Proverbios 19

BIBLIA	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
1 Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad que el de labios perversos y además necio.	1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a man who is perverse in speech, and is a fool.
2 Tampoco es bueno el afán cuando falta la ciencia, el de pies precipitados se extravía.	2 It is not good for a man to be without knowledge, and he who makes haste with his feet misses his way.
3 La necedad del hombre pervierte su camino, y luego en su corazón se irrita contra Yahveh.	3 When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the LORD.

5 El testigo falso no quedará impune, el que profiere mentiras no escapará.	5 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will not escape.
6 Son numerosos los que halagan al noble, todos son amigos del hombre que da.	6 Many seek the favor of a generous man, and every one is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
7 Los hermanos del pobre le odian todos, ¡cuánto más se alejarán de él los amigos! Persigue palabras, pero no hay.	7 All a poor man's brothers hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursues them with words, but does not have them.

9 El testigo falso no quedará impune, el que profiere mentiras perecerá.	9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who utters lies will perish.
10 No sienta bien al necio vivir en delicias, y menos al siervo dominar a los príncipes.	10 It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury, much less for a slave to rule over princes.
11 La prudencia del hombre domina su ira, y su gloria es dejar pasar una ofensa.	11 Good sense makes a man slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.

19 El iracundo carga con la multa; pues si le perdonas, se la tendrás que aumentar.	19 A man of great wrath will pay the penalty; for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again.
20 Escucha el consejo, acoge la corrección, para llegar, por fin, a ser sabio.	20 Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future.
21 Muchos proyectos en el corazón del hombre, pero sólo el plan de Yahveh se realiza.	21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will be established.
22 Lo que se desea en un hombre es la bondad, más vale un pobre que un mentiroso.	22 What is desired in a man is loyalty, and a poor man is better than a liar.
