Ecclesiastes 5
1 Take heede to thy foote when thou entrest into the House of God, and be more neere to heare then to giue the sacrifice of fooles: for they knowe not that they doe euil.
E MALAMA oe i kou wawae i kou hele ana i ka hale o ke Akua, e hoolohe koke, aole hoi oe e haawi i ka mohai a ka poe naaupo, no ka mea, aole lakou i manao pono, ua hana hewa lakou.
2 Be not rash with thy mouth, nor let thine heart be hastie to vtter a thing before God: for God is in the heauens, and thou art on the earth: therefore let thy wordes be fewe.
Mai olelo wawe kou waha, aole hoi e wikiwiki kou naau e hoopuka aku i kekahi mea imua o ke Akua; no ka mea, aia ke Akua ma ka lani, aka, eia no oe ma ka honua nei, no ia mea, e hoouuku i kau mau olelo.
3 For as a dreame commeth by the multitude of businesse: so the voyce of a foole is in the multitude of wordes.
No ka mea, no ka nui o ka hana, e hiki mai ai ka moeuhane; a o ka leo o ka naaupo, ua ikeia no ka lehulehu o kana olelo ana.
4 When thou hast vowed a vowe to God, deferre not to pay it: for he deliteth not in fooles: pay therefore that thou hast vowed.
Ina e olelo oe e hoohiki i ke Akua, mai hoohakalia oe i ka hooko aku, no ka mea, aole oluolu ke Akua, i ka poe naaupo; e hooko aku oe i kau mea e hoohiki ai.
5 It is better that thou shouldest not vowe, then that thou shouldest vow and not pay it.
Ua oi aku kou maikai ke hoohiki ole, mamua o kou maikai ke hoohiki oe, aole hoi e hooko aku.
6 Suffer not thy mouth to make thy flesh to sinne: neither say before the Angel, that this is ignorance: wherefore shall God bee angry by thy voyce, and destroy the worke of thine hands?
E malama oe i kou waha i ole e hoohihia'i kou kino; mai olelo oe imua o ke kahuna, He kuhi hewa ia. No ke aha la e huhu mai ai ke Akua i kou leo, a e hoohiolo i ka hana a kou mau lima?
7 For in the multitude of dreames, and vanities are also many wordes: but feare thou God.
No ka mea, ma ka lehulehu o na moenhane, a me na olelo he nui wale, aia na mea lapuwale. Aka hoi, e makau aku oe i ke Akua.
8 If in a countrey thou seest the oppression of the poore, and the defrauding of iudgement and iustice, be not astonied at the matter: for hee that is higher then the highest, regardeth, and there be higher then they.
I kou ike ana i ka hooluhiia o ka poe ilihune, a me ka hookahuli ana i ka oiaio, a me ka pono ma ka aina, mai kahaha kou naau i keia, no ka mea, o ka mea kiekie o na mea kiekie a pau, oia ka mea i ike mai, a aia hoi na mea kiekie maluna o lakou.
9 And the abundance of the earth is ouer all: the King also consisteth by the fielde that is tilled.
O ka hua o ka honua, na na mea ia a pau; a o ke alii pu kekahi i hanaiia e ka aina.
10 He that loueth siluer, shall not be satisfied with siluer, and he that loueth riches, shalbe without the fruite thereof: this also is vanitie.
O ka mea makemake i ke kala, aole pau kona ono i ke kala; a o ka mea makemake i na mea nui, aole ia e ana i ka nui o ka waiwai. He mea lapuwale keia.
11 When goods increase, they are increased that eate them: and what good commeth to the owners thereof, but the beholding thereof with their eyes?
I ka mahuahua ana o na mea maikai, mahuahua no hoi ka poe e hoopau ana ia mau mea; a heaha ka pono i loaa mai i ka poe nana ia mau mea? O ka ike wale ana o ko lakou mau maka.
12 The sleepe of him that traueileth, is sweete, whether he eate litle or much: but the sacietie of the riche will not suffer him to sleepe.
Ua lea ka hiamoe o ka poe hana, ke ai unku lakou a ke ai nui hoi; aka, o ka maona nui o ka mea waiwai, he mea ia e lea ole ai kona hiamoe ana.
13 There is an euill sickenes that I haue seene vnder the sunne: to wit, riches reserued to the owners thereof for their euill.
Eia kekahi mea pono ole a'u i ike ai malalo iho o ka la, o ka waiwai i malamaia i mea e poino ai ka poe nona ia.
14 And these riches perish by euill trauel, and he begetteth a sonne, and in his hand is nothing.
Aka, e pau auanei keia waiwai i ka hana pono ole; a ua hanau aku kana keiki, aka, aohe mea ma kona lima.
15 As hee came foorth of his mothers belly, he shall returne naked to goe as he came, and shall beare away nothing of his labour, which hee hath caused to passe by his hand.
E like me kona puka ana mai, mai ka opu mai o kona makuwahine, pela no ia e hoi hou aku ai me ke kapa ole, e like me kona puka ana mai; aole hiki ia ia ke lawe aku ma kona lima i kekahi mea ana i hana'i.
16 And this also is an euill sickenes that in all pointes as he came, so shall he goe, and what profit hath he that he hath traueiled for the winde?
Eia ka mea pono ole; e like loa me kona puka ana mai, pela no kona hele ana aku. Heaha kona pono i kana hana ana no ka makani?
17 Also all his dayes hee eateth in darkenes with much griefe, and in his sorowe and anger.
A o kona mau la a pau, ua ai oia iloko o ka pouli, a i kona wa mai, ua kaumaha oia no ka huhu.
18 Beholde then, what I haue seene good, that it is comely to eate, and to drinke, and to take pleasure in all his labour, wherein he traueileth vnder the sunne, the whole nomber of the dayes of his life, which God giueth him: for this is his portion.
Aia hoi, ka mea a'u i ike ai, he mea maikai keia, a he nani hoi, e ai kekahi, a e inu hoi, a e olioli i ka hana a pau ana i hana'i malalo iho o ka la, i na la a pau loa o kona ola ana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai nana; no ka mea, oia kona haawina.
19 Also to euery man to whom God hath giuen riches and treasures, and giueth him power to eate thereof, and to take his part, and to enioy his labour: this is the gift of God.
A o kela kanaka, keia kanaka, ka mea a ke Akua i haawi mai ai i ka waiwai a me ka lako, a ua ae mai hoi oia i kana ai ana, a me kona lawe ana i kona haawina, a i kona olioli ana i ka hana ana i hana'i. Oia ka mea a ke Akua i haawi mai ai.
20 Surely hee will not much remember the dayes of his life, because God answereth to the ioy of his heart.
Aole ia e hoomanao nui i na la o kona ola ana; no ka mea, ua ae mai ke Akua i ka olioli o kona naau.
