Chapter 9

Geassan Njuovvama

知止 功成身退 谦逊

Original

持而盈之，不如其已；揣而锐之，不可长保。
金玉满堂，莫之能守；富贵而骄，自遗其咎。
功遂身退，天之道也。

Jus don geassašat ja dagahat dasa rádje, de lea buorre go earsit. Jos don čiegadehašat ja dagahat dan bivnnuhussan, de dat ii sáhte guoktiluodan. Go viidda ja ruovdi lea fillon, de ii lean geasašat mii dattain. Jus rijkis ja ollu mearkkaš, de dat lea dušše du oktii. Go buokčaleami maŋŋela, mana eret – dát lea nealggi luohit.

Mii dásas lea dasa?

Dát guoktekeadjus čuoččuda ahte go dat lea rádjes, de lea buorre go earsit. Go dat lea bivnnuhus, de ii sáhte guoktiluodan. Erenoamppá, rijkis ja hearrádat ii sáhte bidjat duovdagiid. Go buokčaleapmi lea divrras, de das maŋŋela fertejit mana eret – dát lea nealggi luohit.

Mot dat guoská munnje?

Dát guoktekeadjus muittiha muoa ahte ii lean dárbbušat geassit ja dagahit dan rádjes. Mu guliid sáhttet muitit mua mu prinvssa ja geassit dušše dassái. Oahppat earssit lea buorre.

Maid galggašin bargat odne?

Vugi maŋŋel boahtá, čuje muhtun das maid don gáibit – de earsit nu ahte dat ii lasihuvvo. Oaččo buorrre muitun ahte go buokčaleapmi lea divrras, de fertejit mana eret.
