Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1ʻOua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke holi ke kau mo kinautolu.
1[Ne æmuleris viros malos, nec desideres esse cum eis:
2He ʻoku fakakaukau ʻa honau loto ki he fakaʻauha, pea lea ʻa honau loungutu ki he fakamaveuveu.
2quia rapinas meditatur mens eorum, et fraudes labia eorum loquuntur.
3Ko e meʻa ʻi he poto ʻoku langa ai ha fale; pea ʻoku fokotuʻumaʻu ia ʻi he faʻa fakakaukau:
3Sapientia ædificabitur domus, et prudentia roborabitur.
4Pea ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻa ʻilo ʻe fakapito ai ʻae ngaahi potu fale ʻaki ʻae ngaahi koloa mahuʻinga mo lelei.
4In doctrina replebuntur cellaria, universa substantia pretiosa et pulcherrima.
5ʻOku mālohi ʻae tangata ʻoku poto, ʻio, ʻoku fakatupu ʻe he tangata faʻa ʻilo ʻa hono mālohi.
5Vir sapiens fortis est, et vir doctus robustus et validus:
6He te ke fakahoko hoʻo tau ʻi he fakakaukau poto: pea ʻi he tokolahi ʻa hono fakakaukauʻi ʻoku ai ʻae tuʻumālie.
6quia cum dispositione initur bellum, et erit salus ubi multa consilia sunt.
7ʻOku ʻikai faʻa tatae ʻae poto ʻe he vale: ʻoku ʻikai mafaʻa hono ngutu ʻi he matapā.
7Excelsa stulto sapientia; in porta non aperiet os suum.
8Ko ia ʻoku filioʻi ki he fai ʻo ha kovi ʻe ui ia ko e tangata pauʻu.
8Qui cogitat mala facere stultus vocabitur:
9Ko e mahalo ʻae vale ko e angahala ia: pea ko ia ʻoku faʻa manuki ko e fakalielia ia ki he kakai.
9cogitatio stulti peccatum est, et abominatio hominum detractor.
10Kapau te ke pongia ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, ta ʻoku siʻi ho mālohi.
10Si desperaveris lassus in die angustiæ, imminuetur fortitudo tua.]
11Kapau te ke taʻofi ke ʻoua naʻa ke fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kuo takina ki he mate, pea mo kinautolu kuo teu ke tāmateʻi;
11[Erue eos qui ducuntur ad mortem, et qui trahuntur ad interitum, liberare ne cesses.
12Kapau te ke pehē, “Vakai, naʻe ʻikai te mau ʻilo ki ai;” ʻikai ʻoku tokangaʻi ia ʻe ia ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻae loto? Pea ko ia ʻoku ne tauhi ho laumālie, ʻikai ʻoku ne ʻilo ia ki ai? Pea ʻikai ʻe ʻatu ʻe ia ki he tangata taki taha ʻae fakatatau ʻo ʻene ngaahi ngāue?
12Si dixeris: Vires non suppetunt; qui inspector est cordis ipse intelligit: et servatorem animæ tuæ nihil fallit, reddetque homini juxta opera sua.
13ʻE hoku foha, kai ʻe koe ʻae honi, koeʻuhi ʻoku lelei ia; pea mo e ngeʻesi ʻoe hone ʻaia ʻoku melie ki ho ngutu:
13Comede, fili mi, mel, quia bonum est, et favum dulcissimum gutturi tuo.
14ʻE pehē ʻae ʻiloʻi ʻoe poto ki ho laumālie: ʻoka ke ka maʻu ia, ʻe hoko ai ʻae totongi, pea ʻe ʻikai motuhi hoʻo ʻamanaki.
14Sic et doctrina sapientiæ animæ tuæ: quam cum inveneris, habebis in novissimis spem, et spes tua non peribit.
15ʻE tangata angakovi, ʻoua naʻa ke toiʻi mo lamasi ʻae fale ʻoe māʻoniʻoni; ʻoua naʻa ke maumauʻi hono nofoʻanga:
15Ne insidieris, et quæras impietatem in domo justi, neque vastes requiem ejus.
16He ka hinga ʻae tangata angatonu ke liunga fitu, ʻoku ne toetuʻu hake: ka ʻe tō ʻae angahala ki he kovi.
16Septies enim cadet justus, et resurget: impii autem corruent in malum.
