  第三十章 修身
  唯天下至圣为能聪明睿知,足以有临也;宽裕温柔,足以有容也;发强刚毅,足以有执也;齐庄中正,足以有敬也;文理密察,足以有别也。溥博渊泉,而时出之。溥博如天,渊泉如渊。见而民莫不敬,言而民莫不信,行而民莫不说。是以声名洋溢乎中国,施及蛮貊。舟车所至,人力所通;天之所覆,地之所载;日月所照,霜露所队。凡有血气者,莫不尊亲,故曰配天。
  It is only he, possessed of all sagely qualities that can exist under heaven, who shows himself quick in apprehension, clear in discernment, of far-reaching intelligence, and all-embracing knowledge, fitted to exercise rule; magnanimous, generous, benign, and mild, fitted to exercise forbearance; impulsive, energetic, firm, and enduring, fitted to maintain a firm hold; self-adjusted, grave, never swerving from the Mean, and correct, fitted to command reverence; accomplished, distinctive, concentrative, and searching, fitted to exercise discrimination.
  All-embracing is he and vast, deep and active as a fountain, sending forth in their due season his virtues.
  All-embracing and vast, he is like Heaven. Deep and active as a fountain, he is like the abyss. He is seen, and the people all reverence him; he speaks, and the people all believe him; he acts, and the people all are pleased with him.
  Therefore his fame overspreads the Middle Kingdom, and extends to all barbarous tribes. Wherever ships and carriages reach; wherever the strength of man penetrates; wherever the heavens overshadow and the earth sustains; wherever the sun and moon shine; wherever frosts and dews fall:-all who have blood and breath unfeignedly honor and love him. Hence it is said,-"He is the equal of Heaven."
  【原文】
  唯天下至圣,为能聪明睿知1,足以有临也2。宽裕温柔3,足以有容也4。发强刚毅5,足以有执也6。齐庄中正7,足以有敬也。文理密察8,足以有别也9。
  溥博渊泉,而时出之10。溥博如天,渊泉如渊。见而民莫不敬11,言而民莫不信,行而民莫不说12。
  是以声名洋溢乎中国13,施及蛮貊14。舟车所至,人力所通,天之所覆,地之所载,日月所照,霜露所队15,凡有血气者,莫不尊亲16。故曰配天。
  【译文】
  只有天下崇高的圣人,才能做到聪明智慧,能够居上位而临下民;宽宏大量,温和柔顺,能够包容天下;奋发勇健,刚强坚毅,能够决断天下大事;威严庄重,忠诚正直,能够博得人们的尊敬;条理清晰,详辨明察,能够辨别是非邪正。
  崇高的圣人,美德广博而又深厚,并且时常会表现出来。德性广博如天,德性深厚如渊。美德表现在仪容上,百姓没有谁不敬佩,表现在言谈中,百姓没有谁不信服。表现在行动上,百姓没有谁不喜悦。
  这样,美好的名声广泛流传在中国,并且传播到边远的少数民族地区。凡是车船行驶的地方,人力通行的地方,霜露降落的地方;凡有血气的生物,没有不尊重和不亲近他们的,所以说圣人的美德能与天相匹配。
