Proverbs 15
1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
3 The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
4 A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit.
O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
5 A fool despiseth his father’s instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent.
Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
6 In the house of the righteous [is] much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish [doeth] not so.
O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
8 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight.
O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
9 The way of the wicked [is] an abomination unto the LORD: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.
He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
10 Correction [is] grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: [and] he that hateth reproof shall die.
O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
11 Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.
Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.
O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
15 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil: but he that is of a merry heart [hath] a continual feast.
Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
16 Better [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
17 Better [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
18 A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but [he that is] slow to anger appeaseth strife.
O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
19 The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain.
O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
20 A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother.
O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
21 Folly [is] joy to [him that is] destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly.
O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
22 Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
23 A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]!
He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
25 The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
26 The thoughts of the wicked [are] an abomination to the LORD: but [the words] of the pure [are] pleasant words.
He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
28 The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
29 The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: [and] a good report maketh the bones fat.
O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
31 The ear that heareth the reproof of life abideth among the wise.
O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
33 The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom; and before honour [is] humility.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
