【Biography】
十七年春，晋荀林父、卫孔达、陈公孙宁、郑石楚伐宋。讨曰：“何故弑君！”犹立文公而还，卿不书，失其所也。
In the spring of the seventeenth year, Jin Xun Linfu, Wei Kongda, Chen Gongsun Ning, and Zheng Shichu attacked the Song Dynasty. He asked: "Why did you kill the king?" He still established Duke Wen and returned, but the minister did not write the letter, so he lost his place.
十七年春季，晋国荀林父、卫国孔达、陈国公孙宁、郑国石楚联军攻打宋国，质问说：“为什么杀死你们国君？”还是立了宋文公而回国。《春秋》没有记载卿的姓名，这是由于他们改变初衷。
In the spring of the seventeenth year, the allied forces of Xun Linfu of the Jin State, Kong Da of the Wei State, Sun Ning of the Chen State, and Shi Chu of the Zheng State attacked the Song State. They asked: "Why did you kill your monarch?" He still appointed Song Wengong and returned to the country. "Spring and Autumn" does not record Qing's name. This is because they changed their original intention.
夏四月癸亥，葬声姜。有齐难，是以缓。
In the fourth month of summer, Guihai, the sound of ginger is buried. If there are difficulties, we can ease them.
夏季，四月初四日，安葬声姜。由于有齐国攻战造成的困难，因此推迟。
In summer, on the fourth day of April, Shengjiang was buried. Due to the difficulties caused by Qi's attack, it was postponed.
齐侯伐我北鄙，襄仲请盟。六月，盟于谷。
The Marquis of Qi attacked me in the north, and Xiang Zhong asked for an alliance. In June, they allied themselves in the valley.
齐懿公攻打我国北部边境，襄仲请求结盟。六月，在穀地结盟。
Qi Yigong attacked the northern border of our country, and Xiang Zhong requested an alliance. In June, an alliance was formed in the valley.
晋侯蒐于黄父，遂复合诸侯于扈，平宋也。公不与会，齐难故也。书曰“诸侯”，无功也。
The princes of Jin searched for Huang Fu, and then reunited the princes with Hu, thus pacifying the Song Dynasty. If you don't attend the meeting, it will be difficult for you to get together. The book says "princes", which means they have no merit.
晋灵公在黄父阅兵，就因此再次在扈地会合诸侯，这是为了和宋国讲和。鲁文公没有参加会合，这是由于发生了齐国征战造成的困难的缘故。《春秋》记载说“诸侯”而不记名字，这是讥讽他们并没有取得成效。
Jin Linggong was in Huangfu's military parade, so he met the princes again in Hudi in order to make peace with the Song Dynasty. Duke Wen of Lu did not participate in the rendezvous. This was due to the difficulties caused by the Qi State's campaign. "Spring and Autumn" records that "princes" do not remember their names, which is a mockery of their failure to achieve results.
于是，晋侯不见郑伯，以为贰于楚也。
Therefore, the Marquis of Jin did not see Uncle Zheng, thinking that he was in Chu.
当时，晋灵公拒绝会见郑穆公，以为他背晋而亲楚。
At that time, Duke Linggong of Jin refused to meet Duke Mu of Zheng, thinking that he was going behind Jin's back and marrying Chu.
