1These are the proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel,
1O NA olelo akamai a Solomona ke keiki a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela.
2for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,
2He mea ia e ike ai i ka noiau a me ke aoia mai, E hoomaopopo i na olelo e naauao ai;
3and for receiving instruction in wise living and in righteousness, justice, and equity.
3E loaa'i ka ike e akamai ai, Ma ka pono a me ka hoopono, a me ka pololei;
4To impart prudence to the simple and knowledge and discretion to the young,
4E haawi i ka maalea i ka poe naaupo, A me ka ike, a me ka noonoo i ke kanaka ui.
5let the wise listen and gain instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel
5E hoolohe ka mea naauao, a mahuahua ka ike, E loaa no i ka mea i aoia'i ka ike o naauao ai;
6by understanding the proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise.
6E ike i ka olelo akamai a me ka hoakaka ana o ia mea, I na olelo a ka poe naauao, a me ka lakou olelo pohihi.
7The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
7O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka hoomaka ana o ka ike; A o ka naauao. a me ke aoia mai, ua hoowahawahaia e ka poe lapuwale.
8Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
8E kuu keiki, e hooloke mai i ke ao ana a kou makuakane, Aole hoi e haalele i ke kanawai o kou maku wahine;
9For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.
9No ka mea, he mea nani ia no kou poo, He mau lei hoi no kou a-i.
10My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
10E kuu keiki, ina e hoowale wale mai ka poe hewa ia oe, Mai ae aku oe.
11If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,
11Ina lakou e olelo mai, E, e hele pu kakou, E hoohalua no ke koko, E hoohalua wale i ka mea hala ole;
12let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.
12E moni ola ia lakou me he malu make, E moni okoa hoi e like me ka poe e haule ana i ka lua:
13We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
13E loaa ia kakou ka waiwai maikai he nui, E hoopiha i ko kakou mau hale me ka waiwai pio;
14Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
14E hailona pu oe me makou i kou kuleana, I hookahi hipuu na kakou a pau:
15my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
15E kuu kiekie e, mai hele pu oe mo lakou ma ke ala; E haalele kou wawae i ko lakou mau kuamoo;
16For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
16No ka mea, holo kiki ko lakou wawae i ka hewa, Wikiwiki hoi lakou i ka hookahe koko.
17How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
17Make hewa no ke kau ana i ka hei, Ma ke alo o na mea eheu a pau.
18But they lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush their own lives.
18Moe malu lakou no ko lakou koko; Makaala hoi no na uhane o lakou.
19Such is the fate of all who are greedy, whose unjust gain takes the lives of its possessors.
19Pela ka aoao o ka poe makee waiwai a pau, E kaili ana i ke ola o ka mea nona ia.
20Wisdom calls out in the street, she lifts her voice in the square;
20Hea ae la ka naauao mawaho; Pane mai kona leo ma ke alanui;
21in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:
21Ma ka welau o na ala oia e kahea mai ai: Ma na kahua o na puka kulanakauhale kana olelo ana, I mai la,
22“How long, O simple ones, will you love your simple ways? How long will scoffers delight in their scorn and fools hate knowledge?
22Pehea ka loihi, e ka poe ike ole, E makemake ai oukou i ka naaupo? A oukou hoi, e ka poe hoowahawaha, E makemake ai i ka hoowahawaha ana? A o oukou, e ka poe naaupo, e inaina aku ai i ka naauao?
23If you had repented at my rebuke, then surely I would have poured out my spirit on you; I would have made my words known to you.
23E huli mai oukou i ka'u ao ana; Aia hoi e niuini aku au i ko'u Uhane maluna o oukou. E hoike aku hoi ia oukou i ka'u mau olelo.
24Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand,
24I ko'u wa i hea aku ai, hoole mai oukou; Kikoo aku la au i ko'u lima, aohe mea i manao mai;
25because you neglected all my counsel, and wanted none of my correction,
25Haalele oukou i ko'u mau manao a pau, Aole hoi oukou i makemake i ka'u ao ana:
26in turn I will mock your calamity; I will sneer when terror strikes you,
26Nolaila, i ko oukou popilikia e akaaka au, E hoowahawaha au i ka hiki ana o ko oukou makau;
27when your dread comes like a storm, and your destruction like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish overwhelm you.
27A hiki mai ko oukou makau me he mea ino la, A hookokoke mai ko oukou popilikia me he puahiohio la, A loohia oukou e ka pilihua a me ke kaumaha:
28Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; they will earnestly seek me, but will not find me.
28Alaila, e hea mai lakou ia'u, aole au e pane aku; E imi koke lakou ia'u aole e loaa mai;
29For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the LORD.
29No ka mea, hoowahawaha lakou i ka ike, A o ka makau ia Iehova, aole lakou i koho mai;
30They accepted none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof.
30Aole o lakou makemake i ka'u ao ana; Manao ino hoi i ka'u mau olelo a pau.
31So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
31Nolaila, e ai lakou i ka hua o ko lakou aoao iho, A ma ko ka manao ana o lakou e maona ai.
32For the waywardness of the simple will slay them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
32No ka mea, o ka haalele ana aku o ka poe naaupo, oia ko lakou pepehiia mai, A o ka noho nanea ana o ka poe lapuwale, o ko lakou make ia.
33But whoever listens to me will dwell in safety, secure from the fear of evil.”
33Aka, o ka mea hoolohe mai ia'u. e noho oluolu no ia, E noho no ia me ka makau ole i ka poino.
