故经之以五事,校之以计,而索其情:
一曰道,二曰天,三曰地,四曰将,五曰法。
Theartofwar,then,isgovernedbyfiveconstantfactors,tobetakenintoaccountinone'
sdeliberations,whenseekingtodeterminetheconditionsobtaininginthefield.
Theseare:
(1)TheMoralLaw;
(2)Heaven;
(3)Earth;
(4)TheCommander;
(5)Methodanddiscipline.
道者,令民于上同意,可与之死,可与之生,而不危也;
TheMoralLawcausesthepeopletobeincompleteaccordwiththeirruler,sothattheywillfollowhimregardlessoftheirlives,undismayedbyanydanger.
天者,阴阳、寒暑、时制也;
Heavensignifiesnightandday,coldandheat,timesandseasons.
地者,远近、险易、广狭、死生也;
Earthcomprisesdistances,greatandsmall;
dangerandsecurity;
opengroundandnarrowpasses;
thechancesoflifeanddeath.
将者,智、信、仁、勇、严也;
TheCommanderstandsforthevirtuesofwisdom,sincerely,benevolence,courageandstrictness.
法者,曲制、官道、主用也。
Bymethodanddisciplinearetobeunderstoodthemarshalingofthearmyinitspropersubdivisions,thegraduationsofrankamongtheofficers,themaintenanceofroadsbywhichsuppliesmayreachthearmy,andthecontrolofmilitaryexpenditure.
凡此五者,将莫不闻,知之者胜,不知之者不胜。
Thesefiveheadsshouldbefamiliartoeverygeneral:
hewhoknowsthemwillbevictorious;
hewhoknowsthemnotwillfail.
故校之以计,而索其情,曰:
主孰有道?
Therefore,inyourdeliberations,whenseekingtodeterminethemilitaryconditions,letthembemadethebasisofacomparison,inthiswise:
——
将孰有能?
天地孰得?
法令孰行?
兵众孰强?
士卒孰练?
赏罚孰明?
吾以此知胜负矣。

计利以听,乃为之势,以佐其外。
Whileheadingtheprofitofmycounsel,availyourselfalsoofanyhelpfulcircumstancesoverandbeyondtheordinaryrules.
势者,因利而制权也。

splans.
兵者,诡道也。
Allwarfareisbasedondeception.
故能而示之不能,用而示之不用,近而示之远,远而示之近。
Hence,whenabletoattack,wemustseemunable;
whenusingourforces,wemustseeminactive;
whenwearenear,wemustmaketheenemybelievewearefaraway;
whenfaraway,wemustmakehimbelievewearenear.
利而诱之,乱而取之,
Holdoutbaitstoenticetheenemy.Feigndisorder,andcrushhim.
实而备之,强而避之,
Ifheissecureatallpoints,bepreparedforhim.Ifheisinsuperiorstrength,evadehim.
怒而挠之,卑而骄之,
Ifyouropponentisofcholerictemper,seektoirritatehim.Pretendtobeweak,thathemaygrowarrogant.
佚而劳之,亲而离之,
Ifheistakinghisease,givehimnorest.Ifhisforcesareunited,separatethem.
攻其无备,出其不意。
Attackhimwhereheisunprepared,appearwhereyouarenotexpected.
此兵家之胜,不可先传也。
Thesemilitarydevices,leadingtovictory,mustnotbedivulgedbeforehand.
夫未战而庙算胜者,得算多也;
未战而庙算不胜者,得算少也。
多算胜少算,而况于无算乎!
吾以此观之,胜负见矣。

作战第二
II.WagingWar
凡用兵之法,驰车千驷,革车千乘,带甲十万,千里馈粮。
则内外之费,宾客之用,胶
漆之材,车甲之奉,日费千金,然后十万之师举矣。

夫钝兵挫锐,屈力殚货,则诸侯乘其弊而起,虽有智者不能善其后矣。
