Solomona 30
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1HE mau wahi olelo a Agura ke keiki a Iake. He wanana; na ke kanaka i hoike mai ia Itiela; ia Itiela laua me Ukala.
1The words of Gatherer the son of Vomiter. The vision which the man spoke with whom God is, and who being strengthened by God, abiding with him, said:
2Owau ka mea hupo loa o na kanaka, Aole o'u wahi noonoo kanaka.
2I am the most foolish of men, and the wisdom of men is not with me.
3Aole i loaa ia u ka naauao, Aole hoi o'u ike i ka Mea hemolele.
3I have not learned wisdom, and have not known the science of saints.
4Owai ka mea i pii ae i ka lani, a i iho mai hoi? Owai ka mea i hooiliili i ka makani ma kona lima? Owai ka mea i hoopaa i na wai ma kona aahu? Owai ka mea i hoonoho i na welelau a pau o ka honua? Owai hoi kona inoa, owai ka inoa o kana keiki? E hoike mai paha oe.
4Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? who hath held the wind in his hands? who hath bound up the waters together as in a garment? who hath raised up all the borders of the earth? what is his name, and what is the name of his son, if thou knowest?
5Pau loa na huaolelo a ke Akua i ka maemae; Oia ka palekaua i ka poe paulele aku ia ia.
5Every word of God is fire tried: he is a buckler to them that hope in him.
6Mai hui ae oe i kekahi mea me kana mau huaolelo, O ao mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i mea wahahee.
6Add not any thing to his words, lest thou be reproved, and found a liar:
7Elua mau mea a'u i noi aku ai ia oe, Mai aua oe mamua o ko'u make ana.
7Two things I have asked of thee, deny them not to me before I die.
8O ka lapuwale, a o ka wahahee, E hookaawale ae mai o'u aku nei; Mai haawi mai ia'u i ka ilihune, aole hoi i ka waiwai; E hanai mai ia'u i ka ai ku pono no'u;
8Remove far from me vanity, and lying words. Give me neither beggary, nor riches: give me only the necessaries of life:
9O hookuku ai au, a hoole aku hoi, Me ka i ana, Owai la o Iehova? O ilihune hoi au a aihue iho, A hoohiki ino i ka inoa o ko'u Akua.
9Lest perhaps being filled, I should be tempted to deny, and say: Who is the Lord? or being compelled by poverty, I should steal, and forswear the name of my God.
10Mai hoopii oe i ke kauwa imua o kona haku, O hooino mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i lawehala.
10Accuse not a servant to his master, lest he curse thee, and thou fall.
11O kekahi hanauna, hoino no i ka makuakane, Aole hoi i hoomaikai i ka makuwahine.
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12O kekahi hanauna hoi, he maemae ia i ko lakou maka iho, Aole hoi i holoiia ka paumaele.
12A generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
13O kekahi hanauna, hookano loa na maka o lakou! Hookiekie hoi na lihilihi o lakou.
13A generation, whose eyes are lofty, and their eyelids lifted up on high.
14O kekahi hanauna, he mau pahikaua ko lakou niho, He mau pahi hoi ko lakou mau kui. E ai ana i ka poe ilihune mai ka honua aku, A o ka poe nele hoi iwaena o na kanaka.
14A generation, that for teeth hath swords, and grindeth with their jaw teeth, to devour the needy from off the earth, and the poor from among men.
15He mau kaikamahine elua ka ka omokoko, E i ana, E ho mai, e ho mai, ea. Akolu no mea piha ole, Eha hoi, aole e olelo mai, Ua ana:
15The horseleech hath two daughters that say: Bring, bring. There are three things that never are satisfied, and the fourth never saith: It is enough.
16O ka lua, o ka opu pa; A o ka honua i mauu ole i ka wai; A o ke ahi, aole ana olelo mai, Ua nui.
16Hell, and the mouth of the womb, and the earth which is not satisfied with water: and the fire never saith: It is enough.
17O ka maka i hoowahawaha i kona makuakane, A hoole hoi aole e malama i kona makuwahine, E kiko iho ka poe koraka o ke awawa ia mea, A e ai iho no ka poe aito opiopio.
17The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.
18Ekolu mau mea kupanaha loa ia'u, Eha hoi, aole au i ike iho.
18Three things are hard to me, and the fourth I am utterly ignorant of.
19O ka aoao o ka aito ma ka lewa; O ka aoao o ka nahesa maluna o ka pohaku; O ka aoao o ka moku iwaena o ka moana; A o ka aoao o ke kanaka me ka wahine puupaa.
19The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man in youth.
20Peneia ka aoao o ka wahine hookamakama, Ai iho la oia a holoi i kona nuku, A olelo ae, Aole au i hana hewa.
20Such is also the way of an adulterous woman, who eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: I have done no evil.
21Ekolu mau mea e haunaele ai ka honua, Eha hoi e hiki ole ai ke hoomanawanui:
21By three things the earth is disturbed, and the fourth it cannot bear:
22O ke kauwa ke lilo i alii; O ka mea lapuwale ke maona i ka ai;
22By a slave when he reigneth: by a fool when he is filled with meat:
23O ka wahine huhu wale ke mareia oia; A o ke kauwawahine he hooilina o kona hakuwahine.
23By an odious woman when she is married: and by a bondwoman when she is heir to her mistress.
24Eha mau mea liilii loa ma ka honua nei, A ua akamai loa no nae:
24There are four very little things of the earth, and they are wiser than the wise:
25O ka poe anonanona, he poe ikaika ole lakou, Hoomakaukau no nae i ke kau i ka lakou ai;
25The ants, a feeble people, which provide themselves food in the harvest:
26O ka poe rabita, he poe nawaliwali lakou, Ma na pohaku hoi i hana'i i ko lakou mau hale;
26The rabbit, a weak people, which maketh its bed in the rock:
27O ka poe uhini, aole o lakou alii, Hele papa no hoi lakou.
27The locust hath no king, yet they all go out by their bands.
28O ka moo, lalau no oia me kona mau lima, Aia no ia ma na hale hanohano o ke alii.
28The stellio supporteth itself on hands, and dwelleth in kings’ houses.
29Ekolu mau mea, i maikai ka hele ana, Eha hoi i maikai ke hele ae.
29There are three things, which go well, and the fourth that walketh happily:
30O ka liona ka mea ikaika loa o na holoholona, Aole hoi oia e huli ae mai ke alo aku o lakou a pau;
30A lion, the strongest of beasts, who hath no fear of any thing he meeteth:
31O ka ilio hahai, a o ke kao kane hoi, A o ke alii, hiki ole ke ku e ia ia.
31A cock girded about the loins: and a ram: and a king, whom none can resist.
32Ina he lapuwale oe i kou hookiekie ana, Ina paha he manao ino kou, e kau ana ka lima ma ka waha.
32There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth.
33Ma ka hooluliluli ana i ka waiu e puka mai ai ka bata, Ma ka uwi ana i ka ihu e kahe mai ai ke koko; A ma ka hooioi ana i ka huhu e puka mai ai hoi ka hakaka.
33And he that strongly squeezeth the papa to bring out milk, straineth out butter: and he that violently bloweth his nose, bringeth out blood: and he that provoketh wrath bringeth forth strife.
