Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Ke fakavaivai ʻae tangata kotoa pē ki ke pule ʻoku māʻolunga. He ʻoku ʻikai ha pule kae mei he ʻOtua: pea ko e kau pule ʻoku ai, ʻoku tuʻutuʻuni ia ʻe he ʻOtua.
1Omnis anima potestatibus sublimioribus subdita sit: non est enim potestas nisi a Deo: quæ autem sunt, a Deo ordinatæ sunt.
2Ko ia ʻoku angatuʻu ki he pule, ʻoku angatuʻu ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ʻOtua: pea ko kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu, te nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae tautea.
2Itaque qui resistit potestati, Dei ordinationi resistit. Qui autem resistunt, ipsi sibi damnationem acquirunt:
3He ko e kau pule ʻoku ʻikai ko e fakailifia ki he ngaahi ngāue lelei, ka ki he kovi. Pea ko ho loto ke ʻoua naʻa manavahē koe ki he pule? Fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei, pea te ke maʻu mei ai ʻae fakamālō:
3nam principes non sunt timori boni operis, sed mali. Vis autem non timere potestatem? Bonum fac: et habebis laudem ex illa:
4He ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ia kiate koe ki he lelei. Pea kapau ʻoku ke fai ʻaia ʻoku kovi, ke ke manavahē; he ʻoku ʻikai ke toʻo noa pē ʻe ia ʻae heletā: he ko e tamaioʻeiki ia ʻae ʻOtua, ko e fai totongi ia ke tautea kiate ia ʻoku fai kovi.
4Dei enim minister est tibi in bonum. Si autem malum feceris, time: non enim sine causa gladium portat. Dei enim minister est: vindex in iram ei qui malum agit.
5Ko ia ʻoku totonu ke mou fakavaivai, ʻo ʻikai pe naʻa ai ha tautea, ka koeʻuhi ko hono totonu.
5Ideo necessitate subditi estote non solum propter iram, sed etiam propter conscientiam.
6Ko e meʻa ko ia ke mou ʻatu ai ʻae tukuhau foki: he ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae ʻOtua ʻakinautolu, ʻoku tokanga ʻo fai maʻu ki he meʻa ni pē.
6Ideo enim et tributa præstatis: ministri enim Dei sunt, in hoc ipsum servientes.
7Ko ia ke ʻatu ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku totonu: ʻae tukuhau kiate ia ʻoku totonu ki ai ʻae tukuhau; ko e totongi kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana totonu ʻae totongi; ko e manavahē kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana totonu ʻae manavahē; mo e fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻoku ʻaʻana totonu ʻae fakaʻapaʻapa.
7Reddite ergo omnibus debita: cui tribulatum, tributum: cui vectigal, vectigal: cui timorem, timorem: cui honorem, honorem.
8ʻOua naʻa taʻetotongi ha meʻa ki ha taha, ka mou feʻofaʻaki pē kiate kimoutolu: he ko ia ʻoku ʻofa ki ha tokotaha, kuo fakamoʻoni ia ki he fono.
8Nemini quidquam debeatis, nisi ut invicem diligatis: qui enim diligit proximum, legem implevit.
9Ko ia foki, “ʻOua naʻa ke tono fefine, ʻoua naʻa ke fakapō, ʻoua naʻa ke kaihaʻa, ʻoua naʻa ke fakamoʻoni loi, ʻoua naʻa ke manumanu;” pea ka ai mo ha fekau kehe, ʻoku lau fakataha ia ʻi he fekau ni, ʻa eni, “Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pē ko koe.”
9Nam: Non adultabis: non occides: non furaberis: non falsum testimonium dices: non concupisces: et si quod est aliud mandatum, in hoc verbo instauratur: diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.
10ʻOku ʻikai fai ʻe he ʻofa ha kovi ki hono kaungāʻapi: ko ia ko e ʻofa ko hono fakamoʻoni ia ʻoe fono.
10Dilectio proximi malum non operatur. Plenitudo ergo legis est dilectio.
11Pea ʻāsili pe ʻi hoʻomou ʻilo ʻae kuonga, kuo hokosia ʻaupito ʻae feituʻulaʻā ke ʻā ai mei he mohe: he ʻoku ofi lahi eni hotau fakamoʻui, ʻi heʻetau tomuʻa tui.
11Et hoc scientes tempus: quia hora est jam nos de somno surgere. Nunc enim propior est nostra salus, quam cum credidimus.
12Kuo tei ʻosi ʻae pō, ʻoku ofi ʻae ʻaho: ko ia ke tau liʻaki ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻoe poʻuli, pea tau ʻai ʻae mahafu ʻoe maama.
12Nox præcessit, dies autem appropinquavit. Abjiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum, et induamur arma lucis.
13Ke tau felakaʻi ʻo matamatalelei, ʻo taau mo e ʻaho; ʻikai ʻi he kātoanga kai mo e faʻa konā, pe ʻi he feʻauaki mo e angafakalielia, pea ʻikai ʻi he fekeʻikeʻi mo e meheka.
13Sicut in die honeste ambulemus: non in comessationibus, et ebrietatibus, non in cubilibus, et impudicitiis, non in contentione, et æmulatione:
14Ka ke ʻai ʻekimoutolu ʻae ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, pea ʻoua naʻa tokonaki maʻae ngaahi holi ʻoe kakano.
14sed induimini Dominum Jesum Christum, et carnis curam ne feceritis in desideriis.
