasting, in the beginning, before He made the earth, before He established the depths, and before the fountains of waters gushed forth; before the mountains were made …
For Thou hast said unto man, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;" and desire not to seem wise, because, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." But I had now found the goodly pearl, which, selling all that I had, I ought to have bought; and I hesitated.

For thus saith the holy Word: "The Lord hath severely chastened me, yet hath not given me over to death." "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." "The righteous," saith it, "shall chasten me in mercy, and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners make fat my head." And again he …
