1 O NA olelo akamai a Solomona ke keiki a Davida ke alii o ka Iseraela.
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, the king of Israel.
2 He mea ia e ike ai i ka noiau a me ke aoia mai, E hoomaopopo i na olelo e naauao ai;
These proverbs are to teach wisdom and instruction, to teach words of insight,
3 E loaa'i ka ike e akamai ai, Ma ka pono a me ka hoopono, a me ka pololei;
that you may receive instruction in order to live by doing what is right, just, and fair.
4 E haawi i ka maalea i ka poe naaupo, A me ka ike, a me ka noonoo i ke kanaka ui.
These proverbs are also to give wisdom to the naive, and to give knowledge and discretion to young people.
5 E hoolohe ka mea naauao, a mahuahua ka ike, E loaa no i ka mea i aoia'i ka ike o naauao ai;
Let wise people listen and increase their learning, and let discerning people get guidance,
6 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.
to understand proverbs, sayings, and words of wise people and their riddles.
7 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.
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge— fools despise wisdom and instruction.
8 E kuu keiki, e hooloke mai i ke ao ana a kou makuakane, Aole hoi e haalele i ke kanawai o kou maku wahine;
My son, hear the instruction of your father and do not lay aside the rules of your mother;
9 No ka mea, he mea nani ia no kou poo, He mau lei hoi no kou a-i.
they will be a graceful wreath for your head and pendants hanging from your neck.
10 E kuu keiki, ina e hoowale wale mai ka poe hewa ia oe, Mai ae aku oe.
My son, if sinners try to entice you into their sin, refuse to follow them.
11 Ina lakou e olelo mai, E, e hele pu kakou, E hoohalua no ke koko, E hoohalua wale i ka mea hala ole;
If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide and attack innocent people for no reason.
12 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)
Let us swallow them up alive, like Sheol takes away those who are healthy, and make them like those who fall into the pit. (Sheol h7585)
13 E loaa ia kakou ka waiwai maikai he nui, E hoopiha i ko kakou mau hale me ka waiwai pio;
We shall find all kinds of valuable things; we will fill our houses with what we steal from others.
14 E hailona pu oe me makou i kou kuleana, I hookahi hipuu na kakou a pau:
Throw in your lot with us; we will all have one purse together.”
15 E kuu kiekie e, mai hele pu oe mo lakou ma ke ala; E haalele kou wawae i ko lakou mau kuamoo;
My son, do not walk down that road with them; do not let your foot touch where they walk;
16 No ka mea, holo kiki ko lakou wawae i ka hewa, Wikiwiki hoi lakou i ka hookahe koko.
their feet run to evil and they hurry to shed blood.
17 Make hewa no ke kau ana i ka hei, Ma ke alo o na mea eheu a pau.
For it is useless to spread the net in the sight of any bird.
18 Moe malu lakou no ko lakou koko; Makaala hoi no na uhane o lakou.
These men lie in wait for their own blood— they set an ambush for their own lives.
19 Pela ka aoao o ka poe makee waiwai a pau, E kaili ana i ke ola o ka mea nona ia.
So are the ways of everyone who gains riches by injustice; unjust gain takes away the lives of those who hold on to it.
20 Hea ae la ka naauao mawaho; Pane mai kona leo ma ke alanui;
Wisdom cries aloud in the street, she raises her voice in the open places;
21 Ma ka welau o na ala oia e kahea mai ai: Ma na kahua o na puka kulanakauhale kana olelo ana, I mai la,
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out, at the entrance of the city gates she speaks,
22 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?
“How long, you naive people, will you love being naive? How long, you mockers, will you delight in mockery, and how long, you fools, will you hate knowledge?
23 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.
Pay attention to my correction; I will pour out my thoughts to you; I will make my words known to you.
24 I ko'u wa i hea aku ai, hoole mai oukou; Kikoo aku la au i ko'u lima, aohe mea i manao mai;
I have called, and you have refused to listen; I reached out with my hand, but there was no one who paid attention.
25 Haalele oukou i ko'u mau manao a pau, Aole hoi oukou i makemake i ka'u ao ana:
But you have ignored all my instruction and paid no attention to my correction.
26 Nolaila, i ko oukou popilikia e akaaka au, E hoowahawaha au i ka hiki ana o ko oukou makau;
I will laugh at your calamity, I will mock you when the terror comes—
27 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:
when your fearful dread comes like a storm and disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 Alaila, e hea mai lakou ia'u, aole au e pane aku; E imi koke lakou ia'u aole e loaa mai;
Then they will call upon me, and I will not answer; they will desperately call for me, but they will not find me.
29 No ka mea, hoowahawaha lakou i ka ike, A o ka makau ia Iehova, aole lakou i koho mai;
Because they hate knowledge and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
30 Aole o lakou makemake i ka'u ao ana; Manao ino hoi i ka'u mau olelo a pau.
they would not follow my instruction, and they despised all my correction.
31 Nolaila, e ai lakou i ka hua o ko lakou aoao iho, A ma ko ka manao ana o lakou e maona ai.
They will eat the fruit of their ways, and with the fruit of their schemes they will be filled.
32 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.
For the naive are killed when they turn away, and the indifference of fools will destroy them.
33 Aka, o ka mea hoolohe mai ia'u. e noho oluolu no ia, E noho no ia me ka makau ole i ka poino.
But whoever listens to me will live in safety and will rest secure with no fear of disaster.”
