古诗:文王有声 中英对照
King Wen is famous ;
Yea , he is very famous .
What he sought was the repose [of the people] ;
What he saw was the completion [of his work] .
A sovereign true was king Wen !
King Wen received the appointment [of Heaven] ,
And achieved his martial success .
Having overthrown Chong ,
He fixed his [capital] city in Feng .
A sovereign true was king Wen !
He repaired the walls along the [old] moat :
His establishing himself in Feng was according to [the pattern of his forefather s] ,
It was not that he was in haste to gratify his wishes ; ——
It was to show the filial duty which had come down to him .
A sovereign true was [our] royal prince !
His royal merit was brightly displayed ,
By those walls of Feng .
There were collected [the sympathies of the people of] the four quarters ,
Who regarded the royal prince as their protector .
A sovereign true was [our] royal prince !
The Feng-water flowed on to the east [of the city] ,
Through the meritorious labour of Yu .
There were collected [the sympathies of the people of ] the four quarters ,
Who would have the great king as their ruler .
A sovereign true was the great king !
In the capital of Hao he built his hall with its circlet of water ;
From the west to the east ,
From the south to the north ,
There was not a thought but did him homage .
A sovereign true was the great king !
He examined and divined , did the king ,
About settling in the capital of Hao .
The tortoise-shell decided the site ,
And king Wu completed the city .
A sovereign true was king Wu !
By the Feng-water grows the white millet ; ——
Did not king Wu show wisdom in his employment of officers ?
He would leave his plans to his descendants ,
And secure comfort and support to his son .
A sovereign true was king Wu !

文王有声、遹骏有声。
遹求厥宁、遹观厥成。
文王烝哉。
文王受命、有此武功。
既伐于崇、作邑于丰。
文王烝哉。
筑城伊淢、作丰伊匹。
匪棘其欲、遹追来孝。
王后烝哉。
王公伊濯、为丰之垣。
四方攸同、王后维翰。
王后烝哉。
丰水东注、维禹之绩。
四方攸同、皇王维辟。
皇王烝哉。
镐京辟廱.
自西自东、自南自北、无思不服。
皇王烝哉。
考卜维王、宅是镐京。
维龟正之、武王成之。
武王烝哉。
丰水有芑、武王岂不仕。
诒厥孙谋、以燕翼子。
武王烝哉。
