古之聖人，The ancient sages
內之為尊， (thus) gave honour to what was internal,
外之為樂， and sought pleasure in what was external;
少之為貴， found a mark of distinction in paucity,
多之為美。 and one of what was admirable in multitude;
是故先生之制禮也，and therefore in the ceremonial usages instituted by the ancient kings
不可多也，不可寡也， we should look neither for multitude nor for paucity,
唯其稱也。 but for the due relative proportion.
是故， Therefore,
君子大牢而祭， when a man of rank uses a large victim in sacrifice,
謂之禮； we say he acts according to propriety,
匹士大牢而祭， but when an ordinary officer does so,
謂之攘。 we say be commits an act of usurpation.
管仲鏤簋朱紘，Guan Zhong had his sacrificial dishes of grain carved, and red bands to his cap;
山節藻梲，fashioned hills on the capitals of his pillars, and pondweed on the small pillars above the beams
君子以為濫矣。 - the superior man considered it wild extravagance.
晏平仲祀其先人，Yan Ping-zhong, in sacrificing to his father,
豚肩不揜豆； used a sucking-pig which did not fill the dish,
浣衣濯冠以朝， and went to court in an (old) washed robe and cap
君子以為隘矣。- the superior man considered it was niggardliness.
是故君子之行禮也，不可不慎也； Therefore the superior man thinks it necessary to use the utmost care in his practice of ceremonies.
眾之紀也， They are the bond that holds the multitudes together;
紀散而眾亂。and if the bond be removed, those multitude's fall into confusion.
孔子曰：「我戰則克，祭則受福。」Confucius said, 'If I fight, I overcome; when I sacrifice, I receive blessing.'
蓋得其道矣。He said so, because he had the right way (of doing everything).
