Reina-Valera 1909
1Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
1MEJOR es el pobre que camina en su sencillez, que el de perversos labios y fatuo.
2Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
2El alma sin ciencia no es buena; y el presuroso de pies peca.
3The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
3La insensatez del hombre tuerce su camino; y contra Jehová se aira su corazón.
4Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
4Las riquezas allegan muchos amigos: mas el pobre, de su amigo es apartado.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
5El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras no escapará.
6Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
6Muchos rogarán al príncipe: mas cada uno es amigo del hombre que da.
7The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
7Todos los hermanos del pobre le aborrecen: ¡cuánto más sus amigos se alejarán de él! buscará la palabra y no la hallará.
8But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
8El que posee entendimiento, ama su alma: el que guarda la inteligencia, hallará el bien.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
9El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras, perecerá.
10Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
10No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
11The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
11La cordura del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
12As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
12Como el bramido del cachorro de león es la ira del rey; y su favor como el rocío sobre la hierba.
13A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
13Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer.
14House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
14La casa y las riquezas herencia son de los padres: mas de Jehová la mujer prudente.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15La pereza hace caer en sueño; y el alma negligente hambreará.
16He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
16El que guarda el mandamiento, guarda su alma: mas el que menospreciare sus caminos, morirá.
17He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
17A Jehová empresta el que da al pobre, y él le dará su paga.
18Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
18Castiga á tu hijo en tanto que hay esperanza; mas no se excite tu alma para destruirlo.
19He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
19El de grande ira llevará la pena: y si usa de violencias, añadirá nuevos males .
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
20Escucha el consejo, y recibe la corrección, para que seas sabio en tu vejez.
21There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
21Muchos pensamientos hay en el corazón del hombre; mas el consejo de Jehová permanecerá.
22A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
22Contentamiento es á los hombres hacer misericordia: pero mejor es el pobre que el mentiroso.
23The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
23El temor de Jehová es para vida; y con él vivirá el hombre , lleno de reposo; no será visitado de mal.
24The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
24El perezoso esconde su mano en el seno: aun á su boca no la llevará.
25The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
25Hiere al escarnecedor, y el simple se hará avisado; y corrigiendo al entendido, entenderá ciencia.
26He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
26El que roba á su padre y ahuyenta á su madre, hijo es avergonzador y deshonrador.
27Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
27Cesa, hijo mío, de oir la enseñanza que induce á divagar de las razones de sabiduría.
28An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28El testigo perverso se burlará del juicio; y la boca de los impíos encubrirá la iniquidad.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
29Aparejados están juicios para los escarnecedores, y azotes para los cuerpos de los insensatos.
