王归自克夏，When the king returned from vanquishing Xia
至于亳， and came to Bo,
诞告万方。 he made a grand announcement to the myriad regions.
王曰：The king said,
“嗟！ 'Ah!
尔万方有众， ye multitudes of the myriad regions,
明听予一人诰。listen clearly to the announcement of me, the One man.
惟皇上帝，降衷于下民。 The great God has conferred (even) on the inferior people a moral sense,
若有恒性， compliance with which would show their nature invariably right.
克绥厥猷惟后。 To make them tranquilly pursue the course which it would indicate is the work of the sovereign.
夏王灭德作威，The king of Xia extinguished his virtue, and played the tyrant,
以敷虐于尔万方百姓。 extending his oppression over you,
尔万方百姓， the people of the myriad regions.
罹其凶害， Suffering from his cruel injuries,
弗忍荼毒， and unable to endure the wormwood and poison,
并告无辜于上下神祇。 you protested with one accord your innocence to the spirits of heaven and earth."
天道福善祸淫，The way of Heaven is to bless the good, and make the bad miserable.
降灾于夏， It sent down calamities on (the House of) Xia,
以彰厥罪。 to make manifest its guilt.
肆台小子，Therefore I, the little child,
将天命明威， charged with the decree of Heaven and its bright terrors,
不敢赦。 did not dare to forgive (the criminal).
敢用玄牡， I presumed to use a dark-coloured victim-bull,
敢昭告于上天神后，and, making clear announcement to the Spiritual Sovereign in the high heavens,
请罪有夏。 requested leave to deal with the ruler of Xia as a criminal.
聿求元圣， Then I sought for the great Sage,
与之戮力， with whom I might unite my strength,
以与尔有众请命。to request the favour (of Heaven) for you, my multitudes.
上天孚佑下民， High Heaven truly showed its favour to the inferior people,
罪人黜伏， and the criminal has been degraded and subjected.
天命弗僭， What Heaven appoints is without error;
贲若草木，brilliantly (now), like the blossoming of plants and trees,
兆民允殖。 the millions of the people show a true reviving.
俾予一人辑宁尔邦家，It is given to me, the One man, to secure the harmony and tranquillity of your states and clans
兹朕未知获戾于上下， and now I know not whether I may not offend against (the Powers) above and below.
栗栗危惧， I am fearful and trembling,
若将陨于深渊。 as if I were in danger of falling into a deep abyss.
凡我造邦， Throughout all the regions that enter on a new life under me,
无从匪彝，do not, (ye princes), follow lawless ways;
无即慆淫， make no approach to insolence and dissoluteness;
各守尔典， let every one be careful to keep his statutes
以承天休。- that so we may receive the favour of Heaven.
尔有善，The good in you
朕弗敢蔽； I will not dare to keep concealed;
罪当朕躬，and for the evil in me
弗敢自赦， I will not dare to forgive myself.
惟简在上帝之心。 I will examine these things in harmony with the mind of God.
其尔万方有罪， When guilt is found anywhere in you who occupy the myriad regions,
在予一人；let it rest on me, the One man.
予一人有罪，When guilt is found in me, the One man,
无以尔万方。 it shall not attach to you who occupy the myriad regions.
呜呼！ Oh!
尚克时忱， let us attain to be sincere in these things,
乃亦有终。” and so we shall likewise have a (happy) consummation.'
