WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)

1 The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:

1 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the revelation: the man says to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal:

2 I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.

2 “Surely I am the most ignorant man, and don’t have a man’s understanding.

3 I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.

3 I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?

4 Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if you know?

5 Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.

5 “Every word of God is flawless. He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

6 Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:

6 Don’t you add to his words, lest he reprove you, and you be found a liar.

7 Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.

7 “Two things I have asked of you. Don’t deny me before I die.

8 Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:

8 Remove far from me falsehood and lies. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with the food that is needful for me,

9 Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.

9 lest I be full, deny you, and say, ‘Who is Yahweh?’ or lest I be poor, and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

10 Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.

10 “Don’t slander a servant to his master, lest he curse you, and you be held guilty.

11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

11 There is a generation that curses their father, and doesn’t bless their mother.

12 A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.

12 There is a generation that is pure in their own eyes, yet are not washed from their filthiness.

13 A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.

13 There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

14 A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.

14 There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

15 The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.

15 “The leech has two daughters: ‘Give, give.’ “There are three things that are never satisfied; four that don’t say, ‘Enough!’:

16 Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.

16 Sheol, the barren womb, the earth that is not satisfied with water, and the fire that doesn’t say, ‘Enough!’

17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.

17 “The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.

18 Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.

18 “There are three things which are too amazing for me, four which I don’t understand:

19 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.

19 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent on a rock, the way of a ship in the middle of the sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.

20 Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.

20 “So is the way of an adulterous woman: She eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

21 By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:

21 “For three things the earth trembles, and under four, it can’t bear up:

22 By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:

22 For a servant when he is king, a fool when he is filled with food,

23 By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.

23 for an unloved woman when she is married, and a servant who is heir to her mistress.

24 There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:

24 “There are four things which are little on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise:

25 The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:

25 The ants are not a strong people, yet they provide their food in the summer.

26 The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:

26 The hyraxes are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.

27 The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.

27 The locusts have no king, yet they advance in ranks.

28 The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.

28 You can catch a lizard with your hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.

29 There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:

29 “There are three things which are stately in their march, four which are stately in going:

30 A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:

30 The lion, which is mightiest among animals, and doesn’t turn away for any;

31 A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.

31 the greyhound; the male goat; and the king against whom there is no rising up.

32 There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.

32 “If you have done foolishly in lifting up yourself, or if you have thought evil, put your hand over your mouth.

33 And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.

33 For as the churning of milk produces butter, and the wringing of the nose produces blood, so the forcing of wrath produces strife.”
