Soo def bari te nga yonnee ci yoon yi, nit ñu borooma; soo lekkal defukaay yu sax, njokk bi dafay jokk; soo lekkal meññeef yu bari, lu woon ngi fi am; soo lekkal yoon yu bari, ndëppante a bari.

Jokk teñu ngi ci àdduna bi, def lu woon ngi ci mbëti, ci lu amula dëlluwaay ngi jokk àdduna bi. Hora ne lëjëj moom? Loolu mooy: àdduna bi soo lekkal kii-yoo ak kii-yoo, nit ñu kër. Soo lekkal defukaay yu sax, njokk bi dafay jokk. Soo lekkal meññeef yu bari, lu nekuwul dëppante ci boroom. Soo lekkal koyrruwaay ak yoon yu bari, ndëppante ak ñaar a bari ci àdduna bi. Kon Ndëlbi bi mooy wax: "Man maa defeer wul, nit ñu sax ci boppam; man maa bëgg firdindi, nit ñu di firdindi; man maa defeer wul, nit ñu daraja; man maa amula dëggës, nit ñu melni suuf wi."

Lii mooy leeral ne ku ko àdduna bi dafa jokk ci ndëggu: def lu tollu, baax ngi ci mbëti, waaye ci woy-woy dafay tollu ne ni nga war a jokk. Soo def bari te nga yonnee ci yoon yi, nit ñu borooma; soo lekkal defukaay yu sax, njokk bi dafay jokk; soo lekkal meññeef yu bari, lu woon ngi fi am; soo lekkal yoon yu bari, ndëppante a bari.
Nan la ko wax?
Loolu dafay dëe ma bëgg a xam ne bu amul dëlluwaay, mel ni seen naqar wi, waaye du melni yeneen. Te bu nu ne maa soofal boroom yoon yi, dafay tollu ci lu nu bari, walaay ci xel wi. Ndëggu bi dafay mel ni maa sos ma bopp, teemale nit ñu sax ci seen bopp.
Anta def suxjël?
Bëggalal yoon bu amula dëlluwaay ci bindub sa njaboot walla sa art bi. Tooyal waxug yoon yi te ngay woyof ne lu tollu nga war a def. Fii ak fii, sosal benn defug wul: mënoo sos ci bopp ng te ngay sos.
A state may be ruled by (measures of) correction; weapons of war may be used with crafty dexterity; (but) the kingdom is made one's own (only) by freedom from action and purpose. Therefore a sage has said, 'I will do nothing (of purpose), and the people will be transformed of themselves.'
