Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder. Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones.

Bw'otagulumiza abagezi, abantu tebajja kusabaako; bw'otagulumiza ebintu ebikulu, abantu tebajja kubawa; bw'otalaga ebintu eby'akawoze, omutima gw'abantu tegujja kukosedwa. Kale omukulu ye yakozesa yeekumi, atera amaani agatte, affa omukulu, ayongereza amagumba. Atera abantu okubeera nga tebannamanya waire w'akawoze, n'oyo alina obukowe ategonderwa kukola bye yenna. Bw'okola ebintu mu kuta魂 kw'ekitiriro, tekuli kintu ekijja kutabeerwa.
