Those hours that with gentle work did frame
Những giờ khắc đã dịu dàng tạo nên
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell
Vẻ đẹp đáng yêu mà mọi ánh mắt đều dừng lại
Will play the tyrants to the very same,
Sẽ trở thành bạo chúa đối với chính điều đó,
And that unfair which fairly doth excel:
Và làm xấu đi những gì vốn xuất sắc trong vẻ đẹp:
For never-resting time leads summer on
Vì thời gian không ngừng nghỉ dẫn mùa hè đi
To hideous winter and confounds him there,
Đến mùa đông khắc nghiệt và nhấn chìm nó ở đó,
Sap checked with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Nhựa cây bị sương giá chặn lại và lá xanh tươi đã biến mất,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Vẻ đẹp bị tuyết phủ kín và sự trơ trụi lan khắp nơi:
Then were not summer's distillation left
Thế thì nếu không còn lại tinh chất của mùa hè
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Một tù nhân lỏng bị giam cầm trong vách thủy tinh,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Hiệu ứng của vẻ đẹp cùng vẻ đẹp sẽ bị tước đoạt,
Nor it nor no remembrance what it was.
Chẳng còn nó lẫn chút ký ức nào về những gì nó từng là.
But flowers distilled though they with winter meet,
Nhưng hoa đã được chưng cất dù gặp mùa đông,
Leese but their show, their substance still lives sweet.
Chỉ mất đi vẻ bề ngoài, còn bản chất vẫn sống ngọt ngào.

Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
Vậy thì đừng để bàn tay thô ráp của mùa đông tàn phá,
In thee thy summer ere thou be distilled:
Mùa hè trong ngươi trước khi ngươi được chưng cất:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place,
Hãy làm ngọt ngào một chiếc lọ; hãy lưu giữ ở một nơi nào đó,
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed:
Kho báu của vẻ đẹp trước khi nó tự hủy diệt:
That use is not forbidden usury,
Sự sử dụng đó không phải là cho vay nặng lãi bị cấm,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
Mà mang lại hạnh phúc cho những ai trả khoản vay tự nguyện;
That's for thyself to breed another thee,
Đó là để ngươi sinh ra một người khác như ngươi,
Or ten times happier be it ten for one,
Hay hạnh phúc gấp mười lần nếu đó là mười thay cho một,
Ten times thyself were happier than thou art,
Mười phiên bản của ngươi sẽ hạnh phúc hơn ngươi hiện tại,
If ten of thine ten times refigured thee:
Nếu mười người của ngươi tái hiện ngươi mười lần:
Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
Thế thì cái chết có thể làm gì nếu ngươi phải ra đi,
Leaving thee living in posterity?
Khi để lại ngươi đang sống trong hậu thế?
Be not self-willed for thou art much too fair,
Đừng cố chấp vì ngươi quá đỗi đẹp đẽ,
To be death's conquest and make worms thine heir.
Để trở thành chiến lợi phẩm của cái chết và biến lũ giun thành kẻ thừa kế của ngươi.
