Solomona 8
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1A OLE anei i hea mai ka naauao? Aole anei i pane mai ka ike i kona leo?
1Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2Maluna o na wahi kiekie, ma ke ala, Ma kahi o na alanui, ku ae la oia.
2She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3Ma na ipuka, ma ke alo o ke kulanakauhale, Ma na wahi e komo ai, kahea mai la oia.
3She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4Ke hea aku nei au ia oukou, e na kanaka; O ko'u leo hoi i na keiki a kanaka.
4Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5E na mea ike ole, e ike oukou i ke akamai; E hoonaauao hoi oukou, e ka poe naaupo.
5O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
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 excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7No ka mea, e hoike mai kuu waha i ka oiaio; He mea hoopailua ka hewa i ko'u mau lehelehe.
7For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8Ma ka pono na olelo a pau a ko'u waha; Aole wahahee, aohe mea kekee malaila.
8All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or 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 all plain to him that understandeth, and right 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 silver; and knowledge rather than choice 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 rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to 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 with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
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 is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14Ia'u ka ike a me ke akamai; Owau no ka noonoo, ia'u hoi ka ikaika.
14Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
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 princes decree justice.
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 nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
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 those that seek me early shall find me.
18Me au ka waiwai a me ka hanohano; O ka waiwai e mau ana hoi a me ka pono.
18Riches and honour are with me; yea , durable riches and righteousness.
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.
19My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20Ma ke ala o ka pono ka'u e alakai ai, Mawaena hoi o na alanui o ka hoopono:
20I lead in the way of righteousness, 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 cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will 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 way, before his works of old.
23Mai ka po mai ua hoonohoia au, Mai kinohi mai, mamua hoi o ka honua.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
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.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Mamua o ka hoonoho ana i na mauna, Mamua o na kuahiwi ua hanau au:
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26Aole hoi oia i hana i ka honua a me na kula, A me kahi huna lepo iki o ka honua.
26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust 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 there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28I kona hoolewalewa ana i na ao maluna, I kona hoonoho ana i na punawai o ka hohonu;
28When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
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 gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed 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;
30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
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.
31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u; Pomaikai ka poe i malama mai i ko'u aoao.
32Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for 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, watching daily at my gates, waiting 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.
35For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of 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 sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
