1[Quomodo nix in æstate, et pluviæ in messe, sic indecens est stulto gloria.
1ʻOku hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina ʻi he faʻahitaʻu mafana, mo e ʻuha ʻi he lolotonga ʻoe ututaʻu, ʻoku pehē hono taʻetaau ʻae ongoongolelei mo ha vale.
2Sicut avis ad alia transvolans, et passer quolibet vadens, sic maledictum frustra prolatum in quempiam superveniet.
2Hangē ko e manupuna ʻoku hēhē, pea mo e pekepeka ʻi heʻene puna, ʻoku pehē, ʻe ʻikai hoko mai ʻae fakamalaʻia taʻehanoʻuhinga.
3Flagellum equo, et camus asino, et virga in dorso imprudentium.
3Ko e meʻa kinisi ki he hoosi, mo e meʻa taʻofi ki he ʻasi, pea mo e meʻa tā ki he tuʻa ʻoe vale.
4Ne respondeas stulto juxta stultitiam suam, ne efficiaris ei similis.
4ʻOua naʻa tali ʻaki ʻae vale ʻa ʻene vale, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo tatau pe mo ia.
5Responde stulto juxta stultitiam suam, ne sibi sapiens esse videatur.
5Ke talia ʻae vale ʻo fakatatau mo ʻene vale, telia naʻa poto ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
6Claudus pedibus, et iniquitatem bibens, qui mittit verba per nuntium stultum.
6Ko ia ʻoku ne ʻave ha fekau ʻi he nima ʻo ha taha ʻoku vale ʻoku ne tuʻusi ʻae vaʻe, mo inu ʻi he fakamamahi.
7Quomodo pulchras frustra habet claudus tibias, sic indecens est in ore stultorum parabola.
7ʻOku ʻikai tatau ʻae vaʻe ʻoe tangata ketu: ʻoku pehē foki ʻae lea fakatātā ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
8Sicut qui mittit lapidem in acervum Mercurii, ita qui tribuit insipienti honorem.
8ʻOku hangē ha taha ʻoku ne ai ʻae maka ʻi he makatā, ʻoku pehē pe ia ʻaia ʻoku fakaongoongoleleiʻi ʻae vale.
9Quomodo si spina nascatur in manu temulenti, sic parabola in ore stultorum.
9ʻOku hangē ko e tau ʻae talaʻi ʻakau ʻi he nima ʻoe tangata konā, ʻoku pehē pe ʻae lea fakatātā ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kakai vale.
10Judicium determinat causas, et qui imponit stulto silentium iras mitigat.
10Ko e ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe ngaohi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ne fakatou ʻatu ʻae totongi ki he vale, pea mo e kau fai kovi.
11Sicut canis qui revertitur ad vomitum suum, sic imprudens qui iterat stultitiam suam.
11Hangē ko e tafoki mai ʻae kulī ki heʻene lua, ʻoku pehē ʻae toe fai ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
12Vidisti hominem sapientem sibi videri? magis illo spem habebit insipiens.]
12ʻOku ke mamata ki ha tangata ʻoku ne mahalo kiate ia ko e poto ia? ʻOku tau ʻamanaki lelei hake ki he vale ʻiate ia.
13[Dicit piger: Leo est in via, et leæna in itineribus.
13ʻOku pehē ʻe he tangata fakapikopiko, “ʻOku ai ʻae laione ʻi he hala: ʻoku ʻi he hala ʻoe kolo ʻae laione.”
14Sicut ostium vertitur in cardine suo, ita piger in lectulo suo.
14Hangē ko e feʻaluʻaki ʻae matapā ʻi hono meʻa tautau, ʻoku pehē ʻaia ʻoku fakapikopiko ʻi hono mohenga.
15Abscondit piger manum sub ascella sua, et laborat si ad os suum eam converterit.
15ʻOku fakafufū ʻe he fakapikopiko ʻa hono nima ʻi hono fatafata; pea ʻoku mamahi ia ʻi heʻene toe ʻomi ia ki hono ngutu.
16Sapientior sibi piger videtur septem viris loquentibus sententias.]
16ʻOku poto hake ʻae fakapikopiko ʻi heʻene mahalo ʻaʻana, ʻi he kau tangata ʻe toko fitu ʻoku faʻa tali ʻaki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
17[Sicut qui apprehendit auribus canem, sic qui transit impatiens et commiscetur rixæ alterius.
17Ko ia ʻoku ʻalu ange, pea ne kaunoa ʻi ha fakakikihi naʻe ʻikai kau ai ia, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku puke ha kulī ʻi hono telinga.
18Sicut noxius est qui mittit sagittas et lanceas in mortem,
18Hangē ha tangata faha ʻoku lī fano ʻe ia ʻae afi, mo e ngaahi ngahau, mo e mate,
19ita vir fraudulenter nocet amico suo, et cum fuerit deprehensus dicit: Ludens feci.
19ʻOku pehē pe ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kākaaʻi hono kaungāʻapi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻIkai ko ʻeku fakavā pe?”
20Cum defecerint ligna extinguetur ignis, et susurrone subtracto, jurgia conquiescent.
20ʻI he ʻikai ha fefie ʻoku mate ʻae afi: pea pehē, ʻi he ʻikai ha fakakovi kuo longo leva ʻae fakakikihi.
21Sicut carbones ad prunas, et ligna ad ignem, sic homo iracundus suscitat rixas.
21Hangē ko e malamala ki he malala vela, mo e fefie ki he afi; ʻoku pehē ʻae tangata faʻa fakakikihi kē.
22Verba susurronis quasi simplicia, et ipsa perveniunt ad intima ventris.
22Ko e ngaahi lea ʻae tangata faʻa fafana ʻoku hangē ia ko e ngaahi makafokafo, pea ʻoku ʻasi mai ia ki he kakano ʻoe loto.
23Quomodo si argento sordido ornare velis vas fictile, sic labia tumentia cum pessimo corde sociata.
23Ko e loungutu lapu mo e loto kovi, ʻoku tatau mo ha konga ipu maumau kuo ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae siliva.
24Labiis suis intelligitur inimicus, cum in corde tractaverit dolos.
24Ko ia ʻoku taufehiʻa, ʻoku lapu ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa hono loungutu, ka ʻoku nofo ʻi hono loto ʻae kākā;
25Quando submiserit vocem suam, ne credideris ei, quoniam septem nequitiæ sunt in corde illius.
25ʻOka matamatalelei ʻene lea, ʻoua naʻa ke tui kiate ia: he ʻoku fitu ʻae meʻa fakalielia ʻi hono loto.
26Qui operit odium fraudulenter, revelabitur malitia ejus in consilio.
26Ko ia ʻoku ne fakafufū ʻene fehiʻa ʻaki ʻa ʻene fai kākā, ʻe fakahā ʻa ʻene fai kovi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha kotoa pē.
27Qui fodit foveam incidet in eam, et qui volvit lapidem revertetur ad eum.
27Ko ia ʻoku keli ʻae luo ʻe tō ia ki ai: pea ko ia ʻoku tekaʻi ʻae maka ʻe toe ʻoho mai ia kiate ia.
28Lingua fallax non amat veritatem, et os lubricum operatur ruinas.]
28ʻOku fehiʻa ʻae ʻelelo loi kiate kinautolu ʻoku mamahi ai; pea ʻoku tupu ʻae malaʻia mei he ngutu ʻoku lapu.
