From around the galaxies may the devas come here.
May they listen to the True Dhamma of the King of Sages,
Leading to heaven & emancipation.

愿宇宙间诸天来此，

愿他们聆听牟尼王[圣贤之王]，

    那趋向天界与解脱的真法。

And the earth-devas, spirits, heavenly minstrels, & nagas
In water, on land, in badlands, & nearby:
May they come & listen with approval
As I recite the word of the excellent sage.

还有那地居神，

    水陆荒郊的夜叉、乾踏婆、龙族，

在我持诵殊胜牟尼之经时，

    愿他们前来聆听、赞叹。

This is the time to listen to the Dhamma, Venerable Sirs.
This is the time to listen to the Dhamma, Venerable Sirs.
This is the time to listen to the Dhamma, Venerable Sirs.

尊者们，这是闻法时刻。

尊者们，这是闻法时刻。

尊者们，这是闻法时刻。

Dhamma-cakkappavattana Sutta  Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion 转法轮经

[Evam-me sutaṃ,] Ekaṃ samayaṃ Bhagavā,
Bārāṇasiyaṃ viharati isipatane migadāye.
Tatra kho Bhagavā pañca-vaggiye bhikkhū āmantesi.

I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying at Varanasi
in the Game Refuge at Isipatana. There he addressed the group of five monks:

[如是我闻]，一时薄伽梵住波罗那斯仙人坠的鹿野苑。在那里，薄伽梵对五众比丘说：

"Dveme bhikkhave antā pabbajitena na sevitabbā,

"There are these two extremes that are not to be indulged in by one who has gone forth —

"比丘们，有此两极端，隐者[出家者]不可耽于其中──

Yo cāyaṃ kāmesu kāma-sukhallikānuyogo,
Hīno gammo pothujjaniko anariyo anattha-sañhito,

That which is devoted to sensual pleasure in sensual objects: base, vulgar, common, ignoble, unprofitable;

于感官对象， 追求感官之乐：是低级、粗鄙、庸俗、非圣、无益的;

Yo cāyaṃ atta-kilamathānuyogo,
Dukkho anariyo anattha-sañhito.

and that which is devoted to self-affliction: painful, ignoble, unprofitable.

追求自虐：是痛苦、非圣、无益的。
 

Ete te bhikkhave ubho ante anupagamma,
Majjhimā paṭipadā tathāgatena abhisambuddhā,
Cakkhu-karaṇī ñāṇa-karaṇī upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati.

Avoiding both of these extremes, the middle way realized by the Tathagata — producing vision, producing knowledge — leads to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding.

比丘们，避此两极端，如来实现的中道——引生见、引生知，趋向宁静、直觉智、自觉醒、涅槃[解缚]。

Katamā ca sā bhikkhave majjhimā paṭipadā tathāgatena abhisambuddhā,
Cakkhu-karaṇī ñāṇa-karaṇī upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati.

And what is the middle way realized by the Tathagata that — producing vision, producing knowledge — leads to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding?

比丘们，如来实现的中道——引生见、引生知，趋向宁静、直觉智、自觉醒、涅槃者——是什么？

Ayam-eva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo,
Seyyathīdaṃ,
Sammā-diṭṭhi sammā-saṅkappo,
Sammā-vācā sammā-kammanto sammā-ājīvo,
Sammā-vāyāmo sammā-sati sammā-samādhi.

Precisely this Noble Eightfold Path: right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

正是此八圣道：正见、正志、正语、正业、正命、正精进、正念、正定。

Ayaṃ kho sā bhikkhave majjhimā paṭipadā tathāgatena abhisambuddhā,
Cakkhu-karaṇī ñāṇa-karaṇī upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṃvattati.

This is the middle way realized by the Tathagata that — producing vision,producing knowledge — leads to calm, to direct knowledge, to self-awakening, to Unbinding.

