[lojban-beginners] Aesop "Let a man be one thing or the other..."

[ravas <ravas@outlook.com>]

"A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him."
-Aesop

Some thoughts for a more neutral / modern phrasing:
Let a person be as they choose, and then we know how to meet them.
Accept a person as they are, and then we know how to meet them.

I found this very difficult to translate.

ga nai i'a lo prenu cu cuxna vo'a gi mi'a djuno le du'u tadji lo nu penmi vo'a

Smells like gibberish to me.

e'o sidju
