Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
1O KA wahine naauao, oia ke kukulu i kona hale; Wawahi iho la ka mea naaupo me kona mau lima.
2He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him.
2O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, oia ka i makau ia Iehova; O ka mea i hookekee i kona aoao, oia ka i hoowahawaha ia ia.
3The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
3Ma ka waha o ka mea naaupo, he laau hahau ka haaheo; O na lehelehe o ka poe naauao, oia ke malama aku ia lakou.
4Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of the ox.
4I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.
5An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.
5O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
6A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
6Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
7Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
7E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.
8O ke akamai o ka mea ike, oia ka hoomaopopo ana i kona aoao; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, oia ka hoopunipuni.
9Fools mock the making of amends, but goodwill is found among the upright.
9Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
10The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares in its joy.
10Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
11The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
11O ka hale o ka poe hewa, e hoohioloia; O ka halelewa o ka poe pololei, e paa mau no ia,
12There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
12O kekahi aoao, he pololei ia i kanaka; O kona hope hoi, oia ka aoao o ka make.
13Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in sorrow.
13I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
14The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, but a good man is rewarded for his ways.
14E hoopihaia auauei ka naau o ka mea hoi hope i kona aoaoiho; A o ke kanaka maikai hoi i kona hua iho.
15The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps.
15Manaoio no ka mea noonoo ole i na olelo a pau; Aka, o ka mea maalea, nana pono oia i kona hele ana.
16A wise man fears and turns from evil, but a fool is careless and reckless.
16O ka mea naauao, makau no ia, a haalele i ka hewa; O ka mea lapuwale hoi, he haaheo kona a me ka makau ole.
17A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.
17O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.
18The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
18E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poe noonoo ole; E kau hoi ka ike me he lei la maluna o ka poe naauao.
19The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
19Kulou ae ka poe hewa imua i ke alo o ka poe maikai; O ka poe aia hoi ma ka ipuka o ka mea pono.
20The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but many are those who love the rich.
20Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
21He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who shows kindness to the poor.
21O ka mea hoowahawaha i kona hoanoho, ua hewa oia; O ka mea lokomaikai aku i ka mea i nele, pomaikai oia.
22Do not those who contrive evil go astray? But those who plan goodness find loving devotion and faithfulness.
22Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
23There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
23Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
24The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the effort of fools is folly.
24O ka lei o ka poe akamai, oia ko lakou waiwai; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, he lapuwale wale iho no ia.
25A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.
25Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
26He who fears the LORD is secure in confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.
26Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
27O ka makau ia Iehova, he punawai ola ia, He mea ia e haalele ai i na pahele o ka make.
28A large population is a king’s splendor, but a lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin.
28Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
29A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.
29O ka mea uumi i ka huhu, oia ka noonoo nui; O ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhu, oia ke hoike i ka lapuwale.
30A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
30O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
31Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.
31O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea nele, oia ka i hoowahawaha i ka Mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea malama aku ia ia, oia ke aloha i ka mea ilihune.
32The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous man has a refuge even in death.
32Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
33Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; even among fools she is known.
33Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
34Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
35A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.
35O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
