Layi mah wa-ang tawu, baraso aden urangnyo sanga: aden ma ambiak sasuatu nan indak punyo den, sarato ma ambiak asie di tampaik nan indak den tanami.
I will do good with all my might; the tears of the suffering poor shall be like scalding blood in my veins; I will not sit down and rest, nor take my ease, nor hold possessions while they are in want.
