    TAGALOG

    Sa ilalim ng langit, alam ng lahat ang lakas ng ganda bilang kagandahan ay nakasalalay sa kapangitan.
    Batid ng lahat ang buti ay kabutihan lamang sapagkat nakasalalay iyon sa kasungitan.
    Samakatwid ang umiiral at kawala’y kapwa iniluwal nang magkasabay,
    Ang mahirap at madali’y bumubuo sa isa’t isa.
    Ang mahaba’t maikli’y humuhubog sa bawa’t isa;
    Ang mataas at mahaba’y magkalangkap;
    Ang tinig at tunog ay magkakatugma;
    Harap at likod ay magkasudlong, may pagkakatimbang.
    Sa gayon, ang pantas ay nakasangkot nang walang pagpupunyagi,
    nagtuturo nang walang usapan.
    Ang sampung libong bagay ay naisasakatuparan nang walang pagsisikap.
    Lumilikha, ngunit hindi humahamig,
    Gumagawa, ngunit di nag-aangkin.
    Naisasakatuparan ang anumang panukala; at pagkatapos iligpit iyon,
    Ang mga natupad ay umiiral at tumatagal sa kanyang panahon.

    NEDERLANDS

    Het is omdat iedereen schoonheid als schoon beschouwt
    dat het lelijke bestaat;
    het is omdat iedereen goedheid als goed beleeft
    dat het kwade bestaat.
    Zijn en niet-zijn veroorzaken elkaar;
    moeilijk en eenvoudig vergelijken zich met elkaar;
    lang en kort meten zich aan elkaar;
    hoog en laag onderscheiden zich van elkaar;
    klank en stem vormen zich uit elkaar;
    voor en na rangschikken zich naar elkaar.
    Daarom handelt de wijze door niet-handelen
    en verkondigt hij zonder woorden.
    De tienduizend dingen ontstaan om hem heen
    en hij wijst geen enkele af.
    Hij verbouwt ze, maar neemt er geen in bezit;
    hij kweekt ze, maar laat ze vrij groeien.
    Hij volbrengt zijn taak, maar eist geen genoegdoening,
    en omdat hij geen genoegdoening eist,
    verliest hij niet wat hem toekomt.

    ENGLISH

    All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the want of skill is.

    So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another.

    Therefore the sage manages affairs without doing anything, and conveys his instructions without the use of speech.

    All things spring up, and there is not one which declines to show itself; they grow, and there is no claim made for their ownership; they go through their processes, and there is no expectation (of a reward for the results). The work is accomplished, and there is no resting in it (as an achievement).

    The work is done, but how no one can see;
    'Tis this that makes the power not cease to be.
