Proverbs 20
1 Wine is a mocker and strong drinke is raging: and whosoeuer is deceiued thereby, is not wise.
HE mea henehene ka waina, he walaau nui hoi ka mea e ona'i; O na mea a pau i puni malaila, aole i naauao.
2 The feare of the King is like the roaring of a lyon: hee that prouoketh him vnto anger, sinneth against his owne soule.
He uwo ana me he liona la, ka weliweli i ke alii; O ka mea hoonaukiuki ia ia, hoeha no oia i kona uhane iho.
3 It is a mans honour to cease from strife: but euery foole will be medling.
He mea nani no ke kanaka, ke hooki i ka hoopaapaa: Aka, e huhu no na mea lapuwale a pau.
4 The slouthfull will not plowe, because of winter: therefore shall he beg in sommer, but haue nothing.
Aole e mahiai ka mea palaualelo no ke anu; A e makilo oia i ka wa e ohi ai, aole e loaa.
5 The counsell in the heart of man is like deepe waters: but a man that hath vnderstanding, will drawe it out.
He wai hohonu, ka oleloao iloko o ko kanaka naau; Na ke kanaka naauao e uhuki ae.
6 Many men wil boast, euery one of his owne goodnes: but who can finde a faithfull man?
E hai aku ka nui o na kanaka i ko lakou pono iho; O ke kanaka hana oiaio, ia wai la i loaa'i ia?
7 He that walketh in his integritie, is iust: and blessed shall his children be after him.
O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, he mea pono oia; E hoomaikaiia hoi kana poe keiki mahope ona.
8 A King that sitteth in the throne of iudgement, chaseth away all euill with his eyes.
O ke alii e noho ana ma ka noho hookolokolo, Hooauhee oia i na hewa a pau me kona mau maka.
9 Who can say, I haue made mine heart cleane, I am cleane from my sinne?
Owai la ke hiki e olelo aku, Ua hoomaemae au i ko'u naau? Ua kaawale au i ko'u hewa?
10 Diuers weightes, and diuers measures, both these are euen abomination vnto the Lord.
He ana paona palua a he ana palua no na mea e ae, He hoopailua ia Iehova ia mau mea elua.
11 A childe also is knowen by his doings, whether his worke be pure and right.
Ua ikeia ke keiki ma ka hana ana, Ina paha he maemae, a he pololei kana hana.
12 The Lord hath made both these, euen the eare to heare, and the eye to see.
O ka pepeiao lohe, a o ka maka nana, Na Iehova no i hana ia mau mea elua.
13 Loue not sleepe least thou come vnto pouertie: open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
Mai makemake oe i ka hiamoe o lilo oe i mea nele; E wehe ae i kou mau maka, a e maona i ka ai.
14 It is naught, it is naught, sayth the buyer: but when he is gone apart, he boasteth.
He ino, he ino, wahi a ka mea kuai mai; A i kona hele ana aku, alaila, haanui oia.
15 There is golde, and a multitude of precious stones: but the lips of knowledge are a precious iewel.
Aia he gula a me na pohaku maikai he nui wale; Aka, o ka mea nani loa, oia ka lehelehe ike.
16 Take his garment, that is suretie for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.
E lawe oe i ke kapa o kekahi ke panai oia no ka malihini, A no na malihini hoi i lawe i kekahi waiwai ana.
17 The bread of deceit is sweete to a man: but afterward his mouth shalbe filled with grauel.
Ua ono i ke kanaka ka ai no ka wahahee; A mahope iho, e piha kona waha i ke one.
18 Establish the thoughtes by counsell: and by counsell make warre.
Ua paa ka manao ma ke kukakuka pu ana; Ma ka noonoo pololei hoi e kaua aku ai.
19 He that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
O ka mea holoholo olelo, hoike aku oia i na mea i hunaia; Mai launa aku me ka mea hoomalimali me koua mau lehelehe.
20 He that curseth his father or his mother, his light shalbe put out in obscure darkenes.
O ka mea hailiili aku i kona makuakane a me kona makuwahine, E pio kona kukui i ke onohi o ka pouli.
21 An heritage is hastely gotten at the beginning, but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
O ka hooilina i loaa mua ma ke kaili wale, O kona hopena, aole e pomaikai ia.
22 Say not thou, I wil recompense euill: but waite vpon the Lord, and he shall saue thee.
Mai olelo ae oe, E hoopai aku au i ka hewa; E kakali oe ia Iehova, nana no oe o kokua mai.
23 Diuers weightes are an abomination vnto the Lord, and deceitful balances are not good.
He hoopailua ia Iehova na ana paona papalua; O ke kaupaona hoopunipuni aole i pono ia.
24 The steps of man are ruled by the Lord: how can a man then vnderstand his owne way?
Na Iehova mai ka hele ana o ke kanaka; Pehea hoi e hiki ai i ke kanaka ko ike i kona aoao iho?
25 It is a destruction for a man to deuoure that which is sanctified, and after the vowes to inquire.
He mea hihia i ke kanaka, ke hoohiki naaupo i ka mea hemolele; A mahope iho o ka hoohiki ana, alaila noonoo.
26 A wise King scattereth the wicked, and causeth the wheele to turne ouer them.
Hoopuehu ae ke alii akamai i ka poe hewa, Hookaa oia i ke kaa maluna o lakou.
27 The light of the Lord is the breath of man, and searcheth all the bowels of the belly.
O ke kukui o Iehova, o ka hanu ia o ke kanaka, E komo ana ma na wahi a pau o ka opu.
28 Mercie and trueth preserue the King: for his throne shall be established with mercie.
Na ka lokomaikai a me ka oiaio e malama mai i ke alii; Ua paa hoi kona nohoalii i ka lokomaikai.
29 The beautie of yong men is their strength, and the glory of the aged is the gray head.
O ka ikaika ka mea e kaulana'i na kanaka ui; O ke poohina ka mea e nani ai ka elemakule.
30 The blewnes of the wound serueth to purge the euill, and the stripes within the bowels of the belly.
O ka pahu ana o ka mai he mea hoomaemae i ka ino; O ka haua hoi, i koloko o ka opu.
