今王公大人天下之諸侯則不然，The rulers and lords of to-day are quite different.
將必皆差論其爪牙之士，They all rank their warriors
皆列其舟車之卒伍， and arrange their boat and chariot forces;
於此為堅甲利兵，they make their armour strong and weapons sharp
以往攻伐無罪之國。 in order to attack some innocent state.
入其國家邊境，Entering the state
芟刈其禾稼，they cut down the grain fields
斬其樹木， and fell the trees and woods;
墮其城郭，they tear down the inner and outer walls of the city
以湮其溝池， and fill up the ditches and ponds;
攘殺其牲牷，they seize and kill the sacrificial animals
燔潰其祖廟， and burn down the ancestral temple;
勁殺其萬民，they kill and murder the people
覆其老弱， and exterminate the aged and weak;
遷其重器， they move away the treasures and valuables.
卒進而柱乎鬥， The soldiers are encouraged to advance by being told:
曰『死命為上， "To suffer death is the highest (service you can render),
多殺次之， to kill many is the next,
身傷者為下， to be wounded is the lowest.
又況失列北橈乎哉， But if you should drop out from your rank and attempt to sneak away,
罪死無赦』， the penalty will be death without moderation."
以譂其眾。 Thus the soldiers are put to fear.
夫無兼國覆軍， Now to capture a state and to destroy an army,
賊虐萬民， to disturb and torture the people,
以亂聖人之緒。 and to set at naught the aspirations of the sages by confusion
意將以為利天乎？- is this intended to bless Heaven?
夫取天之人， But the people of Heaven are gathered together
以攻天之邑，to besiege the towns belonging to Heaven.
此刺殺天民，This is to murder men of Heaven
剝振神之位，and dispossess the spirits of their altars
傾覆社稷，攘殺其犧牲， and to ruin the state and to kill the sacrificial animals.
則此上不中天之利矣。 It is then not a blessing to Heaven on high.
意將以為利鬼乎？Is it intended to bless the spirits?
夫殺之人，滅鬼神之主，廢滅先王，賊虐萬民，百姓離散，則此中不中鬼之利矣。But men of Heaven are murdered, spirits are deprived of their sacrifices, the earlier kings are neglected, the multitude are tortured and the people are scattered; it is then not a blessing to the spirits in the middle.
意將以為利人乎？Is it intended to bless the people?
夫殺之人，為利人也博矣。But the blessing of the people by killing them off must be very meagre.
又計其費此， And when we calculate the expense,
為周生之本， which is the root of the calamities to living,
竭天下百姓之財用，不可勝數也， we find the property of innumerable people is exhausted.
則此下不中人之利矣。It is, then, not a blessing to the people below either.
