Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.
1HOOHEE wale ka mea hewa, aohe mea e hahai ana; O ka poe pono hoi, wiwo ole lakou me he liona la.
2For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
2No ka hewa o ka aina, nui no kolaila poe alii; A ma ke kanaka noonoo a ike hoi e paa loihi ana no ia.
3A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
3O ke kanaka ilihune e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Oia ka ua e hoopau ana i ka ai a pau.
4They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
4O ka poe haalele i ke kanawai, hoomaikai no lakou i ka mea hewa: O ka poe malama hoi i ke kanawai, ku e aku no i ua poe la.
5Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.
5Aole i ike ka poe aia i ka hoopono; A o ka poe imi ia Iehova, ike no i na mea a pau.
6Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.
6E aho ka mea ilihune ke hele oia ma ka pololei, I ka mea waiwai i hookekee i kona aoao.
7He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
7O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, he keiki naauao ia; O ka hoa no ka poe hookai wale, oia ka i hoohilahila i kona makuakane.
8He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
8O ka mea hoonui i kona waiwai ma ka uku kuala a me ke kaili wale, E hooiliili oia ia mea na ka mea e aloha aku i ka poe ilihune.
9He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
9O ka mea haliu aku i kona pepeiao aole hoolono i ke kanawai, E hoopailuaia kana pule.
10He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
10O ka mea kai hewa aku i ka poe pololei ma ka aoao hewa, Ma kona lua iho oia e haule ai; A o ka poe pololei hoi, e ili mai ka maikai no lakou.
11The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.
11Ua naauao no ke kanaka waiwai i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea ilihune a naauao hoi, oia ka i ike aku ia ia.
12In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.
12I ka hauoli ana o ka poe pono, nui ka hanohano; A i ke ku ana'e o ka poe hewa, ua hunaia ke kanaka.
13He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
13O ka mea huna i kona hewa iho, aole oia e pomaikai; Aka, o ka mea hooia a haalele hoi, e alohaia mai oia,
14Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
14Pomaikai ke kanaka ke mau aku kona makau; O ka mea hoopaakiki i kona naau, e haule oia i ka popilikia.
15As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
15O ka liona uwo a me ka bea holoholo, Oia ke alii hewa maluna o na kanaka ilihune.
16A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
16O ke alii naauao ole, nui kona hookaumaha ana; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka makee waiwai, e loihi no kona mau la.
17A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
17O ke kanaka hewa i ke koko o kekahi, E holo oia i ka lua; mai keakea kekahi ia ia.
18He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
18O ka mea hele pololei e ola oia; O ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e haule koke no ia.
19He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
19O ka mea mahi i ka aina e maona oia i ka ai; O ka mea hoopili mea ai mahope o ka poe lapuwale e piha oia i ka ilihune.
20A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
20O ke kanaka hooiaio, nui wale kona mau mea e pomaikai ai; O ka mea holo kiki mahope o ka waiwai, aole e ole kona hala.
21He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
21O ka manao ana i ko ke kanaka kino, aole ia he maikai; No kahi apana ai e lawehala no ua kanaka la.
22A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
22O ka mea hooikaika ma ka waiwai, he maka ino kona, Aole oia e ike o ka ilihune kana mea e loaa ai.
23He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
23O ka mea ao aku i ke kanaka, mahope iho e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai, Mamua o ka mea malimali me kona alelo.
24He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
24O ke mea kaili wale i ka kona makuakane a me ka kona makuwahine, Me ka i ana ae, Aole ia he hewa, Oia ka hoa no ka pepehi kanaka.
25He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
25O ka mea i haaheo ka naau, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova e lako loa oia.
26He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
26O ka mea paulele i kona naau iho, oia ka mea naaupo: O ka mea hele ma ka naauao, e hoopakeleia oia.
27He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
27O ka mea haawi wale na ka mea ilihune, aole oia e nele; A o ka mea i uhi ae i kona mau maka, e nui kona hoinoia mai.
28When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
28I ke ku ana o ka poe hewa, ua huna ke kanaka ia ia iho; A make lakou, alaila mahuahua ka poe pono.
