Chapta 41

Wetin Di Pesin We God Tink I Sabi Du

上士闻道,勤而行之;中士闻道,若存若亡;下士闻道,大笑之。不笑不足以为道。
故建言有之:明道若昧,进道若退,夷道若颣,上德若谷,大白若辱,广德若不足,建德若偷,质真若渝,大方无隅,大器晚成,大音希声,大象无形,道隐无名。夫唯道,善贷且成。
Wen God tink i sabi, i bi God. Wen i bi God, i bi God taim i bi God bifo God bin bi God. God don mek bodi, bodi don mek spirit, spirit don mek sole, den all di tin we de. All tin carry bat wit dem, dem big op wit bat. Di two of dem don join wit strong win we mek all tin swit.

All pipo hate di tin we God no like - lonesomeness, poverty, waka wit no papa. Bot di king dem sabi sey di most great men no want to be big, na why dem big men use di poor man word.

Some tin, wen yu mek am small, am big. Some tin, wen yu mek am big, am small. Di man we no sabi gro, dat man go lef im bodi for ground. I bi dis one we go bi di lesson we A go larn yu.

A sef don larn di same tign. God sey: "Wetin yu no waan, l落ef am; watin yu no fit mek, try am; watin yu no waan, stap op." Bot a go mek am simple: di pesin we want be strong mus no try to bi strong.
