Solomona 21
1 HE mau auwai ka naau o ke alii, iloko o ka lima o Iehova, Nana e hookahe ae e like me kona makemake.
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever He will.
2 O na aoao a pau o ke kanaka, ua pololei ia i kona maka iho, Hoao ae la o Iehova i na naau.
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the hearts.
3 O ka hana ana i ka pono a me ka pololei, Ua makemakeia e Iehova mamua o ka mohai.
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
4 O ka maka haaheo, o ka naau hookiekie, O ka pomaikai ana hoi o ka poe hewa he pono ole no ia.
A haughty look, and a proud heart — the tillage of the wicked is sin.
5 O ka manao o ka mea hana mau, pili no ia i ka lako; O ko ka mea wikiwiki wale, pili no ia i ka nele.
The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
6 O ka imi ana i ka waiwai ma ke elelo wahahee, He opala i hoopuehuia e ka poe e imi ana i ka make.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vapour driven to and fro; they that seek them seek death.
7 O ke kaili wale o ka poe hewa, e kaili aku ia ia lakou; No ka mea, hoole lakou, aole e hana ma ka hoopono.
The violence of the wicked shall drag them away; because they refuse to do justly.
8 He kekee ka aoao o ke kanaka, a he ano e hoi; O ka mea maemae hoi, ua pololei kana hana.
The way of man is froward and strange; but as for the pure, his work is right.
9 E aho ka noho ma ke kihi maluna o ka hale, Aole hoi me ka wahine hakaka ma ka hale kanaka.
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
10 O ka uhane o ka mea hewa, makemake no ia i ka hewa; Aole ona lokomaikai mai i kona hoanoho.
The soul of the wicked desireth evil; his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.
11 Ma ka hoopaiia mai o ka mea hoowahawaha, e hoonaauaoia'i ka mea ike ole; I ke ao ana aku i ka mea akamai, e loaa no ia ia ka ike.
When the scorner is punished, the thoughtless is made wise; and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge.
12 Noonoo nui ka mea pono i ka hale o ka mea hewa; Ua hookahuliia ka poe hewa no ka hana hewa ana.
The Righteous One considereth the house of the wicked; overthrowing the wicked to their ruin.
13 O ka mea i papani i kona pepeiao i ka uwe ana o ka mea nele, E hea aku no oia, aohe mea e hoolohe mai.
Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be answered.
14 O ka makana malu, pale ae no ia i ka huhu; Pela hoi ka makana poli i ka inaina ikaika.
A gift in secret pacifieth anger, and a present in the bosom strong wrath.
15 He olioli i ka mea pono ke hana ma ka pololei; He make no ko ka poe hana hewa.
To do justly is joy to the righteous, but ruin to the workers of iniquity.
16 O ke kanaka hele hewa mai ka aoao ae o ka naauao, E noho no oia ma ke anaina o ka poe malu make.
The man that strayeth out of the way of understanding shall rest in the congregation of the shades.
17 O ka mea makemake i ka lealea, e ilihune auanei ia, O ka mea makemake i ka waina a me ka aila, aole ia e waiwai.
He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.
18 Pani ka mea hewa i ka hakahaka no ka mea pono; Pela ka mea lawe hala no ka mea pololei.
The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; and the faithless cometh in the stead of the upright.
19 E aho ka noho noho ana ma ka waoakua. Aole me ka wahine huhu a me ka hakaka.
It is better to dwell in a desert land, than with a contentious and fretful woman.
20 Aia ka waiwai i makemakeia a me ka aila ma ka hale o ka mea naauao; A o ke kanaka lapuwale, moni iho la oia ia mea.
There is desirable treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man swalloweth it up.
21 O ka mea hahai mahope o ka pono, a me ka lokomaikai, E loaa ia ia ke ola a me ka pono a me ka nani.
He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, prosperity, and honour.
22 Pii ae ka mea naauao maluna o ke kulanakauhale o ka poe ikaika, Hoohiolo oia i ka ikaika a lakou i paulele ai.
A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and bringeth down the stronghold wherein it trusteth.
23 O ka mea malama i kona waha a me kona alelo, Oia ka i hoopakele i kona uhane i ka popilikia.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
24 O ka haaheo, o ka hookano, o ka hoowahawaha, Oia ka inoa o ka mea hana ma ka huhu ikaika.
A proud and haughty man, scorner is his name, even he that dealeth in overbearing pride.
25 O ka makemake o ka mea palaualelo oia kona mea e make ai; No ka mea, hoole kona mau lima i ka hana.
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26 Kuko wale aku no ia a po ka la; Haawi aku hoi ka mea pono me ka aua ole.
There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27 O ka mohai o ka poe hewa, he hoopailua ia; Ua oi aku hoi ka hewa, ke lawe oia ia mea me ka manao ino.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more, when he bringeth it with the proceeds of wickedness?
28 O ka mea hoike wahahee, e make no ia; O ke kanaka hoolohe, oia ke olelo mau.
A false witness shall perish; but the man that obeyeth shall speak unchallenged.
29 Hoopaakiki ke kanaka hewa i kona maka; O ka mea pololei hoi, hoopololei oia i kona aoao.
A wicked man hardeneth his face; but as for the upright, he looketh well to his way.
30 Aohe akamai, aohe noonoo; Aole hoi oleloao e hiki ai ke ku e aku ia Iehova.
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
31 Ua hoomakaukauia ka lio no ka la e kaua ai; Aka, ia Iehova no ka hoopakele ana.
The horse is prepared against the day of battle; but victory is of the LORD.
