[原文]

10. 1 天地定位，祀遍群神。六宗既禋，三望咸秩，甘雨和风，是生黍稷，兆民所仰，美报兴焉。牲盛惟馨，本于明德，祝史陈信，资乎文辞。

[今译]

天上地下的位置确定，众多神灵普遍受到祭祀。六种尊神已经祭祀，山河海的神都按次序望祭，于是风调雨顺，生长谷物，是亿万民众所仰望，才兴起了美好的报答。祭祀的三牲和谷物是美好的，根本在于祭者的美德，祝史祷告是真诚的，那就依靠文辞。

10.1 When heaven and earth settled in their respective places, sacrifices were offered to the spirits and deities. After the heavenly deities had received homage, the mountain, river, and sea gods were worshipped. Balmy rains and gentle winds then came, bringing forth crops upon which men fed. Men offered spontaneous sacrifices, whose fragrance had its source in human virtue. The sacrificial officer expressed sincere homage, for which he relied on embellished language.
