Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1As the divisions of waters, so the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord: whithersoever he will he shall turn it.
1HE mau auwai ka naau o ke alii, iloko o ka lima o Iehova, Nana e hookahe ae e like me kona makemake.
2Every way of a man seemeth right to himself: but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
2O na aoao a pau o ke kanaka, ua pololei ia i kona maka iho, Hoao ae la o Iehova i na naau.
3To do mercy and judgment, pleaseth the Lord more than victims.
3O ka hana ana i ka pono a me ka pololei, Ua makemakeia e Iehova mamua o ka mohai.
4Haughtiness of the eyes is the enlarging of the heart: the lamp of the wicked is sin.
4O ka maka haaheo, o ka naau hookiekie, O ka pomaikai ana hoi o ka poe hewa he pono ole no ia.
5The thoughts of the industrious always bring forth abundance: but every sluggard is always in want.
5O ka manao o ka mea hana mau, pili no ia i ka lako; O ko ka mea wikiwiki wale, pili no ia i ka nele.
6He that gathereth treasures by a lying tongue, is vain and foolish, and shall stumble upon the snares of death.
6O ka imi ana i ka waiwai ma ke elelo wahahee, He opala i hoopuehuia e ka poe e imi ana i ka make.
7The robberies of the wicked shall be their downfall, because they would not do judgment.
7O ke kaili wale o ka poe hewa, e kaili aku ia ia lakou; No ka mea, hoole lakou, aole e hana ma ka hoopono.
8The perverse way of a man is strange: but as for him that is pure, his work is right.
8He kekee ka aoao o ke kanaka, a he ano e hoi; O ka mea maemae hoi, ua pololei kana hana.
9It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling women, and in a common house.
9E aho ka noho ma ke kihi maluna o ka hale, Aole hoi me ka wahine hakaka ma ka hale kanaka.
10The soul of the wicked desireth evil, he will not have pity on his neighbour.
10O ka uhane o ka mea hewa, makemake no ia i ka hewa; Aole ona lokomaikai mai i kona hoanoho.
11When a pestilent man is punished, the little one will be wiser: and if he follow the wise, he will receive knowledge.
11Ma ka hoopaiia mai o ka mea hoowahawaha, e hoonaauaoia'i ka mea ike ole; I ke ao ana aku i ka mea akamai, e loaa no ia ia ka ike.
12The just considereth seriously the house of the wicked, that he may withdraw the wicked from evil.
12Noonoo nui ka mea pono i ka hale o ka mea hewa; Ua hookahuliia ka poe hewa no ka hana hewa ana.
13He that stoppeth his ear against the cry of the poor, shall also cry himself and shall not be heard.
13O ka mea i papani i kona pepeiao i ka uwe ana o ka mea nele, E hea aku no oia, aohe mea e hoolohe mai.
14A secret present quencheth anger: and a gift in the bosom the greatest wrath.
14O ka makana malu, pale ae no ia i ka huhu; Pela hoi ka makana poli i ka inaina ikaika.
15It is joy to the just to do judgment: and dread to them that work iniquity.
15He olioli i ka mea pono ke hana ma ka pololei; He make no ko ka poe hana hewa.
16A man that shall wander out of the way of doctrine, shall abide in the company of the giants.
16O ke kanaka hele hewa mai ka aoao ae o ka naauao, E noho no oia ma ke anaina o ka poe malu make.
17He that loveth good cheer, shall be in want: he that loveth wine, and fat things, shall not be rich.
17O ka mea makemake i ka lealea, e ilihune auanei ia, O ka mea makemake i ka waina a me ka aila, aole ia e waiwai.
18The wicked is delivered up for the just: and the unjust for the righteous.
18Pani ka mea hewa i ka hakahaka no ka mea pono; Pela ka mea lawe hala no ka mea pololei.
19It is better to dwell in a wilderness, than with a quarrelsome and passionate woman.
19E aho ka noho noho ana ma ka waoakua. Aole me ka wahine huhu a me ka hakaka.
20There is a treasure to be desired, and oil in the dwelling of the just: and the foolish man shall spend it.
20Aia ka waiwai i makemakeia a me ka aila ma ka hale o ka mea naauao; A o ke kanaka lapuwale, moni iho la oia ia mea.
21He that followeth justice and mercy, shall find life, justice, and glory.
21O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, a me ka lokomaikai, E loaa ia ia ke ola a me ka pono a me ka nani.
22The wise man hath scaled the city of the strong, and hath cast down the strength of the confidence thereof.
22Pii ae ka mea naauao maluna o ke kulanakauhale o ka poe ikaika, Hoohiolo oia i ka ikaika a lakou i paulele ai.
23He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.
23O ka mea malama i kona waha a me kona alelo, Oia ka i hoopakele i kona uhane i ka popilikia.
24The proud and the arrogant is called ignorant, who in anger worketh pride.
24O ka haaheo, o ka hookano, o ka hoowahawaha, Oia ka inoa o ka mea hana ma ka huhu ikaika.
25Desires kill the slothful: for his hands have refused to work at all.
25O ka makemake o ka mea palaualelo oia kona mea e make ai; No ka mea, hoole kona mau lima i ka hana.
26He longeth and desireth all the day: but he that is just, will give, and will not cease.
26Kuko wale aku no ia a po ka la; Haawi aku hoi ka mea pono me ka aua ole.
27The sacrifices of the wicked are abominable, because they are offered of wickedness.
27O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia; Ua oi aku hoi ka hewa, ke lawe oia ia mea me ka manao ino.
28A lying witness shall perish: an obedient man shall speak of victory.
28O ka mea hoike wahahee, e make no ia; O ke kanaka hoolohe, oia ke olelo mau.
29The wicked man impudently hardeneth his face: but he that is righteous, correcteth his way.
29Hoopaakiki ke kanaka hewa i kona maka; O ka mea pololei hoi, hoopololei oia i kona aoao.
30There is no wisdom, there is no prudence, there is no counsel against the Lord.
30Aohe akamai, aohe noonoo; Aole hoi oleloao e hiki ai ke ku e aku ia Iehova.
31The horse is prepared for the day of battle: but the Lord giveth safety.
31Ua hoomakaukauia ka lio no ka la e kaua ai; Aka, ia Iehova no ka hoopakele ana.
