Solomona 19
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
2O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
3O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth 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 addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
5O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
6Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
6Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
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 brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him.
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 that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall 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 not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have 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.
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
14House and riches are the inheritance of 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.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall 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 that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall 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.
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
18E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
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 wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
20E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better 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 tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
24Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as 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.
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
26O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
27Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err 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.
28An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
