古詩:文王有聲 中英對照
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 !

文王有聲、遹駿有聲。
遹求厥甯、遹觀厥成。
文王烝哉。
文王受命、有此武功。
既伐於崇、作邑於豐。
文王烝哉。
築城伊淢、作豐伊匹。
匪棘其欲、遹追來孝。
王後烝哉。
王公伊濯、爲豐之垣。
四方攸同、王後維翰。
王後烝哉。
豐水東注、維禹之勣。
四方攸同、皇王維辟。
皇王烝哉。
鎬京辟廱.
自西自東、自南自北、無思不服。
皇王烝哉。
考蔔維王、宅是鎬京。
維龜正之、武王成之。
武王烝哉。
豐水有芑、武王豈不仕。
詒厥孫謀、以燕翼子。
武王烝哉。
