1My son, forget not my law, and let thy heart keep my commandments.
1E KUU keiki, mai haalele oe i ko'u kanawai, E waiho hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ma kou naau.
2For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.
2No ka mea, oia ka mea e nui ai na la a me na makahiki o kou ola ana, A o ka malu hoi e haawiia ia oe.
3Let not mercy and truth leave thee, put them about thy neck, and write them in the tables of thy heart:
3I ole e haalele ia oe ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha; E hawele ia mau mea ma kou a-i; E kakau hoi ma ka papa o ka naau.
4And thou shalt And grace and good understanding before God and men.
4Pela e loaa'i ka lokomaikai a me ka ike oiaio, Imua o Iehova a me na kanaka.
5Have confidence in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not upon thy own prudence.
5E paulele ia Iehova me kou naau a pau; Mai hilinai hoi ma kou naauao iho.
6In all thy ways think on him, and he will direct thy steps.
6Ma kou aoao a pau ia ia no oe e nana aku ai, A nana no e hoopololei i kou hele ana.
7I Be not wise in thy own conceit: fear God, and depart from evil:
7Mai hooakamai oe ma kou manao iho; E makau ia Iehova a e haalele i ka hewa.
8For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.
8Oia ke ola no kou mau olona, A me ka lolo no kou mau iwi.
9Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
9E hoonani ia Iehova ma kou waiwai, A me na hua mua o na mea a pau i loaa'i ia oe:
10And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
10Alaila, e hoopihaia kou waihona waiwai a hu, E hu ae kau mau mea kaomi waina i ka waina hou.
11My son, reject not the correction of the Lord: and do not faint when thou art chastised by him:
11E kuu keiki, mai hoole oe i ke aoia mai e Iehova; Mai pauaho oe i kona hooponopono ana mai.
12For whom the Lord loveth, he chastiseth: and as a father in the son he pleaseth himself.
12No ka mea, o ka mea a Iehova i aloha'i oia kana i paipai mai. Me he makua la i ke keiki ana i makemake ai.
13Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom and is rich in prudence:
13Pomaikai ke kanaka ke loaa ia ia ka naauao, A o ke kanaka hoi i makaukau i ka ike.
14The purchasing thereof is better than the merchandise of silver, and her fruit than the chiefest and purest gold:
14No ka mea, ua oi aku ka waiwai o ia mea mamua o ke kala, A o ke kuai ana hoi mamua o ke gula.
15She is more precious than all riches: and all the things that are desired, are not to be compared with her.
15Ua maikai oia mamua o na momi; A o na mea a pau au e makemake ai, aole e liko me ia ka maikai.
16Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
16Aia ma kona lima akau ka loihi o na la; A ma kona lima hema ka waiwai a me ka hanohano.
17Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceable.
17O kona mau aoao he mau aoao oluolu no, Ua pau hoi kona mau alanui i ka maluhia,
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold on her: and he that shall retain her is blessed.
18Oia ka laau o ke ola no ka poe e hoopaa ana ia ia, Poinaikai hoi ka mea e apo ana ia ia.
19The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth, hath established the heavens by prudence.
19Ma ke akamuai i hookumu iho ai o Iehova i ka honua; A ma ka ike i kau aku ai i ka lani.
20By his wisdom the depths have broken out, and the clouds grow thick with dew.
20Ma kona ike hoi i wawahiia'i na wahi hohonu, A ninini mai no na ao i ka ua.
21My son, let not these things depart from thy eyes: keep the law and counsel:
21E kuu keiki e, mai huli e aku kou mau maka; E hoopaa i ka naauao a me ka ike.
22And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.
22He ola no ia no kou uhane, He hanohano no ia i kou a-i.
23Then shalt thou walk confidently in thy way, and thy foot shall not stumble:
23Alaila, e hele makau ole oe ma kou ala, A o kou wawae hoi, aole ia e palaha.
24If thou sleep, thou shalt not fear: thou shalt rest, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
24I kou moe ana, aole oe e makau; E moe iho no oe, a e oluolu kou hiamoe ana.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, nor of the power of the wicked falling upon thee.
25Mai weliweli oe i ka mea e makau ai ke hikilele mai, Aole hoi i ka luku ana o ka poe hewa ke hiki mai.
26For the Lord will be at thy side, and will keep thy foot that thou be not taken.
26No ka mea, o Iehova no kou mea e peulele ai, E malama no oia i kou wawae i ole no e heiia.
27Do not withhold him from doing good, who is able: if thou art able, do good thyself also.
27Mai aua oe i ka maikai i ka mea e pono ai ia, Ke hiki i kou lima ke hana aku.
28Say not to thy friend: Go, and come again: and tomorrow I will give to thee: when thou canst give at present.
28Mai olelo oe i kou hoanoho, O hele oe a hoi mai, apopo e haawi aku au, Ke waiho wale ia mea ia oe.
29Practise not evil against thy friend, when he hath confidence in thee.
29Mai imi hala oe i kou hoanoho, No ka mea, ke noho la oia ma ou la me ka maluhia.
30Strive not against a man without cause, when he hath done thee no evil.
30Mai hoopaapaa hala ole oe me ke kanaka, Ina aole oia i hana hewa aku ia oe.
31Envy not the unjust man, and do not follow his ways:
31Mai hoolalike oe me ke kanaka huhu, Mai koho hoi oe i kekahi aoao ona.
32For every mocker is an abomination to the Lord, and his communication is with the simple.
32No ka mea, he mea hoopailua ka aia ia Iehova, O ka poe pololei oia kona poe hoakuka.
33Want is from the Lord in the house of the wicked: but the habitations of the just shall be blessed.
33O ka hoino o Iehova aia ma ka hale o ka mea hewa, Hoopomaikai oia i kahi noho ai o ka poe pono.
34He shall scorn the scorners, and to the meek he will give grace.
34E hoowahawaha mai oia i ka poe hoowahawaha; E haawi mai oia i ka lokomaikai i ka poe i haahaa ka naau.
35The wise shall possess glory: the promotion of fools is disgrace.
35E ili mai ka hanohano no ka poe naauao; O ka hookiekieia mai o ka poe hewa, he mea hilahila ia.
