Solomona 27
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1MAI olioli wale oe no ka la apopo, No ka mea, aole oe i ike i ka mea a kekahi la e hoopuka mai ai.
1Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
2Na ka mea e e hoomaikai mai ia oe, aole na kou waha iho; Na ka malihini hoi, aole na kou mau lehelehe iho.
2Let another praise thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy own lips.
3Koikoi ka pohaku, kaumaha hoi ke one; Aka, o ka inaina o ka mea naaupo, ua kaumaha ia mamua o ia mau mea elua.
3A stone is heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them both.
4He aloha ole ka inaina, he mea make ka huhu, Owai la hoi e hiki ke ku imua o ka huahua?
4Anger hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
5Maikai ke ao maopopo ana, Mamua o ke aloha i hunaia.
5Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
6Maikai ka hoehaia mai e ka hoaaloha, He nunui hoi ka honi ana o ka enemi.
6Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
7Hehi no ka mea maona i ka waihona meli; Aka, i ka mea pololi la, ua ono na mea awaawa a pau.
7A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
8E like me ka manu i auwana ae mai kona punana aku, Pela ke kanaka e auwana ana mai kona wahi aku.
8As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth his place.
9O ka aila a me ka mea ala, hoohauoli ia i ka naau; Hooluolu hoi ka hoaaloha o kekahi mea ma ka olelo oiaio.
9Ointment and perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are sweet to the soul.
10O kou hoalauna a me ka hoalauna o kou makuakane, mai haalele oe; Aole hoi e komo aku i ka hale o kou hoahanau i kou manawa popilikia; Maikai ka mea e noho kokoke ana, mamua o ka hoahanau ma kahi loihi aku.
10Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar off.
11E kuu keiki e, e naauao hoi oe i olioli ko'u naau, I olelo aku au i ka mea hoino mai ia'u.
11Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
12O ka mea noonoo la, ike e oia mamua i ka poino a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka poe nanea a hihia iho la.
12The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
13E lawe i ka aahu o ka mea nana e hoopanai no ka malihini, E lawe hoi i uku nona no ka wahine e.
13Take away his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
14O ka mea hoomaikai aku i kona hoanoho me ka leo nui, I kona ala ana i ke kakahiaka nui, E lilo ia i mea poino nona.
14He that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
15O ke kulu mau ana i ka la ua, A me ka wahine nuku wale, na like.
15Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
16O ka mea hoonalowale i kana, hoonalowale no ia i ka makani, A me ka aila o kona lima akau e pa mai ana.
16He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of his right hand.
17Hookala kahi mea hao i kekahi mea hao, Hookala hoi ke kanaka i ka maka o kona hoalauna.
17Iron sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18O ka mea malama i ka laau fiku, oia ke ai i kona hua; O ka mea malama hoi i kona haku e hoonaniia oia.
18He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that is the keeper of his master, shall be glorified.
19Ma ka wai, he helehelena e ku ana i kahi helehelena, Pela hoi ka naau kanaka i kekahi kanaka.
19As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
20O ka lua a me ka hohonu, aole i piha, A o na maka o ke kanaka aole no e maona.
20Hell and destruction are never filled: so the eyes of men are never satisfied.
21He ipu hoohehee no ke kala, a he kapuahi no ke gula, Pela ke kanaka imua o kona mahaloia mai.
21As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
22Ina e kui oe i ka mea naaupo ma ka papawiliai, Oia pu me ka ai i ka pohaku kui, Aole loa e hemo ae kona naaupo ana mai ona aku.
22Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly would not be taken from him.
23E ike pono oe i ke ano o kau poe hipa, E nana hoi i ke ano o kau poe holoholona;
23Be diligent to know the countenance of thy cattle, and consider thy own flocks:
24No ka mea, aole e mau ana ka waiwai: O ka papale alii hoi, oia mau anei ia i na hanauna a pau?
24For thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and generation.
25Kupu mai ka weuweu, ikea mai ka mauu, A e ohiia ana ka mea ulu o ka mauna.
25The meadows are open, and the green herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
26O na keikihipa no kou kapa komo, O ka poe kao kane ke kumukuai no ka aina.
26Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
27A e nui ka waiu kao no kau ai ana, No ka ai ana hoi o ko ka hale ou, A he ola no kou poe kauwawahine.
27Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy handmaids.
