Solomona 19
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
1Better a poor man who walks with integrity than a fool whose lips are perverse.
2O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
2Even zeal is no good without knowledge, and he who hurries his footsteps misses the mark.
3O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
3A man’s own folly subverts his way, yet his heart rages against the LORD.
4O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
4Wealth attracts many friends, but a poor man is deserted by his friend.
5O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
5A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not escape.
6Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
6Many seek the favor of the prince, and everyone is a friend of the gift giver.
7Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
7All the brothers of a poor man hate him— how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.
8O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
8He who acquires wisdom loves himself; one who safeguards understanding will find success.
9O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
9A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who pours out lies will perish.
10Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
10Luxury is unseemly for a fool— how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!
11O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
11A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.
12He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
12A king’s rage is like the roar of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
13He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
13A foolish son is his father’s ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.
14O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
14Houses and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
15Laziness brings on deep sleep, and an idle soul will suffer hunger.
16O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
16He who keeps a commandment preserves his soul, but he who is careless in his ways will die.
17O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
17Kindness to the poor is a loan to the LORD, and He will repay the lender.
18E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
18Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be party to his death.
19O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
19A man of great anger must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to do so again.
20E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
20Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.
21Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
21Many plans are in a man’s heart, but the purpose of the LORD will prevail.
22O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
22The desire of a man is loving devotion; better to be poor than a liar.
23O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, that one may rest content, without visitation from harm.
24Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
24The slacker buries his hand in the dish; he will not even bring it back to his mouth.
25E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
25Strike a mocker, and the simple will beware; rebuke the discerning man, and he will gain knowledge.
26O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
26He who assaults his father or evicts his mother is a son who brings shame and disgrace.
27Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
27If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
28I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.
29Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
29Judgments are prepared for mockers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
