(The exhibition of the qualities of the Dao)
古之善为士者，The skilful masters (of the Dao) in old times,
微妙玄通，with a subtle and exquisite penetration, comprehended its mysteries,
深不可识。 and were deep (also) so as to elude men's knowledge.
夫唯不可识， As they were thus beyond men's knowledge,
故强为之容。 I will make an effort to describe of what sort they appeared to be.
豫兮若冬涉川； Shrinking looked they like those who wade through a stream in winter;
犹兮若畏四邻； irresolute like those who are afraid of all around them;
俨兮其若容； grave like a guest (in awe of his host);
涣兮若冰之将释； evanescent like ice that is melting away;
敦兮其若朴； unpretentious like wood that has not been fashioned into anything;
旷兮其若谷； vacant like a valley,
混兮其若浊； and dull like muddy water.
孰能浊以静之徐清？Who can (make) the muddy water (clear)? Let it be still, and it will gradually become clear.
孰能安以久动之徐生？Who can secure the condition of rest? Let movement go on, and the condition of rest will gradually arise.
保此道者，不欲盈。They who preserve this method of the Dao do not wish to be full (of themselves).
夫唯不盈，故能蔽不新成。It is through their not being full of themselves that they can afford to seem worn and not appear new and complete.
