Te Aho e faahiahia noa ana i te hoe mana fafau, a vetahia e parau te reira i te mau mea atoa. Ina paari te mau arihi rahi e paturu i teie aratai, e faahotu rahi teie nei ao ia ia. Ina faahotu teie nei ao, e anaanuanu te mau aratai i roto i te nao nia i te mau mea maremare, e haaputu vau ia ratou i te paari mauatoha. I te paari mauatoha o te mea e tamataorehia ana, e pili ra teie nei i te hoerata. Ina pili te hoerata i te nao nia i te mau mea maremare, e mauri noa te hoê ao.

The Tao in its regular course does nothing (for the sake of doing it), and so there is nothing which it does not do. If princes and kings were able to maintain it, all things would of themselves be transformed by them. Simplicity without a name Is free from all external aim. With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will.
