Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1ʻE hoku foha, ke ke maʻu ʻeku ngaahi lea, pea ke tānaki kiate koe ʻa ʻeku ngaahi fekau.
1[Fili mi, custodi sermones meos, et præcepta mea reconde tibi. Fili,
2Fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau pea moʻui ai! Pea tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku fono ʻo hangē ko ho kanoʻi mata.
2serva mandata mea, et vives; et legem meam quasi pupillam oculi tui:
3Nonoʻo ia ki ho louhiʻi nima, tohi ia ki he kakano ʻo ho loto.
3liga eam in digitis tuis, scribe illam in tabulis cordis tui.
4Ke ke lea ʻo pehē ki he poto, “Ko hoku tokoua koe;” pea ke ui ʻae ʻilo ko ho kāinga fefine:
4Dic sapientiæ: Soror mea es, et prudentiam voca amicam tuam:
5Koeʻuhi ke na fakamoʻui koe mei he fefine muli, mei he muli ʻoku fakaoloolo ʻaki ʻene ngaahi lea.
5ut custodiant te a muliere extranea, et ab aliena quæ verba sua dulcia facit.
6He naʻaku sio atu mei he matapā ʻa hoku fale mei he matapā sioʻata.
6De fenestra enim domus meæ per cancellos prospexi,
7Pea naʻaku vakai ki he kakai vale, pea ne u ʻiloʻi ʻi he kau talavou ʻae tangata talavou ʻoku masiva ʻi he poto,
7et video parvulos; considero vecordem juvenem,
8Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi he hala ʻo ofi ki hono ʻapi; ʻo ne ʻalu ʻi he hala ki hono fale,
8qui transit per plateam juxta angulum et prope viam domus illius graditur:
9ʻI he efiafi poʻuli, ʻi he pō ʻuliʻuli mo fakapoʻuli:
9in obscuro, advesperascente die, in noctis tenebris et caligine.
10Pea vakai, naʻe fakafetaulaki mai kiate ia ʻae fefine ʻoku kofu ʻi he kofu ʻoe faʻa feʻauaki, ʻo loto kākā.
10Et ecce occurrit illi mulier ornatu meretricio, præparata ad capiendas animas: garrula et vaga,
11(ʻOku faʻa longoaʻa ia mo angamālohi, ʻoku ʻikai nofo hono vaʻe ʻi hono fale:
11quietis impatiens, nec valens in domo consistere pedibus suis;
12Ko eni ʻoku ʻituʻa, ko ʻena ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi hala, ʻoku ne nofo toitoi ʻi he tuliki kotoa pē.)
12nunc foris, nunc in plateis, nunc juxta angulos insidians.
13Pea naʻa ne puke ia, pea ʻuma ki ai, pea ʻi he mata fiematamuʻa naʻa ne pehē kiate ia,
13Apprehensumque deosculatur juvenem, et procaci vultu blanditur, dicens:
14“ʻOku ou maʻu ʻae ngaahi foaki fakalelei; pea kuo u fakamoʻoni ki heʻeku ngaahi fuakava ʻi he ʻaho ni.
14Victimas pro salute vovi; hodie reddidi vota mea:
15Ko ia kuo u haʻu ai ke ta feʻilongaki mo koe, ke kumi ʻi he feinga ki ho mata, pea ko eni kuo u maʻu koe.
15idcirco egressa sum in occursum tuum, desiderans te videre, et reperi.
16Kuo u teuteu hoku mohenga ʻaki ʻae ngaahi puipui matamatalelei, mo e tongi fakasanisani, mo e tupenu lelei mei ʻIsipite.
16Intexui funibus lectulum meum; stravi tapetibus pictis ex Ægypto:
17Kuo u fakanamu kakala ʻa hoku mohenga ʻaki ʻae mula, mo e ʻalosi, pea mo e sinamoni.
17aspersi cubile meum myrrha, et aloë, et cinnamomo.
18Haʻu, ke ta fakafonu ʻakitaua ʻi he ʻofa ʻo aʻu ki he ʻapongipongi: ke ta fakafiemālie ʻakitaua ʻi heʻeta fai ʻofa.
18Veni, inebriemur uberibus, et fruamur cupitis amplexibus donec illucescat dies.
19He ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ʻapi ʻae tangataʻeiki, kuo ʻalu ia ʻo fononga mamaʻo:”
19Non est enim vir in domo sua: abiit via longissima:
20Kuo ne ʻave mo ia ʻae kato paʻanga, pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ia kaeʻoua ke hokosia hono ʻaho kuo ne lea ki ai.
20sacculum pecuniæ secum tulit; in die plenæ lunæ reversurus est in domum suam.
21Naʻa ne fakavaivaiʻi ia ʻaki ʻa ʻene ngaahi lea matamatalelei, ʻo ne maʻu ia ʻi he fakaoloolo ʻa hono ngutu.
21Irretivit eum multis sermonibus, et blanditiis labiorum protraxit illum.
22Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu muimui leva ʻiate ia, ʻo hangē ko e pulu ke tāmateʻi, pea hangē ko e vale ki he tautea ʻoe ʻakau fakamaau vaʻe;
22Statim eam sequitur quasi bos ductus ad victimam, et quasi agnus lasciviens, et ignorans quod ad vincula stultus trahatur:
23Kaeʻoua ke ʻasi ʻae ngahau ki hono ʻate; ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e manu ʻoku ʻoho vave ki he tauhele, ʻo ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ko e meʻa ke ʻosi ai ʻene moʻui.
23donec transfigat sagitta jecur ejus, velut si avis festinet ad laqueum, et nescit quod de periculo animæ illius agitur.
24ʻE fānau, ke mou fanongo eni kiate au, pea mou tokanga ki he ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu.
24Nunc ergo, fili mi, audi me, et attende verbis oris mei.
25ʻOua naʻa tuku ke ʻalu atu ho loto ki hono hala, ʻoua naʻa mou hē ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
25Ne abstrahatur in viis illius mens tua, neque decipiaris semitis ejus;
26He kuo lī hifo ʻe ia ʻae toko lahi kuo lavea; ʻio, kuo tāmateʻi ʻe ia ʻae kau tangata mālohi toko lahi.
26multos enim vulneratos dejecit, et fortissimi quique interfecti sunt ab ea.
27Ko hono fale ko e hala ia ki heli, ʻoku ʻalu hifo ia ki he nofoʻanga ʻoe mate.
27Viæ inferi domus ejus, penetrantes in interiora mortis.]
