1 El malo huye sin que nadie le persiga, pero el justo como un león está seguro. | 1 The wicked man flees although no one pursues him; but the just man, like a lion, feels sure of himself. |
2 Cuando un país es rebelde, son muchos sus príncipes; con un hombre inteligente y sabio hay estabilidad. | 2 If a land is rebellious, its princes will be many; but with a prudent man it knows security. |
3 Hombre malo que oprime a los débiles es como lluvia devastadora que deja sin pan. | 3 A rich man who oppresses the poor is like a devastating rain that leaves no food. |
4 Los que abandonan la ley alaban al malo, los que guardan la ley se irritan contra ellos. | 4 Those who abandon the law praise the wicked man, but those who keep the law war against him. |
5 Los hombres malos no entienden de equidad, los que buscan a Yahveh lo comprenden todo. | 5 Evil men understand nothing of justice, but those who seek the LORD understand all. |
6 Mejor es el pobre que camina en su integridad que el de caminos tortuosos, por más que sea rico. | 6 Better a poor man who walks in his integrity than he who is crooked in his ways and rich. |
7 El que guarda la ley es un hijo inteligente, el que frecuenta orgías es la deshonra de su padre. | 7 He who keeps the law is a wise son, but the gluttons' companion disgraces his father. |
8 El que aumenta su riqueza por usura e interés, la amontona para el que se compadece de los pobres. | 8 He who increases his wealth by interest and overcharge gathers it for him who is kind to the poor. |
9 El que aparta su oído para no oír la ley, hasta su oración es abominable. | 9 When one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. |
10 El que extravía a los rectos por el mal camino, en su propia fosa caerá. Los hombres sin tacha heredarán la dicha. | 10 He who seduces the upright into an evil way will himself fall into his own pit. (And blameless men will gain prosperity.) |
11 El hombre rico se cree sabio, pero el pobre inteligente, lo desenmascara. | 11 The rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who is intelligent sees through him. |
12 Cuando se alegran los justos, es grande el regocijo, cuando se alzan los malos, todos se esconden. | 12 When the just are triumphant, there is great jubilation; but when the wicked gain preeminence, people hide. |
13 Al que encubre sus faltas, no le saldrá bien; el que las confiesa y abandona, obtendrá piedad. | 13 He who conceals his sins prospers not, but he who confesses and forsakes them obtains mercy. |
14 Dichoso el hombre que siempre está en temor; el que endurece su corazón caerá en el mal. | 14 Happy the man who is always on his guard; but he who hardens his heart will fall into evil. |
15 León rugiente, oso hambriento, es el malo que domina al pueblo débil. | 15 Like a roaring lion or a ravenous bear is a wicked ruler over a poor people. |
16 Príncipe sin inteligencia multiplica la opresión, el que odia el lucro prolongará sus días. | 16 The less prudent the prince, the more his deeds oppress. He who hates ill-gotten gain prolongs his days. |
17 El hombre culpable de una muerte huirá hasta la tumba; ¡que nadie le detenga! | 17 Though a man burdened with human blood were to flee to the grave, none should support him. |
18 El que anda sin tacha será salvo, el que va oscilante entre dos caminos, caerá en uno de ellos. | 18 He who walks uprightly is safe, but he whose ways are crooked falls into the pit. |
19 Quien cultiva su tierra se hartará de pan, quien va tras naderías, se hartará de pobreza. | 19 He who cultivates his land will have plenty of food, but from idle pursuits a man has his fill of poverty. |
20 El hombre leal será muy bendecido, quien se hace rico aprisa, no quedará impune. | 20 The trustworthy man will be richly blessed; he who is in haste to grow rich will not go unpunished. |
21 No es bueno hacer acepción de personas, que por un bocado de pan el hombre prevarica. | 21 To show partiality is never good: for even a morsel of bread a man may do wrong. |
22 El hombre de malas intenciones corre tras la riqueza, sin saber que lo que le viene es la indigencia. | 22 The avaricious man is perturbed about his wealth, and he knows not when want will come upon him. |
23 El hombre que reprende halla al cabo más gracia que el de lengua aduladora. | 23 He who rebukes a man gets more thanks in the end than one with a flattering tongue. |
24 El que roba a su padre y a su madre y dice: «No hay en ello falta», es compañero del hombre destructor. | 24 He who defrauds father or mother and calls it no sin, is a partner of the brigand. |
25 El hombre ambicioso azuza querellas, el que confía en Yahveh prosperará. | 25 The greedy man stirs up disputes, but he who trusts in the LORD will prosper. |
26 El que confía en su corazón es un necio, el que anda con sabiduría se salvará. | 26 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is safe. |
27 El que da a los pobres no conocerá la indigencia, para el que se tapa los ojos abundante maldición. | 27 He who gives to the poor suffers no want, but he who ignores them gets many a curse. |
28 Cuando se alzan los malos, todos se esconden, cuando perecen, los justos se multiplican. | 28 When the wicked gain pre-eminence, other men hide; but at their fall the just flourish. |
