Kekahuna 7
1 U A oi aku ka inoa maikai mamua o ka mea poni maikai, a o ka la make mamua o ka la i hanau ai.
A good name is betere than preciouse oynementis; and the dai of deth is betere than the dai of birthe.
2 Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka hele ana i ka hale kanikau mamua o ka hele ana i ka hale ahaaina; no ka mea, malaila ka hopena o na kanaka a pau, a e hoopili ke kanaka ola ia mea i kona naau iho.
It is betere to go to the hous of morenyng, than to the hous of a feeste; for in that hous `of morenyng the ende of alle men is monestid, and a man lyuynge thenkith, what is to comynge.
3 Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka uwe ana mamua o ka akaaka; no ka mea, ma ka inoino o ka maka, e maikai ai ka naau.
Yre is betere than leiyyng; for the soule of a trespassour is amendid bi the heuynesse of cheer.
4 O ka naau o ka mea naauao, aia no ia ma ka hale kanikau; aka hoi, o ka naau o ka mea naaupo, aia no ia ma ka hale paani.
The herte of wise men is where sorewe is; and the herte of foolis is where gladnesse is.
5 Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka lohe ana i ka oleloao a ka poe naauao, mamua o ko ke kanaka lohe ana i ka mele lea a ka poe naaupo.
It is betere to be repreued of a wijs man, than to be disseyued bi the flateryng of foolis;
6 No ka mea, e like me ka paapaaina o na kakalaioa malalo iho o ka ipu hao, pela no ka akaaka ana o ka mea naaupo. He mea lapuwale hoi keia.
for as the sown of thornes brennynge vndur a pot, so is the leiyyng of a fool. But also this is vanyte.
7 No ka mea, o ka hooluhi, oia ka mea e pupule ai ka mea naauao; a o ke kipe he mea ia e lolelua ai ka naau.
Fals chalenge disturblith a wijs man, and it schal leese the strengthe of his herte.
8 Ua oi aku ka maikai o ka hope o kekahi mea mamua o ka hoomaka ana; a o ka mea naau hoomanawanui mamua o ka mea hookiekie.
Forsothe the ende of preyer is betere than the bigynnyng. A pacient man is betere than a proud man.
9 Mai wikiwiki kou naau, e huhu aku; no ka mea, o ka huhu, aia no ia ma ka naau o ka poe naaupo.
Be thou not swift to be wrooth; for ire restith in the bosum of a fool.
10 Mai olelo ae oe, No ke aha la i oi aku ai ka maikai o na la kahiko mamua o keia mau la? No ka mea, aole i naauao kau ninau ana mai pela.
Seie thou not, What gessist thou is of cause, that the formere tymes weren betere than ben now? for whi siche axyng is fonned.
11 Ua maikai ka naauao me ka waiwai hooili, oia hoi ka mea e pono ai na mea i ike i ka la.
Forsothe wisdom with richessis is more profitable, and profitith more to men seynge the sunne.
12 No ka mea, o ka naauao, oia ka mea e malu ai, a o ke kala oia hoi kekahi mea e malu ai; aka, eia ka maikai o ka ike, o ka naauao, oia ka mea e ola'i ka poe nona ia.
For as wisdom defendith, so money defendith; but lernyng and wisdom hath this more, that tho yyuen lijf to `her weldere.
13 E noonoo oe i ka hana a ke Akua i hana'i; no ka mea, owai ka mea e hiki ai ke hoopololei i ka mea ana i hana ai a kekee?
Biholde thou the werkis of God, that no man may amende hym, whom God hath dispisid.
14 I ka la pomaikai e olioli ai oe, a i ka la popilikia e noonoo ai. Ua hoonoho ke Akua i kekahi e kupono i kekahi, i loaa ole ai i ke kanaka kekahi mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona.
In a good day vse thou goodis, and bifore eschewe thou an yuel day; for God made so this dai as that dai, that a man fynde not iust playnyngis ayens hym.
15 Ua ike au i keia mau mea a pau i na la o kou noho lapuwale ana; aia no ke kanaka hoopono e make ana i kona pono iho; a eia no ka mea hewa e hooloihi ana i kona mau la iloko o kona hewa.
