< Proverbs 23 >

1 Whanne thou sittist, to ete with the prince, perseyue thou diligentli what thingis ben set bifore thi face,
I KOU noho iho ana e ai pu me ke alii, E noonoo pono i na mea imua ou:
2 and sette thou a withholding in thi throte. If netheles thou hast power on thi soule,
A e kau i ka pahi ma kahi i moni ai, Ke pololi oe.
3 desire thou not of his metis, in whom is the breed of `a leesing.
Aka, mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono; He wahi ni hoopunipuni no ia.
4 Nyle thou trauele to be maad riche, but sette thou mesure to thi prudence.
Mai hooikaika i waiwai ai; E hoole i kou naauao iho.
5 Reise not thin iyen to richessis, whiche thou maist not haue; for tho schulen make to hem silf pennes, as of an egle, and tho schulen flee in to heuene.
E kau anei oe i kou mau maka ma ka mea e ole ana? No ka mea, e hana io no ia mea i mau eheu nona iho; Me he aeto la e lele aku ai i ka lewa.
6 Ete thou not with an enuyouse man, and desire thou not hise metis;
Mai ai oe i ka ai a ka mea maka ino; Mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono;
7 for at the licnesse of a fals dyuynour and of a coniectere, he gessith that, that he knowith not. He schal seie to thee, Ete thou and drinke; and his soule is not with thee.
No ka mea, e like me ia i noonoo ai ma kona naau, pela no ia; E ai oe, ea, a e inu oe, wahi ana ia oe, Aka, aole me oe kona naau.
8 Thou schalt brake out the metis, whiche thou hast ete; and thou schalt leese thi faire wordis.
O ka mamala ai au i moni iho ai e luai hou aku oe; A e lilo wale kau mau olelo oluolu.
9 Speke thou not in the eeris of vnwise men; for thei schulen dispise the teching of thi speche.
Mai hai aku oe i na pepeiao o ka mea lapuwale; No ka mea, e hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei o kau olelo.
10 Touche thou not the termes of litle children; and entre thou not in to the feeld of fadirles and modirles children.
Mai hooneenee ae oe i na mokuna aina kahiko; Ma na kihapai o ka poe makua ole, mai komo oe.
11 For the neiybore of hem is strong, and he schal deme her cause ayens thee.
No ka mea, o ka lakou Hoola he mana no kona; Nana no e hooponopono iwaena o lakou a me oe.
12 Thin herte entre to techyng, and thin eeris `be redi to the wordis of kunnyng.
E haliu ae i kou naau i ke aoia mai, A me kou mau pepeiao hoi i na olelo e naauao ai.
13 Nile thou withdrawe chastisyng fro a child; for thouy thou smyte hym with a yerde, he schal not die.
Mai waiho oe i ka hooponopono ana i ke keiki; No ka mea, ina e haua oe ia ia me ka laau, aole ia e make.
14 Thou schalt smyte hym with a yerde, and thou schalt delyuere his soule fro helle. (Sheol h7585)
E haua oe ia ia me ka laau, A e hoopakele i kona uhane i ka lua. (Sheol h7585)
15 Mi sone, if thi soule is wijs, myn herte schal haue ioye with thee;
E kuu keiki e, ina e naauao kou naau, E hauoli io no ka naau o'u:
16 and my reynes schulen make ful out ioye, whanne thi lippis speken riytful thing.
E olioli io ko'u mau puhaka, Ke hai aku kou mau lehelehe i na mea pololei.
17 Thin herte sue not synneris; but be thou in the drede of the Lord al dai.
Mai huahua kou naau i ka poe hewa; Aka, e noho mau oe me ka makau ia Iehova a po ka la.
18 For thou schalt haue hope at the laste, and thin abidyng schal not be don awei.
No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ka hope; A e pio ole ana no kou manaolana.
19 Mi sone, here thou, and be thou wijs, and dresse thi soule in the weie.
E hoolohe mai oe, e ka'u keiki, e hoonaauao iho, E hoopololei i kou naau ma ke ala.
