雅賚，納喇氏，滿洲正藍旗人。 Ya Ji, of the Nara clan, was a Manchu of the Plain Blue Banner.

大將軍安親王岳樂率禁旅南征，駐南昌，以雅賚與署領都統阿喀尼參贊軍務，移兵攻彭澤。 Grand General Prince An Yuele led the Forbidden Troops south to Nanchang. Ya Ji and acting commander Akani advised on military affairs as the army moved against Pengze.

師進攻彭澤，城西臨江，南北皆倚山，路險峻，乃督兵略其東，陟山，樹雲梯以登。 At Pengze the city faced the river on the west with mountains north and south and treacherous approaches. Ya Ji led troops around the east, scaled the heights, and raised siege ladders.

安親王軍至，賊棄城走都昌，雅賚追及之，敗竄鄱陽湖，所置吏以湖口降。 Prince An's main force arrived; the rebels abandoned the city for Duchang. Ya Ji overtook them, drove them into Poyang Lake, and Hukou surrendered.

復進徵建昌，精忠將邵連登據常興山，列營三十，雅賚攻其左，諸軍自右擊之，盡夷其巢，連登中流矢死。 He advanced on Jianchang, where Geng Jingzhong's general Shao Liandeng held Changxing Mountain with thirty camps. Ya Ji attacked from the left while other columns struck from the right, destroying the camps. Liandeng died of an arrow wound.

復與都統霍特徵廣信，次石峽，方暑，士馬疲渴，猝遇伏，師少卻，雅賚直前奮戰，中砲死，賜祭葬，諡襄壯，予世職拜他喇布勒哈番。 With Commander Huote he marched on Guangxin and halted at Shixia in midsummer heat, with men and horses exhausted. An ambush forced a brief retreat; Ya Ji charged forward, was killed by cannon fire, and received sacrifices, burial, the posthumous title Xiangzhuang, and hereditary Baitalahafan.
