Proverbs 31
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1The words of king Lemuel; the burden wherewith his mother corrected him.
1NA olelo a Lemuela ke alii, ka wanana a kona makuwahine i ao mai ai ia ia.
2What, my son? and what, O son of my womb? and what, O son of my vows?
2Heaha, e ka'u keiki? Heaha, e ke keiki a ko'u opu? Heaha hoi, e ke keiki no ko'u hoohiki ana?
3Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.
3Mai haawi aku i kou ikaika i na wahine, Aole hoi i kou aoao i ka mea e make ai na alii.
4It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine: nor for princes to say: 'Where is strong drink?'
4Aole na na'lii, e Lemuela e, Aole na na'lii e inu i ka waina, Aole hoi na ka poe aialo e inu i ka mea ikaika;
5Lest they drink, and forget that which is decreed, and pervert the justice due to any that is afflicted.
5O inu lakou a hoopoina i ke kanawai, A kapae i ka pono o ka poe pilikia.
6Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul;
6E haawi i ka mea ikaika i ka mea e make ana, A i ka waina hoi i ka poe i kaumaha ka naau.
7Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
7E inu iho oia a o hoopoina i kona ilihune, Aole hoi e hoomanao hou ae i kona mea kaumaha.
8Open thy mouth for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
8E oaka oe i kou waha no ka mea kuli, No ka hoopono i na keiki makua ole a pau.
9Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
9E oaka oe i kou waha, e hooponopono ma ka pololei, E imi hoi i ka pono no ka poe ilihune a me ka mea nele.
10A woman of valour who can find? for her price is far above rubies.
10Owai ka mea i loaa ia ia ka wahine noho pono? He waiwai oia i oi aku i ko na momi.
11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and he hath no lack of gain.
11Paulele ia ia ka naau o kana kane, Aole e nele oia i ka loaa ole.
12She doeth him good and not evil all the days of her life.
12He maikai no kana e hana'i ia ia aole hoi ho hewa, I na la a pau loa o kona ola ana.
13She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
13Imi oia i ka huluhipa a me ke olona, Oluolu oia i ka hana me kona mau lima.
14She is like the merchant-ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
14Ua like no ia me na moku kalepa, Mai kahi loihi e mai i loaa'i ia ia kana ai.
15She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth food to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
15I ka wanaao, ala oia a haawi i ka ai na ko kona hale, A me ka mea e maona ai na kana poe kauwawahine.
16She considereth a field, and buyeth it; with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
16Noonoo oia i ka mahinaai a kuai lilo mai; Me ka hua o kona mau lima, kanu iho no oia i ka malawaina.
17She girdeth her loins with strength, and maketh strong her arms.
17Kaei oia i kona puhaka me ka ikaika, Hooikaika hoi oia i kona mau lima.
18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; her lamp goeth not out by night.
18Hoao oia i kona waiwai i maikai ia; Aole i pio kona kukui i ka po.
19She layeth her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle.
19O aku kona mau lima ma kahi e kau ai ke olona, Lalau kona mau lima i ka mea milo lope.
20She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
20O aku oia i kona mau lima i ka poe nele; Kikoo oia i kona mau lima i ka poe ilihune.
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household; for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
21Aole ona makau e ana ko kona hale; No ka mea, pau ko kona hale i ke komo kapa ulaula.
22She maketh for herself coverlets; her clothing is fine linen and purple.
22Hana oia i na kapa hoalii nona iho; O ke kilika a me ka mea ulaula, oia kona kahiko ana.
23Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
23Ua ikeia kana kane ma na ipuka, I kona noho pu ana me na lunakahiko o ka aina.
24She maketh linen garments and selleth them; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
24Hana oia i ka lole olona maikai, a kuai aku; Haawi oia i na kaei i ka poe kalepa.
25Strength and dignity are her clothing; and she laugheth at the time to come.
25O ka ikaika, a o ka hanohano, oia kona kahiko ana; E hauoli oia i ka manawa mahope aku.
26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is on her tongue.
26Oaka oia i kona waha ma ka naauao; A o ke aloha oia ke kanawai o kona alelo.
27She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
27Kiai oia i ka hele ana o ko kona hale, A o ka ai no ka palaualelo, aole oia e ai iho.
28Her children rise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her:
28Ku ae kana mau keiki a hoomaikai ia ia; O kana kane hoi, mahalo oia ia ia.
29'Many daughters have done valiantly, but thou excellest them all.'
29Nui na kaikamahine i hana pono, A ua oi aku oe mamua o lakou a pau.
30Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
30He hoopunipuni ke alohaia mai, he mea ole ka maka maikai; O ka wahine hoi i makau ia Iehova, oia ke hiilaniia.
31Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her works praise her in the gates.
31E haawi aku nana i ka hua o kona mau lima; O kana mau hana, oia ke hiilani ia ia ma na ipuka.
