Proverbs 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Whoso loveth knowledge loveth correction; but he that is brutish hateth reproof.
1O KA mea makemake i ke aoia mai, oia ka i makemake i ka ike; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ke aoia mai, he holoholona ia.
2A good man shall obtain favour of the LORD; but a man of wicked devices will He condemn.
2O ka mea maikai, e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikai no Iehova mai; A e hoohewa mai oia i ke kanaka hoopunipuni.
3A man shall not be established by wickedness; but the root of the righteous shall never be moved.
3Aole ma ka hewa e ku paa'i ke kanaka; O ka hookumu ana o ka poe pono, aole ia e neenee ae.
4A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband; but she that doeth shamefully is as rottenness in his bones.
4O ka wahine noho pono he papale alii oia i kana kane; Aka, me he mea popopo la i kona mau iwi ka wahine e hoohilahila aku.
5The thoughts of the righteous are right; but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.
5O ka manao ana o ka poe pono, aia ma ka hoopono; O ke kuka ana o ka poe hewa, aia ma ka hoopunipuni.
6The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood; but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
6O ka olelo a ka poe hewa, he hoohalua ia i ke koko; Aka, o ka waha o ka poe pololei, oia ka lakou e hoopakele aku.
7The wicked are overthrown, and are not; but the house of the righteous shall stand.
7Ua hooauhulihia ka poe hewa, a nalowale; E ku mau ana hoi ka hale o ka poe pono.
8A man shall be commended according to his intelligence; but he that is of a distorted understanding shall be despised.
8E hoomaikaiia ke kanaka e like me kona akamai; Aka, o ka mea naau lokoino, e hoowahawahaia oia.
9Better is he that is lightly esteemed, and hath a servant, than he that playeth the man of rank, and lacketh bread.
9O ka mea i hoowahawahaia, a he kauwa nana, Oi aku oia i ka mea hoohanohano ia ia iho, a nele i ka ai ole.
10A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
10Manao no ke kanaka pono i ka ola o kona holoholona; Aka, o ke aloha o ka poe hewa, he lokoino no ia.
11He that tilleth his ground shall have plenty of bread; but he that followeth after vain things is void of understanding.
11O ka mea i mahi i kona aina, e maona no i ka ai; Aka, o ka hoopili mea ai me ka poe palaualelo, he lapuwale ia.
12The wicked desireth the prey of evil men; but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
12He lealea i ka mea hewa ka punihei ino ana; O ke kumu o ka poe pono e hua mai no ia.
13In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; but the righteous cometh out of trouble.
13Ma ka ino o na lehelehe i puniheiia'i ka mea hewa; E puka mai no hoi ka mea pono noloko ae o ka pilikia.
14A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the doings of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
14Ma ka hua o ka waha, e maona ai ke kanaka i ka maikai; O ka uku o ko ke kanaka lima e haawiia ia ia.
15The way of a fool is straight in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.
15O ka aoao o ka mea naaupo, ua pololei ia i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, ua naauao oia.
16A fool's vexation is presently known; but a prudent man concealeth shame.
16O ka huhu o ka naaupo o ike koke ia; Hoonalowale ka mea maalea i ka mea e hilahila'i.
17He that breatheth forth truth uttereth righteousness; but a false witness deceit.
17O ka mea hai aku i ka oiaio, hoike oia i ka pono; A o ka hoike wahahee hoi, hoike oia i ka hoopunipuni.
18There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
18Olelo kekahi e like me ka hou ana o ka pahikaua; A o ke elelo o ka poe naauao, ma ka hoola ia.
19The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
19O na lehelehe oiaio, e mau ana no ia; O ke elelo wahahee e pau koke no ia.
20Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil; but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
20He hoopunipuni ma ka naau o ka poe manao ino; A no ka poe kukakuka i ka maluhia, he olioli.
21There shall no mischief befall the righteous; but the wicked are filled with evil.
21Aole e loohia mai ka mea pono e ka poino; Aka, piha no ka poe hewa i na mea e ino ai.
22Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD; but they that deal truly are His delight.
22He mea hoopailua ia Iehova na lehelehe hoopunipuni; O ka poe hana ma ka oiaio, oia kona olioli.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
23O ke kanaka noeau, e waiho ana ia ia ka ike; O ka naau o na naaupo, hoike wale no ia i ka lapuwale.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
24O ka lima o ka poe hana mau e lilo oia i haku; O ka mea hoomolowa, malalo no ia o ka hookupu.
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
25O ke kaumaha iloko o ka naau o ka kanaka, he mea e kulou iho ai; Aka, ma ka olelo maikai ia e hooluoluia'i.
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
26Ua maikai ka mea pono mamua o kona hoanoho; O ka aoao o ka poe hewa, e hoowalewale oia ia lakou.
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
27Aole o hopu ka molowa i kana mea ai; Aka, o ka waiwai o ke kanaka maikai, he gula ia.
28In the way of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
28Ma ke ala pono ke ola, Ma kolaila kuamoo no hoi, aole e make.
