Proverbios 31

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Palabras de Lemuel, rey de Massá, que le enseño su madre:	1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.
2 ¡No, hijo mío, no, hijo de mis entrañas! ¡No, hijo de mis votos!	2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?
3 No entregues tu vigor a las mujeres, ni tus caminos a las que pierden a los reyes.	3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
4 No es para los reyes, Lemuel, no es para los reyes beber vino, ni para los príncipes ser aficionado a la bebida.	4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:
5 No sea que, bebiendo, olviden sus decretos y pervientan las causas de todos los desvalidos.	5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.
6 Dad bebidas fuertes al que va a perecer y vino al de alma amargada;	6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 que beba y olvide su miseria, y no se acuerde ya de su desgracia.	7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
8 Abre tu boca en favor del mudo, por la causa de todos los abandonados,	8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
9 abre tu boca, juzga con justicia y defiende la causa del mísero y del pobre.	9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
