1. The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.
2. (Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things.
3. Always without desire we must be found,
If its deep mystery we would sound;
But if desire always within us be,
Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.
4. Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名。
无名，天地之始；有名，万物之母。
故常无欲，以观其妙；常有欲，以观其徼。
此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。
玄之又玄，众妙之门。
【译文】
取道于寻常可取之道，其道非恒久之道；取名于寻常可取之名，其名非恒久之名。取名于无名，就好比天地未判之初始；取名于有名，乃是万物化生之根本。所以，通常要无所趋求，以便观想那无以名状的微妙；时常又要有所趋求，以便观想那成名化物的极限。这两方面是同一行为体的不同显现，同样深及于行为体的幽深内殿。在这同样深及幽深的两者之间作不断深入的循环运行，就是一切行为运作的微妙法门。
Chapter 2
1. All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the want of skill is.
2. So it is that existence and non-existence give birth the one to (the idea of) the other; that difficulty and ease produce the one (the idea of) the other; that length and shortness fashion out the one the figure of the other; that (the ideas of) height and lowness arise from the contrast of the one with the other; that the musical notes and tones become harmonious through the relation of one with another; and that being before and behind give the idea of one following another.
3. Therefore the sage manages affairs without doing anything, and conveys his instructions without the use of speech.
4. All things spring up, and there is not one which declines to show itself; they grow, and there is no claim made for their ownership; they go through their processes, and there is no expectation (of a reward for the results). The work is accomplished, and there is no resting in it (as an achievement).
The work is done, but how no one can see;
'Tis this that makes the power not cease to be.
天下皆知美之为美，斯恶矣；皆知善之为善，斯不善矣。
故有无相生，难易相成，长短相形，高下相倾，音声相和，前后相随……
是以圣人处无为之事，行不言之教，万物作焉而不辞，生而不有，为而不恃，功成而不居。
夫唯不居，是以不去。
【译文】
天下人都知道美之所以为美，于是就有了令人嫌恶的丑；都知道善之所以为善，于是就有了反面的不善。所以，"有"与"无"相互突显，"难"与"易"相互促成，"长"与"短"相互显现，"高"与"下"相依而存，"音"与"声"相互陪衬，"前"与"后"相互照应——这些"名"相反而相成，迁延不居而不独立自足。因此，圣人从事于无所成名的事务，施行无须仗名立言的劝教，坦荡迎候万物的涌现与流变而不抵触畏避，生养了一切并不拘系自有，做成了什么并不执为仗恃，成就了事业并不矜居功名。就是因为他不矜居功名，所以他不会消逝。
