Proverbs 14
1 Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.
O KA wahine naauao, oia ke kukulu i kona hale; Wawahi iho la ka mea naaupo me kona mau lima.
2 He that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him.
O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, oia ka i makau ia Iehova; O ka mea i hookekee i kona aoao, oia ka i hoowahawaha ia ia.
3 In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!
Ma ka waha o ka mea naaupo, he laau hahau ka haaheo; O na lehelehe o ka poe naauao, oia ke malama aku ia lakou.
4 Without cattle, the crib is clean, but, much increase, is in the strength of the ox.
I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.
5 A faithful witness, will not deceive, but a false witness, uttereth deceitful things.
O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
6 A scoffer seeketh wisdom, and there is none, but, knowledge, to the discerning, is easy.
Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
7 Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
8 The wisdom of the prudent, is to understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.
O ke akamai o ka mea ike, oia ka hoomaopopo ana i kona aoao; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, oia ka hoopunipuni.
9 the foolish, scoff at guilt, but, between the upright, is good pleasure.
Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
10 The heart, knoweth its own bitterness, and, in its joy, no stranger shareth.
Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
11 The house of the lawless, shall be destroyed, but, the tent of the upright, shall flourish.
O ka hale o ka poe hewa, e hoohioloia; O ka halelewa o ka poe pololei, e paa mau no ia,
12 There is a way that enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways of death!
O kekahi aoao, he pololei ia i kanaka; O kona hope hoi, oia ka aoao o ka make.
13 Even, in laughter, the heart may be in pain, and, the latter end of gladness, be grief.
I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
14 With his own ways, shall be filled the backslider in heart, and, from himself, shall a good man [be satisfied].
E hoopihaia auauei ka naau o ka mea hoi hope i kona aoaoiho; A o ke kanaka maikai hoi i kona hua iho.
15 The simple, believeth every word, but, the prudent, looketh well to his going.
Manaoio no ka mea noonoo ole i na olelo a pau; Aka, o ka mea maalea, nana pono oia i kona hele ana.
16 A wise man, feareth, and avoideth evil, but, a dullard, is haughty and confident.
O ka mea naauao, makau no ia, a haalele i ka hewa; O ka mea lapuwale hoi, he haaheo kona a me ka makau ole.
17 The impatient, worketh folly, and, a man of wicked devices, is hated.
O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.
18 The simple inherit folly, but, the shrewd, crowneth himself with knowledge.
E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poe noonoo ole; E kau hoi ka ike me he lei la maluna o ka poe naauao.
19 Abased are the wicked, before the good, and, the lawless, at the gates of the righteous.
Kulou ae ka poe hewa imua i ke alo o ka poe maikai; O ka poe aia hoi ma ka ipuka o ka mea pono.
20 Even by his neighbour, is a poor man hated, but, the lovers of the rich man, are many.
Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
21 He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, sinneth, but, he that sheweth favour to the afflicted, how happy is he!
O ka mea hoowahawaha i kona hoanoho, ua hewa oia; O ka mea lokomaikai aku i ka mea i nele, pomaikai oia.
22 Shall they not, become vagrants, who devise evil? but, lovingkindness and faithfulness, [be to] them who devise good.
Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
23 By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want.
Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
24 the crown of the wise, is their wealth, but, the folly of dullards, is, folly.
O ka lei o ka poe akamai, oia ko lakou waiwai; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, he lapuwale wale iho no ia.
25 A deliverer of souls, is a faithful witness, but, he that uttereth falsehoods, is a fraud.
Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
26 In the reverence of Yahweh, is strong security, and, his children, shall have a place of refuge.
Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
27 The reverence of Yahweh, is a well-spring of life, that a man may avoid the snares of death.
O ka makau ia Iehova, he punawai ola ia, He mea ia e haalele ai i na pahele o ka make.
28 In the multitude of a people, is the majesty of the king, but, in the ceasing of population, is the ruin of the prince.
Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
29 One slow to anger, hath great understanding, but, the hasty in spirit, exalteth folly.
O ka mea uumi i ka huhu, oia ka noonoo nui; O ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhu, oia ke hoike i ka lapuwale.
30 The life of the whole body, is a tranquil mind, but, a decay of the bones, is jealousy.
O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
31 The oppressor of the poor, hath reproached his Maker, but he that sheweth favour to the needy, is one who, holdeth Him in honour.
O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea nele, oia ka i hoowahawaha i ka Mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea malama aku ia ia, oia ke aloha i ka mea ilihune.
32 By his own wickedness, shall the lawless man, be thrust down, but the righteous, seeketh refuge in his integrity.
Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
33 In the heart of the intelligent, reposeth wisdom, but, in the midst of dullards, it maketh itself known.
Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
34 Righteousness, exalteth a nation, but, a reproach to any people, is sin.
Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
35 The good-pleasure of a king, is due to a servant who is discreet, but, his indignation, shall be against him that bringeth shame.
O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
