子墨子言曰：Mozi said:
「今王公大人之君人民，主社稷，治國家，Now, in caring for the people, ruling the state, and governing the country,
欲脩保而勿失， the rulers desire permanency and stability.
故不察尚賢為政之本也。 But why do they not learn that exaltation of the virtuous is the foundation of government?
何以知尚賢之為政本也？How do we know exaltation of the virtuous is the foundation of government?
曰自貴且智者，為政乎愚且賤者，則治；When the honourable and wise run the government, the ignorant and humble remain orderly;
自愚且賤者，為政乎貴且智者，則亂。but when the ignorant and humble run the government, the honourable and wise become rebellious.
是以知尚賢之為政本也。Therefore we know exaltation of the virtuous is the foundation of government.
故古者聖王甚尊尚賢而任使能， The ancient sage-kings greatly emphasized the exaltation of the virtuous and the employment of the capable.
不黨父兄， Without special consideration for relatives,
不偏貴富， for the rich and honoured,
不嬖顏色， or for the good-looking,
賢者舉而上之， they exalted and promoted the virtuous,
富而貴之， enriched and honoured them,
以為官長； and made them governors and leaders.
不肖者抑而廢之， The vicious they kept back and banished,
貧而賤之以為徒役，depossessed and degraded, and made labourers and servants.
是以民皆勸其賞，Thereupon people were all encouraged by rewards
畏其罰，and threatened by punishments
相率而為賢。 and strove with each other after virtue.
者以賢者眾，Thus the virtuous multiplied
而不肖者寡， and the vicious diminished in number.
此謂進賢。 Such is exaltation of the virtuous.
然後聖人聽其言，Then the sage-kings watched their words
跡其行， and observed their conduct,
察其所能，found out their capabilities
而慎予官， and carefully assigned them their offices.
此謂事能。 Such is employment of the capable.
故可使治國者，Accordingly those who were capable to govern the country
使治國， were made to govern the country,
可使長官者，those who were capable to administer the court
使長官， were made to administer the court,
可使治邑者，and those who were capable in managing the districts
使治邑。 were made to manage the districts.
凡所使治國家， All those who had charge of the country,
官府， the court,
邑里，and the districts
此皆國之賢者也。 were then the virtuous of the land.
