Solomona 14
1 O KA wahine naauao, oia ke kukulu i kona hale; Wawahi iho la ka mea naaupo me kona mau lima.
Every wise woman builds her house, but a foolish one tears it down with her own hands.
2 O ka mea hele ma kona pololei, oia ka i makau ia Iehova; O ka mea i hookekee i kona aoao, oia ka i hoowahawaha ia ia.
He who walks in uprightness fears the LORD, but the one who is devious in his ways despises Him.
3 Ma ka waha o ka mea naaupo, he laau hahau ka haaheo; O na lehelehe o ka poe naauao, oia ke malama aku ia lakou.
The proud speech of a fool brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.
4 I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.
Where there are no oxen, the manger is empty, but an abundant harvest comes through the strength of the ox.
5 O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
An honest witness does not deceive, but a dishonest witness pours forth lies.
6 Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
A mocker seeks wisdom and finds none, but knowledge comes easily to the discerning.
7 E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech.
8 O ke akamai o ka mea ike, oia ka hoomaopopo ana i kona aoao; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, oia ka hoopunipuni.
The wisdom of the prudent is to discern his way, but the folly of fools deceives them.
9 Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
Fools mock the making of amends, but goodwill is found among the upright.
10 Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
The heart knows its own bitterness, and no stranger shares in its joy.
11 O ka hale o ka poe hewa, e hoohioloia; O ka halelewa o ka poe pololei, e paa mau no ia,
The house of the wicked will be destroyed, but the tent of the upright will flourish.
12 O kekahi aoao, he pololei ia i kanaka; O kona hope hoi, oia ka aoao o ka make.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.
13 I ka akaaka ana, he ehaeha ko ka naau; O ka hope hoi o ia lealea, oia ke kaumaha.
Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in sorrow.
14 E hoopihaia auauei ka naau o ka mea hoi hope i kona aoaoiho; A o ke kanaka maikai hoi i kona hua iho.
The backslider in heart receives the fill of his own ways, but a good man is rewarded for his ways.
15 Manaoio no ka mea noonoo ole i na olelo a pau; Aka, o ka mea maalea, nana pono oia i kona hele ana.
The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps.
16 O ka mea naauao, makau no ia, a haalele i ka hewa; O ka mea lapuwale hoi, he haaheo kona a me ka makau ole.
A wise man fears and turns from evil, but a fool is careless and reckless.
17 O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.
A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a devious man is hated.
18 E ili mai ka lapuwale no ka poe noonoo ole; E kau hoi ka ike me he lei la maluna o ka poe naauao.
The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.
19 Kulou ae ka poe hewa imua i ke alo o ka poe maikai; O ka poe aia hoi ma ka ipuka o ka mea pono.
The evil bow before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
20 Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
The poor man is hated even by his neighbor, but many are those who love the rich.
21 O ka mea hoowahawaha i kona hoanoho, ua hewa oia; O ka mea lokomaikai aku i ka mea i nele, pomaikai oia.
He who despises his neighbor sins, but blessed is he who shows kindness to the poor.
22 Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
Do not those who contrive evil go astray? But those who plan goodness find loving devotion and faithfulness.
23 Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
24 O ka lei o ka poe akamai, oia ko lakou waiwai; O ka lapuwale o ka poe naaupo, he lapuwale wale iho no ia.
The crown of the wise is their wealth, but the effort of fools is folly.
25 Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
A truthful witness saves lives, but one who utters lies is deceitful.
26 Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
He who fears the LORD is secure in confidence, and his children shall have a place of refuge.
27 O ka makau ia Iehova, he punawai ola ia, He mea ia e haalele ai i na pahele o ka make.
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, turning a man from the snares of death.
28 Ma ka lehulehu o na kanaka ka hanohano o ke alii, A i ole na kanaka ua make ke alii.
A large population is a king’s splendor, but a lack of subjects is a prince’s ruin.
29 O ka mea uumi i ka huhu, oia ka noonoo nui; O ka mea hikiwawe i ka huhu, oia ke hoike i ka lapuwale.
A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man promotes folly.
30 O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
A tranquil heart is life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
31 O ka mea hookaumaha i ka mea nele, oia ka i hoowahawaha i ka Mea nana ia i hana; O ka mea malama aku ia ia, oia ke aloha i ka mea ilihune.
Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors Him.
32 Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
The wicked man is thrown down by his own sin, but the righteous man has a refuge even in death.
33 Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
Wisdom rests in the heart of the discerning; even among fools she is known.
34 Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
35 O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.
