Solomona 7
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1E KUU keiki e, e malama oe i ka'u mau olelo, E waiho pu hoi i ka'u kauoha me oe.
1My son, keep my words, and lay up my precepts with thee. Son,
2E malama oe i ka'u kauoha i ola oe, A me ko'u kanawai hoi, e like me ke kii onohi o kou mau maka.
2Keep my commandments, and thou shalt live: and my law as the apple of thy eye:
3E hawele oe ia mau mea ma kou mau manamanalima, E kakau hoi ia mau mea ma ka papa o kou naau.
3Bind it upon thy fingers, write it upon the tables of thy heart.
4E i ae oe i ka naauao, O oe no ko'u kaikuwahine; E kapa aku oe i ka ike, he hoalauna:
4Say to wisdom: Thou art my sister: and call prudence thy friend,
5I malamaia oe i ka wahine e, I ka malihini hoi i hoomalimali mai me kana olelo.
5That she may keep thee from the woman that is not thine, and from the stranger who sweeteneth her words.
6No ka mea, ma ka puka o ko'u hale, Ma ko'u puka makani, nana aku la au;
6For I look out of the window of my house through the lattice,
7Ike iho la au iwaena o ka poe noonoo ole, Ike iho la hoi au mawaena o ka poe opiopio, I kekahi kanaka ui manao ole.
7And I see little ones, I behold a foolish young man,
8Hele ae la ia ma ke ala e kokoke ana i kona huina, Hele ae la oia ma ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai i kona hale;
8Who passeth through the street by the corner, and goeth nigh the way of her house.
9I ke ahiahi, i ka napoo ana o ka la, I ke aumoe, i ka poeleele;
9In the dark, when it grows late, in the darkness and obscurity of the night,
10Aia hoi, halawai pu me ia kekahi wahine, Ua kahiko hookamakama ia; Ua maalea kona naau.
10And behold a woman meeteth him in harlot’s attire prepared to deceive souls; talkative and wandering,
11He walaau kona a me ka hoolohe ole, Aole noho kona mau wawae ma kona hale iho.
11Not bearing to be quiet, not able to abide still at home,
12I kekahi wa mawaho oia, I kekahi wa ae ma ke alanui, A hoohalua oia ma na huina a pau.)
12Now abroad, now in the streets, now lying in wait near the corners.
13Apo iho la kela ia ia a honi iho la, a Me ka maka hilahila ole, i aku la ia ia,
13And catching the young man, she kisseth him, and with an impudent face, flattereth, saying:
14He mau mohai aloha ko'u; I keia la no, mohai aku la au i ka'u mea i hoohiki ai
14I vowed victims for prosperity, this day I have paid my vows.
15Nolaila, i hele mai nei au e halawai me oe, E imi hoi ia oe, a ua loaa iho nei.
15Therefore I am come out to meet thee, desirous to see thee, and I have found thee.
16Hohola iho la au i ko'u wahi moe me ke kapa, Me ke kapa onionio hoi mai Aigapita mai
16I have woven my bed with cords, I have covered it with painted tapestry, brought from Egypt.
17Kopipi iho la au i ko'u wahi moe I ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kinamona.
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
18Ina kaua i maona i ke aloha a hiki i kakahiaka, E lealea kaua i ke aloha.
18Come, let us be inebriated with the breasts, and let us enjoy the desired embraces, till the day appear.
19No ka mea, o ke kane, aole ia ma kona hale, Ua hele oia ma kahi loihi e aku.
19For my husband is not at home, he is gone a very long journey.
20Lawe oia i ka eke kala ma kona lima, A piha ka mahina, alaila, e hoi mai oia i kona hale.
20He took with him a bag of money: he mill return home the day of the full moon.
21Ua paa kela i ka nui o kana olelo maalea; Ua lilo hoi oia i ka malimali ana o kona mau leheiehe.
21She entangled him with many words, and drew him away with the flattery of her lips.
22Ukali koke oia mahope ona, E like me ka hele ana o ka bipi i kona wahi e maka ai; E like hoi me ka naaopo i hoopaiia mai ma ka laau kupee;
22Immediately he followeth her as an ox led to be a victim, and as a lamb playing the wanton, and not knowing that he is drawn like a fool to bonds,
23A o aku la ka pua i kona ake, E like me ka lele ana o ka manu i ke pahele, Aole ona ike no kona oia ia.
23Till the arrow pierce his liver: as if a bird should make haste to the snare, and knoweth not that his life is in danger.
24Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u. E maliu mai oukou i ka olelo a ko'u waha.
24Now therefore, my son, hear me, and attend to the words of my mouth.
25Mai huli ae kou naau ma kona aoao; Mai hele hewa oe ma kona alanui.
25Let not thy mind be drawn away in her ways: neither be thou deceived with her paths.
26No ka mea, manomano ka poe i hina ia ia me ka eha, Na mea ikaika hoi, ua pau ia ia i ka make.
26For she hath cast down many wounded, and the strongest have been slain by her.
27Ma kona hale ke ala e hiki ai i ka po, E iho ana ilalo i ka make.
27Her house is the way to hell, reaching even to the inner chambers of death.
