Solomona 24
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1MAI kuko oe i ka aoao o na kanaka hewa, Aole makemake hoi e noho pu me lakou.
1Seek not to be like evil men, neither desire to be with them:
2No ka mea, noonoo ae la ko lakou naau i ka mea e make ai, A no ka ino hoi ko lakou lehelehe e kamailio ai.
2Because their mind studieth robberies, and their lips speak deceits.
3Ma ke akamai i kukuluia'i ka hale, Ma ka naauao hoi ia i hookupaaia'i.
3By wisdom the house shall be built, and by prudence it shall be strengthened.
4Na ka ike e hoopihaia'i na keena, I na waiwai a pau, he maikai no a he nani hoi.
4By instruction the storerooms shall be filled with all precious and most beautiful wealth.
5O ke kanaka naauao, he ikaika no ia; E mahuahua ana no ka ikaika o ke kanaka ike.
5A wise man is strong: and a knowing man, stout and valiant.
6No ka mea, ma ka noonoo nui oe e kaua aku ai, A he ola no ma ka nui o ka poe kukakuka pu.
6Because war is managed by due ordering: and there shall be safety where there are many counsels.
7He kiekie loa ka naauao maluna o ka mea naaupo; Aole e oaka kona waha ma ka ipuka.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool, in the gate he shall not open his mouth.
8O ka mea noonoo e hana hewa aku, E kapaia'ku ia he mea hana kolohe.
8He that deviseth to do evils, shall be called a fool.
9O ka manao lapuwale, he hewa ia; A he hoopailua i na kanaka ka mea hoowahawaha.
9The thought of a fool is sin: and the detracter is the abomination of men.
10Ina pauaho oe i kou la popilikia, Uuku wale no kou ikaika.
10If thou lose hope being weary in the day of distress, thy strength shall be diminished.
11Ina e hookaulua oe e hoopakele i ka poe i hana paa ia e make, A me ka poe e kokoke ana i ka pepehiia mai;
11Deliver them that are led to death: and those that are drawn to death forbear not to deliver.
12Ina e i ae oe, E, aole makou i ike; Aole anei e noonoo mai ka mea nana e kaupaona na naau? A o ka mea hoi nana e malama i ka uhane, aole anei oia e ike? Aole anei oia e hoopai i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana?
12If thou say: I have not strength enough: he that seeth into the heart, he understandeth, and nothing deceiveth the keeper of thy soul, and he shall render to a man according to his works.
13E kuu keiki, e ai iho oe i ka meli, no ka mea, he maikai ia; A i ka waihona meli hoi he ono ia i kou waha;
13Fat honey, my son, because it is good, and the honeycomb most sweet to thy throat:
14Pela hoi ka ike ana i ka naauao i kou uhane; A i loaa ia oe, alaila he hope, A o kou manaolana aole ia e poho.
14So also is the doctrine of wisdom to thy soul: which when thou hast found, thou shalt have hope in the end, and thy hope shall not perish.
15Mai hoohalua, e ke kanaka hewa, ma ka hale o ka mea pono; Mai powa aku oe ma kona wahi e moe ai.
15Lie not in wait, nor seek after wickedness in the house of the just, nor spoil his rest.
16No ka mea, ehiku no ka haule ana o ka mea pono, a ala hou mai no; O ka poe hewa, e hina no lakou iloko o ka poino.
16For a just mall shall fall seven times and shall rise again: but the wicked shall fall down into evil.
17I ka haule ana o kou euemi, mai hauoli oe, I koua hina ana hoi mai olioli kou naau;
17When thy enemy shall fall, be not glad, and in his ruin let not thy heart rejoice:
18O ike mai Iehova he hewa ia i kona mau maka, A e hoohuli oia i kona huhu mai ona aku.
18Lest the Lord see, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
19Mai ukiuki oe no ka poe hewa, Aole hoi e kuko i ka noho ana o ka poe hana ino.
19Contend not with the wicked, nor seek to be like the ungodly:
20No ka mea, aohe uku maikai no ka mea hewa; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio ana no ia.
20For evil men have no hope of things to come, and the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
21E kuu keiki, e makau aku ia Iehova, a me ke alii; Me ka poe lolelua ka naau, mai launa aku.
21My son, fear the Lord and the king: and have nothing to do with detracters.
22No ka mea, e hiki wawe mai ko lakou poino; A o ka make ana o laua a elua, owai ka mea ike aku?
22For their destruction shall rise suddenly: and who knoweth the ruin of both?
23Na ka poe naauao hoi keia mau mea: O ka manao kapakahi ma ka hookolokolo ana, aole i pono ia.
23These things also to the wise: It is not good to have respect to persons in judgment.
24O ka mea olelo aku i ka mea hewa, He pono no oe; E hoino aku no na kanaka ia ia, E hoowahawaha hoi na lahuikanaka ia ia.
24They that say to the wicked man: Thou art just: shall be cursed by the people, and the tribes shall abhor them.
25Aka, he oluolu ko ka poe i ao aku, E hiki mai hoi ia lakou ka pomaikai io.
25They that rebuke him, shall be praised: and a blessing shall come upon them.
26E honiia'ku na lehelehe O ka mea olelo aku ma ka pololei.
26He shall kiss the lips, who answereth right words.
27Muwaho e hoomakaukau ai i kau hana, A e hooponopono nou iho ma ke kula; A mahope iho, e kukula ae i kou hale.
27Prepare thy work without, and diligently till thy ground: that afterward thou mayst build thy house.
28Mai liio hala ole oe i hoike ku e i kou hoanoho; Aole hoi e hoopunipuni me kou mau lehelehe.
28Be not witness without cause against thy neighbour: and deceive not any man with thy lips.
29Mai olelo oe, E like me ia i hana mai ai ia'u, pela au e hana aku ai ia ia; E hoopai aku au i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana.
29Say not: I will do to him as he hath done to me: I will render to every one according to his work.
30Ma ke kihapai o ka mea palaualelo i maalo ai au, Ma ka pawaina hoi o ke Kanaka noonoo ole:
30I passed by the field of the slothful man, and by the vineyard of the foolish man:
31Aia hoi, ulu paapu ae la ka puakala, Uhi mai la maluna ona na kakalaioa, O kona pa pohaku hoi, ua hiolo iho la ia.
31And behold it was all filled with nettles, and thorns had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall was broken down.
32Nana aku la au, halalo iho la ko'u naau; Ike iho la au, a loaa ia'u ke aoia mai.
32Which when I had seen, I laid it up in my heart, and by the example I received instruction.
33He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i na lima a hiamoe;
33Thou wilt sleep a little, said I, thou wilt slumber a little, thou wilt fold thy hands a little to rest:
34A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
34And poverty shall come to thee as a runner, and beggary as an armed man.
