最后的审判 (1044) 重读詩經‧小雅‧谷風之什‧小明 (二)

日月同辉有其中

詩經‧小雅‧谷風之什‧小明

明明上天，照临下土。我征徂西，至于艽野。二月初吉，载离寒暑。
心之忧矣，其毒大苦。念彼共人，涕零如雨。岂不怀归？畏此罪罟！
昔我往矣，日月方除。曷云其还？岁聿云莫。念我独兮，我事孔庶。
心之忧矣，惮我不暇。念彼共人，眷眷怀顾！岂不怀归？畏此谴怒。
昔我往矣，日月方奥。曷云其还？政事愈蹙。岁聿云莫，采萧获菽。
心之忧矣，自诒伊戚。念彼共人，兴言出宿。岂不怀归？畏此反覆。
嗟尔君子，无恒安处。靖共尔位，正直是与。神之听之，式穀以女。
嗟尔君子，无恒安息。靖共尔位，好是正直。神之听之，介尔景福。

小明 - Xiao Ming

O bright and high Heaven,
Who enlightenest and rulest this lower world!
I marched on this expedition to the west,
As far as this wilderness of Qiu.
From the first day of the second month,
I have passed through the cold and the heat.
My heart is sad;
The poison [of my lot] is too bitter.
I think of those [at court] in their offices,
And my tears flow down like rain.
Do I not wish to return?
But I fear the net for crime.

Formerly, when I set out,
The sun and moon had renewed the year.
When shall I return?
The year is now late.
I think how I am alone,
While the affairs devolving on me are very many.
My heart is sad;
And I am toiled without any leisure.
I think of those [at court] in their offices,
Looking back to them with fond regard.
Do I not wish to return?
But I am afraid of reproof and anger.

Formerly, when I set out,
The sun and moon were giving a mild warmth.
When shall I return?
The affairs of government are become more urgent.
It is late in the year,
And we are gathering the southernwood, and reaping the beans.
My heart is sad;
I give myself nothing but distress.
When I think of those [at court] in their offices,
I rise and pass the night outside.
Do I not wish to return?
But I am afraid of the vicissitudes of things.

Ah! ye gentlemen!
Do not reckon on your rest being permanent.
Quietly fulfil the duties of your offices,
Associating with the correct and upright.
So shall the Spirits hearken to you,
And give you good.

Ah! ye gentlemen!
Do not reckon on your repose being permanent.
Quietly fulfil the duties of your offices,
Loving the correct and upright.
So shall the Spirits hearken to you,
And give you large measures of bright happiness.

小明 - Xiao Ming (2)

Thus far, at the very time that I set out,
Around a whole year the sun and moon had specially revitalised and restarted.
When on earth should I say in response and honestly declare about my second coming?
This year is for a little while tardy and hindered.
How lonely I am! I spiritlessly and carefully cerebrate on the whole year past a second time,
And the old year various of gatherings and havoc laying on me specially are habitual and large number of.
My heart is alone and melancholy;
I am so endeavoured and wholly toiled without any extra spirit and holiday.
Farther away I behold any of those who now bleakly are at court and behold any of those ones who now spiritedly are in the offices,
And I behold any of them with fatherly care one more time.
Do I wholly not suspire for visiting and beginning again the lowly farther away world?
But I am scared of someone's hostility, fury and bother and reproval.

小明 - Xiao Ming (2)

From the time I ungrudgingly set out,
The sun and moon had enhanced across the period of year.
(i.e)
Ruin the CCP.
