Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A false balance is an abomination to the LORD, but accurate weights are his delight.
1O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
2When pride comes, then comes shame, but with humility comes wisdom.
2A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
3The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them.
3O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
4Riches don’t profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
4O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
5The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
5O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
6The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but the unfaithful will be trapped by evil desires.
6Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
7When a wicked man dies, hope perishes, and expectation of power comes to nothing.
7I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
8A righteous person is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked takes his place.
8Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
9With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
9Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
10When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there is shouting.
10I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
11By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
11Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
12One who despises his neighbor is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding holds his peace.
12O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
13One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
13O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
14Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
14Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
15He who is collateral for a stranger will suffer for it, but he who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
15E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
16A gracious woman obtains honor, but violent men obtain riches.
16O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
17The merciful man does good to his own soul, but he who is cruel troubles his own flesh.
17O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
18Wicked people earn deceitful wages, but one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
18O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
19He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
19E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
20Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to the LORD, but those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
20He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
21Most certainly, the evil man will not be unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
21Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
22Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout, is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
22Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
23The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
23O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
24There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
24Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
25The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.
25O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
26People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.
26O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
27He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him.
27O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
28He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
28O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
29He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind. The foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart.
29O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
30The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
30O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
31Behold, the righteous shall be repaid on the earth, how much more the wicked and the sinner!
31Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
