1 荡:
荡荡上帝、下民之辟。
疾威上帝、其命多辟。
天生烝民、其命匪谌。
靡不有初、鲜克有终。
Dang:
How vast is God,
The ruler of men below!
How arrayed in terrors is God,
With many things irregular in His ordinations!
Heaven gave birth to the multitudes of the people,
But the nature it confers is not to be depended on.
All are [good] at first,
But few prove themselves to be so at the last.

2 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
曾是强御、曾是掊克。
曾是在位、曾是在服。
天降慆德、女兴是力。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
That you should have such violently oppressive ministers,
That you should have such extortionate exactors,
That you should have them in offices,
That you should have them in the conduct of affairs!
Heaven made them with their insolent dispositions,
But it is you who employ them, and give them strength.'

3 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
而秉义类、强御多怼。
流言以对、寇攘式内。
侯作侯祝、靡届靡究 。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
You ought to employ such as are good,
But [you employ instead] violent oppressors, who cause many dissatisfactions.
They respond to you with baseless stories,
And [thus] robbers and thieves are in your court.
Thence come oaths and curses,
Without limit, without end. '

4 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
女炰烋于中国、敛怨以为德。
不明尔德、时无背无侧。
尔德不明、以无陪无卿。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
You show a strong fierce will in the centre of the kingdom,
And consider the contracting of enmities a proof of virtue.
All unintelligent are you of your [proper] virtue,
And so you have no [good] men behind you, nor by your side.
Without any intelligence of your [proper] virtue,
You have no [good] intimate adviser nor minister. '

5 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
天不湎尔以酒、不义从式。
既愆尔止、靡明靡晦。
式号式呼、俾昼作夜。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
It is not Heaven that flushes your face with spirits,
So that you follow what is evil and imitate it.
You go wrong in all your conduct;
You make no distinction between the light and the darkness;
But amid clamour and shouting,
You turn the day into night. '

6 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
如蜩如螗、如沸如羹。
小大近丧、人尚乎由行。
内奰于中国、覃及鬼方。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
[All around you] is like the noise of cicadas,
Or like the bubbling of boiling soup.
Affairs, great and small, are approaching to ruin;
And still you [and your creatures] go on in this course.
Indignation is rife against you here in the Middle kingdom,
And extends to the demon regions. '

7 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
匪上帝不时、殷不用旧。
虽无老成人、尚有典刑。
曾是莫听、大命以倾。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
It is not God that has caused this evil time,
But it arises from Yin's not using the old [ways].
Although you have not old experienced men,
There are still the ancient statutes and laws.
But you will not listen to them,
And so your great appointment is being overthrown. '

8 荡:
文王曰咨、咨女殷商。
人亦有言、颠沛之揭。
枝叶未有害、本实先拨。
殷鉴不远、在夏后之世。
Dang:
King Wen said, 'Alas!
Alas! you [sovereign of] Yin-shang,
People have a saying,
'When a tree falls utterly,
While its branches and leaves are yet uninjured,
It must first have been uprooted. '
The beacon of Yin is not far-distant; -
It is in the age of the [last] sovereign of Xia. '

1 抑:
抑抑威仪、维德之隅。
人亦有言、靡哲不愚。
庶人之愚、亦职维疾。
哲人之愚、亦维斯戾。
Yi:
An outward demeanour, cautious and grave,
Is an indication of the [inward] virtue.
People have the saying,
'There is no wise man who is not [also] stupid. '
The stupidity of the ordinary man,
Is determined by his [natural] defects.
The stupidity of the wise man,
Is from his doing violence [to his natural character].

2 抑:
无竞维人、四方其训之。
有觉德行、四国顺之。
吁谟定命、远犹辰告。
敬慎威仪、维民之则。
Yi:
What is most powerful is the being the man; -
In all quarters [of the State] men are influenced by it.
To an upright virtuous conduct,
All in the four quarters of the State render obedient homage.
With great counsels and determinate orders,
With far-reaching plans and timely announcements,
And with reverent care of his outward demeanour,
One will become the pattern of the people.

3 抑:
其在于今、兴迷乱于政。
颠覆厥德、荒湛于酒。
女虽湛乐从、弗念厥绍。
罔敷求先王、克共明刑。
Yi:
As for the circumstances of the present time,
You are bent on error and confusion in your government.
Your virtue is subverted;
You are besotted by drink.
Although you thus pursue nothing but pleasure,
How is it you do not think of your relation to the past,
And do not widely study the former kings,
That you might hold fast their wise laws?

