Hohoo, musi ndi tshi vha na mbofho ya u ṋwalela thuso dzawe, ndi ṱhogomele. Ndi nwele tshiḓi tsha u khwathula na u dzhia thundu nge hafhi. Ndi shumise lungano dza u dzhia, fhadza na u vha na tshilapfu.
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.
