Proverbs 29
1 The man that with a stiff neck despiseth him that reproveth him, shall suddenly be destroyed: and health shall not follow him.
O KE kanaka i ao pinepine ia a hoopaakiki hoi i kona a-i, E make koke no ia, aole mea e ola'i.
2 When just men increase, the people shall rejoice: when the wicked shall bear rule, the people shall mourn.
I ka lehulehu ana e ka poe pono, hauoli na kanaka; A i ke alii ana o ka mea hewa, ulono ae la na kanaka.
3 A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.
O ke kanaka e ake ana i ka naauao, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ka mea launa aku me na wahine hookamakama, hokai wale aku oia i kana waiwai.
4 A just king setteth up the land: a covetous man shall destroy it.
Ma ka hoopono, e hooku paa ai ke alii i ka aina; O ka mea lawe i na makana, oia ke hoohiolo iho.
5 A man that speaketh to his friend with flattering and dissembling words, spreadeth a net for his feet.
O ke kanaka malimali aku i kona hoanoho, Oia ka i hohola i ka hei no kona mau wawae.
6 A snare shall entangle the wicked man when he sinneth: and the just shall praise and rejoice.
Puniheiia ke kanaka hewa ma kona hewa iho; Hauoli no ka mea pono me ka olioli.
7 The just taketh notice of the cause of the poor: the wicked is void of knowledge.
Ike aku no ka mea pono i ka pilikia o ka poe ilihune; A o ka mea hewa, aole ona manao e ike aku.
8 Corrupt men bring a city to ruin: but wise men turn away wrath.
O ka poe hoowahawaha, hoohihia lakou i ke kulanakauhale; O ka poe naauao, pale ae lakou i ka huhu.
9 If a wise man contend with a fool, whether he be angry or laugh, he shall find no rest.
Ina e hoopaapaa ke kanaka naauao, me ke kanaka hewa, He huhu paha kona, he akaaka paha, aohe oluolu iki.
10 Bloodthirsty men hate the upright: but just men seek his soul.
O ka poe punikoko, inaina aku lakou i ka mea pololei; Imi hoi ka poe hoopono i ke ola nona.
11 A fool uttereth all his mind: a wise man deferreth, and keepeth it till afterwards.
Hoopuka mai ka mea naaupo i kona manao a pau; Noho malie hoi ka mea naauao a mahope aku.
12 A prince that gladly heareth lying words, hath all his servants wicked.
Ina e haliu ae ke alii i ka olelo wahahee, Pau loa kana poe kauwa i ka hana hewa.
13 The poor man and the creditor have met one another: the Lord is the enlightener of them both.
O ka mea ilihune, a o ke kanaka hookaumaha e halawai pu laua; Na Iehova e hoomalamalama i na maka o laua a elua.
14 The king that judgeth the poor in truth, his throne shall be established for ever.
O ke alii e hooponopono ana i ka poe ilihune ma ka oiaio, E paa mau loa no kona nohoalii.
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom: but the child that is left to his own will bringeth his mother to shame.
O ka laau hahau, a me ke aoia mai, haawi no i ka naauao; A o ko keiki waiho wale ia, oia ke hoohilahila i kona makuwahine.
16 When the wicked are multiplied, crimes shall be multiplied: but the just shall see their downfall.
I ka mahuahua ana o ka poe howa, mahuahua no ke kolohe; E ike hoi ka poe pono i ko lakau haule ana.
17 Instruct thy son, and he shall refresh thee, and shall give delight to thy soul.
E haua i kau keiki, a nana oe e hoomaha mai; E lilo no ia i mea e olioli ai kou uhane.
18 When prophecy shall fail, the people shall be scattered abroad: but he that keepeth the law is blessed.
I ole ke aoia mai, hele hewa na kanaka; A o ka mea malama i ke kanawai, pomaikai oia.
19 A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.
Ma ka olelo wale ana, aole e aoia mai ke kauwa; No ka mea ina paha i ike, aole ia e pane mai,
20 Hast thou seen a man hasty to speak? folly is rather to be looked for, than his amendment.
Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka wikiwiki i ka olelo? Ua lana ka manao no ka mea naaupo aole nona.
21 He that nourisheth his servant delicately from his childhood, afterwards shall find him stubborn.
O ka mea hoohiwahiwa i kana kauwa mai kona wa uuku mai, Mahope iho, e lilo oia i keiki nana.
22 A passionate man provoketh quarrels: and he that is easily stirred up to wrath, shall be more prone to sin.
O ke kanaka huhu, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka, A o ka mea inaina wale, nui ae la kona hewa.
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
O ka haaheo o ke kanaka, oia ka mea uana ia e hoohaahaa iho; E pili hoi ka hanohano i ka mea haahaa ka naau.
24 He that is partaker with a thief, hateth his own soul: he heareth one putting him to his oath, and discovereth not.
O ka mea lawe pu me ka aihue, inaina aku oia i kona uhane iho; Ua lohe oia i ka hailiili, aole hoi i hoike aku.
25 He that feareth man, shall quickly fall: he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be set on high.
O ka makau i ke kanaka, he mea ia e hihia ai; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova ua palekana oia.
26 Many seek the face of the prince: but the judgment of every one cometh forth from the Lord.
Nui ka poe imi i ka lokomaikaiia mai e ke alii, Aka, no Iehova mai ka hoopono ana i ke kanaka.
27 The just abhor the wicked man: and the wicked loathe them that are in the right way. The son that keepeth the word, shall be free from destruction.
He mea hoopailua i ka poe pono ke kanaka hoopono ole; He mea hoopailua hoi i ka mea hewa, ka mea pololei ma kona aoao.
