墨家 -> 墨子 -> 卷八 -> 明鬼下 -> 8

非惟若書之說為然也。Not only does the record in this book prove it to be so.
昔者，Formerly
齊莊君之
臣1有所謂王里國、中里徼者，此二子者，		the Lord Zhuang of Qi (794-731 B.C.) had two ministers, Wang Liguo and Zhong Lijiao,
訟三年而獄不斷。who were engaged in a lawsuit. For three years no judgment could be reached.
齊君由謙殺之恐不辜，The Lord of Qi thought of putting both of them to death, but was afraid to slay the innocent;
猶謙釋之。he thought of acquitting both of them
恐失有罪， but was afraid to let loose the guilty.
乃使之人共一羊，So he let them provide a lamb
盟齊之神社， and take oath on the altar of Qi.
二子許諾。 The two men agreed to take the oath of blood.
於是泏洫𢵣羊而漉其血， The throat of the lamb was cut and its blood sprinkled on the altar.
讀王里國之辭既已終矣， The case of Wang Liguo was read all through.
讀中里徼之辭未半也， But before half of the case of Zhong Lijiao was read,
羊起而觸之， the lamb arose and butted at him,
折其腳，broke his leg
祧神之而槁之，殪之盟所。 and prostrated him on it.
當是時，At the time
齊人從者莫不見，those people who were present all saw it
遠者莫不聞， and those far away heard of it.
著在齊之春秋。 It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn of Qi.
諸侯傳而語之曰： The feudal lords circulated the news around and remarked:
『請品先不以其請者，"So speedy and severe
鬼神之誅，is the punishment from spirits and ghosts to him
至若此其憯遫也。』 that takes an oath in insincerity!"
以若書之說觀之， Judging from the record in this book,
鬼神之有，豈可疑哉？」 how can we doubt that spirits and ghosts exist?
