Therefore, it is only the Sage,
who can look at shapeless things, 
who can listen to the silence
and knows how emptiness gets tangible
and after that [become a part of] – 
and merge with emptiness.

[Silence]

[Perfection]

After that, he has an access to the perfection
of the Heaven and the Earth, 
and without distance access to infinity. 
He surrounds it like a lining
but without stuffing it
If one makes Tao typical,
than it is called: 
To bring yourself to true perfection' 

Who has a clear sight
can distinguish by nature the extreme,
and knows what others cannot know,
have at one's disposal 
what others cannot comprehend.
That is called:
'Distinguish the summit and extreme'

[Summit]

[Correct position]

Sage kings used this principle
and the world submitted itself to them.
They did not know of preference or aversion,
the way up they used [the emptiness
and the Tao motionless]
and the people never lost the trail.
The way up empty, downward motionless,
that kept the Tao in correct position.
 

They were really able to stay
without desire and were able
to be the body of the nation.
In upward direction
they had really nothing on
through that the countless phenomenon's 
reached full deployment.

They divided al things in correct order
and kept the countless people without fight.
They gave them all the correct names
And the countless beings established of itself.
They neither did choose 
the side  of putting things in order, 
nor the side of disorderliness and idleness.

[Order]

They achieved the immense great,
without exertion for a cause.
They get their part to deepness and refinement
without the need to ask for that.
[...] they gave their powers 
to the One and only
without the need to cultivate, 
they were part of the roots of Tao,
and with the fewest in their hands
they knew the most.
They had a share in the center of existence,
and by handling of the right
they straightened the curved and slanting.

[Roots]

[Refinement]
