Proverbs 19
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity than he that is perverse in his lips and a fool at the same time.
1MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
2Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
2O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
3The foolishness of man perverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
3O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
4Wealth addeth many friends; but as for the poor, his friend separateth himself from him.
4O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall not escape.
5O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
6Many will entreat the favour of the liberal man; and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts.
6Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
7All the brethren of the poor do hate him; how much more do his friends go far from him! He that pursueth words, they turn against him.
7Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
8He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
8O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished; and he that breatheth forth lies shall perish.
9O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
10Luxury is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
11It is the discretion of a man to be slow to anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
11O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
12The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
12He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
13He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
14House and riches are the inheritance of fathers; but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
15Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
16He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his soul; but he that despiseth His ways shall die.
16O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
17He that is gracious unto the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and his good deed will He repay unto him.
17O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
18Chasten thy son, for there is hope; but set not thy heart on his destruction.
18E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
19A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment; for if thou interpose, thou wilt add thereto.
19O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
20Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
20E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
21There are many devices in a man's heart; but the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
21Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
22The lust of a man is his shame; and a poor man is better than a liar.
22O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
23The fear of the LORD tendeth to life; and he that hath it shall abide satisfied, he shall not be visited with evil.
23O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
24The sluggard burieth his hand in the dish, and will not so much as bring it back to his mouth.
24Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
25When thou smitest a scorner, the simple will become prudent; and when one that hath understanding is reproved, he will understand knowledge.
25E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
26A son that dealeth shamefully and reproachfully will despoil his father, and chase away his mother.
26O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
27Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
27Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
28An ungodly witness mocketh at right; and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
28I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
29Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
29Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
