Here's a translation of a selected passage from the Guru Granth Sahib:

As the Sikh community flourishes globally, English translations serve as a vital bridge for second and third-generation Sikhs who may not be fluent in Gurmukhi. Furthermore, it allows the universal message of the Guru Granth Sahib—which emphasizes equality, social justice, and the oneness of humanity—to reach a global audience seeking spiritual growth.

— From the poem "As the Rivers Flow" (Guru Granth Sahib, page 4)

By thinking, He cannot be reduced to thought, even by thinking hundreds of thousands of times. By remaining silent, inner silence is not obtained, even by remaining deeply absorbed. The hunger of the hungry for wealth is not appeased, even by piling up loads of worldly goods. Hundreds of thousands of clever tricks, but not even one of them will go along with you in the end. So how can you become truthful? And how can the veil of falsehood be torn away? By obeying the Order of His Will, says Nanak, this is written from the very beginning.

The Guru Granth Sahib is the sacred scripture of Sikhism, a monotheistic faith founded in the 15th century in the Punjab region of India. It is considered the ultimate spiritual authority and guide for Sikhs, containing the teachings of the ten Sikh Gurus and other spiritual leaders. The Guru Granth Sahib is written in Gurmukhi script and consists of 1,430 pages. While the original text is in Punjabi, there have been numerous translations of the scripture into various languages, including English.
