治國刑多而賞少，亂國賞多而刑少。In an orderly country, punishments are numerous and rewards rare.
故王者刑九而賞一，削國賞九而刑一。Therefore, in countries that attain supremacy, there is one reward to nine punishments, and in dismembered countries, nine rewards to every one punishment.
夫過有厚薄，Now, in proportion to the gravity or otherwise of the offence,
則刑有輕重； there are light and heavy punishments,
善有大小， and in proportion to the greatness of the virtue,
則賞有多少。 there are large or small rewards.
此二者，世之常用也。These two differences are constantly applied in the world.
刑加於罪所終，則姦不去，賞施於民所義，則過不止。If punishments are applied to accomplished crimes, then villainy will not be banished, and if rewards are bestowed for virtuous actions that have been achieved by the people, then offences will not cease.
刑不能去姦，而賞不能止過者，必亂。Now, if punishments cannot banish villainy, nor rewards put an end to offences, there will doubtless be disorder.
故王者刑用於將過，Therefore, in the case of one who attains supremacy, punishments are applied at the intent to sin,
則大邪不生； so that great depravity cannot be bred;
賞施於告姦， and rewards are bestowed on the denouncement of villainy,
則細過不失。 so that minor sins do not escape unnoticed.
治民能使大邪不生，細過不失，則國治，國治必強。If, in governing a people, a condition can be brought about, wherein great depravity cannot be bred and minor offences do not escape unnoticed, the state will be orderly, and, being orderly, it is certain to be strong.
一國行之， If one country alone applies this method,
境內獨治； there will be order only within its own borders;
二國行之， if two countries apply this method,
兵則少寢； the armies will have some rest;
天下行之， if the whole world applies this method,
至德復立。 the highest state of virtue will be re-established.
此吾以效刑之反於德，而義合於暴也。This is my way of reverting to virtue by death-penalties, and of making righteousness a corollary to violence.
