He who has in himself abundantly the attributes (of the Tao) is like an infant. Poisonous insects will not sting him; fierce beasts will not seize him; birds of prey will not strike him. (The infant's) bones are weak and its sinews soft, but yet its grasp is firm. When things have become strong, they (then) become old, which may be said to be contrary to the Tao. Whatever is contrary to the Tao soon ends.

Damma hedhi aduna, haqqi duqqa ka qarama. Kulu gedi waaxa ma itti khuulu, qayya waraabota ma itti hammu, kulu xawa haraabota ma itti khaasi. Lakka waaxa, neeqi waaxa, haneeka ma gede. Ma hagee bukeeri qabee, ma lagee bukeeri qabee, bukeeri waa itti qaami—hadhaaya kulu bude. Yaaqah sirri maana, kulu sirri maana—maana qaytu. Haqquuqita, daqiiqa itti ittigeda, hadhaaya ma daqiiqe. Hedhi xuushi haqiiqe, haqiiqe xuushi maane. Hede haqiiqe hedhi sirri, sirri xuushi maane. Afuuri lagee kulu gede, hadhaaya lagee xuushi. Hawaaki qaytu, hawaaki haqiiqe. Kulu hedhi qayti hedhi daga, haqqi daga ma ttee, ma ttee mamma itti daawi.
