Initial statement of the Uncertainty principle in "Über den anschaulichen Inhalt der quantentheoretischen Kinematik und Mechanik" in Zeitschrift für Physik, 43 (1927)
Variant translation: The more precisely the position is determined, the less precisely the momentum is known in this instant, and vice versa.
