WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 He that loveth his son, frequently chastiseth him, that he may rejoice in his latter end, and not grope after the doors of his neighbours.
1 He who loves his son will continue to lay stripes upon him, that he may have joy from him in the end.
2 He that instructeth his son shall be praised in him, and shall glory in him in the midst of them of his household.
2 He who chastises his son will have profit from him, and will brag about him among his acquaintances.
3 He that teacheth his son, maketh his enemy jealous, and in the midst of his friends he shall glory in him.
3 He who teaches his son will provoke his enemy to jealousy. Before friends, he will rejoice in him.
4 His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.
4 His father dies, and is as though he had not died; for he has left one behind him like himself.
5 While he lived he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died he was not sorrowful, neither was he confounded before his enemies.
5 In his life, he saw his son and rejoiced. When he died, it was without regret.
6 For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends.
6 He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one to repay kindness to his friends.
7 For the souls of his sons he shall bind up his wounds, and at every cry his bowels shall be troubled.
7 He who makes too much of his son will bind up his wounds. His heart will be troubled at every cry.
8 A horse not broken becometh stubborn, and a child left to himself will become headstrong.
8 An unbroken horse becomes stubborn. An unrestrained son becomes headstrong.
9 Give thy son his way, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he shall make thee sorrowful.
9 Pamper your child, and he will make you afraid. Play with him, and he will grieve you.
10 Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow, and at the last thy teeth be set on edge.
10 Don’t laugh with him, lest you have sorrow with him, and you gnash your teeth in the end.
11 Give him not liberty in his youth, and wink not at his devices.
11 Give him no liberty in his youth, and don’t ignore his follies.
12 Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat his sides while he is a child, lest he grow stubborn, and regard thee not, and so be a sorrow of heart to thee.
12 Bow down his neck in his youth, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he become stubborn, and be disobedient to you, and there be sorrow to your soul.
13 Instruct thy son, and labour about him, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence to thee.
13 Chastise your son, and give him work, lest his shameless behavior be an offense to you.
14 Better is a poor man who is sound, and strong of constitution, than a rich man who is weak and afflicted with evils.
14 Better is a poor man who is healthy and fit, than a rich man who is afflicted in his body.
15 Health of the soul in holiness of justice, is better then all gold and silver: and a sound body, than immense revenues.
15 Health and fitness are better than all gold, and a strong body better than wealth without measure.
16 There is no riches above the riches of the health of the body: and there is no pleasure above the joy of the heart.
16 There is no wealth better than health of body. There is no gladness above the joy of the heart.
17 Better is death than a bitter life: and everlasting rest, than continual sickness.
17 Death is better than a bitter life, and eternal rest than a continual sickness.
18 Good things that are hidden in a mouth that is shut, are as masses of meat set about a grave.
18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed are like food offerings laid upon a grave.
19 What good shall an offering do to an idol? for it can neither eat, nor smell:
19 What does an offering profit an idol? For it can’t eat or smell. So is he who is punished by the Lord,
20 So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:
20 seeing with his eyes and groaning, like a eunuch embracing a virgin and groaning.
21 He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.
21 Don’t give your soul to sorrow. Don’t afflict yourself deliberately.
22 Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
22 Gladness of heart is the life of a man. Cheerfulness of a man lengthens his days.
23 The joyfulness of the heart, is the life of a man, and a never failing treasure of holiness: and the joy of a man is length of life.
23 Love your own soul, and comfort your heart. Remove sorrow far from you, for sorrow has destroyed many, and there is no profit in it.
24 Have pity on thy own soul, pleasing God, and contain thyself: gather up thy heart in his holiness: and drive away sadness far from thee.
24 Envy and wrath shorten life. Anxiety brings old age before its time.
25 For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it.
25 Those who are cheerful and merry will benefit from their food.
26 Envy and anger shorten a man’s days, and pensiveness will bring old age before the time.

What mean pedagogues, masters, the birch, the strap, the cane, the schooling which Scripture says must be given a child, "beating him on the sides lest he wax stubborn," and it be hardly possible or not possible at all to subdue him?

… spares it not, preserves." To which effect also a certain wise man said, "If thou beat thy son with a rod, he shall not die, but thou shalt deliver his soul from death." And again, "He that refresheth his son, shall bind up his wounds." This takes place in the camp also.