Also Y siy these thingis in the daies of my natyuyte; a iust man perischith in his riytfulnesse, and a wickid man lyueth myche tyme in his malice.
16 Mai hoonui i koa pono, aole hoi oe e hoomahuahua i kou naauao; no ke aha la oe e hoomake ia oe iho?
Nyle thou be iust myche, nether vndurstonde thou more than is nedeful; lest thou be astonyed.
17 Mai hoonui oe i kou hewa, aole hoi e noho naaupo; no ke aha la oe e make ai mamua o kou manawa?
Do thou not wickidli myche, and nyle thou be a fool; lest thou die in a tyme not thin.
18 He mea maikai nou e lalau i kela, aole hoi e hookuu i keia mai kou lima aku; no ka mea o ka mea i makau i ke Akua, oia ka mea e puka, mai ia mau mea a pau.
It is good, that thou susteyne a iust man; but also withdrawe thou not thin hond from hym; for he that dredith God, is not necligent of ony thing.
19 O ka naauao ka mea e ikaika ai ka mea naauao mamua o na kanaka koikoi he umi iloko o ke kulanakauhale.
Wisdom hath coumfortid a wise man, ouer ten pryncis of a citee.
20 No ka mea, aohe kanaka pono ma ka honua, nana e hana maikai, me ka hana hewa ole.
Forsothe no iust man is in erthe, that doith good, and synneth not.
21 Mai manao hoi oe i na olelo a pau loa i oleloia, o lohe auanei oe i kau kauwa e hoino ana ia oe.
But also yyue thou not thin herte to alle wordis, that ben seid; lest perauenture thou here thi seruaunt cursynge thee;
22 No ka mea, ua ike pinepine kou naau iho, ua hoino oe ia hai.
for thi conscience woot, that also thou hast cursid ofte othere men.
23 Ua hoao iho la au i keia mau mea a pau me ka naauao. I iho la au, e lilo auanei au i kanaka naauao, aka hoi, na mamao loa ia mea mai o'u aku.
I asayede alle thingis in wisdom; Y seide, I schal be maad wijs, and it yede awei ferthere fro me, myche more than it was;
24 O ka mea ma kahi loihi aku, a hohonu loa hoi, owai ka mea e loaa'i?
and the depthe is hiy, who schal fynde it?
25 Ua haawi au i ko'u naau e ike, a e huli, a e imi hoi i ka naauao, a me ke ano [o na mea, ] a e ike hoi i ka hewa o ka naaupo, a o ka noho lapuwale, a me ka uhauha.
I cumpasside alle thingis in my soule, to kunne, and biholde, and seke wisdom and resoun, and to knowe the wickidnesse of a fool, and the errour of vnprudent men.
26 A na loaa mai ia'u keia, o ka wahine nona ka naau e hoohihia ai, a e hoohei ai, nona hoi na lima e paa ai me he kaula la, ua oi aku kona awaawa mamua o ka make; o ka mea maikai imua o ke Akua e pakele no ia mai ona aku la, aka, o ka mea hewa, e hihia auanei oia ia ia.
And Y foond a womman bitterere than deth, which is the snare of hunteris, and hir herte is a net, and hir hondis ben boondis; he that plesith God schal ascape hir, but he that is a synnere, schal be takun of hir.
27 Aia hoi! ua loaa ia'u keia, wahi a ke kahuna, ma ka helu pakahi ana no e loaa mai ai ka huina.
Lo! Y foond this, seide Ecclesiastes, oon and other, that Y schulde fynde resoun, which my soule sekith yit;
28 Ka mea a ko'u uhane i imi ai, aole nae i loaa; hookahi kanaka mawaena o kekahi tausani ua loaa mai ia'u; aka, o ka wahine mawaena o keia poe a pau loa, aole i loaa.
and Y foond not. I foond o man of a thousynde; Y foond not a womman of alle.
29 Aia hoi, eia ka mea i loaa mai ia'u: Hana iho la ke Akua i ke kanaka i mea pololei, aka hoi, ua imi oia i na mea kekee he nui wale.
I foond this oonli, that God made a man riytful; and he medlide hym silf with questiouns with out noumbre. Who is siche as a wijs man? and who knowith the expownyng of a word?
