Solomona 3
1 E KUU keiki, mai haalele oe i ko'u kanawai, E waiho hoi i ka'u mau kauoha ma kou naau.
My son, do not forget my teaching; but let your heart keep my commandments:
2 No ka mea, oia ka mea e nui ai na la a me na makahiki o kou ola ana, A o ka malu hoi e haawiia ia oe.
for length of days, and years of life, and peace, will they add to you.
3 I ole e haalele ia oe ka lokomaikai a me ke aloha; E hawele ia mau mea ma kou a-i; E kakau hoi ma ka papa o ka naau.
Do not let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Pela e loaa'i ka lokomaikai a me ka ike oiaio, Imua o Iehova a me na kanaka.
So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
5 E paulele ia Iehova me kou naau a pau; Mai hilinai hoi ma kou naauao iho.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 Ma kou aoao a pau ia ia no oe e nana aku ai, A nana no e hoopololei i kou hele ana.
In all your ways remember him, and he will make your paths straight.
7 Mai hooakamai oe ma kou manao iho; E makau ia Iehova a e haalele i ka hewa.
Do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 Oia ke ola no kou mau olona, A me ka lolo no kou mau iwi.
It will be health to your body, and nourishment to your bones.
9 E hoonani ia Iehova ma kou waiwai, A me na hua mua o na mea a pau i loaa'i ia oe:
Honor the LORD with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase:
10 Alaila, e hoopihaia kou waihona waiwai a hu, E hu ae kau mau mea kaomi waina i ka waina hou.
so your storehouses will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
11 E kuu keiki, mai hoole oe i ke aoia mai e Iehova; Mai pauaho oe i kona hooponopono ana mai.
My son, do not despise the discipline of the LORD, nor resent his correction.
12 No ka mea, o ka mea a Iehova i aloha'i oia kana i paipai mai. Me he makua la i ke keiki ana i makemake ai.
For whom the LORD loves he disciplines, and punishes every son he accepts.
13 Pomaikai ke kanaka ke loaa ia ia ka naauao, A o ke kanaka hoi i makaukau i ka ike.
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gets understanding.
14 No ka mea, ua oi aku ka waiwai o ia mea mamua o ke kala, A o ke kuai ana hoi mamua o ke gula.
For her good profit is better than getting silver, and her return is better than fine gold.
15 Ua maikai oia mamua o na momi; A o na mea a pau au e makemake ai, aole e liko me ia ka maikai.
She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16 Aia ma kona lima akau ka loihi o na la; A ma kona lima hema ka waiwai a me ka hanohano.
Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17 O kona mau aoao he mau aoao oluolu no, Ua pau hoi kona mau alanui i ka maluhia,
Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18 Oia ka laau o ke ola no ka poe e hoopaa ana ia ia, Poinaikai hoi ka mea e apo ana ia ia.
She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her, and those who hold on to her are blessed
19 Ma ke akamuai i hookumu iho ai o Iehova i ka honua; A ma ka ike i kau aku ai i ka lani.
By wisdom the LORD founded the earth. By understanding, he established the heavens.
20 Ma kona ike hoi i wawahiia'i na wahi hohonu, A ninini mai no na ao i ka ua.
By his knowledge, the depths were broken up, and the skies drop down the dew.
21 E kuu keiki e, mai huli e aku kou mau maka; E hoopaa i ka naauao a me ka ike.
My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion:
22 He ola no ia no kou uhane, He hanohano no ia i kou a-i.
so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
23 Alaila, e hele makau ole oe ma kou ala, A o kou wawae hoi, aole ia e palaha.
Then you shall walk in your way securely, and your foot won't stumble.
24 I kou moe ana, aole oe e makau; E moe iho no oe, a e oluolu kou hiamoe ana.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; you will lie down, and your sleep will be sweet.
25 Mai weliweli oe i ka mea e makau ai ke hikilele mai, Aole hoi i ka luku ana o ka poe hewa ke hiki mai.
Do not be afraid of sudden fear, or of the storm of the wicked when it comes:
26 No ka mea, o Iehova no kou mea e peulele ai, E malama no oia i kou wawae i ole no e heiia.
for the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being taken.
27 Mai aua oe i ka maikai i ka mea e pono ai ia, Ke hiki i kou lima ke hana aku.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it.
28 Mai olelo oe i kou hoanoho, O hele oe a hoi mai, apopo e haawi aku au, Ke waiho wale ia mea ia oe.
Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come again; tomorrow I will give it to you," when you have it by you.
29 Mai imi hala oe i kou hoanoho, No ka mea, ke noho la oia ma ou la me ka maluhia.
Do not devise evil against your neighbor, seeing he dwells securely by you.
30 Mai hoopaapaa hala ole oe me ke kanaka, Ina aole oia i hana hewa aku ia oe.
Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm.
31 Mai hoolalike oe me ke kanaka huhu, Mai koho hoi oe i kekahi aoao ona.
Do not envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.
32 No ka mea, he mea hoopailua ka aia ia Iehova, O ka poe pololei oia kona poe hoakuka.
For the perverse is an abomination to the LORD, but his friendship is with the upright.
33 O ka hoino o Iehova aia ma ka hale o ka mea hewa, Hoopomaikai oia i kahi noho ai o ka poe pono.
The LORD's curse is in the house of the wicked, but he blesses the habitation of the righteous.
34 E hoowahawaha mai oia i ka poe hoowahawaha; E haawi mai oia i ka lokomaikai i ka poe i haahaa ka naau.
Surely he is scornful to scoffers, but he gives grace to the humble.
35 E ili mai ka hanohano no ka poe naauao; O ka hookiekieia mai o ka poe hewa, he mea hilahila ia.
The wise will inherit glory, but shame will be the promotion of fools.
