Proverbs 10
1 These [are more] proverbs/wise sayings from Solomon: If children are wise, they cause their parents to be happy; but if children are foolish, they cause their parents to be very sad.
O KE keiki akamai, hoohauoli mai oia i kona makuakane; A o ke keiki lapuwale, hoouluhua mai oia i kona makuwahine.
2 Money that you get by doing dishonest/wicked things will really not benefit you; but by living righteously you will live for (a long time/many years).
O ka waiwai i loaa hewa mai, aole he mea ia e pomaikai ai; Aka, o ka pono, oia ka i hoopakele i ka make.
3 Yahweh does not allow righteous [people] to starve, but he will prevent wicked [people] from getting what they want.
Aole e waiho mai o Iehova i ka uhane o ka mea pono a pololi; Aka, hoole no ia i ka makemake o ka poe hewa.
4 Lazy people [soon] become poor; it is those who work hard who become rich.
O ka lima hoopalaleha, he mea ia e ilihune ai; Aka, o ka lima hooikaika mau i ka hana, oia ka mea e waiwai ai.
5 Those who are wise, harvest the crops when they are ripe; it is shameful/disgraceful to sleep [and not work] during harvest time.
O ka mea hooiliili i ke kau, he keiki naauao ia; O ka mea hiamoe i ka wa e ohi ai, he keiki hoohilahila ia.
6 Righteous [people will] be blessed [by God]; [the nice things] that wicked [people] say [MTY] [sometimes] conceal the fact that they [are planning to] act violently.
O na mea e pomaikai ai, aia maluna o ke poo o ka mea pono; Aka, ma ka waha o ka poe hewa i hunaia'i ka ino.
7 After righteous [people die], other people are blessed as they remember [what those people did before they died]; but we will soon forget wicked people [MTY] after they die.
O ka hoomanao ana i ka mea hoopono, he mea hauoli ia; A o ka inoa o ka poe hewa, E palakahuki ia.
8 Wise people heed good instruction/advice, but people who talk foolishly will ruin themselves.
O ka mea i akamai ka naau, e hoopaa oia i na kauoha; Aka, o ka mea i lapuwale na lehelehe, e hina oia.
9 Honest people will be safe, but [others] (OR, God) will find out those who are dishonest.
O ka mea hele ma ka pololei, hele paa pono no ia; A o ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e ikeia oia.
10 Those who signal with their eyes [that they are about to do something that is wrong] cause trouble, but those who rebuke others truthfully cause them to be peaceful.
O ka mea i imo ka maka, hoeha mai oia; O ka mea i lapuwale na lehelehe, e hina oia.
11 What righteous [people] say [MTY] is [like] a fountain that (gives life/enables people to live many years) [MET], but what wicked [people] say [MTY] hides [the fact] that they intend to act violently.
He punawai hoola ka waha o ka mea hoopono; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa i hunaia'i ka ino.
12 When we hate others, it causes quarrels, but if we love others, we forgive them [for the wrong things that they do].
Hookonokono ka inaina i ka hakaka; Aka, uhi mai no ke aloha i na hewa a pau.
13 Those who have good sense say [MTY] what is wise, but people who do not have good sense must be punished.
Ma na lehelehe o ka mea naauao i loaa'i ke akamai; Aka, o ka laau hahau, no ke kua ia o ka mea manao ole.
14 Wise people continue to learn all that they can, but when foolish people speak, they soon cause trouble.
Hoopaa ka poe akamai i ka ike; A o ka waha o ka mea lapuwale, kokoke ia i ka make.
15 The wealth that rich people have [protects them like a city is protected by a] strong wall around it [MET], but people who are poor suffer much [because they have no one to help them].
O ka waiwai o ka mea waiwai, oia kona kulanakauhale paa; O ka poino o ka poe ilihune, o ko lakou nele no ia.
16 If you are righteous, your reward will be a good life, [but] all that sinful people gain is to sin more.
O ka hana a ka mea pono, pili no ia i ke ola; O ka hua o ka mea hewa, pili no ia i ka make.
