“A fool is characterized by their deeds, and an astute person is characterized by their deeds, for wisdom shows in its traces. A fool is known by three things. What three? Bad conduct by way of body, speech, and mind.
ဣမေဟိ ခေါ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, တီဟိ ဓမ္မေဟိ သမန္နာဂတော ဗာလော ဝေဒိတဗ္ဗော၊
These are the three things by which a fool is known.

An astute person is known by three things. What three? Good conduct by way of body, speech, and mind.
ဣမေဟိ ခေါ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, တီဟိ ဓမ္မေဟိ သမန္နာဂတော ပဏ္ဍိတော ဝေဒိတဗ္ဗော၊
These are the three things by which an astute person is known.
တသ္မာတိဟ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, ဧဝံ သိက္ခိတဗ္ဗံ: ‘ယေဟိ တီဟိ ဓမ္မေဟိ သမန္နာဂတော ဗာလော ဝေဒိတဗ္ဗော တေ တယော ဓမ္မေ အဘိနိဝဇ္ဇေတွာ, ယေဟိ တီဟိ ဓမ္မေဟိ သမန္နာဂတော ပဏ္ဍိတော ဝေဒိတဗ္ဗော တေ တယော ဓမ္မေ သမာဒါယ ဝတ္တိဿာမာ'တိ၊ ဧဝဉှိ ဝေါ, ဘိက္ခဝေ, သိက္ခိတဗ္ဗန်”တိ၊
So you should train like this: ‘We will reject the three things by which a fool is known, and we will undertake and follow the three things by which an astute person is known.’ That’s how you should train.”