17ʻOua naʻa ke fiefia ʻoka tō hifo ho fili, pea ʻoua naʻa fiefia ho loto ʻoka tūkia ia:
17Cum ceciderit inimicus tuus ne gaudeas, et in ruina ejus ne exsultet cor tuum:
18Telia naʻa ʻafioʻi ia ʻe Sihova, pea kovi ia ʻi hono ʻao, pea ne fakatafoki hono houhau meiate ia.
18ne forte videat Dominus, et displiceat ei, et auferat ab eo iram suam.
19ʻOua naʻa ke kau mo e kakai angakovi, pea ʻoua naʻa ke meheka ki he kakai angahala;
19Ne contendas cum pessimis, nec æmuleris impios:
20Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai ha totongi lelei ki he angakovi: ʻe tāmateʻi ke mate ʻae maama ʻae angahala.
20quoniam non habent futurorum spem mali, et lucerna impiorum extinguetur.
21ʻE hoku foha, ke ke manavahē koe kia Sihova, pea mo e tuʻi: pea ʻoua naʻa ke kau kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto feliliuʻaki:
21Time Dominum, fili mi, et regem, et cum detractoribus non commiscearis:
22Koeʻuhi ʻe tupu fakafokifā ʻenau tuʻutāmaki; pea ko hai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hona tautea fakatouʻosi?
22quoniam repente consurget perditio eorum, et ruinam utriusque quis novit?]
23Ko e ngaahi meʻa ni foki ʻoku kau ki he poto. ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke filifilimānako ki he kakai ʻi he fai ʻoe fakamaau.
23Hæc quoque sapientibus. [Cognoscere personam in judicio non est bonum.
24Ko ia ʻoku lea ʻo pehē ki he angakovi, “Ko e māʻoniʻoni koe;” ʻe fakamalaʻia ia ʻe he kakai, ʻe fehiʻa ʻaupito ki ai ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga:
24Qui dicunt impio: Justus es: maledicent eis populi, et detestabuntur eos tribus.
25Ka ʻe hoko ʻae monūʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku valokiʻi ia, mo e tāpuaki ʻoe lelei ʻe hoko kiate kinautolu.
25Qui arguunt eum laudabuntur, et super ipsos veniet benedictio.
26ʻE fekita ʻae kakai ki hono loungutu ʻo ia ʻoku faʻa tali aki ʻae lea ʻoku totonu.
26Labia deosculabitur qui recta verba respondet.
27Ke teuteu hoʻo ngāue ʻituʻa, pea ke teuteu ia ke taau mo koe ʻae ngoue; pea ke toki langa ho fale.
27Præpara foris opus tuum, et diligenter exerce agrum tuum, ut postea ædifices domum tuam.
28ʻOua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni meʻa ki ho kaungāʻapi taʻehanototonu; pea ʻoua naʻa ke kākā ʻaki ho loungutu.
28Ne sis testis frustra contra proximum tuum, nec lactes quemquam labiis tuis.
29ʻOua naʻa ke pehē, “Te u fai kiate ia ʻo hangē ko ʻene fai kiate au: te u ʻatu ki he tangata ʻo tatau mo ʻene ngāue.”
29Ne dicas: Quomodo fecit mihi, sic faciam ei; reddam unicuique secundum opus suum.]
30Naʻaku ʻalu atu ki he ngoue ʻae fakapikopiko, mo e ngoue vaine ʻae tangata taʻefakakaukau;
30[Per agrum hominis pigri transivi, et per vineam viri stulti:
31Pea vakai, kuo vaoa ia ʻi he ʻakau talatala, pea ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki ʻae talatalaʻāmoa, pea kuo maumau hono ʻā maka ʻo ia.
31et ecce totum repleverant urticæ, et operuerant superficiem ejus spinæ, et maceria lapidum destructa erat.
32Naʻaku toki mamata, pea u fifili lahi ki ai: naʻaku sio ki ai, pea ne akonakiʻi au.
32Quod cum vidissem, posui in corde meo, et exemplo didici disciplinam.
33ʻIo, ʻe toe siʻi pe ʻae mohe, ʻe toe siʻi mo e moʻumohea, ʻe toe siʻi mo e fehulunaki ʻoe nima ke mohe:
33Parum, inquam, dormies, modicum dormitabis; pauxillum manus conseres ut quiescas:
34Pea pehē, ʻe haʻu ai hoʻo masiva ʻo hangē ha taha ʻoku fononga mai; mo hoʻo paea ʻo hangē ha tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafu.
34et veniet tibi quasi cursor egestas, et mendicitas quasi vir armatus.]
