Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1ʻOku hola ʻae kakai fai kovi ʻi he ʻikai tuli ki ai ha taha: ka ʻoku toʻa ʻae māʻoniʻoni ʻo hangē ko e laione.
1[Fugit impius nemine persequente; justus autem, quasi leo confidens, absque terrore erit.
2Ko e meʻa ʻi he fai hala ʻae fonua ko ia, ʻoku tupu ʻo tokolahi ai hono houʻeiki: ka koeʻuhi ko e tangata poto mo ʻiloʻilo ʻe fakatolonga ai hono lelei.
2Propter peccata terræ multi principes ejus; et propter hominis sapientiam, et horum scientiam quæ dicuntur, vita ducis longior erit.
3Ko e tangata masiva ʻoku fakamālohi ki he masiva, ʻoku tatau pe ia mo e ʻuha lolo ʻoku ʻauha ai ʻae meʻakai.
3Vir pauper calumnians pauperes similis est imbri vehementi in quo paratur fames.]
4ʻOku fakamālō ki he angahala ʻekinautolu ʻoku liʻaki ʻae fono: ka ʻoku fakakikihi mo kinautolu ʻakinautolu ʻoku tauhi ki he fono.
4[Qui derelinquunt legem laudant impium; qui custodiunt, succenduntur contra eum.
5ʻOku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻae fakamaau ʻe he kakai angakovi: ka ʻoku ʻilo ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻekinautolu ʻoku kumi kia Sihova.
5Viri mali non cogitant judicium; qui autem inquirunt Dominum animadvertunt omnia.
6ʻOku lelei hake ʻaia ʻoku masiva ka ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi heʻene angatonu, ʻiate ia ʻoku koloaʻia ka ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala.
6Melior est pauper ambulans in simplicitate sua quam dives in pravis itineribus.
7Ko ia ʻoku fai ki he fono ko e foha poto ia: ka ko ia ʻoku kaumeʻa mo e kakai fakamaveuveu ʻoku fakamaaʻi ʻe ia ʻa ʻene tamai.
7Qui custodit legem filius sapiens est; qui autem comessatores pascit confundit patrem suum.
8Ko ia ʻoku fakalahi ʻene koloa ʻi he foaki paʻanga ke toe totongi mai, mo e fai taʻetotonu, ʻe tānaki ia ʻe ia ki ha taha ʻe manavaʻofa ki he masiva.
8Qui coacervat divitias usuris et fœnore, liberali in pauperes congregat eas.
9Ko ia ʻoku fakatafoki hono telinga ke ʻoua naʻa ne fanongo ki he fono, ʻe hoko ʻene lotu ʻaʻana ko e meʻa fakalielia.
9Qui declinat aures suas ne audiat legem, oratio ejus erit execrabilis.
10Ko ia ʻe fakahēʻi ʻae māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻalu ʻi ha hala kovi, ʻe tō pe foki ia ki heʻene luo ʻaʻana: ka ʻe maʻu ʻe he fai totonu ʻae ngaahi meʻa lelei.
10Qui decipit justos in via mala, in interitu suo corruet, et simplices possidebunt bona ejus.
11ʻOku poto ʻae tangata koloaʻia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona; ka ʻoku ʻiloʻi ia ʻe he tangata masiva ʻoku faʻa fakakaukau.
11Sapiens sibi videtur vir dives; pauper autem prudens scrutabitur eum.
12ʻOka fiefia ʻae kakai māʻoniʻoni, ʻoku ai ʻae ongoongolelei lahi: ka ʻoka pule ʻae angahala, kuo fakafufū ʻae tangata.
12In exsultatione justorum multa gloria est; regnantibus impiis, ruinæ hominum.
13ʻE ʻikai monūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ʻene ngaahi angahala: ka ko ia ʻoku vete ia mo liʻaki ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻaloʻofa.
13Qui abscondit scelera sua non dirigetur; qui autem confessus fuerit et reliquerit ea, misericordiam consequetur.
14ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku manavahē maʻuaipē: ka ʻe tō ki he kovi ʻaia ʻoku fakafefeka hono loto.
14Beatus homo qui semper est pavidus; qui vero mentis est duræ corruet in malum.
