孔子游于匡，When Confucius was travelling in Kuang,
宋人围之数匝， some people of Song (once) surrounded him (with a hostile intention) several ranks deep;
而弦歌不惙。 but he kept singing to his lute without stopping.
子路入见，Zi-lu came in, and saw him,
曰： and said,
“何夫子之娱也？”'How is it, Master, that you are so pleased?'
孔子曰： Confucius said,
“来！ 'Come here,
吾语女。 and I will tell you.
我讳穷久矣， I have tried to avoid being reduced to such a strait for a long time;
而不免，and that I have not escaped
命也； shows that it was so appointed for me.
求通久矣， I have sought to find a ruler that would employ me for a long time,
而不得， and that I have not found one,
时也。 shows the character of the time.
当尧、舜而天下无穷人， Under Yao and Shun there was no one in the kingdom reduced to straits like mine;
非知得也， and it was not by their sagacity that men succeeded as they did.
当桀，纣而天下无通人， Under Jie and Zhou no (good and able man) in the kingdom found his way to employment;
非知失也， and it was not for (want of) sagacity that they failed to do so.
时势适然。 It was simply owing to the times and their character.
夫水行不避蛟龙者， People that do business on the water do not shrink from meeting iguanodons and dragons
渔父之勇也；- that is the courage of fishermen.
陆行不避兕虎者， Those who do business on land do not shrink from meeting rhinoceroses and tigers
猎夫之勇也；- that is the courage of hunters.
白刃交于前， When men see the sharp weapons crossed before them,
视死若生者， and look on death as going home
烈士之勇也；- that is the courage of the determined soldier.
知穷之有命， When he knows that his strait is determined for him,
知通之有时， and that the employment of him by a ruler depends on the character of the time,
临大难而不惧者， and then meeting with great distress is yet not afraid
圣人之勇也。- that is the courage of the sagely man.
由处矣！Wait, my good You,
吾命有所制矣。” and you will see what there is determined for me in my lot.'
无几何， A little afterwards,
将甲者进，辞曰：the leader of the armed men approached and took his leave, saying,
“以为阳虎也， 'We thought you were Yang Hu,
故围之； and therefore surrounded you.
今非也， Now we see our mistake.'
请辞而退。”(With this) he begged to take his leave, and withdrew.
