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