Proverbs 19
1 Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
2 Where there is no knowledge of the soul, there is no good: and he that is hasty with his feet shall stumble.
O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
3 The folly of a man supplanteth his seeps: and he fretteth in his mind against God.
O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
4 Riches make many friends: but from the poor man, even they whom he had, depart.
O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
5 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
6 Many honour the person of him that is mighty, and are friends of him that giveth gifts.
Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
7 The brethren of the poor man hate him: moreover also his friends have departed far from him. He that followeth after words only, shall have nothing.
Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
8 But he that possesseth a mind, loveth his own soul, and he that keepeth prudence shall find good things.
O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
9 A false witness shall not be unpunished: and he that speaketh lies, shall perish.
O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
10 Delicacies are not seemly for a fool: nor for a servant to have rule over princes.
Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
11 The learning of a man is known by patience and his glory is to pass over wrongs.
O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
12 As the roaring of a lion, so also is the anger of a king: and his cheerfulness as the dew upon the grass.
He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
13 A foolish son is the grief of his father: and a wrangling wife is like a roof continually dropping through.
He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
14 House and riches are given by parents: but a prudent wife is properly from the Lord.
O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
15 Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.
O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
16 He that keepeth the commandment, keepeth his own soul: but he that neglecteth his own way, shall die.
O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
17 He that hath mercy on the poor, lendeth to the Lord: and he will repay him.
O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
18 Chastise thy son, despair not: but to the killing of him set not thy soul.
E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
19 He that is impatient, shall suffer damage: and when he shall take away he shall add another thing.
O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayst be wise in thy latter end.
E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
21 There are many thoughts in the heart of a man: but the will of the Lord shall stand firm.
Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
22 A needy man is merciful: and better is the poor than the lying man.
O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
23 The fear of the Lord is unto life: and he shall abide in fulness without being visited with evil.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
24 The slothful hideth his hand under his armpit, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth.
Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
25 The wicked man being; scourged, the fool shall be wiser: but if thou rebuke a wise man he will understand discipline.
E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
26 He that afflicteth his father, and chaseth away his mother, is infamous and unhappy.
O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
27 Cease not, O my son, to hear instruction, and be not ignorant of the words of knowledge.
Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
28 An unjust witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity.
I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
29 Judgments are prepared for scorners: and striking hammers for the bodies of fools.
Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
