WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 When you sit down for a meal with a ruler, look carefully at what is placed before you,
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 cut down if you have a big appetite.
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 Don't be greedy for his fancy food, for it's offered with deceptive motives.
3 No codicies sus manjares delicados, porque es pan engañoso.
3 Don’t be desirous of his dainties, since they are deceitful food.
4 Don't wear yourself out trying to get rich—be wise enough not to bother!
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 It disappears in the blink of an eye, suddenly growing wings and flying off into the sky like an eagle.
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 Don't accept meal invitations from miserly people; don't be greedy for their fancy food,
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 for what they're thinking inside is what they really are. They say, “Come on, eat and drink!”—but in their minds they don't really care about you.
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 You'll vomit up the little pieces you've eaten, and your kind words of appreciation will be wasted.
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 Don't talk to stupid people because they'll ridicule your 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 Don't move ancient boundary markers, and don't encroach on fields belonging to orphans,
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 their Protector is powerful and he will plead their case against you.
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 Focus your mind on instruction; listen intently to words of knowledge.
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 Don't keep from disciplining your children—a beating won't kill them.
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 If you use physical correction you can save them 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 My son, if you think wisely then I'll be happy;
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 I'll be delighted when you say what's 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 Don't think enviously of sinners, but always remember to honor the Lord,
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 there's definitely a future for you, and your hope will not be crushed.
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 Pay attention, my son, and be wise; make sure your mind concentrates on following the right way.
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 Don't join in with people who drink too much wine or who stuff themselves with meat.
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 people who get drunk and overeat lose all they've got, and they spend so much time dozing that all they have left to wear is rags.
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 Pay attention to your father, and don't disregard your mother when she's old.
22 Oye á tu padre, á aquel que te engendró; y cuando tu madre envejeciere, no la menosprecies.
22 Listen to your father who gave you life, and don’t despise your mother when she is old.
23 Invest in truth—and don't sell it! Invest in wisdom, instruction, and understanding.
23 Compra la verdad, y no la vendas; la sabiduría, la enseñanza, y la inteligencia.
23 Buy the truth, and don’t sell it. Get wisdom, discipline, and understanding.
24 Children who do right make their fathers very happy; a wise son brings joy to his father.
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 Make your father and mother happy; bring joy to her who gave birth to you.
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 your undivided attention, and cheerfully follow my example.
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 A prostitute is like being trapped in a pit; an immoral woman is like getting stuck a narrow well,
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 Like a robber, she lies in wait ready to ambush men and make more of them unfaithful to their wives.
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's in trouble? Who's in pain? Who's arguing? Who's complaining? Who's injured for no reason? Who's got bloodshot eyes?
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 —those who spend a long time drinking wine, those who are always trying some new cocktail.
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 Don't let the look of wine tempt you—how red it is, how it sparkles in the cup, how smooth it feels as it goes down.
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 In the end it bites like a serpent, it stings like a snake.
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 You'll hallucinate, seeing strange things, and your confused mind will make you say all kinds of craziness.
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 You'll stumble around like you're on the rolling ocean, you'll be tossed about like someone lying down at the top of a ship's mast, saying,
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 “People punched me, but it didn't hurt me; they beat me, but I didn't feel a thing. I've got to get up because I need another drink.”
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.”
