Proverbs 29
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be broken, and that without remedy.
1O KE kanaka i ao pinepine ia a hoopaakiki hoi i kona a-i, E make koke no ia, aole mea e ola'i.
2When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice; but when the wicked beareth rule, the people sigh.
2I ka lehulehu ana e ka poe pono, hauoli na kanaka; A i ke alii ana o ka mea hewa, ulono ae la na kanaka.
3Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father; but he that keepeth company with harlots wasteth his substance.
3O ke kanaka e ake ana i ka naauao, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ka mea launa aku me na wahine hookamakama, hokai wale aku oia i kana waiwai.
4The king by justice establisheth the land; but he that exacteth gifts overthroweth it.
4Ma ka hoopono, e hooku paa ai ke alii i ka aina; O ka mea lawe i na makana, oia ke hoohiolo iho.
5A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his steps.
5O ke kanaka malimali aku i kona hoanoho, Oia ka i hohola i ka hei no kona mau wawae.
6In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; but the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
6Puniheiia ke kanaka hewa ma kona hewa iho; Hauoli no ka mea pono me ka olioli.
7The righteous taketh knowledge of the cause of the poor; the wicked understandeth not knowledge.
7Ike aku no ka mea pono i ka pilikia o ka poe ilihune; A o ka mea hewa, aole ona manao e ike aku.
8Scornful men set a city in a blaze; but wise men turn away wrath.
8O ka poe hoowahawaha, hoohihia lakou i ke kulanakauhale; O ka poe naauao, pale ae lakou i ka huhu.
9If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
9Ina e hoopaapaa ke kanaka naauao, me ke kanaka hewa, He huhu paha kona, he akaaka paha, aohe oluolu iki.
10The men of blood hate him that is sincere; and as for the upright, they seek his life.
10O ka poe punikoko, inaina aku lakou i ka mea pololei; Imi hoi ka poe hoopono i ke ola nona.
11A fool spendeth all his spirit; but a wise man stilleth it within him.
11Hoopuka mai ka mea naaupo i kona manao a pau; Noho malie hoi ka mea naauao a mahope aku.
12If a ruler hearkeneth to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
12Ina e haliu ae ke alii i ka olelo wahahee, Pau loa kana poe kauwa i ka hana hewa.
13The poor man and the oppressor meet together; the LORD giveth light to the eyes of them both.
13O ka mea ilihune, a o ke kanaka hookaumaha e halawai pu laua; Na Iehova e hoomalamalama i na maka o laua a elua.
14The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever.
14O ke alii e hooponopono ana i ka poe ilihune ma ka oiaio, E paa mau loa no kona nohoalii.
15The rod and reproof give wisdom; but a child left to himself causeth shame to his mother.
15O ka laau hahau, a me ke aoia mai, haawi no i ka naauao; A o ko keiki waiho wale ia, oia ke hoohilahila i kona makuwahine.
16When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; but the righteous shall gaze upon their fall.
16I ka mahuahua ana o ka poe howa, mahuahua no ke kolohe; E ike hoi ka poe pono i ko lakau haule ana.
17Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest; yea, he will give delight unto thy soul.
17E haua i kau keiki, a nana oe e hoomaha mai; E lilo no ia i mea e olioli ai kou uhane.
18Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
18I ole ke aoia mai, hele hewa na kanaka; A o ka mea malama i ke kanawai, pomaikai oia.
19A servant will not be corrected by words; for though he understand, there will be no response.
19Ma ka olelo wale ana, aole e aoia mai ke kauwa; No ka mea ina paha i ike, aole ia e pane mai,
20Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope for a fool than for him.
20Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka wikiwiki i ka olelo? Ua lana ka manao no ka mea naaupo aole nona.
21He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become master at the last.
21O ka mea hoohiwahiwa i kana kauwa mai kona wa uuku mai, Mahope iho, e lilo oia i keiki nana.
22An angry man stirreth up strife, and a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
22O ke kanaka huhu, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka, A o ka mea inaina wale, nui ae la kona hewa.
23A man's pride shall bring him low; but he that is of a lowly spirit shall attain to honour.
23O ka haaheo o ke kanaka, oia ka mea uana ia e hoohaahaa iho; E pili hoi ka hanohano i ka mea haahaa ka naau.
24Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth the adjuration and uttereth nothing.
24O ka mea lawe pu me ka aihue, inaina aku oia i kona uhane iho; Ua lohe oia i ka hailiili, aole hoi i hoike aku.
25The fear of man bringeth a snare; but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be set up on high.
25O ka makau i ke kanaka, he mea ia e hihia ai; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova ua palekana oia.
26Many seek the ruler's favour; but a man's judgment cometh from the LORD.
26Nui ka poe imi i ka lokomaikaiia mai e ke alii, Aka, no Iehova mai ka hoopono ana i ke kanaka.
27An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous; and he that is upright in the way is an abomination to the wicked.
27He mea hoopailua i ka poe pono ke kanaka hoopono ole; He mea hoopailua hoi i ka mea hewa, ka mea pololei ma kona aoao.
