幼而學，壯而行，上致君，下澤民。揚名聲，顯父母，光於前，裕於後。人遺子，金滿籝，我教子，惟一經。TrTranslation
幼而學，壯而行，上致君，下澤民。
Learn when young, act when grown: above, serve your ruler; below, do good to the people.
揚名聲，顯父母，光於前，裕於後。
Make your name known and bring honour to your parents; add glory to those before you and leave plenty to those after.
人遺子，金滿籝，我教子，惟一經。
Others leave their children a chest full of gold. I teach my children only one classic.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
Compared with Wang Xiang's edition
Group 100 人遺子，金滿籝，我教子，惟一經。
Wang Xiang's edition writes 籯, a variant form of 籝 (“chest”).
From the Father's Lecture Notes
What learning is for. Three groups push outward step by step: first do your work well, then make life better for those around you, and finally leave something for those who come after. The last group is where these lecture notes come from: others leave their child a chest of gold; I leave mine a classic.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
