Proverbs 9
1 Wisedome hath built her house, and hewen out her seuen pillars.
LA sabiduría edificó su casa, labró sus siete columnas;
2 She hath killed her vitailes, drawen her wine, and prepared her table.
Mató sus víctimas, templó su vino, y puso su mesa.
3 She hath sent forth her maydens and cryeth vpon the highest places of the citie, saying,
Envió sus criadas; sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó:
4 Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, she sayth,
Cualquiera simple, venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
5 Come, and eate of my meate, and drinke of the wine that I haue drawen.
Venid, comed mi pan, y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
6 Forsake your way, ye foolish, and ye shall liue: and walke in the way of vnderstanding.
Dejad las simplezas, y vivid; y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7 He that reproueth a scorner, purchaseth to himselfe shame: and he that rebuketh the wicked, getteth himselfe a blot.
El que corrige al escarnecedor, afrenta se acarrea: el que reprende al impío, se [atrae] mancha.
8 Rebuke not a scorner, least he hate thee: but rebuke a wise man, and he will loue thee.
No reprendas al escarnecedor, porque no te aborrezca; corrige al sabio, y te amará.
9 Giue admonition to the wise, and he will be the wiser: teache a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Da al sabio, y será más sabio: enseña al justo, y acrecerá su saber.
10 The beginning of wisedome is the feare of the Lord, and the knowledge of holy things, is vnderstanding.
El temor de Jehová es el principio de la sabiduría; y la ciencia de los santos es inteligencia.
11 For thy dayes shalbe multiplied by me, and the yeeres of thy life shalbe augmented.
Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días, y años de vida se te añadirán.
12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thy selfe, and if thou be a scorner, thou alone shalt suffer.
Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás: mas si fueres escarnecedor, pagarás tú solo.
13 A foolish woman is troublesome: she is ignorant, and knoweth nothing.
La mujer loca es alborotadora; [es] simple é ignorante.
14 But she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate in the hie places of the citie,
Siéntase en una silla á la puerta de su casa, en lo alto de la ciudad,
15 To call them that passe by the way, that go right on their way, saying,
Para llamar á los que pasan por el camino, que van por sus caminos derechos.
16 Who so is simple, let him come hither, and to him that is destitute of wisedome, shee sayth also,
Cualquiera simple, [dice], venga acá. A los faltos de cordura dijo:
17 Stollen waters are sweete, and hid bread is pleasant.
Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, y el pan [comido] en oculto es suave.
