Proverbs 14
1 A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish will pull down with her hands that also which is built.
O KA wahine naauao, oia ke kukulu i kona hale; Wawahi iho la ka mea naaupo me kona mau lima.
2 He that walketh in the right way, and feareth God, Cis despised by him that goeth by an infamous way.
O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, oia ka i makau ia Iehova; O ka mea i hookekee i kona aoao, oia ka i hoowahawaha ia ia.
3 In the mouth of a fool is the rod of pride: but the lips of the wise preserve them.
Ma ka waha o ka mea naaupo, he laau hahau ka haaheo; O na lehelehe o ka poe naauao, oia ke malama aku ia lakou.
4 Where there are no oxen, the crib is empty: but where there is much corn, there the strength of the ox is manifest.
I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.
5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a deceitful witness uttereth a lie.
O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: the learning of the wise is easy.
Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
7 Go against a foolish man, and he knoweth not the lips of prudence.
E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
8 The wisdom of a. discreet man is to understand his way: and the imprudence of fools erreth.
O ke akamai o ka mea ike, oia ka hoomaopopo ana i kona aoao; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, oia ka hoopunipuni.
9 A fool will laugh at sin, but among the just grace shall abide.
Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
10 The heart that knoweth the bitterness of his own soul, in his joy the stranger shall not intermeddle.
Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
11 The house of the wicked shall be destroyed: but the tabernacles of the just shall flourish.
O ka hale o ka poe hewa, e hoohioloia; O ka halelewa o ka poe pololei, e paa mau no ia,
12 There is a way which seemeth just to a man: but the ends thereof lead to death.
O kekahi aoao, he pololei ia i kanaka; O kona hope hoi, oia ka aoao o ka make.
13 Laughter shall be mingled with sorrow, and mourning taketh hold of the end of joy.
I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
14 A fool shall be filled with his own ways, and the good man shall be above him.
E hoopihaia auauei ka naau o ka mea hoi hope i kona aoaoiho; A o ke kanaka maikai hoi i kona hua iho.
15 The innocent believeth every word: the discreet man considereth his steps. No good shall come to the deceitful son: but the wise servant shall prosper in his dealings, and his way shall be made straight.
Manaoio no ka mea noonoo ole i na olelo a pau; Aka, o ka mea maalea, nana pono oia i kona hele ana.
16 A wise man feareth and declineth from evil: the fool leapeth over and is confident.
O ka mea naauao, makau no ia, a haalele i ka hewa; O ka mea lapuwale hoi, he haaheo kona a me ka makau ole.
17 The impatient man shall work folly: and the crafty man is hateful.
O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.
18 The childish shall possess folly, and the prudent, shall look for knowledge.
E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poe noonoo ole; E kau hoi ka ike me he lei la maluna o ka poe naauao.
19 The evil shall fall down before the good: and the wicked before the gates of the just.
Kulou ae ka poe hewa imua i ke alo o ka poe maikai; O ka poe aia hoi ma ka ipuka o ka mea pono.
20 The poor man shall be hateful even to his own neighbour: but the friends of the rich are many.
Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour, sinneth: but he that sheweth mercy to the poor, shall be blessed. He that believeth in the Lord, loveth mercy.
O ka mea hoowahawaha i kona hoanoho, ua hewa oia; O ka mea lokomaikai aku i ka mea i nele, pomaikai oia.
22 They err that work evil: but mercy and truth prepare good things.
Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
23 In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.
Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
24 The crown of the wise is their riches: the folly of fools, imprudence.
O ka lei o ka poe akamai, oia ko lakou waiwai; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, he lapuwale wale iho no ia.
25 A faithful witness delivereth souls: and the double dealer uttereth lies.
Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
26 In the fear of the Lord is confidence of strength, and there shall be hope for his children.
Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.
O ka makau ia Iehova, he punawai ola ia, He mea ia e haalele ai i na pahele o ka make.
28 In the multitude of people is the dignity of the king: and in the small number of people the dishonour of the prince.
Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
29 He that is patient, is governed with much wisdom: but he that is impatient, exalteth his folly.
O ka mea uumi i ka huhu, oia ka noonoo nui; O ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhu, oia ke hoike i ka lapuwale.
30 Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh: but envy is the rottenness of the bones.
O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
31 He that oppresseth the poor, upbraideth his Maker: but he that hath pity on the poor, honoureth him.
O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea nele, oia ka i hoowahawaha i ka Mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea malama aku ia ia, oia ke aloha i ka mea ilihune.
32 The wicked man shall be driven out in his wickedness: but the just hath hope in his death.
Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
33 In the heart of the prudent resteth wisdom, and it shall instruct all the ignorant.
Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
34 Justice exalteth a nation: but sin maketh nations miserable.
Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
35 A wise servant is acceptable to the king: he that is good for nothing shall feel his anger.
O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
