"(என்) சமூகத்தவர்களே! அளவையிலும் நிறுவையிலும், நீதியைக் கொண்டு நீங்கள் பூர்த்தி செய்யுங்கள். (மக்களுக்குக் கொடுக்க வேண்டிய) அவர்களுடைய பொருட்களைக் குறைத்து விடாதீர்கள். பூமியில் விஷமம் செய்துகொண்டு (வரம்பு மீறி) அலையாதீர்கள்.

තවද අහෝ මාගේ ජනයිනි! නුඹලා කිරුම් මිනුම් සාධාරණ ලෙසින් පූර්ණවත් කරනු. තවද ජනයාට ඔවුන්ගේ භාණ්ඩවල අඩුපාඩු නො කරනු. තවද මහපොළොවේ කලහකාරීන් ලෙස ඉක්මවා කටයුතු නො කරනු.
