天保定尔,以莫不兴。
如山如阜,如冈如陵。
如川之方至,以莫不增。
吉蠲为饎,是用孝享。
禴祠烝尝,于公先王。
君曰卜尔,万寿无疆。
Offer your wine and rice From summer, fall to spring / As filial sacrifice To your ancestral king Whose soul in the witch appears: The spirit comes and confers / Many blessings on you And on simple laborers
神之吊矣,诒尔多福。
民之质矣,日用饮食。
群黍百姓,徧为尔德。
如月之恒,如日之升。
如南山之寿,不骞不崩。
如松柏之茂,无不尔或承。
But daily food and brew. / The common people raise Their voice to sing your praise: Like the moon in the sky / Or sunrise o'er the plain, Like southern mountains high Which never fall or wane / Or like luxuriant pines, May such be your succeeding lines!"
