Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1My son, if you have become collateral for your neighbor, if you have struck your hands in pledge for a stranger,
1E KUU keiki, ina e hoohiki oe e panai no kou hoalauna, Ina i pai kou lima me ka malihini,
2you are trapped by the words of your mouth; you are ensnared with the words of your mouth.
2A i puni oe i ka olelo a kou waha, A i punihei oe i ka olelo a kou waha.
3Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.
3Ano la, e kuu keiki, e hana oe i keia, i pakele. I kou lilo ana i ka lima o kou hoalauna: O hele, e hoohaabaa ia oe iho, e hoolaulea i kou hoalauna.
4Give no sleep to your eyes, nor slumber to your eyelids.
4Mai haawi i ka hiamoe i kou mau maka, Aole hoi e pipili kou mau lihilihi:
5Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
5E hemo aku oe me he dia la mailoko ae o ka lima, A e like hoi me ka manu mai ka lima ae o ke kuhea manu.
6Go to the ant, you sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise;
6E ka mea hiamoe, e hele oe i ka anonanona, E nana i kona aoao a e hoonaauao iho:
7which having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
7Aohe alii ia ia, Aole haku, aole hoi lunakanawai;
8provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
8Hoahu no oia i kana ai i ke kau, I ka wa e ohi ai, hoiliili oia i kana mea ai.
9How long will you sleep, sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep?
9E ka mea hiamoe, pehea ka loibi o kou hiamoe ana? Ahea la oe e ala mai ai mai kou hiamoe ana mai?
10A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep—
10He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i ka lima a hiamoe:
11so your poverty will come as a robber, and your scarcity as an armed man.
11A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
12A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,
12O ke kanaka aia, o ke kanaka hewa, Hele no oia me ka waha hoopunipuni.
13who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers,
13Iimo oia me ka maka, ao aku oia me ka wawae, Kuhikuhi oia me kona manamanalima;
14in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.
14He kolohe no ma kona naau, Noonoo ino oia i na la a pau, Hookonokono oia i ka hakaka.
15Therefore his calamity will come suddenly. He will be broken suddenly, and that without remedy.
15Nolaila, e loohia koke mai oia e ka make; E haihai koke ia oia, aole mea nana e hoola,
16There are six things which the LORD hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:
16O keia mau mea eono, he mau mea e inaina mai ai o Iehova; Ehiku hoi e hoopailua ai o kona naau.
17arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,
17O na maka kiekie, o ke elelo wahahee, A me na lima hookahe koko hala ole,
18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
18O ka naau e imi ana i na manao kolohe, A me na wawae e holo kiki ana i ka hewa,
19a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
19O ka mea hoike hoopunipuni e hana ana i ka wahahee, A me ka mea hookonokono i ka hakaka mawaena o na hoahanau.
20My son, keep your father’s commandment, and don’t forsake your mother’s teaching.
20E kuu keiki, e malama oe i ke kanoha a kou makuakane, Mai haalele hoi i ke kanawai o kon makuwahine.
21Bind them continually on your heart. Tie them around your neck.
21E hawele mau oe ia mau mea ma kou naau, E nakii oe ia mau mea ma kou a-i.
22When you walk, it will lead you. When you sleep, it will watch over you. When you awake, it will talk with you.
22I kou hele ana, ea, e kai aku ia ia oe; I kou moe ana e kiai oia maluna ou; I kou ala ana iluna, oia ke kamailio pu me oe.
23For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light. Reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
23No ka mea, he kukui ke kauoha, He malamalama ke kanawai, O ka aoao o ke ola oia ke ao ana e naauao ai:
24to keep you from the immoral woman, from the flattery of the wayward wife’s tongue.
24I malamaia oe i ka wahine ino, I ka malihini i hoomalimali me kona elelo.
25Don’t lust after her beauty in your heart, neither let her captivate you with her eyelids.
25Mai kuko aku i kona maikai maloko o kou naau, Aole hoi e puniheiia e kona mau lihilihi.
26For a prostitute reduces you to a piece of bread. The adulteress hunts for your precious life.
26No ka mea, no ka wahine hookamakama, E nele ke kanaka a i ka apana ai; Hoohalua no ka wahine moe kolohe i ka uhane i minaminaia.
27Can a man scoop fire into his lap, and his clothes not be burned?
27E lawe anei ke kanaka i ke ahi ma kona poli, Aole hoi e wela kona kapa?
28Or can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
28Ina o hele ke kanaka ma na nanahu e aa ana, Aole anei e wela kona kapuwai?
29So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s wife. Whoever touches her will not be unpunished.
29Pela ka mea e komo ae ana i ka wahine a kona hoalauna; Aole e aponoia na mea hoopa ia ia.
30Men don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry,
30Aole i hoowahawahaia ka aihue i kona aihue ana, Ina he mea ia e maona ai kona pololi.
31but if he is found, he shall restore seven times. He shall give all the wealth of his house.
31Aka, i loaa oia, e uku pahiku no, E haawi oia i ka waiwai a pau o kona hale.
32He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul.
32O ka mea moe kolohe me ka wahine, aole ona naauao; O ka make o kona uhane kana i hana'i.
33He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away.
33E loaa ia ia ka eha a me ka hoowahawahaia mai. Aole hoi o holoiia kona mea e hilahila ai.
34For jealousy arouses the fury of the husband. He won’t spare in the day of vengeance.
34No ka mea, o ka lili, oia ko ke kanaka mea e ukiuki ai; Aole oia e hoopakele i kona la e hoopai aku ai.
35He won’t regard any ransom, neither will he rest content, though you give many gifts.
35Aole oia e manao mai i ka uku; Aole hoi oia o oluolu, ke haawi mai oe i na makana he nui.
