【廿一章】【一節】樊遲從遊於舞雩之下。曰、敢問崇德、修慝、辨惑。子
曰、善哉問。【三節】先事後得、非崇德與、攻其惡、無攻人之惡、非修慝
與、一朝之忿、忘其身以及其親、非惑與。
【廿二章】【一節】樊遲問仁。子曰、愛人。問
virtue, but his actions are opposed to it, and he rests in this
character without any doubts about himself. Such a man will be
heard of in the country; he will be heard of in the clan.'
CHAP. XXI. 1. Fan Ch'ih rambling with the Master under
the trees about the rain altars, said, 'I venture to ask how to
exalt virtue, to correct cherished evil, and to discover
delusions.'
2. The Master said, 'Truly a good question!
3. 'If doing what is to be done be made the first business,
and success a secondary consideration;-- is not this the way to
exalt virtue? To assail one's own wickedness and not assail that
of others;-- is not this the way to correct cherished evil? For a
morning's anger to disregard one's own life, and involve that of
his parents;-- is not this a case of delusion?'
CHAP. XXII. 1. Fan Ch'ih asked about benevolence. The
Master said, 'It is to love all men.' He asked about knowledge.
The Master said, 'It is to know all men.'
知。子曰、知人。【二節】樊遲未達。【三節】子曰、舉直錯諸枉、能使枉
者直。【四節】樊遲退、見子夏曰、鄉也、吾見於夫子而問知。子曰、舉直
錯諸枉、能使枉者直、何謂也。【五節】子夏曰、富哉言乎。【六節】舜有
天下、選於眾、舉皋陶、不仁者遠矣、湯有天下、選於眾、舉伊尹、不仁者
遠矣。
【廿三章】子貢問友。子曰、忠告而善道
2. Fan Ch'ih did not immediately understand these
answers.
3. The Master said, 'Employ the upright and put aside all
the crooked;-- in this way the crooked can be made to be
upright.'
4. Fan Ch'ih retired, and, seeing Tsze-hsia, he said to him,
'A Little while ago, I had an interview with our Master, and
asked him about knowledge. He said, 'Employ the upright, and
put aside all the crooked;-- in this way, the crooked will be
made to be upright.' What did he mean?'
5. Tsze-hsia said, 'Truly rich is his saying!
6. 'Shun, being in possession of the kingdom, selected
from among all the people, and employed Kao-yao, on which all
who were devoid of virtue disappeared. T'ang, being in
possession of the kingdom, selected from among all the people,
and employed I Yin, and all who were devoid of virtue
disappeared.'
CHAP. XXIII. Tsze-kung asked about friendship. The
Master said, 'Faithfully admonish your friend, and skillfully
lead him on. If you find him impracticable, stop. Do not
disgrace yourself.'
之、不可則止、毋自辱焉。
【廿四章】曾子曰、君子以文會友、以友輔仁。
CHAP. XXIV. The philosopher Tsang said, 'The superior
man on grounds of culture meets with his friends, and by their
friendship helps his virtue.'
