道冲而用之或不盈,
How deep and unfathomable it is, as if it were the Honoured Ancestor of all things!
渊兮似万物之宗。
We should blunt our sharp points, and unravel the complications of things;
挫其锐,解其纷,
we should attemper our brightness, and bring ourselves into agreement with the obscurity of others.
和其光,同其尘。
How pure and still the Tao is, as if it would ever so continue!
湛兮其若存,
I do not know whose son it is.
吾不知谁之子,
It might appear to have been before God.
象帝之先。
