Solomona 18
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1NO ka makemake wale e imi ai ke kanaka manao ku e, A pale aku no i na manao pono a pau.
1He who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound judgment.
2Aole i haliu mai ka mea lapuwale i ka ike, Aka, ma ka hoike ana i kona naau.
2A fool does not delight in understanding, but only in airing his opinions.
3A hiki mai ka hewa, hiki mai no hoi ka hoowahawaha; A o ka hilahila pu kekahi me ka hoomaewaewa.
3With a wicked man comes contempt as well, and shame is accompanied by disgrace.
4He wai hohonu na olelo o ko ke kanaka waha; He punawai e hu ana, ke kumu o ka naauao.
4The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.
5O ka hooluolu aku i ka mea hewa, aole ia he maikai; Aole hoi ka opea aku i ka mea pono ma ka hookolokolo ana.
5Showing partiality to the wicked is not good, nor is depriving the innocent of justice.
6O na lehelehe o ka mea lapuwale, aia no ma ka hoopaapaa; Ua maopopo kona waha e pono ke hahauia.
6A fool’s lips bring him strife, and his mouth invites a beating.
7O ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, oia kona mea e make ai; A o kona mau lehelehe hoi, oia ke pahele o kona uhane.
7A fool’s mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to his soul.
8O na olelo ahiahi, ua like me na olelo paani, A komo no nae iloko loa o ka opu.
8The words of a gossip are like choice morsels that go down into the inmost being.
9O ka mea hoomolowa ma kana hana ana, He kaikaina oia o ka mea hoomaunauna wale.
9Whoever is slothful in his work is brother to him who destroys.
10He pakaua ikaika ka inoa o Iehova; Malaila e holo ai ka mea pono a maluhia iho la.
10The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.
11O ka waiwai o ka mea waiwai, oia kona kulanakauhale paa I ka pa, Ua like hoi me ka pa kiekie i kona manao.
11A rich man’s wealth is his fortified city; it is like a high wall in his imagination.
12Mamua o ka make, ua haaheo ka naau o ke kanaka, Mamua hoi o ka hookiekieia mai, he akahai.
12Before his downfall a man’s heart is proud, but humility comes before honor.
13O ka mea hoopuka i kona manao mamua o kona lohe ana, He lapuwale ia, a he mea ia nona e hilahila ai.
13He who answers a matter before he hears it— this is folly and disgrace to him.
14O ka uhane o ke kanaka, hoomanawanui no ia i ka nawaliwali; Aka, o ka uhane e eha ana, owai la e hiki ai ke hoomanawanui?
14The spirit of a man can endure his sickness, but who can survive a broken spirit?
15O ka naau o ka mea naauao e loaa ia ia ka ike; O ka pepeiao hoi o ka poe akamai, e imi no i ka naauao.
15The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it out.
16O ko ke kanaka makana, he mea ia e hookaawale ai i wahi nona; A e kai aku hoi ia ia imua o na kanaka koikoi.
16A man’s gift opens doors for him, and brings him before great men.
17Ua pono ka mea i hoopiiia i kana olelo mua ana; Aka, hele mai kona hoanoho a imi ae i kona ano.
17The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
18O ka hailona ana ka mea e pau ai ka hoopaapaa; He mea hoi e uwao ai iwaena o ka ikaika.
18Casting the lot ends quarrels and separates strong opponents.
19Aole ikaika ke kulanakauhale paa i ka pa e like me ka hoahanau i hoonaukiukiia; A o ko laua hoopaapaa ana, ua like me na kaolahao o ka halealii.
19An offended brother is harder to win than a fortified city, and disputes are like the bars of a castle.
20Ma na hua o ko ke kanaka waha, e maona ai kona opu; A ma ka waiwai o kona mau lehelehe e piha ai oia.
20From the fruit of his mouth a man’s belly is filled; with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
21Ma ke elelo ka make a me ke ola; O ka mea makemake malaila, e ai oia i kona hua.
21Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
22O ka mea loaa ia ia ka wahine, loaa no ka mea maikai, Ua loaa hoi ia ia ka lokamaikai no Iehova mai.
22He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD.
23He noi ko ke kanaka ilihune; A o ka mea waiwai, ua olelo kalakala oia.
23The poor man pleads for mercy, but the rich man answers harshly.
24O ke kanaka i nui na hoalauna, e poino oia malaila; Aka, o kekahi hoaaloha ua oi aku kona pipili ana mamua o ko ka hoahanau.
24A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who stays closer than a brother.
