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 lawless, fleeth when no man pursueth, but, the righteous, like a lion, are confident.
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 transgressions of a land, many are the rulers thereof, but, under an intelligent and discerning man, stability is prolonged.
3 O ke kanaka ilihune e hookaumaha ana i ka poe ilihune, Oia ka ua e hoopau ana i ka ai a pau.
A poor man, who oppresseth the helpless, [is like] a rain beating down, leaving no food.
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 who forsake instruction, praise one who is lawless, while, they who keep instruction, are at strife with 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, consider not justice, but, they who seek Yahweh, consider everything.
6 E aho ka mea ilihune ke hele oia ma ka pololei, I ka mea waiwai i hookekee i kona aoao.
Better a poor man walking in his integrity, than one who is crooked—turning two ways, though, he, be rich.
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 instruction, is a son with discernment, but, a companion of squanderers, bringeth shame to 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 substance by interest and profit, for one ready to favour the poor, doth gather it.
9 O ka mea haliu aku i kona pepeiao aole hoolono i ke kanawai, E hoopailuaia kana pule.
He that turneth away his ear from hearing instruction, even his prayer, is an abomination.
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 misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.
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.
Wise in his own eyes, is the man that is rich, but, a poor man of discernment, searcheth him out.
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.
In the exulting of the righteous, there is great glorying, but, when the lawless arise, a man must be sought for.
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 covereth his transgressions, shall not prosper, but, he that confesseth and forsaketh, shall find compassion.
14 Pomaikai ke kanaka ke mau aku kona makau; O ka mea hoopaakiki i kona naau, e haule oia i ka popilikia.
How happy the man who is ever circumspect, whereas, he that hardeneth his heart, shall fall into calamity.
15 O ka liona uwo a me ka bea holoholo, Oia ke alii hewa maluna o na kanaka ilihune.
A growling lion, and a ranging bear, is a lawless ruler, over a poor 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 leader, may lack intelligence, yet abound in oppressions, The hater of greed, shall lengthen out days.
17 O ke kanaka hewa i ke koko o kekahi, E holo oia i ka lua; mai keakea kekahi ia ia.
A man oppressed with a person’s blood, unto a pit, shall flee, let them not hold him back.
18 O ka mea hele pololei e ola oia; O ka mea hookekee i kona aoao, e haule koke no ia.
He that walketh with integrity, shall be saved, but, he that is crooked, turning two ways, shall fall in one.
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 ground, shall have plenty of bread, but, he that pursueth empty-heads, shall have plenty of poverty.
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 man of fidelity, aboundeth in blessings, but, one hasting to be rich, shall not be held 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 take note of faces [in judgment], is not good, and, for a bit of bread, a man will transgress.
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, hasting to be rich, hath an evil eye, and knoweth not when want may overtake 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 reproveth a man, shall, afterwards, find more, favour, than he that useth a flattering 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.
He that robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, companion, is he to one who wasteth.
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.
The ambitious in soul, stirreth up strife, but, he that trusteth in Yahweh, shall be enriched.
26 O ka mea paulele i kona naau iho, oia ka mea naaupo: O ka mea hele ma ka naauao, e hoopakeleia oia.
He that trusteth his own heart, the same, is a dullard, but, he that walketh wisely, the same, shall be delivered.
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.
One who giveth to the poor, shall have no want, but, he that hideth his eyes, shall receive many a curse.
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 lawless men rise, a common man will hide himself, but, when they perish, righteous men multiply.
