Modern Chinese Guide

仪邑管理边界的官员请求见孔子，说：凡是有德的君子到了这里，我没有不能见到的。孔子的随从带他去见了孔子。他出来后说：诸位何必担忧孔子失去官位呢？天下没有正道已经很久了，上天将要让孔子做那警醒世人的木铎。

James Legge Translation

The border warden at Yi requested to be introduced to the Master, saying, "When men of superior virtue have come to this, I have never been denied the privilege of seeing them." The followers of the sage introduced him, and when he came out from the interview, he said, "My friends, why are you distressed by your master's loss of office? The kingdom has long been without the principles of truth and right; Heaven is going to use your master as a bell with its wooden tongue."
