Esta es la mía:
No detengas el bien de sus dueños, Cuando tuvieres poder para hacerlo. No digas á tu prójimo: Ve, y vuelve, Y mañana te daré; Cuando tienes contigo qué darle. Proverbios 3:27-28
Here is mine:
Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act and do not say to your neigbor, "Come back later, I'll give it tomorrow"; when you now have it with you. Proverbs 3:27-28

Jason, you need a mod for this if we are talking about translations here. Or is this copy and paste? - 00494d19, Jun 30, 2010

A mod would be great! Any suggestions? If you wouldn't mind that would be great. :) - Jason7R, Jun 30, 2010

Sorry, jason, you have to find a mod for this, unless it is a one word game you need to do that yourself. - 00494d19, Jul 1, 2010

Answer 1

I love almost all proverbs, Biblical and otherwise, in Spanish and English. In my opinion the 23rd Psalm, while not exactly a proverb, is so beautiful in both languages it deserves special recognition.

Riena Valera: 23:1 Jehová es mi pastor; nada me faltará. 23:2 En lugares de delicados pastos me hará descansar; Junto a aguas de reposo me pastoreará. 23:3 Confortará mi alma; Me guiará por sendas de justicia por amor de su nombre. 23:4 Aunque ande en valle de sombra de muerte, No temeré mal alguno, porque tú estarás conmigo; Tu vara y tu cayado me infundirán aliento. 23:5 Aderezas mesa delante de mí en presencia de mis angustiadores; Unges mi cabeza con aceite; mi copa está rebosando. 23:6 Ciertamente el bien y la misericordia me seguirán todos los días de mi vida, Y en la casa de Jehová moraré por largos días.

King James: 1 ¶ A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

Answer 2

Proverbs 3:27-32 (King James Version)

Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways. For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

Proverbios 3:27-32 (Reina-Valera Antigua)

No detengas el bien de sus dueños, Cuando tuvieres poder para hacerlo. No digas á tu prójimo: Ve, y vuelve, Y mañana te daré; Cuando tienes contigo qué darle. No intentes mal contra tu prójimo, Estando él confiado de ti. No pleitees con alguno sin razón, Si él no te ha hecho agravio. No envidies al hombre injusto, Ni escojas alguno de sus caminos. Porque el perverso es abominado de Jehová: Mas su secreto es con los rectos.

Answer 3

Well, this is not "copy and paste", but it is copied word for word. Any mistakes will by typos.

La blanda repuesta quita la ira; Mas la palabra áspera hace subir el furor. Proverbios 15:1

A soft answer turns away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1

Amazingly, this works. The next time someone is screaming, don't raise your voice. Just try talking calmly and softly and see how the other person calms down.

Answer 4

Calling any and all moderators or copy and paste is fine! I just want people's favorites in regards to the three categories.

Answer 5

Salmos 19 (Reina-Valera Antigua) 14 Sean gratos los dichos de mi boca y la meditación de mi corazón delante de ti, Oh Jehová, roca mía, y redentor mío

Psalm 19:14 (King James Version) 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.
