ʻO ka Hopo kiʻekiʻe ʻaʻole i maopopo iā ia iho he Hopo, no laila, he Hopo ʻiʻo nō. ʻO ka Hopo haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole ia e luku i ka Hopo, no laila, ʻaʻole he Hopo. ʻO ka Hopo kiʻekiʻe, hana ʻole ia me ka ʻaʻole intention, ʻaʻole intention nō. ʻO ka Hopo haʻahaʻa, hana ia me ka intention, me ka intention nō. ʻO ka Aloha kiʻekiʻe, hana ia me ka ʻaʻole intention, ʻaʻole intention nō. ʻO ka hoʻopono kiʻekiʻe, hana ia me ka intention, me ka intention nō. ʻO ka ʻōlelo kaulana kiʻekiʻe, hana ia me ka ʻaʻole mea e pane aku, a laila, e kiʻi nō ia i kona mau lima a e kūmau aku. No laila, i ka lilo o ke Alanui, a laila ka Hopo; i ka lilo o ka Hopo, a laila ka Aloha; i ka lilo o ka Aloha, a laila ka hoʻopono; i ka lilo o ka hoʻopono, a laila ka ʻōlelo kaulana. ʻO ka ʻōlelo kaulana, ʻo ia kekahi mea o ka mālama ʻole a me ka poʻe hana ʻino. ʻO ka mea ʻike mua, ʻo ia ka pua o ke Alanui, a me ke poʻe ʻ白痴. No laila, ʻo ke kāne maka nui, e noho nō ia i kahi ulu, ʻaʻole i kahi mōhua; e noho nō ia i kahi ʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i kahi pua. No laila, e waiho ia i kēlā, a e lawe ia i kēia.
Nōnōmea Hohonu
He aha kēia paukū e pili ana?
Ke ʻano o ka Hopo kiʻekiʻe ʻaʻole e haʻi aku iā ia iho he Hopo, no laila, he Hopo ʻiʻo nō. Ke ʻano haʻahaʻa, e mālama ana i ka Hopo, no laila, ʻaʻole he Hopo. Ke Alanui, hana ʻole ia me ka ʻaʻole intention; akā, i ka lilo o ke Alanui, a laila ka Hopo, a laila ka Aloha, a laila ka hoʻopono, a laila ka ʻōlelo kaulana. I kēlā lilo ʻana, ua mōhua ka ʻōlelo kaulana, a ua hana ʻia ka poʻe hana ʻino.
Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
He mea paʻakikī koʻu noho ʻia ana me ka Hopo ʻiʻo, ʻaʻole e haʻi aku iā lākou a haʻi aku iā wau. He mea nui ka hana ʻana no ka pono, ʻaʻole no ka ʻole o ka manaʻo ʻino.
(Those who) possessed in highest degree the attributes (of the Tao) did not (seek) to cultivate them, and thus they were possessed of them (in the highest degree). Thus it was that when the Tao was lost, its attributes appeared; when its attributes were lost, benevolence appeared; when benevolence was lost, righteousness appeared; and when righteousness was lost, the proprieties appeared.
