Alo, Simon. Progresa grande oji!

30

Those who use Dao to assist a ruler
Ci usa Dau per aida un renor

Don't use weapons to wage war on the world.
No usa arma per fa gera contra la mundo.

Such deeds tend to backfire.
Tal atas tende rebondi. (ance faes = deeds?)

An army yields a crop of brambles.
Un armada produi un recolie de rubos.

A battle yields a year of hunger.
Un batalia produi un anio de famia.

Those with skill accomplish their ends and then stop,
Los ci ave capasia ateni se gol (?) e alora para,

Not daring to consider force.
No osante considera usa fortia.

They achieve but don't revel.
Los reali ma no selebra.

They achieve but don't assert.
Los reali ma no dise forte.

They achieve but don't boast.
Los reali ma no vanta.

They achieve but aren't smug.
Los reali ma no loda se.

They achieve but don't compel.
Los reali ma no obliga otras.

Strength as a rule grows old.
Fortia deveni gastada normal.

This isn't Dao,
Esta no es Dau,

And not being Dao,
E no esente Dau,

It soon expires.
El fini pronto.
