Solomona 11
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
World English Bible
1O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
2A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
2When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
3O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
4O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
4Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
5O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
7I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
7When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
8Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
8A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
9Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
9With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
10I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
12O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
12One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
13O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
13One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
14Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
14Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
15E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
15He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
16O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
16A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
17O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
17The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
18O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
18Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
19He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
20He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
20Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
21Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
25O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
26O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
26People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
27O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
27He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
28O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
29O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
29He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
30O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
31Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
31Behold, the righteous shall be repaid on the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
