1ʻOku ongoʻi ʻe he foha ʻoku poto ʻae akonaki ʻa ʻene tamai: ka ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻae valoki ʻe he faʻa manuki.
1[Filius sapiens doctrina patris; qui autem illusor est non audit cum arguitur.
2ʻE kai ʻe he tangata ʻae lelei ʻi he fua ʻo hono ngutu: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakamālohi ki he laumālie ʻoe kakai fai kovi.
2De fructu oris sui homo satiabitur bonis: anima autem prævaricatorum iniqua.
3Ko ia ʻoku vakai ki hono ngutu, ʻoku tauhi ʻe ia ʻene moʻui: ka ʻe hoko ʻae fakaʻauha kiate ia ʻoku fakamanga lahi hono loungutu.
3Qui custodit os suum custodit animam suam; qui autem inconsideratus est ad loquendum, sentiet mala.
4ʻOku holi ʻae laumālie ʻoe fakapikopiko, ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne maʻu ha meʻa: ka ʻe fafangaʻi ʻae laumālie ʻoe faʻa ngāue.
4Vult et non vult piger; anima autem operantium impinguabitur.
5ʻOku fehiʻa ki he loi ʻae tangata māʻoniʻoni: ka ko e tangata angahala ko e fakalielia ia, pea ʻoku hoko ia ʻo mā.
5Verbum mendax justus detestabitur; impius autem confundit, et confundetur.
6ʻOku fokotuʻumaʻu ʻi hono hala ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ʻaia ʻoku angatonu; ka ʻoku tulaki hifo ʻe he kovi ʻaia ʻoku angahala.
6Justitia custodit innocentis viam, impietas autem peccatorem supplantat.]
7ʻOku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamaʻumeʻaʻi ia, ka ʻoku ne masiva pe: pea ʻoku ai ʻaia ʻoku ne fakamasivaʻi ia, ka ʻoku maʻu ʻe ia ʻae koloa lahi.
7[Est quasi dives, cum nihil habeat, et est quasi pauper, cum in multis divitiis sit.
8Ko e koloa ʻae tangata ko e huhuʻi ia ʻo ʻene moʻui: ka ʻoku ʻikai fanongo ki he valoki ʻae masiva.
8Redemptio animæ viri divitiæ suæ; qui autem pauper est, increpationem non sustinet.
9ʻOku fiefia ʻae maama ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ka ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae maama ʻoe angahala.
9Lux justorum lætificat: lucerna autem impiorum extinguetur.
10ʻOku tupu pe ʻi he fielahi ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻoku maʻu ʻae poto ʻekinautolu kuo akonakiʻi lelei.
10Inter superbos semper jurgia sunt; qui autem agunt omnia cum consilio, reguntur sapientia.
11Ko e koloa ʻoku maʻu ʻi he vikiviki ʻe fakaʻaʻau ia ke ʻosi: ka ʻe fakalahi ia kiate ia ʻoku tānaki ʻi he faʻa ngāue.
11Substantia festinata minuetur; quæ autem paulatim colligitur manu, multiplicabitur.
12ʻOku pongia ʻae loto ʻi he ʻamanaki ʻoku tuai ʻene hoko: pea ka hoko mai ʻaia ʻoku holi ki ai, ʻoku hangē ia ko e ʻakau ʻoe moʻui.
12Spes quæ differtur affligit animam; lignum vitæ desiderium veniens.]
13ʻE fakaʻauha ia ʻaia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he folofola: ka ʻe fiemālie pe ia ʻaia ʻoku manavahē ki he fekau.
13[Qui detrahit alicui rei, ipse se in futurum obligat; qui autem timet præceptum, in pace versabitur. Animæ dolosæ errant in peccatis: justi autem misericordes sunt, et miserantur.
14Ko e fono ʻae poto ko e matavai ia ʻoe moʻui, ke tau hao ai mei he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate.
14Lex sapientis fons vitæ, ut declinet a ruina mortis.
15ʻOku tupu mei he fakakaukau lelei ʻae ʻofa: ka ʻoku faingataʻa ʻae hala ʻoe kakai angahala.
15Doctrina bona dabit gratiam; in itinere contemptorum vorago.
16ʻOku faʻa kau ki he ʻilo ʻae tangata fakapotopoto: ka ʻoku fakahā pe ʻe he vale ʻa ʻene vale.
16Astutus omnia agit cum consilio; qui autem fatuus est aperit stultitiam.
17ʻOku tō ki he kovi ʻae talafekau angakovi: ka ko e fakamoʻui ʻae talafekau ʻoku angatonu.
17Nuntius impii cadet in malum; legatus autem fidelis, sanitas.
18ʻE hoko ʻae masiva mo e mā kiate ia ʻoku ne tekeʻi ʻae akonaki: ka ʻe hakeakiʻi ia ʻaia ʻoku tokanga ki he valoki.
18Egestas et ignominia ei qui deserit disciplinam; qui autem acquiescit arguenti glorificabitur.
19ʻOku huʻamelie ki he laumālie ʻae hoko mai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tau holi ki ai: ka ko e meʻa fakalielia ki he vale ʻae tafoki mei he kovi.
19Desiderium si compleatur delectat animam; detestantur stulti eos qui fugiunt mala.
20Ko ia ʻoku ʻaʻeva fakataha mo e kakai poto ʻe poto ai ia: ka ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai vale.
20Qui cum sapientibus graditur sapiens erit; amicus stultorum similis efficietur.]
21ʻOku tulia ʻae kau angahala ʻe he kovi: ka ʻe toe totongi ʻaki ʻae lelei kiate kinautolu ʻoku māʻoniʻoni.
21[Peccatores persequitur malum, et justis retribuentur bona.
22ʻOku tuku ʻae tofiʻa ʻe he tangata angalelei ki he fānau ʻa ʻene fānau: ka ko e koloa ʻae angahala kuo tānaki maʻa e kakai angatonu.
22Bonus reliquit hæredes filios et nepotes, et custoditur justo substantia peccatoris.
23ʻOku ai ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻi he faʻa keli ʻae masiva: ka ʻoku ai ʻoku maumauʻi ko e meʻa ʻi he masiva poto.
23Multi cibi in novalibus patrum, et aliis congregantur absque judicio.
24Ko ia ʻoku ne taʻofi ʻene meʻa kinikinisi ʻoku ne fehiʻa ki hono foha: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ai ʻoku ne tautea ia ʻoka ʻaonga ke fai.
24Qui parcit virgæ odit filium suum; qui autem diligit illum instanter erudit.
25ʻOku kai ʻe he māʻoniʻoni ke fakamākona hono laumālie: ka ʻe fiekaia ʻae kete ʻoe angahala.
25Justus comedit et replet animam suam; venter autem impiorum insaturabilis.]
