1The words of king Lamuel. The vision wherewith his mother instructed him.
1NA olelo a Lemuela ke alii, ka wanana a kona makuwahine i ao mai ai ia ia.
2What, O my beloved, what, O the beloved of my womb, what, O the beloved of my vows?
2Heaha, e ka'u keiki? Heaha, e ke keiki a ko'u opu? Heaha hoi, e ke keiki no ko'u hoohiki ana?
3Give not thy substance to women, and thy riches to destroy kings.
3Mai haawi aku i kou ikaika i na wahine, Aole hoi i kou aoao i ka mea e make ai na alii.
4Give not to kings, O Lamuel, give not wine to kings: because there is no secret where drunkenness reigneth:
4Aole na na'lii, e Lemuela e, Aole na na'lii e inu i ka waina, Aole hoi na ka poe aialo e inu i ka mea ikaika;
5And lest they drink and forget judgments, and pervert the cause of the children of the poor.
5O inu lakou a hoopoina i ke kanawai, A kapae i ka pono o ka poe pilikia.
6Give strong drink to them that are sad: and wine to them that are grieved in mind:
6E haawi i ka mea ikaika i ka mea e make ana, A i ka waina hoi i ka poe i kaumaha ka naau.
7Let them drink, and forget their want, and remember their sorrow no more.
7E inu iho oia a o hoopoina i kona ilihune, Aole hoi e hoomanao hou ae i kona mea kaumaha.
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass.
8E oaka oe i kou waha no ka mea kuli, No ka hoopono i na keiki makua ole a pau.
9Open thy mouth, decree that which is just, and do justice to the needy and poor.
9E oaka oe i kou waha, e hooponopono ma ka pololei, E imi hoi i ka pono no ka poe ilihune a me ka mea nele.
10Who shall find a valiant woman? far and from the uttermost coasts is the price of her.
10Owai ka mea i loaa ia ia ka wahine noho pono? He waiwai oia i oi aku i ko na momi.
11The heart of her husband trusteth in her, and he shall have no need of spoils.
11Paulele ia ia ka naau o kana kane, Aole e nele oia i ka loaa ole.
12She will render him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.
12He maikai no kana e hana'i ia ia aole hoi ho hewa, I na la a pau loa o kona ola ana.
13She hath sought wool and flax, and hath wrought by the counsel of her hands.
13Imi oia i ka huluhipa a me ke olona, Oluolu oia i ka hana me kona mau lima.
14She is like the merchant’s ship, she bringeth her bread from afar.
14Ua like no ia me na moku kalepa, Mai kahi loihi e mai i loaa'i ia ia kana ai.
15And she hath risen in the night, and given a prey to her household, and victuals to her maidens.
15I ka wanaao, ala oia a haawi i ka ai na ko kona hale, A me ka mea e maona ai na kana poe kauwawahine.
16She hath considered a field, and bought it: with the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard.
16Noonoo oia i ka mahinaai a kuai lilo mai; Me ka hua o kona mau lima, kanu iho no oia i ka malawaina.
17She hath girded her loins with strength, and hath strengthened her arm.
17Kaei oia i kona puhaka me ka ikaika, Hooikaika hoi oia i kona mau lima.
18She hath tasted and seen that her traffic is good: her lamp shall not be put out in the night.
18Hoao oia i kona waiwai i maikai ia; Aole i pio kona kukui i ka po.
19She hath put out her hand to strong things, and her fingers have taken hold of the spindle.
19O aku kona mau lima ma kahi e kau ai ke olona, Lalau kona mau lima i ka mea milo lope.
20She hath opened her hand to the needy, and stretched out her hands to the poor.
20O aku oia i kona mau lima i ka poe nele; Kikoo oia i kona mau lima i ka poe ilihune.
21She shall not fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed with double garments.
21Aole ona makau e ana ko kona hale; No ka mea, pau ko kona hale i ke komo kapa ulaula.
22She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry: fine linen, and purple is her covering.
22Hana oia i na kapa hoalii nona iho; O ke kilika a me ka mea ulaula, oia kona kahiko ana.
23Her husband is honourable in the gates, when he sitteth among the senators of the land.
23Ua ikeia kana kane ma na ipuka, I kona noho pu ana me na lunakahiko o ka aina.
24She made fine linen, and sold it, and delivered a girdle to the Chanaanite.
24Hana oia i ka lole olona maikai, a kuai aku; Haawi oia i na kaei i ka poe kalepa.
25Strength and beauty are her clothing, and she shall laugh in the latter day.
25O ka ikaika, a o ka hanohano, oia kona kahiko ana; E hauoli oia i ka manawa mahope aku.
26She hath opened her mouth to wisdom, and the law of clemency is on her tongue.
26Oaka oia i kona waha ma ka naauao; A o ke aloha oia ke kanawai o kona alelo.
27She hath looked well to the paths of her house, and hath not eaten her bread idle.
27Kiai oia i ka hele ana o ko kona hale, A o ka ai no ka palaualelo, aole oia e ai iho.
28Her children rose up, and called her blessed: her husband, and he praised her.
28Ku ae kana mau keiki a hoomaikai ia ia; O kana kane hoi, mahalo oia ia ia.
29Many daughters have gathered together riches: thou hast surpassed them all.
29Nui na kaikamahine i hana pono, A ua oi aku oe mamua o lakou a pau.
30Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: the woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
30He hoopunipuni ke alohaia mai, he mea ole ka maka maikai; O ka wahine hoi i makau ia Iehova, oia ke hiilaniia.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands: and let her works praise her in the gates.
31E haawi aku nana i ka hua o kona mau lima; O kana mau hana, oia ke hiilani ia ia ma na ipuka.
