Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Better is the poor who walks in his integrity than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.
1MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
2It isn’t good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty with one’s feet and miss the way.
2O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
3The foolishness of man subverts his way; his heart rages against the LORD.
3O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
4Wealth adds many friends, but the poor is separated from his friend.
4O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
5A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who pours out lies shall not go free.
5O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
6Many will entreat the favor of a ruler, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
6Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
7All the relatives of the poor shun him; how much more do his friends avoid him! He pursues them with pleas, but they are gone.
7Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
8He who gets wisdom loves his own soul. He who keeps understanding shall find good.
8O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
9A false witness shall not be unpunished. He who utters lies shall perish.
9O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
10Delicate living is not appropriate for a fool, much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
10Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
11The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger. It is his glory to overlook an offense.
11O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.
12He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
13A foolish son is the calamity of his father. A wife’s quarrels are a continual dripping.
13He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
14House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.
14O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
15Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep. The idle soul shall suffer hunger.
15O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
16He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul, but he who is contemptuous in his ways shall die.
16O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
17He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD; he will reward him.
17O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
18Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death.
18E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
19A hot-tempered man must pay the penalty, for if you rescue him, you must do it again.
19O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
20Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter end.
20E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
21There are many plans in a man’s heart, but the LORD’s counsel will prevail.
21Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
22That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.
22O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
23The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.
23O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
24The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; he will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
24Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
25Flog a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.
25E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
26He who robs his father and drives away his mother is a son who causes shame and brings reproach.
26O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
27If you stop listening to instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.
27Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
28A corrupt witness mocks justice, and the mouth of the wicked gulps down iniquity.
28I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
29Penalties are prepared for scoffers, and beatings for the backs of fools.
29Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
