所謂治國必先齊其家者，其家不可教而能教人者，無之。What is meant by "In order rightly to govern the state, it is necessary first to regulate the family," is this: It is not possible for one to teach others, while he cannot teach his own family.
故君子不出家而成教於國：Therefore, the ruler, without going beyond his family, completes the lessons for the state.
孝者， There is filial piety
所以事君也；- therewith the sovereign should be served.
弟者， There is fraternal submission
所以事長也；- therewith elders and superiors should be served.
慈者， There is kindness
所以使眾也。- therewith the multitude should be treated.
《康誥》曰：In the Announcement to Kang, it is said,
「如保赤子」， "Act as if you were watching over an infant."
心誠求之， If a mother is really anxious about it,
雖不中不遠矣。though she may not hit exactly the wants of her infant, she will not be far from doing so.
未有學養子而後嫁者也！There never has been a girl who learned to bring up a child, that she might afterwards marry.
一家仁，一國興仁； From the loving example of one family a whole state becomes loving,
一家讓，一國興讓； and from its courtesies the whole state becomes courteous while,
一人貪戾， from the ambition and perverseness of the One man,
一國作亂。 the whole state may be led to rebellious disorder;
其機如此。-such is the nature of the influence.
此謂一言僨事，This verifies the saying, "Affairs may be ruined by a single sentence;
一人定國。 a kingdom may be settled by its One man."
堯、舜率天下以仁，Yao and Shun led on the kingdom with benevolence
而民從之； and the people followed them.
桀、紂率天下以暴， Chieh and Chau led on the kingdom with violence,
而民從之。 and people followed them.
其所令反其所好，而民不從。The orders which these issued were contrary to the practices which they loved, and so the people did not follow them.
是故君子有諸己而後求諸人，On this account, the ruler must himself be possessed of the good qualities, and then he may require them in the people.
無諸己而後非諸人。He must not have the bad qualities in himself, and then he may require that they shall not be in the people.
所藏乎身不恕，而能喻諸人者，未之有也。Never has there been a man, who, not having reference to his own character and wishes in dealing with others, was able effectually to instruct them.
故治國在齊其家。Thus we see how the government of the state depends on the regulation of the family.
《詩》云：In the Book of Poetry, it is said,
「桃之夭夭，"That peach tree, so delicate and elegant!
其葉蓁蓁； How luxuriant is its foliage!
之子于歸， This girl is going to her husband's house.
宜其家人。」 She will rightly order her household."
宜其家人，而後可以教國人。Let the household be rightly ordered, and then the people of the state may be taught.
《詩》云：「宜兄宜弟。」In the Book of Poetry, it is said, "They can discharge their duties to their elder brothers.
They can discharge their duties to their younger brothers."
宜兄宜弟， Let the ruler discharge his duties to his elder and younger brothers,
而後可以教國人。 and then he may teach the people of the state.
《詩》云：「其儀不忒，正是四國。」In the Book of Poetry, it is said, "In his deportment there is nothing wrong; he rectifies all the people of the state."
其為父子兄弟足法，而後民法之也。Yes; when the ruler, as a father, a son, and a brother, is a model, then the people imitate him.
此謂治國在齊其家。This is what is meant by saying, "The government of his kingdom depends on his regulation of the family."
