Proverbs 15
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools gush out folly.
O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
3 The LORD’s eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good.
Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
4 A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.
O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
5 A fool despises his father’s correction, but he who heeds reproof shows prudence.
Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
6 In the house of the righteous is much treasure, but the income of the wicked brings trouble.
O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
7 The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.
O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
8 The sacrifice made by the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
9 The way of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD, but he loves him who follows after righteousness.
He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
10 There is stern discipline for one who forsakes the way. Whoever hates reproof shall die.
O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
11 Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD— how much more then the hearts of the children of men! (Sheol h7585)
O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka. (Sheol h7585)
12 A scoffer doesn’t love to be reproved; he will not go to the wise.
Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.
Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
14 The heart of one who has understanding seeks knowledge, but the mouths of fools feed on folly.
O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
15 All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast.
Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
16 Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble.
Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
17 Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred.
Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
18 A wrathful man stirs up contention, but one who is slow to anger appeases strife.
O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
19 The way of the sluggard is like a thorn patch, but the path of the upright is a highway.
O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
20 A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother.
O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
21 Folly is joy to one who is void of wisdom, but a man of understanding keeps his way straight.
O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
22 Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.
Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
23 Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
24 The path of life leads upward for the wise, to keep him from going downward to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
25 The LORD will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.
O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the thoughts of the pure are pleasing.
He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
27 He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes will live.
O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
28 The heart of the righteous weighs answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes out evil.
O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart. Good news gives health to the bones.
O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
31 The ear that listens to reproof lives, and will be at home among the wise.
O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
32 He who refuses correction despises his own soul, but he who listens to reproof gets understanding.
O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
33 The fear of the LORD teaches wisdom. Before honor is humility.
O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
