Translation

"The Tao is born, the animal is virtuous, the object is shaped, and the situation is achieved."

Tao created him, virtue nurtured him, things shaped him, and environment made him grow.

"Everything respects Tao and values virtue"

So everything comes from this, so they all respect Tao and value virtue.

"The respect of Tao is the value of virtue, and it is natural for a husband not to live his life."

The respect of "Tao" and the preciousness of "Morality" do not interfere, and let everything form itself (follow nature).

"It's born from the old way, bred by virtue, nurtured by growth, matured by maturity, and supplemented by cultivation."

"Tao" creates all things, while "virtue" nurtures all things, makes all things grow and nurture, makes all things mature and bear fruit, and keeps all things nourished.

"Born without, do without relying on, grow without killing. It is called Xuande. "

He created everything and took it for himself, prospered everything without relying on his own abilities, and nurtured everything without being the master. This is the realm of Tao.
