聖人為政一國，When a sage rules a state
一國可倍也； the benefits of the state will be increased twice.
大之為政天下， When he governs the empire,
天下可倍也。 those of the empire will be doubled.
其倍之非外取地也， This increase is not by appropriating land from without.
因其國家，去其無
用之費1，足以倍之。		 But by cutting out the useless expenditures it is accomplished.
聖王為政，其發令興事，使民用財也，無不加用而為者，In issuing an order, taking up an enterprise, or employing the people and expending wealth, the sage never does anything without some useful purpose.
是故用財不費，Therefore wealth is not wasted
民德不勞， and people's resources are not exhausted,
其興利多矣。 and many are the blessings procured.
其為衣裘何？In making clothing, what is the purpose?
以為冬以圉寒，夏以圉暑。It is to keep out the cold in winter and heat in summer.
凡為衣裳之道，冬加溫，夏加凊者，芊䱉不加者去之。The good of clothing is measured in terms of the amount of warmth it adds in winter and coolness in summer: what is merely decorative and does not contribute to these is to be let alone.
其為宮室何？In building palaces and houses, what is the purpose?
以為冬以圉風寒，It is to keep out the wind and the cold in winter
夏以圉暑雨， and heat and rain in summer,
有盜賊加固者， and to fortify against thieves.
芊䱉不加者去之。 What is merely decorative and contributes nothing to these should be let alone.
其為甲盾五兵何？In forging armour and shields and the five weapons, what is the purpose?
以為以圉寇亂盜賊，It is to prepare against invasion and revolts, bandits and thieves.
若有寇亂盜賊， When these happen,
有甲盾五兵者勝，with armor, shields, and the five weapons one will succeed,
無者不勝。 without them one cannot succeed.
是故聖人作為甲盾五兵。Therefore the sages forged armour, shields, and the five weapons.
凡為甲盾五兵加輕以利，堅而難折者，芊䱉不加者去之。And their good is measured in terms of lightness, sharpness and unbreakability: what is merely decorative and contributes nothing to these should be let alone.
其為舟車何？In building boats and vehicles, what is the purpose?
以為車以行陵陸，舟以行川谷，以通四方之利。A vehicle is to go on land and a boat is to sail rivers and valleys in order to transport the wealth in the four quarters.
凡為舟車之道，加輕以利者，芊䱉不加者去之。The good of boats and vehicles is measured in terms of the amount of facility and convenience they afford: what is merely decorative and contributes nothing to these should be let alone.
凡其為此物也，Now, in making all these things
無
不2加用而為者，		 none is done without its use in view.
是故用財不費，Therefore wealth is not wasted
民德不勞， and people's resources are not exhausted,
其興利多
矣		 and many are the blessings procured.
