Proverbs 11
1 A deceptive balance, is an abomination to Yahweh, but, a full weight, is his delight.
O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
2 When pride cometh, then cometh contempt, but, with the modest, is wisdom.
A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
3 The integrity of the upright, shall guide them, but, the crookedness of the treacherous, shall be their ruin.
O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
4 Wealth, shall not profit, in the day of wrath, but, righteousness, shall deliver from death.
O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
5 The righteousness of the blameless, shall smooth his way, but, by his own lawlessness, shall the lawless one, fall.
O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
6 The righteousness of the upright, shall deliver them, but, by their own craving, shall the treacherous be captured.
Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
7 When the lawless man dieth, his expectation, perisheth, and, the hope of strong men, hath vanished.
I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
8 The righteous man, out of distress, is delivered, then cometh a lawless man into his place.
Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
9 With the mouth, a profane man destroyeth his neighbour, but, through knowledge, shall righteous men be delivered.
Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
10 When it is, well with the righteous, the city, exulteth, When the lawless perish, there is a shout of triumph.
I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
11 When the upright are blessed, exalted is the city, but, by the mouth of the lawless, it is overthrown.
Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
12 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, lacketh sense, but, a man of understanding, observeth silence.
O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
13 He that goeth about talebearing, revealeth a secret, but, he that is faithful in spirit, concealeth a matter.
O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
14 With no guidance, a people will fall, but, safety, lieth in the greatness of the counsellor.
Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
15 He that becometh surety for a stranger, goeth to utter ruin, but, he that hateth striking hands, is secure.
E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
16 A gracious wife, obtaineth honour, but, the diligent, shall obtain wealth.
O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
17 The man of lovingkindness, dealeth well with his own soul, but the cruel man, troubleth his own flesh.
O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
18 The lawless man, earneth the wages of falsehood, but, he that soweth righteousness, hath the reward of fidelity.
O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
19 A righteous son, [turneth] to life, but, he that pursueth wickedness, to his own death.
E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
20 The abomination of Yahweh, are they of perverse heart, but, his delight, are the men of blameless life.
He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
21 Hand to hand, the wicked man shall not be held innocent, but, the seed of the righteous, hath been delivered.
Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
22 As a ring of gold in the snout of a swine, is a woman of beauty who hath abandoned discretion.
Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
23 The desire of the righteous, is only good, the expectation of the lawless, is wrath.
O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
24 There is who scattereth, and increaseth yet more, and who withholdeth of what is due, only to come to want.
Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
25 The liberal soul, shall be enriched, and, he that refresheth, shall himself also be refreshed.
O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
26 He that keepeth back corn, the populace will curse him, but there is, a blessing, for the head of him that selleth.
O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
27 He that diligently seeketh good, aimeth at favour, but, he that studieth mischief, it shall come on himself.
O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
28 He that trusteth in his riches, the same, shall fall, but, like the leaf, shall the righteous break forth.
O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
29 He that troubleth his own house, shall inherit the wind, but, a servant, shall the foolish be, to the wise in heart.
O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
30 The fruit of the righteous, is a tree of life, and, he that rescueth souls, is wise.
O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
31 Lo! the righteous, in the earth shall be recompensed, how much more the lawless and the sinner.
Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
