Proverbs 27
1 Do not make a noise about tomorrow, for you are not certain what a day's outcome may be.
MAI olioli wale oe no ka la apopo, No ka mea, aole oe i ike i ka mea a kekahi la e hoopuka mai ai.
2 Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
Na ka mea e e hoomaikai mai ia oe, aole na kou waha iho; Na ka malihini hoi, aole na kou mau lehelehe iho.
3 A stone has great weight, and sand is crushing; but the wrath of the foolish is of greater weight than these.
Koikoi ka pohaku, kaumaha hoi ke one; Aka, o ka inaina o ka mea naaupo, ua kaumaha ia mamua o ia mau mea elua.
4 Wrath is cruel, and angry feeling an overflowing stream; but who does not give way before envy?
He aloha ole ka inaina, he mea make ka huhu, Owai la hoi e hiki ke ku imua o ka huahua?
5 Better is open protest than love kept secret.
Maikai ke ao maopopo ana, Mamua o ke aloha i hunaia.
6 The wounds of a friend are given in good faith, but the kisses of a hater are false.
Maikai ka hoehaia mai e ka hoaaloha, He nunui hoi ka honi ana o ka enemi.
7 The full man has no use for honey, but to the man in need of food every bitter thing is sweet.
Hehi no ka mea maona i ka waihona meli; Aka, i ka mea pololi la, ua ono na mea awaawa a pau.
8 Like a bird wandering from the place of her eggs is a man wandering from his station.
E like me ka manu i auwana ae mai kona punana aku, Pela ke kanaka e auwana ana mai kona wahi aku.
9 Oil and perfume make glad the heart, and the wise suggestion of a friend is sweet to the soul.
O ka aila a me ka mea ala, hoohauoli ia i ka naau; Hooluolu hoi ka hoaaloha o kekahi mea ma ka olelo oiaio.
10 Do not give up your friend and your father's friend; and do not go into your brother's house in the day of your trouble: better is a neighbour who is near than a brother far off.
O kou hoalauna a me ka hoalauna o kou makuakane, mai haalele oe; Aole hoi e komo aku i ka hale o kou hoahanau i kou manawa popilikia; Maikai ka mea e noho kokoke ana, mamua o ka hoahanau ma kahi loihi aku.
11 My son, be wise and make my heart glad, so that I may give back an answer to him who puts me to shame.
E kuu keiki e, e naauao hoi oe i olioli ko'u naau, I olelo aku au i ka mea hoino mai ia'u.
12 The sharp man sees the evil and takes cover: the simple go straight on and get into trouble.
O ka mea noonoo la, ike e oia mamua i ka poino a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka poe nanea a hihia iho la.
13 Take a man's clothing if he makes himself responsible for a strange man, and get an undertaking from him who gives his word for strange men.
E lawe i ka aahu o ka mea nana e hoopanai no ka malihini, E lawe hoi i uku nona no ka wahine e.
14 He who gives a blessing to his friend with a loud voice, getting up early in the morning, will have it put to his account as a curse.
O ka mea hoomaikai aku i kona hoanoho me ka leo nui, I kona ala ana i ke kakahiaka nui, E lilo ia i mea poino nona.
15 Like an unending dropping on a day of rain is a bitter-tongued woman.
O ke kulu mau ana i ka la ua, A me ka wahine nuku wale, na like.
16 He who keeps secret the secret of his friend, will get himself a name for good faith.
O ka mea hoonalowale i kana, hoonalowale no ia i ka makani, A me ka aila o kona lima akau e pa mai ana.
17 Iron makes iron sharp; so a man makes sharp his friend.
Hookala kahi mea hao i kekahi mea hao, Hookala hoi ke kanaka i ka maka o kona hoalauna.
18 Whoever keeps a fig-tree will have its fruit; and the servant waiting on his master will be honoured.
O ka mea malama i ka laau fiku, oia ke ai i kona hua; O ka mea malama hoi i kona haku e hoonaniia oia.
19 Like face looking at face in water, so are the hearts of men to one another.
Ma ka wai, he helehelena e ku ana i kahi helehelena, Pela hoi ka naau kanaka i kekahi kanaka.
O ka lua a me ka hohonu, aole i piha, A o na maka o ke kanaka aole no e maona. (Sheol h7585)
21 The heating-pot is for silver and the oven-fire for gold, and a man is measured by what he is praised for.
He ipu hoohehee no ke kala, a he kapuahi no ke gula, Pela ke kanaka imua o kona mahaloia mai.
22 Even if a foolish man is crushed with a hammer in a vessel among crushed grain, still his foolish ways will not go from him.
Ina e kui oe i ka mea naaupo ma ka papawiliai, Oia pu me ka ai i ka pohaku kui, Aole loa e hemo ae kona naaupo ana mai ona aku.
23 Take care to have knowledge about the condition of your flocks, looking well after your herds;
E ike pono oe i ke ano o kau poe hipa, E nana hoi i ke ano o kau poe holoholona;
24 For wealth is not for ever, and money does not go on for all generations.
No ka mea, aole e mau ana ka waiwai: O ka papale alii hoi, oia mau anei ia i na hanauna a pau?
25 The grass comes up and the young grass is seen, and the mountain plants are got in.
Kupu mai ka weuweu, ikea mai ka mauu, A e ohiia ana ka mea ulu o ka mauna.
26 The lambs are for your clothing, and the he-goats make the value of a field:
O na keikihipa no kou kapa komo, O ka poe kao kane ke kumukuai no ka aina.
27 There will be goats' milk enough for your food, and for the support of your servant-girls.
A e nui ka waiu kao no kau ai ana, No ka ai ana hoi o ko ka hale ou, A he ola no kou poe kauwawahine.
