Solomona 28
1 HOOHEE wale ka mea hewa, aohe mea e hahai ana; O ka poe pono hoi, wiwo ole lakou me he liona la.
The wicked flee when none pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon.
2 No ka hewa o ka aina, nui no kolaila poe alii; A ma ke kanaka noonoo a ike hoi e paa loihi ana no ia.
For the transgression of the land there are many princes thereof: but by a man of vnderstanding and knowledge a realme likewise endureth long.
3 O ke kanaka ilihune e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Oia ka ua e hoopau ana i ka ai a pau.
A poore man, if he oppresse the poore, is like a raging raine, that leaueth no foode.
4 O ka poe haalele i ke kanawai, hoomaikai no lakou i ka mea hewa: O ka poe malama hoi i ke kanawai, ku e aku no i ua poe la.
They that forsake the Law, prayse the wicked: but they that keepe the Law, set themselues against them.
5 Aole i ike ka poe aia i ka hoopono; A o ka poe imi ia Iehova, ike no i na mea a pau.
Wicked men vnderstand not iudgemnt: but they that seeke the Lord vnderstand all things.
6 E aho ka mea ilihune ke hele oia ma ka pololei, I ka mea waiwai i hookekee i kona aoao.
Better is the poore that walketh in his vprightnesse, then hee that peruerteth his wayes, though he be riche.
7 O ka mea malama i ke kanawai, he keiki naauao ia; O ka hoa no ka poe hookai wale, oia ka i hoohilahila i kona makuakane.
He that keepeth the Law, is a childe of vnderstanding: but hee that feedeth the gluttons, shameth his father.
8 O ka mea hoonui i kona waiwai ma ka uku kuala a me ke kaili wale, E hooiliili oia ia mea na ka mea e aloha aku i ka poe ilihune.
He that increaseth his riches by vsurie and interest, gathereth them for him that will be mercifull vnto the poore.
9 O ka mea haliu aku i kona pepeiao aole hoolono i ke kanawai, E hoopailuaia kana pule.
He that turneth away his eare from hearing the Law, euen his prayer shalbe abominable.
10 O ka mea kai hewa aku i ka poe pololei ma ka aoao hewa, Ma kona lua iho oia e haule ai; A o ka poe pololei hoi, e ili mai ka maikai no lakou.
He that causeth the righteous to go astray by an euill way, shall fall into his owne pit, and the vpright shall inherite good things.
11 Ua naauao no ke kanaka waiwai i kona manao iho; Aka, o ka mea ilihune a naauao hoi, oia ka i ike aku ia ia.
The riche man is wise in his owne conceite: but the poore that hath vnderstanding, can trie him.
12 I ka hauoli ana o ka poe pono, nui ka hanohano; A i ke ku ana'e o ka poe hewa, ua hunaia ke kanaka.
When righteous men reioyce, there is great glory: but when the wicked come vp, the man is tried.
13 O ka mea huna i kona hewa iho, aole oia e pomaikai; Aka, o ka mea hooia a haalele hoi, e alohaia mai oia,
He that hideth his sinnes, shall not prosper: but he that confesseth, and forsaketh them, shall haue mercy.
14 Pomaikai ke kanaka ke mau aku kona makau; O ka mea hoopaakiki i kona naau, e haule oia i ka popilikia.
Blessed is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into euill.
15 O ka liona uwo a me ka bea holoholo, Oia ke alii hewa maluna o na kanaka ilihune.
As a roaring lyon, and an hungry beare, so is a wicked ruler ouer the poore people.
16 O ke alii naauao ole, nui kona hookaumaha ana; O ka mea hoowahawaha i ka makee waiwai, e loihi no kona mau la.
A prince destitute of vnderstanding, is also a great oppressour: but hee that hateth couetousnes, shall prolong his dayes.
17 O ke kanaka hewa i ke koko o kekahi, E holo oia i ka lua; mai keakea kekahi ia ia.
A man that doeth violence against the blood of a person, shall flee vnto the graue, and they shall not stay him.
18 O ka mea hele pololei e ola oia; O ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e haule koke no ia.
He that walketh vprightly, shalbe saued: but he that is froward in his wayes, shall once fall.
19 O ka mea mahi i ka aina e maona oia i ka ai; O ka mea hoopili mea ai mahope o ka poe lapuwale e piha oia i ka ilihune.
He that tilleth his land, shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth the idle, shall be filled with pouertie.
20 O ke kanaka hooiaio, nui wale kona mau mea e pomaikai ai; O ka mea holo kiki mahope o ka waiwai, aole e ole kona hala.
A faythfull man shall abound in blessings, and he that maketh haste to be riche, shall not be innocent.
21 O ka manao ana i ko ke kanaka kino, aole ia he maikai; No kahi apana ai e lawehala no ua kanaka la.
To haue respect of persons is not good: for that man will transgresse for a piece of bread.
22 O ka mea hooikaika ma ka waiwai, he maka ino kona, Aole oia e ike o ka ilihune kana mea e loaa ai.
A man with a wicked eye hasteth to riches, and knoweth not, that pouertie shall come vpon him.
23 O ka mea ao aku i ke kanaka, mahope iho e loaa ia ia ka lokomaikaiia mai, Mamua o ka mea malimali me kona alelo.
He that rebuketh a man, shall finde more fauour at length, then he that flattereth with his tongue.
24 O ke mea kaili wale i ka kona makuakane a me ka kona makuwahine, Me ka i ana ae, Aole ia he hewa, Oia ka hoa no ka pepehi kanaka.
Hee that robbeth his father and mother, and sayth, It is no transgression, is the companion of a man that destroyeth.
25 O ka mea i haaheo ka naau, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova e lako loa oia.
He that is of a proude heart, stirreth vp strife: but he that trusteth in the Lord, shall be fatte.
26 O ka mea paulele i kona naau iho, oia ka mea naaupo: O ka mea hele ma ka naauao, e hoopakeleia oia.
Hee that trusteth in his owne heart, is a foole: but he that walketh in wisdome, shall be deliuered.
27 O ka mea haawi wale na ka mea ilihune, aole oia e nele; A o ka mea i uhi ae i kona mau maka, e nui kona hoinoia mai.
He that giueth vnto the poore, shall not lacke: but he that hideth his eyes, shall haue many curses.
28 I ke ku ana o ka poe hewa, ua huna ke kanaka ia ia iho; A make lakou, alaila mahuahua ka poe pono.
When the wicked rise vp, men hide them selues: but when they perish, ye righteous increase.
