I els prendrà per fer-los oficials que comanden mil homes o bé cinquanta. Els farà llaurar els seus propis conreus i segar els seus propis sembrats, i els farà fabricar les seues armes i els ormeigs dels seus carros de guerra. Us prendrà les filles com a perfumistes, cuineres i pastisseres.

A thousand motives will excite them thereto, the strength of one man is so unequal to his wants, and his mind so unfitted for perpetual solitude, that he is soon obliged to seek assistance and relief of another, who in his turn requires the same.
|
Un miler de motius els hi impulsen, la força d’un home és tan desigual a les seues necessitats i la seua ment tan poc adaptada a la solitud perpètua, que aviat es veu obligat a cercar l’assistència i l’ajuda d’altri, qui al seu torn requereix el mateix.

For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and though himself might deserve some decent degree of honors of his contemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them.
|
Perquè, essent tots els homes originalment iguals, ningú per naixença no pot tenir el dret de situar la seua pròpia família en preferència perpètua a totes les altres per sempre, i encara que ell mateix puga merèixer un cert grau d’honors dels seus contemporanis, els seus descendents poden ser massa indignes per a heretar-los.
