Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1As snow in summer, and rain in harvest, so glory is not seemly for a fool.
1E LIKE me ka hau i ke kau, E like me ka ua i ka wa e ohi ai, Pela i ku ole ai ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale.
2As a bird flying to other places, and a sparrow going here or there: so a curse uttered without cause shall come upon a man.
2E like me ka zepora e auwana ana, E like me ka derora e lele ana, Pela ka poino, aole ia e hiki wale mai.
3A whip for a horse, and a snaffle for an ass, and a rod for the back of fools.
3I mea hahau no ka lio, i kaulawaha no ka hoki, I laau hahau hoi no ke kua o na mea lapuwale.
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou be made like him.
4Mai olelo aku i ka mea lapuwale e like me kona naaupo ana, O like oe me ia.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he imagine himself to be wise.
5E olelo no i ka mea lapuwale e like me kona naaupo ana, O naauao oia i kona maka iho.
6He that sendeth words by a foolish messenger, is lame of feet and drinketh iniquity.
6O ka mea oki ne i na wawae a loaa ia ia ka poino, Oia ka i kauoha aku i na manao ma ka lima o ka mea lapuwale.
7As a lame man hath fair legs in vain: so a parable is unseemly in the mouth of fools.
7E lawe aku i na wawae o ka mea oopa, A me ka olelonane mailoko ae o ka waha o ka poe lapuwale.
8As he that casteth a stone into the heap of Mercury: so is he that giveth honour to a fool.
8E like me ka nakii ana i ka iliili ma ka maa a paa, Pela ka haawi ana i ka hanohano no ka mea lapuwale.
9As if a thorn should grow in the hand of a drunkard: so is a parable in the mouth of fools.
9O ka mea oioi e o ana i ka lima o ka mea ona, Oia ka olelonane ma ka waha o ka poe lapuwale.
10Judgment determineth causes: and he that putteth a fool to silence, appeaseth anger.
10O ka mea nui nana i hana na mea a pau, Oia ka mea nana e hoopai i ka mea lapuwale a e hoopai hoi i ka poe lawehala.
11As a dog that returneth to his vomit, so is the fool that repeateth his folly.
11E like me ka ilio i hoi hou aku i kona luai, Pela ka mea naaupo e hoi hou ana i kona lapuwale.
12Hast thou seen a man wise in his own conceit? there shall be more hope of a fool than of him.
12Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka naauao i kona manao iho? He lana ka manao no ka mea naaupo aole nona.
13The slothful man saith: There is a lion in the way, and a lioness in the roads.
13I ae la ka mea palaualelo, He liona ma ke ala, He liona iwaena o ke kuamoo.
14As the door turneth upon its hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.
14O ka luli ana o ke pani ma kona ami, Oia ka mea palaualelo ma kona moena.
15The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and it grieveth him to turn it to his mouth.
15Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ke pa, A he mea kaumaha ia ia ke hapai hou ae ia i kona waha.
16The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.
16He naauao loa ka mea pulaualelo i kona manao iho, Mamua o na kanaka ehiku e hoike ana i ka oiaio.
17As he that taketh a dog by the ears, so is he that passeth by in anger, and meddleth with another man’s quarrel.
17O ka mea lalau i ka ilio ma na pepeiao, Oia ka mea e maalo ana, a lawe pu i ka hakaka pili ole ia ia.
18As he is guilty that shooteth arrows, and lances unto death:
18E like me ka mea e hooleilei ana i na ihe wela, a me na pua a me ka make;
19So is the man that hurteth his friend deceitfully: and when he is taken, saith: I did it in jest.
19Pela ke kanaka e hoopunipuni ana i kona hoanoho, I ae la hoi, Aole anei he paani ko'u?
20When the wood faileth, the fire shall go out: and when the talebearer is taken away, contentions shall cease.
20I ole ka wahie, e pio no ke ahi, I ole ka mea holoholo olelo, pau ka hakaka.
21As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire, so an angry man stirreth up strife.
21O ka nanahu i na nanahu wela, a me ka wahie i ke ahi, Oia ke kanaka huhu e hookonokono ana i ka hakaka.
22The words of a talebearer are as it were simple, but they reach to the innermost parts of the belly.
22O na olelo a ka mea holoholo olelo, Ua like no ia me na olelo paani, Komo ilalo nae ia a iloko lilo o ka opu.
23Swelling lips joined with a corrupt heart, are like an earthen vessel adorned with silver dross.
23O ke kala maemae ole i hoopiliia me kahi pohue, Oia na lehelehe e alohaloha ana me ka naau ino.
24An enemy is known by his lips, when in his heart he entertaineth deceit.
24O ka mea inaina, huna oia ma kona mau lehelehe, A iloko ona iho i waiho ai oia i ka hoopunipuni.
25When he shall speak low, trust him not: because there are seven mischiefs in his heart.
25Ina i oluolu kana olelo, mai manaoio aku ia ia; No ka mea, ehiku mau mea ino iloko o kona naau.
26He that covereth hatred deceitfully, his malice shall be laid open in the public assembly.
26O ka mea i hunaia kona inaina i ka hoopunipuni, E hoikeia kona hewa imua o ke anaina kanaka.
27He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that rolleth a stone, it shall return to him.
27O ka mea eli i ka lua, oia ke haule ilaila; O ka mea olokaa i ka pohaku, e hoi hou mai ia maluna ona.
28A deceitful tongue loveth not truth: and a slippery mouth worketh ruin.
28O ke elelo wahahee, oia ke inaina aku i ka mea poino malaila; O ka waha malimali, oia ke hana i ka mea e make ai.
