Solomona 11
1 O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
Balances of deceit are an abomination of the Lord; but a full weight [obtaineth] his favor.
2 A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
When pride cometh, then cometh disgrace; but with the modest there is wisdom.
3 O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
The integrity of the upright guideth them; but the cunning of the treacherous destroyeth them.
4 O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
Wealth cannot profit on the day of wrath; but righteousness deliver from death.
5 O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
The righteousness of the perfect maketh even his way; but by his own wickedness will the wicked fall.
6 Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
The righteousness of the upright will deliver them; but through their own sinful desires are the treacherous caught.
7 I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
When a wicked man dieth, [his] hope vanisheth; and the expectation of his children is lost.
8 Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
The righteous is delivered out of distress, and the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
With his mouth doth the hypocrite destroy his neighbor; but through knowledge are the righteous delivered.
10 I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
When it goeth well with the righteous, the town rejoiceth loudly: and when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.
11 Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but through the mouth of the wicked it is pulled down.
12 O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
He that despiseth his neighbor is void of sense; but a man of understanding maintaineth silence.
13 O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
He that walketh about as talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.
14 Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
Where there is no wise guidance, a people must fall: but [it will obtain] help through the multitude of counsellors.
15 E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
With evil will he be overwhelmed that is surety for a stranger: but he that hateth giving the hand as pledge is safe.
16 O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
A woman endowed with grace will surely obtain honor; and the powerful will obtain riches.
17 O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
The man of kindness doth good to his own soul; but he that troubleth his own flesh is cruel.
18 O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
The wicked practiseth a work of falsehood; but he that soweth righteousness [obtaineth] the reward of truth.
19 E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
He who is firm in righteousness attaineth to life: and he that pursueth evil [doth it] to his own death.
20 He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
An abomination of the Lord are those of a perverse heart; but his favor is for those who are unblemished in their way.
21 Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
The hand [of God] being against [his] hand, the bad man shall not go unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape.
22 Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
As a golden ring in a swine's snout, so is a handsome woman that hath thrown off discretion.
23 O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
The desire of the righteous is only good: but the hope of the wicked is the wrath [of God].
24 Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
There is a man that scattereth gifts, and yet his wealth is increased: and there is one that withholdeth more than is proper, and still cometh only to want.
25 O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
A beneficent soul will be abundantly gratified; and he that refresheth [others] will be also refreshed himself.
26 O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
Him that withholdeth corn, the people will denounce; but blessing will be heaped upon the head of the one that selleth it.
27 O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
He that diligently searcheth after good seeketh favor; but if one inquireth after evil, it will come unto him.
28 O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
He that trusteth in his riches will surely fall; but the righteous shall grow like the leaves [of a tree].
29 O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
He that troubleth his own house will inherit the wind; and the fool will become the servant to the wise of heart.
30 O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
The fruit of the righteous is of the tree of life, and the wise draweth souls to himself.
31 Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
Behold, the righteous is recompensed on the earth: how much more the wicked and the sinner.
