Solomona 19
1 MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
Better [is] the poor that walketh in his integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool.
2 O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
Also, [that] the soul [be] without knowledge, [it is] not good; and he that hasteth with [his] feet sinneth.
3 O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
Wealth maketh many friends; but the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5 O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
Many will entreat the favor of the prince: and every man [is] a friend to him that giveth gifts.
7 Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him? he pursueth [them with] words, [yet] they [are] wanting [to him].
8 O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and [he that] speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.
11 O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and [it is] his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
The king's wrath [is] as the roaring of a lion; but his favor [is] as dew upon the grass.
13 He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
A foolish son [is] the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping.
14 O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
House and riches [are] the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife [is] from the LORD.
15 O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
16 O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; [but] he that despiseth his ways shall die.
17 O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth to the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
18 E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.
19 O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver [him], yet thou must do it again.
20 E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
21 Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
[There are] many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man [is] better than a liar.
23 O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
The fear of the LORD [tendeth] to life: and [he that hath it] shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.
24 Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
A slothful [man] hideth his hand in [his] bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.
25 E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
Smite a scorner and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, [and] he will understand knowledge.
26 O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
He that wasteth [his] father, [and] chaseth away [his] mother, [is] a son that causeth shame, and bringeth reproach.
27 Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
Cease, my son, to hear the instruction [that causeth] to err from the words of knowledge.
28 I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
29 Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools.
