詩經 Book of Odes - 泂酌 JIONG ZHUO
泂酌彼行潦、挹彼注茲、可以饙饎。
豈弟君子、民之父母 。
泂酌彼行潦、挹彼注茲、可以濯罍。
豈弟君子、民之攸歸 。
洞酌彼行潦、挹彼注茲、可以濯溉。
豈弟君子、民之攸塈 。
Take the pool-water from a distance ;
Draw it into one vessel and let it flow to another ,
And it may be used to stream rice or millet .
[How much more should] the happy and courteous sovereign ,
Be the parent of the people !
Take the pool-water from a distance ;
Draw it into one vessel and let it flow to another ,
And it may be used to wash a [spirit] vase .
[How much more should] the happy and courteous sovereign ,
Be the centre of attraction to the people !
Take the pool-water from a distance ;
Draw it into one vessel and let it flow to another ,
And it may be used for all purpose of cleansing .
[How much more should] the happy and courteous sovereign ,
Be the centre of rest to the people !
