Original
其政闷闷，其民淳淳；其政察察，其民缺缺。
祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。孰知其极？其无正。正复为奇，善复为妖。人之迷，其日固久。
是以圣人方而不割，廉而不刿，直而不肆，光而不耀。

Enkyusaamu
Bw' omukulu ow' ekitiibwa ye ateeka mu kafiisa, abantu beefuula mu kukwatibwa n' okusanyuka. Bw' ateeka mu kukyusakyusa n' okulaga ebikolebwa, abantu beefuula mu kulemesa n' okuswerezebwa. Obulabe butonde ddala nnyo, omusanyuse guyinza okubaamu; omusanyuse guyinza okubaamu obulabe. Ani ye y' ateegeerera ku mmwe yeekengera? Sirina muntu weewulira lwaki. Ekintu ekituufu ekyenkana okukyusibwa mu by' ekyo; ekirungi ekyenkana okukyusibwa mu bibi. Abantu bwe balemese okumanya, ekiseera kye kirikose era kirikuumvo. Kuba bwe watoloola omukulu ow' ekitiibwa ye yagamba: n' oyita obusika obutagattika, n' omukwanwa gutagattika, obugooboobutagattika, n' enkola etiimu mungi nnyo.
