A judge must be fair;
He is not upright judge who is false
An upright judge must suffer also the death
Rather than judging wrongly.

It is easy to tame
The bear, the lion, the cat and the dog;
But by all means you can not
Teach good things to a bad woman.

Woman who takes sells herself;
Woman who gives gives herself up;
Woman who wants her honour to be preserved
Shall neither take nor give.

A sweet word breaks down a lot of angers,
And hard words exasperate an enraged heart
To the good person you must speak sweetly
And with a lot of wisdom to the wicked man.

Drinking and eating madly
Can be harmful to ourselves;
I think that he is a madman
The one who loses his body through his tongue.

Mad is the man who does not want to serve himself
When he can not pay a servant;
He would be wrong in thinking about the others,
What he does not wish to think about himself.
