孙子曰:兵者,国之大事,死生之地,存亡之道,不可不察也。

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。

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。

势者,因利而制权也。

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.

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
孙子曰: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。
SunTzusaid:Intheoperationsofwar,wherethereareinthefieldathousandswiftchariots,asmanyheavychariots,andahundredthousandmail-cladsoldiers,withprovisionsenoughtocarrythemathousandli,theexpenditureathomeandatthefront,includingentertainmentofguests,smallitemssuchasglueandpaint,andsumsspentonchariotsandarmor,willreachthetotalofathousandouncesofsilverperday.Suchisthecostofraisinganarmyof100,000men.
其用战也,胜久则钝兵挫锐,攻城则力屈,
Whenyouengageinactualfighting,ifvictoryislongincoming,thenmen''sweaponswillgrowdullandtheirardorwillbedamped.Ifyoulaysiegetoatown,youwillexhaustyourstrength.
久暴师则国用不足。
Again,ifthecampaignisprotracted,theresourcesoftheStatewillnotbeequaltothestrain.
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。
Now,whenyourweaponsaredulled,yourardordamped,yourstrengthexhaustedandyourtreasurespent,otherchieftainswillspringuptotakeadvantageofyourextremity.Thennoman,howeverwise,willbeabletoaverttheconsequencesthatmustensue.
故兵闻拙速,未睹巧之久也。
Thus,thoughwehaveheardofstupidhasteinwar,clevernesshasneverbeenseenassociatedwithlongdelays.
夫兵久而国利者,未之有也。
Thereisnoinstanceofacountryhavingbenefitedfromprolongedwarfare.
故不尽知用兵之害者,则不能尽知用兵之利也。
Itisonlyonewhoisthoroughlyacquaintedwiththeevilsofwarthatcanthoroughlyunderstandtheprofitablewayofcarryingiton.
善用兵者,役不再籍,粮不三载,
Theskillfulsoldierdoesnotraiseasecondlevy,neitherarehissupply-wagonsloadedmorethantwice.
