殷武
挞[1]彼殷武，
奋伐荆楚。
罙[2]入其阻，
裒[3]荆之旅。
有截其所[4]，
汤孙之绪。
维女荆楚，
居国南乡。
昔有成汤，
自彼氐羌。
莫敢不来享[5]，
莫敢不来王，
曰商是常[6]。
天命多辟[7]，
设都于禹之绩[8]，
岁事来辟，
勿予祸适[9]，
稼穑匪解。
天命降监，
下民有严[10]。
不僭[11]不滥，
不敢怠遑[12]。
命于下国，
封建厥福。
商邑翼翼[13]，
四方之极[14]。
赫赫厥声，
濯濯[15]厥灵。
寿考且宁，
以保我后生。
陟彼景山，
松柏丸丸[16]。
是断是迁，
方斫是虔[17]。
松桷[18]有梴[19]，
旅楹有闲，
寝成孔安。
殷王大军真迅猛，
奋勇挥师伐荆楚。
长驱直入险阻地，
大败楚军捉俘虏。
所到之处捷报传，
商汤子孙赫赫功。
荆楚只帮要听真，
一直住在宋南方。
我的远祖是成汤，
即使僻远如氐羌，
谁人敢不来进贡，
谁人敢不来朝王，
都说服从我殷商。
上天下令诸侯国，
大禹治水建国邦，
年年祭祀来朝见，
宽大不愿施谴责，
切莫松懈误农桑。
上天在上察四方，
下民肃敬又端庄。
不敢妄为违礼制，
不敢怠惰把业荒。
天子命令我宋国，
努力治国福禄多。
商都繁华又整齐，
它是四方好榜样。
他有赫赫好名声，
他的威灵放光芒。
商王长寿又安康，
保我子孙万代昌。
登上高高景山颠，
苍松翠柏上参天。
锯断松柏运回家，
斫成柱子削成梁。
松树椽子长又长，
根根柱子多粗壮，
寝庙建成神灵安。

Hymn to King Wu Ding[1]
How rapid did Yin troops appear!
They attacked Chu State without fear.
They penetrated into its rear
And brought back many a captive’sear.
Wu Ding Conquered Chu land.
What an achievement grand!
The king gave Chu command,
“South of our state you stand.
In the time of King Tang
Even the tribes of Jiang
Dared not but come to pay
Homage under his sway.
Such was the rule of Shang.”
Heaven gave lords its orders
To build their capitals within Yu’s borders,
To pay homage each year,
To do their duties, not to fear
Its punishment severe
If farmwork is well done far and near.
Heaven ordered the lords to know
The reverent people below.
They should do no wrong nor be
Indolent and carefree,
To each subordinate state
May be brought blessings great!
The capital was full of order,
A model for states on the border.
The king had great renown
And brilliance up and down.
He enjoyed longevity.
May he bless his posterity!
We climbed the mountain high
Where pine and cypress pieiced the sky.
We felled them to the ground
And hewed them square and round.
We built with beams of pine
And pillars large and fine
The temple for Wu Ding’s shrine.
[1] This was an epic ode celebrating the war of King Wu Ding against the southern tribe of Chu, its success and the general happiness and virtue of his reign. This hymn was probably made when a special temple was built for him in 1256 B. C.
