Solomona 15
1 O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
A soft answer turneth away fury; but a mortifying word stirreth up anger.
2 O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge acceptable; but the mouth of fools sputtereth out folly.
3 Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
In every place are the eyes of the Lord, looking on the bad and the good.
4 O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
A healing [word] of the tongue is a tree of life; but perverseness therein is a breach to the spirit.
5 Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
A fool contemneth the correction of his father; but he that observeth admonition will become prudent.
6 O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
In the house of the righteous there is much treasure; but in the income of the wicked is trouble.
7 O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
The lips of the wise scatter knowledge; but the heart of fools is not reliable.
8 O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination of the Lord: but, the prayer of the upright [obtaineth] his favor.
9 He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
An abomination of the Lord is the way of the wicked; but him that pursueth righteousness will he love.
10 O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
An evil correction is [destined] for him that forsaketh the [right] path; he that hateth admonition will die.
11 O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka. (Sheol h7585)
The nether world and corruption are open before the Lord: how much more then the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
12 Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
A scorner loveth not that one should admonish him: unto the wise doth he not go.
13 Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
A merry heart cheereth up the countenance; but when the heart feeleth pain the spirit is depressed.
14 O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
The heart of the man of understanding seeketh knowledge; but the mouth of fools feedeth on folly.
15 Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
All the days of the afflicted are evil; but he that is of a cheerful heart hath a continual feast.
16 Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and confusion therewith.
17 Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
Better is an allowance of herbs when love is there, than a stall-fed ox and hatred therewith.
18 O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
A man of fury stirreth up strife; but he that is slow to anger assuageth contention.
19 O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
The way of the slothful man is like a hedge of thorns; but the path of the upright is a levelled [road].
20 O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
A wise son causeth his father to rejoice; but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
21 O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
Folly is joy to him that is void of sense; but a man of understanding walketh straight forward.
22 Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
Plans are frustrated without consultation; but through a multitude of counsellors canst thou maintain thyself.
23 He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth; and a word [spoken] at the proper time, how good is it!
24 O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
The path of life [leadeth] upward for the intelligent, in order that he may avoid the nether world beneath. (Sheol h7585)
25 O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
The Lord, will tear down the house of the proud; but he will set up firmly the boundary [-stone] of the widow.
26 He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
An abomination of the Lord are the thoughts of the bad man; but pleasant speeches are pure [before him].
27 O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
He that is greedy after gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts will live.
28 O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
The heart of the righteous reflecteth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked sputtereth out evil things.
29 Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
The Lord is far from the wicked; but the prayer of the righteous doth he hear.
30 O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
[What is pleasant to] the light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: a good report giveth marrow to the bones.
31 O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
The ear that heareth the admonition of life will ever abide in the midst of the wise.
32 O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
He that rejecteth correction despiseth his own soul; but he that heareth admonition acquireth intelligence.
33 O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
The fear of the Lord is the correction for wisdom; and before honor there must come humility.
