World English Bible
Reina-Valera 1909
1Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars.
1LA sabiduría edificó su casa, labró sus siete columnas;
2She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table.
2Mató sus víctimas, templó su vino, y puso su mesa.
3She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city:
3Envió sus criadas; sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó:
4“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
4Cualquiera simple, venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
5“Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed!
5Venid, comed mi pan, y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
6Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding.”
6Dejad las simplezas, y vivid; y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse.
7El que corrige al escarnecedor, afrenta se acarrea: el que reprende al impío, se atrae mancha.
8Don’t reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you.
8No reprendas al escarnecedor, porque no te aborrezca; corrige al sabio, y te amará.
9Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning.
9Da al sabio, y será más sabio: enseña al justo, y acrecerá su saber.
10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
10El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría; y la ciencia de los santos es inteligencia.
11For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased.
11Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días, y años de vida se te añadirán.
12If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.
12Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás: mas si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.
13The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing.
13La mujer loca es alborotadora; es simple é ignorante.
14She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,
14Siéntase en una silla á la puerta de su casa, en lo alto de la ciudad,
15to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways,
15Para llamar á los que pasan por el camino, que van por sus caminos derechos.
16“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here.” As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him,
16Cualquiera simple, dice , venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17“Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant.”
17Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, y el pan comido en oculto es suave.
18But he doesn’t know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
18Y no saben que allí están los muertos; que sus convidados están en los profundos de la sepultura.
