Solomona 19
1 MAIKAI ka mea ilihune i hele ma kona pololei, Mamua o ka mea lehelehe wahahee, a lapuwale hoi.
Better is the poor man who walketh in his integrity, Than he who is of false lips and a fool.
2 O ka uhane i nele i ka ike, he pono ole ia; O ka mea i wikiwiki na wawae, hele hewa no ia.
Moreover, that the soul be without knowledge is not good, And he that hasteth with is feet stumbleth.
3 O ka lapuwale o ke kanaka, oia ka i hookapae i kona aoao; A ukiuki aku kona naau ia Iehova.
The folly of man destroyeth his way, And then his heart fretteth against the LORD.
4 O ka waiwai ka mea e hoonui ai i na makamaka; Ua hookaawaleia hoi ka mea ilihune mai kona hoanoho aku.
Wealth maketh many friends; But the poor is separated from his neighbor.
5 O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona hoopaiia mai; O ka mea olelo wahahee hoi, aole ia e pakele.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
6 Nui ka poe hoopili aku i ke alii; He hoalauna hoi kela mea keia mea no ke kanaka haawi wale.
Many are they who caress the noble, And every one is the friend of him who giveth gifts.
7 Pau loa ka poe hoahanau o ka mea nele i ke aloha ole ia ia; Haalele loa hoi kona mau hoalauna ia ia; Hahai oia me na olelo, aole lakou.
All the brethren of the poor man hate him; How much more do his friends go far from him! He runneth after their words, —they are gone!
8 O ka mea loaa ia ia ka naauao oia ke aloha i kona uhane; O ka mea hoopaa i ka ike, e loaa ia ia ka pono.
He that getteth wisdom loveth himself; He that keepeth understanding shall find good.
9 O ka mea hoike wahahee, aole e ole kona ahewaia mai, O ka mea olelo hoopunipuni, e make oia.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, And he that speaketh lies shall perish.
10 Aole i ku pono ka hanohano i ka mea lapuwale; Aole loa hoi i ke kauwa, ke noho maluna o na'lii.
Luxury is not seemly for a fool; Much less should a servant have rule over princes.
11 O ko ke kanaka naauao, oia ke hoopanee aku i ka huhu; O kona naui hoi, oia ke kala ana i ka hala.
A man of understanding is slow to anger; Yea, it is his glory to pass over an offence.
12 He uwo ana me he liona la ka huhu o ke alii; E like hoi me ka hau ma ka weuweu kona lokomaikai.
The wrath of a king is like the roaring of a lion; But his favor, like dew upon the grass.
13 He mea poino i ka makuakane ke keiki lapuwale; He kulu mau ana ka hoopaapaa o ka wahine.
A foolish son is a calamity to his father, And the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping.
14 O ka hale a me ka waiwai, oia ka hooilina no na makua mai; Na Iehova mai hoi ka wahine manao pono.
Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers; But a prudent wife is from the LORD.
15 O ka palaualelo ka mea e poho ai iloko o ka hiamoe nui; A o ka uhane hoomolowa, e pololi no ia.
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep, And the idle person shall suffer hunger.
16 O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, oia ka i malama i kona uhane; O ka mea malama ole i kona aoao, e make no ia.
He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his life; But he that neglecteth his ways shall die.
17 O ka mea manawalea aku i ka ilihune, haawi aku oia na Iehova; A o kana mea i haawi ai, na kela no e hoihoi mai ia ia.
He who hath pity on the poor lendeth to the LORD, And that which he giveth will he repay him.
18 E haua i kau keiki oi laua ka manao nona, Mai menemene kou uhane no kona uwe ana.
Chasten thy son because there is hope, But let not thy soul desire to slay him.
19 O ka mea huhu nui, e hooukuia oia; Ina paha e hookuu aku oe ia ia, pono e hana hou no.
A man of great wrath will suffer punishment; For if thou deliver him, yet must thou do it again.
20 E hoolohe i ka oleloao, e haliu hoi i ke aoia mai, I naauao oe i kou hopena.
Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That thou mayst be wise in thy latter years.
21 Nui na manao maloko o ka naau o ke kanaka, Aka, o ka manao o Iehova, oia ke ku paa.
Many are the devices in the heart of a man; But the purpose of the LORD, that shall stand.
22 O ka nani o ke kanaka, oia kona lokomaikai; Maikai hoi ke kanaka ilihune mamua o ka mea wahahee.
The charm of a man is his kindness; And better is a poor man than a liar.
23 O ka makau ia Iehova, oia ke ola; E noho oluolu oia, aole e ike mai ka hewa ia ia.
The fear of the LORD tendeth to life, And he that hath it shall abide satisfied; He shall not be visited with evil.
24 Hookomo ka mea palaualelo i kona lima iloko o ka umeke, Aole oia e hoihoi hou aku ia i kona waha.
The slothful man dippeth his hand into the dish: He doth not bring it back even to his mouth.
25 E pepehi i ka mea hoowahawaha, a e ao ka mea malama ole; E ao aku hoi i ka mea noonoo, a e ike oia i ka naauao.
Strike the scoffer, and the simple will become prudent; Reprove a man of understanding, and he will discern knowledge.
26 O ka mea hao i kona makuakaue, a hookuke aku i kona makuwahine, Oia ke keiki hoino, a me ka hoohilahila.
The son that causeth shame and disgrace doeth violence to his father, And chaseth away his mother.
27 Ua oki, e kuu keiki, mai hoolohe i ke ao ana, E hooauwana ai mai ka olelo aku o ka ike.
Cease, my son, to listen to the instruction That causeth thee to wander from the words of knowledge!
28 I aia ka mea hoike, hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei; O ka waha o ka poe hewa, moni no ia i ka ino.
A worthless witness scoffeth at justice, And the mouth of the wicked swalloweth down iniquity.
29 Ua makaukau ka hoopaiia no ka poe haakei, O ka haua hoi no ke kua o ka poe lapuwale.
Punishments are prepared for scoffers, And stripes for the back of fools.
