Chapter 27

Good Waan Waak Noh Liable Lef Traces

善行无辙迹,善言无瑕谪,善数不用筹策,善闭无关楗而不可开,善结无绳约而不可解。
是以圣人常善救人,故无弃人;常善救物,故无弃物。是谓袭明。
故善人者,不善人之师;不善人者,善人之资。不贵其师,不爱其资,虽智大迷,是谓要妙。
Waya sohda noh show no wheel mark pan di road, ya kno?
Wa good word noh av no flaw pan it suhda.
Wa waan waak wid ya mina noh need no tally stick ya fi calculate.
Wa good closer noh need no bolt pan di door, still no one cyan open it.
Wa good binder noh need no rope, still no one cyan loose it.
So deata one ya, de sage always ready fi help people, so no one nuh get lef soht a people way.
Always ready fi help tings, so no ting nuh get lef soht a tings way.
Dat wa wi call waan waak inna dark.
So de good people dem de teacher weh de bad people mus look up to.
De bad people dem de lesson weh de good people mus learn from.
If no one value dem teacher, an if no one love dem lesson, even if a noughi ya dem think dem know, dem still inna great big confusion.
Dat ya is de deep secret weh wi all mus know.

Wah dis chaptа bout?

Chapter 27 tell sey when waan waak sohda tru di world, im noh leh no track so nobody cyan follow im path. Im say when words are truly good, dem cyaan find no flaw inna dem. True calculation musnt need no tool. Wa properly close mus av no lock, an still no one cyan open it. Wa properly tie mus av no rope, an still no one cyan loose it. De sage always ready fi savi people, so nobody nuh get lef behind, an always ready fi savi tings so nothing nuh get trow wey. De good an de bad need each other - de good dem is teacher, de bad dem is lesson. If we disrespect wa we learn from an wa we learn tru, we cyan know true tings even if we tink we smart.

Dis chapter mek mi tink bout how mi deal wid people an situations every day. Sometimes mi act in ways weh leh marks pan oda people feelings, or mi speak words weh cyaan tek back. But when mi wahn wa really good at wa mi du, mi mus larn fi wao sohda dat mi actions done set nobody back. Mi also haffi respect even de people weh teach mi troo hard ways - dem lesson teach mi more dan any book eba. An if mi nuh value wa mi learn from life, mi jus get lost inna confusion, no matta how much mi tink mi know.

An mi waan remember fi respect every lesson life bring - even de one weh come troo struggle. If mi du wa mi du inna peace, nobody cyan find no fault inna it.
