He who stands on his tiptoes does not stand firm; he who stretches his legs does not walk (easily). (So), he who displays himself does not shine; he who asserts his own views is not distinguished; he who vaunts himself does not find his merit acknowledged; he who is self-conceited has no superiority allowed to him.

Uyo wakuŵa m'pando ng'aŵi ng'aŵi tasungunuka; uyo wakugaluka pang'ono tasungunuka. Uyo wakuyowoya za iyo yekha tasamanyikwe; uyo wazizga nafunde ya iyo yekha tasamanyikwe; uyo wakusimikwa iyo yekha tasangalale; uyo wakuyowoya kuti ali wambufu tasungunuke. Ichi pakuŵa na Chiŵiri, chikuŵa ngati zakudya zakusemphana. Zinthu zinandi zikuzunzula izi, chifukwa cha izi, uyo wakugwira ntchito na Chiŵiri tasakhalako.
