Proverbs 14
1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.
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 feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways 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 rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve 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 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by 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 lie: but a false witness will utter lies.
O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy to him that understandeth.
Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him 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 fools is deceit.
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 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.
Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
10 The heart knoweth its own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with its joy.
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 wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle 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 which seemeth right to a man, but the end of it 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 is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.
I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
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 man 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 departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is 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 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: 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 prudent are crowned 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 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked 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 The poor is hated even by his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.
Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, 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 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.
Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to poverty.
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 riches: but the foolishness of fools 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 true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.
Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: 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 fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from 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 people is the king’s honour: but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of 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 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.
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 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.
Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made 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 sin is a reproach to any people.
Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
35 The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
