1 氓:
氓之蚩蚩、抱だき布ぬの貿絲。
匪來貿絲、來らい即そく我わが謀はかりごと。
送おく子こ涉わたる淇、至いたり于頓丘おか。
匪我愆期、子こ無む良りょう媒なかだち。
將子まさこ無む怒いか、秋あき以為期き。
Mang:
A simple-looking lad you were,
Carrying cloth to exchange it for silk.
[But] you came not so to purchase silk; -
You came to make proposals to me.
I convoyed you through the Qi,
As far as Dunqiu.
' It is not I, ' [I said], ' who would protract the time;
But you have had no good go-between.
I pray you be not angry,
And let autumn be the time. '

2 氓:
乘の彼かれ垝垣、以望復ふく關せき。
不ふ見み復ふく關せき、泣涕漣さざなみ漣さざなみ。
既すんで見み復ふく關せき、載の笑わらい載の言げん。
爾しか卜ぼく爾しか筮、體からだ無む咎とがめ言ごと。
以爾車しゃ來らい、以我賄まかない遷。
Mang:
I ascended that ruinous wall,
To look towards Fuguan;
And when I saw [you] not [coming from] it;
My tears flowed in streams.
When I did see [you coming from] Fuquan,
I laughed and I spoke.
You had consulted, [you said], the tortoise-shell and the reeds,
And there was nothing unfavourable in their response.
' Then come, ' [I said], ' with your carriage,
And I will remove with my goods.

3 氓:
桑くわ之の未み落、其葉沃若。
于嗟鳩ばと兮、無む食しょく桑くわ葚。
于嗟女おんな兮、無む與あずか士し耽ふけ。
士し之の耽ふけ兮、猶なお可か說せつ也、
女おんな之の耽ふけ兮、 不可ふか說せつ也。
Mang:
Before the mulberry tree has shed its leaves,
How rich and glossy are they!
Ah! thou dove,
Eat not its fruit [to excess].
Ah! thou young lady,
Seek no licentious pleasure with a gentleman.
When a gentleman indulges in such pleasure,
Something may still be said for him;
When a lady does so,
Nothing can be said for her.

4 氓:
桑くわ之の落矣、其黃而隕。
自我じが徂爾、三さん歲さい食しょく貧ひん。
淇水きすい湯ゆ湯ゆ、漸やや車くるま帷とばり裳も。
女おんな也不爽、士し貳に其行。
士し也罔極ごく、二に三さん其德。
Mang:
When the mulberry tree sheds its leaves,
They fall yellow on the ground.
Since I went with you,
Three years have I eaten of your poverty;
And [now] the full waters of the Qi,
Wet the curtains of my carriage.
There has been no difference in me,
But you have been double in your ways.
It is you, Sir, who transgress the right,
Thus changeable in your conduct.

5 氓:
三さん歲さい為ため婦ふ、靡室勞ろう矣。
夙興夜よる寐、靡有朝あさ矣。
言げん既遂きすい矣、至いたり于暴矣。
兄弟きょうだい不知ふち、咥其笑わらい矣。
靜せい言げん思おもえ之これ、躬自悼矣。
Mang:
For three years I was your wife,
And thought nothing of my toil in your house.
I rose early and went to sleep late,
Not intermitting my labours for a morning.
Thus [on my part] our contract was fulfilled,
But you have behaved thus cruelly.
My brothers will not know [all this],
And will only laugh at me.
Silently I think of it,
And bemoan myself.

6 氓:
及爾偕老、老ろう使つかい我わが怨。
淇則有ゆう岸がん、隰則有ゆう泮。
總角あげまき之の宴うたげ、言笑げんしょう晏晏。
信しん誓ちかい旦だん旦だん、不ふ思おもえ其反。
反はん是ぜ不ふ思おもえ、亦また已やめ焉哉。
Mang:
I was to grow old with you; -
Old, you give me cause for sad repining.
The Qi has its banks,
And the marsh has its shores.
In the pleasant time of my girlhood, with my hair simply gathered in a knot,
Harmoniously we talked and laughed.
Clearly were we sworn to good faith,
And I did not think the engagement would be broken.
That it would be broken I did not think,
And now it must be all over!
