Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all inhabitants of the world,
1E HOOLOHE mai i keia, e na kanaka a pau: E haliu maikai i ka pepeiao, e ka poe a pau e noho ana ma ke ao nei:
2both low and high, rich and poor alike.
2Na mea haahaa a me na mea kiekie, Pau pu hoi ka poe waiwai, a me ka poe waiwai ole.
3My mouth will impart wisdom, and the meditation of my heart will bring understanding.
3E olelo aku kuu waha i ke akamai; A ma ka naauao ka manao ana o ko'u naau.
4I will incline my ear to a proverb; I will express my riddle with the harp:
4E haliu aku au i kuu pepeiao i ka olelo nane; E hoomaka au i kuu mele ma ka lira.
5Why should I fear in times of trouble, when wicked usurpers surround me?
5O ke aha kuu mea e makau ai, i na la ino, E hoopuni mai ai ka poe ku e malu mai ia'u?
6They trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches.
6O ka poe hilinai i ko lakou ikaika iho, A i hoomaikai ia lakou iho no ka nui o ko lakou waiwai;
7No man can possibly redeem his brother or pay his ransom to God.
7Aohe mea o lakou e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona hoahanau; Aole hoi e haawi i ka uku hoola i ke Akua nona;
8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,
8(No ka mea, o ka hoola ana i ko lakou uhane, he nui ke kumukuai; A ua oki mau loa no ia;)
9that he should live on forever and not see decay.
9I ola mau loa oia, a i ole hoi e ike i ka palaho.
10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
10No ka mea, ua ike no ia ua make na kanaka naauao, Pela hoi ua make ka mea naaupo a me ka mea manao ole, A waiho hoi lakou i ko lakou waiwai no na mea e.
11Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
11O ko lakou manao oloko e mau loa ko lakou mau hale, A me ko lakou mau wahi e noho ai ia hanauna aku ia hanauna aku: Mamuli o ko lakou inoa iho i kapa ai lakou i ko lakou mau aina.
12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
12Aka, o ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, aole i mau; Ua like ia me na holoholona i hoopauia.
13This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah
13O keia aoao o lakou o ko lakou lapuwale no ia: Aka, ua hoopono ko lakou mau hope i ko lakou mau olelo. Sila.
14Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
14Me he mau hipa la ua waihoia lakou i ka luakupapau: E ai no ka make ia lakou; E lanakila ka poe pono maluna o lakou i ke kakahiaka; A e pau e ko lakou nani iloko o ka luakupapau, mai kona wahi i noho ai.
15But God will redeem my life from Sheol, for He will surely take me to Himself. Selah
15Aka, e hoopakele ke Akua i kuu uhane i ka lima o ka malu o ka make; No ka mea, e hookipa no oia ia'u. Sila.
16Do not be amazed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases.
16Mai makau oe i ka waiwai nui ana o kekahi, I ka wa e mahuahua ai ka nani o kona hale;
17For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his abundance will not follow him down.
17No ka mea, i kona make ana, aohe mea kana e lawe pu ai; Aole e iho kona nani mamuli ona.
18Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul— and men praise you when you prosper—
18Aka hoi, i kona ola ana, ua hoomaikai oia i kona uhane; A e mahalo ae na kanaka ia oe i kou wa e hana maikai ai ia oe iho.
19he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.
19E hele no oia i ka hanauna o kona mau makua; Aole lakou e ike i ka malamalama.
20A man who has riches without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
20O ke kanaka iloko o ka hanohano, me ka naauao ole, Ua like ia me na holoholona i hookiia.
