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, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.
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 that walketh in his uprightness, is one who revereth Yahweh, but, he that is crooked in his way, is one who despiseth him.

In the mouth of the foolish, is a haughty rod, but, as for the lips of the wise, thou shalt give heed to them!
4 I ole na bipi, kaawale ka hale waihona ai, A ua nui hoi ka waiwai ma ka ikaika o ka bipi.

7 E huli ae oe mai ke alo aku o ke kauaka lapuwale, Ke hoomaopopo ole oe i na lehelehe ike.
Get thee from the presence of a man that is a dullard, when thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge.
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 understand his way, but, the folly of dullards, is a fraud.
9 Akaaka ka poe lapuwale i ka hewa; Me ka poe hoopololei ka hoomaikaiia.

10 Ua ike ka naau i ke kaumaha o kona uhane iho; Aohe hoi i mea mai ka malihini i kona olioli.
The heart, knoweth its own bitterness, and, in its joy, no stranger shareth.
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 lawless, shall be destroyed, but, the tent of the upright, shall 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 enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways 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 be in pain, and, the latter end of gladness, be grief.

With his own ways, shall be filled the backslider in heart, and, from himself, shall a good man [be satisfied].

The simple, believeth every word, but, the prudent, looketh well to his going.
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, feareth, and avoideth evil, but, a dullard, is haughty and confident.
17 O ka hiki wawe o ka huhu, oia ka hana lapuwale; O ke kanaka imi i na manao hewa, ua inaina oia.

He that sheweth contempt for his neighbour, sinneth, but, he that sheweth favour to the afflicted, how happy is he!

Shall they not, become vagrants, who devise evil? but, lovingkindness and faithfulness, [be to] them who devise good.

By all labour, there will be abundance, but, the talk of the lips, tendeth only to want.

By his own wickedness, shall the lawless man, be thrust down, but the righteous, seeketh refuge in his integrity.
33 Noho no ka naauao ma ka naau o ka mea noonoo; Ua ikea hoi ko loko o ka poe lapuwale.
In the heart of the intelligent, reposeth wisdom, but, in the midst of dullards, it maketh itself known.
34 Hookiekie ae la ka pono i ka lahuikanaka; O ka hewa hoi ka mea e hoowahawahaia'i na kanaka.
Righteousness, exalteth a nation, but, a reproach to any people, is sin.
35 O ka makemake o ke alii, aia i ke kauwa naauao; O kona huhu aia i ka mea e hilahila ai.
The good-pleasure of a king, is due to a servant who is discreet, but, his indignation, shall be against him that bringeth shame.
