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 the 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 his uprightness fears Adonai, but he who is perverse 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 fool’s talk 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 no oxen are, the crib is clean, but much increase is by the strength of the ox.
5 O ka mea hoike oiaio, aole oia e wahahee; E hai wahahee mai no ka mea hoike hoopunipuni.
A truthful witness will not lie, but a false witness pours out lies.
6 Imi ae la ka mea hoowahawaha i ke akamai, aole loaa; He hikiwawe no ka ike i ka mea naauao.
A scoffer seeks wisdom, and does not find it, but knowledge comes easily to a discerning person.
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, for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.
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 think about his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
9 Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.
Fools mock at making atonement for faults incurring guilt, but among the upright there is good will.
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 joy; he will not share these with a stranger.
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 overthrown, 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 which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to 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 be sorrowful, and mirth may end in heaviness.
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 unfaithful will be repaid for his own ways; likewise a good man will be 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.
A simple man trusts everything, but the prudent man carefully considers his ways.
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 shuns evil, but the fool is hot headed 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.
He who is quick to become angry will commit folly, and a crafty 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 down before the good, and the wicked at the gates of the upright.
20 Ua inainaia ka mea ilihune e kona hoanoho; O ka mea waiwai, lehulehu kona poe makamaka.
The poor person is shunned even by his own neighbor, but the rich person has many 'ahav ·affectionate lovers, friends·.
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 ·errs (the standard goal)·, but blessed is he who has mercy on the poor.
22 Aole anei he lalau wale ko ka poe imi hewa? He aloha a he oiaio na ka poe imi maikai.
Don’t they go astray who plot evil? But chesed ·loving-kindness· and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
23 Ma ka hana a pau he waiwai no; Aka, o ke kamailio wale o na lehelehe, pili i ka ilihune wale no.
In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips 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 riches, but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.
25 Hoopakele i na uhane ka mea hoike oiaio; O ka mea hoike wahahee, hoopunipuni no ia.
A truthful witness saves souls, but a false witness is deceitful.
26 Ma ka makau ia Iehova, malaila ka paulele nui; He puuhonua hoi ia na kana poe keiki.
In the fear of Adonai is a secure fortress, and he will be a refuge for his children.
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 Adonai is a fountain of life, turning people 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.
In the multitude of people is the king’s glory, but in the lack of people is the destruction of the prince.
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.
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a quick temper displays folly.
30 O ke ola no ke kino, oia ka naau oluolu, O ka lili, oia ka popopo o na iwi.
The life of the body is a heart at peace, 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.
He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who honors him shows mercy to the needy.
32 Hookukeia ka mea hewa iloko o kona hewa; Lana hoi ka manao o ka mea pono i kona make ana.
The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the upright has a refuge.
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 one who has understanding, and is even made known in the inward part of fools.
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 habitual sin ·missing the mark· is a chesed ·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.
The king’s favor is toward a servant who deals wisely, but his wrath is toward one who causes shame.
