3 伐木:
伐木于阪、釃酒有衍。
籩豆有踐、兄弟無遠。
民之德、乾餱以愆。
有酒湑我、無酒酤我。
坎坎鼓我、蹲蹲舞我。
迨我暇矣、飲此湑矣。
Fa Mu:
They fell down the trees along the hill-side.
I have strained off my spirits in abundance;
The dishes stand in rows,
And none of my brethren are absent.
The loss of kindly feeling among people,
May arise from faults in the matter of dry provisions.
If I have spirits I strain them, do I;
If I have no spirits, I buy them, do I;
I make the drums beat, do I;
I lead on the dance, do I.
Whenever we have leisure,
Let us drink the sparkling spirits.

Che Gong:
Of the four yellow horses of each chariot,
The two outsiders inclined not to either side.
No error in driving was committed,
And the arrows went forth like downright blows.

大禹謨 - Counsels of the Great Yu

English translation: James Legge [?]

5 大禹謨:
益曰:「吁!戒哉!儆戒無虞,罔法度。罔遊于逸,罔淫于樂。任賢勿貳,去邪勿疑。疑謀勿成,百志惟熙。罔違道以干百姓之譽,罔咈百姓以從己之欲。無怠無荒,四夷來王。」
Counsels of the Great...:
Yi said, 'Alas! be cautious! Admonish yourself to caution, when there seems to be no occasion for anxiety. Do not fail to observe the laws and ordinances. Do not find your enjoyment in idleness. Do not go to excess in pleasure. In your employment of men of worth, let none come between you and them. Put away evil without hesitation. Do not carry out plans, of (the wisdom of) which you have doubts. Study that all your purposes may be with the light of reason. Do not go against what is right, to get the praise of the people. Do not oppose the people's (wishes), to follow your own desires. (Attend to these things) without idleness or omission, and the barbarous tribes all around will come and acknowledge your sovereignty.'

11 大禹謨:
皋陶曰:「帝德罔愆,臨下以簡,御眾以寬;罰弗及嗣,賞延于世。宥過無大,刑故無小;罪疑惟輕,功疑惟重;與其殺不辜,寧不經;好生之德,洽于民心,茲用不犯于有司。」
Counsels of the Great...:
Gao-Yao replied, 'Your virtue, O Di, is faultless. You condescend to your ministers with a kindly ease; you preside over the multitudes with a generous forbearance. Punishments do not extend to (the criminal's) heirs, while rewards reach to (succeeding) generations. You pardon inadvertent faults, however great, and punish purposed crimes, however small. In cases of doubtful crimes, you deal with them lightly; in cases of doubtful merit, you prefer the high estimation. Rather than put an innocent person to death, you will run the risk of irregularity and error. This life-loving virtue has penetrated the minds of the people, and this is why they do not render themselves liable to be punished by your officers.'

五子之歌:
太康邦,昆弟五人須于洛汭,作《五子之歌》。

2 五子之歌:
其一曰:「皇祖有訓,民可近,不可下,民惟邦本,本固邦寧。予視天下愚夫愚婦一能勝予,一人三,怨豈在明,不見是圖。予臨兆民,懍乎若朽索之馭六馬,為人上者,柰何不敬?」
Songs of the Five...:
The first said,
'It was the lesson of our great ancestor:
The people should be cherished,
And not looked down upon.
The people are the root of a country;
The root firm, the country is tranquil.
When I look at all under heaven,
Of the simple men and simple women,
Any one may surpass me.
If the One man err repeatedly,
Should dissatisfaction be waited for till it appears?
Before it is seen, it should be guarded against.
In my dealing with the millions of the people,
I should feel as much anxiety as if I were driving six horses with rotten reins.
The ruler of men -
How should he be but reverent (of his duties)?'

4 五子之歌:
其三曰:「惟彼陶唐,有此冀方。今厥道,亂其紀綱,乃厎滅亡。」
Songs of the Five...:
The third said,
'There was the lord of Tao and Tang
Who possessed this region of Ji.
Now we have fallen from his ways,
And thrown into confusion his rules and laws;
The consequence is extinction and ruin.'

盤庚中 - Pan Geng II

English translation: James Legge [?] Library Resources
8 盤庚中:
盤庚作,惟涉河以民遷。乃話民之弗率,誕告用亶。其有眾咸造,勿褻在王庭,盤庚乃登進厥民。曰:「明聽朕言,無荒朕命!嗚呼!古我前后,罔不惟民之承保。后胥戚鮮,以不浮于天時。殷降大虐,先王不懷厥攸作,視民利用遷。汝曷弗念我古后之聞?承汝俾汝惟喜康共,非汝有咎比于罰。予若籲懷茲新邑,亦惟汝故,以丕從厥志。
Pan Geng II:
Pan-geng arose, and (was about to) cross the He with the people, moving (to the new capital). Accordingly, he addressed himself to those of them who were (still) dissatisfied, and made a full announcement to their multitudes, to induce a sincere acquiescence (in the measure). 'They all attended, and (being charged) to take no liberties in the royal courtyard, he called them near, and said, 'Listen clearly to my words, and do not disregard my commands. Oh! of old time my royal predecessors cherished, every one and above every other thing, a respectful care of the people, who (again) upheld their sovereign with a mutual sympathy. Seldom was it that they were not superior to any (calamitous) time sent by Heaven. When great calamities came down on Yin, the former kings did not fondly remain in their place. What they did was with a view to the people's advantage, and therefore they moved (their capitals). Why do you not reflect that I, according to what I have heard of the ancient sovereigns, in my care of you and actings towards you, am only wishing to rejoice with you in a common repose? It is not that any guilt attaches to you, so that (this movement) should be like a punishment. If I call upon you to cherish this new city, it is simply in your account, and as an act of great accordance with your wishes.

