Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Kuo langa ʻe he poto ʻa hono fale, pea kuo ne tā mai ʻa hono pou ʻe fitu.
1[Sapientia ædificavit sibi domum: excidit columnas septem.
2Kuo ne tāmateʻi ʻene fanga manu; kuo ne huʻi ʻene uaine; kuo ne teuteu foki hono keinangaʻanga.
2Immolavit victimas suas, miscuit vinum, et proposuit mensam suam.
3Kuo ne fekau atu ʻene kau kaunanga; ʻoku kalanga ia mei he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe kolo,
3Misit ancillas suas ut vocarent ad arcem et ad mœnia civitatis.
4“Ko hai ia ʻoku taʻepoto ke afe mai ia ki heni:” pea ʻoku lea ia, ʻo pehē, kiate ia ʻoku taʻeʻilo,
4Si quis est parvulus, veniat ad me. Et insipientibus locuta est:
5“Haʻu, ʻo kai ʻi heʻeku mā, ʻo inu ʻi he uaine kuo u huʻi ʻeau.
5Venite, comedite panem meum, et bibite vinum quod miscui vobis.
6Liaki ʻae kau vale, ka ke moʻui; pea ke ʻalu ʻi he hala ʻoe faʻa ʻilo.”
6Relinquite infantiam, et vivite, et ambulate per vias prudentiæ.]
7Ko ia ʻoku valoki ki he tangata manuki ʻoku fakamā ai ia: pea ʻoku pani ʻuli ia ʻaia ʻoku ne valokiʻi ʻae tangata angakovi.
7[Qui erudit derisorem, ipse injuriam sibi facit, et qui arguit impium, sibi maculam generat.
8ʻOua naʻa valoki ki he tangata manuki, telia naʻa ne fehiʻa kiate koe: takitalaʻi ʻae tangata poto, pea ʻe ʻofa ai ia kiate koe.
8Noli arguere derisorem, ne oderit te: argue sapientem, et diliget te.
9ʻAko ki he tangata poto, pea ʻe ʻāsili ai ʻene poto: akonakiʻi ʻae angatonu, pea ʻe tupulekina ai ʻa ʻene ʻilo.
9Da sapienti occasionem, et addetur ei sapientia; doce justum, et festinabit accipere.
10Ko e manavahē kia Sihova ko e kamataʻanga ia ʻoe poto: pea ko e ʻilo ʻoe māʻoniʻoni ko e fakakaukau poto ia.
10Principium sapientiæ timor Domini, et scientia sanctorum prudentia.
11He ko e meʻa ʻiate au ʻe fakalahi ho ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe fakalahi mo e taʻu ʻo hoʻo moʻui.
11Per me enim multiplicabuntur dies tui, et addentur tibi anni vitæ.
12Kapau ko e poto koe, ʻoku ke poto pe maʻau: ka ke ka taukae, ko koe pe te ke ongoʻi ia.
12Si sapiens fueris, tibimetipsi eris; si autem illusor, solus portabis malum.]
13ʻOku faʻa longoaʻa ʻae fefine vale: ʻoku taʻepoto ia, ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha meʻa.
13[Mulier stulta et clamosa, plenaque illecebris, et nihil omnino sciens,
14He ʻoku nofo ia ʻi he matapā ʻo hono fale, ʻi he hekaʻanga ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻoe kolo,
14sedit in foribus domus suæ, super sellam in excelso urbis loco,
15Ke ui ki he kakai fononga, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻalu totonu atu ʻi honau hala:
15ut vocaret transeuntes per viam, et pergentes itinere suo:
16“Ko hai ia ʻoku taʻepoto, ke afe mai ia ki heni:” pea ʻoku ne lea, ʻo pehē kiate ia, ʻoku taʻeʻilo,
16Qui est parvulus declinet ad me. Et vecordi locuta est:
17“ko e vai ʻoku kaihaʻasi ʻoku melie ia, pea ʻoku ifoifo lelei ʻae mā ʻoku kai fakafufū.”
17Aquæ furtivæ dulciores sunt, et panis absconditus suavior.
18Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ne ʻilo ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mate; pea ʻoku ʻi he loloto ʻo heli ʻae kakai kuo ne fakaafe.
18Et ignoravit quod ibi sint gigantes, et in profundis inferni convivæ ejus.]
