Solomona 11
1 O KE kaupaona hoopunipuni, he koopailua ia ia Iehova; O ke kaupaona kupono, oia kona makemake.
False balances are an abomination vnto the Lord: but a perfite weight pleaseth him.
2 A hiki mai ka haaheo, alaila hiki mai ka hilahila; Me ka poe naau haahaa hoi ka naauao.
When pride commeth, then commeth shame: but with the lowly is wisdome.
3 O ka pono o ka mea pololei oia kona alakai; Ma ka wahahee hoi e make ai ka poe hoopunipuni.
The vprightnes of the iust shall guide them: but the frowardnes of the transgressers shall destroy them.
4 O ka waiwai, aohe mea ia e pono ai i ka la e inaina mai ai; Aka, o ka pono oia ke hoopakele ae i ka make.
Riches auaile not in the day of wrath: but righteousnes deliuereth from death.
5 O ka pono o ka poe pololei, oia ke kuhikuhi o kona ala; E haule hoi ka mea hewa i kona hewa iho.
The righteousnes of the vpright shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall in his owne wickednes.
6 Ma ka pono e pakele ai ka poe pololei; Ma ke kolohe hoi e heiia'i ka poe aia.
The righteousnesse of the iust shall deliuer them: but the transgressers shall be taken in their owne wickednes.
7 I ka make ana o ke kanaka hewa, pau kona manaolana; E poho no hoi ka manao o ka poe hewa.
When a wicked man dieth, his hope perisheth, and the hope of the vniust shall perish.
8 Laweia'ku ka mea pono mai ka popilikia aku, A hiki mai ka mea hewa ma kona hakahaka.
The righteous escapeth out of trouble, and the wicked shall come in his steade.
9 Ma ka waha o ka aia e make ai kona hoa; Ma ka ike oiaio hoi e pakele ai ka poe pono.
An hypocrite with his mouth hurteth his neighbour: but the righteous shall be deliuered by knowledge.
10 I ka lanakila ana o ka poe pono e hauoli ke kulanakauhale; I ke pio ana o ka poe hewa he olioli no.
In the prosperitie of the righteous the citie reioyceth, and when the wicked perish, there is ioye.
11 Ma ka hoomaikaiia mai o ka poe pololei, E hookiekieia ke kulanakauhale; Ma ka waha o ka poe hewa, ua hoohioloia.
By the blessing of the righteous, the citie is exalted: but it is subuerted by the mouth of the wicked.
12 O ka mea hailiili aku i kona hoanoho, he naaupo ia; A o ke kanaka naauao, noho hamau oia;
He that despiseth his neighbour, is destitute of wisedome: but a man of vnderstanding will keepe silence.
13 O ka mea holoholo olelo, hai wale aku ia i na mea huna; O ka mea manao oiaio, e huna ana no oia.
Hee that goeth about as a slanderer, discouereth a secret: but hee that is of a faithfull heart concealeth a matter.
14 Ma kahi e ahaolelo ole ai, e haule na kanaka; Ma ka lehulehu o ka poe kukakuka he maluhia.
Where no counsell is, the people fall: but where many counsellers are, there is health.
15 E hihia no ka mea pai lima me ka malihini; A o ka mea hoole i ke pai lima ana, ua pakele ia.
Hee shall be sore vexed, that is suretie for a stranger, and he that hateth suretiship, is sure.
16 O ka wahine lokomaikai, e loaa io no ka mahaloia mai; E loaa no hoi ka waiwai i ka poe hana ikaika.
A gracious woman atteineth honour, and the strong men atteine riches.
17 O ka mea minamina i kona uhane iho, he kanaka lokomaikai oia; O ka mea hoino i kona kino, he aloha ole kona.
Hee that is mercifull, rewardeth his owne soule: but he that troubleth his own flesh, is cruel.
18 O ka mea hewa, he hana inea kana; O ka mea lulu i ka pono, he uku oiaio kona.
The wicked worketh a deceitful worke: but hee that soweth righteousnes, shall receiue a sure rewarde.
19 E like me ka pili ana o ka pono i ke ola, Pela e pili ai ka make i ka mea hana hewa.
As righteousnes leadeth to life: so hee that followeth euill, seeketh his owne death.
20 He mea hoopailua ia Iehova ka poe naau hoopunipuni; Aka, o ka poe i pololei ka aoao, oia kona makemake.
They that are of a froward heart, are abomination to the Lord: but they that are vpright in their way, are his delite.
21 Ina e kui kahi lima i kekahi lima, aole nae e hoopakeleia ka mea hewa; O ka mamo hoi o ka poe pono, e hoopakeleia oia.
Though hande ioyne in hande, the wicked shall not be vnpunished: but the seede of the righteous shall escape.
22 Me he apo gula la ma ka ihu o ka puaa, Pela ka wahine i maikai ka maka a nele i ka noonoo ole.
As a iewell of golde in a swines snoute: so is a faire woman, which lacketh discretion.
23 O ka makemake o ka mea pono, he hope maikai kona; O ka manaolana hoi o ka poe hewa, he inainaia mai ka hope.
The desire of the righteous is onely good: but the hope of the wicked is indignation.
24 Hoohelelei kekahi, a nui hou ae no nae; Aua hoi kekahi i ka mea ku ole i ka pono, a o ka nele ka hope.
There is that scattereth, and is more increased: but hee that spareth more then is right, surely commeth to pouertie.
25 O ka mea e hoomanawalea aku, e momona ia; A o ka mea e hoomauu aku, e hoomauuia mai oia.
The liberall person shall haue plentie: and he that watereth, shall also haue raine.
26 O ka mea aua i ka ai, e hoino na kanaka ia ia; E kau ana hoi ka hoomaikaiia mai ma ke poo o ka mea kuai aku.
He that withdraweth the corne, the people will curse him: but blessing shalbe vpon the head of him that selleth corne.
27 O ka mea imi i ka maikai, imi no ia i ke alohaia mai; O ka mea imi i ka hewa, e hiki mai no ia io na la.
He that seeketh good things, getteth fauour: but he that seeketh euill, it shall come to him.
28 O ka mea paulele i kona waiwai, e haule oia; Aka, me he lala laau la e ulu ai ka poe pono.
He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall: but the righteous shall florish as a leafe.
29 O ka mea hoonaukiuki i ko kona hale, e ili mai nona ka makani; E hookauwa aku auanei ka naaupo na ka mea naauao.
He that troubleth his owne house, shall inherite the winde, and the foole shalbe seruant to the wise in heart.
30 O ka hua no ka pono, oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka mea hoohuli i na uhane, oia ke akamai.
The fruite of the righteous is as a tree of life, and he that winneth soules, is wise.
31 Aia hoi, e hooukuia ka mea pono ma ka honua; Pela no a oi aku ka mea hewa a me ka ino.
Beholde, the righteous shalbe recompensed in the earth: howe much more the wicked and the sinner?
