1 北山きたやま:
涉わたる彼かれ北山きたやま、言げん采さい其杞。
偕偕士し子こ、朝夕ちょうせき從事じゅうじ。
王事おうじ靡盬、憂う我わが父母ちちはは。
Bei Shan:
I ascend that northern hill,
And gather the medlars.
An officer, strong and vigorous,
Morning and evening I am engaged in service.
The king's business is not to be slackly performed;
And my parents are left in sorrow.

2 北山きたやま:
溥天之の下した、莫非王土おうど。
率土そっと之の濱はま、莫非王おう臣しん。
大夫たいふ不ふ均ひとし、我わが從事じゅうじ獨どく賢けん。
Bei Shan:
Under the wide heaven,
All is the king's land.
Within the sea-boundaries of the land,
All are the king's servants.
His great officers are unfair, -
Making me serve thus as if I alone were worthy.

3 北山きたやま:
四よん牡おす彭彭、王事おうじ傍はた傍はた。
嘉よしみ我わが未み老おい、鮮我方かた將はた。
旅たび力りょく方ほう剛つよし、經營けいえい四方しほう。
Bei Shan:
My four horses never halt;
The king's business allows no rest.
They praise me as not yet old;
They think few like me in vigour.
While the backbone retains its strength,
I must plan and labour in all parts of the kingdom.

4 北山きたやま:
或ある燕つばめ燕つばめ居きょ息いき、或ある盡瘁じんすい事ごと國こく。
或ある息いき偃在床ゆか、或ある不ふ已やめ于行。
Bei Shan:
Some enjoy their ease and rest,
And some are worn out in the service of the State;
Some rest and loll upon their couches,
And some never cease marching about.

5 北山きたやま:
或ある不知ふち叫さけべ號ごう、或ある慘むご慘むご劬勞。
或ある棲遲偃仰、或ある王事おうじ鞅掌おうしょう。
Bei Shan:
Some never hear a sound,
And some are cruelly toiled;
Some lazily roost, on their backs looking up,
And some are all-bustled in the service of the king.

6 北山きたやま:
或ある湛たたえ樂らく飲酒いんしゅ、或ある慘むご慘むご畏かしこ咎とがめ。
或ある出入でいり風ふう議ぎ、或ある靡事不為ふため。
Bei Shan:
Some indulge long in pleasure and drinking,
And some are miserable, in apprehension of blame;
Some, at home and abroad, pass critical remarks,
And some have everything to do.

O bright and high Heaven,
Who enlightenest and rulest this lower world!
I marched on this expedition to the west,
As far as this wilderness of Qiu.
From the first day of the second month,
I have passed through the cold and the heat.
My heart is sad;
The poison [of my lot] is too bitter.
I think of those [at court] in their offices,
And my tears flow down like rain.
Do I not wish to return?
But I fear the net for crime.

Formerly, when I set out,
The sun and moon had renewed the year.
When shall I return?
The year is now late.
I think how I am alone,
While the affairs devolving on me are very many.
My heart is sad;
And I am toiled without any leisure.
I think of those [at court] in their offices,
Looking back to them with fond regard.
Do I not wish to return?
But I am afraid of reproof and anger.

Formerly, when I set out,
The sun and moon were giving a mild warmth.
When shall I return?
The affairs of government are become more urgent.
It is late in the year,
And we are gathering the southernwood, and reaping the beans.
My heart is sad;
I give myself nothing but distress.
When I think of those [at court] in their offices,
I rise and pass the night outside.
Do I not wish to return?
But I am afraid of the vicissitudes of things.

All repair to the private feast.

And give their soothing aid at the second blessing.
Your viands are set forth;
There is no dissatisfaction, but all feel happy.
They drink to the full, and eat to the full;
Great and small, they bow their heads, (saying),
'The Spirits enjoyed your spirits and viands,
And will cause you to live long.

Are completely discharged by you.
May your sons and your grandsons
Never fail to perpetuate these services!'
