Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1ʻIkai ʻoku kalanga ʻae poto? Pea ʻai mai ʻe he faʻa ʻilo hono leʻo?
1[Numquid non sapientia clamitat, et prudentia dat vocem suam?
2ʻOku tuʻu ia ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi potu ʻi he ngaahi veʻe hala.
2In summis excelsisque verticibus supra viam, in mediis semitis stans,
3ʻOku ne kalanga ʻi he ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi matanikolo, ʻi he ava ʻoe ngaahi matapā.
3juxta portas civitatis, in ipsis foribus loquitur, dicens:
4“ʻAe kau tangata, ʻoku ou ui kiate kimoutolu! Pea ʻoku hiki hake hoku leʻo ki he fānau ʻae tangata,
4O viri, ad vos clamito, et vox mea ad filios hominum.
5ʻAe kau sesele, mou ʻilo ʻae poto: pea ke maʻu ʻekimoutolu, ko e kau vale, ʻae loto faʻa ʻilo.
5Intelligite, parvuli, astutiam, et insipientes, animadvertite.
6Fanongo; he te u lea ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku lelei; pea ʻe mafaʻa hoku loungutu ʻi he ngaahi meʻa totonu.
6Audite, quoniam de rebus magnis locutura sum, et aperientur labia mea ut recta prædicent.
7Pea ʻe lea ʻaki ʻae moʻoni ʻe hoku ngutu; pea ko e meʻa fakalielia ki hoku loungutu ʻae kovi.
7Veritatem meditabitur guttur meum, et labia mea detestabuntur impium.
8ʻOku ʻi he māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa hoku ngutu; ʻoku ʻikai ha pikopiko pe ha kākā ʻi ai.
8Justi sunt omnes sermones mei: non est in eis pravum quid, neque perversum;
9ʻOku ʻilongofua kotoa pē kiate ia ʻoku poto, pea totonu kiate kinautolu ʻoku maʻu ʻae ʻilo.
9recti sunt intelligentibus, et æqui invenientibus scientiam.
10Maʻuā ʻeku akonaki, kae siʻaki ʻae siliva; pea ke lelei hake ʻae maʻu ʻoe ʻilo ʻi he koula lelei.
10Accipite disciplinam meam, et non pecuniam; doctrinam magis quam aurum eligite:
11“He ʻoku lelei hake ʻae poto ʻi he ngaahi maka koloa; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa tatau mo ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ke faʻa holi ki ai.
11melior est enim sapientia cunctis pretiosissimis, et omne desiderabile ei non potest comparari.]
12Ko au poto ʻoku ma nonofo mo faʻa filioʻi, pea u maʻu ʻae ʻilo ʻi he fakatupu meʻa foʻou.
12[Ego sapientia, habito in consilio, et eruditis intersum cogitationibus.
13Ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e fehiʻa ia ki he kovi: ko e fielahi, mo e fakapuhopuhā, mo e angakovi mo e ngutu kovi, ʻoku ou fehiʻa ki ai.
13Timor Domini odit malum: arrogantiam, et superbiam, et viam pravam, et os bilingue, detestor.
14ʻOku ʻaʻaku ʻae akonaki, mo e poto moʻoni: ko au ko e faʻa ʻilo, ʻoku ʻiate au ʻae mālohi.
14Meum est consilium et æquitas; mea est prudentia, mea est fortitudo.
15Ko e meʻa ʻiate au ʻoku pule ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi, pea fai fakamaau ʻe he houʻeiki.
15Per me reges regnant, et legum conditores justa decernunt;
16ʻOku pule ʻae houʻeiki ʻiate au, mo e kakai ʻeiki, mo e kau fakamaau kotoa pē ʻo māmani.
16per me principes imperant, et potentes decernunt justitiam.
17ʻOku ou ʻofa kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au; pea ʻe maʻu au ʻekinautolu ʻoku kumi tōtōaki kiate au.
17Ego diligentes me diligo, et qui mane vigilant ad me, invenient me.
18ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae koloa mo e ongoongolelei; ʻio, ʻae koloa taʻepopo mo e māʻoniʻoni.
18Mecum sunt divitiæ et gloria, opes superbæ et justitia.
19ʻOku lelei hake ʻi he koula ʻa hoku fua, ʻio, ʻi he koula lelei; mo ʻeku koloa ʻi he siliva lelei.
