Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?
1A OLE anei i hea mai ka naauao? Aole anei i pane mai ka ike i kona leo?
2Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.
2Maluna o na wahi kiekie, ma ke ala, Ma kahi o na alanui, ku ae la oia.
3Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
3Ma na ipuka, ma ke alo o ke kulanakauhale, Ma na wahi e komo ai, kahea mai la oia.
4O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
4Ke hea aku nei au ia oukou, e na kanaka; O ko'u leo hoi i na keiki a kanaka.
5O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.
5E na mea ike ole, e ike oukou i ke akamai; E hoonaauao hoi oukou, e ka poe naaupo.
6Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.
6E hoolohe mai, no ka mea, e hai ana au i na mea maikai; O ka oaka ana hoi o ko'u mau lehelehe ma na mea pono ia.
7My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.
7No ka mea, e hoike mai kuu waha i ka oiaio; He mea hoopailua ka hewa i ko'u mau lehelehe.
8All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
8Ma ka pono na olelo a pau a ko'u waha; Aole wahahee, aohe mea kekee malaila.
9They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
9Pau loa no ia i ka pololei i ka mea naauao, Ua kupono hoi i ka poe i loaa ka ike.
10Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.
10E koho oukou i ke aoia mai, aole ke kala, A me ka ike hoi mamua o ke gula maikai.
11For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.
11No ka mea, ua maikai ka naauao mamua o na momi; A o na mea i makemakeia a pau, aole i like me ia.
12I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.
12Owau hoi, o ka naauao, ke pili nei i ke akamai, Ua loaa ia'u ka ike i na mea e naauao ai.
13The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
13O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke inaina aku i ka hewa; O ka haaheo, o ka hookiekie, o ka aoao ino, O ka waha aaka, oia ka'u i hoowahawaha aku ai.
14Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
14Ia'u ka ike a me ke akamai; Owau no ka noonoo, ia'u hoi ka ikaika.
15By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
15Ma o'u nei no e nohoalii ai na alii, A e kau aku ai no hoi na kaukaualii i ke kanawai pono.
16By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
16Ma o'u nei no hoi e hoomalu ai na kiaaina, A me na'lii, a me na lunakanawai a pau o ka honua.
17I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.
17He aloha ko'u i ka poe e aloha mai ia'u; O ka poe imi pono mai, o lakou ke loaa ia'u.
18With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.
18Me au ka waiwai a me ka hanohano; O ka waiwai e mau ana hoi a me ka pono.
19For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
19Ua maikai ko'u hua mamua o ke gula a me ke gula maikai; He mea kohoia hoi ka waiwai ma o'u nei mamua o ke kala.
20I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
20Ma ke ala o ka pono ka'u e alakai ai, Mawaena hoi o na alanui o ka hoopono:
21That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
21I hooili au i ka waiwai no ka poe aloha mai ia'u, A e hoopiha au i ko lakou waihona waiwai.
22The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
22Na Iehova no wau i kinohou o kona noho ana, Mamua o kana hana ana i ka wa kahiko.
23I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
23Mai ka po mai ua hoonohoia au, Mai kinohi mai, mamua hoi o ka honua.
24The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
24I ka wa i ole ai na wahi hohonu, ua hanau no au, I wa i ole ai na puuawai i piha i ka wai.
25The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
25Mamua o ka hoonoho ana i na mauna, Mamua o na kuahiwi ua hanau au:
26He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.
26Aole hoi oia i hana i ka honua a me na kula, A me kahi huna lepo iki o ka honua.
27When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:
27I kona hohola ana i ka lani, owau no kekahi malaila, I kona kau ana i ke kanawai maluna o ka hohonu;
28When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:
28I kona hoolewalewa ana i na ao maluna, I kona hoonoho ana i na punawai o ka hohonu;
29When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;
29I kona kau ana i ke kanawai no ka moana, I ole e hu wale aku na kai mamua ona; I kona hookumu paa ana i ka honua:
30I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
30Alaila, owau pu kekahi me ia me he keiki hiwahiwa la; O kona olioli no au i kela la i keia la, E hauoli mau ana hoi imua o kona alo;
31Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
31E hauoli ana i na wahi i noho ai na kanaka o ka honua ona; O ko'u olioli nui hoi, aia me na keiki a kanaka.
32Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
32Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u; Pomaikai ka poe i malama mai i ko'u aoao.
33Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
33E hoolohe mai i ke ao ana a e hoomanao iho, Mai pale ae oukou.
34Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
34Pomaikai ke kanaka ke lohe mai i ka'u, He kiai hoi oia, i ko'u mau puka i kela la i keia la, Ke kakali hoi oia ma na kia o ko'u mau puka.
35He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
35No ka mea, o ka mea o'u i loaa ai, ua loaa ia ia ke ola, E loaa hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai e Iehova.
36But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.
36Aka, o ka mea i hana ino mai ia'u, ua pepehi oia i kona uhane iho; O ka poe inaina mai ia'u oia ka i koho i ka make.