20 Nyle thou be in the feestis of drinkeris, nether in the ofte etyngis of hem, that bryngen togidere fleischis to ete.
Mai noho pu oe me ka poe inu waina; Me ka poe hoopalupalu i ko lakou kino iho.
21 For men yyuynge tent to drinkis, and yyuyng mussels togidere, schulen be waastid, and napping schal be clothid with clothis.
No ka mea, o ka mea ona a me ka mea pakela ai, e ilihune auanei oia; A no ka palaualelo e komo kekahi i na weluwelu.
22 Here thi fadir, that gendride thee; and dispise not thi modir, whanne sche is eld.
E hoolohe i kou makuakane ka mea nana mai oe; Mai hoowahawaha oe i ka luwahine ana o kou makuwahine.
23 Bie thou treuthe, and nyle thou sille wisdom, and doctryn, and vndurstonding.
E kuai lilo mai i ka oiaio, mai kuai lilo aku; I ka naauao hoi a me ke aoia mai a me ka ike.
24 The fadir of a iust man ioieth ful out with ioie; he that gendride a wijs man, schal be glad in hym.
E hauoli nui ka makuakane o ka mea pono; O ka mea i hanau mai uana ke keiki naauao, he olioli no kona.
25 Thi fadir and thi modir haue ioye, and he that gendride thee, make ful out ioye.
E hauoli no kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, E olioli hoi ka mea nana oe i hanau mai.
26 My sone, yyue thin herte to me, and thin iyen kepe my weyes.
E kuu keiki, e haawi mai ia'u i kou naau, E nana mai hoi kou mau maka i ko'u aoao.
27 For an hoore is a deep diche, and an alien womman is a streit pit.
No ka mea, he auwaha hohonu ka wahine hookamakama, He lua ino hoi ka wahine e.
28 Sche settith aspie in the weie, as a theef; and sche schal sle hem, whiche sche schal se vnwar.
Oia ka i hoohalua, me he powa la, Hoonui oia i ka lawehala ana iwaena o na kanaka.
29 To whom is wo? to whos fadir is wo? to whom ben chidingis? to whom ben dichis? to whom ben woundis with out cause? to whom is puttyng out of iyen?
Ia wai la ka uwe ana? Ia wai la ka poino? Ia wai la ka hakaka? Ia wai la ka nuku wale ana? Ia wai la na palapu loaa wale? Ia wai la na maka ulaula?
30 Whether not to hem, that dwellen in wyn, and studien to drynke al of cuppis?
I ka poe e hoomau ana ma ka waina, I ka poe e hele ana e imi i ka waina i kawiliia.
31 Biholde thou not wyn, whanne it sparclith, whanne the colour therof schyneth in a ver.
Mai nana oe i ka waina i kona ulaula ana, I kona aleale ana ma ke kiaha, I kona hu ana a maikai.
32 It entrith swetli, but at the laste it schal bite as an eddre doith, and as a cocatrice it schal schede abrood venyms.
Mahope iho, e nahu mai me he nahesa la, A e pa mai me he moonihoawa la.
33 Thin iyen schulen se straunge wymmen, and thi herte schal speke weiwerd thingis.
E nana auanei kou maka i na wahine e, A e hai aku kou naau i na mea ino.
34 And thou schalt be as a man slepinge in the myddis of the see, and as a gouernour aslepid, whanne the steere is lost.
E lilo ana oe me he mea la i moe iho mawaena konu o ka moana, E like hoi me ka mea i hoomoe ia ia iho ma kahi oioi loa o ke kia moku.
35 And thou schalt seie, Thei beeten me, but Y hadde not sorewe; thei drowen me, and Y feelide not; whanne schal Y wake out, and Y schal fynde wynes eft?
Pepehi mai lakou ia'u, aole au i eha, Hahaua mai lakou ia'u, aole au i ike iho: Ahea la au e ala'i? E imi hou aku no au ia mea.
