ʻO ka ʻikepia e mālama i ka mea ʻaʻe ʻia, a laila make; ʻo ka ʻikepia e mālama i ka mea ʻaʻole e mālama ʻia, a laila e mau ai. ʻO kēia mau mea ʻelua, ʻo kekahi pōmaikaʻi, ʻo kekahi pōʻino. ʻO ka mea a ka lani i inaina ai, waiho iā wai kahi mea e ʻike ʻia ai? No laila, ʻo ka poʻe akahai, he kaumaha nō iā lākou. ʻO ke ala o ka lani, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopaʻapaʻa, akā ʻo ke alohas i ka lanakila; ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo, akā ʻo ke alohas i ka pane; ʻaʻole ia e kāhea, akā ʻo ia nō ke kiʻi mai; ua maha a ua alohas i ka manaʻo. ʻO ka upena o ka lani, nui a ākea, he kualua ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ia e luku.

He aha kēia paukū e pili ana?
Hōʻike mai kēia paukū i ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o ka ʻikepia e hoʻāla i ke aloha a me ka ʻikepia e mālama i ka maha. ʻO ke ala o ka lani, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopaʻapaʻa, akā lanakila nō ia; ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo, akā pane nō ia; a ʻaʻole ia e kāhea, akā kiʻi mai nō ia. ʻO ka upena o ka lani, ʻo ia kekahi mea nui loa, ʻaʻole e hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia.
Pehea ka pilina iaʻu?
He mea nui ia noʻu e nīnau aku ai: Aia anei au e mālama i ka maha a i ʻole au e hoʻāla i ke aloha? He mea ʻanoʻe kēia. Ua ʻike au i nā manawa i hoʻāla ai ka mana i loko oʻu i ka hana ʻino. Ua hōʻino au i nā mea i loaʻa mai ai, a ua ʻeha nō wau iā ia.
He aha kaʻu e hana ai i kēia lā?
I kēia lā, e noho i lalo a mālama i ka maha. ʻAʻole wau e ʻōlelo iki, akā e hoʻolohe a pane i kēlā me kēia mea me ka haʻahaʻa.
He whose boldness appears in his daring (to do wrong, in defiance of the laws) is put to death; he whose boldness appears in his not daring (to do so) lives on. It is the way of Heaven not to strive, and yet it skilfully overcomes; not to speak, and yet it is skilful in (obtaining) a reply. The meshes of the net of Heaven are large; far apart, but letting nothing escape.

ʻO ka ʻikepia e mālama i ka mea ʻaʻe ʻia, a laila make; ʻo ka ʻikepia e mālama i ka mea ʻaʻole e mālama ʻia, a laila e mau ai. ʻO kēia mau mea ʻelua, ʻo kekahi pōmaikaʻi, ʻo kekahi pōʻino. ʻO ka mea a ka lani i inaina ai, waiho iā wai kahi mea e ʻike ʻia ai? No laila, ʻo ka poʻe akahai, he kaumaha nō iā lākou. ʻO ke ala o ka lani, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopaʻapaʻa, akā ʻo ke alohas i ka lanakila; ʻaʻole ia e ʻōlelo, akā ʻo ke alohas i ka pane; ʻaʻole ia e kāhea, akā ʻo ia nō ke kiʻi mai; ua maha a ua alohas i ka manaʻo. ʻO ka upena o ka lani, nui a ākea, he kualua ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ia e luku.
