Solomona 12
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1O KA mea makemake i ke aoia mai, oia ka i makemake i ka ike; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ke aoia mai, he holoholona ia.
1Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
2O ka mea maikai, e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikai no Iehova mai; A e hoohewa mai oia i ke kanaka hoopunipuni.
2A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
3Aole ma ka hewa e ku paa'i ke kanaka; O ka hookumu ana o ka poe pono, aole ia e neenee ae.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
4O ka wahine noho pono he papale alii oia i kana kane; Aka, me he mea popopo la i kona mau iwi ka wahine e hoohilahila aku.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
5O ka manao ana o ka poe pono, aia ma ka hoopono; O ke kuka ana o ka poe hewa, aia ma ka hoopunipuni.
5The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
6O ka olelo a ka poe hewa, he hoohalua ia i ke koko; Aka, o ka waha o ka poe pololei, oia ka lakou e hoopakele aku.
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
7Ua hooauhulihia ka poe hewa, a nalowale; E ku mau ana hoi ka hale o ka poe pono.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
8E hoomaikaiia ke kanaka e like me kona akamai; Aka, o ka mea naau lokoino, e hoowahawahaia oia.
8A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
9O ka mea i hoowahawahaia, a he kauwa nana, Oi aku oia i ka mea hoohanohano ia ia iho, a nele i ka ai ole.
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
10Manao no ke kanaka pono i ka ola o kona holoholona; Aka, o ke aloha o ka poe hewa, he lokoino no ia.
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
11O ka mea i mahi i kona aina, e maona no i ka ai; Aka, o ka hoopili mea ai me ka poe palaualelo, he lapuwale ia.
11He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
12He lealea i ka mea hewa ka punihei ino ana; O ke kumu o ka poe pono e hua mai no ia.
12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13Ma ka ino o na lehelehe i puniheiia'i ka mea hewa; E puka mai no hoi ka mea pono noloko ae o ka pilikia.
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
14Ma ka hua o ka waha, e maona ai ke kanaka i ka maikai; O ka uku o ko ke kanaka lima e haawiia ia ia.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15O ka aoao o ka mea naaupo, ua pololei ia i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, ua naauao oia.
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
16O ka huhu o ka naaupo o ike koke ia; Hoonalowale ka mea maalea i ka mea e hilahila'i.
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
17O ka mea hai aku i ka oiaio, hoike oia i ka pono; A o ka hoike wahahee hoi, hoike oia i ka hoopunipuni.
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
18Olelo kekahi e like me ka hou ana o ka pahikaua; A o ke elelo o ka poe naauao, ma ka hoola ia.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
19O na lehelehe oiaio, e mau ana no ia; O ke elelo wahahee e pau koke no ia.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
20He hoopunipuni ma ka naau o ka poe manao ino; A no ka poe kukakuka i ka maluhia, he olioli.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
21Aole e loohia mai ka mea pono e ka poino; Aka, piha no ka poe hewa i na mea e ino ai.
21There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
22He mea hoopailua ia Iehova na lehelehe hoopunipuni; O ka poe hana ma ka oiaio, oia kona olioli.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
23O ke kanaka noeau, e waiho ana ia ia ka ike; O ka naau o na naaupo, hoike wale no ia i ka lapuwale.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24O ka lima o ka poe hana mau e lilo oia i haku; O ka mea hoomolowa, malalo no ia o ka hookupu.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25O ke kaumaha iloko o ka naau o ka kanaka, he mea e kulou iho ai; Aka, ma ka olelo maikai ia e hooluoluia'i.
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
26Ua maikai ka mea pono mamua o kona hoanoho; O ka aoao o ka poe hewa, e hoowalewale oia ia lakou.
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27Aole o hopu ka molowa i kana mea ai; Aka, o ka waiwai o ke kanaka maikai, he gula ia.
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
28Ma ke ala pono ke ola, Ma kolaila kuamoo no hoi, aole e make.
28In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
