1 The parables of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel,1 Proverbios de Salomón, hijo de David, rey de Israel:
2 in order to know wisdom and discipline,2 Para aprender sabiduría y doctrina, | para entender sentencias inteligentes,
3 to understand words of prudence, and to accept the instruction of doctrine, justice and judgment, and equity,3 para adquirir disciplina y sensatez, | derecho, justicia y rectitud;
4 so as to give discernment to little ones, knowledge and understanding to adolescents.4 para enseñar sagacidad al inexperto, | saber y reflexión al muchacho
5 By listening, the wise shall become wiser and the intelligent shall possess governments.5 (lo escucha el sensato y aumenta su saber, | el prudente adquiere habilidad);
6 He shall turn his soul to a parable and to its interpretation, to the words of the wise and their enigmas.6 para entender proverbios y dichos, | sentencias de sabios y enigmas.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The foolish despise wisdom as well as doctrine.7 El comienzo de la sabiduría es el temor del Señor, | los necios desprecian la sabiduría y la disciplina.
8 Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother,8 Escucha, hijo mío, los consejos de tu padre, | no rechaces la instrucción de tu madre:
9 so that grace may be added to your head and a collar to your neck.9 pues serán diadema en tu cabeza, | como una gargantilla en tu cuello.
10 My son, if sinners should entice you, do not consent to them.10 Hijo mío, no te dejes seducir, | no accedas a gente sin escrúpulos.
11 If they should say: “Come with us. We will lie in wait for blood. We will lay traps against the innocent, without cause.11 Si te dicen: «Ven con nosotros, | preparemos emboscadas mortales, | acechemos sin motivo al honrado;
12 Let us swallow him alive, like Hell, and whole, like one descending into the pit.12 lo tragaremos vivo, como el Abismo, | entero, como quien baja a la tumba;
13 We will discover every precious substance. We will fill our houses with spoils.13 nos haremos con grandes riquezas, | llenaremos de botín nuestra casa;
14 Cast your lot with us. One purse will be for us all.”14 comparte tu suerte con nosotros, | haremos bolsa común».
15 My son, do not walk with them. Preclude your feet from their paths.15 Tú, hijo mío, no sigas su camino, | aparta tus pies de su senda,
16 For their feet rush to evil, and they hurry to shed blood.16 pues sus pies corren tras el mal, | se apresuran a derramar sangre.
17 But a net is thrown in vain before the eyes of those who have wings.17 Mas en vano se ponen redes | cuando son vistas por las aves.
18 Likewise, they lie in ambush against their own blood, and they undertake deceits against their own souls.18 Sus emboscadas les resultarán mortales, | atentarán contra su propia vida.
19 Thus, the ways of all those who are greedy seize the souls of those who possess.19 Este es el fin de los codiciosos: | los mata su propia codicia.
20 Wisdom forewarns far and wide; she bestows her voice in the streets.20 La sabiduría pregona por las calles, | en las plazas levanta la voz;
21 She cries out at the head of crowds; at the entrance of the gates of the city, she offers her words, saying:21 grita en lugares concurridos, | en la plaza pública proclama:
22 “Little ones, how long will you choose to be childish, and how long will the foolish desire what is harmful to themselves, and how long will the imprudent hate knowledge?22 «¿Hasta cuándo, ignorantes, amaréis la ignorancia, | y vosotros, insolentes, recaeréis en la insolencia, | y vosotros, necios, rechazaréis el saber?
23 Be converted by my correction. Lo, I will offer my spirit to you, and I will reveal my words to you.23 Prestad atención a mis razones, | derramaré mi espíritu sobre vosotros, | quiero comunicaros mis palabras.
24 For I called, and you refused. I extended my hand, and there was no one who watched.24 Os llamé, y vosotros rehusasteis; | extendí mi mano y la rechazasteis;
25 You have despised all my counsels, and you have neglected my rebukes.25 despreciasteis mis consejos, | no aceptasteis mis advertencias.
26 Similarly, I will ridicule you at your demise, and I will mock you, when that which you feared shall overcome you.26 Pues bien, yo me reiré de vuestra desgracia, | me burlaré cuando os alcance el terror.
27 When sudden calamity rushes upon you, and your demise advances like a tempest, when tribulation and anguish overcome you,27 Cuando os alcance como tormenta el terror, | cuando os llegue como huracán la desgracia, | cuando os alcancen la angustia y la aflicción,
28 then they will call to me, and I will not heed, they will arise in the morning, and not find me.28 me llamaréis, pero no os escucharé; | me buscaréis, pero no me encontraréis.
29 For they held hatred for discipline, and they would not accept the fear of the Lord;29 Por haber menospreciado el saber | y no querer temer al Señor,
30 they would not consent to my counsel, but they detracted from all of my corrections.30 por no aceptar mis consejos | y despreciar mis reprensiones,
31 Therefore, they shall eat the fruit of their way, and they shall have their fill of their own counsels.31 comerán el fruto de su conducta, | se hartarán de los planes que hicieron.
32 The loathing of the little ones shall destroy them, and the prosperity of the foolish shall perish them.32 La indisciplina matará a los irreflexivos, | la indolencia acabará con los necios;
33 But whoever will listen to me shall rest without terror, and shall have full enjoyment of abundance, without fear of evils.”33 mas quien me escucha vivirá tranquilo, | seguro y sin temor a la desgracia».