比丘们，如来实现的中道——引生见、引生知，趋向宁静、直觉智、自觉醒、涅槃——即此:
 

Idaṃ kho pana bhikkhave dukkhaṃ ariya-saccaṃ,

Now this, monks, is the noble truth of stress:

比丘们，此为苦圣谛：

Jātipi dukkhā jarāpi dukkhā maraṇampi dukkhaṃ,

Birth is stressful, aging is stressful, death is stressful,

生苦、老苦、死苦，
 

Soka-parideva-dukkha-domanassupāyāsāpi dukkhā,

Sorrow, lamentation, pain, distress, & despair are stressful,

忧、哀、痛、悲、惨苦；

Appiyehi sampayogo dukkho piyehi vippayogo dukkho yamp'icchaṃ na labhati tampi dukkhaṃ,

Association with things disliked is stressful, separation from things liked is stressful, not getting what one wants is stressful,

与不爱者共处苦、与爱者离别苦、所求不得苦：
 

Saṅkhittena pañcupādānakkhandhā dukkhā.

In short, the five clinging-aggregates are stressful.

简言之，五取蕴苦。
 

Idaṃ kho pana bhikkhave dukkha-samudayo ariya-saccaṃ,

And this, monks, is the noble truth of the origination of stress:

比丘们, 此为苦因圣谛：
 

Yāyaṃ taṇhā ponobbhavikā nandi-rāga-sahagatā tatra tatrābhinandinī,
Seyyathīdaṃ,
Kāma-taṇhā bhava-taṇhā vibhava-taṇhā,

the craving that makes for further becoming — accompanied by passion & delight, relishing now here & now there — i.e., craving for sensual pleasure, craving for becoming, craving for no-becoming.

[苦因是:]造作再生的渴求——带着贪与喜、于处处耽享——正是: 对感官之欲的渴求、对有的渴求、对无有的渴求[欲爱,有爱,无有爱]。

Idaṃ kho pana bhikkhave dukkha-nirodho ariya-saccaṃ,

And this, monks, is the noble truth of the cessation of stress:

比丘们，此为苦的止息圣谛：
 

Yo tassā yeva taṇhāya asesa-virāga-nirodho cāgo paṭinissaggo mutti anālayo,

the remainderless fading & cessation, renunciation, relinquishment, release,& letting go of that very craving.

对该渴求的无余离贪、止息、舍离、弃 绝、解脱、放开。

Idaṃ kho pana bhikkhave dukkha-nirodha-gāminī-paṭipadā ariya-saccaṃ,

And this, monks, is the noble truth of the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress:

比丘们，此为趋向止息苦之道圣谛：

Ayam-eva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo,
Seyyathīdaṃ,
Sammā-diṭṭhi sammā-saṅkappo,
Sammā-vācā sammā-kammanto sammā-ājīvo,
Sammā-vāyāmo sammā-sati sammā-samādhi.

precisely this Noble Eightfold Path — right view, right resolve, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration.

正是此八圣道——正见、正志、正语、正业、正命、正精进、正念、正定。
 

Idaṃ dukkhaṃ ariya-saccanti me bhikkhave,

Taṃ kho pan'idaṃ dukkha-samudayo ariya-saccaṃ pahīnanti me bhikkhave,

Yāvakīvañca me bhikkhave imesu catūsu ariya-saccesu,
Evan-ti-parivaṭṭaṃ dvādas'ākāraṃ yathābhūtaṃ ñāṇa-dassanaṃ na suvisuddhaṃ ahosi,
Neva tāvāhaṃ bhikkhave sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake,
Sassamaṇa-brāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadeva-manussāya,
Anuttaraṃ sammā-sambodhiṃ abhisambuddho paccaññāsiṃ.

And, monks, as long as this knowledge & vision of mine — with its three rounds & twelve permutations concerning these four noble truths as they actually are — was not pure, I did not claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its deities, Maras, & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & priests, its royalty & common people.

