Proverbs 9
1 [It is as though] wisdom [is a woman who] has built a [big] house for herself, and has set up seven columns [to support the roof],
La sabiduría hizo su casa, levantando sus siete pilares.
2 and has slaughtered an animal [and cooked the meat], and has mixed [nice spices] in the wine, and has put [the food] on the table.
Ella ha puesto sus bestias gordas a la muerte; su vino está mixto, su mesa está lista.
3 [It is as though then] she sent out her servant women to call out from the highest place in the town,
Ella ha enviado a sus sirvientas; su voz sale a los lugares más altos de la ciudad, diciendo:
4 “You people who need to understand more, come in!” And to those who are ignorant, [it is as though] she calls out,
Él que sea simple, que entre aquí; y al que no tiene sentido, ella dice:
5 “Come and eat the food that I [have prepared], and drink the [good] wine that I have mixed!
Ven, toma de mi pan y de mi vino mezclado.
6 (Leave/Go away from) [other] foolish people, and [if you do that, you will continue to] live. Walk on the road that will enable you to (have knowledge/know what is true and what is not true).”
Renuncia a los simples y ten vida, y sige el camino del conocimiento.
7 If you rebuke someone who will not allow others to correct him, he will insult you. If you reprove/scold an evil man, he will hurt you.
El que enseña a un hombre de orgullo se avergüenza a sí mismo; el que corrige a un pecador recibe un mal nombre.
8 Do not rebuke someone who will not allow others to (correct him/tell him what he has done is wrong), because he will hate you for doing that. [But] if you rebuke a wise person, he will respect you.
No reprendas a un hombre orgulloso, o él te odiará; corrige a un hombre sabio, y tu serás querido por él.
9 If you give instruction to wise people, they will become wiser. And if you teach righteous people, they will learn more.
Da enseñanza a un hombre sabio, y él se hará más sabio; da entrenamiento a un hombre recto, y su aprendizaje se incrementará.
10 If you want to be wise, you must start by revering Yahweh, and if you know God, the Holy One, you will understand [which teachings are wise/true].
El temor del Señor es el comienzo de la sabiduría, y el conocimiento del Santo da una mente sabia.
11 If you become wise, you will live many years [DOU].
Porque en mí aumentarán tus días, y los años de tu vida serán largos.
12 If you are wise, you are the one who will benefit from it; if you ridicule [becoming wise], you are the one who will suffer.
Si eres sabio, eres sabio para ti mismo; si tu corazón está lleno de orgullo, solo tendrás el dolor de ello.
13 Foolish women talk loudly; they are ignorant and are never ashamed [of the wrong things that they do].
La mujer necia está llena de ruido; ella no tiene ningún sentido en absoluto.
14 They sit at the doors of their houses [or] they sit on the top [of the hills] in the town,
Sentada a la puerta de su casa, en los altos del pueblo,
15 and they call out to the men who are passing by, who are trying to be concerned with their own affairs,
y clamando a los que pasan, yendo en su camino, dice:
16 “You people who need to understand more, come into [my house]!” And to those who are ignorant, they call out,
Cualquiera que sea simple, que entre aquí; y al que es sin sentido, ella dice:
17 “[Just as] water which you have stolen tastes very good and food that you eat by yourself tastes the best, [if you have sex secretly with someone to whom you are not married, you will enjoy it very much].”
La bebida tomada sin derecho es dulce, y la comida en secreto es agradable.
18 But men who go to those women’s houses do not know that those who have gone there are now dead; they have descended down into the deepest parts of the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Pero él no ve que los muertos están allí, que sus invitados están en los lugares profundos del inframundo. (Sheol h7585)
