King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
1O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
2The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
2O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
3The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
3Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
4A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
4O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
5A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
5Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
6In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
6O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
7The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.
7O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
8The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD : but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
8O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
9The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
9He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
10Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die.
10O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
11Hell and destruction are before the LORD : how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
11O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka.
12A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
12Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
13A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
13Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
14The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
14O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
15All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.
15Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
16Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
16Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
17Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
17Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
18A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeaseth strife.
18O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
19The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
19O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
20A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
20O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
21Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
21O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
22Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it !
23He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
24The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
24O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo.
25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
25O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
26He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
27O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
28O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
29The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
29Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
30The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
30O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
31The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
31O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
32He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
32O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
33The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
33O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
