Philip J. Ivanhoe's translation is very good, and it looks like there are some good translations online. However, I would warn you that although the language is simple, it isn't easy to understand the book without some context. It's worth studying, because even though the book is ancient it
has interesting ideas about how to live a natural life in a civilized society.
I recommend Religious and Philosophical Aspects of the Laozi for some context on who wrote the Laozi and why.
Ooh, and I just found a cool site that includes several translations, a good way to get various opinions on the text.
