1Ko au Semisi, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua, pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua kuo fakahē mamaʻo, ʻofa atu.
1Jacobus, Dei et Domini nostri Jesu Christi servus, duodecim tribubus, quæ sunt in dispersione, salutem.
2ʻE hoku kāinga, ʻoka mou ka tō ki he ngaahi ʻahiʻahi kehekehe, ui ia kotoa pē ko e meʻa fakafiefia;
2Omne gaudium existimate fratres mei, cum in tentationes varias incideritis:
3ʻO ʻilo, ko e ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo hoʻomou tui, ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻae kātaki.
3scientes quod probatio fidei vestræ patientiam operatur.
4Kae tuku ʻae kātaki ke ngāue ki he haohaoa, koeʻuhi ke mou haohaoa mo māʻopoʻopo, ʻo taʻemasiva ʻi ha meʻa.
4Patientia autem opus perfectum habet: ut sitis perfecti et integri in nullo deficientes.
5Ka ai hamou taha ʻoku masiva ʻi he poto, ke kole ʻe ia ki he ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki lahi ki he kakai kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai valokiʻi; pea ʻe foaki ia kiate ia.
5Si quis autem vestrum indiget sapientia, postulet a Deo, qui dat omnibus affluenter, et non improperat: et dabitur ei.
6Ka ʻe lelei ʻene kole ʻi he tui, ʻo taʻefakataʻetaʻetui. He ko ia ʻoku fakataʻetaʻetui ʻoku hangē ia ko e peau ʻoe tahi ʻoku fakateka mo feliliʻaki ʻe he matangi.
6Postulet autem in fide nihil hæsitans: qui enim hæsitat, similis est fluctui maris, qui a vento movetur et circumfertur:
7Ke ʻoua naʻa mahalo ʻe he tangata ko ia ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ha meʻa mei he ʻEiki.
7non ergo æstimet homo ille quod accipiat aliquid a Domino.
8Ko e tangata ʻoku lotolotoua, ʻoku taʻemaau ʻi heʻene anga kotoa pē.
8Vir duplex animo inconstans est in omnibus viis suis.
9Ke fiefia ʻae tokoua ʻoku masiva ʻi hono hakeakiʻi:
9Glorietur autem frater humilis in exaltatione sua:
10Ka ko e maʻumeʻa, ʻi hono fakaangavaivaiʻi: koeʻuhi ʻe mole atu ia ʻo hangē ko e fisi ʻoe mohuku.
10dives autem in humilitate sua, quoniam sicut flos fœni transibit;
11He ʻoku ʻalu hake ʻae laʻā mo e vela lahi, pea ne fakamae ʻae mohuku, pea ngangana ai hono fisi ʻoʻona, pea ʻauha mo e fakaʻofoʻofa ʻo hono ngaohi: ʻe pehē foki ʻae ʻauha ʻoe tangata koloaʻia mei hono hala.
11exortus est enim sol cum ardore, et arefecit fœnum, et flos ejus decidit, et decor vultus ejus deperiit: ita et dives in itineribus suis marcescet.
12ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku ne kātaki ʻae ʻahiʻahi: he ʻoka ʻilo ia ʻoku lelei, ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae pale ʻoe moʻui, ʻaia kuo talaʻofa ki ai ʻae ʻEiki kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia.
12Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem: quoniam cum probatus fuerit, accipiet coronam vitæ, quam repromisit Deus diligentibus se.
13Ke ʻoua naʻa pehē ʻe ha taha ʻoka ʻahiʻahi koviʻi ia, Kuo ʻahiʻahi koviʻi au ʻe he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai faʻa ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ʻOtua ʻe he kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻahiʻahi koviʻi ʻe ia ha tokotaha:
13Nemo cum tentatur, dicat quoniam a Deo tentatur: Deus enim intentator malorum est: ipse autem neminem tentat.
14Ka kuo ʻahiʻahi koviʻi ʻae tangata, ʻaia kuo takiekina, pea fakaoloolo, ʻe heʻene holi ʻaʻana.
14Unusquisque vero tentatur a concupiscentia sua abstractus, et illectus.
