Solomona 18
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1NO ka makemake wale e imi ai ke kanaka manao ku e, A pale aku no i na manao pono a pau.
1He that hath a mind to depart from a friend seeketh occasions: he shall ever be subject to reproach.
2Aole i haliu mai ka mea lapuwale i ka ike, Aka, ma ka hoike ana i kona naau.
2A fool receiveth not the words of prudence: unless thou say those things which are in his heart.
3A hiki mai ka hewa, hiki mai no hoi ka hoowahawaha; A o ka hilahila pu kekahi me ka hoomaewaewa.
3The wicked man when he is come into the depth of sins, contemneth: but ignominy and reproach follow him.
4He wai hohonu na olelo o ko ke kanaka waha; He punawai e hu ana, ke kumu o ka naauao.
4Words from the mouth of a men are as deep water: and the fountain of wisdom as an overflowing stream.
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.
5It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to decline from the truth of judgment.
6O na lehelehe o ka mea lapuwale, aia no ma ka hoopaapaa; Ua maopopo kona waha e pono ke hahauia.
6The lips of a fool intermeddle with strife: and his mouth provoketh quarrels.
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.
7The mouth of a fool is his destruction: and his lips are the ruin of his soul.
8O na olelo ahiahi, ua like me na olelo paani, A komo no nae iloko loa o ka opu.
8The words of the double tongued are as if they were harmless: and they reach even to the inner parts of the bowels. Fear casteth down the slothful: and the souls of the effeminate shall be hungry.
9O ka mea hoomolowa ma kana hana ana, He kaikaina oia o ka mea hoomaunauna wale.
9He that is loose and slack in his work, is the brother of him that wasteth his own works.
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 just runneth to it, and shall be exalted.
11O ka waiwai o ka mea waiwai, oia kona kulanakauhale paa I ka pa, Ua like hoi me ka pa kiekie i kona manao.
11The substance of the rich man is the city of his strength, and as a strong wall compassing him about.
12Mamua o ka make, ua haaheo ka naau o ke kanaka, Mamua hoi o ka hookiekieia mai, he akahai.
12Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.
13O ka mea hoopuka i kona manao mamua o kona lohe ana, He lapuwale ia, a he mea ia nona e hilahila ai.
13He that answereth before he heareth sheweth himself to be a fool, and worthy of confusion.
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 upholdeth his infirmity: but a spirit that is easily angered, who can bear?
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.
15A wise heart shall acquire knowledge: and the ear of the wise seeketh instruction.
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 enlargeth his may, and maketh him room before princes.
17Ua pono ka mea i hoopiiia i kana olelo mua ana; Aka, hele mai kona hoanoho a imi ae i kona ano.
17The just is first accuser of himself: his friend cometh, and shall search him.
18O ka hailona ana ka mea e pau ai ka hoopaapaa; He mea hoi e uwao ai iwaena o ka ikaika.
18The lot suppresseth contentions, and determineth even between the mighty.
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.
19A brother that is helped by his brother, is like a strong city: and judgments are like the bars of cities.
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.
20Of the fruit of a man’s mouth shall his belly be satisfied: and the offspring of his lips shall fill him.
21Ma ke elelo ka make a me ke ola; O ka mea makemake malaila, e ai oia i kona hua.
21Death and life are in the power of the tongue: they that love it, shall eat the fruits thereof.
22O ka mea loaa ia ia ka wahine, loaa no ka mea maikai, Ua loaa hoi ia ia ka lokamaikai no Iehova mai.
22He that hath found a good wife, hath found a good thing, and shall receive a pleasure from the Lord. He that driveth away a good wife, driveth away a good thing: but he that keepeth an adulteress, is foolish and wicked.
23He noi ko ke kanaka ilihune; A o ka mea waiwai, ua olelo kalakala oia.
23The poor will speak with supplications, and the rich will speak roughly.
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 amiable in society, shall be more friendly than a brother.
