Chapta 64
Wetin Stan Stan I Esi Fi Hol
Original
合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。
为者败之，执者失之。是以圣人无为故无败，无执故无失。
民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。
是以圣人欲不欲，不贵难得之货；学不学，复众人之所过。以辅万物之自然而不敢为。

Wetin neba stat yet, i esi fi plan.
Wetin stilwel, i esi fi brek.
Wetin smol, i esi fi spred.
Du yu tin bifo i stat, and mek i rigt bifo trobul i kam.
Di big wod we ten man kin hab, i stat fom wan smol siid.
Di ten stori-ta, i kam fom wan bag of sand we i pile.
Di tousan mil-jani, i stan fom wan step.
Pesin we i du to much, i go kil. Pesin we i grasp to tight, i go los.
Na dis wi man we i no du non-aksyon i no kil notin, and i no grasp i no los.
Pipul dem we wud, olwes dem fal wen dem klos to di end.
Bot wen yu du di las tin like yu du di fos tin, yu no go eva fil.
Na dis wi man we i sabi i want tings we i no wud normally want, i no pris gold and silva we i rite.
I lern tings we i no eva lern bifo, so dat i kin korekt di mistek we pipul dem du.
I onli elp evri tin fi gro i netural wei, and i no tri fi mek am somtin we i na.
