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 back fury, And a grievous word raises 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 makes knowledge good, And the mouth of fools utters folly.
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 YHWH are in every place, Watching 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 healed tongue [is] a tree of life, And perverseness in it—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 the instruction of his father, And whoever is regarding 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.
Abundant strength [is in] the house of the righteous, And in the increase of the wicked—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 scatter knowledge, And the heart of fools [is] not right.
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 YHWH, And 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 to YHWH, And He loves whoever is pursuing 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.
Discipline [is] grievous to him who is forsaking the path, Whoever is hating reproof dies.
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)
Sheol and destruction [are] before YHWH, Surely also the hearts of the sons 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 does not love his reprover, He does not go to the wise.
13 Ina olioli ka naau, oluolu no hoi ka maka; A i kaumaha ka naau, nahae no ka uhane.
A joyful heart makes the face glad, And the spirit is struck by grief of heart.
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 the intelligent seeks knowledge, And the mouth of fools enjoys folly.
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, And gladness of heart [is] a perpetual banquet.
16 Maikai kahi mea iki me ka makau ia Iehova, Mamua o ka waiwai nui ke pili pu me ka hakaka.
Better [is] a little with the fear of YHWH, Than much treasure, and tumult with it.
17 Maikai kahi launahele ke ai me ke aloha pu kekahi, Mamua o ka bipi momona, ina he inaina hoi kekahi.
Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there, Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it.
18 O ke kanaka huhu, oia ke hoala ae i ka hakaka; O ka mea akahele ka huhu, hoomalielie oia i ka hakaka.
A man of fury stirs up contention, And the 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 [is] as a hedge of briers, And the path of the upright is raised up.
20 O ke keiki akamai, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ke kanaka lapuwale, hoowahawaha oia i kona makuwahine.
A wise son makes a father glad. And a foolish man is despising 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 one lacking heart, And a man of intelligence directs [his] going.
22 Hill hewa na manao, ke ole ke kukakuka ana; A i ka nui o ka poe kukakuka, e paa no.
The making void of purposes [is] without counsel, And in a multitude of counselors it is 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.
Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season—how good!
24 O ke ala o ke ola, malaila e pii ai ka poe naauao, I pakele ae i ka malu make malalo. (Sheol h7585)
A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol 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.
YHWH pulls down the house of the proud, And He sets up 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.
Thoughts of wickedness [are] an abomination to YHWH, And sayings of pleasantness [are] pure.
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.
A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoever is hating gifts lives.
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 meditates to answer, And the mouth of the wicked utters evil things.
29 Ua loihi e aku o Iehova mai ka poe hewa aku; Hoolohe hoi oia i ka pule a ka poe pono.
YHWH [is] far from the wicked, And 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 makes the heart glad, A good report makes the bone fat.
31 O ka pepeiao o lohe ana i ke aoia mai no ke ola, Noho mau ia iwaena o ka poe naauao.
An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Lodges 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.
Whoever is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And whoever is hearing reproof Is getting 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 YHWH [is] the instruction of wisdom, And humility [is] before honor!
