Solomona 27
1 MAI olioli wale oe no ka la apopo, No ka mea, aole oe i ike i ka mea a kekahi la e hoopuka mai ai.
Boast not thy selfe of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Na ka mea e e hoomaikai mai ia oe, aole na kou waha iho; Na ka malihini hoi, aole na kou mau lehelehe iho.
Let another man prayse thee, and not thine owne mouth: a stranger, and not thine owne lips.
3 Koikoi ka pohaku, kaumaha hoi ke one; Aka, o ka inaina o ka mea naaupo, ua kaumaha ia mamua o ia mau mea elua.
A stone is heauie, and the sand weightie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both.
4 He aloha ole ka inaina, he mea make ka huhu, Owai la hoi e hiki ke ku imua o ka huahua?
Anger is cruell, and wrath is raging: but who can stand before enuie?
5 Maikai ke ao maopopo ana, Mamua o ke aloha i hunaia.
Open rebuke is better then secret loue.
6 Maikai ka hoehaia mai e ka hoaaloha, He nunui hoi ka honi ana o ka enemi.
The wounds of a louer are faithful, and the kisses of an enemie are pleasant.
7 Hehi no ka mea maona i ka waihona meli; Aka, i ka mea pololi la, ua ono na mea awaawa a pau.
The person that is full, despiseth an hony combe: but vnto the hungry soule euery bitter thing is sweete.
8 E like me ka manu i auwana ae mai kona punana aku, Pela ke kanaka e auwana ana mai kona wahi aku.
As a bird that wandreth from her nest, so is a man that wandreth from his owne place.
9 O ka aila a me ka mea ala, hoohauoli ia i ka naau; Hooluolu hoi ka hoaaloha o kekahi mea ma ka olelo oiaio.
As oyntment and perfume reioyce the heart, so doeth the sweetenes of a mans friend by hearty counsell.
10 O kou hoalauna a me ka hoalauna o kou makuakane, mai haalele oe; Aole hoi e komo aku i ka hale o kou hoahanau i kou manawa popilikia; Maikai ka mea e noho kokoke ana, mamua o ka hoahanau ma kahi loihi aku.
Thine owne friend and thy fathers friend forsake thou not: neither enter into thy brothers house in the day of thy calamitie: for better is a neighbour that is neere, then a brother farre off.
11 E kuu keiki e, e naauao hoi oe i olioli ko'u naau, I olelo aku au i ka mea hoino mai ia'u.
My sonne, be wise, and reioyce mine heart, that I may answere him that reprocheth me.
12 O ka mea noonoo la, ike e oia mamua i ka poino a huna ia ia iho; Hele wale aku hoi ka poe nanea a hihia iho la.
A prudent man seeth the plague, and hideth himselfe: but the foolish goe on still, and are punished.
13 E lawe i ka aahu o ka mea nana e hoopanai no ka malihini, E lawe hoi i uku nona no ka wahine e.
Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and a pledge of him for the stranger.
14 O ka mea hoomaikai aku i kona hoanoho me ka leo nui, I kona ala ana i ke kakahiaka nui, E lilo ia i mea poino nona.
He that prayseth his friend with a loude voyce, rising earely in the morning, it shall be counted to him as a curse.
15 O ke kulu mau ana i ka la ua, A me ka wahine nuku wale, na like.
A continual dropping in the day of raine, and a contentious woman are alike.
16 O ka mea hoonalowale i kana, hoonalowale no ia i ka makani, A me ka aila o kona lima akau e pa mai ana.
He that hideth her, hideth the winde, and she is as ye oyle in his right hand, that vttereth it selfe.
17 Hookala kahi mea hao i kekahi mea hao, Hookala hoi ke kanaka i ka maka o kona hoalauna.
Yron sharpeneth yron, so doeth man sharpen the face of his friend.
18 O ka mea malama i ka laau fiku, oia ke ai i kona hua; O ka mea malama hoi i kona haku e hoonaniia oia.
He that keepeth the fig tree, shall eate the fruite thereof: so he that waiteth vpon his master, shall come to honour.
19 Ma ka wai, he helehelena e ku ana i kahi helehelena, Pela hoi ka naau kanaka i kekahi kanaka.
As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
The graue and destruction can neuer be full, so the eyes of man can neuer be satisfied. (Sheol h7585)
21 He ipu hoohehee no ke kala, a he kapuahi no ke gula, Pela ke kanaka imua o kona mahaloia mai.
As is the fining pot for siluer and the fornace for golde, so is euery man according to his dignitie.
22 Ina e kui oe i ka mea naaupo ma ka papawiliai, Oia pu me ka ai i ka pohaku kui, Aole loa e hemo ae kona naaupo ana mai ona aku.
Though thou shouldest bray a foole in a morter among wheate brayed with a pestell, yet will not his foolishnes depart from him.
23 E ike pono oe i ke ano o kau poe hipa, E nana hoi i ke ano o kau poe holoholona;
Be diligent to know ye state of thy flocke, and take heede to the heardes.
24 No ka mea, aole e mau ana ka waiwai: O ka papale alii hoi, oia mau anei ia i na hanauna a pau?
For riches remaine not alway, nor the crowne from generation to generation.
25 Kupu mai ka weuweu, ikea mai ka mauu, A e ohiia ana ka mea ulu o ka mauna.
The hey discouereth it selfe, and the grasse appeareth, and the herbes of the mountaines are gathered.
26 O na keikihipa no kou kapa komo, O ka poe kao kane ke kumukuai no ka aina.
The lambes are for thy clothing, and the goates are the price of the fielde.
27 A e nui ka waiu kao no kau ai ana, No ka ai ana hoi o ko ka hale ou, A he ola no kou poe kauwawahine.
And let the milke of the goates be sufficient for thy foode, for the foode of thy familie, and for the sustenance of thy maydes.