19Melior est enim fructus meus auro et lapide pretioso, et genimina me argento electo.
20ʻOku ou takimuʻa ʻi he hala ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻi he loto hala ʻoe fakamaau:
20In viis justitiæ ambulo, in medio semitarum judicii:
21Koeʻuhi ke u pule ke maʻu ʻae koloa moʻoni ʻekinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate au; pea te u fakafonu honau tukunga koloa.
21ut ditem diligentes me, et thesauros eorum repleam.]
22“Naʻe maʻu au ʻe Sihova ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo hono hala, ʻi muʻa ange ʻi heʻene ngaahi ngāue ʻi muʻa.
22[Dominus possedit me in initio viarum suarum antequam quidquam faceret a principio.
23Naʻe fokotuʻu au talu mei muʻa, mei he kamataʻanga ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻa māmani.
23Ab æterno ordinata sum, et ex antiquis antequam terra fieret.
24Naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he teʻeki ke ai ha loloto; ʻi he teʻeki ai ha matavai ʻoku fonu ʻi he vai.
24Nondum erant abyssi, et ego jam concepta eram: necdum fontes aquarum eruperant,
25ʻI he teʻeki ke tuʻumaʻu ʻae ngaahi moʻunga; naʻe fanauʻi au ʻi he teʻeki ai ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga:
25necdum montes gravi mole constiterant: ante colles ego parturiebar.
26ʻI he teʻeki ai te ne ngaohi ʻa māmani, pe ko e potu maʻalaʻala, pe ko e potu lahi ʻoe efu ʻo māmani.
26Adhuc terram non fecerat, et flumina, et cardines orbis terræ.
27ʻI heʻene teuteu ʻae ngaahi langi, naʻaku ʻi ai au: pea ʻi heʻene tuku ʻae ngataʻanga ʻoe funga loloto:
27Quando præparabat cælos, aderam; quando certa lege et gyro vallabat abyssos;
28ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻao ʻi ʻolunga: ʻi heʻene fakamālohi ʻae ngaahi matavai ʻoe loloto:
28quando æthera firmabat sursum, et librabat fontes aquarum;
29ʻI heʻene tuku ki he tahi ʻene fono, ke ʻoua naʻa laka mai ia ʻi he meʻa kuo ne fekau: ʻi heʻene tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani.
29quando circumdabat mari terminum suum, et legem ponebat aquis, ne transirent fines suos; quando appendebat fundamenta terræ:
30Naʻaku ʻi ai mo ia, ʻo hangē ha taha kuo tupu hake mo ia: ko hono fiefiaʻanga au ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, pe naʻaku fiefia maʻuaipē i hono ʻao;
30cum eo eram, cuncta componens. Et delectabar per singulos dies, ludens coram eo omni tempore,
31Naʻaku fiefia ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻo māmani ʻoku kakai, pea naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻae tangata ʻa ʻeku fiefiaʻanga.
31ludens in orbe terrarum; et deliciæ meæ esse cum filiis hominum.
32“Ko ia, ʻE fānau, mou fanongo mai kiate au: he ʻoku monūʻia ia ʻoku tokanga ki hoku ngaahi hala.
32Nunc ergo, filii, audite me: beati qui custodiunt vias meas.
33Mou fanongo ki he akonaki, pea mou poto, pea ʻoua naʻa mou taʻetokanga ki ai.
33Audite disciplinam, et estote sapientes, et nolite abjicere eam.
34ʻOku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku fanongo kiate au, ʻo ne tatali ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻi hoku ngaahi matapā, ʻo ne nofo ʻi hoku veʻe matapā.
34Beatus homo qui audit me, et qui vigilat ad fores meas quotidie, et observat ad postes ostii mei.
35He ko ia ʻoku ne maʻu au ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae moʻui, pea ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae ongoongolelei meia Sihova.”
35Qui me invenerit, inveniet vitam, et hauriet salutem a Domino.
36Ka ko ia ʻoku fai angahala kiate au, ʻoku ne fai kovi ki hono laumālie ʻoʻona: ʻoku ʻofa ki he mate ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
36Qui autem in me peccaverit, lædet animam suam; omnes qui me oderunt diligunt mortem.]
