Bii tëree bi mooy gisal danoongay, wi ngay gis ne yoon wi mette waaye nit ñi nangay soloo yu xuj. Kon moom laa, ku ko def, dañu koy wax ne way lay wane. Lii mooy seen yucc wi.

Anta def suxjël?
Tundi bi, man a ngi tëbëx ci yoon wi. Man a ngi jàngóo seen bopp, maa ngi gisale soo leen a tëbëxu. Soo gis ne soo yëg ci soloo, man a ngi yóbbu ma ci yoon wi. Lii mooy jàpp gi.
If I were suddenly to become known, and (put into a position to) conduct (a government) according to the Great Tao, what I should be most afraid of would be a boastful display. The great Tao (or way) is very level and easy; but people love the by-ways.