4 抑:
肆皇天弗尚、如彼泉流、无沦胥以亡。
夙兴夜寐、洒扫廷内、维民之章。
修尔车马、弓矢戎兵。
用戒戎作、用逷蛮方。
Yi:
Shall not those whom great Heaven does not approve of,
Surely as the waters flow from a spring,
Sink down together to ruin?
Rise early and go to bed late,
Sprinkle and sweep your court-yard; -
So as to be a pattern to the people.
Have in good order your chariots and horses,
Your bows and arrows, and [other] weapons of war; -
To be prepared for warlike action,
To keep at a distance [the hordes of] the South.

5 抑:
质尔人民、谨尔侯度、用戒不虞。
慎尔出话、敬尔威仪、无不柔嘉。
白圭之玷、尚可磨也。
斯言之玷、不可为也。
Yi:
Perfect what concerns your officers and people;
Be careful of your duties as a prince [of the kingdom]; -
To be prepared for unforeseen dangers.
Be cautious of what you say;
Be reverently careful of your outward demeanour;
In all things be mild and correct.
A flaw in a mace of white jade,
May be ground away,
But for a flaw in speech,
Nothing can be done.

6 抑:
无易由言、无曰苟矣。
莫扪朕舌、言不可逝矣。
无言不雠、无德不报。
惠于朋友、庶民小子、子孙绳绳、万民靡不承。
Yi:
Do not speak lightly; - your words are your own:
Do not say, ' This is of little importance. '
No one can hold my tongue for me;
Words are not to be cast away.
Every word finds its answer;
Every good deed has its recompense.
If you are gracious among your friends,
And to the people, as if they were your children,
Your descendants will continue in unbroken line,
And all the people will surely be obedient to you.

7 抑:
视尔友君子、辑柔尔颜、不遐有愆。
相在尔室、尚不愧于屋漏。
无曰不显、莫予云觏。
神之格思、不可度思、矧可射思。
Yi:
Looked at in friendly intercourse with superior men,
You make your countenance harmonious and mild; -
Anxious not to do anything wrong.
Looked at in your chamber,
You ought to be equally free from shame before the light which shines in.
Do not say, ' This place is not public;
No one can see me here. '
The approaches of spiritual Beings,
Cannot be calculated [beforehand];
But the more should they not be slighted.

8 抑:
辟尔为德、俾臧俾嘉。
淑慎尔止、不愆于仪。
不僭不贼、鲜不为则。
投我以桃、报之以李。
彼童而角、实虹小子。
Yi:
O prince, let your practice of virtue,
Be entirely good and admirable.
Watch well over your behaviour,
And allow nothing wrong in your demeanour.
Committing no excess, doing nothing injurious; -
There are few who will not in such a case take you for their pattern.
When one throws to me a peach,
I return to him a plum.
To look for horns on a young ram,
Will only weary you, my son.

9 抑:
荏染柔木、言缗之丝。
温温恭人、维德之基。
其维哲人、告之话言、顺德之行。
其维愚人、覆谓我僭。
民各有心。
Yi:
The soft and elastic wood,
Can be fitted with the silken string.
The mild and the respectful man,
Possesses the foundation of virtue.
There is a wise man; -
I tell him [good] words,
And he yields to them the practice of docile virtue.
There is a stupid man; -
He says on the contrary that my words are not true:
So different are people's minds.

10 抑:
于乎小子、未知藏否。
匪手携之、言示之事。
匪面命之、言提其耳。
借曰未知、亦既抱子。
民之靡盈、谁夙知而莫成。
Yi:
Oh! my son,
When you did not know what was good, and what was not good,
Not [only] did I lead you on by the hand,
But I showed the difference by appealing to affairs.
Not [only] did I charge you face to face,
But I held you by the ears.
And still perhaps you do not know,
Although you have held a son in your arms.
If people are not self-sufficient,
Who comes [only] to a late maturity after early instruction?

11 抑:
昊天孔昭、我生靡乐。
视尔梦梦、我心惨惨。
诲尔谆谆、听我藐藐。
匪用为教、覆用为虐。
借曰未知、亦聿既耄。
Yi:
Great Heaven is very intelligent,
And I pass my life without pleasure.
When I see you so dark and stupid,
My heart is full of pain.
I taught you with assiduous repetition,
And you listened to me with contempt.
You would not consider me your teacher,
But regarded me as troublesome.
Still perhaps you do not know; -
But you are very old.

12 抑:
于乎小子、告尔旧子。
听用我谋、庶无大悔。
天方艰难、曰丧厥国。
取譬不远、昊天不忒。
回遹其德、俾民大棘。
Yi:
Oh! my son,
I have told you the old ways.
Hear and follow my counsels; -
Then shall you have no cause for great regret.
Heaven is now inflicting calamities,
And is destroying the State.
My illustrations are not taken from things remote; -
Great Heaven makes no mistakes.
If you go on to deteriorate in your virtue,
You will bring the people to great distress.

