Ecclesiastes 5:5

Ua oi aku kou maikai ke hoohiki ole, mamua o kou maikai ke hoohiki oe, aole hoi e hooko aku.

Baibala Hemolele

In The King James Version

Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

In Context

4Ina e olelo oe e hoohiki i ke Akua, mai hoohakalia oe i ka hooko aku, no ka mea, aole oluolu ke Akua, i ka poe naaupo; e hooko aku oe i kau mea e hoohiki ai.

6E malama oe i kou waha i ole e hoohihia'i kou kino; mai olelo oe imua o ke kahuna, He kuhi hewa ia. No ke aha la e huhu mai ai ke Akua i kou leo, a e hoohiolo i ka hana a kou mau lima?
