BAGIAN 6
mn128:6.1 “Many voices shout at once,
mn128:6.2 yet no one thinks that they’re the fool.
mn128:6.3 Even as the Saṅgha splits,
mn128:6.4 they think no better of the other.
mn128:6.5 Dolts pretending to be astute,
mn128:6.6 they talk, their words out of bounds.
mn128:6.7 They blab at will, their mouths agape,
mn128:6.8 and not one knows what leads them on.
mn128:6.9 ‘They abused me, they hit me!
mn128:6.10 They beat me, they robbed me!’
mn128:6.11 For those bearing such a grudge,
mn128:6.12 hatred is never laid to rest.
mn128:6.13 ‘They abused me, they hit me!
mn128:6.14 They beat me, they robbed me!’
mn128:6.15 For those who bear no such grudge,
mn128:6.16 hatred is laid to rest.
mn128:6.17 For never is hatred
mn128:6.18 laid to rest by hate,
mn128:6.19 it’s laid to rest by love:
mn128:6.20 this is an ancient teaching.
mn128:6.21 When others do not understand,
mn128:6.22 let us, who do understand this,
mn128:6.23 restrain ourselves in this regard;
mn128:6.24 for that is how conflicts are laid to rest.
mn128:6.25 Breakers of bones and takers of life,
mn128:6.26 thieves of cattle, horses, wealth,
mn128:6.27 those who plunder the nation:
mn128:6.28 even they can come together,
mn128:6.29 so why can’t you?
mn128:6.30 If you find an alert companion,
mn128:6.31 an attentive friend to live happily together,
mn128:6.32 then, overcoming all adversities,
mn128:6.33 wander with them, joyful and mindful.
mn128:6.34 If you find no alert companion,
mn128:6.35 no attentive friend to live happily together,
mn128:6.36 then, like a king who flees his conquered realm,
mn128:6.37 wander alone like a tusker in the wilds.
mn128:6.38 It’s better to wander alone,
mn128:6.39 there’s no fellowship with fools.
mn128:6.40 Wander alone and do no wrong,
mn128:6.41 at ease like a tusker in the wilds.”
