Solomona 29
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1O KE kanaka i ao pinepine ia a hoopaakiki hoi i kona a-i, E make koke no ia, aole mea e ola'i.
1He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
2I ka lehulehu ana e ka poe pono, hauoli na kanaka; A i ke alii ana o ka mea hewa, ulono ae la na kanaka.
2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
3O ke kanaka e ake ana i ka naauao, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ka mea launa aku me na wahine hookamakama, hokai wale aku oia i kana waiwai.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
4Ma ka hoopono, e hooku paa ai ke alii i ka aina; O ka mea lawe i na makana, oia ke hoohiolo iho.
4The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
5O ke kanaka malimali aku i kona hoanoho, Oia ka i hohola i ka hei no kona mau wawae.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
6Puniheiia ke kanaka hewa ma kona hewa iho; Hauoli no ka mea pono me ka olioli.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
7Ike aku no ka mea pono i ka pilikia o ka poe ilihune; A o ka mea hewa, aole ona manao e ike aku.
7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
8O ka poe hoowahawaha, hoohihia lakou i ke kulanakauhale; O ka poe naauao, pale ae lakou i ka huhu.
8Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
9Ina e hoopaapaa ke kanaka naauao, me ke kanaka hewa, He huhu paha kona, he akaaka paha, aohe oluolu iki.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
10O ka poe punikoko, inaina aku lakou i ka mea pololei; Imi hoi ka poe hoopono i ke ola nona.
10The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
11Hoopuka mai ka mea naaupo i kona manao a pau; Noho malie hoi ka mea naauao a mahope aku.
11A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
12Ina e haliu ae ke alii i ka olelo wahahee, Pau loa kana poe kauwa i ka hana hewa.
12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
13O ka mea ilihune, a o ke kanaka hookaumaha e halawai pu laua; Na Iehova e hoomalamalama i na maka o laua a elua.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
14O ke alii e hooponopono ana i ka poe ilihune ma ka oiaio, E paa mau loa no kona nohoalii.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
15O ka laau hahau, a me ke aoia mai, haawi no i ka naauao; A o ko keiki waiho wale ia, oia ke hoohilahila i kona makuwahine.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
16I ka mahuahua ana o ka poe howa, mahuahua no ke kolohe; E ike hoi ka poe pono i ko lakau haule ana.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
17E haua i kau keiki, a nana oe e hoomaha mai; E lilo no ia i mea e olioli ai kou uhane.
17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
18I ole ke aoia mai, hele hewa na kanaka; A o ka mea malama i ke kanawai, pomaikai oia.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
19Ma ka olelo wale ana, aole e aoia mai ke kauwa; No ka mea ina paha i ike, aole ia e pane mai,
19A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
20Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka wikiwiki i ka olelo? Ua lana ka manao no ka mea naaupo aole nona.
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
21O ka mea hoohiwahiwa i kana kauwa mai kona wa uuku mai, Mahope iho, e lilo oia i keiki nana.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
22O ke kanaka huhu, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka, A o ka mea inaina wale, nui ae la kona hewa.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
23O ka haaheo o ke kanaka, oia ka mea uana ia e hoohaahaa iho; E pili hoi ka hanohano i ka mea haahaa ka naau.
23A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
24O ka mea lawe pu me ka aihue, inaina aku oia i kona uhane iho; Ua lohe oia i ka hailiili, aole hoi i hoike aku.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
25O ka makau i ke kanaka, he mea ia e hihia ai; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova ua palekana oia.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
26Nui ka poe imi i ka lokomaikaiia mai e ke alii, Aka, no Iehova mai ka hoopono ana i ke kanaka.
26Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
27He mea hoopailua i ka poe pono ke kanaka hoopono ole; He mea hoopailua hoi i ka mea hewa, ka mea pololei ma kona aoao.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
