公伯寮愬子路于季孙，子服景伯以吿，曰，夫子固有惑志于公伯寮，吾力犹能肆诸市朝。子曰，道之将行也与，命也，道之将废也与，命也，公伯寮其如命何。
白话导读
公伯寮向季孙氏诬告子路。子服景伯把这件事告诉孔子，说：季孙氏已经被公伯寮的谗言迷惑而对子路起了疑心，但我的力量还能够把公伯寮杀掉，把他陈尸街头。孔子说：道能够推行，是命运决定的；道将要废弃，也是命运决定的。公伯寮又能把命运怎么样呢？
James Legge 英译
1. The Kung-po Liao, having slandered Tsze-lu to Chi-sun, Tsze-fu Ching-po informed Confucius of it, saying, "Our master is certainly being led astray by the Kung-po Liao, but I have still power enough left to cut Liao off, and expose his corpse in the market and in the court." 2. The Master said, "If my principles are to advance, it is so ordered. If they are to fall to the ground, it is so ordered. What can the Kung-po Liao do where such ordering is concerned?"
