Solomona 29
1 O KE kanaka i ao pinepine ia a hoopaakiki hoi i kona a-i, E make koke no ia, aole mea e ola'i.
He who, being often reproved, hardens his neck shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2 I ka lehulehu ana e ka poe pono, hauoli na kanaka; A i ke alii ana o ka mea hewa, ulono ae la na kanaka.
When the righteous are increased, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man bears rule, the people sigh.
3 O ke kanaka e ake ana i ka naauao, hoohauoli oia i kona makuakane; O ka mea launa aku me na wahine hookamakama, hokai wale aku oia i kana waiwai.
He who loves wisdom delights his father, but he who keeps company with harlots wastes his substance.
4 Ma ka hoopono, e hooku paa ai ke alii i ka aina; O ka mea lawe i na makana, oia ke hoohiolo iho.
By justice the king establishes the land, but he who exacts gifts overthrows it.
5 O ke kanaka malimali aku i kona hoanoho, Oia ka i hohola i ka hei no kona mau wawae.
A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps.
6 Puniheiia ke kanaka hewa ma kona hewa iho; Hauoli no ka mea pono me ka olioli.
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare, but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
7 Ike aku no ka mea pono i ka pilikia o ka poe ilihune; A o ka mea hewa, aole ona manao e ike aku.
A righteous man takes knowledge of the cause of the poor. A wicked man has no such understanding to know.
8 O ka poe hoowahawaha, hoohihia lakou i ke kulanakauhale; O ka poe naauao, pale ae lakou i ka huhu.
Scoffers set a city in a flame, but wise men turn away wrath.
9 Ina e hoopaapaa ke kanaka naauao, me ke kanaka hewa, He huhu paha kona, he akaaka paha, aohe oluolu iki.
If a wise man has a controversy with a foolish man, whether he be angry or laugh, there will be no rest.
10 O ka poe punikoko, inaina aku lakou i ka mea pololei; Imi hoi ka poe hoopono i ke ola nona.
Bloodthirsty men hate him who is perfect, but the upright seek his soul.
11 Hoopuka mai ka mea naaupo i kona manao a pau; Noho malie hoi ka mea naauao a mahope aku.
A fool utters all his anger, but a wise man keeps it back and calms it.
12 Ina e haliu ae ke alii i ka olelo wahahee, Pau loa kana poe kauwa i ka hana hewa.
If a ruler hearkens to falsehood, all his servants are wicked.
13 O ka mea ilihune, a o ke kanaka hookaumaha e halawai pu laua; Na Iehova e hoomalamalama i na maka o laua a elua.
The poor man and the oppressor meet together. Jehovah enlightens the eyes of them both.
14 O ke alii e hooponopono ana i ka poe ilihune ma ka oiaio, E paa mau loa no kona nohoalii.
The king who faithfully judges the poor, his throne shall be established forever.
15 O ka laau hahau, a me ke aoia mai, haawi no i ka naauao; A o ko keiki waiho wale ia, oia ke hoohilahila i kona makuwahine.
The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
16 I ka mahuahua ana o ka poe howa, mahuahua no ke kolohe; E ike hoi ka poe pono i ko lakau haule ana.
When the wicked are increased, transgression increases, but the righteous shall look upon their fall.
17 E haua i kau keiki, a nana oe e hoomaha mai; E lilo no ia i mea e olioli ai kou uhane.
Correct thy son, and he will give thee rest, yea, he will give delight to thy soul.
18 I ole ke aoia mai, hele hewa na kanaka; A o ka mea malama i ke kanawai, pomaikai oia.
Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint, but he who keeps the law, happy is he.
19 Ma ka olelo wale ana, aole e aoia mai ke kauwa; No ka mea ina paha i ike, aole ia e pane mai,
A servant will not be corrected by words, for though he understands, he will not give heed.
20 Ua ike anei oe i ke kanaka wikiwiki i ka olelo? Ua lana ka manao no ka mea naaupo aole nona.
See thou a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
21 O ka mea hoohiwahiwa i kana kauwa mai kona wa uuku mai, Mahope iho, e lilo oia i keiki nana.
He who brings up his servant gently from childhood shall have him become a son at the last.
22 O ke kanaka huhu, oia ka i hookonokono i ka hakaka, A o ka mea inaina wale, nui ae la kona hewa.
An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in transgression.
23 O ka haaheo o ke kanaka, oia ka mea uana ia e hoohaahaa iho; E pili hoi ka hanohano i ka mea haahaa ka naau.
A man's pride shall bring him low, but he who is of a lowly spirit shall obtain honor.
24 O ka mea lawe pu me ka aihue, inaina aku oia i kona uhane iho; Ua lohe oia i ka hailiili, aole hoi i hoike aku.
He who is partner with a thief hates his own soul; he hears the adjuration and utters nothing.
25 O ka makau i ke kanaka, he mea ia e hihia ai; O ka mea paulele ia Iehova ua palekana oia.
The fear of man brings a snare, but he who puts his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.
26 Nui ka poe imi i ka lokomaikaiia mai e ke alii, Aka, no Iehova mai ka hoopono ana i ke kanaka.
Many seek the ruler's favor, but a man's justice is from Jehovah.
27 He mea hoopailua i ka poe pono ke kanaka hoopono ole; He mea hoopailua hoi i ka mea hewa, ka mea pololei ma kona aoao.
An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way is an abomination to a wicked man.
