Latin
For the Lord hath given the father glory as touching the children,
And hath established the judgement of the mother as touching the sons.
He that honoureth his father maketh atonement for sins,
And as one that layeth up treasure is he that honoureth his mother.
He that honoureth his father shall have joy of his children,
And what time he prayeth he shall be heard.
He that giveth glory to his father shall have length of days,
And he that giveth rest to his mother shall receive reward from God.
