Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Dishonest scales are an abomination to the LORD, but an accurate weight is His delight.
1O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
2When pride comes, disgrace follows, but with humility comes wisdom.
2A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
3The integrity of the upright guides them, but the perversity of the faithless destroys them.
3O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
4Riches are worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
4O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
5The righteousness of the blameless directs their path, but the wicked fall by their own wickedness.
5O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
6The righteousness of the upright delivers them, but the faithless are trapped by their own desires.
6Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
7When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes, and the hope of his strength vanishes.
7I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
8The righteous man is delivered from trouble; in his place the wicked man goes in.
8Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
9With his mouth the ungodly man destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous are rescued.
9Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
10When the righteous thrive, the city rejoices, and when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.
10I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
11By the blessing of the upright a city is built up, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
11Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
12Whoever shows contempt for his neighbor lacks judgment, but a man of understanding remains silent.
12O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
13A gossip reveals a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.
13O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
14For lack of guidance, a nation falls, but with many counselors comes deliverance.
14Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
15He who puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer, but the one who hates indebtedness is secure.
15E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
16A gracious woman attains honor, but ruthless men gain only wealth.
16O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
17A kind man benefits himself, but a cruel man brings trouble on himself.
17O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
18The wicked man earns an empty wage, but he who sows righteousness reaps a true reward.
18O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
19Genuine righteousness leads to life, but the pursuit of evil brings death.
19E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
20The perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but the blameless in their walk are His delight.
20He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
21Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.
21Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
22Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
23The desire of the righteous leads only to good, but the hope of the wicked brings wrath.
23O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
24One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.
24Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
25A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
25O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
26The people will curse the hoarder of grain, but blessing will crown the one who sells it.
26O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
27He who searches out good finds favor, but evil will come to him who seeks it.
27O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous will thrive like foliage.
28O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
29He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
29O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.
30O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
31If the righteous receive their due on earth, how much more the ungodly and the sinner!
31Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
