Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Do not envy wicked men or desire their company;
1MAI kuko oe i ka aoao o na kanaka hewa, Aole makemake hoi e noho pu me lakou.
2for their hearts devise violence, and their lips declare trouble.
2No ka mea, noonoo ae la ko lakou naau i ka mea e make ai, A no ka ino hoi ko lakou lehelehe e kamailio ai.
3By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;
3Ma ke akamai i kukuluia'i ka hale, Ma ka naauao hoi ia i hookupaaia'i.
4through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.
4Na ka ike e hoopihaia'i na keena, I na waiwai a pau, he maikai no a he nani hoi.
5A wise man is strong, and a man of knowledge enhances his strength.
5O ke kanaka naauao, he ikaika no ia; E mahuahua ana no ka ikaika o ke kanaka ike.
6Only with sound guidance should you wage war, and victory lies in a multitude of counselors.
6No ka mea, ma ka noonoo nui oe e kaua aku ai, A he ola no ma ka nui o ka poe kukakuka pu.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool; he does not open his mouth in the meeting place.
7He kiekie loa ka naauao maluna o ka mea naaupo; Aole e oaka kona waha ma ka ipuka.
8He who plots evil will be called a schemer.
8O ka mea noonoo e hana hewa aku, E kapaia'ku ia he mea hana kolohe.
9A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.
9O ka manao lapuwale, he hewa ia; A he hoopailua i na kanaka ka mea hoowahawaha.
10If you faint in the day of distress, how small is your strength!
10Ina pauaho oe i kou la popilikia, Uuku wale no kou ikaika.
11Rescue those being led away to death, and restrain those stumbling toward the slaughter.
11Ina e hookaulua oe e hoopakele i ka poe i hana paa ia e make, A me ka poe e kokoke ana i ka pepehiia mai;
12If you say, “Behold, we did not know about this,” does not He who weighs hearts consider it? Does not the One who guards your life know? Will He not repay a man according to his deeds?
12Ina e i ae oe, E, aole makou i ike; Aole anei e noonoo mai ka mea nana e kaupaona na naau? A o ka mea hoi nana e malama i ka uhane, aole anei oia e ike? Aole anei oia e hoopai i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana?
13Eat honey, my son, for it is good, and the honeycomb is sweet to your taste.
13E kuu keiki, e ai iho oe i ka meli, no ka mea, he maikai ia; A i ka waihona meli hoi he ono ia i kou waha;
14Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.
14Pela hoi ka ike ana i ka naauao i kou uhane; A i loaa ia oe, alaila he hope, A o kou manaolana aole ia e poho.
15Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, near the dwelling of the righteous; do not destroy his resting place.
15Mai hoohalua, e ke kanaka hewa, ma ka hale o ka mea pono; Mai powa aku oe ma kona wahi e moe ai.
16For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.
16No ka mea, ehiku no ka haule ana o ka mea pono, a ala hou mai no; O ka poe hewa, e hina no lakou iloko o ka poino.
17Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,
17I ka haule ana o kou euemi, mai hauoli oe, I koua hina ana hoi mai olioli kou naau;
18or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.
18O ike mai Iehova he hewa ia i kona mau maka, A e hoohuli oia i kona huhu mai ona aku.
19Do not fret over evildoers, and do not be envious of the wicked.
19Mai ukiuki oe no ka poe hewa, Aole hoi e kuko i ka noho ana o ka poe hana ino.
20For the evil man has no future; the lamp of the wicked will be extinguished.
20No ka mea, aohe uku maikai no ka mea hewa; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio ana no ia.
21My son, fear the LORD and the king, and do not associate with the rebellious.
21E kuu keiki, e makau aku ia Iehova, a me ke alii; Me ka poe lolelua ka naau, mai launa aku.
22For they will bring sudden destruction. Who knows what ruin they can bring?
22No ka mea, e hiki wawe mai ko lakou poino; A o ka make ana o laua a elua, owai ka mea ike aku?
23These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
23Na ka poe naauao hoi keia mau mea: O ka manao kapakahi ma ka hookolokolo ana, aole i pono ia.
24Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent”— peoples will curse him, and nations will denounce him;
24O ka mea olelo aku i ka mea hewa, He pono no oe; E hoino aku no na kanaka ia ia, E hoowahawaha hoi na lahuikanaka ia ia.
25but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come upon them.
25Aka, he oluolu ko ka poe i ao aku, E hiki mai hoi ia lakou ka pomaikai io.
26An honest answer given is like a kiss on the lips.
26E honiia'ku na lehelehe O ka mea olelo aku ma ka pololei.
27Complete your outdoor work and prepare your field; after that, you may build your house.
27Muwaho e hoomakaukau ai i kau hana, A e hooponopono nou iho ma ke kula; A mahope iho, e kukula ae i kou hale.
28Do not testify against your neighbor without cause, and do not deceive with your lips.
28Mai liio hala ole oe i hoike ku e i kou hoanoho; Aole hoi e hoopunipuni me kou mau lehelehe.
29Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
29Mai olelo oe, E like me ia i hana mai ai ia'u, pela au e hana aku ai ia ia; E hoopai aku au i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana.
30I went past the field of a slacker and by the vineyard of a man lacking judgment.
30Ma ke kihapai o ka mea palaualelo i maalo ai au, Ma ka pawaina hoi o ke Kanaka noonoo ole:
31Thorns had grown up everywhere, thistles had covered the ground, and the stone wall was broken down.
31Aia hoi, ulu paapu ae la ka puakala, Uhi mai la maluna ona na kakalaioa, O kona pa pohaku hoi, ua hiolo iho la ia.
32I observed and took it to heart; I looked and received instruction:
32Nana aku la au, halalo iho la ko'u naau; Ike iho la au, a loaa ia'u ke aoia mai.
33A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,
33He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i na lima a hiamoe;
34and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and need like a bandit.
34A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
