WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)

1 If thou sit to sup at the table of a prince, consider attentively the things set before thee:

1 CUANDO te sentares á comer con algún señor, considera bien lo que estuviere delante de ti;

1 When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you;

2 and apply thine hand, knowing that it behoves thee to prepare such [meats]: but if thou art very insatiable,

2 Y pon cuchillo á tu garganta, si tienes gran apetito.

2 put a knife to your throat if you are a man given to appetite.

3 desire not his provisions; for these belong to a false life.

3 No codicies sus manjares delicados, porque es pan engañoso.

3 Don’t be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.

4 If thou art poor, measure not thyself with a rich man; but refrain thyself in thy wisdom.

4 No trabajes por ser rico; pon coto á tu prudencia.

4 Don’t weary yourself to be rich. In your wisdom, show restraint.

5 If thou shouldest fix thine eye upon him, he will disappear; for wings like an eagle's are prepared for him, and he returns to the house of his master.

5 ¿Has de poner tus ojos en las riquezas, siendo ningunas? porque hacerse han alas, como alas de águila, y volarán al cielo.

5 Why do you set your eyes on that which is not? For it certainly sprouts wings like an eagle and flies in the sky.

6 Sup not with an envious man, neither desire thou his meats:

6 No comas pan de [hombre de] mal ojo, ni codicies sus manjares:

6 Don’t eat the food of him who has a stingy eye, and don’t crave his delicacies,

7 so he eats and drinks as if any one should swallow a hair, and do not bring him in to thyself, nor eat thy morsel with him:

7 Porque cual es su pensamiento en su alma, tal es él. Come y bebe, te dirá; mas su corazón no está contigo.

7 for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

8 for he will vomit it up, and spoil thy fair words.

8 Vomitarás la parte que tú comiste, y perderás tus suaves palabras.

8 You will vomit up the morsel which you have eaten and waste your pleasant words.

9 Say nothing in the ears of a fool, lest at any time he sneer at thy wise words.

9 No hables á oídos del necio; porque menospreciará la prudencia de tus razones.

9 Don’t speak in the ears of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

10 Remove not the ancient landmarks; and enter not upon the possession of the fatherless:

10 No traspases el término antiguo, ni entres en la heredad de los huérfanos:

10 Don’t move the ancient boundary stone. Don’t encroach on the fields of the fatherless,

11 for the Lord is their redeemer; he is mighty, and will plead their cause with thee.

11 Porque el defensor de ellos es el Fuerte, el cual juzgará la causa de ellos contra ti.

11 for their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.

12 Apply thine heart to instruction, and prepare thine ears for words of discretion.

12 Aplica tu corazón á la enseñanza, y tus oídos á las palabras de sabiduría.

12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to the words of knowledge.

13 Refrain not from chastening a child; for if thou beat him with the rod, he shall not die.

13 No rehuses la corrección del muchacho: [porque] si lo hirieres con vara, no morirá.

13 Don’t withhold correction from a child. If you punish him with the rod, he will not die.

14 For thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from death.

14 Tú lo herirás con vara, y librarás su alma del infierno.

14 Punish him with the rod, and save his soul from Sheol.

15 Son, if thy heart be wise, thou shalt also gladden my heart;

15 Hijo mío, si tu corazón fuere sabio, también á mí se me alegrará el corazón;

15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine.

16 and thy lips shall converse with my lips, if they be right.

16 Mis entrañas también se alegrarán, cuando tus labios hablaren cosas rectas.

16 Yes, my heart will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

17 Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day.

