4 益稷:
帝曰:
1“无若丹朱傲,惟慢游是好,傲虐是作。罔昼夜頟頟,罔水行舟。朋淫于家,用殄厥世。予创若时,娶于涂山,辛壬癸甲。启呱呱而泣,予弗子,惟荒度土功。弼成五服,至于五千。州十有二师,外薄四海,咸建五长,各迪有功,苗顽弗即工,帝其念哉!”帝曰:“迪朕德,时乃功,惟叙。”皋陶方祗厥叙,方施象刑,惟明。
Yi and Ji:
'Be not haughty like Zhu of Dan, who found his pleasure only in indolence and dissipation, and pursued a proud oppressive course. Day and night without ceasing he was thus. He would make boats go where there was no water. He introduced licentious associates into his family. The consequence was that he brought the prosperity of his house to an end. I took warning from his course. When I married in Tu-shan, (I remained with my wife only the days) xin, ren, gui, and jia. When (my son) Qi was wailing and weeping, I did not regard him, but kept planning with all my might my labour on the land. (Then) I assisted in completing the five Tenures, extending over 5000 li; (in appointing) in the provinces twelve Tutors, and in establishing in the regions beyond, reaching to the four seas, five Presidents. These all pursue the right path, and are meritorious; but there are still (the people of) Miao, who obstinately refuse to render their service. Think of this, O Di.' The Di said, 'That my virtue is followed is the result of your meritorious services so orderly displayed. And now Gao-Yao, entering respectfully into your arrangements, is on every hand displaying the (various) punishments, as represented, with entire intelligence.'
