Proverbs 17
1 [is] good A morsel dry and quietness with it more than a house full sacrifices of strife.
MAIKAI hahi huna ai maloo me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka hale i piha i na mohai ke pili me ka hakaka.
2 A servant [who] acts prudently he will rule over a son [who] acts shamefully and in among brothers he will share [the] inheritance.
O ke kauwa noonoo, e noho oia maluna o ke keiki e hana hilahila ana; A mawaena o na hoahanau e loaa ia ia kekahi hooilina.
3 A crucible [is] for silver and a smelting furnace [is] for gold and [is] testing hearts Yahweh.
He ipu hoohehee, no ke kala ia; no ke gula hoi he kapuahi uuku; Aka, na Iehova e hoao mai i na naau.
4 An evil-doer [is] paying attention on a lip of wickedness deception [is] giving ear on a tongue of destruction.
O ka mea hewa la hoolohe oia i na lehelehe wahahee; O ka mea wahahee hoi, haliu kona pepeiao i ke elelo ino.
5 [one who] mocks the Poor [person] he reproaches maker his [a person] joyful for calamity not he will go unpunished.
O ka mea hoomaewaewa i ka mea nele, Ua hoowahawaha oia i ka mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea hoi i olioli i ka poino, Aole ia e pakele i ka hoopai ana.
6 [are the] crown of Old [people] children of children and [are the] honor of children parents their.
O ka lei o ka poe elemakule, oia na keiki a na keiki; O ka nani hoi o na keiki, oia na makuakane o lakou.
7 Not [is] suitable for a fool a lip of excellence indeed? for for a noble [person] a lip of deception.
Aole i kupono i ka mea naaupo ka lehelehe pololei; Aole loa hoi i ke alii ka lehelehe wahahee.
8 [is] a stone of Favor the bribe in [the] eyes of owners its to all that he turns he prospers.
He pohaku waiwai io ka makana i ka maka o ka mea nana ia; Ma na wahi a pau e loaa ana he mea ia e pono ai.
9 [one who] conceals A transgression [is] seeking love and [one who] repeats a matter [is] separating a close friend.
O ka mea huna i ka hewa, oia ke imi i ke aloha; O ka mea hoolaha hou ae, hookaawale oia i na makamaka.
10 It goes deep a rebuke in [one who] understands more than striking a fool a hundred [times].
Komo ke aoia mai iloko o ka mea naauao, Mamua o na hahau ana he haneri iloko o ka mea lapuwale.
11 Only rebellion he seeks an evil [person] and a messenger cruel he will be sent in him.
Ma ke kipi wale no e imi ai ke kanaka ino; Nolaila, hoounaia ka ilamuku io na la.
12 May he meet a bear robbed of cubs a person and may not [he meet] a fool in foolishness his.
E aho ke halawai ka bea keiki make me ke kanaka, Aole ka mea naaupo iloko o kona lapuwale.
13 [one who] returns Evil for good not (it will depart *Q(k)*) evil from house his.
O ka mea hana ino aku na ka mea hana pono mai, Aole e kaawale ka ino mai kona hale aku.
14 [is one who] lets out Water [the] beginning of strife and before it has broken out the dispute abandon.
E like me ka hookahe ana o ka wai, Pela ka hoomaka ana o ka hakaka; Nolaila, e oki e i ka hakaka mamua o kona mahuahua ana.
15 [one who] justifies [the] wicked And [one who] condemns as guilty [the] righteous [are] [the] abomination of Yahweh also both of them.
O ka mea hoopono aku i ka mea hewa, A o ka mea hoahewa aku i ka mea pono, Ho mau mea hoopailua laua ia Iehova.
16 Why? this [is] a price in [the] hand of a fool to acquire wisdom and [is] heart there not.
No ke aha la keia, he kumu kuai ma ka lima o ka mea lapuwale, E kuai aku ai i ke akamai, aohe ona manao malaila?
17 At every time [is] loving the friend and a brother for adversity he is born.
I na manawa a pau e aloha ana ka makamaka, A no ka la popilikia i hanau ai ka hoahanau.
18 A person lacking of heart [is] striking a palm [is] pledging a pledge before neighbor his.
O ke kanaka naauao ole, pai oia i ka lima, Lilo ia i mea panai imua o kona makamaka.
19 [one who] loves Transgression [is] loving contention [one who] makes high entrance his [is] seeking ruin.
O ka mea makemake i ke kipi, oia ka i makemake i ka hakaka; O ka mea hookiekie ae i kona ipuka, imi oia i ka make.
20 [a person] twisted of Heart not he finds good and [one who] is perverted in tongue his he falls in trouble.
O ka mea naau kekee, aole i loaa ia ia ka maikai; O ka mea elelo hoopunipuni, e haule oia i ka ino.
21 [one who] begets A fool to grief of him and not he rejoices [the] father of a fool.
O ka mea i hanau mai nana ke keiki lapuwale, he kaumaha kona; Aole e olioli ka makuakane o ke keiki naaupo.
22 A heart joyful it makes good healing and a spirit stricken it dries up bone[s].
O ka naau olioli, he laau lapaau ia e hooluolu ana; O ka uhane i hana pepe ia, hoomaloo ia i na iwi.
23 A bribe from [the] bosom a wicked [person] he accepts to turn aside [the] paths of justice.
Kaili ae ka mea hewa i ka waiwai kipe, I kona hoohaunaele ana i ka aoao pono.
24 [is] with [the] face of [one who] has understanding Wisdom and [the] eyes of a fool [are] at [the] end of [the] earth.
Imua i ke alo o ka mea noonoo malaila ka naauao; Aia hoi na maka o ka mea lapuwale, ma na welau o ka honua.
25 [is] grief To father his a son a fool and bitterness to [the] [one who] bore him.
O ke keiki lapuwale, ke kaumaha ia no kona makuakane, He mea awahia hoi i ka mea nana ia i hanau mai.
26 Also to impose a fine to righteous [person] not [is] good to strike noble [people] [is] on uprightness.
O ka hoopai hewa i ka mea pono, aole ia he maikai, Aole hoi ke papai aku i na'lii no ka pololei.
27 [one who] restrains Words his [is] knowing knowledge ([a person] noble of *Q(K)*) spirit [is] a person of understanding.
O ka mea ike nui, akahele oia i ka olelo; He uhane noho malie ko ke kanaka naauao.
28 Also a fool [who] keeps silent wise he is considered [who] shuts lips his discerning.
O ka mea naaupo hoi, i kona mumule ana, ua kuhiia oia he naauao; O ka mea pani i kona mau lehelehe hoi, he kanaka ike no ia.
