Proverbs 27
1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what the future day may bring.
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 praise you, and not your own mouth: an outsider, and not your own 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 is weighty, and sand is burdensome; but the wrath of the foolish is heavier than both.
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 Anger holds no mercy, nor does fury when it erupts. And who can bear the assault of one who has been provoked?
He aloha ole ka inaina, he mea make ka huhu, Owai la hoi e hiki ke ku imua o ka huahua?
5 An open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Maikai ke ao maopopo ana, Mamua o ke aloha i hunaia.
6 The wounds of a loved one are better than the deceitful kisses of a hateful one.
Maikai ka hoehaia mai e ka hoaaloha, He nunui hoi ka honi ana o ka enemi.
7 A sated soul will trample the honeycomb. And a hungry soul will accept even bitter in place of sweet.
Hehi no ka mea maona i ka waihona meli; Aka, i ka mea pololi la, ua ono na mea awaawa a pau.
8 Just like a bird migrating from her nest, so also is a man who abandons his place.
E like me ka manu i auwana ae mai kona punana aku, Pela ke kanaka e auwana ana mai kona wahi aku.
9 Ointment and various perfumes delight the heart. And the good advice 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 dismiss your friend or your father’s friend. And do not enter your brother’s house in the day of your affliction. A close neighbor is better than a distant brother.
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, study wisdom, and rejoice my heart, so that you may be able to respond to the one who reproaches.
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 discerning man, seeing evil, hides himself. The little ones, continuing on, sustain losses.
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 away the garment of him who has vouched for an outsider. And take a pledge from him on behalf of foreigners.
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 Whoever blesses his neighbor with a grand voice, rising in the night, shall be like one who curses.
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 A roof leaking on a cold day, and an argumentative woman, are comparable.
O ke kulu mau ana i ka la ua, A me ka wahine nuku wale, na like.
16 He who would restrain her, he is like one who would grasp the wind, or who would gather together oil with his right hand.
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 sharpens iron, and a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.
Hookala kahi mea hao i kekahi mea hao, Hookala hoi ke kanaka i ka maka o kona hoalauna.
18 Whoever maintains the fig tree shall eat its fruit. And whoever is the keeper of his master shall be glorified.
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 In the manner of faces looking into shining water, so are the hearts of men made manifest to the prudent.
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 In the manner of silver being tested in the refinery, and gold in the furnace, so also is a man tested by the mouth of one who praises. The heart of the iniquitous inquires after evils, but the heart of the righteous inquires after knowledge.
He ipu hoohehee no ke kala, a he kapuahi no ke gula, Pela ke kanaka imua o kona mahaloia mai.
22 Even if you were to crush the foolish with a mortar, as when a pestle strikes over pearled barley, his foolishness would not be taken 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 Be diligent to know the countenance of your cattle, and consider your own flocks,
E ike pono oe i ke ano o kau poe hipa, E nana hoi i ke ano o kau poe holoholona;
24 for you will not always hold this power. But a crown shall be awarded from generation to generation.
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 meadows are open, and the green plants have appeared, and the hay has been collected from the mountains.
Kupu mai ka weuweu, ikea mai ka mauu, A e ohiia ana ka mea ulu o ka mauna.
26 Lambs are for your clothing, and goats are for the price of a field.
O na keikihipa no kou kapa komo, O ka poe kao kane ke kumukuai no ka aina.
27 Let the milk of goats be sufficient for your food, and for the necessities of your household, and for the provisions of your handmaids.
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.
