Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.
1O KA mea makemake i ke aoia mai, oia ka i makemake i ka ike; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ke aoia mai, he holoholona ia.
2The good man obtains favor from the LORD, but the LORD condemns a man who devises evil.
2O ka mea maikai, e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikai no Iehova mai; A e hoohewa mai oia i ke kanaka hoopunipuni.
3A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted.
3Aole ma ka hewa e ku paa'i ke kanaka; O ka hookumu ana o ka poe pono, aole ia e neenee ae.
4A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but she who causes shame is like decay in his bones.
4O ka wahine noho pono he papale alii oia i kana kane; Aka, me he mea popopo la i kona mau iwi ka wahine e hoohilahila aku.
5The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked leads to deceit.
5O ka manao ana o ka poe pono, aia ma ka hoopono; O ke kuka ana o ka poe hewa, aia ma ka hoopunipuni.
6The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.
6O ka olelo a ka poe hewa, he hoohalua ia i ke koko; Aka, o ka waha o ka poe pololei, oia ka lakou e hoopakele aku.
7The wicked are overthrown and perish, but the house of the righteous will stand.
7Ua hooauhulihia ka poe hewa, a nalowale; E ku mau ana hoi ka hale o ka poe pono.
8A man is praised according to his wisdom, but a twisted mind is despised.
8E hoomaikaiia ke kanaka e like me kona akamai; Aka, o ka mea naau lokoino, e hoowahawahaia oia.
9Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food.
9O ka mea i hoowahawahaia, a he kauwa nana, Oi aku oia i ka mea hoohanohano ia ia iho, a nele i ka ai ole.
10A righteous man regards the life of his animal, but the tender mercies of the wicked are only cruelty.
10Manao no ke kanaka pono i ka ola o kona holoholona; Aka, o ke aloha o ka poe hewa, he lokoino no ia.
11The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies lacks judgment.
11O ka mea i mahi i kona aina, e maona no i ka ai; Aka, o ka hoopili mea ai me ka poe palaualelo, he lapuwale ia.
12The wicked desire the plunder of evil men, but the root of the righteous flourishes.
12He lealea i ka mea hewa ka punihei ino ana; O ke kumu o ka poe pono e hua mai no ia.
13An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech, but a righteous man escapes from trouble.
13Ma ka ino o na lehelehe i puniheiia'i ka mea hewa; E puka mai no hoi ka mea pono noloko ae o ka pilikia.
14By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him.
14Ma ka hua o ka waha, e maona ai ke kanaka i ka maikai; O ka uku o ko ke kanaka lima e haawiia ia ia.
15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.
15O ka aoao o ka mea naaupo, ua pololei ia i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, ua naauao oia.
16A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.
16O ka huhu o ka naaupo o ike koke ia; Hoonalowale ka mea maalea i ka mea e hilahila'i.
17He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.
17O ka mea hai aku i ka oiaio, hoike oia i ka pono; A o ka hoike wahahee hoi, hoike oia i ka hoopunipuni.
18Speaking rashly is like a piercing sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
18Olelo kekahi e like me ka hou ana o ka pahikaua; A o ke elelo o ka poe naauao, ma ka hoola ia.
19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
19O na lehelehe oiaio, e mau ana no ia; O ke elelo wahahee e pau koke no ia.
20Deceit is in the hearts of those who devise evil, but the counselors of peace have joy.
20He hoopunipuni ma ka naau o ka poe manao ino; A no ka poe kukakuka i ka maluhia, he olioli.
21No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.
21Aole e loohia mai ka mea pono e ka poino; Aka, piha no ka poe hewa i na mea e ino ai.
22Lying lips are detestable to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.
22He mea hoopailua ia Iehova na lehelehe hoopunipuni; O ka poe hana ma ka oiaio, oia kona olioli.
23A shrewd man keeps his knowledge to himself, but a foolish heart proclaims its folly.
23O ke kanaka noeau, e waiho ana ia ia ka ike; O ka naau o na naaupo, hoike wale no ia i ka lapuwale.
24The hand of the diligent will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.
24O ka lima o ka poe hana mau e lilo oia i haku; O ka mea hoomolowa, malalo no ia o ka hookupu.
25Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.
25O ke kaumaha iloko o ka naau o ka kanaka, he mea e kulou iho ai; Aka, ma ka olelo maikai ia e hooluoluia'i.
26A righteous man is cautious in friendship, but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.
26Ua maikai ka mea pono mamua o kona hoanoho; O ka aoao o ka poe hewa, e hoowalewale oia ia lakou.
27A lazy man does not roast his game, but a diligent man prizes his possession.
27Aole o hopu ka molowa i kana mea ai; Aka, o ka waiwai o ke kanaka maikai, he gula ia.
28There is life in the path of righteousness, but another path leads to death.
28Ma ke ala pono ke ola, Ma kolaila kuamoo no hoi, aole e make.
