子墨子言曰：Mozi said:
「逮至昔三代聖王既沒， With the passing of the sage-kings of the Three Dynasties,
天下失義，the world lost its righteousness
諸侯力正， and the feudal lords took might as right.
是以存夫為人君臣上下者之不惠忠也， The superior and the subordinates are no longer gracious and loyal;
父子弟兄之不慈孝弟長貞良也，father and son, elder and younger brother are no longer affectionate and filial, brotherly and respectful, virtuous and kind.
正長之不強於聽治，The rulers do not attend diligently to government
賤人之不強於從事也， and the artisans do not attend earnestly to their work.
民之為淫暴寇
亂1盜賊，		The people practise immorality and wickedness and become rebellious. Thieves and bandits
以兵刃毒藥水火，with weapons, poison, water, and fire
退無罪人乎道路率徑， hold up innocent travellers on the highways and the bypaths,
奪人車馬衣裘以自利者並作，robbing them of their carts and horses, coats and fur coats, to enrich themselves.
由此始， All these start therewith (with the passing of the sage-kings).
是以天下亂。 And so the world falls into chaos.
此其故何以然也？Now what is the reason for this confusion?
則皆以疑惑鬼神之有與無之別，不明乎鬼神之能賞賢而罰暴也。It is all because of the doubt of the existence of the ghosts and spirits, and the ignorance of their being able to reward virtue and punish vice.
今若使天下之人，偕若信鬼神之能賞賢而罰暴也，則夫天下豈亂哉！If all the people in the world believed that the spirits are able to reward virtue and punish vice, how could the world be in chaos?
