曾子曰：「吾日三省吾身：為人謀而不忠乎？與朋友交而不信乎？傳不習乎？」

曾子說：「我每天都要多次提醒自己：工作是否敬業？交友是否守信？知識是否用於實踐？」

증자는 말했다. “나는 날마다 다음 세 가지 점에 대해 나 자신을 반성한다. 남을 위하여 일을 꾀하면서 진심을 다하지 못한 점은 없는가? 벗과 사귀면서 신의를 지키지 못한 일은 없는가? 배운 것을 제대로 익히지 못한 것은 없는가?”

The philosopher Tsang said, "I daily examine myself on three points:– whether, in transacting business for others, I may have been not faithful;– whether, in intercourse with friends, I may have been not sincere;– whether I may have not mastered and practiced the instructions of my teacher."

Tseng Tzu said,'Every day I examine myself on three counts. In what I have undertaken on another's behalf, have I failed to do my best? In my dealings with my friends have I failed to be trustworthy in what I say? Have I passed on to others anything that I have not tried out myself?'

曾子曰く、吾、日に三たび我が身を省みる。人の為に謀りて忠ならざるか、朋友と交わりて信ならざるか、習わざるを伝えしか。

曾参先生がこうおっしゃった。『私は毎日三回、自分の身を反省する。他人のためを思って真剣に考えてあげるまごころがなかったのではないか。友人と交際を持つ中で誠実ではなかったのではないか。（孔子に教わったことを）十分に復習説にあなた達に伝えてしまったのではないか』