1 桑柔:
菀彼桑柔、其下侯旬。
捋采其刘、瘼此下民。
不殄心忧、仓兄填兮。
倬彼昊天、宁不我矜。
Sang Rou:
Luxuriant is that young mulberry tree,
And beneath it wide is the shade;
But they will pluck its leaves till it is quite destroyed.
The distress inflicted on these [multitudes of the ] people,
Is an unceasing sorrow to my heart; -
My commiseration fills [my breast].
O thou bright and great Heaven,
Shouldest thou not have compassion on us?

2 桑柔:
四牡騤騤、旟旐有翩。
乱生不夷、靡国不泯。
民靡有黎、具祸以烬。
于乎有哀、国步斯频。
Sang Rou:
The four steeds [gallop about], eager and strong;
The tortoise-and-serpent and the falcon banners fly about.
Disorder grows, and no peace can be secured.
Every State is being ruined;
There are no black heads among the people;
All are reduced to ashes, [as it were], by calamity.
Oh! alas!
The doom of the kingdom hurries on.

3 桑柔:
国步蔑资、天不我将。
靡所止疑、云徂何往。
君子实维、秉心无竞。
谁生厉阶、至今为梗。
Sang Rou:
There is nothing to arrest the doom of the kingdom;
Heaven does not nourish us.
There is no place in which to stop securely;
There is no place to which to go.
Superior men are the bonds [of the social state],
Allowing no love of strife in their hearts.
Who reared the steps of the dissatisfaction,
Which has reached the present distress?

4 桑柔:
忧心殷殷、念我土宇。
我生不辰、逢天僤怒。
自西徂东、靡所定处。
多我觏痻、孔棘我圉。
Sang Rou:
The grief of my heart is extreme,
And I dwell on [the condition of] our territory.
I was born at an unhappy time,
To meet with the severe anger of Heaven.
From the west to the east,
There is no quiet place of abiding.
Many are the distresses I meet with;
Very urgent is the trouble on our borders.

5 桑柔:
为谋为毖、乱况斯削。
告尔忧恤、诲尔序爵。
谁能执热、逝不以濯。
其何能淑、载胥及溺。
Sang Rou:
You have your counsels; you employ caution;
But the disorder grows and dismemberments ensue.
I tell you the subjects for anxiety;
I instruct you how to distinguish the orders of men.
Who can hold anything hot?
Must he not dip it [first] in water?
How can you [by your method] bring a good state of things about?
You [and your advisers] will sink together in ruin.

6 桑柔:
如彼遡风、亦孔之僾。
民有肃心、荓云不逮。
好是稼穑、力民代食。
稼穑维宝、代食维好。
Sang Rou:
[The state of things] is like going in the teeth of the wind,
Which makes one quite breathless.
Some have a mind to go forward,
But they are made to think it is of no use to do so.
They attach themselves to husbandry,
And labour like the people instead of eating [the bread of office].
Their sowing and reaping are precious to them;
They love this substitute for [official] emolument.

7 桑柔:
天降丧乱、灭我立王。
降此蟊贼、稼穑卒痒。
哀恫中国、具赘卒荒。
靡有旅力、以念穹苍。
Sang Rou:
Heaven is sending down death and disorder,
And has put an end to our king.
It is sending down those devourers of the grain,
So that the husbandry is all in evil case.
All is in peril and going to ruin;
I have no strength [to do anything],
And think of [the Power in] the azure vault.

8 桑柔:
维此惠君、民人所瞻。
秉心宣犹、考慎其相。
维彼不顺、自独俾臧。
自有肺肠、俾民卒狂。
Sang Rou:
Here is a good and righteous ruler,
Who is looked up to by the people and by all; -
He keeps his heart, and his plans are formed on mature deliberation,
Searching carefully for helpers.
There is one who has no such character,
But reckons only his own views to be good; -
He holds only to his own thoughts,
And causes the people to be distracted.

9 桑柔:
瞻彼中林、甡甡其鹿。
朋友已谮、不胥以谷。
人亦有言、进退维谷。
Sang Rou:
Look into the middle of that forest,
At the herds of deer roaming together.
[But here] friends are insincere,
And do not help one another in what is good.
People have the saying,
'To go forwards or backwards is alike impracticable. '

10 桑柔:
维此圣人、瞻言百里。
维彼愚人、覆狂以喜。
匪言不能、胡斯畏忌。
Sang Rou:
Here is a wise man; -
His views and words reach to a hundred li,
There is a stupid man; -
He on the contrary rejoices in his madness.
It is not that I could not speak [all this]; -
How is it I was withheld by my fear?

11 桑柔:
维此良人、弗求弗迪。
维彼忍心、是顾是复。
民之贪乱、宁为荼毒。
Sang Rou:
Here is a good man,
But he is not sought out nor employed.
There is a hard-hearted man,
And he is thought of and promoted once and again.
The people [in consequence] desire disorder,
And find emjoyment in bitter, poisonous ways.

