Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Silver hath beginnings of its veins, and gold hath a place wherein it is melted.
1HE oiaio, he wahi ahu no ke kala, A he wahi no ke gula, kahi a lakou e hoomaemae ai.
2Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone melted with heat is turned into brass.
2Ua laweia ka hao mailoko mai o ka lepo, A ua hooheheeia ke keleawe mailoko mai o ka pohaku.
3He hath set a time for darkness, and the end of all things he considereth, the stone also that is in the dark and the shadow of death.
3Hoonoho no ia i ka hope no ka pouli, A imi no ia ma na wahi hohonu a pau; I ka pohaku o ka pouli a me ka malu make.
4The flood divideth from the people that are on their journey, those whom the food of the needy man hath forgotten, and who cannot be come at.
4Eli ae ia i lua mao aku mai kahi e noho ai na kanaka; Iho lakou ilalo aole ma ka wawae, A lewa lakou mai kanaka aku.
5The land, out of which bread grew in its place, hath been overturned with fire.
5O ka honua, kahi i puka mai ai ka berena, Ua hoohuaiia oia malalo iho ona e like me ke ahi.
6The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and the clods of it are gold.
6O kona mau pohaku, kahi o ka sapira; A he lepo gula kona.
7The bird hath not known the path, neither hath the eye of the vulture beheld it.
7O ke alanui aole i ikeia e ka manu, Aole i ikeia e ka maka o ka vuletura;
8The children of the merchants have not trodden it, neither hath the lioness passed by it.
8Aole i hehi iho na holoholona hihiu ia ia, Aole ka liona i maalo ae ilaila.
9He hath stretched forth his hand to the flint, he hath overturned mountains from the roots.
9Kau aku no ia i kona lima maluna o ka pohakupaa; Hookahuli ae ia i na mauna mai ke kumu aku.
10In the rocks he hath cut out rivers, and his eye hath seen every precious thing.
10Hoopoha no ia i ke kahawai mawaena o na pohaku; A ike no kona maka i na mea waiwai nui a pau.
11The depths also of rivers he hath searched, and hidden things he hath brought forth to light.
11Pani aku no ia i na wai i ke kahe ana iho, A o na mea i hunaia kana i lawe mai ai i ka malamalama.
12But where is wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding?
12Aka, mahea la e loaa'i ka noeau? Mahea hoi kahi o ka naauao?
13Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of them that live in delights.
13Aohe kanaka i ike i kona kumukuai; Aole hoi e loaa ia ma ka aina o ka poe e ola ana.
14The depth saith: It is not in me: and the sea saith: It is not with me.
14I mai ka hohonu, Aole ia iloko o'u: I mai la hoi ke kai, Aole ia me au.
15The finest gold shall not purchase it, neither shall silver be weighed in exchange for it.
15Aole e haawiia ke gula maikai i kumu e loaa mai ai, Aole hoi e kaupaona ke kala i kumukuai nona.
16It shall not be compared with the dyed colours of India, or with the most precious stone sardonyx, or the sapphire.
16Aole e kau pu ia oia me ke gula o Opira, Me ka pohaku onika maikai a me ka sapira.
17Gold or crystal cannot equal it, neither shall any vessels of gold be changed for it.
17Aole e hoolikeia ke gula a me ka pohaku aniani me ia: Aole e hooliloia ia mea no na ipu gula maikai.
18High and eminent things shall not be mentioned in comparison of it: but wisdom is drawn out of secret places.
18Aole e manaoia ke akoakoa, a me ka pohaku maikai: No ka mea, o ka waiwai o ka noeau ua oi aku ia mamua o na momi.
19The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equal to it, neither shall it be compared to the cleanest dyeing.
19Aole e hoolikeia ke topaza o Aitiopa me ia, Aole hoi ia e kau pu ia me ke gula maikai.
20Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
20Mai hea mai hoi ka noeau? A mahea hoi kahi o ka naauao?
21It is hid from the eyes of all living. and the fowls of the air know it not.
21No ka mea, ua hunaia oia mai na maka aku o ka poe a pau e ola ana, A ua nalo oia mai na manu o ka lewa aku.
22Destruction and death have said: With our ears we have heard the fame thereof.
22I mai la ka po a me ka make, Ua lohe no maua me ko maua pepeiao i kona lono.
23God understandeth the way of it, and he knoweth the place thereof.
23Ua maopopo no i ke Akua kona aoao, A oia ka i ike i kona wahi.
24For he beholdeth the ends of the world: and looketh on all things that are under heaven.
24No ka mea, oia ka i nana aku i na welau o ka honua, Ua ike no ia malalo o ka lani a pau;
25Who made a weight for the winds and weighed the waters by measure.
25E hana i ka mea kaupaona no ka makani, A ua ana no ia i na wai maloko o ka mea ana.
26When he gave a law for the rain, and a way for the sounding storms.
26I kana hana ana i ke kanawai no ka ua, A me ke ala no ka uwila o ka hekili;
27Then he saw it, and declared, and prepared, and searched it.
27Alaila ike no oia ia mea, a hoike mai hoi ia; Hoomakaukau oia ia mea, a imi aku hoi ia mea.
28And he said to man: Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom: and to depart from evil, is understanding.
28A ua i mai no ia i ke kanaka, Aia hoi, o ka makau i ka Haku, oia ka noeau; A o ka haalele i ka hewa, oia ka naauao.
