Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1[Quando sederis ut comedas cum principe, diligenter attende quæ apposita sunt ante faciem tuam.
1ʻOka ke ka nofo ke keinanga mo ha taha ʻoku pule, tokanga lahi ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻi ho ʻao:
2Et statue cultrum in gutture tuo: si tamen habes in potestate animam tuam.
2Pea kapau ko e tangata faʻa kai koe, ai ha hele ki ho kia.
3Ne desideres de cibis ejus, in quo est panis mendacii.
3ʻOua naʻa ke holi ki heʻene ngaahi meʻa lelei: he ko e meʻakai kākā ia.
4Noli laborare ut diteris, sed prudentiæ tuæ pone modum.
4ʻOua naʻa fai feinga ke ke koloaʻia: pea ʻoua naʻa falala ki ho poto ʻoʻou.
5Ne erigas oculos tuos ad opes quas non potes habere, quia facient sibi pennas quasi aquilæ, et volabunt in cælum.
5He te ke sio fakamamaʻu ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai? He ko e moʻoni ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he koloa hono kapakau; ʻoku puna atu ia ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ki he langi.
6Ne comedas cum homine invido, et ne desideres cibos ejus:
6ʻOua naʻa ke kai ʻi he mā ʻaʻana ʻoku manumanu hono mata, pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ki heʻene ngaahi meʻakai lelei:
7quoniam in similitudinem arioli et conjectoris æstimat quod ignorat. Comede et bibe, dicet tibi; et mens ejus non est tecum.
7He ko e ngaahi mahalo ʻo hono loto, ko ia ai pe ia: ʻoku ne pehē kiate koe, “Ke ke kai mo inu;” ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate koe hono loto.
8Cibos quos comederas evomes, et perdes pulchros sermones tuos.
8Ko e momoʻi meʻa kuo ke kai te ke toe lua ʻaki, pea mole mo hoʻo ngaahi lea lelei.
9In auribus insipientium ne loquaris, qui despicient doctrinam eloquii tui.
9ʻOua naʻa ke lea ʻi he telinga ʻoe vale, he te ne manukiʻi ʻae poto ʻo hoʻo ngaahi lea.
10Ne attingas parvulorum terminos, et agrum pupillorum ne introëas:
10ʻOua naʻa hiki ʻae kauʻā motuʻa; pea ʻoua naʻa faʻao ʻae potu ngoue ʻae tamai mate:
11propinquus enim illorum fortis est, et ipse judicabit contra te causam illorum.]
11He ʻoku māfimafi ʻa honau huhuʻi, pea te ne fai mo koe ʻi heʻenau meʻa.
12[Ingrediatur ad doctrinam cor tuum, et aures tuæ ad verba scientiæ.
12Fakatokangaʻi ho loto ki he akonaki, pea mo ho telinga ki he ngaahi lea ʻae ʻilo.
13Noli subtrahere a puero disciplinam: si enim percusseris eum virga, non morietur.
13ʻOua naʻa taʻofi ʻae tauteʻi mei he tamasiʻi: he kapau te ke taaʻi ia ʻaki ʻae meʻa tā, ʻe ʻikai mate ia.
14Tu virga percuties eum, et animam ejus de inferno liberabis.
14He te ke tauteʻi ʻaki ia ʻae meʻa tā, ʻo fakahaofi ai hono laumālie mei heli.
15Fili mi, si sapiens fuerit animus tuus, gaudebit tecum cor meum:
15ʻE hoku foha, kapau ʻe poto ho loto, ʻe fiefia ai hoku loto, ʻio, te u fiefia au.
16et exsultabunt renes mei, cum locuta fuerint rectum labia tua.
16Ko e moʻoni ʻe fiefia hoku loto, ʻoka lea ʻaki ʻe ho loungutu ʻae ngaahi meʻa totonu.
17Non æmuletur cor tuum peccatores, sed in timore Domini esto tota die:
17ʻOua naʻa meheka ho loto ki he angahala: ka ke manavahē koe kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
18quia habebis spem in novissimo, et præstolatio tua non auferetur.
18He ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ha ngataʻanga; pea ʻe ʻikai motuhi hoʻo ʻamanaki.
19Audi, fili mi, et esto sapiens, et dirige in via animum tuum.
19Ke ke fanongo, ʻE hoku foha, pea ke poto, pea fakahinohino ho loto ʻi he hala.
