WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?
1 ¿NO clama la sabiduría, y da su voz la inteligencia?
1 Doesn’t wisdom cry out? Doesn’t understanding raise her voice?
2 Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.
2 En los altos cabezos, junto al camino, á las encrucijadas de las veredas se para;
2 On the top of high places by the way, where the paths meet, she stands.
3 Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
3 En el lugar de las puertas, á la entrada de la ciudad, á la entrada de las puertas da voces:
3 Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, at the entry doors, she cries aloud:
4 O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
4 Oh hombres, á vosotros clamo; y mi voz es á los hijos de los hombres.
4 “I call to you men! I send my voice to the sons of mankind.
5 O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.
5 Entended, simples, discreción; y vosotros, locos, entrad en cordura.
5 You simple, understand prudence! You fools, be of an understanding heart!
6 Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.
6 Oid, porque hablaré cosas excelentes; y abriré mis labios para cosas rectas.
6 Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.
7 My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.
7 Porque mi boca hablará verdad, y la impiedad abominan mis labios.
7 For my mouth speaks truth. Wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
8 En justicia son todas las razones de mi boca; no hay en ellas cosa perversa ni torcida.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.
9 They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
9 Todas ellas son rectas al que entiende, y razonables á los que han hallado sabiduría.
9 They are all plain to him who understands, right to those who find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.
10 Recibid mi enseñanza, y no plata; y ciencia antes que el oro escogido.
10 Receive my instruction rather than silver, knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.
11 Porque mejor es la sabiduría que las piedras preciosas; y todas las cosas que se pueden desear, no son de comparar con ella.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.
12 Yo, la sabiduría, habito con la discreción, y hallo la ciencia de los consejos.
12 “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion.
13 The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
13 El temor de Jehová es aborrecer el mal; la soberbia y la arrogancia, y el mal camino y la boca perversa, aborrezco.
13 The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth.
14 Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
14 Conmigo está el consejo y el ser; yo soy la inteligencia; mía es la fortaleza.
14 Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power.
15 By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
15 Por mí reinan los reyes, y los príncipes determinan justicia.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
16 Por mí dominan los príncipes, y todos los gobernadores juzgan la tierra.
16 By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.
17 I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.
17 Yo amo á los que me aman; y me hallan los que madrugando me buscan.
17 I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.
18 Las riquezas y la honra están conmigo; sólidas riquezas, y justicia.
18 With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity.
19 For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
19 Mejor es mi fruto que el oro, y que el oro refinado; y mi rédito [mejor] que la plata escogida.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, my yield than choice silver.
20 I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
20 Por vereda de justicia guiaré, por en medio de sendas de juicio;
20 I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice,
21 That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
21 Para hacer heredar á mis amigos el ser, y que yo hincha sus tesoros.
21 that I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
22 Jehová me poseía en el principio de su camino, ya de antiguo, antes de sus obras.
22 “Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.
23 I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
23 Eternalmente tuve el principado, desde el principio, antes de la tierra.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth existed.
24 The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
24 Antes de los abismos fuí engendrada; antes que fuesen las fuentes de las muchas aguas.
24 When there were no depths, I was born, when there were no springs abounding with water.
25 The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
25 Antes que los montes fuesen fundados, antes de los collados, era yo engendrada:
25 Before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was born;
26 He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.
26 No había aún hecho la tierra, ni las campiñas, ni el principio del polvo del mundo.
26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:
27 Cuando formaba los cielos, allí estaba yo; cuando señalaba por compás la sobrefaz del abismo;
27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,
28 When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:
28 Cuando afirmaba los cielos arriba, cuando afirmaba las fuentes del abismo;
28 when he established the clouds above, when the springs of the deep became strong,
29 When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;
29 Cuando ponía á la mar su estatuto, y á las aguas, que no pasasen su mandamiento; cuando establecía los fundamentos de la tierra;
29 when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,
30 I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
30 Con él estaba yo ordenándolo todo; y fuí [su] delicia todos los días, teniendo solaz delante de él en todo tiempo.
30 then I was the craftsman by his side. I was a delight day by day, always rejoicing before him,
31 Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
31 Huélgome en la parte habitable de su tierra; y mis delicias son con los hijos de los hombres.
31 rejoicing in his whole world. My delight was with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
32 Ahora pues, hijos, oidme; y bienaventurados los que guardaren mis caminos.
32 “Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
33 Atended el consejo, y sed sabios, y no lo menospreciéis.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise. Don’t refuse it.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
34 Bienaventurado el hombre que me oye, velando á mis puertas cada día, guardando los umbrales de mis entradas.
34 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts.
35 He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
35 Porque el que me hallare, hallará la vida, y alcanzará el favor de Jehová.
35 For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh.
36 But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.
36 Mas el que peca contra mí, defrauda su alma: todos los que me aborrecen, aman la muerte.
36 But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”

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.

… 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 strong, and before all the hills, He brought me forth." And again: "When He prepared the heaven, I was with Him, and when He established …
"Who shall deliver him from the body of this death," but Thy grace only, "through Jesus Christ our Lord,'" whom Thou hast begotten co-eternal, and createdst in the beginning of Thy ways, in whom the Prince of this world found nothing worthy of death, yet killed he Him, and the handwriting which was contrary to us was blotted out?

In their eyes the following is only too ready to hand "The Lord created me at the beginning of His ways with a view to His works." How shall we meet this?

But others, though future, are put in the past tense, as, for instance, This is our God: Therefore He was seen upon the earth and dwelt among men, and The Lord created me in the beginning of His ways for His works, and Wherefore God, thy God, anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows, and such …
