Bw' omukulu ow' ekitiibwa ye ateeka mu kafiisa, abantu beefuula mu kukwatibwa n' okusanyuka. Bw' ateeka mu kukyusakyusa n' okulaga ebikolebwa, abantu beefuula mu kulemesa n' okuswerezebwa. Obulabe butonde ddala nnyo, omusanyuse guyinza okubaamu; omusanyuse guyinza okubaamu obulabe. Ani ye y' ateegeerera ku mmwe yeekengera? Sirina muntu weewulira lwaki. Ekintu ekituufu ekyenkana okukyusibwa mu by' ekyo; ekirungi ekyenkana okukyusibwa mu bibi. Abantu bwe balemese okumanya, ekiseera kye kirikose era kirikuumvo. Kuba bwe watoloola omukulu ow' ekitiibwa ye yagamba: n' oyita obusika obutagattika, n' omukwanwa gutagattika, obugooboobutagattika, n' enkola etiimu mungi nnyo.
The government that seems the most unwise, Oft goodness to the people best supplies; That which is meddling, touching everything, Will work but ill, and disappointment bring. Misery! happiness is to be found by its side! Happiness! misery lurks beneath it! Therefore the sage is (like) a square which cuts no one (with its angles); (like) a corner which injures no one (with its sharpness). He is straightforward, but allows himself no license; he is bright, but does not dazzle.
