名与身孰亲？身与货孰多？得与亡孰病？
是故甚爱必大费，多藏必厚亡。
知足不辱，知止不殆，可以长久。

Tur ak xol, song leen? Xol ak samir, song leen? Amar ak melowi, song leen? Ndax samaa ajuwul, am naqar bu gopi. Ndax samaa saxwul, am tux bu gopi. Ndax samaa fey bari, am naqar bu bari. Ndax samaa natt bari, am melowi bu bari. Naka am naan, du fàttee. Naka tofti, du feeñ. Lu jegeefa, laxuwa le ndimbal.

Chapter 44 dellii ne boroom tur ak samir, boroom xol amul sàmmi. Li amnaa mujjee, danga feeñe. Lii ñu ko fey, ñu ko sax. Lu bari aju, lu bari naqar. Lu bari natt, lu bari melowi.
Nan la ko wax?
So xol dafaa jegeef, wallaa tur bu gopi. Manee mën a yëgëloo ne bii samaan gu mujjee wàccee ma ci naqar. Tur bu bari du ma fàttee, kànèeram du ma sotti.
Anta def suxjël?
Jii, jël naka am naan ci sa bop. Jaanu sa tur ci biir ak moor. Wutul bopp sa ba pare. Lu jegeefa, ndimbal le.
Or fame or life, Which do you hold more dear? Or life or wealth, To which would you adhere? Keep life and lose those other things; Keep them and lose your life. Who is content Needs fear no shame. Who knows to stop Incurs no blame. From danger free Long live shall he.
