昔之圣王禹、汤、文、武，兼 爱1天下之百姓，率以尊天事鬼，其利人多，故天福之，使立为天子，天下诸侯皆宾事之。暴王桀、纣、幽、厉，兼恶天下之百姓，率以诟天侮鬼。其贼2人多，故天祸之，使遂失其国家，身死为僇于天下。后世子孙毁之，至今不息。故为不善以得祸者，桀、纣、幽、厉是也。爱人利人以得福者，禹、汤、文、武是也。爱人利人以得福者有矣，恶人贼人以得祸者亦有矣！ |
| On the necessity of...: |
The ancient sage-kings, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu loved the people of the world universally, leading them to reverence Heaven and worship the spirits. Many were their benefits to the people. And, thereupon Heaven blessed them, establishing them emperors; and all the feudal lords of the empire showed them respect. (On the other hand) the wicked kings, Jie, Zhou, You, and Li, hated all the people in the world, seducing the people to curse Heaven and ridicule the spirits. Great were their injuries to the people. Thereupon Heaven brought them calamity, depriving them of their empire and their lives; and posterity condemned them to this day. Jie, Zhou, You, and Li, then, are those that committed evil and were visited by calamities. And Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu are those that loved and benefited the people and obtained blessings. Thus we have those who obtained blessings because they loved and benefited the people as well as those who were visited by calamities because they hated and harmed the people. 1. 爱 : Inserted. 孙诒让《墨子闲诂》 |

| 4 | 天志下: |
且天之爱百姓也，不尽物而止矣。今天下之国，粒食之民， 国1杀一 不辜者，必有一2不祥。曰谁杀不辜？曰人也。孰予之不辜？曰天也。若天之中实不爱此民也，何故而人有杀不辜，而天予之不祥哉？且天之爱百姓厚矣，天之爱百姓别矣，既可得而知也。何以知天之爱百姓也？吾以贤者之必赏善罚暴也。何以知贤者之必赏善罚暴也？吾以昔者三代之圣王知之。故昔也三代之圣王尧舜禹汤文武之兼爱天下也，从而利之，移其百姓之意焉，率以敬上帝山川鬼神，天以为从其所爱而爱之，从其所利而利之，于是加其赏焉，使之处上位，立为天子以法也，名之曰‘圣人’，以此 知3其赏善之证。是故昔也三代之暴王桀纣幽厉之兼恶天下也，从而贼之，移其百姓之意焉，率以诟侮上帝山川鬼神，天以为不从其所爱而恶之，不从其所利而贼之，于是加其罚焉，使之父子离散，国家灭亡，抎失社稷，忧以及其身。是以天下之庶民属而毁之，业万世子孙继嗣，毁之贲不之废也，名之曰‘失王’，以此知其罚暴之证。今天下之士君子，欲为义者，则不可不顺天之意矣。 |
| Will of Heaven III: |
That Heaven loves all the people of the world is proved not only by this. In all the countries in the world and among all the people who live on grains, the murder of one innocent individual brings down one calamity. Now who is it that murders the innocent? It is man. Who is it that sends down the calamity? It is Heaven. If Heaven really did not love the people, why does Heaven send down calamities for the murder of the innocent? Furthermore, Heaven loves the people dearly, Heaven loves the people inclusively. And this can be known. How do we know Heaven loves the people? Because of the certain reward to the good and punishment to the evil from the virtuous (Heaven). How do we know the virtuous (Heaven) certainly rewards the good and punishes the evil? I know this from the (examples of) the sage-kings of the Three Dynasties. Anciently, the sage-kings of the Three Dynasties, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu, loved the world universally and proceeded to benefit them. They converted the desires of the people and led them to worship God, hills and rivers, and the spirits. Heaven was pleased because they loved what it loved and benefited what it would benefit, and bestowed rewards upon them, placing them on the throne, crowning them emperor, upholding them as the standard, and calling them sage-kings. Here we have the proof of reward of the good. Anciently, the wicked kings of the Three Dynasties, Jie, Zhou, You, and Li, hated all the world and proceeded to oppress them. They converted the desires of the people and led them to blaspheme against God, hills and rivers, and the spirits. Heaven was offended because they hated those whom Heaven loved and oppressed those whom Heaven would benefit, and Heaven decreed punishments upon them, letting fathers and sons be scattered, their empire be put to an end, their state be lost to them, and capital punishment fall upon them. Thereupon, the multitudes in the world condemned them, the condemnation lasting all through the ten thousand generations, the people calling them wicked kings. Here we have the proof of punishment of the evil. Those gentlemen of the world who desire to do righteousness have only to obey the will of Heaven. 1. 国 : Deleted. 孙诒让《墨子闲诂》 |

| 1 | 法仪: | 子墨子曰：天下从事者，不可以无法仪，无法仪而其事能成者无有也。故百工从事，皆有法度，今大者治天下，其次治大国，而无法度，此不若百工也。然则奚以为治法而可，莫若法天，天之行广而无私，其施厚而不息息作德，其明久而不衰，故圣王法之，既以天为法，动作有为，必度于天，天之所欲则为之，天所不欲则止，然而天何欲何恶也。天必欲人之相爱相利，而不欲人之相恶相贼也。以其兼而爱之，兼而利之也。奚以知天之兼而爱之，兼而利之也。今天下无小大国，皆天之邑也。人无幼长贵贱，皆天之臣也。故曰爱人利人者，天必福之，恶人贼人者，天必祸之，是以天欲人相爱相利，而不欲人相恶相贼也。昔之圣王禹、汤、文、武，兼爱天下之百姓，率以尊天事鬼，其利人多，故天福之，使立为天子，天下诸侯皆宾事之，暴王桀、纣、幽、厉，兼恶天下之百姓，率以诟天侮鬼，其贼人多，故天祸之，使遂失其国家，身死为戮于天下后世，子孙毁之，至今不息，故为不善以得祸者，桀、纣、幽、厉是也。爱人利人以得福者，禹、汤、文、武是也。 |
