Te mau parau aau nei, e mau huru rahi te mau huru iti, e mau huru rahi te mau huru ma te faaroo. Ae ra, aore e taata i te hoorai e na roto i te parau, aore e taata e faaroo i te parau. E mea tiai te parau i te putea tumu, e mea tiai te mau mea e faaitehia nei i te taata rahi. No te mea e haamau te taata i te reira, no reira aore e taata e a ao i te mau parau aau. O te taata e ao i te parau, e iti rahi; o te taata e faaroo i te parau, e rahi rahi. No reira, o te taata sapience, e haamau i te huru o te mau taata tiavai, ae ra, i roto ia, e pupu te mau mea here o te vai.

E mau parau rahi te mau parau aau, e mau huru rahi te mau huru iti, e mau huru rahi hoi te mau huru ma te faaroo. Ae ra, aore e taata i te hoorai e na roto i te parau rahi, aore e taata e faaroo i te parau rahi.
E pēhea tōna ʻāʻano ia'u?
Ua ite vau i te huru o te mau parau aau i teie nei mahana: e mau huru rahi te mau huru iti, e mau huru rahi te mau huru ma te faaroo. Ae ra, aore e taata e na roto i te parau rahi, aore e taata e faaroo i te parau rahi. No reira, i te reira, aore e taata e a ao i te parau aau, no te mea e haamau te taata i te reira.
E aha tāʻu e rave i tēia mahana?
I teie nei mahana, e tiaki vau i te parau rahi i te tahi taata e haapiihia nei e toku. Aore e ahere i te parau rahi i te mea e haamauhia nei te taata i te reira, ae ra, e faaroo vau i te tahi taata e haapiihia nei i te parau, no te mea, e iti rahi te mau taata e ao i te parau.
My words are very easy to know, and very easy to practise; but there is no one in the world who is able to know and able to practise them. They who know me are few, and I am on that account (the more) to be prized. It is thus that the sage wears (a poor garb of) hair cloth, while he carries his (signet of) jade in his bosom.
