Do not forget that while waiting for the rainy season, which must rid us of our enemies, we have no recourse but destruction and fire. Consider the land bathed with our sweat must not furnish our enemies the least nourishment.
Pa bliye ke pandan nap tann sezon lapli, ki pral krabinen lennmi nou yo, nou pa gen okenn chwa ke pou detwi ak met dife dèyè yo. Se swè nou ki wouze tè a, ki fè li donnen; lennmi nou yo pa ka manje nan donn sa.
