Proverbios 18 Vulgata Clementina
Audio: Reina-Valera Antigua (RVA), leído por Joyfull · Sobre las grabaciones
1 [Occasiones quærit qui vult recedere ab amico: omni tempore erit exprobrabilis.
1 A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.
2 Non recipit stultus verba prudentiæ, nisi ea dixeris quæ versantur in corde ejus.
2 A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.
3 Impius, cum in profundum venerit peccatorum, contemnit; sed sequitur eum ignominia et opprobrium.
3 When wickedness comes, contempt also comes, and with shame comes disgrace.
4 Aqua profunda verba ex ore viri, et torrens redundans fons sapientiæ.
4 The words of a man’s mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.
5 Accipere personam impii non est bonum, ut declines a veritate judicii.]
5 To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.
6 [Labia stulti miscent se rixis, et os ejus jurgia provocat.
6 A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.
7 Os stulti contritio ejus, et labia ipsius ruina animæ ejus.
7 A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8 Verba bilinguis quasi simplicia, et ipsa perveniunt usque ad interiora ventris. Pigrum dejicit timor; animæ autem effeminatorum esurient.
8 The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.
9 Qui mollis et dissolutus est in opere suo frater est sua opera dissipantis.
9 One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.
10 Turris fortissima nomen Domini; ad ipsum currit justus, et exaltabitur.
10 Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.
11 Substantia divitis urbs roboris ejus, et quasi murus validus circumdans eum.
11 The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.
12 Antequam conteratur, exaltatur cor hominis, et antequam glorificetur, humiliatur.
12 Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.
13 Qui prius respondet quam audiat, stultum se esse demonstrat, et confusione dignum.
13 He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.
14 Spiritus viri sustentat imbecillitatem suam; spiritum vero ad irascendum facilem quis poterit sustinere?
14 A man’s spirit will sustain him in sickness, but a crushed spirit, who can bear?
15 Cor prudens possidebit scientiam, et auris sapientium quærit doctrinam.]
15 The heart of the discerning gets knowledge. The ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
16 [Donum hominis dilatat viam ejus, et ante principes spatium ei facit.
16 A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
17 Justus prior est accusator sui: venit amicus ejus, et investigabit eum.
17 He who pleads his cause first seems right— until another comes and questions him.
18 Contradictiones comprimit sors, et inter potentes quoque dijudicat.
18 The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart.
19 Frater qui adjuvatur a fratre quasi civitas firma, et judicia quasi vectes urbium.
19 A brother offended is more difficult than a fortified city. Disputes are like the bars of a fortress.
20 De fructu oris viri replebitur venter ejus, et genimina labiorum ipsius saturabunt eum.
20 A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied.
21 Mors et vita in manu linguæ; qui diligunt eam comedent fructus ejus.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.
22 Qui invenit mulierem bonam invenit bonum, et hauriet jucunditatem a Domino. Qui expellit mulierem bonam expellit bonum; qui autem tenet adulteram stultus est et impius.
22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh.
23 Cum obsecrationibus loquetur pauper, et dives effabitur rigide.
23 The poor plead for mercy, but the rich answer harshly.
24 Vir amabilis ad societatem magis amicus erit quam frater.]
24 A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

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).
For that is true which is written, "Pride goeth before destruction, and before honor is humility;" that is to say, secret ruin precedes open ruin, while the former is not counted ruin.

Defile it not therefore, lest to thee also He say, "Though ye make many prayers, I will not hearken." Yea, and "in the power of the tongue are death and life;" and, "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." I bid thee then watch thy tongue more than the apple of thine …

The hand of God he hath called the power of God: as hath been written in another place, "death and life are in the hands of the tongue." Hath the tongue hands?
