天作 TIAN ZUO

天作高山、大王荒之。
彼作矣、文王康之。
彼徂矣岐、有夷之行、子孫保之。

Heaven made the lofty hill ,
And king Da brought [the country about] it under cultivation .
He made the commencement with it ,
And king Wen tranquilly [carried on the work] ,
[Till] that rugged [mount] Qi ,
Had level roads leading to it .

烈文 LIE WEN

烈文辟公、錫茲祉福。
惠我無疆、子孫保之。
無封靡于爾邦、維王其崇之。
念茲戎功、繼序其皇之。
無競維人、四方其訓之。
不顯維德、百辟其刑之。
於乎前王不忘。

Ye , brilliant and accomplished princes ,
Have conferred on me this happiness .
Your favours to me are without limit ,
And my descendants will preserve [the fruits of] them .
Be not mercenary nor extravagant in your States ,
And the king will honour you .

假以溢我、我其收之。
駿惠我文王、曾孫篤之。

The ordinances of Heaven , --
How deep are they and unintermitting !
And oh ! how illustrious ,

How does he [now] show his kindness ?
We will receive [his favour] ,

清廟 QING MIAO

於穆清廟、肅雝顯相。
濟濟多士、秉文之德。
對越在天、駿奔走在廟。
不顯不承、無射於人斯。

Ah ! solemn is the ancestral temple in its pure stillness .
Reverent and harmonious were the distinguished assistants ;
Great was the number of the officers : --
[All] assiduous followers of the virtue of [king] Wen .
In response to him in heaven ,
Grandly they hurried about in the temple .

召旻 ZHOU WEN

旻天疾威、天篤降喪。
瘨我饑饉、民卒流亡。
我居圉卒荒。

天降罪罟、蟊賊內訌、昏椓靡共、
潰潰回遹、實靖夷我邦。

皋皋訿訿、曾不知其玷。
兢兢業業、孔填不寧、我位孔貶。

如彼歲早、草不潰茂。
如彼棲苴。
我相此邦、無不潰止。

維昔之富、不如時、維今之疚、不如茲。
彼疏斯粺、胡不自替、職兄斯引。

池之竭矣、不云自頻。
