Solomona 15
1 O KA olelo akahai, oia ke pale ae i ka huhu; O ka olelo huhu hoi, oia ke hoala ae i ka inaina.
A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
2 O ke elelo o ka poe akamai, hoike pololei aku ia i ka ike; O ka waha hoi o ka poe lapuwale, hu ae la ia i ka lapuwale.
The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.
3 Ma na wahi a pau na maka o Iehova, E haka pono ana i na mea hewa a me na mea maikai
The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
4 O ke elelo akahai oia ka laau o ke ola; O ka awahia iloko o ia mea, oia ka nahae ana o ka uhane.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
5 Hoowahawaha ka mea lapuwale i ke aoia mai e kona makua, O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai, oia ka mea naauao.
A fool despises his father's instruction: but he that regards reproof is prudent.
6 O ka hale o ka mea pono, he waiwai nui; Ma na mea i hoahuia e ka mea hewa, he poino.
In the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.
7 O na lehelehe o ka poe akamai hoolaha no i ka ike; O ka naau o ka poe lapuwale, aole pela.
The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish does not so.
8 O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia ia Iehova; O ka pule a ka poe pololei, oia kona makemake.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
9 He hoopailua ia Iehova ka aoao o ka mea hewa; O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, oia kana mea i aloha ai.
The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD: but he loves him that follows after righteousness.
10 O ka hoopaiia mai, he mea kaumaha ia i ka mea haalele i ka aoao; O ka mea hoowahawaha hoi i ke aoia mai, e make oia.
Correction is grievous unto him that forsakes the way: and he that hates reproof shall die.
11 O ka lua a me ka make, aia no imua o Iehova; Pela io no ka naau o na keiki a na kanaka. (Sheol h7585)
Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men? (Sheol h7585)
12 Aole i aloha aku ka mea hoowahawaha i ka mea i ao mai ia ia; Aole hoi oia e hele i ka poe naauao.
A scorner loves not one that reproves him: neither will he go unto the wise.
13 Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
14 O ka naau o ka mea naauao, imi oia i ka ike; O ka waha o ka poe naaupo, paina no ia i ka lapuwale.
The heart of him that has understanding seeks knowledge: but the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.
15 Poino no na la a pau o ka poe popilikia; O ka mea naau oluolu, he ahaaina mau no kana.
All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart has a continual feast.
16 Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
17 Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith.
18 O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
A wrathful man stirs up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeases strife.
19 O ka aoao o ka mea palaualelo, ua like ia me kahi paapu i na kakalaioa; O ka aoao hoi o ka poe pololei ua hooponoponoia.
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
20 O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish man despises his mother.
21 O ka hana lapuwale, he olioli ia i ka naaupo; O ke kanaka naauao hoi, oia ka i hele pololei.
Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
22 Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
23 He olioli ko ke kanaka ma ka pane ana o kona waha; O ka huaolelo hoi i ka wa kupono, ua maikai ia.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
24 O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath. (Sheol h7585)
25 O ka hale o ka poe haaheo, na Iehova ia e hoohiolo; Hookupaa oia i ka mokuna aina o ka wahinekanemake.
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26 He hoopailua ia Iehova na manao o ka mea hewa; He oluolu nae ka olelo a ka poe maemae.
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
27 O ka mea makee waiwai, hana ino loa oia i ko kona hale; A o ka mea hoowahawaha i na makana, e ola ia.
He that is greedy of gain troubles his own house; but he that hates gifts shall live.
28 O ka naau o ka mea pono, noonoo ia i kaua mea e olelo aku ai; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, hu ae la ia i ka ino.
The heart of the righteous studies to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
29 Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
The LORD is far from the wicked: but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 O ka malamalama o na maka, he mea ia e olioli ai ka naau; A o ka lohe i ka mea maikai, oia ka mea e momona ai na iwi.
The light of the eyes rejoices the heart: and a good report makes the bones fat.
31 O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
The ear that hears the reproof of life abides among the wise.
32 O ka mea hoole i ke aoia mai, oia ka i hoowahawaha i kona uhane iho; O ka mea hoolohe i ke aoia mai e loaa ia ia ka naauao.
He that refuses instruction despises his own soul: but he that hears reproof gets understanding.
33 O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ka ike ana i ka naauao: O ka naau haahaa mamua ia o ka mahaloia mai.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
