WEB World English Bible (clásica, con deuterocanónicos)
1 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
1 CUANDO fueres á la casa de Dios, guarda tu pie; y acércate más para oir que para dar el sacrificio de los necios: porque no saben que hacen mal.
1 Guard your steps when you go to God’s house; for to draw near to listen is better than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they don’t know that they do evil.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter [any] thing before God: for God [is] in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
2 No te des priesa con tu boca, ni tu corazón se apresure á proferir palabra delante de Dios; porque Dios está en el cielo, y tú sobre la tierra: por tanto, sean pocas tus palabras.
2 Don’t be rash with your mouth, and don’t let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice [is known] by multitude of words.
3 Porque de la mucha ocupación viene el sueño, y de la multitud de las palabras la voz del necio.
3 For as a dream comes with a multitude of cares, so a fool’s speech with a multitude of words.
4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for [he hath] no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
4 Cuando á Dios hicieres promesa, no tardes en pagarla; porque no se agrada de los insensatos. Paga lo que prometieres.
4 When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow.
5 Better [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
5 Mejor es que no prometas, que no que prometas y no pagues.
5 It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
6 No sueltes tu boca para hacer pecar á tu carne; ni digas delante del ángel, que fué ignorancia. ¿Por qué [harás que] Dios se aire á causa de tu voz, y que destruya la obra de tus manos?
6 Don’t allow your mouth to lead you into sin. Don’t protest before the messenger that this was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?
7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words [there are] also [divers] vanities: but fear thou God.
7 Donde los sueños [son] en multitud, también [lo son] las vanidades y muchas las palabras; mas tú teme á Dios.
7 For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, as well as in many words; but you must fear God.
8 ¶ If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for [he that is] higher than the highest regardeth; and [there be] higher than they.
8 Si violencias de pobres, y extorsión de derecho y de justicia vieres en la provincia, no te maravilles de esta licencia; porque alto está mirando sobre alto, y [uno] más alto [está] sobre ellos.
8 If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.
9 ¶ Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king [himself] is served by the field.
9 Además el provecho de la tierra es para todos: el rey [mismo] está sujeto á los campos.
9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.
10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this [is] also vanity.
10 El que ama el dinero, no se hartará de dinero; y el que ama el mucho [tener], no [sacará] fruto. También esto es vanidad.
10 He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This also is vanity.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good [is there] to the owners thereof, saving the beholding [of them] with their eyes?
11 Cuando los bienes se aumentan, también se aumentan sus comedores. ¿Qué bien, pues, tendrá su dueño, sino ver[los] con sus ojos?
11 When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
12 The sleep of a labouring man [is] sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
12 Dulce es el sueño del trabajador, ora coma mucho ó poco; mas al rico no le deja dormir la hartura.
12 The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
13 There is a sore evil [which] I have seen under the sun, [namely], riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
13 Hay una trabajosa enfermedad que he visto debajo del sol: las riquezas guardadas de sus dueños para su mal;
13 There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: wealth kept by its owner to his harm.
14 But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and [there is] nothing in his hand.
14 Las cuales se pierden en malas ocupaciones, y á los hijos que engendraron nada les queda en la mano.
14 Those riches perish by misfortune, and if he has fathered a son, there is nothing in his hand.
15 As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
15 Como salió del vientre de su madre, desnudo, así se vuelve, tornando como vino; y nada tuvo de su trabajo para llevar en su mano.
15 As he came out of his mother’s womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
16 And this also [is] a sore evil, [that] in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
16 Este también es un gran mal, que como vino, así haya de volver. ¿Y de qué le aprovechó trabajar al viento?
16 This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?
17 All his days also he eateth in darkness, and [he hath] much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
17 Demás de esto, todos los días de su vida comerá en tinieblas, con mucho enojo y dolor y miseria.
17 All his days he also eats in darkness, he is frustrated, and has sickness and wrath.
18 ¶ Behold [that] which I have seen: [it is] good and comely [for one] to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it [is] his portion.
18 He aquí pues el bien que yo he visto: Que lo bueno es comer y beber, y gozar uno del bien de todo su trabajo con que se fatiga debajo del sol, todos los días de su vida que Dios le ha dado; porque esta es su parte.
18 Behold, that which I have seen to be good and proper is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, in which he labors under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; for this is his portion.
19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this [is] the gift of God.
19 Asimismo, á todo hombre á quien Dios dió riquezas y hacienda, y le dió también facultad para que coma de ellas, y tome su parte, y goce su trabajo; esto es don de Dios.
19 Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God.
20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth [him] in the joy of his heart.
20 Porque no se acordará mucho de los días de su vida; pues Dios le responderá con alegría de su corazón.
20 For he shall not often reflect on the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