郑子家使执讯而与之书，以告赵宣子，曰：“寡君即位三年，召蔡侯而与之事君。九月，蔡侯入于敝邑以行。敝邑以侯宣多之难，寡君是以不得与蔡侯偕。十一月，克灭侯宣多而随蔡侯以朝于执事。十二年六月，归生佐寡君之嫡夷，以请陈侯于楚而朝诸君。十四年七月，寡君又朝，以蒇陈事。十五年五月，陈侯自敝邑往朝于君。往年正月，烛之武往朝夷也。八月，寡君又往朝。以陈、蔡之密迩于楚而不敢贰焉，则敝邑之故也。虽敝邑之事君，何以不免？在位之中，一朝于襄，而再见于君。夷与孤之二三臣相及于绛，虽我小国，则蔑以过之矣。今大国曰：‘尔未逞吾志。’敝邑有亡，无以加焉。古人有言曰：‘畏首畏尾，身其余几。’又曰：‘鹿死不择音。’小国之事大国也，德，则其人也；不德，则其鹿也，铤而走险，急何能择？命之罔极，亦知亡矣。将悉敝赋以待于鯈，唯执事命之。文公二年六月壬申，朝于齐。四年二月壬戌，为齐侵蔡，亦获成于楚。居大国之间而従于强令，岂其罪也。大国若弗图，无所逃命。”晋巩朔行成于郑，赵穿、公婿池为质焉。
The envoy of Zheng Zi's family took charge of the interrogation and wrote to Zhao Xuanzi, saying: "Three years after I took the throne, I called Marquis Cai to serve with you. In September, Marquis Cai came to our city to travel. Our city was in trouble because the marquis Xuanduo was in trouble, so I could not stay with Marquis Cai. In November, I defeated the marquis Xuanduo and followed Cai Hou to serve as the deacon. In June of the twelfth year, I returned to the Yi Yi who was the auxiliary of the emperor, and asked Chen Hou to come to the court. In the seventh month of the fourteenth year of the Chu Dynasty, I went to court again, and in May of the fifteenth year, Chen Hou went to court from his hometown. In the first month of the previous year, Zhu Zhiwu went to court in August. , The widow went to court again. Because Chen and Cai were close to Chu and did not dare to visit each other, it was because of the loss of the city. Why was it unavoidable to meet the emperor once he was in power? Yu Jun. The two and three ministers of Yi and Gu are in contact with each other. Although we are a small country, they are scornful. Now the big country said: "You have not fulfilled my ambition." It is said: "If you are afraid of your head and tail, you will be left alone." He also said: "The deer will not care about the sound." If a small country is a big country, then its people will be virtuous; if it is not virtuous, it will be like a deer, and it will take risks. How can I choose if I am in a hurry? I know that I will die. I will be sent to Min, but I will be sent to Renshen in the second year of the year, and I will invade Qi in the second month of the fourth year. Cai was also successful in Chu. It is not a sin to live among the great powers and succumb to forced orders. If a great power has no plans, there is nothing to escape. "Gongshuo of Jin Dynasty succeeded to Zheng, and Zhao Chuan and Gong Xuchi were in charge.
郑国的子家派通信使者去晋国，并且给他一封信，告诉赵宣子，说：我郑国国君即位三年，召了蔡侯和他一起事奉贵国君主。九月，蔡侯来到敝邑前去贵国。敝邑由于侯宣多造成的祸难，我君因此而不能和蔡侯一同前来。十一月，消灭了侯宣多，就随同蔡侯而向执事朝觐。十二年六月，归生辅佐我君的长子夷，到楚国请求陈侯一同朝见贵国君主。十四年七月，我君又向贵国君主朝见，以完成关于陈国的事情。十五年五月，陈侯从我国前去朝见贵国君主。去年正月，烛之武前去贵国，这是为了使夷前往朝见贵国君主。八月，我君又前去朝见。因陈、蔡两国紧紧挨着楚国而不敢对晋有二心，那是由于我们的缘故。为什么唯独我们这样事奉贵国君主，反而不能免于祸患呢？我郑君在位期间，一次朝见贵国先君襄公，两次朝见现在的君主。夷和我的几个臣下紧接着到绛城来。我郑国虽然是个小国，却没有谁能比我国对贵国更有诚意了。如今大国说：‘你没有能让我称心如意。’敝邑只有等待灭亡，也不能再增加一点什么了。古人有话说：‘怕头怕尾，剩下来的身子还有多少？’又说：‘鹿在临死前，顾不上选择庇护的地方。’小国事奉大国，如果大国以德相待，小国就会以人道相事奉；如果不是以德相待，那就会像鹿一样，狂奔走险，急迫的时候，哪里还能选择地方？贵国的命令没有止境，我们也知道面临灭亡了，只好准备派出敝邑全部的士兵在鯈地等待。该怎么办，就听凭您的命令吧！我郑文公二年六月二十日，曾到齐国朝见。四年二月某一天，为齐国进攻蔡国，也和楚国取得讲和。处于齐、楚两个大国之间而屈从于强国的命令，这难道是我们的罪过吗？大国如果不加谅解，我们是没有地方可以逃避你们的命令了。”晋国的巩朔到郑国讲和修好，赵穿，公婿池作为人质。
The Zi family of Zheng State sent a messenger to Jin State and gave him a letter, telling Zhao Xuanzi: Three years after I came to the throne of Zheng State, I summoned Marquis Cai to serve your monarch with him. In September, Marquis Cai came to our city to go to your country. Due to the disaster caused by Hou Xuanduo in our city, I, the king, cannot come with Cai Hou. In November, after Hou Xuanduo was eliminated, he followed Cai Hou to make a pilgrimage to the deacon. In the sixth month of the twelfth year, Yi, the eldest son who returned to life to