| 1 | 任為: | 勇於敢則殺，勇敢有為，則殺其身。勇於不敢則活。勇於不敢有為，則活其身。此兩者，謂敢與不敢也。或利或害，活身為利，殺身為害。天之所惡。惡有為也。孰知其故？誰能知天意之故而不犯？是以聖人猶難之。言聖人之明德猶難於勇敢，況無聖人之德而欲行之乎？天之道，不爭而善勝，天不與人爭貴賤，而人自畏之。不言而善應，天不言，萬物自動以應時。不召而自來，天不呼召，萬物皆負陰而向陽。繟然而善謀。繟，寬也。天道雖寬博，善謀慮人事，修善行惡，各蒙其報也。天網恢恢，疏而不失。天所網羅恢恢甚大，雖疏遠，司察人善惡，無有所失。 |
| Those who act boldly and recklessly will be killed. If one is brave and takes action, it may lead to their own death. Those who are bold yet cautious will survive. If one is courageous but acts with restraint, they preserve their life. These two approaches, refer to daring and refraining from daring. One brings benefit while the other brings harm. Preserving one's life is beneficial; losing one's life is harmful. This is what Heaven abhors. It refers to reckless action. Who can know the reason for this? Who could understand Heaven's will and thus avoid transgression? Therefore, even a sage finds it difficult. It means that even with the enlightened virtue of a sage, boldness is still difficult; how much more so for those without the virtue of a sage who wish to act in such a way? The Way of Heaven is not to contend yet always prevail. Heaven does not compete with people over status, yet people naturally revere it. It speaks not yet responds well. Heaven says nothing, yet all things move in accordance with the seasons. Unsummoned, it comes of its own accord. Heaven makes no call, yet all things turn toward the sun while carrying yin within them. It appears relaxed yet is excellent at planning. Chǎn, meaning broad or spacious. Although the Way of Heaven is vast and inclusive, it is good at considering human affairs; those who cultivate virtue or commit evil deeds each receive their due recompense. The heavenly net is vast and loose, yet nothing escapes from it. Heaven's web of capture is very broad; although seemingly loose and distant, it oversees human good and evil deeds without fail. |
