Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
1O KA wahine naauao, oia ke kukulu i kona hale; Wawahi iho la ka mea naaupo me kona mau lima.
2He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.
2O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, oia ka i makau ia Iehova; O ka mea i hookekee i kona aoao, oia ka i hoowahawaha ia ia.
3The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
3Ma ka waha o ka mea naaupo, he laau hahau ka haaheo; O na lehelehe o ka poe naauao, oia ke malama aku ia lakou.
4Where no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
4I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.
5A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.
5O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
6A scoffer seeks wisdom, and doesn’t find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
6Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
7Stay away from a foolish man, for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
7E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
8The wisdom of the prudent is to think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
8O ke akamai o ka mea ike, oia ka hoomaopopo ana i kona aoao; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, oia ka hoopunipuni.
9Fools mock at making atonement for sins, but among the upright there is good will.
9Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
10The heart knows its own bitterness and joy; he will not share these with a stranger.
10Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
11The house of the wicked will be overthrown, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
11O ka hale o ka poe hewa, e hoohioloia; O ka halelewa o ka poe pololei, e paa mau no ia,
12There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
12O kekahi aoao, he pololei ia i kanaka; O kona hope hoi, oia ka aoao o ka make.
13Even in laughter the heart may be sorrowful, and mirth may end in heaviness.
13I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
14The unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be rewarded for his ways.
14E hoopihaia auauei ka naau o ka mea hoi hope i kona aoaoiho; A o ke kanaka maikai hoi i kona hua iho.
15A simple man believes everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.
15Manaoio no ka mea noonoo ole i na olelo a pau; Aka, o ka mea maalea, nana pono oia i kona hele ana.
16A wise man fears and shuns evil, but the fool is hot headed and reckless.
16O ka mea naauao, makau no ia, a haalele i ka hewa; O ka mea lapuwale hoi, he haaheo kona a me ka makau ole.
17He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty man is hated.
17O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.
18The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
18E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poe noonoo ole; E kau hoi ka ike me he lei la maluna o ka poe naauao.
19The evil bow down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
19Kulou ae ka poe hewa imua i ke alo o ka poe maikai; O ka poe aia hoi ma ka ipuka o ka mea pono.
20The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many friends.
20Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
21He who despises his neighbor sins, but he who has pity on the poor is blessed.
21O ka mea hoowahawaha i kona hoanoho, ua hewa oia; O ka mea lokomaikai aku i ka mea i nele, pomaikai oia.
22Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But love and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
22Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
23In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
23Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
24The crown of the wise is their riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
24O ka lei o ka poe akamai, oia ko lakou waiwai; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, he lapuwale wale iho no ia.
25A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
25Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
26In the fear of the LORD is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.
26Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
27The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death.
27O ka makau ia Iehova, he punawai ola ia, He mea ia e haalele ai i na pahele o ka make.
28In the multitude of people is the king’s glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
28Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
29He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.
29O ka mea uumi i ka huhu, oia ka noonoo nui; O ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhu, oia ke hoike i ka lapuwale.
30The life of the body is a heart at peace, but envy rots the bones.
30O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
31He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.
31O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea nele, oia ka i hoowahawaha i ka Mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea malama aku ia ia, oia ke aloha i ka mea ilihune.
32The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.
32Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
33Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
33Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
34Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
34Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
35The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
35O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
