經典文獻 -> 尚書 -> 周書 -> 君奭 -> 1

周公若曰：The duke of Zhou spoke to the following effect:
「君奭！ 'Prince Shi,
弗弔天降喪于殷，Heaven, unpitying, sent down ruin on Yin.
殷既墜厥命， Yin has lost its appointment (to the throne),
我有周既受。 which our House of Zhou has received.
我不敢知曰厥基永孚于休。I do not dare, however, to say, as if I knew it, "The foundation will ever truly abide in prosperity.
若天棐忱， If Heaven aid sincerity,"
我亦不敢知曰其終出于不祥。Nor do I dare to say, as if I knew it, "The end will issue in our misfortunes."
嗚呼！ Oh!
君已曰時我，you have said, O prince, "It depends on ourselves."
我亦不敢寧于上帝命， I also do not dare to rest in the favour of God,
弗永遠念天威越我民； not forecasting at a distance the terrors of Heaven in the present time,
罔尤違， when there is no murmuring or disobedience among the people;
惟人。 (the issue) is with men.
在我後嗣子孫，Should our present successor to his fathers
大弗克恭上下， prove greatly unable to reverence (Heaven) above and (the people) below,
遏佚前人光在家，不知天命不易，and so bring to an end the glory of his predecessors, could we in (the retirement of) our families be ignorant of it? The favour of Heaven is not easily preserved;
天難諶， Heaven is difficult to be depended on.
乃其墜命， Men lose its favouring appointment,
弗克經歷。嗣前人，恭明德， because they cannot pursue and carry out the reverence and brilliant virtue of their forefathers.
在今予小子旦非克有正，Now I, Dan, the little child, am not able to make (the king) correct.
迪惟前人光施于我沖子。」I would simply conduct him to the glory of his fathers, and make him, who is my young charge, partaker of that.'
又曰： He also said,
「天不可信， 'Heaven is not to be trusted.
我道惟寧王德延， Our course is only to seek the prolongation of the virtue of the Tranquillizing king,
天不庸釋于文王受命。」 that Heaven may not find occasion to remove its favouring decree which king Wen received.'
