Proverbs 1
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
O NA olelo akamai a Solomona ke keiki a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela.
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
He mea ia e ike ai i ka noiau a me ke aoia mai, E hoomaopopo i na olelo e naauao ai;
3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
E loaa'i ka ike e akamai ai, Ma ka pono a me ka hoopono, a me ka pololei;
4 To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
E haawi i ka maalea i ka poe naaupo, A me ka ike, a me ka noonoo i ke kanaka ui.
5 A wise [man] will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain to wise counsels:
E hoolohe ka mea naauao, a mahuahua ka ike, E loaa no i ka mea i aoia'i ka ike o naauao ai;
6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
E ike i ka olelo akamai a me ka hoakaka ana o ia mea, I na olelo a ka poe naauao, a me ka lakou olelo pohihi.
7 The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka hoomaka ana o ka ike; A o ka naauao. a me ke aoia mai, ua hoowahawahaia e ka poe lapuwale.
8 My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
E kuu keiki, e hooloke mai i ke ao ana a kou makuakane, Aole hoi e haalele i ke kanawai o kou maku wahine;
9 For they [shalt be] an ornament of grace to thy head, and chains about thy neck.
No ka mea, he mea nani ia no kou poo, He mau lei hoi no kou a-i.
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
E kuu keiki, ina e hoowale wale mai ka poe hewa ia oe, Mai ae aku oe.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Ina lakou e olelo mai, E, e hele pu kakou, E hoohalua no ke koko, E hoohalua wale i ka mea hala ole;
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: (Sheol h7585)
E moni ola ia lakou me he malu make, E moni okoa hoi e like me ka poe e haule ana i ka lua: (Sheol h7585)
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
E loaa ia kakou ka waiwai maikai he nui, E hoopiha i ko kakou mau hale me ka waiwai pio;
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
E hailona pu oe me makou i kou kuleana, I hookahi hipuu na kakou a pau:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
E kuu kiekie e, mai hele pu oe mo lakou ma ke ala; E haalele kou wawae i ko lakou mau kuamoo;
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
No ka mea, holo kiki ko lakou wawae i ka hewa, Wikiwiki hoi lakou i ka hookahe koko.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Make hewa no ke kau ana i ka hei, Ma ke alo o na mea eheu a pau.
18 And they lay wait for their [own] blood; they lurk privily for their [own] lives.
Moe malu lakou no ko lakou koko; Makaala hoi no na uhane o lakou.
19 So [are] the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; [who] taketh away the life of its owners.
Pela ka aoao o ka poe makee waiwai a pau, E kaili ana i ke ola o ka mea nona ia.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
Hea ae la ka naauao mawaho; Pane mai kona leo ma ke alanui;
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying],
Ma ka welau o na ala oia e kahea mai ai: Ma na kahua o na puka kulanakauhale kana olelo ana, I mai la,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Pehea ka loihi, e ka poe ike ole, E makemake ai oukou i ka naaupo? A oukou hoi, e ka poe hoowahawaha, E makemake ai i ka hoowahawaha ana? A o oukou, e ka poe naaupo, e inaina aku ai i ka naauao?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit to you, I will make known to you my words.
E huli mai oukou i ka'u ao ana; Aia hoi e niuini aku au i ko'u Uhane maluna o oukou. E hoike aku hoi ia oukou i ka'u mau olelo.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
I ko'u wa i hea aku ai, hoole mai oukou; Kikoo aku la au i ko'u lima, aohe mea i manao mai;
25 But ye have set at naught all my counsel, and rejected my reproof:
Haalele oukou i ko'u mau manao a pau, Aole hoi oukou i makemake i ka'u ao ana:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Nolaila, i ko oukou popilikia e akaaka au, E hoowahawaha au i ka hiki ana o ko oukou makau;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
A hiki mai ko oukou makau me he mea ino la, A hookokoke mai ko oukou popilikia me he puahiohio la, A loohia oukou e ka pilihua a me ke kaumaha:
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Alaila, e hea mai lakou ia'u, aole au e pane aku; E imi koke lakou ia'u aole e loaa mai;
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
No ka mea, hoowahawaha lakou i ka ike, A o ka makau ia Iehova, aole lakou i koho mai;
30 They rejected my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Aole o lakou makemake i ka'u ao ana; Manao ino hoi i ka'u mau olelo a pau.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Nolaila, e ai lakou i ka hua o ko lakou aoao iho, A ma ko ka manao ana o lakou e maona ai.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
No ka mea, o ka haalele ana aku o ka poe naaupo, oia ko lakou pepehiia mai, A o ka noho nanea ana o ka poe lapuwale, o ko lakou make ia.
33 But whoever hearkeneth to me shall dwell in safety, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Aka, o ka mea hoolohe mai ia'u. e noho oluolu no ia, E noho no ia me ka makau ole i ka poino.
