Batho ge ba tshela, mmele wo o se nago twa; ge ba shwa, mmele wo o thata. Dinyane tša dilo tšeohle le dimela di tshela ka go robala, ge di shwa di omana. Ka gabotse, batho bao ba hlomilwego ka thata ba tswalela ka leoatla, fela bao ba robalago ba tswalela ka bophelo. Ka moo, moraheng ge o na le thata, o wela; ka mobung ge o thata, o a robega. Seo se bothata se dula seo, se segoelwa ka fa fase; seo se robegilego se ya ka godimo.

Goe tee, dirê tsepedišano tša go phela ka temo. Ge o ikutlha o thata thateng, iponatše ka moo o tshwanelago ke go fokola mmeleng wo o swananego le meetse a o rolago melaladi.
Man at his birth is supple and weak; at his death, firm and strong. (So it is with) all things. Trees and plants, in their early growth, are soft and brittle; at their death, dry and withered. Thus it is that firmness and strength are the concomitants of death; softness and weakness, the concomitants of life.
