| 62.1.1 |
Tao is the hidden shrine
(in) all things. |
| 62.1.2 |
(It is) the treasure of the good
people,
(and) what the not good people (try to)
keep. |
| 62.1.3 |
(Because) sweet words can be marketed,
(and
with) honorable action, praise can be put
on people. |
| 62.2.1 |
People being not good,
how (can) they be
abandoned? |
| 62.2.2 |
So
the Son of Heaven [i.e. the emperor] is founded,
(and) three
grand dukes are installed (to advance Tao). |
| 62.2.3 |
Although (there is the honor of) having a big
jade,
placed before (their chariots driven by) four horses,
rather be sitting (and) advancing in this Tao. |
| 62.3.1 |
Why did the ancients value this
Tao? |
| 62.3.2 |
Not to say with (which) to seek gains,
(but)
have sins to avoid! |
| 62.3.3 |
So
is valuable (to) the world. |
