中文翻譯:
我謹此宣誓,我完全放棄我對以前所屬任何外國親王、君主、國家或主權之公民資格及忠誠;我將支持及捍衛美利堅合眾國憲法和法律、對抗國內和國外所有的敵人;我將真誠地效忠美國;當法律要求時,我願為保衛美國拿起武器;當法律要求時,我會為美國做非戰鬥性之軍事服務;當法律要求時,我會在政府官員指揮下執行具有國家重要意義的工作。我在此心甘情願地宣誓,絕無任何心智障礙、藉口或保留;請上帝保佑我。
I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.[2]
