大王亶父居邠，When Dai-wang Dan-fu was dwelling in Bin,
狄人攻之。 the wild tribes of the North attacked him.
事之以皮帛而不受，He tried to serve them with skins and silks, but they were not satisfied.
事之以犬馬而不受，He tried to serve them with dogs and horses, but they were not satisfied,
事之以珠玉而不受，and then with pearls and jade, but they were not satisfied.
狄人之所求者土地也。 What they sought was his territory.
大王亶父曰： Dai-wang Dan-fu said (to his people),
「與人之兄居而殺其弟， 'To dwell with the elder brother and cause the younger brother to be killed,
與人之父居而殺其子， or with the father and cause the son to be killed,
吾不忍也。-- this is what I cannot bear to do.
子皆勉居矣！Make an effort, my children, to remain here.
為吾臣與為狄人臣，奚以異？What difference is there between being my subjects, or the subjects of those wild people?
且吾聞之，And I have heard
不以所用養害所養。」 that a man does not use that which he employs for nourishing his people to injure them.'
因杖筴而去之。 Thereupon he took his staff and switch and left,
民相連而從之， but the people followed him in an unbroken train,
遂成國於岐山之下。 and he established a (new) state at the foot of mount Qi.
夫大王亶父可謂能尊生矣。 Thus Dai-wang Dan-fu might be pronounced one who could give its (due) honour to life.
能尊生者， Those who are able to do so,
雖貴富不以養傷身，though they may be rich and noble, will not, for that which nourishes them, injure their persons;
雖貧賤不以利累形。and though they may be poor and mean, will not, for the sake of gain, involve their bodies (in danger).
今世之人，The men of the present age
居高官尊爵者，who occupy high offices and are of honourable rank
皆重失之， all lose these (advantages) again,
見利輕亡其身， and in the prospect of gain lightly expose their persons to ruin:
豈不惑哉！ is it not a case of delusion?