10 盤庚中:
予念我先神后之勞爾先,予丕克羞爾,用懷爾,然。于政,陳于茲,高后丕乃崇降罪疾,曰『曷虐朕民?』汝萬民乃不生生,暨予一人猷同心,先后丕降與汝罪疾,曰:『曷不暨朕幼孫有比?』故有爽德,自上其罰汝,汝罔能迪。
Pan Geng II:
'I think of my ancestors, (who are now) the spiritual sovereigns; when they made your forefathers toil (on similar occasions it was only for their good), and I would be enabled in the same way greatly to nourish you and cherish you. Were I to err in my government, and remain long here, my high sovereign, (the founder of our dynasty), would send down on me great punishment for my crime, and say, "Why do you oppress my people?" If you, the myriads of the people, do not attend to the perpetuation of your lives, and cherish one mind with me, the One man, in my plans, the former kings will send down on you great punishment for your crime, and say, "Why do you not agree with our young grandson, but go on to forfeit your virtue?" When they punish you from above, you will have no way of escape.

泰誓上 - Great Declaration I

Books referencing 《泰誓上》 Library Resources
1 泰誓上:
惟十有三年春,大會于孟津。王曰:「嗟!我友邦塚君越我御事庶士,明聽誓。
Great Declaration I:
In the spring of the thirteenth year there was a great assembly at Meng-jin. The king said, 'Ah! ye hereditary rulers of my friendly states, and all ye my officers, managers of my affairs, hearken clearly to my declaration.
惟天地萬物父母,惟人萬物之靈。但聰明,作元后,元后作民父母。今商王受,弗敬上天,降災下民。沈湎冒色,敢行暴虐,罪人以族,官人以世,惟宮室、台榭、陂池、侈服,以殘害于爾萬姓。焚炙忠良,刳剔孕婦。皇天震怒,命我文考,肅將天威,大勳未集。
'Heaven and earth is the parent of all creatures; and of all creatures man is the most highly endowed. The sincerely intelligent (among men) becomes the great sovereign; and the great sovereign is the parent of the people. But now, Shou, the king of Shang, does not reverence Heaven above, and inflicts calamities on the people below. Abandoned to drunkenness and reckless in lust, he has dared to exercise cruel oppression. He has extended the punishment of offenders to all their relatives. He has put men into offices on the hereditary principle. He has made it his pursuit to have palaces, towers, pavilions, embankments, ponds, and all other extravagances, to the most painful injury of you, the myriads of the people. He has burned and roasted the loyal and good. He has ripped up pregnant women. Great Heaven was moved with indignation, and charged my deceased father Wen to display its terrors; but (he died) before the work was completed.
肆予小子發,以爾友邦塚君,觀政于商。惟受罔有悛心,乃夷居,弗事上帝神祇,遺厥先宗廟弗祀。犧牲粢盛,既于凶盜。乃曰:『吾有民有命!』罔懲其侮。
'On this account, I, Fa, the little child, have by means of you, the hereditary rulers of my friendly states, contemplated the government of Shang; but Shou has no repentant heart. He sits squatting on his heels, not serving God nor the spirits of heaven and earth, neglecting also the temple of his ancestors, and not sacrificing in it. The victims and the vessels of millet all become the prey of wicked robbers, and still he says, "The people are mine; the (heavenly) appointment is mine," never trying to correct his contemptuous mind.
天佑下民,作之君,作之師,惟其克相上帝,寵綏四方。有罪無罪,予曷敢有越厥志?
'Heaven, for the help of the inferior people, made for them rulers, and made for them instructors, that they might be able to be aiding to God, and secure the tranquillity of the four quarters (of the kingdom). In regard to who are criminals and who are not, how dare I give any allowance to my own wishes?
同力,度德;同德,度義。受有臣億萬,惟億萬心;予有臣三千,惟一心。商罪貫盈,天命誅之。予弗順天,厥罪惟鈞。
'"Where the strength is the same, measure the virtue of the parties; where the virtue is the same, measure their righteousness." Shou has hundreds of thousands and myriads of officers, but they have hundreds of thousands and myriads of minds; I have (but) three thousand officers, but they have one mind. The iniquity of Shang is full. Heaven gives command to destroy it. If I did not obey Heaven, my iniquity would be as great.
予小子夙夜祗懼,受命文考,類于上帝,宜于塚土,以爾有眾,厎天之罰。天矜于民,民之所欲,天必從之。爾尚弼予一人,永清四海,時哉弗可!」
'I, the little child, early and late am filled with apprehensions. I have received the command of my deceased father Wen; I have offered special sacrifice to God; I have performed the due services to the great earth; and I lead the multitude of you to execute the punishment appointed by Heaven. Heaven compassionates the people. What the people desire, Heaven will be found to give effect to. Do you aid me, the One man, to cleanse for ever (all within) the four seas. Now is the time! It should not be lost.'
