Proverbs 22
1 A GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
HE mea makemakeia ke kaulaua mamua o ka waiwai he nui; A mamua hoi o ke kala a me ke gula ka lokomaikai io.
2 The rich and poor meet together: the LORD is the maker of them all.
Halawai pu ka poe waiwai a me ka poe ilihune; Na Iehova lakou a pau i hana.
3 A prudent man forsees the evil, and hides himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Nana ae la ka mea noonoo i ka ino, a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka mea naaupo a hihia oia.
4 By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
No ka naau haahaa, ka makau ia Iehova, Ka waiwai hoi a me ka hanohano a me ke ola.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse: he that does keep his soul shall be far from them.
Aia na kakalaioa a me na mea hihia ma ke ala o ka mea hele kekee; O ka mea malama i kona uhane, kaawale no oia ia mau mea.
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
E ao aku i ke kamalii i kona aoao, A elemakule oia, aole ia e huli ae mailaila aku.
7 The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Noho alii ka mea waiwai maluna o ka poe ilihune, He kauwa hoi ka mea hoopili wale na ke kanaka haawi wale.
8 He that sows iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
O ka mea lulu aku i ka hewa, e ohi ia i ka popilikia; Ua hoopauia ka laau hahau o kona huhu.
9 He that has a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he gives of his bread to the poor.
O ka mea maka lokomaikai, e hoomaikaiia oia; No ka mea, ua haawi wale ia i kekahi o kana berena i ka mea nele.
10 Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.
E hookuke aku i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e kaawale aku hoi ka hoopaapaa; E pau hoi ka hakaka a me ka hoomaewaewa.
11 He that loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
O ka mea makemake aku i ka naau maemae, No ka lokomaikai o kona mau lehelehe, o lilo ke alii i hoaaloha nona.
12 The eyes of the LORD preserve knowledge, and he overthrows the words of the transgressor.
O na maka o Iehova, malama aku no i ka ike, Hoohiolo oia i na olelo a ka mea aia.
13 The slothful man says, There is a lion without, I shall be slain in the streets.
Olelo ae la ka mea palaualelo, he liona mawaho, E make auanei au ma ke alanui.
14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.
He lua hohonu ka waha o ka wahine hookamakama, O ka mea inainaia e Iehova, e haule no ia malaila.
15 Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.
Ua paa ke kolohe iloko o ka naau o ke kamalii, O ka laau hahau, oia ke hoohemo ae ia mea mai ona aku.
16 He that oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he that gives to the rich, shall surely come to lack.
O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea ilihune i mea e hoomahuahua ai i kana iho, A o ka mea haawi no ka mea waiwai, e nele io no laua a elua.
17 Bow down your ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply your heart unto my knowledge.
E haliu mai kou pepeiao a e hoolohe i na olelo a ka poe naauao, A e imi iho kou naau i ko'u ike.
18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you; they shall likewise be fitted in your lips.
No ka mea, he oluolu no ke malama oe ia mau mea iloko ou, E ku pono no hoi i kou mau lehelehe;
19 That your trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to you this day, even to you.
I paulele oe ia Iehova, Oia ka'u i hoike ai ia oe, ia oe no i keia la,
20 Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge,
Aole anei i palapala aku au ia oe i na maikai, Ma na oleloao a me ka ike?
21 That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send unto you?
I hoike aku ai au ia oe i ka oiaio o ka olelo pololei, I hai pololei aku oe i ka poe i hoounaia mai ia oe.
22 Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afflicted in the gate:
Mai kaili wale oe i ka ka mea ilihune no kona ilihune ana; Aole hoi e hookaumaha i ka mea nele ma kahi o ka ipuka:
23 For the LORD will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled them.
No ka mea, na Iehova e hooponopono no lakou, E hao mai oia i ka uhane o ka poe i hao aku ia lakou.
24 Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man you shall not go:
Mai hoolauna aku oe me ka mea huhu, A, me ke kanaka inaina hoi, mai hele pu oe;
25 Lest you learn his ways, and get a snare to your soul.
O ao iho oe i kona mau aoao, A loaa i kou uhane ka hihia.
26 Be not you one of them that shake hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.
Mai hui ae oe me ka poe pai aku i ka lima; Aole hoi me ka poe panai no ka aie:
27 If you have nothing to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you?
Ina aole au mea e hookaa aku ai, No ke aha la e laweia aku ai kou wahi moe mailalo aku ou?
28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which your fathers have set.
Mai honeenee oe i na mokuna aina kahiko, Na mea a kou poe kupuna i hoonoho ai.
29 See you a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka miki ma kana hana? E ku no ia imua o na'lii, Aole oia e ku imua o ka poe naaupo.
