Reina-Valera 1909
1A good name is better than great riches: and good favour is above silver and gold.
1DE más estima es la buena fama que las muchas riquezas; y la buena gracia más que la plata y el oro.
2The rich and poor have met one another: the Lord is the maker of them both.
2El rico y el pobre se encontraron: á todos ellos hizo Jehová.
3The prudent man saw the evil, and hid himself: the simple passed on, and suffered loss.
3El avisado ve el mal, y escóndese: mas los simples pasan, y reciben el daño.
4The fruit of humility is the fear of the Lord, riches and glory and life.
4Riquezas, y honra, y vida, son la remuneración de la humildad y del temor de Jehová.
5Arms and swords are in the way of the perverse: but he that keepeth his own soul departeth far from them.
5Espinas y lazos hay en el camino del perverso: el que guarda su alma se alejará de ellos.
6It is a proverb: A young man according to his way, even when he is old he will not depart from it.
6Instruye al niño en su carrera: aun cuando fuere viejo no se apartará de ella.
7The rich ruleth over the poor: and the borrower is servant to him that lendeth.
7El rico se enseñoreará de los pobres; y el que toma prestado, siervo es del que empresta.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap evils, and with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed.
8El que sembrare iniquidad, iniquidad segará: y consumiráse la vara de su ira.
9He that is inclined to mercy shall be blessed: for of his bread he hath given to the poor. He that maketh presents shall purchase victory and honour: but he carrieth away the souls of the receivers.
9El ojo misericordioso será bendito, porque dió de su pan al indigente.
10Cast out the scoffer, and contention shall go out with him, and quarrels and reproaches shall cease.
10Echa fuera al escarnecedor, y saldrá la contienda, y cesará el pleito y la afrenta.
11He that loveth cleanness of heart, for the grace of his lips shall have the king for his friend.
11El que ama la limpieza de corazón, por la gracia de sus labios su amigo será el rey.
12The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge: and the words of the unjust are overthrown.
12Los ojos de Jehová miran por la ciencia; mas él trastorna las cosas de los prevaricadores.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the midst of the streets.
13Dice el perezoso: El león está fuera; en mitad de las calles seré muerto.
14The mouth of a strange woman is a deep pit: he whom the Lord is angry with, shall fall into it.
14Sima profunda es la boca de las extrañas: aquel contra el cual estuviere Jehová airado, caerá en ella.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, and the rod of correction shall drive it away.
15La necedad está ligada en el corazón del muchacho; mas la vara de la corrección la hará alejar de él.
16He that oppresseth the poor, to increase his own riches, shall himself give to one that is richer, and shall be in need.
16El que oprime al pobre para aumentarse él, y que da al rico, ciertamente será pobre.
17Incline thy ear, and hear the words of the wise: and apply thy heart to my doctrine:
17Inclina tu oído, y oye las palabras de los sabios, y pon tu corazón á mi sabiduría:
18Which shall be beautiful for thee, if thou keep it in thy bowels, and it shall flow in thy lips:
18Porque es cosa deleitable, si las guardares en tus entrañas; y que juntamente sean ordenadas en tus labios.
19That thy trust may be in the Lord, wherefore I have also shewn it to thee this day.
19Para que tu confianza sea en Jehová, te las he hecho saber hoy á ti también.
20Behold I have described it to thee three manner of ways, in thoughts and knowledge:
20¿No te he escrito tres veces en consejos y ciencia,
21That I might shew thee the certainty, and the words of truth, to answer out of these to them that sent thee.
21Para hacerte saber la certidumbre de las razones verdaderas, para que puedas responder razones de verdad á los que á ti enviaren?
22Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate:
22No robes al pobre, porque es pobre, ni quebrantes en la puerta al afligido:
23Because the Lord will judge his cause, and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.
23Porque Jehová juzgará la causa de ellos, y despojará el alma de aquellos que los despojaren.
24Be not a friend to an angry man, and do not walk with a furious man:
24No te entrometas con el iracundo, ni te acompañes con el hombre de enojos;
25Lest perhaps thou learn his ways, and take scandal to thy soul.
25Porque no aprendas sus maneras, y tomes lazo para tu alma.
26Be not with them that fasten down their hands, and that offer themselves sureties for debts:
26No estés entre los que tocan la mano, entre los que fían por deudas.
27For if thou have not wherewith to restore, what cause is there, that he should take the covering from thy bed?
27Si no tuvieres para pagar, ¿por qué han de quitar tu cama de debajo de ti?
28Pass not beyond the ancient bounds which thy fathers have set.
28No traspases el término antiguo que pusieron tus padres.
29Hast thou seen a man swift in his work? he shall stand before kings, and shall not be before those that are obscure.
29¿Has visto hombre solícito en su obra? delante de los reyes estará; no estará delante de los de baja suerte.
