    In Gladilatian:

Ma snau mnehek nsawau we mzansawaot snuk mrnryxunuhu.

Ma                  if
sna.u               sentient.(nominalizer)
mne.[h]ek           desired-by.oneself
nsawa.u             happy.(nominalizer)
we                  then
mza.nsawa.ot        directed-to.happy.(abstractor)
snuk                search
mr.nryxunu.[h]u.    not.efficient.(nominalizer)

Literally: "If one is desired by oneself to be a happy one then a search
for happiness is an inefficient thing."
