Bu Ndongo
为学日益，为道日损。损之又损，以至于无为。无为而无不为。
取天下常以无事，及其有事，不足以取天下。

Boo xamri bee, xam-xam miy yàgg sottu. Boo dëri Taw, ay yoonu Taw miy tuuti. Tëriwul ak tëriwul, lëkk ma dëppoo tebbi lekat a ñuul. Te lëkk ba ñuul, du ñuul benn lii; ñuulug sax lay njëkke. Ni nga war a jota suuf si, wuuteel ak benn këtan, teel na la suus. Te ndaxma soo xamci bëgg-bëgg, du njëkk nga a jota suuf si.

Lojuwaa nguurug xam-xam dafa yàgg, te dëri bii ngir dëppoo Taw dafay tuuti. Suuf sii dëppoo ñuul, te ñuul lafay def ay seeni. Yu bari yi ñu bëgg a xam, yaatu nañu ci seen biir. Te du ñuul dëppoo lajj, lu du lajj lay def.

Wolof gi ndimbal naa ci ay yoonu xam-xam yu bari. Waaye waa këram du nëpp ñu woowe ci sama ñëppoo. Waaye sella ba taxaw nga ci, fekkiwulaa kenn ci ay mbir. Bu xam-xam mi bawoo ci sama biir, nattu ma li ngir tëri yoon gi.
Anta def suxjël?
Boo x�ëppoo lekk ci alxam, wuteel nunu ci bopp. Yónnal yoon bi ndaxma soo xamci bëgg-bëgg, du njëkk nga a yëgële. Wooyeel benn waxtu ci ëllëg, dindi alxam ak seen bopp.
He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day to day to diminish (his doing). He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing nothing (on purpose). Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.

Boo xamri bee, xam-xam miy yàgg sottu. Boo dëri Taw, ay yoonu Taw miy tuuti. Tëriwul ak tëriwul, lëkk ma dëppoo tebbi lekat a ñuul. Te lëkk ba ñuul, du ñuul benn lii; ñuulug sax lay njëkke. Ni nga war a jota suuf si, wuuteel ak benn këtan, teel na la suus. Te ndaxma soo xamci bëgg-bëgg, du njëkk nga a jota suuf si.
