Reina-Valera 1909
1Wisdom hath built herself a house, she hath hewn her out seven pillars.
1LA sabiduría edificó su casa, labró sus siete columnas;
2She hath slain her victims, mingled her wine, and set forth her table.
2Mató sus víctimas, templó su vino, y puso su mesa.
3She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:
3Envió sus criadas; sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó:
4Whosoever is a little one, let him come to me. And to the unwise she said:
4Cualquiera simple, venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
5Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mingled for you.
5Venid, comed mi pan, y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
6Forsake childishness, and live, and walk by the ways of prudence.
6Dejad las simplezas, y vivid; y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7He that teacheth a scorner, doth an injury to himself: and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot.
7El que corrige al escarnecedor, afrenta se acarrea: el que reprende al impío, se atrae mancha.
8Rebuke not a scorner lest he hate thee. Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.
8No reprendas al escarnecedor, porque no te aborrezca; corrige al sabio, y te amará.
9Give an occasion to a wise man, and wisdom shall be added to him. Teach a just man, and he shall make haste to receive it.
9Da al sabio, y será más sabio: enseña al justo, y acrecerá su saber.
10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is prudence.
10El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría; y la ciencia de los santos es inteligencia.
11For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
11Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días, y años de vida se te añadirán.
12If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.
12Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás: mas si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.
13A foolish woman and clamorous, and full of allurements, and knowing nothing at all,
13La mujer loca es alborotadora; es simple é ignorante.
14Sat at the door of her house, upon a seat, in a high place of the city,
14Siéntase en una silla á la puerta de su casa, en lo alto de la ciudad,
15To call them that pass by the way, and go on their journey:
15Para llamar á los que pasan por el camino, que van por sus caminos derechos.
16He that is a little one, let him turn to me. And to the fool she said:
16Cualquiera simple, dice , venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17Stolen waters are sweeter, and hid den bread is more pleasant.
17Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, y el pan comido en oculto es suave.
18And he did not know that giants are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
18Y no saben que allí están los muertos; que sus convidados están en los profundos de la sepultura.
