故曰：以其极赏，以赐无功，(The present rulers) squander great amounts of wealth to reward the undeserving,
虚其府库，empty the treasury
以备车马、衣裘、奇怪，苦其役徒，以治宫室观乐；to acquire carriages and horses, exhaust the labourers to build palaces and furnish amusements.
死又厚为棺椁，Upon their death, again, thick coffins
多为衣裘。 and many coats and fur coats are to be furnished.
生时治台榭， Porches and pavilions are built for them while they are living.
死又修坟墓。 and tombs when they are dead.
故民苦于外，By this the people are embittered
府库单于内， and the treasury is left lean.
上不厌其乐， While the amusements are not yet satisfying to the superiors,
下不堪其苦。 the hardship already becomes unbearable for the subjects.
故国离寇敌则伤，Such a state will fall under any attack
民见凶饥则亡， and such people will perish by famine.
此皆备不具之罪也。 And all this is due to the absence of preparation.
且夫食者，Moreover, food
圣人之所宝也。 is what the sages treasured.
故《周书》曰： The history of Zhou says,
“国无三年之食者，"Without three years' food (in store)
国非其国也； a state cannot be a state (as it is in danger of losing its sovereignty).
家无三年之食者，A family being without food in store to be sufficient for three years
子非其子也。” its children cannot be its children (who are in danger of being abandoned or sold to others)."
此之谓国备。Such, then, is the preparation of a country.
