KLIC: Sun Tzu ch1 v5-11





Here's more... I want your comments!

[Hey... I just noticed that the Word of the Day was
/ghob/... which is what I used to translate "Tao".  Must be a 
sign from Kahless.]


     5,  6.  The MORAL LAW causes the people to be in complete 
accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless 
of their lives, undismayed by any danger. 
/nugh rewbe'pu' qumwI' je tay'moHqu' <<ghob>>.  qumwI'chaj
lulob, Heghqang chaH, 'ej ghIjlaHbe' Qob./

     7.  HEAVEN signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and 
seasons. 
/ram pem je, Hat bIr, Hat tuj je, poHHom poH'a' je 'oS
<<ngeHbej>>./
 
     8.  EARTH comprises distances, great and small; danger and 
security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and 
death. 
/chuq chuq'a' chuqHom je, Qob roj je, yotlh 'och je,
yIn 'eb, Hegh 'eb je ngaS <<che'ron>>./

     9.  The COMMANDER stands for the virtues of   wisdom, 
sincerity, benevolence, courage and strictness. 
/ghob yajchu' <<ra'wI'>>, 'Il, vIDHa', yoH, 'ej moSQo' ghaH./

     10.  By METHOD AND DISCIPLINE are to be understood the 
marshaling   of the army in its proper   subdivisions,   the 
graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads 
by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military 
expenditure. 
/mangghom 'ay'meyna' vu'lu'DI', yaSpu'vaD patlh noblu'DI',
mangghomvaD tep ngeHmeH Quv SImlu'DI', QI' Huch malja' 
Huqchu'DI', <<nab Sun je>> qellu'bej./

     11.  These five heads should be familiar to every general:  
he who knows them will be victorious; he who knows them not will 
fail. 
/vagh qechmeyvam yajchu'nIS Hoch Sa'.  Sovchugh Sa', 
Qapbej Sa'.  Sovbe'chugh Sa', lujbej Sa'./


To be continued...


p.s. /che'ron/ "battlefield" reminds me of the fields of
Sharon in Israel... though it's probably a coincidence.
