Proverbs 22
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
1HE mea makemakeia ke kaulaua mamua o ka waiwai he nui; A mamua hoi o ke kala a me ke gula ka lokomaikai io.
2The rich and the poor meet together — the LORD is the maker of them all.
2Halawai pu ka poe waiwai a me ka poe ilihune; Na Iehova lakou a pau i hana.
3A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.
3Nana ae la ka mea noonoo i ka ino, a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka mea naaupo a hihia oia.
4The reward of humility is the fear of the LORD, even riches, and honour, and life.
4No ka naau haahaa, ka makau ia Iehova, Ka waiwai hoi a me ka hanohano a me ke ola.
5Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward; he that keepeth his soul holdeth himself far from them.
5Aia na kakalaioa a me na mea hihia ma ke ala o ka mea hele kekee; O ka mea malama i kona uhane, kaawale no oia ia mau mea.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.
6E ao aku i ke kamalii i kona aoao, A elemakule oia, aole ia e huli ae mailaila aku.
7The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
7Noho alii ka mea waiwai maluna o ka poe ilihune, He kauwa hoi ka mea hoopili wale na ke kanaka haawi wale.
8He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity; and the rod of his wrath shall fail.
8O ka mea lulu aku i ka hewa, e ohi ia i ka popilikia; Ua hoopauia ka laau hahau o kona huhu.
9He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor.
9O ka mea maka lokomaikai, e hoomaikaiia oia; No ka mea, ua haawi wale ia i kekahi o kana berena i ka mea nele.
10Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out; yea, strife and shame will cease.
10E hookuke aku i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e kaawale aku hoi ka hoopaapaa; E pau hoi ka hakaka a me ka hoomaewaewa.
11He that loveth pureness of heart, that hath grace in his lips, the king shall be his friend.
11O ka mea makemake aku i ka naau maemae, No ka lokomaikai o kona mau lehelehe, o lilo ke alii i hoaaloha nona.
12The eyes of the LORD preserve him that hath knowledge, but He overthroweth the words of the faithless man.
12O na maka o Iehova, malama aku no i ka ike, Hoohiolo oia i na olelo a ka mea aia.
13The sluggard saith: 'There is a lion without; I shall be slain in the streets.'
13Olelo ae la ka mea palaualelo, he liona mawaho, E make auanei au ma ke alanui.
14The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
14He lua hohonu ka waha o ka wahine hookamakama, O ka mea inainaia e Iehova, e haule no ia malaila.
15Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
15Ua paa ke kolohe iloko o ka naau o ke kamalii, O ka laau hahau, oia ke hoohemo ae ia mea mai ona aku.
16One may oppress the poor, yet will their gain increase; one may give to the rich, yet will want come.
16O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea ilihune i mea e hoomahuahua ai i kana iho, A o ka mea haawi no ka mea waiwai, e nele io no laua a elua.
17Incline thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thy heart unto my knowledge.
17E haliu mai kou pepeiao a e hoolohe i na olelo a ka poe naauao, A e imi iho kou naau i ko'u ike.
18For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; let them be established altogether upon thy lips.
18No ka mea, he oluolu no ke malama oe ia mau mea iloko ou, E ku pono no hoi i kou mau lehelehe;
19That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made them known to thee this day, even to thee.
19I paulele oe ia Iehova, Oia ka'u i hoike ai ia oe, ia oe no i keia la,
20Have not I written unto thee excellent things of counsels and knowledge;
20Aole anei i palapala aku au ia oe i na maikai, Ma na oleloao a me ka ike?
21That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth, that thou mightest bring back words of truth to them that send thee?
21I hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka oiaio o ka olelo pololei, I hai pololei aku oe i ka poe i hoounaia mai ia oe.
22Rob not the weak, because he is weak, neither crush the poor in the gate;
22Mai kaili wale oe i ka ka mea ilihune no kona ilihune ana; Aole hoi e hookaumaha i ka mea nele ma kahi o ka ipuka:
23For the LORD will plead their cause, and despoil of life those that despoil them.
23No ka mea, na Iehova e hooponopono no lakou, E hao mai oia i ka uhane o ka poe i hao aku ia lakou.
24Make no friendship with a man that is given to anger; and with a wrathful man thou shalt not go;
24Mai hoolauna aku oe me ka mea huhu, A, me ke kanaka inaina hoi, mai hele pu oe;
25Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul.
25O ao iho oe i kona mau aoao, A loaa i kou uhane ka hihia.
26Be thou not of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts;
26Mai hui ae oe me ka poe pai aku i ka lima; Aole hoi me ka poe panai no ka aie:
27If thou hast not wherewith to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee?
27Ina aole au mea e hookaa aku ai, No ke aha la e laweia aku ai kou wahi moe mailalo aku ou?
28Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
28Mai honeenee oe i na mokuna aina kahiko, Na mea a kou poe kupuna i hoonoho ai.
29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
29Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka miki ma kana hana? E ku no ia imua o na'lii, Aole oia e ku imua o ka poe naaupo.
