1O KE kanaka i ao pinepine ia a hoopaakiki hoi i kona a-i, E make koke no ia, aole mea e ola'i.

3A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

4By justice a king brings stability to the land, but a man who exacts tribute demolishes it.

5A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.

8Mockers inflame a city, but the wise turn away anger.
8O ka poe hoowahawaha, hoohihia lakou i ke kulanakauhale; O ka poe naauao, pale ae lakou i ka huhu.
9If a wise man goes to court with a fool, there will be raving and laughing with no resolution.
9Ina e hoopaapaa ke kanaka naauao, me ke kanaka hewa, He huhu paha kona, he akaaka paha, aohe oluolu iki.
10Men of bloodshed hate a blameless man, but the upright care for his life.
10O ka poe punikoko, inaina aku lakou i ka mea pololei; Imi hoi ka poe hoopono i ke ola nona.
11A fool vents all his anger, but a wise man holds it back.
11Hoopuka mai ka mea naaupo i kona manao a pau; Noho malie hoi ka mea naauao a mahope aku.
12If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials will be wicked.
12Ina e haliu ae ke alii i ka olelo wahahee, Pau loa kana poe kauwa i ka hana hewa.
13The poor man and the oppressor have this in common: The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.
13O ka mea ilihune, a o ke kanaka hookaumaha e halawai pu laua; Na Iehova e hoomalamalama i na maka o laua a elua.

16When the wicked thrive, rebellion increases; but the righteous will see their downfall.
16I ka mahuahua ana o ka poe howa, mahuahua no ke kolohe; E ike hoi ka poe pono i ko lakau haule ana.
17Discipline your son, and he will give you rest; he will bring delight to your soul.

18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the Law.
18I ole ke aoia mai, hele hewa na kanaka; A o ka mea malama i ke kanawai, pomaikai oia.
19A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.
19Ma ka olelo wale ana, aole e aoia mai ke kauwa; No ka mea ina paha i ike, aole ia e pane mai,
20Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
