Proverbs 9
1 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her pillars—seven.
La sabiduría edificó su casa, labró sus siete columnas;
2 She has slaughtered her slaughter, She has mingled her wine, Indeed, she has arranged her table.
mató su víctima, templó su vino, y puso su mesa.
3 She has sent forth her girls, She cries on the tops of the high places of the city:
Envió sus criadas; sobre lo más alto de la ciudad clamó:
4 “Who [is] simple? Let him turn aside here.” Whoever lacks heart: she has said to him,
cualquier simple, venga acá. A los faltos de entendimiento ( o de corazón ) dijo:
5 “Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have mingled.
Venid, comed mi pan, y bebed del vino que yo he templado.
6 Forsake the simple and live, And be blessed in the way of understanding.”
Dejad las simplezas, y vivid; y andad por el camino de la inteligencia.
7 The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it—shame, And a reprover of the wicked—his blemish.
El que castiga al burlador, afrenta se acarrea; el que reprende al impío, se atrae mancha.
8 Do not reprove a scorner, lest he hate you, Give reproof to the wise, and he loves you.
No castigues al burlador, para que no te aborrezca; castiga al sabio, y te amará.
9 Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the righteous, And he increases learning.
Da al sabio, y será más sabio; enseña al justo, y acrecerá su saber.
10 The commencement of wisdom [is] the fear of YHWH, And a knowledge of the Holy Ones [is] understanding.
El temor del SEÑOR es el principio de la sabiduría; y la ciencia de lo santo es inteligencia.
11 For by me your days multiply, And years of life are added to you.
Porque por mí se aumentarán tus días, y años de vida se te añadirán.
12 If you have been wise, you have been wise for yourself, And you have scorned—you bear [it] alone.
Si fueres sabio, para ti lo serás; mas si fueres burlador, pagarás tú solo.
13 A foolish woman [is] noisy, Simple, and has not known what.
La mujer loca, alborotadora, simple e ignorante;
14 And she has sat at the opening of her house, On a throne—the high places of the city,
se sienta en una silla a la puerta de su casa, en lo alto de la ciudad,
15 To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight [on] their paths.
para llamar a los que pasan por el camino; a los que enderecen sus caminos:
16 “Who [is] simple? Let him turn aside here.” And whoever lacks heart—she said to him,
Cualquier simple, venga acá. A los faltos de entendimiento dijo:
17 “Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.”
Las aguas hurtadas son dulces, y el pan comido en oculto es suave.
