三十一年夏六月,齐侯来献戎捷,非礼也。凡诸侯有四夷之功,则献于王,王以警于夷。中国则否。诸侯不相遗俘。
In the summer and June of the thirty-first year, the Marquis of Qi came to offer Rong Jie, which was not polite. If the princes have merit from the four barbarians, they will be dedicated to the king, and the king will serve as a warning to the barbarians. Not so in China. The princes do not leave prisoners to each other.
三十一年夏季,六月,齐桓公来鲁国奉献讨伐山戎的战利品,这是不合于礼的。凡是诸侯讨伐四方夷狄有功,就要奉献给周天子,周天子用来警戒四方夷狄;在中原作战就不这样。诸侯之间不能互相赠送俘虏。
In the summer of the thirty-first year, in the sixth month, Duke Huan of Qi came to the state of Lu to offer the spoils of the expedition against the Shanrong, which was not in line with etiquette. Whenever the princes made meritorious deeds in attacking the barbarians from all directions, they would be dedicated to the Emperor of Zhou, who would use them to warn the barbarians from all over the world. This was not the case in the battles in the Central Plains. Princes cannot give prisoners to each other.
