为无为,事无事,味无味。大小多少,报怨以德。
图难于其易,为大于其细。天下难事必作于易,天下大事必作于细。
是以圣人终不为大,故能成其大。夫轻诺必寡信,多易必多难。是以圣人犹难之,故终无难矣。
Faatino i le le faatino, galuega i le le galuega, tausia le le tausia. Tele ma le laiti, tele ma le laiti, alu i le faamagaloina o le le fia alofa. Ia galulue i mea faigata i le vave, galue i mea tele i le laiti. O mea faigata uma o le lalolagi e amata mai i le vave, o mea tele uma o le lalolagi e amata mai i le laiti. Ona o lena, o le tagata ia manuia e le faia mea tele, ona mafai lea ona sili. O le tasi e vave ona talimodie, e tele ona le fidede. O le tasi e fai tele mea vave, e tele ona feʻitaga. Ona o lena, o le tagata ia manuia e te avea ma ia mea faigata, ono o lena, e leai se feʻitaga.