17 No tenga tu corazón envidia de los pecadores, antes [persevera] en el temor de Jehová todo tiempo:

17 Don’t let your heart envy sinners, but rather fear Yahweh all day long.

18 For if thou shouldest keep these things, thou shalt have posterity; and thine hope shall not be removed.

18 Porque ciertamente hay fin, y tu esperanza no será cortada.

18 Indeed surely there is a future hope, and your hope will not be cut off.

19 Hear, [my] son, and be wise, and rightly direct the thoughts of thine heart.

19 Oye tú, hijo mío, y sé sabio, y endereza tu corazón al camino.

19 Listen, my son, and be wise, and keep your heart on the right path!

20 Be not a wine-bibber, neither continue long at feasts, and purchases of flesh:

20 No estés con los bebedores de vino, ni con los comedores de carne:

20 Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat;

21 for every drunkard and whoremonger shall be poor; and every sluggard shall clothe himself with tatters and ragged garments.

21 Porque el bebedor y el comilón empobrecerán: y el sueño hará vestir vestidos rotos.

21 for the drunkard and the glutton shall become poor; and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

22 Hearken, [my] son, to thy father which begot thee, and despise not [thy mother] because she is grown old.

22 Oye á tu padre, á aquel que te engendró; y cuando tu madre envejeciere, no la menosprecies. 23 Compra la verdad, y no la vendas; la sabiduría, la enseñanza, y la inteligencia.

22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old. 23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.

24 A righteous father brings up [his children] well; and his soul rejoices over a wise son.

24 Mucho se alegrará el padre del justo: y el que engendró sabio se gozará con él.

24 The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

25 Let thy father and thy mother rejoice over thee, and let her that bore thee be glad.

25 Alégrense tu padre y tu madre, y gócese la que te engendró.

25 Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!

26 [My] son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.

26 Dame, hijo mío, tu corazón, y miren tus ojos por mis caminos.

26 My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

27 For a strange house is a vessel full of holes; and a strange well is narrow.

27 Porque sima profunda es la ramera, y pozo angosto la extraña.

27 For a prostitute is a deep pit; and a wayward wife is a narrow well.

28 For such a one shall perish suddenly; and every transgressor shall be cut off.

28 También ella, como robador, acecha, y multiplica entre los hombres los prevaricadores.

28 Yes, she lies in wait like a robber, and increases the unfaithful among men.

29 Who [has] woe? who trouble? who [has] quarrels? and who vexations and disputes? who [has] bruises without a cause? whose eyes are livid?

29 ¿Para quién será el ay? ¿para quién el ay? ¿para quién las rencillas? ¿para quién las quejas? ¿para quién las heridas en balde? ¿para quién lo amoratado de los ojos?

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30 Are not those of them that stay long at wine? [are] not [those] of them that haunt [the places] where banquets are? Be not drunk with wine; but converse with just men, and converse [with them] openly.

30 Para los que se detienen mucho en el vino, para los que van buscando la mistura.

30 Those who stay long at the wine; those who go to seek out mixed wine.

31 For if thou shouldest set thine eyes on bowls and cups, thou shalt afterwards go more naked than a pestle.

31 No mires al vino cuando rojea, cuando resplandece su color en el vaso: éntrase suavemente;

31 Don’t look at the wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly.

32 But at last [such a one] stretches himself out as one smitten by a serpent, and venom is diffused through him as by a horned serpent.

32 [Mas] al fin como serpiente morderá, y como basilisco dará dolor:

32 In the end, it bites like a snake, and poisons like a viper.

33 Whenever thine eyes shall behold a strange woman, then thy mouth shall speak perverse things.

33 Tus ojos mirarán las extrañas, y tu corazón hablará perversidades.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will imagine confusing things.

34 And thou shalt lie as in the midst of the sea, and as a pilot in a great storm.

34 Y serás como el que yace en medio de la mar, ó como el que está en la punta de un mastelero.

34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the middle of the sea, or as he who lies on top of the rigging:

35 And thou shalt say, They smote me, and I was not pained; and they mocked me, and I knew it not: when will it be morning, that I may go and seek those with whom I may go in company?

35 [Y dirás]: Hiriéronme, mas no me dolió; azotáronme, mas no lo sentí; cuando despertare, aun lo tornaré á buscar.

35 “They hit me, and I was not hurt! They beat me, and I don’t feel it! When will I wake up? I can do it again. I will look for more.”
