Shijing I. 2. (12)

The nest is the magpie's ;
The dove dwells in it.
This young lady is going to her future home ;
A hundred carriages are meeting her.

The nest is the magpie's ;
The dove possesses it.
This young lady is going to her future home ;
A hundred carriages are escorting her.

The nest is the magpie's ;
The dove fills it.
This young lady is going to her future home ;
These hundreds of carriages complete her array.

Legge 12

C'est la pie qui a fait un nid ;
ce sont ramiers qui logent là !
Cette fille qui se marie,
avec cent chars accueillez-la !

C'est la pie qui a fait un nid :
ce sont ramiers qui gîtent là !
Cette fille qui se marie,
avec cent chars escortez-la !

C'est la pie qui a fait un nid :
ce sont ramiers plein ce nid-là !
Cette fille qui se marie,
de cent chars d'honneur comblez-la !

Granet IX.

Translation into Nonohai:
