Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Does not wisdom call out, and understanding raise her voice?
1A OLE anei i hea mai ka naauao? Aole anei i pane mai ka ike i kona leo?
2On the heights overlooking the road, at the crossroads she takes her stand.
2Maluna o na wahi kiekie, ma ke ala, Ma kahi o na alanui, ku ae la oia.
3Beside the gates to the city, at the entrances she cries out:
3Ma na ipuka, ma ke alo o ke kulanakauhale, Ma na wahi e komo ai, kahea mai la oia.
4“To you, O men, I call out, and my cry is to the sons of men.
4Ke hea aku nei au ia oukou, e na kanaka; O ko'u leo hoi i na keiki a kanaka.
5O simple ones, learn to be shrewd; O fools, gain understanding.
5E na mea ike ole, e ike oukou i ke akamai; E hoonaauao hoi oukou, e ka poe naaupo.
6Listen, for I speak of noble things, and the opening of my lips will reveal right.
6E hoolohe mai, no ka mea, e hai ana au i na mea maikai; O ka oaka ana hoi o ko'u mau lehelehe ma na mea pono ia.
7For my mouth will speak the truth, and wickedness is detestable to my lips.
7No ka mea, e hoike mai kuu waha i ka oiaio; He mea hoopailua ka hewa i ko'u mau lehelehe.
8All the words of my mouth are righteous; none are crooked or perverse.
8Ma ka pono na olelo a pau a ko'u waha; Aole wahahee, aohe mea kekee malaila.
9They are all plain to the discerning, and upright to those who find knowledge.
9Pau loa no ia i ka pololei i ka mea naauao, Ua kupono hoi i ka poe i loaa ka ike.
10Receive my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold.
10E koho oukou i ke aoia mai, aole ke kala, A me ka ike hoi mamua o ke gula maikai.
11For wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire compares with her.
11No ka mea, ua maikai ka naauao mamua o na momi; A o na mea i makemakeia a pau, aole i like me ia.
12I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.
12Owau hoi, o ka naauao, ke pili nei i ke akamai, Ua loaa ia'u ka ike i na mea e naauao ai.
13To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech.
13O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke inaina aku i ka hewa; O ka haaheo, o ka hookiekie, o ka aoao ino, O ka waha aaka, oia ka'u i hoowahawaha aku ai.
14Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight and strength.
14Ia'u ka ike a me ke akamai; Owau no ka noonoo, ia'u hoi ka ikaika.
15By me kings reign, and rulers enact just laws;
15Ma o'u nei no e nohoalii ai na alii, A e kau aku ai no hoi na kaukaualii i ke kanawai pono.
16By me princes rule, and all nobles who govern justly.
16Ma o'u nei no hoi e hoomalu ai na kiaaina, A me na'lii, a me na lunakanawai a pau o ka honua.
17I love those who love me, and those who seek me early shall find me.
17He aloha ko'u i ka poe e aloha mai ia'u; O ka poe imi pono mai, o lakou ke loaa ia'u.
18With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and righteousness.
18Me au ka waiwai a me ka hanohano; O ka waiwai e mau ana hoi a me ka pono.
19My fruit is better than gold, pure gold, and my harvest surpasses choice silver.
19Ua maikai ko'u hua mamua o ke gula a me ke gula maikai; He mea kohoia hoi ka waiwai ma o'u nei mamua o ke kala.
20I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice,
20Ma ke ala o ka pono ka'u e alakai ai, Mawaena hoi o na alanui o ka hoopono:
21bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.
21I hooili au i ka waiwai no ka poe aloha mai ia'u, A e hoopiha au i ko lakou waihona waiwai.
22The LORD created me as His first course, before His works of old.
22Na Iehova no wau i kinohou o kona noho ana, Mamua o kana hana ana i ka wa kahiko.
23From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.
23Mai ka po mai ua hoonohoia au, Mai kinohi mai, mamua hoi o ka honua.
24When there were no watery depths, I was brought forth, when no springs were overflowing with water.
24I ka wa i ole ai na wahi hohonu, ua hanau no au, I wa i ole ai na puuawai i piha i ka wai.
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills, I was brought forth,
25Mamua o ka hoonoho ana i na mauna, Mamua o na kuahiwi ua hanau au:
26before He made the land or fields, or any of the dust of the earth.
26Aole hoi oia i hana i ka honua a me na kula, A me kahi huna lepo iki o ka honua.
27I was there when He established the heavens, when He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
27I kona hohola ana i ka lani, owau no kekahi malaila, I kona kau ana i ke kanawai maluna o ka hohonu;
28when He established the clouds above, when the fountains of the deep gushed forth,
28I kona hoolewalewa ana i na ao maluna, I kona hoonoho ana i na punawai o ka hohonu;
29when He set a boundary for the sea, so that the waters would not surpass His command, when He marked out the foundations of the earth.
29I kona kau ana i ke kanawai no ka moana, I ole e hu wale aku na kai mamua ona; I kona hookumu paa ana i ka honua:
30Then I was a skilled craftsman at His side, and His delight day by day, rejoicing always in His presence.
30Alaila, owau pu kekahi me ia me he keiki hiwahiwa la; O kona olioli no au i kela la i keia la, E hauoli mau ana hoi imua o kona alo;
31I was rejoicing in His whole world, delighting together in the sons of men.
31E hauoli ana i na wahi i noho ai na kanaka o ka honua ona; O ko'u olioli nui hoi, aia me na keiki a kanaka.
32Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, for blessed are those who keep my ways.
32Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u; Pomaikai ka poe i malama mai i ko'u aoao.
33Listen to instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
33E hoolohe mai i ke ao ana a e hoomanao iho, Mai pale ae oukou.
34Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at the posts of my doorway.
34Pomaikai ke kanaka ke lohe mai i ka'u, He kiai hoi oia, i ko'u mau puka i kela la i keia la, Ke kakali hoi oia ma na kia o ko'u mau puka.
35For whoever finds me finds life and obtains the favor of the LORD.
35No ka mea, o ka mea o'u i loaa ai, ua loaa ia ia ke ola, E loaa hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai e Iehova.
36But he who fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”
36Aka, o ka mea i hana ino mai ia'u, ua pepehi oia i kona uhane iho; O ka poe inaina mai ia'u oia ka i koho i ka make.
