Proverbs 27
1 Boast not for tomorrow, for thou knowest not what the day to come may bring forth.
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 thee, and not thy own mouth: a stranger, and not thy 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 heavy, and sand weighty: but the anger of a fool is heavier than them 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 hath no mercy, nor fury when it breaketh forth: and who can bear the violence of one provoked?
He aloha ole ka inaina, he mea make ka huhu, Owai la hoi e hiki ke ku imua o ka huahua?
5 Open rebuke is better than hidden love.
Maikai ke ao maopopo ana, Mamua o ke aloha i hunaia.
6 Better are the wounds of a friend, than the deceitful kisses of an enemy.
Maikai ka hoehaia mai e ka hoaaloha, He nunui hoi ka honi ana o ka enemi.
7 A soul that is full shall tread upon the honeycomb: and a soul that is hungry shall take even bitter for sweet.
Hehi no ka mea maona i ka waihona meli; Aka, i ka mea pololi la, ua ono na mea awaawa a pau.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that leaveth 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 perfumes rejoice the heart: and the good counsels of a friend are 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 Thy own friend, and thy father’s friend forsake not: and go not into thy brother’s house in the day of thy affliction. Better is a neighbour that is near, than a brother afar 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 Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.
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 prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered 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 his garment that hath been surety for a stranger: and take from him a pledge for strangers.
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 that blesseth his neighbour with a loud voice, rising in the night, shall be like to him that curseth.
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 Roofs dropping through in a cold day, and a contentious woman are alike.
O ke kulu mau ana i ka la ua, A me ka wahine nuku wale, na like.
16 He that retaineth her, is as he that would hold the wind, and shall call in the oil of 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 sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
Hookala kahi mea hao i kekahi mea hao, Hookala hoi ke kanaka i ka maka o kona hoalauna.
18 He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eat the fruit thereof: and he that 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 As the faces of them that look therein, shine in the water, so-the hearts of men are laid open to the wise.
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 As silver is tried in the fining-pot and gold in the furnace: so a man is tried by the mouth of him that praiseth. The heart of the wicked seeketh after evils, but the righteous heart seeketh after knowledge.
He ipu hoohehee no ke kala, a he kapuahi no ke gula, Pela ke kanaka imua o kona mahaloia mai.
22 Though thou shouldst bray a fool in the mortar, as when a pestle striketh upon sodden barley, his folly 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 thy cattle, and consider thy 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 thou shalt not always have power: but a crown shall be given to generation and 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 herbs have appeared, and the hay is gathered out of the mountains.
Kupu mai ka weuweu, ikea mai ka mauu, A e ohiia ana ka mea ulu o ka mauna.
26 Lambs are for thy clothing: and kids for the price of the field.
O na keikihipa no kou kapa komo, O ka poe kao kane ke kumukuai no ka aina.
27 Let the milk of the goats be enough for thy food, and for the necessities of thy house, and for maintenance for thy 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.
