Solomona 13
1 O KE keiki akamai, aia no ia ma ke aoia e kona makuakane; O ka mea hoowahawaha, aole ia e hoolohe i ke aoia mai.
A wise son listeneth to the instruction of his father; But a scoffer listeneth not to rebuke.
2 Ma ka hua o ka waha e ai ai ke kanaka i ka maikai: E ai ka uhane o ka poe aia i ka poino.
By the fruit of a man's mouth he shall eat good; But the appetite of transgressors shall be sated with violence.
3 O ka mea malama i kona waha, malama no ia i kona uhane; O ka mea hoohamama i ka waha, e loaa ia ia ka make.
He who keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; But destruction shall be to him who openeth wide his lips.
4 Makemake wale ka uhane o ka mea hiamoe, aole i loaa; O ka uhane o ka poe hana mau, e maona no ia.
The appetite of the sluggard longeth, and hath nothing; But the appetite of the diligent is fully satisfied.
5 Ua inaina mai ka mea pono i ka olelo wahahee; O ka mea hewa la, he hoopailua ia a me ka hilahila.
A righteous man hateth words of falsehood; But a wicked man causeth disgrace and shame.
6 Na ka pono e kiai i ka mea hele pololei; Na ka hewa hoi e hoohiolo i ka mea lawehala.
Righteousness preserveth him who is upright in his way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7 Hoowaiwai kekahi ia ia iho, aole nae he wahi mea ia ia; Hoonele hoi kekahi ia ia iho, a nui no nae kana waiwai.
There is who maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing, Who maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8 O ka panai ana o ko ke kanaka ola, o kona waiwai no ia; O ka mea ilihune, aole ia e hoolohe i ke aoia mai.
A man's wealth is the ransom of his life; But the poor man heareth no threatenings.
9 O ka malamalama o ka poe pono, he mea hoohauoli ia; O ke kukui o ka poe hewa, e pio auauei ia.
The light of the righteous shall rejoice; But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Ma ka haaheo wale no ka hakaka; Ma ka poe kukakuka pono ka naauao.
By pride cometh only contention; But with the well-advised is wisdom.
11 E hele liilii ka waiwai i haapuka wale ia; O ka mea hoiliili ma ka hana, e mahuahua no.
Wealth gotten by vanity will become small; But he who gathereth it into the hand increaseth it.
12 O ka manaolana i hoopaneeia, oia ka mea e maule ai ka naau; A hiki mai ka mea i makemakeia, oia ka laau o ke ola.
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But the desire accomplished is a tree of life.
13 O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka olelo, e make no ia; O ka mea makau aku i ke kanawai, e ukuia oia,
He that despiseth the word shall be destroyed; But he who revereth the commandment shall be rewarded.
14 O ke ao ana o ke kanaka naauao, he punawai ola ia, He mea hoi e pakele ai i na pahele o ka make.
The instruction of the wise is a fountain of life; By it men escape from the snares of death.
15 Ma ka noonoo pono i loaa'i ka lokomaikaiia mai; O ka aoao o ka poe aia, he pilikia ia.
A good understanding winneth favor; But the way of transgressors is hard.
16 E haua no na mea noonoo a pau ma ka ike; O ka naaupo hoi ka i hoike aku i ka lapuwale.
Every prudent man acteth with knowledge; But a fool spreadeth abroad his folly.
17 O ke kukini hewa, haule oia i ka lalau, O ka elele oiaio hoi, oia ka mea e pono ai.
A wicked messenger falleth into trouble; But a faithful ambassador is health.
18 He ilihune a he hilahila i ka mea haalele i ke aoia mai; O ka mea malama i ke aoia mai, e hoomaikaiia mai oia.
Poverty and shame are for him who rejecteth instruction; But he that regardeth reproof shall come to honor.
19 O ka makemake i loaa mai, he ono no ia i ka uhane; He mea hoowahawaha i ka poe lapuwale, ka haalele i ka hewa.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul; But it is an abomination to fools to depart from evil.
20 O ka mea hele pu me ka poe akamai, akamai no ia; O ka hoalauna o ka poe lapuwale, e mahuahua ka hewa.
He who walketh with wise men shall be wise; But the companion of fools shall be destroyed.
21 Hahai ka poino i ka poe hewa; E ukuia ka poe pono i ka pomaikai.
Calamity pursueth the wicked; But the righteous is rewarded with good.
22 E hooili mai ko ka mea maikai no kana poe mamo; Ua waihoia hoi na ka poe pono ka waiwai o ka mea hewa.
The good man leaveth his substance to his children's children; But the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.
23 O ka ai nui, aia ma ka mahiai o ka poe ilihune; Lilo wale hoi kekahi no ka noonoo ole.
There is much food from the fallow-ground of the poor; But there is who is brought low for want of uprightness.
24 O ka mea hookaaokoa i ka laau hahau, oia ke aloha ole i kana keiki; O ka mea aloha ia ia, imi no ia i ke aoia mai nona.
He that spareth the rod hateth his son; But he who loveth him chasteneth him early.
25 E ai no ka poe pono, a maona kona uhane, O ka opu o ka poe hewa, e nele ia i ka ai ole.
The righteous man eateth to the satisfying of his desire; But the stomach of the wicked suffereth want.
