King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.
1MAI kuko oe i ka aoao o na kanaka hewa, Aole makemake hoi e noho pu me lakou.
2For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.
2No ka mea, noonoo ae la ko lakou naau i ka mea e make ai, A no ka ino hoi ko lakou lehelehe e kamailio ai.
3Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
3Ma ke akamai i kukuluia'i ka hale, Ma ka naauao hoi ia i hookupaaia'i.
4And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
4Na ka ike e hoopihaia'i na keena, I na waiwai a pau, he maikai no a he nani hoi.
5A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
5O ke kanaka naauao, he ikaika no ia; E mahuahua ana no ka ikaika o ke kanaka ike.
6For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.
6No ka mea, ma ka noonoo nui oe e kaua aku ai, A he ola no ma ka nui o ka poe kukakuka pu.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.
7He kiekie loa ka naauao maluna o ka mea naaupo; Aole e oaka kona waha ma ka ipuka.
8He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
8O ka mea noonoo e hana hewa aku, E kapaia'ku ia he mea hana kolohe.
9The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
9O ka manao lapuwale, he hewa ia; A he hoopailua i na kanaka ka mea hoowahawaha.
10If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
10Ina pauaho oe i kou la popilikia, Uuku wale no kou ikaika.
11If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
11Ina e hookaulua oe e hoopakele i ka poe i hana paa ia e make, A me ka poe e kokoke ana i ka pepehiia mai;
12If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
12Ina e i ae oe, E, aole makou i ike; Aole anei e noonoo mai ka mea nana e kaupaona na naau? A o ka mea hoi nana e malama i ka uhane, aole anei oia e ike? Aole anei oia e hoopai i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana?
13My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:
13E kuu keiki, e ai iho oe i ka meli, no ka mea, he maikai ia; A i ka waihona meli hoi he ono ia i kou waha;
14So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it , then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.
14Pela hoi ka ike ana i ka naauao i kou uhane; A i loaa ia oe, alaila he hope, A o kou manaolana aole ia e poho.
15Lay not wait, O wicked man , against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place:
15Mai hoohalua, e ke kanaka hewa, ma ka hale o ka mea pono; Mai powa aku oe ma kona wahi e moe ai.
16For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
16No ka mea, ehiku no ka haule ana o ka mea pono, a ala hou mai no; O ka poe hewa, e hina no lakou iloko o ka poino.
17Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
17I ka haule ana o kou euemi, mai hauoli oe, I koua hina ana hoi mai olioli kou naau;
18Lest the LORD see it , and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
18O ike mai Iehova he hewa ia i kona mau maka, A e hoohuli oia i kona huhu mai ona aku.
19Fret not thyself because of evil men , neither be thou envious at the wicked;
19Mai ukiuki oe no ka poe hewa, Aole hoi e kuko i ka noho ana o ka poe hana ino.
20For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
20No ka mea, aohe uku maikai no ka mea hewa; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio ana no ia.
21My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
21E kuu keiki, e makau aku ia Iehova, a me ke alii; Me ka poe lolelua ka naau, mai launa aku.
22For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both?
22No ka mea, e hiki wawe mai ko lakou poino; A o ka make ana o laua a elua, owai ka mea ike aku?
23These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.
23Na ka poe naauao hoi keia mau mea: O ka manao kapakahi ma ka hookolokolo ana, aole i pono ia.
24He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:
24O ka mea olelo aku i ka mea hewa, He pono no oe; E hoino aku no na kanaka ia ia, E hoowahawaha hoi na lahuikanaka ia ia.
25But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.
25Aka, he oluolu ko ka poe i ao aku, E hiki mai hoi ia lakou ka pomaikai io.
26Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer.
26E honiia'ku na lehelehe O ka mea olelo aku ma ka pololei.
27Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house.
27Muwaho e hoomakaukau ai i kau hana, A e hooponopono nou iho ma ke kula; A mahope iho, e kukula ae i kou hale.
28Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips.
28Mai liio hala ole oe i hoike ku e i kou hoanoho; Aole hoi e hoopunipuni me kou mau lehelehe.
29Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
29Mai olelo oe, E like me ia i hana mai ai ia'u, pela au e hana aku ai ia ia; E hoopai aku au i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana.
30I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
30Ma ke kihapai o ka mea palaualelo i maalo ai au, Ma ka pawaina hoi o ke Kanaka noonoo ole:
31And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.
31Aia hoi, ulu paapu ae la ka puakala, Uhi mai la maluna ona na kakalaioa, O kona pa pohaku hoi, ua hiolo iho la ia.
32Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
32Nana aku la au, halalo iho la ko'u naau; Ike iho la au, a loaa ia'u ke aoia mai.
33Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
33He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i na lima a hiamoe;
34So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.
34A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
