Proverbs 30
1 THE WORDS OF AGUR THE SONNE OF JAKEH. The prophecie which ye man spake vnto Ithiel, euen to Ithiel, and Vcal.
HE mau wahi olelo a Agura ke keiki a Iake. He wanana; na ke kanaka i hoike mai ia Itiela; ia Itiela laua me Ukala.
2 Surely I am more foolish then any man, and haue not the vnderstanding of a man in me.
Owau ka mea hupo loa o na kanaka, Aole o'u wahi noonoo kanaka.
3 For I haue not learned wisedome, nor atteined to the knowledge of holy things.
Aole i loaa ia u ka naauao, Aole hoi o'u ike i ka Mea hemolele.
4 Who hath ascended vp to heauen, and descended? Who hath gathered the winde in his fist? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the endes of the world? What is his name, and what is his sonnes name, if thou canst tell?
Owai ka mea i pii ae i ka lani, a i iho mai hoi? Owai ka mea i hooiliili i ka makani ma kona lima? Owai ka mea i hoopaa i na wai ma kona aahu? Owai ka mea i hoonoho i na welelau a pau o ka honua? Owai hoi kona inoa, owai ka inoa o kana keiki? E hoike mai paha oe.
5 Euery worde of God is pure: he is a shield to those, that trust in him.
Pau loa na huaolelo a ke Akua i ka maemae; Oia ka palekaua i ka poe paulele aku ia ia.
6 Put nothing vnto his wordes, least he reproue thee, and thou be found a lyar.
Mai hui ae oe i kekahi mea me kana mau huaolelo, O ao mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i mea wahahee.
7 Two things haue I required of thee: denie me them not before I die.
Elua mau mea a'u i noi aku ai ia oe, Mai aua oe mamua o ko'u make ana.
8 Remooue farre from me vanitie and lyes: giue me not pouertie, nor riches: feede me with foode conuenient for me,
O ka lapuwale, a o ka wahahee, E hookaawale ae mai o'u aku nei; Mai haawi mai ia'u i ka ilihune, aole hoi i ka waiwai; E hanai mai ia'u i ka ai ku pono no'u;
9 Least I be full, and denie thee, and say, Who is the Lord? or least I be poore and steale, and take the Name of my God in vaine.
O hookuku ai au, a hoole aku hoi, Me ka i ana, Owai la o Iehova? O ilihune hoi au a aihue iho, A hoohiki ino i ka inoa o ko'u Akua.
10 Accuse not a seruant vnto his master, lest he curse thee, when thou hast offended.
Mai hoopii oe i ke kauwa imua o kona haku, O hooino mai oia ia oe, a e lilo oe i lawehala.
11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doeth not blesse their mother.
O kekahi hanauna, hoino no i ka makuakane, Aole hoi i hoomaikai i ka makuwahine.
12 There is a generation that are pure in their owne conceite, and yet are not washed from their filthinesse.
O kekahi hanauna hoi, he maemae ia i ko lakou maka iho, Aole hoi i holoiia ka paumaele.
13 There is a generation, whose eies are hautie, and their eye liddes are lifted vp.
O kekahi hanauna, hookano loa na maka o lakou! Hookiekie hoi na lihilihi o lakou.
14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swordes, and their chawes as kniues to eate vp the afflicted out of the earth, and the poore from among men.
O kekahi hanauna, he mau pahikaua ko lakou niho, He mau pahi hoi ko lakou mau kui. E ai ana i ka poe ilihune mai ka honua aku, A o ka poe nele hoi iwaena o na kanaka.
15 The horse leache hath two daughters which crye, Giue, giue. There be three things that will not be satisfied: yea, foure that say not, It is ynough.
