Proverbs 28
1 The wicked man fleeth, when no man pursueth: but the just, bold as a lion, shall be without dread.
HOOHEE wale ka mea hewa, aohe mea e hahai ana; O ka poe pono hoi, wiwo ole lakou me he liona la.
2 For the sins of the land many are the princes thereof: and for the wisdom of a man, and the knowledge of those things that are said, the life of the prince shall be prolonged.
No ka hewa o ka aina, nui no kolaila poe alii; A ma ke kanaka noonoo a ike hoi e paa loihi ana no ia.
3 A poor man that oppresseth the poor, is like a violent shower, which bringeth a famine.
O ke kanaka ilihune e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Oia ka ua e hoopau ana i ka ai a pau.
4 They that forsake the law, praise the wicked man: they that keep it, are incensed against him.
O ka poe haalele i ke kanawai, hoomaikai no lakou i ka mea hewa: O ka poe malama hoi i ke kanawai, ku e aku no i ua poe la.
5 Evil men think not on judgment: but they that seek after the Lord, take notice of all things.
Aole i ike ka poe aia i ka hoopono; A o ka poe imi ia Iehova, ike no i na mea a pau.
6 Better is the poor man walking in his simplicity, than the rich in crooked ways.
E aho ka mea ilihune ke hele oia ma ka pololei, I ka mea waiwai i hookekee i kona aoao.
7 He that keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that feedeth gluttons, shameth his father.
O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, he keiki naauao ia; O ka hoa no ka poe hookai wale, oia ka i hoohilahila i kona makuakane.
8 He that heapeth together riches by usury and loan, gathereth them for him that will be bountiful to the poor.
O ka mea hoonui i kona waiwai ma ka uku kuala a me ke kaili wale, E hooiliili oia ia mea na ka mea e aloha aku i ka poe ilihune.
9 He that turneth away his ears from hearing the law, his prayer shall be as abomination.
O ka mea haliu aku i kona pepeiao aole hoolono i ke kanawai, E hoopailuaia kana pule.
10 He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.
O ka mea kai hewa aku i ka poe pololei ma ka aoao hewa, Ma kona lua iho oia e haule ai; A o ka poe pololei hoi, e ili mai ka maikai no lakou.
11 The rich man seemeth to himself wise: but the poor man that is prudent shall search him out.
Ua naauao no ke kanaka waiwai i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea ilihune a naauao hoi, oia ka i ike aku ia ia.
12 In the joy of the just there is great glory: when the wicked reign, men are ruined.
I ka hauoli ana o ka poe pono, nui ka hanohano; A i ke ku ana'e o ka poe hewa, ua hunaia ke kanaka.
13 He that hideth his sins, shall not prosper: but he that shall confess, and forsake them, shall obtain mercy.
O ka mea huna i kona hewa iho, aole oia e pomaikai; Aka, o ka mea hooia a haalele hoi, e alohaia mai oia,
14 Blessed is the man that is always fearful: but he that is hardened in mind, shall fall into evil.
Pomaikai ke kanaka ke mau aku kona makau; O ka mea hoopaakiki i kona naau, e haule oia i ka popilikia.
15 As a roaring lion, and a hungry bear, so is a wicked prince over the poor people.
O ka liona uwo a me ka bea holoholo, Oia ke alii hewa maluna o na kanaka ilihune.
16 A prince void of prudence shall oppress many by calumny: but he that hateth covetousness, shall prolong his days.
O ke alii naauao ole, nui kona hookaumaha ana; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka makee waiwai, e loihi no kona mau la.
17 A man that doth violence to the blood of a person, if he flee even to the pit, no man will stay him.
O ke kanaka hewa i ke koko o kekahi, E holo oia i ka lua; mai keakea kekahi ia ia.
18 He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
O ka mea hele pololei e ola oia; O ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e haule koke no ia.
19 He that tilleth his ground, shall be filled with bread: but he that followeth idleness shall be filled with poverty.
O ka mea mahi i ka aina e maona oia i ka ai; O ka mea hoopili mea ai mahope o ka poe lapuwale e piha oia i ka ilihune.
20 A faithful man shall be much praised: but he that maketh haste to be rich, shall not be innocent.
O ke kanaka hooiaio, nui wale kona mau mea e pomaikai ai; O ka mea holo kiki mahope o ka waiwai, aole e ole kona hala.
21 He that hath respect to a person in judgment, doth not well: such a man even for a morsel of bread forsaketh the truth.
O ka manao ana i ko ke kanaka kino, aole ia he maikai; No kahi apana ai e lawehala no ua kanaka la.
22 A man, that maketh haste to be rich, and envieth others, is ignorant that poverty shall come upon him.
O ka mea hooikaika ma ka waiwai, he maka ino kona, Aole oia e ike o ka ilihune kana mea e loaa ai.
23 He that rebuketh a man, shall afterward find favour with him, more than he that by a flattering tongue deceiveth him.
O ka mea ao aku i ke kanaka, mahope iho e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai, Mamua o ka mea malimali me kona alelo.
24 He that stealeth any thing from his father, or from his mother: and saith, This is no sin, is the partner of a murderer.
O ke mea kaili wale i ka kona makuakane a me ka kona makuwahine, Me ka i ana ae, Aole ia he hewa, Oia ka hoa no ka pepehi kanaka.
25 He that boasteth, and puffeth up himself, stirreth up quarrels: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be healed.
O ka mea i haaheo ka naau, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova e lako loa oia.
26 He that trusteth in his own heart, is a fool: but he that walketh wisely, he shall be saved.
O ka mea paulele i kona naau iho, oia ka mea naaupo: O ka mea hele ma ka naauao, e hoopakeleia oia.
27 He that giveth to the poor, shall not want: he that despiseth his entreaty, shall suffer indigence.
O ka mea haawi wale na ka mea ilihune, aole oia e nele; A o ka mea i uhi ae i kona mau maka, e nui kona hoinoia mai.
28 When the wicked rise up, men shall hide themselves: when they perish, the lust shall be multiplied.
I ke ku ana o ka poe hewa, ua huna ke kanaka ia ia iho; A make lakou, alaila mahuahua ka poe pono.
