Solomona 8
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A OLE anei i hea mai ka naauao? Aole anei i pane mai ka ike i kona leo?
1Doth not wisdom cry aloud, and prudence put forth her voice?
2Maluna o na wahi kiekie, ma ke ala, Ma kahi o na alanui, ku ae la oia.
2Standing in the top of the highest places by the way, in the midst of the paths.
3Ma na ipuka, ma ke alo o ke kulanakauhale, Ma na wahi e komo ai, kahea mai la oia.
3Beside the gates of the city, in the very doors she speaketh, saying:
4Ke hea aku nei au ia oukou, e na kanaka; O ko'u leo hoi i na keiki a kanaka.
4O ye men, to you I call, and my voice is to the sons of men.
5E na mea ike ole, e ike oukou i ke akamai; E hoonaauao hoi oukou, e ka poe naaupo.
5O little ones, understand subtilty, and ye unwise, take notice.
6E hoolohe mai, no ka mea, e hai ana au i na mea maikai; O ka oaka ana hoi o ko'u mau lehelehe ma na mea pono ia.
6Hear, for I will speak of great things: and my lips shall be opened to preach right things.
7No ka mea, e hoike mai kuu waha i ka oiaio; He mea hoopailua ka hewa i ko'u mau lehelehe.
7My mouth shall meditate truth, and my lips shall hate wickedness.
8Ma ka pono na olelo a pau a ko'u waha; Aole wahahee, aohe mea kekee malaila.
8All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
9Pau loa no ia i ka pololei i ka mea naauao, Ua kupono hoi i ka poe i loaa ka ike.
9They are right to them that understand, and just to them that find knowledge.
10E koho oukou i ke aoia mai, aole ke kala, A me ka ike hoi mamua o ke gula maikai.
10Receive my instruction, and not money: choose knowledge rather than gold.
11No ka mea, ua maikai ka naauao mamua o na momi; A o na mea i makemakeia a pau, aole i like me ia.
11For wisdom is better than all the most precious things: and whatsoever may be desired cannot be compared to it.
12Owau hoi, o ka naauao, ke pili nei i ke akamai, Ua loaa ia'u ka ike i na mea e naauao ai.
12I wisdom dwell in counsel, and am present in learned thoughts.
13O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke inaina aku i ka hewa; O ka haaheo, o ka hookiekie, o ka aoao ino, O ka waha aaka, oia ka'u i hoowahawaha aku ai.
13The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
14Ia'u ka ike a me ke akamai; Owau no ka noonoo, ia'u hoi ka ikaika.
14Counsel and equity is mine, prudence is mine, strength is mine.
15Ma o'u nei no e nohoalii ai na alii, A e kau aku ai no hoi na kaukaualii i ke kanawai pono.
15By me kings reign, and lawgivers decree just things,
16Ma o'u nei no hoi e hoomalu ai na kiaaina, A me na'lii, a me na lunakanawai a pau o ka honua.
16By me princes rule, and the mighty decree justice.
17He aloha ko'u i ka poe e aloha mai ia'u; O ka poe imi pono mai, o lakou ke loaa ia'u.
17I love them that love me: and they that in the morning early watch for me, shall find me.
18Me au ka waiwai a me ka hanohano; O ka waiwai e mau ana hoi a me ka pono.
18With me are riches and glory, glorious riches and justice.
19Ua maikai ko'u hua mamua o ke gula a me ke gula maikai; He mea kohoia hoi ka waiwai ma o'u nei mamua o ke kala.
19For my fruit is better than gold and the precious stone, and my blossoms than choice silver.
20Ma ke ala o ka pono ka'u e alakai ai, Mawaena hoi o na alanui o ka hoopono:
20I walk in the way of justice, in the midst of the paths of judgment,
21I hooili au i ka waiwai no ka poe aloha mai ia'u, A e hoopiha au i ko lakou waihona waiwai.
21That I may enrich them that love me, and may fill their treasures.
22Na Iehova no wau i kinohou o kona noho ana, Mamua o kana hana ana i ka wa kahiko.
22The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made any thing from the beginning.
23Mai ka po mai ua hoonohoia au, Mai kinohi mai, mamua hoi o ka honua.
23I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made.
24I ka wa i ole ai na wahi hohonu, ua hanau no au, I wa i ole ai na puuawai i piha i ka wai.
24The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived. neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out:
25Mamua o ka hoonoho ana i na mauna, Mamua o na kuahiwi ua hanau au:
25The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth:
26Aole hoi oia i hana i ka honua a me na kula, A me kahi huna lepo iki o ka honua.
26He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.
27I kona hohola ana i ka lani, owau no kekahi malaila, I kona kau ana i ke kanawai maluna o ka hohonu;
27When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths:
28I kona hoolewalewa ana i na ao maluna, I kona hoonoho ana i na punawai o ka hohonu;
28When he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters:
29I kona kau ana i ke kanawai no ka moana, I ole e hu wale aku na kai mamua ona; I kona hookumu paa ana i ka honua:
29When he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits: when be balanced the foundations of the earth;
30Alaila, owau pu kekahi me ia me he keiki hiwahiwa la; O kona olioli no au i kela la i keia la, E hauoli mau ana hoi imua o kona alo;
30I was with him forming all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all times;
31E hauoli ana i na wahi i noho ai na kanaka o ka honua ona; O ko'u olioli nui hoi, aia me na keiki a kanaka.
31Playing in the world: and my delights were to be with the children of men.
32Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u; Pomaikai ka poe i malama mai i ko'u aoao.
32Now therefore, ye children, hear me: Blessed are they that keep my ways.
33E hoolohe mai i ke ao ana a e hoomanao iho, Mai pale ae oukou.
33Hear instruction and be wise, and refuse it not.
34Pomaikai ke kanaka ke lohe mai i ka'u, He kiai hoi oia, i ko'u mau puka i kela la i keia la, Ke kakali hoi oia ma na kia o ko'u mau puka.
34Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors.
35No ka mea, o ka mea o'u i loaa ai, ua loaa ia ia ke ola, E loaa hoi ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai e Iehova.
35He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:
36Aka, o ka mea i hana ino mai ia'u, ua pepehi oia i kona uhane iho; O ka poe inaina mai ia'u oia ka i koho i ka make.
36But he that shall sin against me, shall hurt his own soul. All that hate me love death.
