孟獻子曰：The officer Meng Xian said,
「畜馬乘，"He who keeps horses and a carriage
不察於雞豚； does not look after fowls and pigs.
伐冰之家，The family which keeps its stores of ice
不畜牛羊； does not rear cattle or sheep.
百乘之家，So, the house which possesses a hundred chariots
不畜聚斂之臣。 should not keep a minister to look out for imposts that he may lay them on the people.
與其有聚斂之臣， Than to have such a minister,
寧有盜臣。」 it were better for that house to have one who should rob it of its revenues."
此謂國不以利為利，This is in accordance with the saying:-"In a state, pecuniary gain is not to be considered to be prosperity,
以義為利也。 but its prosperity will be found in righteousness."
長國家而務財用者， When he who presides over a state or a family makes his revenues his chief business,
必自小人矣。he must be under the influence of some small, mean man.
彼為善之， He may consider this man to be good;
小人之使為國家， but when such a person is employed in the administration of a state or family,
災害并至。calamities from Heaven, and injuries from men, will befall it together,
雖有善者，and, though a good man may take his place,
亦無如之何矣！ he will not be able to remedy the evil.
此謂國不以利為利，This illustrates again the saying, "In a state, gain is not to be considered prosperity,
以義為利也。 but its prosperity will be found in righteousness."
