Chapter 39
Te Mau Mea i Rapa i te Taata Tahi
Original
昔之得一者：天得一以清，地得一以宁，神得一以灵，谷得一以盈，万物得一以生，侯王得一以为天下贞。
其致之，天无以清将恐裂，地无以宁将恐发，神无以灵将恐歇，谷无以盈将恐竭，万物无以生将恐灭，侯王无以贵高将恐蹶。
故贵以贱为本，高以下为基。是以侯王自称孤、寡、不谷。此非以贱为本邪？非乎？故致数誉无誉。不欲琭琭如玉，珞珞如石。

Te mau mea i matamua i rapa i te taata tahi: e te rangi i rapa i te taata tahi e aore aera e haamau, e te fenua i rapa i te taata tahi e aore aera e haamau, e te agaia i rapa i te taata tahi e aore aera e haamau, e te vauahi i rapa i te taata tahi e aore aera e haamau, e te mau mea taatoaraa i rapa i te taata tahi e aore aera e haamau, e te mau ari i nui rahi i rapa i te taata tahi e turu i te披覆. I pilihia era, e aore aera te rangi e haamau teie, e maea haamau; e aore aera te fenua e haamau teie, e pauroa haamau; e aore aera te agaia e haamau teie, e puhi haamau; e aore aera te vauahi e haamau teie, e maeha haamau; e aore aera te mau mea taatoaraa e haamau teie, e pehea haamau; e aore aera te mau ari i nui rahi e haamau teie, e hoè haamau. No reira, e te mau mea mua rahi, e te vaihaa teie ia ratou; e te mau mea rahi, e te vahie teie ia ratou. Noatia, e te mau ari i nui rahi i tapu i te披覆, i vaha ia ratou i te披覆, i te披覆, i te披覆. E hau rahi teie, e hau rahi teie? Aore ra, e te披覆, e hau rahi teie ia ratou. No reira, e piti rahi teie, e piti rahi teie; e hau rahi teie. Aore e taa i manava, e e rava rahi, e e rave rahi i te披覆? Aore ra, e hau rahi teie. No reira, e piti rahi teie, e piti rahi teie. Aore e taa i manava e e rava rahi e e rave rahi i te披覆. E piti rahi teie, e piti rahi teie; e hau rahi teie. Aore e taa i manava, e e rava rahi, e e rave rahi i te披覆? Aore ra, e hau rahi teie. No reira, e hau rahi teie, e hau rahi teie.
