Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Ko ia ke faʻifaʻitaki ʻakimoutolu ki he ʻOtua, ʻo taau mo e fānau ʻofeina;
1Estote ergo imitatores Dei, sicut filii carissimi,
2Pea ʻaʻeva ʻi he ʻofa, ʻo hangē ko e ʻofeina ʻakitautolu ʻe Kalaisi, ʻo ne foaki ia koeʻuhi ko kitautolu ko e hifo mo e feilaulau ki he ʻOtua ko e meʻa namu kakala.
2et ambulate in dilectione, sicut et Christus dilexit nos, et tradidit semetipsum pro nobis, oblationem et hostiam Deo in odorem suavitatis.
3Ka ko e feʻauaki, mo e ʻuli kotoa pē, mo e manumanu, ke ʻoua naʻa lea tuʻo taha ki ai ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku taau mo e kāinga māʻoniʻoni;
3Fornicatio autem, et omnis immunditia, aut avaritia, nec nominetur in vobis, sicut decet sanctos:
4Pea ko e fakalielia, mo e talanoa launoa, mo e fiengutuhua, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai lelei: kae lelei lahi ʻae fakafetaʻi.
4aut turpitudo, aut stultiloquium, aut scurrilitas, quæ ad rem non pertinet: sed magis gratiarum actio.
5He ʻoku mou ʻilo eni, ʻoku ʻikai ha feʻauaki, pe ha taha ʻuli, pe ha tangata manumanu, ʻaia ko e tauhi tamapua, te ne maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo Kalaisi mo e ʻOtua.
5Hoc enim scitote intelligentes: quod omnis fornicator, aut immundus, aut avarus, quod est idolorum servitus, non habet hæreditatem in regno Christi et Dei.
6ʻOua naʻa kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea launoa: he koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi meʻa ni ʻoku hoko ai ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fānau talangataʻa.
6Nemo vos seducat inanibus verbis: propter hæc enim venit ira Dei in filios diffidentiæ.
7Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou kau fakataha mo kinautolu.
7Nolite ergo effici participes eorum.
8He naʻa mou fakapoʻuli ʻi muʻa, ka kuo mou māmangia eni ʻi he ʻEiki: mou ʻaʻeva ʻo taau mo e fānau ʻoe maama:
8Eratis enim aliquando tenebræ: nunc autem lux in Domino. Ut filii lucis ambulate:
9(He ko e fua ʻoe Laumālie ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi angalelei kotoa pē mo e māʻoniʻoni mo e moʻoni:)
9fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate, et justitia, et veritate:
10ʻO ʻilo ai ʻaia ʻoku lelei ki he ʻEiki.
10probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo:
11Pea ʻoua naʻa mou kau ʻi he ngaahi ngāue taʻefua ʻoe fakapoʻuli, ka mou valokiʻi muʻa ia.
11et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum, magis autem redarguite.
12He ko e meʻa fakamā ke lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai ʻekinautolu ʻi he fufū.
12Quæ enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis, turpe est et dicere.
13Ka ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē kuo hā kuo fakahā ia ʻe he maama: he ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku fakahā, ko e maama ia.
13Omnia autem, quæ arguuntur, a lumine manifestantur: omne enim, quod manifestatur, lumen est.
14Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe ia, “ʻĀ, ʻa koe ʻoku mohe, pea tuʻu hake mei he mate, pea ʻe foaki ʻe Kalaisi ʻae maama kiate koe.”
14Propter quod dicit: Surge qui dormis, et exsurge a mortuis, et illuminabit te Christus.
15Ko ia mou vakai ke mou ʻaʻeva fakaʻehiʻehi, ʻikai hangē ko e kau vale, kae hangē ko e poto,
15Videte itaque, fratres, quomodo caute ambuletis: non quasi insipientes,
16ʻO ngāueʻaki ʻae kuonga ke lelei, koeʻuhi ʻoku kovi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho.
16sed ut sapientes: redimentes tempus, quoniam dies mali sunt.
17Ko ia ke ʻoua naʻa mou taʻepoto, ka mou ʻilo pe ko e hā ʻae finangalo ʻoe ʻEiki.
17Propterea nolite fieri imprudentes, sed intelligentes quæ sit voluntas Dei.
