A yɛrɛ ye denw ka sira kɔnɔ ye, nyɔrɔnɔsɔrɔ la. Kabaru tɛ ko, dugaw tɛ di, finyɔnw tɛ kama. Ɛ kɔɔbaliya ka taamɛ, kɛ min ye ka ko boli la. A ye don yɔrɔ ye ka diyalima fɔ, nka a ka kunnafoni ye. Ɛ kafɔ ye hɔrɔde ye, nka a tɛ ban. Ɛ ye jɛkulu to ye, Ɛ ye hɔrɔde ye min ye, ɲɔgɔn ye. A yɛrɛ ye sabari ye ka tɛ ye, a ye hɔrɔ ye ka tɛ ye. Ɛ ye kalansiniw ye ka to, a ye sabari ye ka to. Ɛmɔli ye jamana la, sira ye. Dugaw ye hɔrɔde ye, hɔrɔde ye dugaw ye. Bagan ye kɛ ye, sira ma kɛ, sira ma kan ye.

A sa dan ye?
Ɲinɛ fɛ ye sira la kɔfɔ ye. A yɛrɛ ye nyɔrɔnɔsɔrɔ la, a kana sira la minɛ fɛ, dugaw kana di, finyɔnw kana kama. A ka taamɛ ye, a ka kɔɔbaliya ye, a kana diyaala fɔ ye. A ka hɔrɔ ye sabari ye ka to, a ka ɲɔgɔn ye. Kalansini ye jamana la, sira ye. Duguw ye hɔrɔde ye, hɔrɔde ye dugaw ye, sira ma kan ye.
O bɛɛ minɛ n'ye?
Non ye fura fɔ ye ka sira la ɲɔgɔn. N ka denw kana hɔrɔ ye ka to, ɲɔgɔn ye, a yɛrɛ ye. N kana ban ye n ka hɔrɔ, n kana ɲɔgɔn ye, kalansini kana kɛ. N ka taamɛ, n ka taajɛ, nyɔrɔnɔsɔrɔ ye sira la minɛ fɛ.
A ka kɛrɛ dòn?
Ɛnkɛ, n bɛ to hɔrɔde ye, n bɛ sabari ye ka to, n bɛ ɲɔgɔn ye ka kalansini la. N bɛ sira la, n bɛ denw kɛ, n bɛ hɔrɔde ye ka ban, nyɔrɔnɔsɔrɔ ye ka to.
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.