12 桑柔:
大风有隧、有空大谷。
维此良人、作为式谷。
维彼不顺、征以中垢。
Sang Rou:
Great winds have a path; -
They come from the large empty valleys.
Here is a good man,
Whose doings will be good.
There is a man unobservant of the right,
Whose goings will be according to his inward filthiness.

13 桑柔:
大风有隧、贪人败类。
听言则对、诵言如醉。
匪用其良、覆俾我悖。
Sang Rou:
Great winds have a path; -
The covetous men try to subvert their peers.
I would speak, if he would hear my words,
But I can [only] croon them over as if I were drunk.
He will not employ the good,
And on the contrary causes me [such] distress.

14 桑柔:
嗟尔朋友、予岂不知而作。
如彼飞虫、时亦弋获。
既之阴女、反予来赫。
Sang Rou:
Ah! my friends,
Is it in ignorance that I make [this ode]?
[But it may happen] as in the case of a bird on the wing,
Which sometimes is hit and caught.
I go to do you good,
But you become the more incensed against me.

15 桑柔:
民之罔极、职凉善背。
为民不利、如云不克。
民之回遹、职竞用力。
Sang Rou:
The unlimited disorder of the people,
Is owing to those hypocrites, skilful to prevaricate.
They work out the injury of the people,
As if their efforts were not equal to it.
The depravity of the people,
Is brought about by their strenuous endeavours.

16 桑柔:
民之未戾、职盗为寇。
凉曰不可、覆背善詈。
虽曰匪予、既作尔歌。
Sang Rou:
That the people are unsettled,
Is owing to the robbers that prey on them.
Hypocritical, they say ' These men will not do; '
But when their backs are turned, they show their skill in reviling [the good].
Although you say, ' We did not do this, '
I have made this song about you.

靡神不举、靡爱斯牲。

Yun Han:
Bright was that milky way,
Shining and revolving in the sky.
The king said, 'Oh!
What crime is chargeable on us now,
That Heaven [thus] sends down death and disorder?
Famine comes again and again.
There is no victim I have grudged;
Our maces and other tokens are exhausted:
How is it that I am not heard?

Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive;
Its fervours become more and more tormenting.
I have not ceased offering pure sacrifices;
From the border altars I have gone to the ancestral temple.
To the [Powers] above and below I have presented my offerings and then buried them:
There is no Spirit whom I have not honoured.
Hou-ji is not equal to the occasion;
God does not come to us.
This wasting and ruin of our country, -
Would that it fell [only] on me!

旱既大甚、则不可推。
兢兢业业、如霆如雷。
周馀黎民、靡有孑遗。
昊天上帝、则不我遗。
胡不相畏、先祖于摧。
Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive;
And I may not try to excuse myself.
I am full of terror and feel the peril,
Like the clap of thunder or the roll.
Of the remnant of Zhou, among the black-haired people,
There will not be half a man left;
Nor will God from His great heaven,
Exempt [even] me.
Shall we not mingle our fears together?
[The sacrifices to] my ancestors will be extinguished.

Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive;
And it cannot be stopped.
More fierce and fiery,
It is leaving me no place.
My end is near; -
I have none to look up to, none to look around to.
The many dukes and their ministers of the past,
Give me no help.
O ye parents and [nearer] ancestors,
How can ye bear to see us thus?

5 云汉:
旱既大甚、涤涤山川。

'The drought is excessive; -
Parched are the hills, and the streams are dried.
The demon of drought exercises his oppression.
As if scattering flames and fire.
My heart is terrified with the heat; -
My sorrowing heart is as if on fire.
The many dukes and their ministers of the past,
Do not hear me,
O God, from Thy great heaven,
Grant me the liberty to withdraw [into retirement]!

旱既大甚、黾勉畏去。
胡宁癫我以旱、憯不知其故。

敬恭明神、宜无悔怒。
Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive; -
I struggle, and fear to go away.
How is it I am afflicted with this drought?
I cannot ascertain the cause of it.
In praying for a good year I was abundantly early;
I was not late [in sacrificing] to [the Spirits] of the four quarters and of the land.
God in the great heaven,
Does not consider me.
Reverent to the intelligent Spirits,
I ought not to be thus the object of their anger.

鞫哉庶正、疚哉冢宰。
趣马师氏、膳夫左右。
靡人不周、无不能正。

Yun Han:
'The drought is excessive; -
All is dispersion, and the bonds of government are relaxed.
Reduced to extremities are the Heads of departments;
Full of distress are my chief minister,
The master of the horse, the commander of the guards,
The chief cook, and my attendants.
There is no one who has not [tried to] help [the people];
They have not refrained on the ground of being unable.
I look up to the great heaven; -
Why am I plunged in this sorrow?

When shall I be favoured with repose?
