Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Wine is a luxurious thing, and drunkenness riotous: whosoever is delighted therewith shell not be wise.
1HE mea henehene ka waina, he walaau nui hoi ka mea e ona'i; O na mea a pau i puni malaila, aole i naauao.
2As the roaring of a lion, so also is the dread of a king: he that provoketh him, sinneth against his own soul.
2He uwo ana me he liona la, ka weliweli i ke alii; O ka mea hoonaukiuki ia ia, hoeha no oia i kona uhane iho.
3It is an honour for a man to separate himself from quarrels: but all fools are meddling with reproaches.
3He mea nani no ke kanaka, ke hooki i ka hoopaapaa: Aka, e huhu no na mea lapuwale a pau.
4Because of the cold the sluggard would not plough: he shall beg therefore in the summer, and it shall not be given him.
4Aole e mahiai ka mea palaualelo no ke anu; A e makilo oia i ka wa e ohi ai, aole e loaa.
5Counsel in the heart of a man is like deep water: but a wise man will draw it out.
5He wai hohonu, ka oleloao iloko o ko kanaka naau; Na ke kanaka naauao e uhuki ae.
6Many men are called merciful: but who shall find a faithful man?
6E hai aku ka nui o na kanaka i ko lakou pono iho; O ke kanaka hana oiaio, ia wai la i loaa'i ia?
7The just that walketh in his simplicity, shall leave behind him blessed children.
7O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, he mea pono oia; E hoomaikaiia hoi kana poe keiki mahope ona.
8The king, that sitteth on the throne of judgment, scattereth away all evil with his look.
8O ke alii e noho ana ma ka noho hookolokolo, Hooauhee oia i na hewa a pau me kona mau maka.
9Who can say: My heart is clean, I am pure from sin?
9Owai la ke hiki e olelo aku, Ua hoomaemae au i ko'u naau? Ua kaawale au i ko'u hewa?
10Diverse weights and diverse measures, both are abominable before God.
10He ana paona palua a he ana palua no na mea e ae, He hoopailua ia Iehova ia mau mea elua.
11By his inclinations a child is known, if his works be clean and right.
11Ua ikeia ke keiki ma ka hana ana, Ina paha he maemae, a he pololei kana hana.
12The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made them both.
12O ka pepeiao lohe, a o ka maka nana, Na Iehova no i hana ia mau mea elua.
13Love not sleep, lest poverty oppress thee: open thy eyes, and be filled with bread.
13Mai makemake oe i ka hiamoe o lilo oe i mea nele; E wehe ae i kou mau maka, a e maona i ka ai.
14It is nought, it is nought, saith every buyer: and when he is gone away, then he will boast.
14He ino, he ino, wahi a ka mea kuai mai; A i kona hele ana aku, alaila, haanui oia.
15There is gold, and a multitude of jewels: but the lips of knowledge are a precious vessel.
15Aia he gula a me na pohaku maikai he nui wale; Aka, o ka mea nani loa, oia ka lehelehe ike.
16Take away the garment of him that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge from him for strangers.
16E lawe oe i ke kapa o kekahi ke panai oia no ka malihini, A no na malihini hoi i lawe i kekahi waiwai ana.
17The bread of lying is sweet to a man: but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel.
17Ua ono i ke kanaka ka ai no ka wahahee; A mahope iho, e piha kona waha i ke one.
18Designs are strengthened by counsels: and wars are to be managed by governments.
18Ua paa ka manao ma ke kukakuka pu ana; Ma ka noonoo pololei hoi e kaua aku ai.
19Meddle not with him that revealeth secrets, and walketh deceitfully, and openeth wide his lips.
19O ka mea holoholo olelo, hoike aku oia i na mea i hunaia; Mai launa aku me ka mea hoomalimali me koua mau lehelehe.
20He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.
20O ka mea hailiili aku i kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, E pio kona kukui i ke onohi o ka pouli.
21The inheritance gotten hastily in the beginning, in the end shall be without a blessing.
21O ka hooilina i loaa mua ma ke kaili wale, O kona hopena, aole e pomaikai ia.
22Say not: I will return evil: wait for the Lord and he will deliver thee.
22Mai olelo ae oe, E hoopai aku au i ka hewa; E kakali oe ia Iehova, nana no oe o kokua mai.
23Diverse weights are an abomination before the Lord: a deceitful balance is not good.
23He hoopailua ia Iehova na ana paona papalua; O ke kaupaona hoopunipuni aole i pono ia.
24The steps of man are guided by the Lord: but who is the man that can understand his own way?
24Na Iehova mai ka hele ana o ke kanaka; Pehea hoi e hiki ai i ke kanaka ko ike i kona aoao iho?
25It is ruin to a man to devour holy ones, and after vows to retract.
25He mea hihia i ke kanaka, ke hoohiki naaupo i ka mea hemolele; A mahope iho o ka hoohiki ana, alaila noonoo.
26A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth over them the wheel.
26Hoopuehu ae ke alii akamai i ka poe hewa, Hookaa oia i ke kaa maluna o lakou.
27The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, which searcheth all the hidden things of the bowels.
27O ke kukui o Iehova, o ka hanu ia o ke kanaka, E komo ana ma na wahi a pau o ka opu.
28Mercy and truth preserve the king, and his throne is strengthened by clemency.
28Na ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio e malama mai i ke alii; Ua paa hoi kona nohoalii i ka lokomaikai.
29The joy of young men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.
29O ka ikaika ka mea e kaulana'i na kanaka ui; O ke poohina ka mea e nani ai ka elemakule.
30The blueness of a wound shall wipe away evils: and stripes in the more inward parts of the belly.
30O ka pahu ana o ka mai he mea hoomaemae i ka ino; O ka haua hoi, i koloko o ka opu.
