17 缁衣:
子曰:“民以君为心,君以民为体;心庄则体舒,心肃则容敬。心好之,身必安之;君好之,民必欲之。心以体全,亦以体伤;君以民存,亦以民亡。《》云:‘昔吾有先正,其言明且清,国家以宁,都邑以成,庶民以生;谁能秉国成,不自为正,卒劳百姓。《君雅》曰:‘夏日暑雨,小民惟曰怨;资冬祁寒,小民亦惟曰怨。’
Zi Yi:
The Master said, 'To the people the ruler is as their heart; to the ruler the people are as his body. When the heart is composed, the body is at ease; when the heart is reverent, the body is respectful; when the heart loves anything, the body is sure to rest in it. (So), when the ruler loves anything, the people are sure to desire it. The body is the complement of the heart, and a wound in it makes the heart also suffer. So the ruler is preserved by the people, and perishes also through the people. It is said in an ode, "Once we had that former premier, His words were wise and pure; The states and clans by him were at rest, The chief cities and towns by him were well regulated, All the people by him enjoyed their life. Who (now) holds the ordering of the kingdom? Not himself attending to the government, The issue is toil and pain to the people." It is said in, the Jun-ya (Shu, V, xxv, 5), "In the heat and rain of summer days the inferior people may be described as murmuring and sighing. And so it may be said of them in the great cold of winter."'

1 君牙:
王若曰:“呜呼!君牙,惟乃祖乃父,世笃忠贞,服劳王家,厥有成绩,纪于太常。惟予小子嗣守文、武、成、康遗绪,亦惟先正之臣,克左右乱四方。心之忧危,若蹈虎尾,涉于春冰。今命尔予翼,作股肱心膂,缵乃旧服。无忝祖考,弘敷五典,式和民则。尔身克正,罔敢弗正,民心罔中,惟尔之中。夏暑雨,小民惟曰怨咨:冬祁寒,小民亦惟曰怨咨。厥惟艰哉!思其艰以图其易,民乃宁。呜呼!丕显哉,文王谟!丕承哉,武王烈!启佑我后人,咸以正罔缺。尔惟敬明乃训,用奉若于先王,对扬文、武之光命,追配于前人。”
Kun-ya:
The king spoke to the following effect: 'Oh! Kun-ya, your grandfather and your father, one after the other, with a true loyalty and honesty, laboured in the service of the royal House, accomplishing a merit that was recorded on the grand banner. I, the little child, have become charged by inheritance with the line of government transmitted from Wen and Wu, from Cheng and Kang; I also keep thinking of their ministers who aided them in the good government of the kingdom; the trembling anxiety of my mind makes me feel as if I were treading on a tiger's tail, or walking upon spring ice. I now give you charge to assist me; be as my limbs to me, as my heart and backbone. Continue their old service, and do not disgrace your grandfather and father. Diffuse widely (the knowledge of) the five invariable relations (of society), and reverently seek to produce a harmonious observance of the duties belonging to them among the people. If you are correct in your own person, none will dare to be but correct. The minds of the people cannot attain to the right mean (of duty); they must be guided by your attaining to it. In the heat and rains of summer, the inferior people may be described as murmuring and sighing. And so it is with them in the great cold of winter. How great are their hardships! Think of their hardships in order to seek to promote their ease; and the people will be tranquil. Oh! how great and splendid were the plans of king Wen! How greatly were they carried out by the energy of king Wu! All in principle correct, and deficient in nothing, they are for the help and guidance of us their descendants. Do you with reverence and wisdom carry out your instructions, enabling me to honour and follow the example of my (immediate) predecessors, and to respond to and display the bright decree conferred on Wen and Wu - so shall you be the mate of your by-gone fathers.'

夏暑雨,小民惟曰怨咨,夏月暑雨,天之常道,小民惟怨叹咨嗟,言心无中正也。冬祁寒,小民亦惟曰怨咨,厥惟艰哉。思其艰以图其易,民乃宁。天不可怨,民犹怨嗟,治民其惟艰哉。当思虑其艰以谋其易,民乃安。
