WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 My son, don't forget my instructions. Always keep my commands in mind.
1 HIJO mío, no te olvides de mi ley; y tu corazón guarde mis mandamientos:
1 My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 Then you will live a long time, and have a full life.
2 Porque largura de días, y años de vida y paz te aumentarán.
2 for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
3 Hold on to kindness and truth. Tie them around your neck; write them in your mind.
3 Misericordia y verdad no te desamparen; átalas á tu cuello, escríbelas en la tabla de tu corazón:
3 Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 That way you'll gain a good reputation and be appreciated by both God and people.
4 Y hallarás gracia y buena opinión en los ojos de Dios y de los hombres.
4 So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 Put your trust totally in the Lord—don't rely on what you think you know!
5 Fíate de Jehová de todo tu corazón, y no estribes en tu prudencia.
5 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
6 Remember him in everything you do, and he'll show you the right way.
6 Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Don't think you're wise—respect God and avoid evil.
7 No seas sabio en tu opinión: teme á Jehová, y apártate del mal;
7 Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.
8 Then you will be healed and made strong.
8 Porque será medicina á tu ombligo, y tuétano á tus huesos.
8 It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all the crops you grow.
9 Honra á Jehová de tu sustancia, y de las primicias de todos tus frutos;
9 Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
10 Then your barns will be filled with produce, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10 Y serán llenas tus trojes con abundancia, y tus lagares rebosarán de mosto.
10 so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 My son, don't reject the Lord's discipline or resent it when he corrects you,
11 No deseches, hijo mío, el castigo de Jehová; ni te fatigues de su corrección:
11 My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
12 for the Lord corrects those he loves, as a father corrects a son who pleases him.
12 Porque al que ama castiga, como el padre al hijo á quien quiere.
12 for whom Yahweh loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
13 Happy are those who find wisdom and gain understanding,
13 Bienaventurado el hombre que halla la sabiduría, y que obtiene la inteligencia:
13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 for wisdom is worth more than silver, and pays better than gold.
14 Porque su mercadería es mejor que la mercadería de la plata, y sus frutos más que el oro fino.
14 For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 She is more valuable than rubies—everything you could ever want just doesn't compare!
15 Más preciosa es que las piedras preciosas; y todo lo que puedes desear, no se puede comparar á ella.
15 She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 She offers long life in one hand, and riches and honor in the other.
16 Largura de días está en su mano derecha; en su izquierda riquezas y honra.
16 Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 She brings true happiness, and leads to peaceful prosperity.
17 Sus caminos son caminos deleitosos, y todas sus veredas paz.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18 Wisdom is a tree of life to everyone who embraces her, blessing those who accept her.
18 Ella es árbol de vida á los que de ella asen: y bienaventurados son los que la mantienen.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
19 It was through wisdom that the Lord created the earth, and through understanding he set the heavens in place.
19 Jehová con sabiduría fundó la tierra; afirmó los cielos con inteligencia.
19 By wisdom Yahweh founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 It was through his knowledge the waters of the deep were broken open, and the clouds sent down the dew.
20 Con su ciencia se partieron los abismos, y destilan el rocío los cielos.
20 By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 My son, hold on to good judgment and wise decisions—don't let them out of your sight,
21 Hijo mío, no se aparten [estas cosas] de tus ojos; guarda la ley y el consejo;
21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 for they will be life to you, and an ornament for your neck.
22 Y serán vida á tu alma, y gracia á tu cuello.
22 so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
23 You will be able to walk confidently on your way, and you won't trip up.
23 Entonces andarás por tu camino confiadamente, y tu pie no tropezará.
23 Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
24 When you rest, you won't be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
24 Cuando te acostares, no tendrás temor; antes te acostarás, y tu sueño será suave.
24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 You won't be afraid of a sudden panic, or of disasters that hit the wicked,
25 No tendrás temor de pavor repentino, ni de la ruina de los impíos cuando viniere:
25 Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
26 for the Lord will be the one you can trust in, and he will prevent you being caught in a trap.
26 Porque Jehová será tu confianza, y él preservará tu pie de ser preso.
26 for Yahweh will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 Don't hold back good from those who deserve it when it's something you have the power to do.
27 No detengas el bien de sus dueños, cuando tuvieres poder para hacerlo.
27 Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Don't tell your neighbor, “Go away. Come back tomorrow and then I'll give it to you,” when you've already got it.
28 No digas á tu prójimo: Ve, y vuelve, y mañana [te] daré; cuando tienes contigo [qué darle].
28 Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
29 Don't plan to harm your neighbor who lives nearby and trusts you.
29 No intentes mal contra tu prójimo, estando él confiado de ti.
29 Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
30 Don't quarrel with anybody for no reason, when they haven't done anything to hurt you.
30 No pleitees con alguno sin razón, si él no te ha hecho agravio.
30 Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
31 Don't be jealous of violent people—don't choose to follow their example!
31 No envidies al hombre injusto, ni escojas alguno de sus caminos.
31 Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
32 For the Lord hates deceitful people, but he is a friend to those who do what is good.
32 Porque el perverso es abominado de Jehová: mas su secreto es con los rectos.
32 For the perverse is an abomination to Yahweh, but his friendship is with the upright.
33 The houses of the wicked are cursed by the Lord, but he blesses the homes of those who live right.
33 La maldición de Jehová está en la casa del impío; mas él bendecirá la morada de los justos.
33 Yahweh’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 He mocks those who mock, but he is kind to the humble.
34 Ciertamente él escarnecerá á los escarnecedores, y á los humildes dará gracia.
34 Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
35 The wise will receive honor, but fools are held up in disgrace.
35 Los sabios heredarán honra: mas los necios sostendrán ignominia.
35 The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.

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).
"For God," saith [the Scripture], "resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." Let us cleave, then, to those to whom grace has been given by God.
By His knowledge the depths burst forth, and the clouds dropped down the dew." And again: "The Lord created me the beginning of His ways 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 …
For Thou hast said unto man, "Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;" and desire not to seem wise, because, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools." But I had now found the goodly pearl, which, selling all that I had, I ought to have bought; and I hesitated.

For thus saith the holy Word: "The Lord hath severely chastened me, yet hath not given me over to death." "For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." "The righteous," saith it, "shall chasten me in mercy, and reprove me; but let not the oil of sinners make fat my head." And again he …
