Proverbs 6
1 My son, if thou have become surety for thy neighbor, if thou have struck thy hands for a stranger,
E KUU keiki, ina e hoohiki oe e panai no kou hoalauna, Ina i pai kou lima me ka malihini,
2 thou are snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth.
A i puni oe i ka olelo a kou waha, A i punihei oe i ka olelo a kou waha.
3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, since thou have come into the hand of thy neighbor. Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor.
Ano la, e kuu keiki, e hana oe i keia, i pakele. I kou lilo ana i ka lima o kou hoalauna: O hele, e hoohaabaa ia oe iho, e hoolaulea i kou hoalauna.
4 Do not give sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
Mai haawi i ka hiamoe i kou mau maka, Aole hoi e pipili kou mau lihilihi:
5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
E hemo aku oe me he dia la mailoko ae o ka lima, A e like hoi me ka manu mai ka lima ae o ke kuhea manu.
6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard. Consider her ways, and be wise.
E ka mea hiamoe, e hele oe i ka anonanona, E nana i kona aoao a e hoonaauao iho:
7 Which, having no chief, overseer, or ruler,
Aohe alii ia ia, Aole haku, aole hoi lunakanawai;
8 provides her bread in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest.
Hoahu no oia i kana ai i ke kau, I ka wa e ohi ai, hoiliili oia i kana mea ai.
9 How long will thou sleep, O sluggard? When will thou arise out of thy sleep?
E ka mea hiamoe, pehea ka loibi o kou hiamoe ana? Ahea la oe e ala mai ai mai kou hiamoe ana mai?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep,
He moe iki ae, he hiamoe iki ae, He pelu hou iki ae i ka lima a hiamoe:
11 so thy poverty shall come as a robber, and thy want as an armed man.
A e hiki mai kou ilihune me he kanaka hele la, A me kou nele e like me ke kanaka kaua.
12 A worthless person, a man of iniquity, is he who walks with a perverse mouth,
O ke kanaka aia, o ke kanaka hewa, Hele no oia me ka waha hoopunipuni.
13 who winks with his eyes, who speaks with his feet, who makes signs with his fingers,
Iimo oia me ka maka, ao aku oia me ka wawae, Kuhikuhi oia me kona manamanalima;
14 in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who sows discord.
He kolohe no ma kona naau, Noonoo ino oia i na la a pau, Hookonokono oia i ka hakaka.
15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly. Suddenly he shall be broken, and that without remedy.
Nolaila, e loohia koke mai oia e ka make; E haihai koke ia oia, aole mea nana e hoola,
16 There are six things which Jehovah hates, yea, seven which are an abomination to him:
O keia mau mea eono, he mau mea e inaina mai ai o Iehova; Ehiku hoi e hoopailua ai o kona naau.
17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
O na maka kiekie, o ke elelo wahahee, A me na lima hookahe koko hala ole,
18 a heart that devises wicked purposes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,
O ka naau e imi ana i na manao kolohe, A me na wawae e holo kiki ana i ka hewa,
19 a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
O ka mea hoike hoopunipuni e hana ana i ka wahahee, A me ka mea hookonokono i ka hakaka mawaena o na hoahanau.
20 My son, keep the commandment of thy father, and do not forsake the law of thy mother.
E kuu keiki, e malama oe i ke kanoha a kou makuakane, Mai haalele hoi i ke kanawai o kon makuwahine.
21 Bind them continually upon thy heart. Tie them about thy neck.
E hawele mau oe ia mau mea ma kou naau, E nakii oe ia mau mea ma kou a-i.
22 When thou walk, it shall lead thee. When thou sleep, it shall watch over thee. And when thou awake, it shall talk with thee.
I kou hele ana, ea, e kai aku ia ia oe; I kou moe ana e kiai oia maluna ou; I kou ala ana iluna, oia ke kamailio pu me oe.
23 For the commandment is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,
No ka mea, he kukui ke kauoha, He malamalama ke kanawai, O ka aoao o ke ola oia ke ao ana e naauao ai:
24 to keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the stranger's tongue.
I malamaia oe i ka wahine ino, I ka malihini i hoomalimali me kona elelo.
25 Do not lust after her beauty in thy heart, nor let her take thee with her eyelids.
Mai kuko aku i kona maikai maloko o kou naau, Aole hoi e puniheiia e kona mau lihilihi.
26 For the price of a harlot is as much as a piece of bread, but the adulteress hunts for the precious life.
No ka mea, no ka wahine hookamakama, E nele ke kanaka a i ka apana ai; Hoohalua no ka wahine moe kolohe i ka uhane i minaminaia.
27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
E lawe anei ke kanaka i ke ahi ma kona poli, Aole hoi e wela kona kapa?
28 Or can a man walk upon hot coals, and his feet not be scorched?
Ina o hele ke kanaka ma na nanahu e aa ana, Aole anei e wela kona kapuwai?
29 So is he who goes in to his neighbor's wife. Whoever touches her shall not be unpunished.
Pela ka mea e komo ae ana i ka wahine a kona hoalauna; Aole e aponoia na mea hoopa ia ia.
30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry.
Aole i hoowahawahaia ka aihue i kona aihue ana, Ina he mea ia e maona ai kona pololi.
31 Yet if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold. He shall give all the substance of his house.
Aka, i loaa oia, e uku pahiku no, E haawi oia i ka waiwai a pau o kona hale.
32 He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who would destroy his own soul does it.
O ka mea moe kolohe me ka wahine, aole ona naauao; O ka make o kona uhane kana i hana'i.
33 Wounds and dishonor he shall get, and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
E loaa ia ia ka eha a me ka hoowahawahaia mai. Aole hoi o holoiia kona mea e hilahila ai.
34 For jealousy is a man's fury, and he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
No ka mea, o ka lili, oia ko ke kanaka mea e ukiuki ai; Aole oia e hoopakele i kona la e hoopai aku ai.
35 He will not regard any ransom, nor will he be satisfied, though thou give many gifts.
Aole oia e manao mai i ka uku; Aole hoi oia o oluolu, ke haawi mai oe i na makana he nui.
