法家 -> 商君書 -> 開塞 -> 7

古者民藂生而群處亂，故求有上也。Of old, people lived densely together and all dwelt in disorder, so they desired that there should be a ruler.
然則天下之樂有上也，將以為治也。However, why the empire was glad to have a ruler was because he would create order.
今有主而無法，Now, having rulers but no law,
其害與無主同； the evil is the same as if there were no rulers,
有法不勝其亂，and having laws that are not equal to the disorders
與無法同。 is the same as if there were no law.
天下不安無君，而樂勝其法，則舉世以為惑也。The empire does not feel tranquil without a prince, but it takes pleasure in being stronger than the law, and thus the whole world is perturbed.
夫利天下之民者，莫大於治；Indeed, there is no greater benefit for the people in the empire than order,
而治莫康於立君； and there is no firmer order to be obtained than by establishing a prince;
立君之道， for establishing a prince,
莫廣於勝法； there is no more embracing method than making law supreme;
勝法之務， for making law supreme,
莫急於去姦； there is no more urgent task than banishing villainy,
去姦之本， and for banishing villainy,
莫深於嚴刑。 there is no deeper basis than severe punishments.
故王者以賞禁，Therefore those, who attain supremacy, restrain by rewards
以刑勸； and encourage by punishments,
求過不求善， seek offences and not virtue,
藉刑以去刑。 and rely on punishments in order to abolish punishments.
