憲問第十四

BOOK XIV. HSIEN WAN.

【第一章】憲問恥。子曰、邦有道穀、邦無道穀、恥也。

Chapter I. Hsien asked what was shameful. The Master said, "When good government prevails in a state, to be thinking only of salary; and, when bad government prevails, to be thinking, in the same way, only of salary;—this is shameful."

【第二章】【一節】克、伐、怨、欲、不行焉、可以爲仁矣。【二節】子曰、可以爲難矣、仁則吾不知也。

【第三章】子曰、士而懷居、不足以爲士矣。

【第四章】子曰、邦有道、危言危行、邦無道、危行言孫。

【第五章】子曰、有德者、必有言、有言者、不必有德、仁者、必有勇、勇者、不必有仁。

Chapter II. 1. "When the love of superiority, boasting, resentments, and covetousness are repressed, this may be deemed perfect virtue."

2. The Master said, "This may be regarded as the achievement of what is difficult. But I do not know that it is to be deemed perfect virtue."

Chapter III. The Master said, "The scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar."

Chapter IV. The Master said, "When good government prevails in a state, language may be lofty and bold, and actions the same. When bad government prevails, the actions may be lofty and bold, but the language may be with some reserve."

Chapter V. The Master said, "The virtuous will be sure to speak correctly, but those whose speech is good may not always be virtuous. Men of principle are sure to be bold, but those who are bold may not always be men of principle."

【第六章】南宮适問於孔子曰、羿善射、奡盪舟、俱不得其死然、禹稷躬稼、而有天下。夫子不答。南宮适出。子曰、君子哉若人、尙德哉若人。

【第七章】子曰、君子而不仁者有矣夫、未有小人而仁者也。

Chapter VI. Nan-kung Kwo, submitting an inquiry to Confucius, said, "I was skillful at archery, and Ao could move a boat along upon the land, but neither of them died a natural death. Yu and Chi personally wrought at the toils of husbandry, and they became possessors of the kingdom." The Master made no reply; but when Nan-kung Kwo went out, he said, "A superior man indeed is this! An esteemer of virtue indeed is this!"

Chapter VII. The Master said, "Superior men, and yet not always virtuous, there have been, alas! But there never has been a mean man, and, at the same time, virtuous."

【第八章】子曰、愛之、能勿勞乎、忠焉、能勿誨乎。

【第九章】子曰、爲命、裨諶草創之、世叔討論之、行人子羽修飾之、東里子產潤色之。

【第十章】【一節】或問子產。子曰、惠人也。【二節】問子西。曰、彼哉彼哉。【三節】問管仲。曰、人也、奪伯氏騈邑三百、飯疏食、沒齒、

Chapter VIII. The Master said, "Can there be love which does not lead to strictness with its object? Can there be loyalty which does not lead to the instruction of its object?"

Chapter IX. The Master said, "In preparing the governmental notifications, P'i Shan first made the rough draught; Shi-shu examined and discussed its contents; Tsze-yu, the manager of Foreign intercourse, then polished the style; and, finally, Tsze-ch'an of Tung-li gave it the proper elegance and finish."

Chapter X. 1. Some one asked about Tsze-ch'an. The Master said, "He was a kind man."

2. He asked about Tsze-hsi. The Master said, "That man! That man!"

3. He asked about Kwan Chung. "For him," said the Master, "the city of Pien, with three hundred families, was taken from the chief of the Po family, who did not utter a murmuring word, though, to the end of his life, he had only coarse rice to eat."

無怨言。

【十一章】子曰、貧而無怨、難、富而無驕、易。

【十二章】子曰、孟公綽、爲趙魏老則優、不可以爲滕薛大夫。
