賢者之祭也，The sacrifices of such men
必受其福。 have their own blessing;
非世所謂福也。--not indeed what the world calls blessing.
福者，備也； Blessing here means perfection;
備者，百順之名也。-it is the name given to the complete and natural discharge of all duties.
無所不順者， When nothing is left incomplete or improperly discharged;
謂之備。--this is what we call perfection,
言：內盡於己， implying the doing everything that should be done in one's internal self,
而外順於道也。 and externally the performance of everything according to the proper method.
忠臣以事其君，孝子以事其親，其本一也。There is a fundamental agreement between a loyal subject in his service of his ruler and a filial son in his service of his parents.
上則順於鬼神， In the supernal sphere there is a compliance with (what is due to) the repose and expansion of the energies of nature;
外則順於君長，in the external sphere, a compliance with (what is due) to rulers and elders;
內則以孝於親。in the internal sphere, the filial service of parents;
如此之謂備。--all this constitutes what is called perfection.
唯賢者能備， It is only the able and virtuous man who can attain to this perfection;
能備然後能祭。 and can sacrifice when he has attained to it.
是故，賢者之祭也：Hence in the sacrifices of such a man
致其誠信與其忠敬，he brings into exercise all sincerity and good faith, with all right-heartedness and reverence;
奉之以物， he offers the (proper) things;
道之以禮， accompanies them with the (proper) rites;
安之以樂， employs the soothing of music;
參之以時。 does everything suitably to the season.
明薦之而已矣。 Thus intelligently does he offer his sacrifices,
不求其為。 without seeking for anything to be gained by them
此孝子之心也。- such is the heart and mind of a filial son.
