Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1Don’t be envious of evil men, neither desire to be with them;
1MAI kuko oe i ka aoao o na kanaka hewa, Aole makemake hoi e noho pu me lakou.
2for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.
2No ka mea, noonoo ae la ko lakou naau i ka mea e make ai, A no ka ino hoi ko lakou lehelehe e kamailio ai.
3Through wisdom a house is built; by understanding it is established;
3Ma ke akamai i kukuluia'i ka hale, Ma ka naauao hoi ia i hookupaaia'i.
4by knowledge the rooms are filled with all rare and beautiful treasure.
4Na ka ike e hoopihaia'i na keena, I na waiwai a pau, he maikai no a he nani hoi.
5A wise man has great power. A knowledgeable man increases strength,
5O ke kanaka naauao, he ikaika no ia; E mahuahua ana no ka ikaika o ke kanaka ike.
6for by wise guidance you wage your war, and victory is in many advisors.
6No ka mea, ma ka noonoo nui oe e kaua aku ai, A he ola no ma ka nui o ka poe kukakuka pu.
7Wisdom is too high for a fool. He doesn’t open his mouth in the gate.
7He kiekie loa ka naauao maluna o ka mea naaupo; Aole e oaka kona waha ma ka ipuka.
8One who plots to do evil will be called a schemer.
8O ka mea noonoo e hana hewa aku, E kapaia'ku ia he mea hana kolohe.
9The schemes of folly are sin. The mocker is detested by men.
9O ka manao lapuwale, he hewa ia; A he hoopailua i na kanaka ka mea hoowahawaha.
10If you falter in the time of trouble, your strength is small.
10Ina pauaho oe i kou la popilikia, Uuku wale no kou ikaika.
11Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!
11Ina e hookaulua oe e hoopakele i ka poe i hana paa ia e make, A me ka poe e kokoke ana i ka pepehiia mai;
12If you say, “Behold, we didn’t know this,” doesn’t he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn’t he know it? Shall he not give to every man according to his work?
12Ina e i ae oe, E, aole makou i ike; Aole anei e noonoo mai ka mea nana e kaupaona na naau? A o ka mea hoi nana e malama i ka uhane, aole anei oia e ike? Aole anei oia e hoopai i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana?
13My son, eat honey, for it is good, the droppings of the honeycomb, which are sweet to your taste;
13E kuu keiki, e ai iho oe i ka meli, no ka mea, he maikai ia; A i ka waihona meli hoi he ono ia i kou waha;
14so you shall know wisdom to be to your soul. If you have found it, then there will be a reward: Your hope will not be cut off.
14Pela hoi ka ike ana i ka naauao i kou uhane; A i loaa ia oe, alaila he hope, A o kou manaolana aole ia e poho.
15Don’t lay in wait, wicked man, against the habitation of the righteous. Don’t destroy his resting place;
15Mai hoohalua, e ke kanaka hewa, ma ka hale o ka mea pono; Mai powa aku oe ma kona wahi e moe ai.
16for a righteous man falls seven times and rises up again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.
16No ka mea, ehiku no ka haule ana o ka mea pono, a ala hou mai no; O ka poe hewa, e hina no lakou iloko o ka poino.
17Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,
17I ka haule ana o kou euemi, mai hauoli oe, I koua hina ana hoi mai olioli kou naau;
18lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
18O ike mai Iehova he hewa ia i kona mau maka, A e hoohuli oia i kona huhu mai ona aku.
19Don’t fret yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious of the wicked;
19Mai ukiuki oe no ka poe hewa, Aole hoi e kuko i ka noho ana o ka poe hana ino.
20for there will be no reward to the evil man. The lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.
20No ka mea, aohe uku maikai no ka mea hewa; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio ana no ia.
21My son, fear the LORD and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious,
21E kuu keiki, e makau aku ia Iehova, a me ke alii; Me ka poe lolelua ka naau, mai launa aku.
22for their calamity will rise suddenly. Who knows what destruction may come from them both?
22No ka mea, e hiki wawe mai ko lakou poino; A o ka make ana o laua a elua, owai ka mea ike aku?
23These also are sayings of the wise: To show partiality in judgment is not good.
23Na ka poe naauao hoi keia mau mea: O ka manao kapakahi ma ka hookolokolo ana, aole i pono ia.
24He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—
24O ka mea olelo aku i ka mea hewa, He pono no oe; E hoino aku no na kanaka ia ia, E hoowahawaha hoi na lahuikanaka ia ia.
25but it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and a rich blessing will come on them.
25Aka, he oluolu ko ka poe i ao aku, E hiki mai hoi ia lakou ka pomaikai io.
26An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.
26E honiia'ku na lehelehe O ka mea olelo aku ma ka pololei.
27Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.
27Muwaho e hoomakaukau ai i kau hana, A e hooponopono nou iho ma ke kula; A mahope iho, e kukula ae i kou hale.
28Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.
28Mai liio hala ole oe i hoike ku e i kou hoanoho; Aole hoi e hoopunipuni me kou mau lehelehe.
29Don’t say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”
29Mai olelo oe, E like me ia i hana mai ai ia'u, pela au e hana aku ai ia ia; E hoopai aku au i ke kanaka e like me kana hana ana.
30I went by the field of the sluggard, by the vineyard of the man void of understanding.
30Ma ke kihapai o ka mea palaualelo i maalo ai au, Ma ka pawaina hoi o ke Kanaka noonoo ole:
31Behold, it was all grown over with thorns. Its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone wall was broken down.
31Aia hoi, ulu paapu ae la ka puakala, Uhi mai la maluna ona na kakalaioa, O kona pa pohaku hoi, ua hiolo iho la ia.
32Then I saw, and considered well. I saw, and received instruction:
32Nana aku la au, halalo iho la ko'u naau; Ike iho la au, a loaa ia'u ke aoia mai.
33a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
33He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i na lima a hiamoe;
34so your poverty will come as a robber and your want as an armed man.
34A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
