WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
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 Dreams follow many cares: and in many words shall be found folly.
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 If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it.
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 And it is much better not to vow, than after a vow not to perform the things promised.
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 Give not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin: and say not before the angel: There is no providence: lest God be angry at thy words, and destroy all the works of thy hands.
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 Where there are many dreams, there are many vanities, and words without number: but do thou fear God.
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 If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these:
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 Moreover there is the king that reigneth over all the land subject to him.
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 A covetous man shall not be satisfied with money: and he that loveth riches shall reap no fruit from them: so this also is vanity.
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 Where there are great riches, there are also many to eat them. And what doth it profit the owner, but that he seeth the riches with his eyes?
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 Sleep is sweet to a labouring man, whether he eat little or much: but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
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 There is also another grievous evil, which I have seen under the sun: riches kept to the hurt of the owner.
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 For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want.
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 As he came forth naked from his mother’s womb, so shall he return, and shall take nothing away with him of his labour.
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 A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind?
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 All the days of his life he eateth in darkness, and in many cares, and in misery, and sorrow.
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 This therefore hath seemed good to me, that a man should eat and drink, and enjoy the fruit of his labour, wherewith he hath laboured under the sun, all the days of his life, which God hath given him: and this is his portion.
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 And every man to whom God hath given riches, and substance, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to enjoy his portion, and to rejoice of his labour: this is the gift of God.
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 For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God entertaineth his heart with delight,
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. 20 Porque no se acordará mucho de los días de su vida; pues Dios le responderá con alegría de su corazón.
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 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
