1Ko e meʻa manuki ʻae kava, pea ko e meʻa fakatupu lili ʻae kava mālohi: pea ko ia kuo kākaaʻi ʻaki ia ʻoku taʻepoto.
1[Luxuriosa res vinum, et tumultuosa ebrietas: quicumque his delectatur non erit sapiens.
2Ko e tuputāmaki ʻoe tuʻi ʻoku hangē ko e ngungulu ʻae laione; pea ko ia ʻoku ne fakatupu ʻene houhau ʻoku fai angahala ia ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona.
2Sicut rugitus leonis, ita et terror regis: qui provocat eum peccat in animam suam.
3Ko e meʻa ongoongolelei ʻi ha tangata ke ne tuku ʻae kē: ka ʻoku fie kau ai ʻae vale kotoa pē.
3Honor est homini qui separat se a contentionibus; omnes autem stulti miscentur contumeliis.
4ʻOku ʻikai ke keli ʻae fakapikopiko koeʻuhi ko e momoko; ko ia te ne faʻa kole ai ʻi he ututaʻu, ka ʻe ʻikai maʻu ha meʻa.
4Propter frigus piger arare noluit; mendicabit ergo æstate, et non dabitur illi.

6Multi homines misericordes vocantur; virum autem fidelem quis inveniet?]
7ʻOku ʻeveʻeva ʻae tangata angatonu ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoni: ʻoku monūʻia ʻa ʻene fānau kimui ʻiate ia.
7[Justus qui ambulat in simplicitate sua beatos post se filios derelinquet.
8Ko e tuʻi ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa ʻoe fakamaau, ʻoku ne fakahēʻi ʻae kovi ʻaki hono fofonga.
8Rex qui sedet in solio judicii dissipat omne malum intuitu suo.
9Ko hai ʻoku ne faʻa lea ʻo pehē, “Kuo u fakamaʻa hoku loto, ʻoku ou maʻa au mei heʻeku angahala?”
9Quis potest dicere: Mundum est cor meum; purus sum a peccato?
10Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, mo e faikehekehe ʻi he fuofua meʻa, ʻoku fakatou fakalielia tatau kia Sihova.
10Pondus et pondus, mensura et mensura: utrumque abominabile est apud Deum.
11Naʻa mo e tamasiʻi, ʻoku ʻilo ia ʻi heʻene faianga; pe ʻoku maʻa ʻene ngāue, pe ʻoku totonu ia.
11Ex studiis suis intelligitur puer, si munda et recta sint opera ejus.
12Kuo fakatou ngaohi ʻe Sihova ʻae telinga ke fanongo mo e mata ke sio ʻaki.
12Aurem audientem, et oculum videntem: Dominus fecit utrumque.
13ʻOua naʻa ke manako ki he mohe, telia naʻa ke hoko ʻo masiva ai: ke ʻā pe ho mata, pea ʻe fakamākona koe ʻaki ʻae mā.
13Noli diligere somnum, ne te egestas opprimat: aperi oculos tuos, et saturare panibus.
14ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻoku fakatau, “Ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena, ko e meʻa noa pe ʻena,” ka ʻoka ʻalu ia ʻi hono hala, ʻoku ne toki polepole.
14Malum est, malum est, dicit omnis emptor; et cum recesserit, tunc gloriabitur.
15ʻOku ai ʻae koula, pea taʻefaʻalaua ʻae ngaahi maka koloa; ka ko e teunga mahuʻinga ʻae loungutu ʻoe poto.
15Est aurum et multitudo gemmarum, et vas pretiosum labia scientiæ.]
16Ke toʻo pe ʻae kofu ʻoʻona ʻoku tongia ha taha ʻoku taʻeʻiloʻi: pea ke maʻu mei ai ʻae tuku paʻanga ko e langomekina ʻoe fefine muli.
16[Tolle vestimentum ejus qui fidejussor extitit alieni, et pro extraneis aufer pignus ab eo.

21hæreditas ad quam festinatur in principio, in novissimo benedictione carebit.
22ʻOua naʻa ke pehē ʻe koe, “Te u totongi ʻeau ki he kovi;” ka ke tatali pe kia Sihova, pea te ne fakamoʻui koe.
22Ne dicas: Reddam malum: exspecta Dominum, et liberabit te.
23Ko e faikehekehe ʻi he fakamamafa meʻa, koe fakalielia ia kia Sihova: pea ko e meʻa fakamamafa kākā ʻoku ʻikai lelei ia.
23Abominatio est apud Dominum pondus et pondus; statera dolosa non est bona.

24A Domino diriguntur gressus viri: quis autem hominum intelligere potest viam suam?
25Ko e kai ʻoe meʻa ʻoku tapu ko e tauhele ia ki he tangata kuo ne fai ia: pea ʻoku pehē foki ʻae fai ʻoe fuakava, kae toki fehuʻi kimui ki hono ʻuhinga.
25Ruina est homini devorare sanctos, et post vota retractare.]
26ʻOku fakamovetevete ʻae angahala ʻe he tuʻi ʻoku poto; ʻo ne taʻomi ʻakinautolu ʻaki ʻae meʻa teka.
26[Dissipat impios rex sapiens, et incurvat super eos fornicem.
27Ko e laumālie ʻoe tangata ko e maama ia meia Sihova, ʻoku fakamaama ʻae potu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
27Lucerna Domini spiraculum hominis, quæ investigat omnia secreta ventris.

30Livor vulneris absterget mala, et plagæ in secretioribus ventris.]
