一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
公伯寮愬子路於季孫。子服景伯以告，曰：夫子固有惑志於公伯寮，吾力猶能肆諸市朝。子曰：道之將行也與？命也。道之將廢也與？命也。公伯寮其如命何！Gongbo Liao slandered Zilu to Jisun. Zifu Jingbo reported it, saying: My master has certainly been misled by Gongbo Liao, but I still have the power to have his corpse displayed in the marketplace. The Master said: If the Way is to prevail, it is fate. If the Way is to be cast aside, it is fate. What can Gongbo Liao do against fate?
What this chapter says
一孔按：公伯寮在季孙面前诋毁子路，子服景伯说能杀了他陈尸。孔子说道行是命，道废也是命，公伯寮能把命怎样。不借人力报复，把成败交给命。常有人问“公伯寮在季孙面前诋毁子路，孔子为什么不让人替子路出头”，上面是一孔录的回答。

白Plain Chinese
公伯寮在季孙面前谗毁子路，子服景伯告诉孔子，季孙已受公伯寮的话迷惑，我还有力量杀他、陈尸示众；孔子说，道要推行或被废弃，都有命，公伯寮能把命怎么样？
