Solomona 21
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Berean Standard Bible
1HE mau auwai ka naau o ke alii, iloko o ka lima o Iehova, Nana e hookahe ae e like me kona makemake.
1The king’s heart is a waterway in the hand of the LORD; He directs it where He pleases.
2O na aoao a pau o ke kanaka, ua pololei ia i kona maka iho, Hoao ae la o Iehova i na naau.
2All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.
3O ka hana ana i ka pono a me ka pololei, Ua makemakeia e Iehova mamua o ka mohai.
3To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4O ka maka haaheo, o ka naau hookiekie, O ka pomaikai ana hoi o ka poe hewa he pono ole no ia.
4Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the guides of the wicked—are sin.
5O ka manao o ka mea hana mau, pili no ia i ka lako; O ko ka mea wikiwiki wale, pili no ia i ka nele.
5The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty.
6O ka imi ana i ka waiwai ma ke elelo wahahee, He opala i hoopuehuia e ka poe e imi ana i ka make.
6Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.
7O ke kaili wale o ka poe hewa, e kaili aku ia ia lakou; No ka mea, hoole lakou, aole e hana ma ka hoopono.
7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away because they refuse to do what is just.
8He kekee ka aoao o ke kanaka, a he ano e hoi; O ka mea maemae hoi, ua pololei kana hana.
8The way of a guilty man is crooked, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
9E aho ka noho ma ke kihi maluna o ka hale, Aole hoi me ka wahine hakaka ma ka hale kanaka.
9Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
10O ka uhane o ka mea hewa, makemake no ia i ka hewa; Aole ona lokomaikai mai i kona hoanoho.
10The soul of the wicked man craves evil; his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.
11Ma ka hoopaiia mai o ka mea hoowahawaha, e hoonaauaoia'i ka mea ike ole; I ke ao ana aku i ka mea akamai, e loaa no ia ia ka ike.
11When a mocker is punished, the simple gain wisdom; and when a wise man is instructed, he acquires knowledge.
12Noonoo nui ka mea pono i ka hale o ka mea hewa; Ua hookahuliia ka poe hewa no ka hana hewa ana.
12The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked and brings the wicked to ruin.
13O ka mea i papani i kona pepeiao i ka uwe ana o ka mea nele, E hea aku no oia, aohe mea e hoolohe mai.
13Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too shall cry out and receive no answer.
14O ka makana malu, pale ae no ia i ka huhu; Pela hoi ka makana poli i ka inaina ikaika.
14A gift in secret soothes anger, and a covert bribe pacifies great wrath.
15He olioli i ka mea pono ke hana ma ka pololei; He make no ko ka poe hana hewa.
15Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.
16O ke kanaka hele hewa mai ka aoao ae o ka naauao, E noho no oia ma ke anaina o ka poe malu make.
16The man who strays from the path of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead.
17O ka mea makemake i ka lealea, e ilihune auanei ia, O ka mea makemake i ka waina a me ka aila, aole ia e waiwai.
17He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.
18Pani ka mea hewa i ka hakahaka no ka mea pono; Pela ka mea lawe hala no ka mea pololei.
18The wicked become a ransom for the righteous, and the faithless for the upright.
19E aho ka noho noho ana ma ka waoakua. Aole me ka wahine huhu a me ka hakaka.
19Better to live in the desert than with a contentious and ill-tempered wife.
20Aia ka waiwai i makemakeia a me ka aila ma ka hale o ka mea naauao; A o ke kanaka lapuwale, moni iho la oia ia mea.
20Precious treasures and oil are in the dwelling of the wise, but a foolish man consumes them.
21O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, a me ka lokomaikai, E loaa ia ia ke ola a me ka pono a me ka nani.
21He who pursues righteousness and loving devotion finds life, righteousness, and honor.
22Pii ae ka mea naauao maluna o ke kulanakauhale o ka poe ikaika, Hoohiolo oia i ka ikaika a lakou i paulele ai.
22A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.
23O ka mea malama i kona waha a me kona alelo, Oia ka i hoopakele i kona uhane i ka popilikia.
23He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.
24O ka haaheo, o ka hookano, o ka hoowahawaha, Oia ka inoa o ka mea hana ma ka huhu ikaika.
24Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man— of him who acts with excessive pride.
25O ka makemake o ka mea palaualelo oia kona mea e make ai; No ka mea, hoole kona mau lima i ka hana.
25The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work.
26Kuko wale aku no ia a po ka la; Haawi aku hoi ka mea pono me ka aua ole.
26All day long he covets more, but the righteous give without restraint.
27O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia; Ua oi aku hoi ka hewa, ke lawe oia ia mea me ka manao ino.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with ill intent!
28O ka mea hoike wahahee, e make no ia; O ke kanaka hoolohe, oia ke olelo mau.
28A lying witness will perish, but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.
29Hoopaakiki ke kanaka hewa i kona maka; O ka mea pololei hoi, hoopololei oia i kona aoao.
29A wicked man hardens his face, but the upright man makes his way sure.
30Aohe akamai, aohe noonoo; Aole hoi oleloao e hiki ai ke ku e aku ia Iehova.
30There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel that can prevail against the LORD.
31Ua hoomakaukauia ka lio no ka la e kaua ai; Aka, ia Iehova no ka hoopakele ana.
31A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory is of the LORD.
