Solomona 23
1 I KOU noho iho ana e ai pu me ke alii, E noonoo pono i na mea imua ou:
When thou sittest to eate with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee,
2 A e kau i ka pahi ma kahi i moni ai, Ke pololi oe.
And put the knife to thy throte, if thou be a man giuen to the appetite.
3 Aka, mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono; He wahi ni hoopunipuni no ia.
Be not desirous of his deintie meates: for it is a deceiuable meate.
4 Mai hooikaika i waiwai ai; E hoole i kou naauao iho.
Trauaile not too much to be rich: but cease from thy wisdome.
5 E kau anei oe i kou mau maka ma ka mea e ole ana? No ka mea, e hana io no ia mea i mau eheu nona iho; Me he aeto la e lele aku ai i ka lewa.
Wilt thou cast thine eyes vpon it, which is nothing? for riches taketh her to her wings, as an eagle, and flyeth into the heauen.
6 Mai ai oe i ka ai a ka mea maka ino; Mai iini aku oe i kana mau mea ono;
Eate thou not the bread of him that hath an euil eye, neither desire his deintie meates.
7 No ka mea, e like me ia i noonoo ai ma kona naau, pela no ia; E ai oe, ea, a e inu oe, wahi ana ia oe, Aka, aole me oe kona naau.
For as though he thought it in his heart, so will hee say vnto thee, Eate and drinke: but his heart is not with thee.
8 O ka mamala ai au i moni iho ai e luai hou aku oe; A e lilo wale kau mau olelo oluolu.
Thou shalt vomit thy morsels that thou hast eaten, and thou shalt lose thy sweete wordes.
9 Mai hai aku oe i na pepeiao o ka mea lapuwale; No ka mea, e hoowahawaha oia i ka pololei o kau olelo.
Speake not in the eares of a foole: for hee will despise the wisdome of thy wordes.
10 Mai hooneenee ae oe i na mokuna aina kahiko; Ma na kihapai o ka poe makua ole, mai komo oe.
Remooue not the ancient boundes, and enter not into the fieldes of the fatherlesse.
11 No ka mea, o ka lakou Hoola he mana no kona; Nana no e hooponopono iwaena o lakou a me oe.
For he that redeemeth them, is mightie: he will defend their cause against thee.
12 E haliu ae i kou naau i ke aoia mai, A me kou mau pepeiao hoi i na olelo e naauao ai.
Apply thine heart to instruction, and thine eares to the wordes of knowledge.
13 Mai waiho oe i ka hooponopono ana i ke keiki; No ka mea, ina e haua oe ia ia me ka laau, aole ia e make.
Withhold not correction from the childe: if thou smite him with the rodde, he shall not die.
Thou shalt smite him with the rodde, and shalt deliuer his soule from hell. (Sheol h7585)
15 E kuu keiki e, ina e naauao kou naau, E hauoli io no ka naau o'u:
My sonne, if thine heart be wise, mine heart shall reioyce, and I also.
16 E olioli io ko'u mau puhaka, Ke hai aku kou mau lehelehe i na mea pololei.
And my reynes shall reioyce, when thy lips speake righteous things.
17 Mai huahua kou naau i ka poe hewa; Aka, e noho mau oe me ka makau ia Iehova a po ka la.
Let not thine heart bee enuious against sinners: but let it bee in the feare of the Lord continually.
18 No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ka hope; A e pio ole ana no kou manaolana.
For surely there is an ende, and thy hope shall not be cut off.
19 E hoolohe mai oe, e ka'u keiki, e hoonaauao iho, E hoopololei i kou naau ma ke ala.
O thou my sonne, heare, and bee wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
20 Mai noho pu oe me ka poe inu waina; Me ka poe hoopalupalu i ko lakou kino iho.
Keepe not company with drunkards, nor with gluttons.
21 No ka mea, o ka mea ona a me ka mea pakela ai, e ilihune auanei oia; A no ka palaualelo e komo kekahi i na weluwelu.
For the drunkard and the glutton shall bee poore, and the sleeper shalbe clothed with ragges.
22 E hoolohe i kou makuakane ka mea nana mai oe; Mai hoowahawaha oe i ka luwahine ana o kou makuwahine.
Obey thy father that hath begotten thee, and despise not thy mother when she is olde.
23 E kuai lilo mai i ka oiaio, mai kuai lilo aku; I ka naauao hoi a me ke aoia mai a me ka ike.
Bye the trueth, but sell it not: likewise wisdome, and instruction, and vnderstanding.
24 E hauoli nui ka makuakane o ka mea pono; O ka mea i hanau mai uana ke keiki naauao, he olioli no kona.
The father of the righteous shall greatly reioyce, and hee that begetteth a wise childe, shall haue ioy of him.
25 E hauoli no kou makuakane a me kou makuwahine, E olioli hoi ka mea nana oe i hanau mai.
Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall reioyce.
26 E kuu keiki, e haawi mai ia'u i kou naau, E nana mai hoi kou mau maka i ko'u aoao.
My sonne, giue mee thine heart, and let thine eyes delite in my wayes.
27 No ka mea, he auwaha hohonu ka wahine hookamakama, He lua ino hoi ka wahine e.
For a whore is as a deepe ditche, and a strange woman is as a narrowe pitte.
28 Oia ka i hoohalua, me he powa la, Hoonui oia i ka lawehala ana iwaena o na kanaka.
Also she lyeth in wait as for a praye, and she increaseth the transgressers among men.
29 Ia wai la ka uwe ana? Ia wai la ka poino? Ia wai la ka hakaka? Ia wai la ka nuku wale ana? Ia wai la na palapu loaa wale? Ia wai la na maka ulaula?
To whome is woe? to whome is sorowe? to whom is strife? to whom is murmuring? to whom are woundes without cause? and to whome is the rednesse of the eyes?
30 I ka poe e hoomau ana ma ka waina, I ka poe e hele ana e imi i ka waina i kawiliia.
Euen to them that tarie long at the wine, to them that goe, and seeke mixt wine.
31 Mai nana oe i ka waina i kona ulaula ana, I kona aleale ana ma ke kiaha, I kona hu ana a maikai.
Looke not thou vpon the wine, when it is red, and when it sheweth his colour in the cup, or goeth downe pleasantly.
32 Mahope iho, e nahu mai me he nahesa la, A e pa mai me he moonihoawa la.
In the ende thereof it will bite like a serpent, and hurt like a cockatrise.
33 E nana auanei kou maka i na wahine e, A e hai aku kou naau i na mea ino.
Thine eyes shall looke vpon strange women, and thine heart shall speake lewde things.
34 E lilo ana oe me he mea la i moe iho mawaena konu o ka moana, E like hoi me ka mea i hoomoe ia ia iho ma kahi oioi loa o ke kia moku.
And thou shalt bee as one that sleepeth in the middes of the sea, and as hee that sleepeth in the toppe of the maste.
35 Pepehi mai lakou ia'u, aole au i eha, Hahaua mai lakou ia'u, aole au i ike iho: Ahea la au e ala'i? E imi hou aku no au ia mea.
They haue stricken mee, shalt thou say, but I was not sicke: they haue beaten mee, but I knew not, when I awoke: therefore will I seeke it yet still.