15Pea ʻoka tuituʻia ʻae holi kovi, ʻoku fanauʻi ko e angahala: pea ka kakato ʻae angahala, ʻoku fanauʻi ai ʻae mate.
15Deinde concupiscentia cum conceperit, parit peccatum: peccatum vero cum consummatum fuerit, generat mortem.
16ʻE hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ʻoua naʻa mou hē.
16Nolite itaque errare, fratres mei dilectissimi.
17Ko e foaki lelei kotoa pē mo e foaki haohaoa kotoa pē ʻoku mei ʻolunga, pea ʻoku ʻalu hifo ia mei he Tamai ʻoe ngaahi maama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha fetoʻoaki, pe ko e ʻata ʻae feliliuʻaki.
17Omne datum optimum, et omne donum perfectum desursum est, descendens a Patre luminum, apud quem non est transmutatio, nec vicissitudinis obumbratio.
18Pea ko hono finangalo pe ʻoʻona naʻa ne fakatupu ai ʻakitautolu ʻaki ʻae folofola ʻoe moʻoni, koeʻuhi ke tau hoko ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻi hono kakai.
18Voluntarie enim genuit nos verbo veritatis, ut simus initium aliquod creaturæ ejus.
19Ko ia, ko hoku kāinga ʻofeina, ke fakavave ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki he fanongo, pea fakatuotuai ki he lea, ʻo fakatotoka ki he ʻita:
19Scitis, fratres mei dilectissimi. Sit autem omnis homo velox ad audiendum: tardus autem ad loquendum, et tardus ad iram.
20He ʻoku ʻikai ke fakatupu ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻoe ʻOtua ʻe he ʻita ʻae tangata.
20Ira enim viri justitiam Dei non operatur.
21Ko ia mou liʻaki ʻae ʻuli kotoa pē pea mo hono lahi fau ʻoe angahala, pea tali ʻi he angavaivai ʻae folofola kuo tō, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi ke fakamoʻui homou laumālie.
21Propter quod abjicientes omnem immunditiam, et abundantiam malitiæ, in mansuetudine suscipite insitum verbum, quod potest salvare animas vestras.
22Ka ke fai ʻekimoutolu ki he folofola, pea ʻoua naʻa ngata ʻi he fanongo, ʻo mou kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu.
22Estote autem factores verbi, et non auditores tantum: fallentes vosmetipsos.
23He kapau ʻoku fanongo ʻe ha taha ki ne folofola, kae ʻikai fai, ʻoku tatau ia mo ha taha ʻoku ne fakasio ki he mata ʻo hono sino ʻi ha sioʻata:
23Quia si quis auditor est verbi, et non factor, hic comparabitur viro consideranti vultum nativitatis suæ in speculo:
24He ʻoku ne fakasio kiate ia, pea ʻalu, pea ngalo leva ʻiate ia pe ʻoku matamata fēfē ia.
24consideravit enim se, et abiit, et statim oblitus est qualis fuerit.
25Ka ko ia ʻoku sio fakamamaʻu ki he fono haohaoa ʻoe tauʻatāina, pea fai maʻuaipē ki ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai fanongo mo ngalo, ka ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngāue, ʻe monūʻia ʻae tangata ni ʻi heʻene ngāue.
25Qui autem perspexerit in legem perfectam libertatis, et permanserit in ea, non auditor obliviosus factus, sed factor operis: hic beatus in facto suo erit.
26Kapau ʻoku ai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku ne mahalo ko e lotu ia, kae ʻikai taʻofi hono ʻelelo, kae kākaaʻi hono loto ʻoʻona, ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻae lotu ʻae tangata ko ia.
26Si quis autem putat se religiosum esse, non refrenans linguam suam, sed seducens cor suum, hujus vana est religio.
27Ko e lotu māʻoniʻoni mo taʻehanomele ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ko e Tamai, ko eni ia, Ke ʻaʻahi ki he ngaahi tamai mate mo e kau fefine kuo mate honau husepāniti, ʻi heʻenau mamahi, pea ke fakaʻehiʻehi ia mei māmani ke taʻehanomele.
27Religio munda et immaculata apud Deum et Patrem, hæc est: visitare pupillos et viduas in tribulatione eorum, et immaculatum se custodire ab hoc sæculo.
