World English Bible
Reina-Valera 1909
1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
1MEJOR es el pobre que camina en su sencillez, que el de perversos labios y fatuo.
2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.
2El alma sin ciencia no es buena; y el presuroso de pies peca.
3The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
3La insensatez del hombre tuerce su camino; y contra Jehová se aira su corazón.
4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
4Las riquezas allegan muchos amigos: mas el pobre, de su amigo es apartado.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
5El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras no escapará.
6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
6Muchos rogarán al príncipe: mas cada uno es amigo del hombre que da.
7All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
7Todos los hermanos del pobre le aborrecen: ¡cuánto más sus amigos se alejarán de él! buscará la palabra y no la hallará.
8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
8El que posee entendimiento, ama su alma: el que guarda la inteligencia, hallará el bien.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
9El testigo falso no quedará sin castigo; y el que habla mentiras, perecerá.
10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10No conviene al necio el deleite: ¡cuánto menos al siervo ser señor de los príncipes!
11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
11La cordura del hombre detiene su furor; y su honra es disimular la ofensa.
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on 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 calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
13Dolor es para su padre el hijo necio; y gotera continua las contiendas de la mujer.
14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14La casa y las riquezas herencia son de los padres: mas de Jehová la mujer prudente.
15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15La pereza hace caer en sueño; y el alma negligente hambreará.
16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
16El que guarda el mandamiento, guarda su alma: mas el que menospreciare sus caminos, morirá.
17He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
17A Jehová empresta el que da al pobre, y él le dará su paga.
18Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
18Castiga á tu hijo en tanto que hay esperanza; mas no se excite tu alma para destruirlo.
19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
19El de grande ira llevará la pena: y si usa de violencias, añadirá nuevos males .
20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
20Escucha el consejo, y recibe la corrección, para que seas sabio en tu vejez.
21There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
21Muchos pensamientos hay en el corazón del hombre; mas el consejo de Jehová permanecerá.
22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
22Contentamiento es á los hombres hacer misericordia: pero mejor es el pobre que el mentiroso.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
23El temor de Jehová es para vida; y con él vivirá el hombre , lleno de reposo; no será visitado de mal.
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24El perezoso esconde su mano en el seno: aun á su boca no la llevará.
25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
25Hiere al escarnecedor, y el simple se hará avisado; y corrigiendo al entendido, entenderá ciencia.
26He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
26El que roba á su padre y ahuyenta á su madre, hijo es avergonzador y deshonrador.
27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
27Cesa, hijo mío, de oir la enseñanza que induce á divagar de las razones de sabiduría.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
28El testigo perverso se burlará del juicio; y la boca de los impíos encubrirá la iniquidad.
29Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
29Aparejados están juicios para los escarnecedores, y azotes para los cuerpos de los insensatos.