20Noli esse in conviviis potatorum, nec in comessationibus eorum qui carnes ad vescendum conferunt:
20ʻOua naʻa ke kau mo e kakai faʻa inu ke konā, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻuakai ki heʻenau meʻakai:
21quia vacantes potibus et dantes symbola consumentur, et vestietur pannis dormitatio.
21Koeʻuhi ʻe iku ki he masiva ʻaia ʻoku faʻa konā mo faʻa ʻuakai: pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa mohe ʻe kofu mahaehae pe ia.
22Audi patrem tuum, qui genuit te, et ne contemnas cum senuerit mater tua.
22Fakaongo ki hoʻo tamai naʻa ke tupu ai, pea ʻoua naʻa ke taʻeʻofa ki hoʻo faʻē ʻoka motuʻa ia.
23Veritatem eme, et noli vendere sapientiam, et doctrinam, et intelligentiam.
23Fakatau mai ʻae moʻoni, pea ʻoua naʻa toe fakatau atu; ʻae poto, mo e akonaki, pea mo e faʻa fakakaukau.
24Exsultat gaudio pater justi; qui sapientem genuit, lætabitur in eo.
24ʻE fiefia lahi ʻae tamai ʻaʻana ʻoku māʻoniʻoni: pea ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae tamasiʻi ʻoku poto ʻe fiefia ia ʻiate ia.
25Gaudeat pater tuus et mater tua, et exsultet quæ genuit te.
25ʻE fiefia ʻa hoʻo tamai mo hoʻo faʻē, pea ʻe fiefia ia naʻa ne fanauʻi koe.
26Præbe, fili mi, cor tuum mihi, et oculi tui vias meas custodiant.
26ʻE hoku foha, foaki mai ho loto, pea ke tokangaʻi ʻe ho mata ʻa hoku ngaahi hala.
27Fovea enim profunda est meretrix, et puteus angustus aliena.
27He ʻoku tatau mo e luo taumamaʻo ʻae fefine faʻa feʻauaki; pea ko e fefine anga kehe ʻoku tatau mo e luo ʻapiʻapi.
28Insidiatur in via quasi latro, et quos incautos viderit, interficiet.]
28ʻOku ne toi foki ʻo hangē ha kaihaʻa, pea ʻoku ne fakatokolahi ʻae kau angahala ʻi he kakai.
29[Cui væ? cujus patri væ? cui rixæ? cui foveæ? cui sine causa vulnera? cui suffusio oculorum?
29Ko hai ia ʻoku malaʻia? Ko hai ia ʻoku mamahi? Ko hai ia ʻoku ʻi he feʻiteʻitani? Ko hai ʻoku papūnoa? Ko hai ʻoku lavea noa pe? Ko hai ʻoku kulokula hono mata?
30nonne his qui commorantur in vino, et student calicibus epotandis?
30Ko kinautolu ʻoku nofo fuoloa ke inu ke konā; ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻalu ke kumi ʻae uaine kuo felingiʻaki.
31Ne intuearis vinum quando flavescit, cum splenduerit in vitro color ejus: ingreditur blande,
31ʻOua naʻa ke sio ki he uaine ʻi heʻene kulokula, ʻi heʻene tuku hono lanu ʻi he ipu, pea ʻoku mālie hono inu.
32sed in novissimo mordebit ut coluber, et sicut regulus venena diffundet.
32Koeʻuhi ʻe uʻu ia ʻamui ʻo hangē ha ngata, pea huhu foki ʻo hangē ko e ngata kona.
33Oculi tui videbunt extraneas, et cor tuum loquetur perversa.
33ʻE sio ho mata ki he kau fefine anga kehe, pea ʻe fakahā mei ho loto ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakafufū.
34Et eris sicut dormiens in medio mari, et quasi sopitus gubernator, amisso clavo.
34ʻIo, te ke hangē ha taha ʻoku tokoto hifo ʻi loto tahi, pe ha taha ʻoku mohe ʻi ha funga fanā.
35Et dices: Verberaverunt me, sed non dolui; traxerunt me, et ego non sensi. Quando evigilabo, et rursus vina reperiam?]
35Te ke pehē ʻe koe, “Kuo nau taaʻi au, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u mamahi; pea kuo nau haha au, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u ongoʻi ia: te u ʻā ʻafē? Te u toe kumi pe ki ai.”