He mau kaikamahine elua ka ka omokoko, E i ana, E ho mai, e ho mai, ea. Akolu no mea piha ole, Eha hoi, aole e olelo mai, Ua ana:
16 The graue, and the barren wombe, the earth that cannot be satisfied with water, and the fire that sayeth not, It is ynough. (Sheol h7585)
O ka lua, o ka opu pa; A o ka honua i mauu ole i ka wai; A o ke ahi, aole ana olelo mai, Ua nui. (Sheol h7585)
17 The eye that mocketh his father and despiseth the instruction of his mother, let ye rauens of the valley picke it out, and the yong eagles eate it.
O ka maka i hoowahawaha i kona makuakane, A hoole hoi aole e malama i kona makuwahine, E kiko iho ka poe koraka o ke awawa ia mea, A e ai iho no ka poe aito opiopio.
18 There be three thinges hid from me: yea, foure that I knowe not,
Ekolu mau mea kupanaha loa ia'u, Eha hoi, aole au i ike iho.
19 The way of an eagle in the aire, the way of a serpent vpon a stone, ye way of a ship in ye middes of the sea, and the way of a man with a maide.
O ka aoao o ka aito ma ka lewa; O ka aoao o ka nahesa maluna o ka pohaku; O ka aoao o ka moku iwaena o ka moana; A o ka aoao o ke kanaka me ka wahine puupaa.
20 Such is ye way also of an adulterous woman: she eateth and wipeth her mouth, and sayth, I haue not committed iniquitie.
Peneia ka aoao o ka wahine hookamakama, Ai iho la oia a holoi i kona nuku, A olelo ae, Aole au i hana hewa.
21 For three things the earth is moued: yea, for foure it cannot susteine it selfe:
Ekolu mau mea e haunaele ai ka honua, Eha hoi e hiki ole ai ke hoomanawanui:
22 For a seruant when he reigneth, and a foole when he is filled with meate,
O ke kauwa ke lilo i alii; O ka mea lapuwale ke maona i ka ai;
23 For the hatefull woman, when she is married, and for a handmaid that is heire to her mistres.
O ka wahine huhu wale ke mareia oia; A o ke kauwawahine he hooilina o kona hakuwahine.
24 These be foure small things in the earth, yet they are wise and full of wisedome:
Eha mau mea liilii loa ma ka honua nei, A ua akamai loa no nae:
25 The pismires a people not strong, yet prepare they their meate in sommer:
O ka poe anonanona, he poe ikaika ole lakou, Hoomakaukau no nae i ke kau i ka lakou ai;
26 The conies a people not mightie, yet make their houses in the rocke:
O ka poe rabita, he poe nawaliwali lakou, Ma na pohaku hoi i hana'i i ko lakou mau hale;
27 The grashopper hath no King, yet goe they forth all by bandes:
O ka poe uhini, aole o lakou alii, Hele papa no hoi lakou.
28 The spider taketh holde with her handes, and is in Kings palaces.
O ka moo, lalau no oia me kona mau lima, Aia no ia ma na hale hanohano o ke alii.
29 There be three thinges that order well their going: yea, foure are comely in going,
Ekolu mau mea, i maikai ka hele ana, Eha hoi i maikai ke hele ae.
30 A lyon which is strong among beastes, and turneth not at the sight of any:
O ka liona ka mea ikaika loa o na holoholona, Aole hoi oia e huli ae mai ke alo aku o lakou a pau;
31 A lusty grayhound, and a goate, and a King against whom there is no rising vp.
O ka ilio hahai, a o ke kao kane hoi, A o ke alii, hiki ole ke ku e ia ia.
32 If thou hast bene foolish in lifting thy selfe vp, and if thou hast thought wickedly, lay thine hand vpon thy mouth.
Ina he lapuwale oe i kou hookiekie ana, Ina paha he manao ino kou, e kau ana ka lima ma ka waha.
33 When one churneth milke, he bringeth foorth butter: and he that wringeth his nose, causeth blood to come out: so he that forceth wrath, bringeth foorth strife.
Ma ka hooluliluli ana i ka waiu e puka mai ai ka bata, Ma ka uwi ana i ka ihu e kahe mai ai ke koko; A ma ka hooioi ana i ka huhu e puka mai ai hoi ka hakaka.
