O drom e devehestar si sar o kthekhipen: o arathaqo ke pe nicaverelasqo, o nicaqo ke pe arathaverelasqo. E devehestar harijinas le hasilqo thai xurdanas le kamutqo. Thaj o drom e manušqo kerel o buti: xurdanas le kamutqe than te džas alal le hasilqe. Vareko ko o dromes, si odoj ko kerel pesqo thaj na prašel pesqo.

O drom e devehestar, kas lobeasqo si, o thav e kthekha? O oluqo ke pe thavdasqo, o nemeqo ke pe dupjarda; o thaj le hasilqo ke pe cirdadasqo, o kamutqo ke pe xurdadasqo. O drom e devehestar, harijinas le hasilqe thai xurdanas le kamutqe. O drom e manušqo avela sar na: harijinas le kamutqe thai xurdanas le hasilqe. So te kerelas le hasilqo te džas alal o trupni? Varesavo ko the drom. Akana, o pheñalikno kerel thaj na dikhel pesqe, phirel thaj na xal pesqo, a na čiivel te dela pesqe brhama.

Sarak i miro?
Me dikhav, kaj o buti thaj o phudrima forosqe si butvar sar o phudrima e devlesqe. The me čiivav te xurdav le hasilqo thaj te xurdav le kamutqo, the me kamav te dikhav, kaj manušen the dikhelas sar o drom. Me kamav te haljav le hasilqo, na te thodiv.
So kerava azdi?
Akana me kamav te haljav e naftoqe thaj te xurdav le butoqe, sar e devehestar kerel. Te haljav lumniqo thaj te dangjarav o barvaliqe. Te kerav buti sa te xurdav le hasilqe, na te dangjarav pesqe.
May not the Way (or Tao) of Heaven be compared to the (method of) bending a bow? The (part of the bow) which was high is brought low, and what was low is raised up. (So Heaven) diminishes where there is superabundance, and supplements where there is deficiency. It is the Way of Heaven to diminish superabundance, and to supplement deficiency.
