Mbudi wa ngindu yena yakana yangana, kabi mbudi wa kongo wa mvu. Zina yayakana yangana, kabi zina ya kongo wa mvu. Bubidi bubidi buzaya mbangi ya mbongo wa kuna, zina yazaya mama wa bintu bio bose. Yeku ye, bwa koko bu kana mavwa, wona ye ayo ya kunanga; bwa koko bu kana mavwa, wona ye ayo ya kunengesa. Bibo bivimbi vyavudila kuna kwaku, kansi vyakina zina, bio vimvwa kwikila. Yandi kwikila ye kwikila, bia bia mbangi ya bintu bio bose.

The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things.
