Solomona 23
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1I KOU noho iho ana e ai pu me ke alii, E noonoo pono i na mea imua ou:
1When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2A e kau i ka pahi ma kahi i moni ai, Ke pololi oe.
2And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3Aka, mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono; He wahi ni hoopunipuni no ia.
3Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4Mai hooikaika i waiwai ai; E hoole i kou naauao iho.
4Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5E kau anei oe i kou mau maka ma ka mea e ole ana? No ka mea, e hana io no ia mea i mau eheu nona iho; Me he aeto la e lele aku ai i ka lewa.
5Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6Mai ai oe i ka ai a ka mea maka ino; Mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono;
6Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7No ka mea, e like me ia i noonoo ai ma kona naau, pela no ia; E ai oe, ea, a e inu oe, wahi ana ia oe, Aka, aole me oe kona naau.
7For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8O ka mamala ai au i moni iho ai e luai hou aku oe; A e lilo wale kau mau olelo oluolu.
8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
9Mai hai aku oe i na pepeiao o ka mea lapuwale; No ka mea, e hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei o kau olelo.
9Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
10Mai hooneenee ae oe i na mokuna aina kahiko; Ma na kihapai o ka poe makua ole, mai komo oe.
10Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:
11No ka mea, o ka lakou Hoola he mana no kona; Nana no e hooponopono iwaena o lakou a me oe.
11For their redeemer is mighty; he shall plead their cause with thee.
12E haliu ae i kou naau i ke aoia mai, A me kou mau pepeiao hoi i na olelo e naauao ai.
12Apply thine heart unto instruction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge.
13Mai waiho oe i ka hooponopono ana i ke keiki; No ka mea, ina e haua oe ia ia me ka laau, aole ia e make.
13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14E haua oe ia ia me ka laau, A e hoopakele i kona uhane i ka lua.
14Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
15E kuu keiki e, ina e naauao kou naau, E hauoli io no ka naau o'u:
15My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
16E olioli io ko'u mau puhaka, Ke hai aku kou mau lehelehe i na mea pololei.
16Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.
17Mai huahua kou naau i ka poe hewa; Aka, e noho mau oe me ka makau ia Iehova a po ka la.
17Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long.
18No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ka hope; A e pio ole ana no kou manaolana.
18For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.
19E hoolohe mai oe, e ka'u keiki, e hoonaauao iho, E hoopololei i kou naau ma ke ala.
19Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20Mai noho pu oe me ka poe inu waina; Me ka poe hoopalupalu i ko lakou kino iho.
20Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh:
21No ka mea, o ka mea ona a me ka mea pakela ai, e ilihune auanei oia; A no ka palaualelo e komo kekahi i na weluwelu.
21For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22E hoolohe i kou makuakane ka mea nana mai oe; Mai hoowahawaha oe i ka luwahine ana o kou makuwahine.
22Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
23E kuai lilo mai i ka oiaio, mai kuai lilo aku; I ka naauao hoi a me ke aoia mai a me ka ike.
23Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.
24E hauoli nui ka makuakane o ka mea pono; O ka mea i hanau mai uana ke keiki naauao, he olioli no kona.
24The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.
25E hauoli no kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, E olioli hoi ka mea nana oe i hanau mai.
25Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.
26E kuu keiki, e haawi mai ia'u i kou naau, E nana mai hoi kou mau maka i ko'u aoao.
26My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.
27No ka mea, he auwaha hohonu ka wahine hookamakama, He lua ino hoi ka wahine e.
27For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.
28Oia ka i hoohalua, me he powa la, Hoonui oia i ka lawehala ana iwaena o na kanaka.
28She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and increaseth the transgressors among men.
29Ia wai la ka uwe ana? Ia wai la ka poino? Ia wai la ka hakaka? Ia wai la ka nuku wale ana? Ia wai la na palapu loaa wale? Ia wai la na maka ulaula?
29Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30I ka poe e hoomau ana ma ka waina, I ka poe e hele ana e imi i ka waina i kawiliia.
30They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31Mai nana oe i ka waina i kona ulaula ana, I kona aleale ana ma ke kiaha, I kona hu ana a maikai.
31Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32Mahope iho, e nahu mai me he nahesa la, A e pa mai me he moonihoawa la.
32At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33E nana auanei kou maka i na wahine e, A e hai aku kou naau i na mea ino.
33Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34E lilo ana oe me he mea la i moe iho mawaena konu o ka moana, E like hoi me ka mea i hoomoe ia ia iho ma kahi oioi loa o ke kia moku.
34Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35Pepehi mai lakou ia'u, aole au i eha, Hahaua mai lakou ia'u, aole au i ike iho: Ahea la au e ala'i? E imi hou aku no au ia mea.
35They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
