Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold.
1HE mea makemakeia ke kaulaua mamua o ka waiwai he nui; A mamua hoi o ke kala a me ke gula ka lokomaikai io.
2The rich and the poor have this in common: The LORD is the maker of them all.
2Halawai pu ka poe waiwai a me ka poe ilihune; Na Iehova lakou a pau i hana.
3A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.
3Nana ae la ka mea noonoo i ka ino, a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka mea naaupo a hihia oia.
4The result of humility and the fear of the LORD is wealth, honor, and life.
4No ka naau haahaa, ka makau ia Iehova, Ka waiwai hoi a me ka hanohano a me ke ola.
5Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays far from them.
5Aia na kakalaioa a me na mea hihia ma ke ala o ka mea hele kekee; O ka mea malama i kona uhane, kaawale no oia ia mau mea.
6Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
6E ao aku i ke kamalii i kona aoao, A elemakule oia, aole ia e huli ae mailaila aku.
7The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender.
7Noho alii ka mea waiwai maluna o ka poe ilihune, He kauwa hoi ka mea hoopili wale na ke kanaka haawi wale.
8He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.
8O ka mea lulu aku i ka hewa, e ohi ia i ka popilikia; Ua hoopauia ka laau hahau o kona huhu.
9He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.
9O ka mea maka lokomaikai, e hoomaikaiia oia; No ka mea, ua haawi wale ia i kekahi o kana berena i ka mea nele.
10Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop.
10E hookuke aku i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e kaawale aku hoi ka hoopaapaa; E pau hoi ka hakaka a me ka hoomaewaewa.
11He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king’s friend.
11O ka mea makemake aku i ka naau maemae, No ka lokomaikai o kona mau lehelehe, o lilo ke alii i hoaaloha nona.
12The LORD’s eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful.
12O na maka o Iehova, malama aku no i ka ike, Hoohiolo oia i na olelo a ka mea aia.
13The sluggard says, “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!”
13Olelo ae la ka mea palaualelo, he liona mawaho, E make auanei au ma ke alanui.
14The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it.
14He lua hohonu ka waha o ka wahine hookamakama, O ka mea inainaia e Iehova, e haule no ia malaila.
15Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him.
15Ua paa ke kolohe iloko o ka naau o ke kamalii, O ka laau hahau, oia ke hoohemo ae ia mea mai ona aku.
16Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.
16O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea ilihune i mea e hoomahuahua ai i kana iho, A o ka mea haawi no ka mea waiwai, e nele io no laua a elua.
17Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching.
17E haliu mai kou pepeiao a e hoolohe i na olelo a ka poe naauao, A e imi iho kou naau i ko'u ike.
18For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips.
18No ka mea, he oluolu no ke malama oe ia mau mea iloko ou, E ku pono no hoi i kou mau lehelehe;
19I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in the LORD.
19I paulele oe ia Iehova, Oia ka'u i hoike ai ia oe, ia oe no i keia la,
20Haven’t I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge,
20Aole anei i palapala aku au ia oe i na maikai, Ma na oleloao a me ka ike?
21To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you?
21I hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka oiaio o ka olelo pololei, I hai pololei aku oe i ka poe i hoounaia mai ia oe.
22Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;
22Mai kaili wale oe i ka ka mea ilihune no kona ilihune ana; Aole hoi e hookaumaha i ka mea nele ma kahi o ka ipuka:
23for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.
23No ka mea, na Iehova e hooponopono no lakou, E hao mai oia i ka uhane o ka poe i hao aku ia lakou.
24Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man. Don’t associate with one who harbors anger,
24Mai hoolauna aku oe me ka mea huhu, A, me ke kanaka inaina hoi, mai hele pu oe;
25lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul.
25O ao iho oe i kona mau aoao, A loaa i kou uhane ka hihia.
26Don’t you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts.
26Mai hui ae oe me ka poe pai aku i ka lima; Aole hoi me ka poe panai no ka aie:
27If you don’t have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
27Ina aole au mea e hookaa aku ai, No ke aha la e laweia aku ai kou wahi moe mailalo aku ou?
28Don’t move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up.
28Mai honeenee oe i na mokuna aina kahiko, Na mea a kou poe kupuna i hoonoho ai.
29Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men.
29Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka miki ma kana hana? E ku no ia imua o na'lii, Aole oia e ku imua o ka poe naaupo.
