Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A wise son listens to his father’s instruction, but a scoffer doesn’t listen to rebuke.
1O KE keiki akamai, aia no ia ma ke aoia e kona makuakane; O ka mea hoowahawaha, aole ia e hoolohe i ke aoia mai.
2By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things, but the unfaithful crave violence.
2Ma ka hua o ka waha e ai ai ke kanaka i ka maikai: E ai ka uhane o ka poe aia i ka poino.
3He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
3O ka mea malama i kona waha, malama no ia i kona uhane; O ka mea hoohamama i ka waha, e loaa ia ia ka make.
4The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing, but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
4Makemake wale ka uhane o ka mea hiamoe, aole i loaa; O ka uhane o ka poe hana mau, e maona no ia.
5A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
5Ua inaina mai ka mea pono i ka olelo wahahee; O ka mea hewa la, he hoopailua ia a me ka hilahila.
6Righteousness guards the way of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
6Na ka pono e kiai i ka mea hele pololei; Na ka hewa hoi e hoohiolo i ka mea lawehala.
7There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
7Hoowaiwai kekahi ia ia iho, aole nae he wahi mea ia ia; Hoonele hoi kekahi ia ia iho, a nui no nae kana waiwai.
8The ransom of a man’s life is his riches, but the poor hear no threats.
8O ka panai ana o ko ke kanaka ola, o kona waiwai no ia; O ka mea ilihune, aole ia e hoolohe i ke aoia mai.
9The light of the righteous shines brightly, but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out.
9O ka malamalama o ka poe pono, he mea hoohauoli ia; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio auauei ia.
10Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is with people who take advice.
10Ma ka haaheo wale no ka hakaka; Ma ka poe kukakuka pono ka naauao.
11Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away, but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.
11E hele liilii ka waiwai i haapuka wale ia; O ka mea hoiliili ma ka hana, e mahuahua no.
12Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when longing is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
12O ka manaolana i hoopaneeia, oia ka mea e maule ai ka naau; A hiki mai ka mea i makemakeia, oia ka laau o ke ola.
13Whoever despises instruction will pay for it, but he who respects a command will be rewarded.
13O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka olelo, e make no ia; O ka mea makau aku i ke kanawai, e ukuia oia,
14The teaching of the wise is a spring of life, to turn from the snares of death.
14O ke ao ana o ke kanaka naauao, he punawai ola ia, He mea hoi e pakele ai i na pahele o ka make.
15Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the unfaithful is hard.
15Ma ka noonoo pono i loaa'i ka lokomaikaiia mai; O ka aoao o ka poe aia, he pilikia ia.
16Every prudent man acts from knowledge, but a fool exposes folly.
16E haua no na mea noonoo a pau ma ka ike; O ka naaupo hoi ka i hoike aku i ka lapuwale.
17A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy gains healing.
17O ke kukini hewa, haule oia i ka lalau, O ka elele oiaio hoi, oia ka mea e pono ai.
18Poverty and shame come to him who refuses discipline, but he who heeds correction shall be honored.
18He ilihune a he hilahila i ka mea haalele i ke aoia mai; O ka mea malama i ke aoia mai, e hoomaikaiia mai oia.
19Longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul, but fools detest turning from evil.
19O ka makemake i loaa mai, he ono no ia i ka uhane; He mea hoowahawaha i ka poe lapuwale, ka haalele i ka hewa.
20One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
20O ka mea hele pu me ka poe akamai, akamai no ia; O ka hoalauna o ka poe lapuwale, e mahuahua ka hewa.
21Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.
21Hahai ka poino i ka poe hewa; E ukuia ka poe pono i ka pomaikai.
22A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored for the righteous.
22E hooili mai ko ka mea maikai no kana poe mamo; Ua waihoia hoi na ka poe pono ka waiwai o ka mea hewa.
23An abundance of food is in poor people’s fields, but injustice sweeps it away.
23O ka ai nui, aia ma ka mahiai o ka poe ilihune; Lilo wale hoi kekahi no ka noonoo ole.
24One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him.
24O ka mea hookaaokoa i ka laau hahau, oia ke aloha ole i kana keiki; O ka mea aloha ia ia, imi no ia i ke aoia mai nona.
25The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.
25E ai no ka poe pono, a maona kona uhane, O ka opu o ka poe hewa, e nele ia i ka ai ole.
