Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A good name is more desirable than great riches; favor is better than silver and gold.
1HE mea makemakeia ke kaulaua mamua o ka waiwai he nui; A mamua hoi o ke kala a me ke gula ka lokomaikai io.
2The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is Maker of them all.
2Halawai pu ka poe waiwai a me ka poe ilihune; Na Iehova lakou a pau i hana.
3The prudent see danger and take cover, but the simple keep going and suffer the consequences.
3Nana ae la ka mea noonoo i ka ino, a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka mea naaupo a hihia oia.
4The rewards of humility and the fear of the LORD are wealth and honor and life.
4No ka naau haahaa, ka makau ia Iehova, Ka waiwai hoi a me ka hanohano a me ke ola.
5Thorns and snares lie on the path of the perverse; he who guards his soul stays far from them.
5Aia na kakalaioa a me na mea hihia ma ke ala o ka mea hele kekee; O ka mea malama i kona uhane, kaawale no oia ia mau mea.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
6E ao aku i ke kamalii i kona aoao, A elemakule oia, aole ia e huli ae mailaila aku.
7The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.
7Noho alii ka mea waiwai maluna o ka poe ilihune, He kauwa hoi ka mea hoopili wale na ke kanaka haawi wale.
8He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
8O ka mea lulu aku i ka hewa, e ohi ia i ka popilikia; Ua hoopauia ka laau hahau o kona huhu.
9A generous man will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.
9O ka mea maka lokomaikai, e hoomaikaiia oia; No ka mea, ua haawi wale ia i kekahi o kana berena i ka mea nele.
10Drive out the mocker, and conflict will depart; even quarreling and insults will cease.
10E hookuke aku i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e kaawale aku hoi ka hoopaapaa; E pau hoi ka hakaka a me ka hoomaewaewa.
11He who loves a pure heart and gracious lips will have the king for a friend.
11O ka mea makemake aku i ka naau maemae, No ka lokomaikai o kona mau lehelehe, o lilo ke alii i hoaaloha nona.
12The LORD’s eyes keep watch over knowledge, but He frustrates the words of the faithless.
12O na maka o Iehova, malama aku no i ka ike, Hoohiolo oia i na olelo a ka mea aia.
13The slacker says, “There is a lion outside! I will be slain in the streets!”
13Olelo ae la ka mea palaualelo, he liona mawaho, E make auanei au ma ke alanui.
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the wrath of the LORD will fall into it.
14He lua hohonu ka waha o ka wahine hookamakama, O ka mea inainaia e Iehova, e haule no ia malaila.
15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
15Ua paa ke kolohe iloko o ka naau o ke kamalii, O ka laau hahau, oia ke hoohemo ae ia mea mai ona aku.
16Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself or giving gifts to the rich will surely lead to poverty.
16O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea ilihune i mea e hoomahuahua ai i kana iho, A o ka mea haawi no ka mea waiwai, e nele io no laua a elua.
17Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise— apply your mind to my knowledge—
17E haliu mai kou pepeiao a e hoolohe i na olelo a ka poe naauao, A e imi iho kou naau i ko'u ike.
18for it is pleasing when you keep them within you and they are constantly on your lips.
18No ka mea, he oluolu no ke malama oe ia mau mea iloko ou, E ku pono no hoi i kou mau lehelehe;
19So that your trust may be in the LORD, I instruct you today—yes, you.
19I paulele oe ia Iehova, Oia ka'u i hoike ai ia oe, ia oe no i keia la,
20Have I not written for you thirty sayings about counsel and knowledge,
20Aole anei i palapala aku au ia oe i na maikai, Ma na oleloao a me ka ike?
21to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?
21I hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka oiaio o ka olelo pololei, I hai pololei aku oe i ka poe i hoounaia mai ia oe.
22Do not rob a poor man because he is poor, and do not crush the afflicted at the gate,
22Mai kaili wale oe i ka ka mea ilihune no kona ilihune ana; Aole hoi e hookaumaha i ka mea nele ma kahi o ka ipuka:
23for the LORD will take up their case and will plunder those who rob them.
23No ka mea, na Iehova e hooponopono no lakou, E hao mai oia i ka uhane o ka poe i hao aku ia lakou.
24Do not make friends with an angry man, and do not associate with a hot-tempered man,
24Mai hoolauna aku oe me ka mea huhu, A, me ke kanaka inaina hoi, mai hele pu oe;
25or you may learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare.
25O ao iho oe i kona mau aoao, A loaa i kou uhane ka hihia.
26Do not be one who gives pledges, who puts up security for debts.
26Mai hui ae oe me ka poe pai aku i ka lima; Aole hoi me ka poe panai no ka aie:
27If you have nothing with which to pay, why should your bed be taken from under you?
27Ina aole au mea e hookaa aku ai, No ke aha la e laweia aku ai kou wahi moe mailalo aku ou?
28Do not move an ancient boundary stone which your fathers have placed.
28Mai honeenee oe i na mokuna aina kahiko, Na mea a kou poe kupuna i hoonoho ai.
29Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will be stationed in the presence of kings; he will not stand before obscure men.
29Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka miki ma kana hana? E ku no ia imua o na'lii, Aole oia e ku imua o ka poe naaupo.
