Solomona 16
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1O KA makaukau o ko ke kanaka naau, A me ka pane ana o ke elelo, no Iehova mai ia.
1It is the part of man to prepare the soul: and of the Lord to govern the tongue.
2O na aoao a pau o ke kanaka ua maemae i kona maka iho; Aka, kaupaona o Iehova i na uhane.
2All the ways of a man are open to his eyes: the Lord is the weigher of spirits.
3E hooili aku i kau mau hana maluna o Iehova, A e hookupaaia kou mau manao.
3Lay open thy works to the Lord: and thy thoughts shall be directed.
4Hana iho la o Iehova i na mea a pau nona iho; I ka mea hewa hoi kekahi no ka la e poiuo ai.
4The Lord hath made all things for himself: the wicked also for the evil day.
5He hoopailua ia Iehova na naau kiekie a pau; Ina e kui kahi lima i kahi lima, aole nae e ole kona hoopaiia.
5Every proud man is an abomination to the Lord: though hand should be joined to hand, he is not innocent. The beginning of a good way is to do justice; and this is more acceptable with God, than to offer sacrifices.
6Ma ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio ua kalaia ka hewa; Ma ka makau ia Iehova ka haalele ana i ka hewa.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is redeemed: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
7I ka manao oluolu ana o Iehova i ka aoao o ke kanaka, Noho launa no kona poe enemi ia ia.
7When the ways of man shall please the Lord, he will convert even his enemies to peace.
8Maikai kahi mea iki me ka pono hoi kekahi, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pono ole.
8Better is a little with justice, than great revenues with iniquity.
9Noonoo iho la ko ke kanaka naau i kona aoao iho; Aka, na Iehova e alakai i kona mau kapuwai.
9The heart of man disposeth his way: but the Lord must direct his steps.
10Aia ka olelo kupono ma na lehelehe o ke alii; Ma ka hooponopono ana aole i hewa kona waha.
10Divination is in the lips of the king, his mouth shall not err in judgment.
11O ke kaupaona a me na mea anapaona pololei, na Iehova no ia; O kana hana no na mea anapaona a pau iloko o ka eke.
11Weight and balance are judgments of the Lord: and his work all the weights of the bag.
12He mea hoopailua no na alii ke hana hewa; No ka mea, ma ka pono i paa'i ka nohoalii.
12They that act wickedly are abominable to the king: for the throne is established by justice.
13O ka makemake o na'lii. oia na lehelehe pono, A o ka mea olelo pololei, oia ka i alohaia.
13Just lips are the delight of kings: he that speaketh right things shall be loved.
14O ka huhu o ke alii, o na elele ia no ka make; O ke kanaka akamai, oia ke hoomaalili aku.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: and the wise man will pacify it.
15Ma ka maka oluolu o ke alii ke ola, O kona lokomaikai hoi ua like me ke ao i ke kuaua hope.
15In the cheerfulness of the king’s countenance is life: and his clemency is like the latter rain.
16O ka loaa ana o ke akamai, ua maikai ia mamua o ke gula; O ka loaa ana o ka naauao, e pono ke kohoia mamua o ke kala.
16Get wisdom, because it is better than gold: and purchase prudence, for it is more precious than silver.
17O ke alanui o ka poe pololei, hele ae la ia mai ka hewa aku; O ka mea malama i kona uhane, oia ke kiai i kona aoao.
17The path of the just departeth from evils: he that keepeth his soul keepeth his way.
18Mamua o ka hina ana, ka haaheo, A mamua o ka haule ana ka naau kiekie.
18Pride goeth before destruction: and the spirit is lifted up before a fall.
19E aho ka naau haahaa iwaena o ka poe akahai, Mamua o ka hoopuunaue ana i ka waiwai pio me ka poe haaheo.
19It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the proud.
20O ka mea huli pono i kekahi mea e loaa ia ia ka maikai: O ka mea paulele ia Iehova e pomaikai ana oia.
20The learned in word shall find good things: and he that trusteth in the Lord is blessed.
21O ka mea naau akamai, e kapaia he naauao; Ma ka oluolu o na lehelehe e mahuahua ai ka ike.
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words shall attain to greater things.
22He punawai ola ka naauao i ka mea nona ia; O ke aoia mai o ka poe lapuwale, he lapuwale no ia.
22Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.
23O ka mea naauao, ao no oia i kona waha iho; Hooponopono hoi oia i kona mau lehelehe.
23The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth: and shall add grace to his lips.
24He mea ono na olelo oluolu. He ono i ka uhane, a he ola i ka iwi.
24Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25Pololei kekahi aoao i ko ke kanaka manao; Aka, o kona hope, oia na aoao o ka make.
25There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death.
26O ka mea hana, hana oia nana iho: O kona waha ka i koi mai ia ia.
26The soul of him that laboureth, laboureth for himself, because his mouth hath obliged him to it.
27O ke kanaka aia, huai oia i ka ino; A ma kona mau lehelehe he ahi e aa ana.
27The wicked man diggeth evil, and in his lips is a burning fire.
28O ke kanaka hoopaapaa, hoeueu oia i ka hakaka; A o ka mea holoholo olelo, hookaawale no ia i na makamaka.
28A perverse man stirreth up quarrels: and one full of words separateth princes.
29O ke kanaka huhu, hoowalewale oia i kona hoalauna, Alakai hoi ia ia ma ka aoao maikai ole.
29An unjust man allureth his friend: and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
30Hoopili oia i kona mau maka e noonoo ino ana: Naunau oia i kona lehelehe a hoomaopopo i ka hewa.
30He that with fixed eyes deviseth wicked things, biting his lips, bringeth: evil to pass.
31He lei naui ke poohina, Ke loaa ia ma ka aoao o ka pono.
31Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.
32Maikai ke ahonui mamua o ka ikaika; A o ka mea hoomalu i kona uhane mamua o ka mea hoopio I ke kulanakanhale.
32The patient man is better than the valiant: and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh cities.
33Ma ka puolo i hooleiia ai ka hailona, Na Iehova nae ka hooponopono ana.
33Lots are cast into the lap, but they are disposed of by the Lord.
