Solomona 3
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1E KUU keiki, mai haalele oe i ko'u kanawai, E waiho hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ma kou naau.
1My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
2No ka mea, oia ka mea e nui ai na la a me na makahiki o kou ola ana, A o ka malu hoi e haawiia ia oe.
2For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
3I ole e haalele ia oe ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha; E hawele ia mau mea ma kou a-i; E kakau hoi ma ka papa o ka naau.
3Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
4Pela e loaa'i ka lokomaikai a me ka ike oiaio, Imua o Iehova a me na kanaka.
4So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5E paulele ia Iehova me kou naau a pau; Mai hilinai hoi ma kou naauao iho.
5¶ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6Ma kou aoao a pau ia ia no oe e nana aku ai, A nana no e hoopololei i kou hele ana.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7Mai hooakamai oe ma kou manao iho; E makau ia Iehova a e haalele i ka hewa.
7¶ Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD , and depart from evil.
8Oia ke ola no kou mau olona, A me ka lolo no kou mau iwi.
8It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9E hoonani ia Iehova ma kou waiwai, A me na hua mua o na mea a pau i loaa'i ia oe:
9Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10Alaila, e hoopihaia kou waihona waiwai a hu, E hu ae kau mau mea kaomi waina i ka waina hou.
10So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
11E kuu keiki, mai hoole oe i ke aoia mai e Iehova; Mai pauaho oe i kona hooponopono ana mai.
11¶ My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD ; neither be weary of his correction:
12No ka mea, o ka mea a Iehova i aloha'i oia kana i paipai mai. Me he makua la i ke keiki ana i makemake ai.
12For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
13Pomaikai ke kanaka ke loaa ia ia ka naauao, A o ke kanaka hoi i makaukau i ka ike.
13¶ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
14No ka mea, ua oi aku ka waiwai o ia mea mamua o ke kala, A o ke kuai ana hoi mamua o ke gula.
14For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
15Ua maikai oia mamua o na momi; A o na mea a pau au e makemake ai, aole e liko me ia ka maikai.
15She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
16Aia ma kona lima akau ka loihi o na la; A ma kona lima hema ka waiwai a me ka hanohano.
16Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
17O kona mau aoao he mau aoao oluolu no, Ua pau hoi kona mau alanui i ka maluhia,
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
18Oia ka laau o ke ola no ka poe e hoopaa ana ia ia, Poinaikai hoi ka mea e apo ana ia ia.
18She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
19Ma ke akamuai i hookumu iho ai o Iehova i ka honua; A ma ka ike i kau aku ai i ka lani.
19The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
20Ma kona ike hoi i wawahiia'i na wahi hohonu, A ninini mai no na ao i ka ua.
20By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
21E kuu keiki e, mai huli e aku kou mau maka; E hoopaa i ka naauao a me ka ike.
21¶ My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22He ola no ia no kou uhane, He hanohano no ia i kou a-i.
22So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
23Alaila, e hele makau ole oe ma kou ala, A o kou wawae hoi, aole ia e palaha.
23Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
24I kou moe ana, aole oe e makau; E moe iho no oe, a e oluolu kou hiamoe ana.
24When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
25Mai weliweli oe i ka mea e makau ai ke hikilele mai, Aole hoi i ka luku ana o ka poe hewa ke hiki mai.
25Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
26No ka mea, o Iehova no kou mea e peulele ai, E malama no oia i kou wawae i ole no e heiia.
26For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
27Mai aua oe i ka maikai i ka mea e pono ai ia, Ke hiki i kou lima ke hana aku.
27¶ Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it .
28Mai olelo oe i kou hoanoho, O hele oe a hoi mai, apopo e haawi aku au, Ke waiho wale ia mea ia oe.
28Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29Mai imi hala oe i kou hoanoho, No ka mea, ke noho la oia ma ou la me ka maluhia.
29Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30Mai hoopaapaa hala ole oe me ke kanaka, Ina aole oia i hana hewa aku ia oe.
30¶ Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
31Mai hoolalike oe me ke kanaka huhu, Mai koho hoi oe i kekahi aoao ona.
31¶ Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
32No ka mea, he mea hoopailua ka aia ia Iehova, O ka poe pololei oia kona poe hoakuka.
32For the froward is abomination to the LORD : but his secret is with the righteous.
33O ka hoino o Iehova aia ma ka hale o ka mea hewa, Hoopomaikai oia i kahi noho ai o ka poe pono.
33¶ The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
34E hoowahawaha mai oia i ka poe hoowahawaha; E haawi mai oia i ka lokomaikai i ka poe i haahaa ka naau.
34Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
35E ili mai ka hanohano no ka poe naauao; O ka hookiekieia mai o ka poe hewa, he mea hilahila ia.
35The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