17 Those who pay attention when others try to (correct them/teach them what they are doing that is wrong) will live (happily/for many years); but those who reject being rebuked will not find the road to life (OR, cause others to go astray).
Ma ka aoao o ke ola ka mea i malama i ke ao ana mai; O ka mea i pale ae i ke ao ana, ua hana lapuwale oia.
18 Those who will not admit that they hate [others] are liars, and those who slander [others] are foolish.
O ka mea huna i ka huhu me na lehelehe wahahee, A ahiahi wale aku, oia ka lapuwale.
19 When people talk a lot, that will lead them to sin a lot [by what they say]; if you are wise, you will refuse to say very much.
I ka nui o na huaolelo, aole loa e ole ka hewa; O ka mea hamau i kona mau lehelehe, e naauao no ia.
20 What righteous/good [people] say [MTY] is [as valuable as] pure silver [MET]; what wicked [people] think is worthless.
O ke elelo o ka mea pono, he kala maikai ia; O ka naau o ka poe hewa, he wahi mea iki wale no ia.
21 What righteous [people] say [MTY] benefits many [people], but foolish people die because of the stupid [things that they do].
O na lehelehe o ka mea pono, hanai no i na mea he nui; O ka poe lapuwale, no ka noonoo ole e make ana lakou.
22 Yahweh blesses [some people] by enabling them to become rich, and working hard will not make them to become richer (OR, and he will not also cause them to become sad).
O ka hoomaikai o Iehova, oia ka mea e waiwai ai, Aole hoi mea e eha ai ka manao malaila.
23 Foolish people (have fun/enjoy) doing what is wrong, but wise/sensible people enjoy doing what is wise.
Ua akaaka ka mea lapuwale, ke hana kolohe; O ke akamai, na ke kanaka ike no ia.
24 Righteous [people] will get the good things that they want/desire, but what wicked [people] are afraid of is what will happen to them.
O ka weliweli o ka mea hewa, e hookoia auanei ia maluna ona; O ka manaolana o ka mea pono, e hooiaioia mai ia nona.
25 When storms come, the wicked will (be blown away/never be safe), but righteous [people will] be safe forever.
E like me ka holo ana aku o ka puahiohio, pela ka mea hewa, aole ia; Aka, o ka mea pono, na onipaa ia a mau loa no.
26 We do not like a lazy person who refuses to do the job that he is given to do, [just] like we do not like vinegar in our mouths or smoke in our eyes.
E like me ka vinega i na niho, A me ka uahi i na maka, Pela ka mea molowa i ka poe nana ia e hoounauna aku.
27 If you revere Yahweh, you will live for a long time; but wicked [people] die before they become old.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka mea e nui ai na la; O na makahiki o ka poe hewa, e hoopokoleia.
28 Righteous [people] confidently expect [that good things will happen to them], and that causes them to be happy/joyful; but when wicked [people] confidently expect something good to happen, it does not happen.
O ka manaolana o ka poe pono, he hauoli ia; O ka manaolana o ka poe hewa, e pio no ia.
29 Yahweh protects [MET] those who live righteously, but he destroys those who do what is evil.
O ka aoao o Iehova, o ka mea ia i ikaika ai ka mea pono; O ka make hoi ia i ka poe hana hewa.
30 Righteous [people] will always be secure [LIT], but wicked people will be removed from their land (OR, from this earth).
E mau ana ka mea pono, aole ia e naue ae; O ka poe hewa, aole no lakou ka honua.
31 Righteous people [MTY] say things that are wise, but [God] will shut the mouths of people [MTY] who say what is not true.
O ka waha o ka mea pono, hoike mai ia i ka naauao; A o ke elelo hoinoino, e okiia ae.
32 Righteous people [MTY] know what to say that is acceptable, but wicked [people] [MTY] are [constantly] saying things that are not true.
O na lehelehe o ka mea pono, ua hoikeike i ka mea oluolu; A o ka waha o ka poe hewa i ka inoino.