15ʻO hangē ko e laione ngungulu, mo e pea ʻoku ʻoho fano; ʻoku pehē ʻae pule ʻoku angakovi ki heʻene kakai masiva.
15Leo rugiens et ursus esuriens, princeps impius super populum pauperem.
16Ko e tuʻi foki ʻoku masiva ʻi he fakakaukau, ʻoku lahi ʻene fakamālohi: ka ko ia ʻoku fehiʻa ki he manumanu, ʻoku fakatolonga ʻe ia hono ngaahi ʻaho.
16Dux indigens prudentia multos opprimet per calumniam; qui autem odit avaritiam, longi fient dies ejus.
17Ko e tangata ko ia ʻoku fai fakamālohi ki he toto ʻo ha tokotaha ʻe mole ia ki he luo; ʻoua naʻa taʻofi ia ʻe ha tokotaha.
17Hominem qui calumniatur animæ sanguinem, si usque ad lacum fugerit, nemo sustinet.
18Ko ia ʻoku ʻeveʻeva ʻi he angatonu ʻe fakamoʻui ia: ka ʻe hinga leva ia ʻaia ʻoku pikopiko hono ngaahi hala.
18Qui ambulat simpliciter salvus erit; qui perversis graditur viis concidet semel.
19Ko ia ʻoku faʻa ngāue ki heʻene ngoue ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae meʻakai lahi: ka ʻe lahi moʻoni ʻae masiva kiate ia ʻoku muimui ki he kakai taʻepoto.
19Qui operatur terram suam satiabitur panibus; qui autem sectatur otium replebitur egestate.]
20ʻE lahi ʻaupito ʻae tāpuaki ki he tangata ʻoku angatonu: ka ko ia ʻoku fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke ne koloaʻia ʻe ʻikai tonuhia ia.
20[Vir fidelis multum laudabitur; qui autem festinat ditari non erit innocens.
21ʻOku ʻikai lelei ke filifilimānako: he ko e tangata ʻoku pehē, ʻe fai hala ia ke ne maʻu ai ha konga mā.
21Qui cognoscit in judicio faciem non bene facit; iste et pro buccella panis deserit veritatem.
22ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻoku fai fakatoʻotoʻo ke ne koloaʻia ʻae mata ʻoku kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi ʻe hoko mai ʻae masiva kiate ia.
22Vir qui festinat ditari, et aliis invidet, ignorat quod egestas superveniet ei.
23Ko ia ʻoku lea valoki ki ha tangata ʻe maʻu ʻe ia ʻae ʻofa lahi hake, ʻamui ʻiate ia ʻoku lea lapu ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo.
23Qui corripit hominem gratiam postea inveniet apud eum, magis quam ille qui per linguæ blandimenta decipit.
24Ko ia ʻoku kaihaʻa mei heʻene tamai pe ko ʻene faʻē, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ko e fai hala ia;” ʻoku kaumeʻa ia mo e tangata fakaʻauha.
24Qui subtrahit aliquid a patre suo et a matre, et dicit hoc non esse peccatum, particeps homicidæ est.
25Ko ia ʻoku loto fielahi ʻoku fakatupu ʻe ia ʻae fekeʻikeʻi: ka ʻe fakamonūʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku falala kia Sihova.
25Qui se jactat et dilatat, jurgia concitat; qui vero sperat in Domino sanabitur.
26Ko ia ʻoku falala ki hono loto ʻoʻona ko e vale ia: ka ko ia ʻoku ʻalu fakapotopoto, ʻe fakahaofi ia.
26Qui confidit in corde suo stultus est; qui autem graditur sapienter, ipse salvabitur.
27Ko ia ʻoku faʻa foaki ki he masiva ʻe ʻikai masiva ia: ka ko ia ʻoku fufū hono mata ʻe lahi ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻe hoko ki ai.
27Qui dat pauperi non indigebit; qui despicit deprecantem sustinebit penuriam.
28ʻOka hakeakiʻi ʻae angahala, ʻoku toitoi ʻae kakai: ka ʻoka ʻauha ʻakinautolu, ʻoku tupu ʻo tokolahi ʻae māʻoniʻoni.
28Cum surrexerint impii, abscondentur homines; cum illi perierint, multiplicabuntur justi.]
