If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, "Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well."

    男が街頭掃除人と呼ばれる場合、ミケランジェロが描いたり、ベートーベンが音楽を作曲したり、シェイクスピアが詩を書いたりしたとしても、街を掃除する必要があります。彼は、天と地のすべてのホストが一時停止して、「ここに彼の仕事をうまくやった素晴らしい通りの掃除人が住んでいた」と言うように、通りをきれいに掃除する必要があります。

    어떤 사람이 거리 청소부로 부름을 받으면 미켈란젤로가 그림을 그렸거나 베토벤이 음악을 작곡했거나 셰익스피어가 시를 썼듯이 거리를 청소해야 합니다. 하늘과 땅의 모든 만물이 멈추어 서서 "여기 자기 일을 잘한 위대한 거리 청소부가 살았다"라고 말할 정도로 거리를 청소해야 합니다.

    якщо людину покликано бути прибиральником, вона повинна підмітати вулиці так само, як Мікеланджело малював чи Бетховен складав музику чи Шекспір писав вірші. він повинен так добре підмітати вулиці, щоб усі війська неба й землі зупинилися й сказали: «Тут жив великий прибиральник, який добре виконував свою роботу».