18Pea ʻoua naʻa konā ʻi he uaine, ʻaia ʻoku tupu ai ʻae fakalielia; ka ke fonu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he Laumālie;
18Et nolite inebriari vino, in quo est luxuria, sed implemini Spiritu Sancto,
19ʻO fealēleaʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi saame, mo e himi, mo e hiva fakalaumālie, ʻo hiva ke ʻai ʻae mālie ʻi homou loto ki he ʻEiki;
19loquentes vobismetipsis in psalmis, et hymnis, et canticis spiritualibus, cantantes et psallentes in cordibus vestris Domino,
20ʻO ʻatu ʻae fakafetaʻi maʻuaipē ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻi he huafa ʻo hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi;
20gratias agentes semper pro omnibus in nomine Domini nostri Jesu Christi Deo et Patri,
21ʻO fefakavaivaiʻaki ʻakimoutolu kiate kimoutolu ʻi he manavahē ki he ʻOtua.
21subjecti invicem in timore Christi.
22ʻAe kau fefine, mou fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou husepāniti ʻomoutolu, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki.
22Mulieres viris suis subditæ sint, sicut Domino:
23He ko e ʻulu ʻoe fefine ʻae husepāniti, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻulu ʻa Kalaisi ki he siasi: pea ko e fakamoʻui ia ʻoe sino.
23quoniam vir caput est mulieris, sicut Christus caput est Ecclesiæ: ipse, salvator corporis ejus.
24Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku anganofo ʻae siasi kia Kalaisi, ke pehē ʻae kau fefine ki honau husepāniti ʻonautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
24Sed sicut Ecclesia subjecta est Christo, ita et mulieres viris suis in omnibus.
25ʻAe kau tangata, mou ʻofa ki homou uaifi, ʻo hangē ko e ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi ki he siasi, ʻo ne foaki ia koeʻuhi ko ia;
25Viri, diligite uxores vestras, sicut et Christus dilexit Ecclesiam, et seipsum tradidit pro ea,
26Koeʻuhi ke ne fakatapui mo fakamaʻa ia ʻi he fufulu ʻoe vai ʻi he folofola,
26ut illam sanctificaret, mundans lavacro aquæ in verbo vitæ,
27Koeʻuhi ke ne ʻatu ia kiate ia ko e siasi kuo teunga lahi, pea ʻikai hano ʻila, pe ha feʻufeʻu, pe ha meʻa pehē ʻe taha; ka koeʻuhi ke māʻoniʻoni pea taʻehanomele.
27ut exhiberet ipse sibi gloriosam Ecclesiam, non habentem maculam, aut rugam, aut aliquid hujusmodi, sed ut sit sancta et immaculata.
28ʻOku totonu ke ʻofa ʻae kau tangata ki honau uaifi ʻo hangē ko honau sino ʻonautolu, Ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki hono uaifi, ʻoku ʻofa ia kiate ia.
28Ita et viri debent diligere uxores suas ut corpora sua. Qui suam uxorem diligit, seipsum diligit.
29He ʻoku teʻeki ha tangata ʻe fehiʻa ki hono sino ʻoʻona; ka ʻoku fafanga ʻo fakamoʻui ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻEiki ki he siasi:
29Nemo enim umquam carnem suam odio habuit: sed nutrit et fovet eam, sicut et Christus Ecclesiam:
30He ko e ngaahi kupu ʻakitautolu ʻo hono sino, ʻo hono kakano, mo hono hui.
30quia membra sumus corporis ejus, de carne ejus et de ossibus ejus.
31“Ko e meʻa ni ʻe tukuange ai ʻe he tangata ʻa ʻene tamai mo ʻene faʻē, pea hoko ia ki hono uaifi, pea ʻe kakano taha pe ʻakinaua.”
31Propter hoc relinquet homo patrem et matrem suam, et adhærebit uxori suæ, et erunt duo in carne una.
32Ko e meʻa fakalilolilo lahi eni: ka ʻoku kau ʻeku lea kia Kalaisi mo e siasi.
32Sacramentum hoc magnum est, ego autem dico in Christo et in Ecclesia.
33Ka mou taki taha ʻofa ʻae tangata ki hono uaifi ʻo hangē pe ko ia; pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae fefine foki ki hono husepāniti.
33Verumtamen et vos singuli, unusquisque uxorem suam sicut seipsum diligat: uxor autem timeat virum suum.