比丘们，只要我对此四圣谛之三转十二相的如实知见尚不纯净，比丘们，我未在有天神摩罗梵天、沙门婆罗门、贵族平民的宇宙间宣称己直觉此无上正自觉醒。

Yato ca kho me bhikkhave imesu catūsu ariya-saccesu,
Evan-ti-parivaṭṭaṃ dvādas'ākāraṃ yathābhūtaṃ ñāṇa-dassanaṃ suvisuddhaṃ ahosi,
Athāhaṃ bhikkhave sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake,
Sassamaṇa-brāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadeva-manussāya,
Anuttaraṃ sammā-sambodhiṃ abhisambuddho paccaññāsiṃ.

But as soon as this knowledge & vision of mine — with its three rounds & twelve permutations concerning these four noble truths as they actually are — was truly pure, then I did claim to have directly awakened to the right self-awakening unexcelled in the cosmos with its deities, Maras, & Brahmas, with its contemplatives & priests, its royalty & commonfolk.

然而，一旦我对此四圣谛之三转十二相的如实知见真正纯净，比丘们，我即在有天神摩罗梵天、沙门婆罗门、贵族平民的宇宙间宣称己直觉此无上正自觉醒。

Ñāṇañca pana me dassanaṃ udapādi,
Akuppā me vimutti,
Ayam-antimā jāti,
N'atthidāni punabbhavoti."

The knowledge & vision arose in me: 'My release is unshakable. This is the last birth. There is now no further becoming.'"

我内心升起此知见: ‘我的解脱不可动摇。此为最后一生。今不再有生。’ ”
 

Idam-avoca Bhagavā,
Attamanā pañca-vaggiyā bhikkhū Bhagavato bhāsitaṃ abhinanduṃ.

That is what the Blessed One said. Gratified, the group of five monks delighted at his words.

此为薄伽梵所说。五众比丘对薄伽梵之说随喜、心悦。

Imasmiñca pana veyyā-karaṇasmiṃ bhaññamāne,
Āyasmato Koṇḍaññassa virajaṃ vītamalaṃ dhamma-cakkhuṃ udapādi,

And while this explanation was being given, there arose to Ven. Kondañña the dustless, stainless Dhamma eye:

在此解说期间，尊者乔陈如升起了无尘、无垢的法眼：
 

Yaṅkiñci samudaya-dhammaṃ sabban-taṃ nirodha-dhammanti.

"Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation."

“凡 缘起者，皆趋止息。”[凡缘起或有因之法,皆为止息之法]

Pavattite ca Bhagavatā dhamma-cakke,
Bhummā devā saddamanussāvesuṃ,

Now when the Blessed One had set the Wheel of Dhamma in motion, the earth deities cried out:

薄伽梵转法轮之际，地神们大呼:

"Etam-Bhagavatā Bārāṇasiyaṃ isipatane migadāye anuttaraṃ dhamma-cakkaṃ pavattitaṃ,
Appaṭivattiyaṃ samaṇena vā brāhmaṇena vā devena vā mārena vā brahmunā vā kenaci vā lokasminti."

"At Varanasi, in the Game Refuge at Isipatana, the Blessed One has set in motion the unexcelled Wheel of Dhamma that cannot be stopped by priest or contemplative, deity, Māra, Brahma, or anyone at all in the cosmos."

“ 在波罗那斯仙人坠的鹿野苑，薄伽梵转起无上法轮，沙门婆罗门、天神摩罗梵天、宇宙中任何者，皆不能阻止。”　

Bhummānaṃ devānaṃ saddaṃ sutvā,
Cātummahārājikā devā saddamanussāvesuṃ.

On hearing the earth deities' cry, the deities of the Heaven of the Four Kings took up the cry.

闻地神之呼声，四大王天们大呼。

Cātummahārājikānaṃ devānaṃ saddaṃ sutvā,
Tāvatiṃsā devā saddamanussāvesuṃ.

On hearing the cry of the deities of the Heaven of the Four Kings, the deities of the Heaven of the Thirty-three took up the cry.

闻四大王天之呼声，三十三天们大呼。

Tāvatiṃsānaṃ devānaṃ saddaṃ sutvā,
Yāmā devā saddamanussāvesuṃ.

On hearing the cry of the deities of the Heaven of the Thirty-three, the Yama deities took up the cry.
