WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 These are more proverbs of Solomon, collected by the scribes of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
1 TAMBIÉN estos son proverbios de Salomón, los cuales copiaron los varones de Ezechîas, rey de Judá.
1 These also are proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.
2 God's greatness is in doing things that can't be known, while the greatness of kings is in revealing things.
2 Gloria de Dios es encubrir la palabra; mas honra del rey es escudriñar la palabra.
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
3 Just as the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth can't be known, the king's thinking can't be known.
3 Para la altura de los cielos, y para la profundidad de la tierra, y para el corazón de los reyes, no hay investigación.
3 As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.
4 Remove the waste from the silver, and the silversmith has pure silver to work with.
4 Quita las escorias de la plata, y saldrá vaso al fundidor.
4 Take away the dross from the silver, and material comes out for the refiner.
5 Remove the wicked from the king's presence and the king will rule securely and justly.
5 Aparta al impío de la presencia del rey, y su trono se afirmará en justicia.
5 Take away the wicked from the king’s presence, and his throne will be established in righteousness.
6 Don't try to make yourself look great before the king, and don't pretend to be among the important people,
6 No te alabes delante del rey, ni estés en el lugar de los grandes:
6 Don’t exalt yourself in the presence of the king, or claim a place among great men;
7 for it's better to be told, “Come up here,” than to be humiliated before a nobleman. Even though you've seen something with your own eyes,
7 Porque mejor es que se te diga, Sube acá, que no que seas humillado delante del príncipe que miraron tus ojos.
7 for it is better that it be said to you, “Come up here,” than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, whom your eyes have seen.
8 don't rush to take legal action, for what are you going to do in the end when your neighbor shows you're wrong and humiliates you?
8 No salgas á pleito presto, no sea que no sepas qué hacer al fin, después que tu prójimo te haya dejado confuso.
8 Don’t be hasty in bringing charges to court. What will you do in the end when your neighbor shames you?
9 Discuss the case with your neighbor himself, and don't betray someone else's secret,
9 Trata tu causa con tu compañero y no descubras el secreto á otro.
9 Debate your case with your neighbor, and don’t betray the confidence of another,
10 otherwise whoever hears it will make you ashamed and you'll never lose your bad reputation.
10 No sea que te deshonre el que lo oyere, y tu infamia no pueda repararse.
10 lest one who hears it put you to shame, and your bad reputation never depart.
11 Advice given at the right time is like golden apples set in silver.
11 Manzana de oro con figuras de plata es la palabra dicha como conviene.
11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
12 Constructive criticism from the wise to someone who listens is like a gold ring and a necklace of fine gold.
12 [Como] zarcillo de oro y joyel de oro fino, es el que reprende al sabio que tiene oído dócil.
12 As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.
13 Faithful messengers are as refreshing to their master as cold snow on a hot harvest day.
13 Como frío de nieve en tiempo de la siega, [así es] el mensajero fiel á los que lo envían: pues al alma de su señor da refrigerio.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Someone who boasts about a gift they never give is like cloud and wind without rain.
14 [Como] nubes y vientos sin lluvia, [así es] el hombre que se jacta de vana liberalidad.
14 As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
15 If you're patient you can persuade your superior, and soft words can break down opposition.
15 Con larga paciencia se aplaca el príncipe; y la lengua blanda quebranta los huesos.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough, for if you eat too much, you'll be sick.
16 ¿Hallaste la miel? come lo que te basta; no sea que te hartes de ella, y la vomites.
16 Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
17 Don't set foot in your neighbors' homes too often, otherwise they'll get fed up with you and hate you.
17 Detén tu pie de la casa de tu vecino, porque harto de ti no te aborrezca.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
18 Telling lies in court against a friend is like attacking them with a mace, or a sword, or an arrow.
18 Martillo y cuchillo y saeta aguda, es el hombre que habla contra su prójimo falso testimonio.
18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19 Trusting in unreliable people in times of trouble is like eating with a broken tooth or walking on a bad foot.
19 Diente quebrado y pie resbalador, es la confianza en el prevaricador en tiempo de angustia.
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.
20 Singing happy songs to someone who's broken-hearted is like taking off your coat on a cold day, or pouring vinegar onto an open wound.
20 El que canta canciones al corazón afligido, [es como] el que quita la ropa en tiempo de frío, ó el que sobre el jabón [echa] vinagre.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him something to eat; if he's thirsty, give him a drink of water.
21 Si el que te aborrece tuviere hambre, dale de comer pan; y si tuviere sed, dale de beber agua:
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 This will make him ashamed as if he had burning coals piled on his head, and the Lord will reward you.
22 Porque ascuas allegas sobre su cabeza, y Jehová te lo pagará.
22 for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.
23 In the same way that the north wind brings rain, slandering people makes them angry.
23 El viento del norte ahuyenta la lluvia, y el rostro airado la lengua detractora.
23 The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24 It's better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
24 Mejor es estar en un rincón de casa, que con la mujer rencillosa en espaciosa casa.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
25 Good news from a distant country is like cold water to an exhausted traveler.
25 [Como] el agua fría al alma sedienta, así son las buenas nuevas de lejanas tierras.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 Good people who give in to the wicked are like a muddied spring or a polluted well.
26 [Como] fuente turbia y manantial corrompido, [es] el justo que cae delante del impío.
26 Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It's not good to eat too much honey, or to want too much praise.
27 Comer mucha miel no es bueno: ni el buscar la propia gloria es gloria.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
28 Someone without control is as exposed as a town whose walls have been breached.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
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. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
… that the enemy should not know when we do our alms, how shall we do with the enemy himself so as to fulfil that precept, "If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink"?
