Man at his birth is supple and weak; at his death, firm and strong. (So it is with) all things. Trees and plants, in their early growth, are soft and brittle; at their death, dry and withered. Thus it is that firmness and strength are the concomitants of death; softness and weakness, the concomitants of life.

Abantu bona okuba munsi y'amaani, bwokuba mwikarire bamwe babwe balekera okutinda nga batinda. Buli kimwe n'ebihulirozo n'ebiraro by'ensi byombekereire okutinda bulungi bwokuba bimwe bihwerere nga bikuru, era bisuuke okufirwa. Aha kyokwo, abo abatinda ngabaire babiriirwe babeerera baasibwa nga kyamunsi y'okufirwa. Abawo abo abalema okutinda babeerera baba munsi y'okuhika. Aha kwo, ng'omukama okutinda n'amaani buli bwokuba ogwire, ajuna okusibwa; n'ekihulirozo ekikuru ekindi kye kitinda, kisuuke okwebuzungulu. Aha kwo, ebikuru bigumira munsi y'amaani; n'ebitinda bilimuma waggulu.
