Alo, Simon. Grasias per la esplicas de "per e par" e "sabe e conose". Me va atenta usa la metodo ce tu ia sujesta.

One uses principle to rule a country.
On usa prinsipe per governa un pais

And surprise to wage a battle,
E surprende per gida un batalia,

But no effort at all to gain the world.
Ma asoluta no fortia per gania la mundo.

How do I know this is so?
Como me sabe ce esta es vera?

Through this!
Causa de esta!

With so many restrictions in the world,
Con tan multe restrinjes el la mundo,

The people still grow poor.
La persones an tal deveni povre.

People have effective tools,
La persones ave utiles produos,

Yet the country and the people are confused.
Ma la pais e se popla es confusada.

People are clever and cunning,
La persones es astuta e rusos,

Yet odd circumstances occur all the more.
Ma situas strana aveni an plu.

The laws are broadcast more and more,
La leges es difusada plu e plu,

Yet robbers and thieves abound.
Ma banditos e furores abunda.

Thus the seers declare:
Donce la sajas declara:

I do nothing, and people reform themselves.
Me fa no cosa, e cadun reformi se.

I remain calm, and people correct themselves.
Me sta calma, e cadun coreti se.

I don't interfere, and people enrich themselves.
Me no interfere, e cadun rici se.

I renounce desire, and people simplify themselves.
Me renunsia desira, e cadun simpli se.

When the rule is subdued and muted,
Cuando la governa es cuieta e noiante,

The people are honest and sincere.
La persones es onesta e sinsera.

When the rule is able and exacting,
Cuando la governa es capable e xercante,

The people are hopeless and lacking.
La persones es sin espera e posese.

Disaster depends on good fortune,
Desastre depende sur bon fortuna,

And good fortune hides in disaster.
E bon fortuna asconde disastre.

Who knows where it ends?
Ci sabe do el va fini?

If there is no fairness,
Si no ave justia,

Order becomes impairment,
Ordina deveni feri, (Organiza o Ordina ?)

And benefit becomes calamity.
E benefica deveni desastre.

The people have long been confused.
De tempo vea la persones ia es ja confusada.

Thus the seers say:
Donce la sajas dise:

Define but don't divide.
Defini ma no divide.

Exact but don't damage.
Esije ma no dana.

Direct but don't strain.
Dirije ma no forsa.

Shine but don't dazzle.
Brilia ma no disturba.
