百喻经之四六：偷犛牛喻
英文：
Once there was a village whose people jointly participated in stealing a yak for food. the man who lost the yak followed their trail to the village. he called out to the villagers, "do you all live in this village?"
The villagers replied, "we live in no village."
Again the man asked, "there is a pond in your village. have you eaten the yak together on the side of the pond?"
Replied the people: "we know of no pond."
Again he asked, "is there any tree near the pond?"
They answered, "we know of no tree."
Again he asked, "were you on the east side of your village when you stole my yak?"
They answered, "we know of no east direction."
Again he asked, "wasn't it at noon when you stole my yak?"
They answered, "we know of no noon time."
Again he asked, "although it is possibly true of your first three answers, how can you say there is no direction and no time in all the world. now i know you are lying. so i don't believe you at all. sure enough, you have stolen my yak. haven't you?"
Thereupon, the stealer could not but admit it.
So are those who break commandments. people who hide their sins are reluctant to disclose them. they will, however, go to hell after their death. since devas and good gods possess supernatural eyes, people should not even try to deceive them just like the villagers should not refuse to admit stealing a yak for food.
古文：
譬如一村，共偷犛牛，而共食之。其失牛者，逐迹至村，唤此村人，问其由状，而语之言：鈥溤诙舜宀唬库��
偷者对曰：鈥溛沂滴薮濉ｂ��
又问：鈥湺逯杏谐兀诖顺乇吖彩撑２唬库��
答言：鈥溛蕹亍ｂ��
又问：鈥湷匕惺鞑唬库��
对言：鈥溛奘鳌ｂ��
又问：鈥溚蹬Ｖ保诙宥唬库��
对曰：鈥溛薅ｂ��
又问：鈥湹倍蹬＃侨罩惺币库��
对曰：鈥溛拗小ｂ��
又问：鈥溩菘晌薮澹耙晕奘鳎斡刑煜挛薅奘薄Ｖ铮疾豢尚拧６蹬Ｊ巢唬库��
对曰：鈥準凳场ｂ��
破戒之人，亦复如是。覆藏罪过，不肯发露，死于地狱。诸天善神以天眼观，不得覆藏，如彼食牛，不得欺拒。
译文：
譬如有一个村子的人联手偷了一头犛牛，一起吃了。丢牛的人循著足迹，找至村中，叫住这个村的人打听情况，问道：鈥溑Ｔ谡獯宀唬库�澩蹬Ｕ叽鸬溃衡�溛颐瞧涫得挥写遄印ｂ�澥е饔治剩衡�溎忝谴逯杏谐兀谀浅乇咭黄鸪粤苏馀２唬库�澊謇锶舜鸬溃衡�溍挥谐亍ｂ�澥е饔治剩衡�湷乇哂惺鞑唬库�澊謇锶舜鸬溃衡�溍挥惺鳌ｂ�澥е饔治剩衡�溎忝峭蹬Ｖ保诖遄佣卟唬库�澊謇锶舜鸬溃衡�溍挥卸摺ｂ�澥е饔治剩衡�湹蹦忝峭蹬５氖焙颍皇钦缏穑库�澊謇锶舜鸬溃衡�溍挥姓纭ｂ�澥е魑实溃衡�溩萑豢梢悦挥写澹挥惺鳎煜履目擅挥卸撸挥惺奔洌� 可见你们说谎了，完全不可相信。你们偷牛吃了不？鈥澊謇锶舜鸬溃衡�溔肥党粤恕ｂ��
破戒的人也是这样，把罪过掩盖藏匿起来，不肯发露，死后就堕入了地狱。诸天的善神以天眼来观察，就掩盖藏匿不了了，就如那些偷牛吃的人，无法欺骗抵赖了。
