Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1My son, keep my words. Lay up my commandments within you.
1E KUU keiki e, e malama oe i ka'u mau olelo, E waiho pu hoi i ka'u kauoha me oe.
2Keep my commandments and live! Guard my teaching as the apple of your eye.
2E malama oe i ka'u kauoha i ola oe, A me ko'u kanawai hoi, e like me ke kii onohi o kou mau maka.
3Bind them on your fingers. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
3E hawele oe ia mau mea ma kou mau manamanalima, E kakau hoi ia mau mea ma ka papa o kou naau.
4Tell wisdom, “You are my sister.” Call understanding your relative,
4E i ae oe i ka naauao, O oe no ko'u kaikuwahine; E kapa aku oe i ka ike, he hoalauna:
5that they may keep you from the strange woman, from the foreigner who flatters with her words.
5I malamaia oe i ka wahine e, I ka malihini hoi i hoomalimali mai me kana olelo.
6For at the window of my house, I looked out through my lattice.
6No ka mea, ma ka puka o ko'u hale, Ma ko'u puka makani, nana aku la au;
7I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,
7Ike iho la au iwaena o ka poe noonoo ole, Ike iho la hoi au mawaena o ka poe opiopio, I kekahi kanaka ui manao ole.
8passing through the street near her corner, he went the way to her house,
8Hele ae la ia ma ke ala e kokoke ana i kona huina, Hele ae la oia ma ke kuamoo e hiki aku ai i kona hale;
9in the twilight, in the evening of the day, in the middle of the night and in the darkness.
9I ke ahiahi, i ka napoo ana o ka la, I ke aumoe, i ka poeleele;
10Behold, there a woman met him with the attire of a prostitute, and with crafty intent.
10Aia hoi, halawai pu me ia kekahi wahine, Ua kahiko hookamakama ia; Ua maalea kona naau.
11She is loud and defiant. Her feet don’t stay in her house.
11He walaau kona a me ka hoolohe ole, Aole noho kona mau wawae ma kona hale iho.
12Now she is in the streets, now in the squares, and lurking at every corner.
12I kekahi wa mawaho oia, I kekahi wa ae ma ke alanui, A hoohalua oia ma na huina a pau.)
13So she caught him, and kissed him. With an impudent face she said to him:
13Apo iho la kela ia ia a honi iho la, a Me ka maka hilahila ole, i aku la ia ia,
14“Sacrifices of peace offerings are with me. Today I have paid my vows.
14He mau mohai aloha ko'u; I keia la no, mohai aku la au i ka'u mea i hoohiki ai
15Therefore I came out to meet you, to diligently seek your face, and I have found you.
15Nolaila, i hele mai nei au e halawai me oe, E imi hoi ia oe, a ua loaa iho nei.
16I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, with striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.
16Hohola iho la au i ko'u wahi moe me ke kapa, Me ke kapa onionio hoi mai Aigapita mai
17I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
17Kopipi iho la au i ko'u wahi moe I ka mura, a me ka aloe, a me ke kinamona.
18Come, let’s take our fill of loving until the morning. Let’s solace ourselves with loving.
18Ina kaua i maona i ke aloha a hiki i kakahiaka, E lealea kaua i ke aloha.
19For my husband isn’t at home. He has gone on a long journey.
19No ka mea, o ke kane, aole ia ma kona hale, Ua hele oia ma kahi loihi e aku.
20He has taken a bag of money with him. He will come home at the full moon.”
20Lawe oia i ka eke kala ma kona lima, A piha ka mahina, alaila, e hoi mai oia i kona hale.
21With persuasive words, she led him astray. With the flattering of her lips, she seduced him.
21Ua paa kela i ka nui o kana olelo maalea; Ua lilo hoi oia i ka malimali ana o kona mau leheiehe.
22He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose.
22Ukali koke oia mahope ona, E like me ka hele ana o ka bipi i kona wahi e maka ai; E like hoi me ka naaopo i hoopaiia mai ma ka laau kupee;
23Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.
23A o aku la ka pua i kona ake, E like me ka lele ana o ka manu i ke pahele, Aole ona ike no kona oia ia.
24Now therefore, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to the words of my mouth.
24Ano la, e na keiki, e hoolohe mai ia'u. E maliu mai oukou i ka olelo a ko'u waha.
25Don’t let your heart turn to her ways. Don’t go astray in her paths,
25Mai huli ae kou naau ma kona aoao; Mai hele hewa oe ma kona alanui.
26for she has thrown down many wounded. Yes, all her slain are a mighty army.
26No ka mea, manomano ka poe i hina ia ia me ka eha, Na mea ikaika hoi, ua pau ia ia i ka make.
27Her house is the way to Sheol, going down to the rooms of death.
27Ma kona hale ke ala e hiki ai i ka po, E iho ana ilalo i ka make.