assist my king, went to Chu State to ask Chen Hou to come with him to see the king of your country. In July of the fourteenth year, I, your Majesty, went to court again with the monarch of your country to complete matters concerning the State of Chen. In May of the fifteenth year, Marquis Chen came from our country to pay homage to the monarch of your country. In the first month of last year, Zhu Zhiwu went to your country to enable the barbarians to pay homage to the monarch of your country. In August, I went to see you again. Because Chen and Cai are close to Chu and do not dare to have second thoughts about Jin, it is because of us. Why are we the only ones who serve your monarch like this and are not immune to disaster? During my reign, Lord Zheng, I had an audience with your country’s ancestor Xianggong once and two times with the current monarch. Yi and several of my subordinates came to Jiangcheng immediately. Although our country, Zheng, is a small country, no one can be more sincere to your country than our country. Now the great powers say: ‘You cannot satisfy me. ’ Our city can only wait for destruction and cannot add anything more. There is an ancient saying: 'If you are afraid of the head and the tail, how much of your body will be left? ’ He also said: ‘Before the deer dies, it doesn’t care about choosing a place to shelter. 'Small countries serve big countries. If big countries treat each other with virtue, small countries will serve each other with humanity. If we don't treat each other with kindness, we will be like a deer, running wildly into danger. Where can we choose a place when we are in a hurry? Your country's orders have no end, and we also know that we are facing destruction, so we have to prepare to send all our soldiers to wait in Minchi. What to do, just follow your orders! On June 20, the second year of Zheng Wengong's reign, I went to the State of Qi to pay homage. One day in February of the fourth year, he attacked Cai for Qi and made peace with Chu. Is it our sin to submit to the orders of a powerful country while being between Qi and Chu? If the big countries don't show understanding, there will be no place for us to escape your orders. "Gong Shuo of Jin State went to Zheng State to make peace with Zhao Chuan and his son-in-law Chi as hostages.
秋，周甘歜（chù）败戎于邥（shěn）垂，乘其饮酒也。
In autumn, Zhou Ganzha (chù) defeated Rong in Shuchui (shěn) and took advantage of them to drink wine.
秋季，周朝的甘歜在邥垂打败戎人，一战取胜是由于趁着戎人正在喝酒而用兵。
In autumn, Gan Zha of the Zhou Dynasty defeated the Rong people in Xuchui. He won the battle because he used his troops while the Rong people were drinking.
冬十月，郑大子夷、石楚为质于晋。
In the tenth month of winter, Zheng Dazi Yi and Shi Chu were pledged to Jin.
冬季，十一月，郑国的太子夷、大夫石楚到晋国作为人质。
In winter, in November, Prince Yi and Shi Chu of the State of Zheng came to the State of Jin as hostages.
襄仲如齐，拜谷之盟。复曰：“臣闻齐人将食鲁之麦。以臣观之，将不能。齐君之语偷。臧文仲有言曰：‘民主偷必死’。”
Xiangzhong is like Qi, and he is an alliance of worship valley. He replied: "I have heard that the people of Qi will eat the wheat of Lu. As I observe, they will not be able to do so. The king of Qi steals. Zang Wenzhong once said: 'If democracy steals, it will lead to death.'"
襄仲到齐国去，拜谢穀地的结盟。回来说：“下臣听说齐国人将要吃鲁国的麦子。据下臣看来，恐怕做不到。齐国国君的话极不严肃。臧文仲曾说过：‘百姓的主人说话不严肃，必然很快就会死。’”
Xiang Zhong went to Qi State to thank Gu Di for his alliance. He came back and said: "I heard that the people of Qi will eat the wheat of Lu. According to my opinion, I am afraid that it can't be done. The words of the king of Qi are extremely unserious. Zang Wenzhong once said: 'The master of the people who speaks unseriously will surely die soon.'"
