Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1My son, don’t forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
1E KUU keiki, mai haalele oe i ko'u kanawai, E waiho hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ma kou naau.
2for they will add to you length of days, years of life, and peace.
2No ka mea, oia ka mea e nui ai na la a me na makahiki o kou ola ana, A o ka malu hoi e haawiia ia oe.
3Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3I ole e haalele ia oe ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha; E hawele ia mau mea ma kou a-i; E kakau hoi ma ka papa o ka naau.
4So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
4Pela e loaa'i ka lokomaikai a me ka ike oiaio, Imua o Iehova a me na kanaka.
5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.
5E paulele ia Iehova me kou naau a pau; Mai hilinai hoi ma kou naauao iho.
6In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
6Ma kou aoao a pau ia ia no oe e nana aku ai, A nana no e hoopololei i kou hele ana.
7Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
7Mai hooakamai oe ma kou manao iho; E makau ia Iehova a e haalele i ka hewa.
8It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
8Oia ke ola no kou mau olona, A me ka lolo no kou mau iwi.
9Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase;
9E hoonani ia Iehova ma kou waiwai, A me na hua mua o na mea a pau i loaa'i ia oe:
10so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
10Alaila, e hoopihaia kou waihona waiwai a hu, E hu ae kau mau mea kaomi waina i ka waina hou.
11My son, don’t despise the LORD’s discipline, neither be weary of his correction;
11E kuu keiki, mai hoole oe i ke aoia mai e Iehova; Mai pauaho oe i kona hooponopono ana mai.
12for whom the LORD loves, he corrects, even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights.
12No ka mea, o ka mea a Iehova i aloha'i oia kana i paipai mai. Me he makua la i ke keiki ana i makemake ai.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
13Pomaikai ke kanaka ke loaa ia ia ka naauao, A o ke kanaka hoi i makaukau i ka ike.
14For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
14No ka mea, ua oi aku ka waiwai o ia mea mamua o ke kala, A o ke kuai ana hoi mamua o ke gula.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
15Ua maikai oia mamua o na momi; A o na mea a pau au e makemake ai, aole e liko me ia ka maikai.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
16Aia ma kona lima akau ka loihi o na la; A ma kona lima hema ka waiwai a me ka hanohano.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
17O kona mau aoao he mau aoao oluolu no, Ua pau hoi kona mau alanui i ka maluhia,
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
18Oia ka laau o ke ola no ka poe e hoopaa ana ia ia, Poinaikai hoi ka mea e apo ana ia ia.
19By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
19Ma ke akamuai i hookumu iho ai o Iehova i ka honua; A ma ka ike i kau aku ai i ka lani.
20By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
20Ma kona ike hoi i wawahiia'i na wahi hohonu, A ninini mai no na ao i ka ua.
21My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
21E kuu keiki e, mai huli e aku kou mau maka; E hoopaa i ka naauao a me ka ike.
22so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
22He ola no ia no kou uhane, He hanohano no ia i kou a-i.
23Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won’t stumble.
23Alaila, e hele makau ole oe ma kou ala, A o kou wawae hoi, aole ia e palaha.
24When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes, you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
24I kou moe ana, aole oe e makau; E moe iho no oe, a e oluolu kou hiamoe ana.
25Don’t be afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes;
25Mai weliweli oe i ka mea e makau ai ke hikilele mai, Aole hoi i ka luku ana o ka poe hewa ke hiki mai.
26for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
26No ka mea, o Iehova no kou mea e peulele ai, E malama no oia i kou wawae i ole no e heiia.
27Don’t withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
27Mai aua oe i ka maikai i ka mea e pono ai ia, Ke hiki i kou lima ke hana aku.
28Don’t say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you,” when you have it by you.
28Mai olelo oe i kou hoanoho, O hele oe a hoi mai, apopo e haawi aku au, Ke waiho wale ia mea ia oe.
29Don’t devise evil against your neighbor, since he dwells securely by you.
29Mai imi hala oe i kou hoanoho, No ka mea, ke noho la oia ma ou la me ka maluhia.
30Don’t strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
30Mai hoopaapaa hala ole oe me ke kanaka, Ina aole oia i hana hewa aku ia oe.
31Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
31Mai hoolalike oe me ke kanaka huhu, Mai koho hoi oe i kekahi aoao ona.
32For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
32No ka mea, he mea hoopailua ka aia ia Iehova, O ka poe pololei oia kona poe hoakuka.
33The LORD’s curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
33O ka hoino o Iehova aia ma ka hale o ka mea hewa, Hoopomaikai oia i kahi noho ai o ka poe pono.
34Surely he mocks the mockers, but he gives grace to the humble.
34E hoowahawaha mai oia i ka poe hoowahawaha; E haawi mai oia i ka lokomaikai i ka poe i haahaa ka naau.
35The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
35E ili mai ka hanohano no ka poe naauao; O ka hookiekieia mai o ka poe hewa, he mea hilahila ia.
