    It gets clearer if you flip it around to sound less poetic:

    Do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

    That which can be explained by stupidity, do not attribute to malice.

    Or perhaps in more direct words someone might actually say:

    If you can explain it with stupidity, it’s probably not malice.
