Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
1E KUU keiki e, e malama oe i ka'u mau olelo, E waiho pu hoi i ka'u kauoha me oe.
2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
2E malama oe i ka'u kauoha i ola oe, A me ko'u kanawai hoi, e like me ke kii onohi o kou mau maka.
3Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
3E hawele oe ia mau mea ma kou mau manamanalima, E kakau hoi ia mau mea ma ka papa o kou naau.
4Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
4E i ae oe i ka naauao, O oe no ko'u kaikuwahine; E kapa aku oe i ka ike, he hoalauna:
5That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
5I malamaia oe i ka wahine e, I ka malihini hoi i hoomalimali mai me kana olelo.
6For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,
6No ka mea, ma ka puka o ko'u hale, Ma ko'u puka makani, nana aku la au;
7And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
7Ike iho la au iwaena o ka poe noonoo ole, Ike iho la hoi au mawaena o ka poe opiopio, I kekahi kanaka ui manao ole.
8Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.
8Hele ae la ia ma ke ala e kokoke ana i kona huina, Hele ae la oia ma ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai i kona hale;
9In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,
9I ke ahiahi, i ka napoo ana o ka la, I ke aumoe, i ka poeleele;
10And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,
10Aia hoi, halawai pu me ia kekahi wahine, Ua kahiko hookamakama ia; Ua maalea kona naau.
11Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
11He walaau kona a me ka hoolohe ole, Aole noho kona mau wawae ma kona hale iho.
12Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
12I kekahi wa mawaho oia, I kekahi wa ae ma ke alanui, A hoohalua oia ma na huina a pau.)
13And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
13Apo iho la kela ia ia a honi iho la, a Me ka maka hilahila ole, i aku la ia ia,
14I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
14He mau mohai aloha ko'u; I keia la no, mohai aku la au i ka'u mea i hoohiki ai
15Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
15Nolaila, i hele mai nei au e halawai me oe, E imi hoi ia oe, a ua loaa iho nei.
16I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
16Hohola iho la au i ko'u wahi moe me ke kapa, Me ke kapa onionio hoi mai Aigapita mai
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17Kopipi iho la au i ko'u wahi moe I ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kinamona.
18Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
18Ina kaua i maona i ke aloha a hiki i kakahiaka, E lealea kaua i ke aloha.
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
19No ka mea, o ke kane, aole ia ma kona hale, Ua hele oia ma kahi loihi e aku.
20He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.
20Lawe oia i ka eke kala ma kona lima, A piha ka mahina, alaila, e hoi mai oia i kona hale.
21She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
21Ua paa kela i ka nui o kana olelo maalea; Ua lilo hoi oia i ka malimali ana o kona mau leheiehe.
22Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
22Ukali koke oia mahope ona, E like me ka hele ana o ka bipi i kona wahi e maka ai; E like hoi me ka naaopo i hoopaiia mai ma ka laau kupee;
23Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
23A o aku la ka pua i kona ake, E like me ka lele ana o ka manu i ke pahele, Aole ona ike no kona oia ia.
24Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
24Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u. E maliu mai oukou i ka olelo a ko'u waha.
25Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
25Mai huli ae kou naau ma kona aoao; Mai hele hewa oe ma kona alanui.
26For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
26No ka mea, manomano ka poe i hina ia ia me ka eha, Na mea ikaika hoi, ua pau ia ia i ka make.
27Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
27Ma kona hale ke ala e hiki ai i ka po, E iho ana ilalo i ka make.
