دفتر چهارم - بخش ۴ - سؤال کردن از عیسی علیه‌السلام کی در وجود از همهٔ صعبها صعب‌تر چیست / Book Four - Section 4 - Asking Jesus, Peace Be Upon Him, What in Existence is the Most Difficult of All Difficulties

متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation

گفت عیسی را یکی هشیار سرچیست در هستی ز جمله صعب‌تر
One clear-headed soul asked Jesus:
"What in all of existence is the most difficult?"
گفتش ای جان صعب‌تر خشم خداکه از آن دوزخ همی لرزد چو ما
He said: "O soul, the most difficult is the wrath of God,
from which Hell itself trembles as we do."
گفت ازین خشم خدا چبود امانگفت ترک خشم خویش اندر زمان
He said: "From this wrath of God, what is the refuge?"
He said: "Abandoning one's own wrath at once."
پس عوان که معدن این خشم گشتخشم زشتش از سبع هم در گذشت
So the oppressor who became the mine of this wrath—
his ugly wrath surpassed even that of the beasts.
چه امیدستش به رحمت جز مگرباز گردد زان صفت آن بی‌هنر
What hope has he for mercy, unless
that graceless one turns back from that attribute?
گرچه عالم را ازیشان چاره نیستاین سخن اندر ضلال افکندنیست
Though the world cannot do without such men,
this speech is not one that should cast anyone into error.
چاره نبود هم جهان را از چمینلیک نبود آن چمین ماء معین
The world likewise could not do without hemlock,
yet that hemlock was not pure flowing water.
