Solomona 10
1 O KE keiki akamai, hoohauoli mai oia i kona makuakane; A o ke keiki lapuwale, hoouluhua mai oia i kona makuwahine.
A wise son makes [his] father glad: but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.
2 O ka waiwai i loaa hewa mai, aole he mea ia e pomaikai ai; Aka, o ka pono, oia ka i hoopakele i ka make.
Treasures shall not profit the lawless: but righteousness shall deliver from death.
3 Aole e waiho mai o Iehova i ka uhane o ka mea pono a pololi; Aka, hoole no ia i ka makemake o ka poe hewa.
The Lord will not famish a righteous soul: but he will overthrow the life of the ungodly.
4 O ka lima hoopalaleha, he mea ia e ilihune ai; Aka, o ka lima hooikaika mau i ka hana, oia ka mea e waiwai ai.
Poverty brings a man low: but the hands of the vigorous make rich. A son who is instructed shall be wise, and shall use the fool for a servant.
5 O ka mea hooiliili i ke kau, he keiki naauao ia; O ka mea hiamoe i ka wa e ohi ai, he keiki hoohilahila ia.
A wise son is saved from heat: but a lawless son is blighted of the winds in harvest.
6 O na mea e pomaikai ai, aia maluna o ke poo o ka mea pono; Aka, ma ka waha o ka poe hewa i hunaia'i ka ino.
The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the just: but untimely grief shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
7 O ka hoomanao ana i ka mea hoopono, he mea hauoli ia; A o ka inoa o ka poe hewa, E palakahuki ia.
The memory of the just is praised; but the name of the ungodly [man] is extinguished.
8 O ka mea i akamai ka naau, e hoopaa oia i na kauoha; Aka, o ka mea i lapuwale na lehelehe, e hina oia.
A wise man in heart will receive commandments; but he that is unguarded in his lips shall be overthrown in his perverseness.
9 O ka mea hele ma ka pololei, hele paa pono no ia; A o ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e ikeia oia.
He that walks simply, walks confidently; but he that perverts his ways shall be known.
10 O ka mea i imo ka maka, hoeha mai oia; O ka mea i lapuwale na lehelehe, e hina oia.
He that winks with his eyes deceitfully, procures griefs for men; but he that reproves boldly is a peacemaker.
11 He punawai hoola ka waha o ka mea hoopono; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa i hunaia'i ka ino.
[There is] a fountain of life in the hand of a righteous man; but destruction shall cover the mouth of the ungodly.
12 Hookonokono ka inaina i ka hakaka; Aka, uhi mai no ke aloha i na hewa a pau.
Hatred stirs up strife; but affection covers all that do not love strife.
13 Ma na lehelehe o ka mea naauao i loaa'i ke akamai; Aka, o ka laau hahau, no ke kua ia o ka mea manao ole.
He that brings forth wisdom from his lips smites the fool with a rod.
14 Hoopaa ka poe akamai i ka ike; A o ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, kokoke ia i ka make.
The wise will hide discretion; but the mouth of the hasty draws near to ruin.
15 O ka waiwai o ka mea waiwai, oia kona kulanakauhale paa; O ka poino o ka poe ilihune, o ko lakou nele no ia.
The wealth of rich men is a strong city; but poverty is the ruin of the ungodly.
16 O ka hana a ka mea pono, pili no ia i ke ola; O ka hua o ka mea hewa, pili no ia i ka make.
The works of the righteous produce life; but the fruits of the ungodly [produce] sins.
17 Ma ka aoao o ke ola ka mea i malama i ke ao ana mai; O ka mea i pale ae i ke ao ana, ua hana lapuwale oia.
Instruction keeps the right ways of life; but instruction unchastened goes astray.
18 O ka mea huna i ka huhu me na lehelehe wahahee, A ahiahi wale aku, oia ka lapuwale.
Righteous lips cover enmity; but they that utter railings are most foolish.
19 I ka nui o na huaolelo, aole loa e ole ka hewa; O ka mea hamau i kona mau lehelehe, e naauao no ia.
By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin; but if you refrain your lips you will be prudent.
20 O ke elelo o ka mea pono, he kala maikai ia; O ka naau o ka poe hewa, he wahi mea iki wale no ia.
The tongue of the just is tried silver; but the heart of the ungodly shall fail.
21 O na lehelehe o ka mea pono, hanai no i na mea he nui; O ka poe lapuwale, no ka noonoo ole e make ana lakou.
The lips of the righteous know sublime [truths]: but the foolish die in lack.
22 O ka hoomaikai o Iehova, oia ka mea e waiwai ai, Aole hoi mea e eha ai ka manao malaila.
The blessing of the Lord is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches [him], and grief of heart shall not be added to [it].
23 Ua akaaka ka mea lapuwale, ke hana kolohe; O ke akamai, na ke kanaka ike no ia.
A fool does mischief in sport; but wisdom brings forth prudence for a man.
24 O ka weliweli o ka mea hewa, e hookoia auanei ia maluna ona; O ka manaolana o ka mea pono, e hooiaioia mai ia nona.
The ungodly is engulfed in destruction; but the desire of the righteous is acceptable.
25 E like me ka holo ana aku o ka puahiohio, pela ka mea hewa, aole ia; Aka, o ka mea pono, na onipaa ia a mau loa no.
When the storm passes by, the ungodly vanishes away; but the righteous turns aside and escapes for ever.
26 E like me ka vinega i na niho, A me ka uahi i na maka, Pela ka mea molowa i ka poe nana ia e hoounauna aku.
As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so iniquity hurts those that practise it.
27 O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka mea e nui ai na la; O na makahiki o ka poe hewa, e hoopokoleia.
The fear of the Lord adds [length] of days: but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
28 O ka manaolana o ka poe pono, he hauoli ia; O ka manaolana o ka poe hewa, e pio no ia.
Joy rests long with the righteous: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
29 O ka aoao o Iehova, o ka mea ia i ikaika ai ka mea pono; O ka make hoi ia i ka poe hana hewa.
The fear of the Lord is a strong hold of the saints: but ruin [comes] to them that work wickedness.
30 E mau ana ka mea pono, aole ia e naue ae; O ka poe hewa, aole no lakou ka honua.
The righteous shall never fail: but the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
31 O ka waha o ka mea pono, hoike mai ia i ka naauao; A o ke elelo hoinoino, e okiia ae.
The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: but the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
32 O na lehelehe o ka mea pono, ua hoikeike i ka mea oluolu; A o ka waha o ka poe hewa i ka inoino.
The lips of just men drop grace: but the mouth of the ungodly is perverse.
