Solomona 17
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1MAIKAI hahi huna ai maloo me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka hale i piha i na mohai ke pili me ka hakaka.
1Better is a dry morsel with joy, than a house full of victims with strife.
2O ke kauwa noonoo, e noho oia maluna o ke keiki e hana hilahila ana; A mawaena o na hoahanau e loaa ia ia kekahi hooilina.
2A wise servant shall rule over foolish sons, and shall divide the inheritance among the brethren.
3He ipu hoohehee, no ke kala ia; no ke gula hoi he kapuahi uuku; Aka, na Iehova e hoao mai i na naau.
3As silver is tried by fire, and gold in the furnace: so the Lord trieth the hearts.
4O ka mea hewa la hoolohe oia i na lehelehe wahahee; O ka mea wahahee hoi, haliu kona pepeiao i ke elelo ino.
4The evil man obeyeth an unjust tongue: and the deceitful hearkeneth to lying lips.
5O ka mea hoomaewaewa i ka mea nele, Ua hoowahawaha oia i ka mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea hoi i olioli i ka poino, Aole ia e pakele i ka hoopai ana.
5He that despiseth the poor, reproacheth his Maker; and he that rejoiceth at another man’s ruin, shall not be unpunished.
6O ka lei o ka poe elemakule, oia na keiki a na keiki; O ka nani hoi o na keiki, oia na makuakane o lakou.
6Children’s children are the crown of old men: and the glory of children are their fathers.
7Aole i kupono i ka mea naaupo ka lehelehe pololei; Aole loa hoi i ke alii ka lehelehe wahahee.
7Eloquent words do not become a fool, nor lying lips a prince.
8He pohaku waiwai io ka makana i ka maka o ka mea nana ia; Ma na wahi a pau e loaa ana he mea ia e pono ai.
8The expectation of him that expecteth, is a most acceptable jewel: whithersoever he turneth himself, he understandeth wisely.
9O ka mea huna i ka hewa, oia ke imi i ke aloha; O ka mea hoolaha hou ae, hookaawale oia i na makamaka.
9He that concealeth a transgression. seeketh friendships: he that repeateth it again, separateth friends.
10Komo ke aoia mai iloko o ka mea naauao, Mamua o na hahau ana he haneri iloko o ka mea lapuwale.
10A reproof availeth more with a wise man, than a hundred stripes with a fool.
11Ma ke kipi wale no e imi ai ke kanaka ino; Nolaila, hoounaia ka ilamuku io na la.
11An evil man always seeketh quarrels: but a cruel angel shall be sent against him.
12E aho ke halawai ka bea keiki make me ke kanaka, Aole ka mea naaupo iloko o kona lapuwale.
12It is better to meet a bear robbed of her whelps, than a fool trusting in his own folly.
13O ka mea hana ino aku na ka mea hana pono mai, Aole e kaawale ka ino mai kona hale aku.
13He that rendereth evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
14E like me ka hookahe ana o ka wai, Pela ka hoomaka ana o ka hakaka; Nolaila, e oki e i ka hakaka mamua o kona mahuahua ana.
14The beginning of quarrels is as when one letteth out water: before he suffereth reproach he forsaketh judgment.
15O ka mea hoopono aku i ka mea hewa, A o ka mea hoahewa aku i ka mea pono, Ho mau mea hoopailua laua ia Iehova.
15He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, both are abominable before God.
16No ke aha la keia, he kumu kuai ma ka lima o ka mea lapuwale, E kuai aku ai i ke akamai, aohe ona manao malaila?
16What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.
17I na manawa a pau e aloha ana ka makamaka, A no ka la popilikia i hanau ai ka hoahanau.
17He that is a friend loveth at all times: and a brother is proved in distress.
18O ke kanaka naauao ole, pai oia i ka lima, Lilo ia i mea panai imua o kona makamaka.
18A foolish man will clap hands, when he is surety for his friend.
19O ka mea makemake i ke kipi, oia ka i makemake i ka hakaka; O ka mea hookiekie ae i kona ipuka, imi oia i ka make.
19He that studieth discords, loveth quarrels: and he that exalteth his door, seeketh ruin.
20O ka mea naau kekee, aole i loaa ia ia ka maikai; O ka mea elelo hoopunipuni, e haule oia i ka ino.
20He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
21O ka mea i hanau mai nana ke keiki lapuwale, he kaumaha kona; Aole e olioli ka makuakane o ke keiki naaupo.
21A fool is born to his own disgrace: and even his father shall not rejoice in a fool.
22O ka naau olioli, he laau lapaau ia e hooluolu ana; O ka uhane i hana pepe ia, hoomaloo ia i na iwi.
22A joyful mind maketh age flourishing: a sorrowful spirit drieth up the bones.
23Kaili ae ka mea hewa i ka waiwai kipe, I kona hoohaunaele ana i ka aoao pono.
23The wicked man taketh gifts out of the bosom, that he may pervert the paths of judgment.
24Imua i ke alo o ka mea noonoo malaila ka naauao; Aia hoi na maka o ka mea lapuwale, ma na welau o ka honua.
24Wisdom shineth in the face of the wise: the eyes of fools are in the ends of the earth.
25O ke keiki lapuwale, ke kaumaha ia no kona makuakane, He mea awahia hoi i ka mea nana ia i hanau mai.
25A foolish son is the anger of the father: and the sorrow of the mother that bore him.
26O ka hoopai hewa i ka mea pono, aole ia he maikai, Aole hoi ke papai aku i na'lii no ka pololei.
26It is no good thing to do hurt to the just: nor to strike the prince, who judgeth right.
27O ka mea ike nui, akahele oia i ka olelo; He uhane noho malie ko ke kanaka naauao.
27He that setteth bounds to his words. is knowing and wise: and the man of understanding is of a precious spirit.
28O ka mea naaupo hoi, i kona mumule ana, ua kuhiia oia he naauao; O ka mea pani i kona mau lehelehe hoi, he kanaka ike no ia.
28Even a fool, if he will hold his peace shall be counted wise: and if he close his lips, a man of understanding.
