World English Bible
Reina-Valera 1909
1My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
1HIJO mío, guarda mis razones, y encierra contigo mis mandamientos.
2Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
2Guarda mis mandamientos, y vivirás; y mi ley como las niñas de tus ojos.
3Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3Lígalos á tus dedos; escríbelos en la tabla de tu corazón.
4Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
4Di á la sabiduría: Tú eres mi hermana; y á la inteligencia llama parienta:
5that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
5Para que te guarden de la mujer ajena, y de la extraña que ablanda sus palabras.
6For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
6Porque mirando yo por la ventana de mi casa, por mi celosía,
7I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
7Vi entre los simples, consideré entre los jóvenes, un mancebo falto de entendimiento,
8passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
8El cual pasaba por la calle, junto á la esquina de aquella, é iba camino de su casa,
9in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
9A la tarde del día, ya que oscurecía, en la oscuridad y tiniebla de la noche.
10Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
10Y he aquí, una mujer que le sale al encuentro con atavío de ramera, astuta de corazón,
11She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
11Alborotadora y rencillosa, sus pies no pueden estar en casa;
12Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
12Unas veces de fuera, ó bien por las plazas, acechando por todas las esquinas.
13So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
13Y traba de él, y bésalo; desvergonzó su rostro, y díjole:
14“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
14Sacrificios de paz había prometido, hoy he pagado mis votos;
15Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
15Por tanto he salido á encontrarte, buscando diligentemente tu rostro, y te he hallado.
16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
16Con paramentos he ataviado mi cama, recamados con cordoncillo de Egipto.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17He sahumado mi cámara con mirra, áloes, y cinamomo.
18Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
18Ven, embriaguémonos de amores hasta la mañana; alegrémonos en amores.
19For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
19Porque el marido no está en casa, hase ido á un largo viaje:
20He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
20El saco de dinero llevó en su mano; el día señalado volverá á su casa.
21With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
21Rindiólo con la mucha suavidad de sus palabras, obligóle con la blandura de sus labios.
22He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
22Vase en pos de ella luego, como va el buey al degolladero, y como el loco á las prisiones para ser castigado;
23Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
23Como el ave que se apresura al lazo, y no sabe que es contra su vida, hasta que la saeta traspasó su hígado.
24Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
24Ahora pues, hijos, oidme, y estad atentos á las razones de mi boca.
25Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
25No se aparte á sus caminos tu corazón; no yerres en sus veredas.
26for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
26Porque á muchos ha hecho caer heridos; y aun los más fuertes han sido muertos por ella.
27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
27Caminos del sepulcro son su casa, que descienden á las cámaras de la muerte.
