リドきに

"Farewell!" he cried to them. "We may meet again as friends."

"Be off!" called Thorin. "You have mail upon you, which was made by my folk, and is too good for you. It cannot be pierced .by arrows; but if you do not hasten, I will sting your miserable feet. So be swift!"

秋，七月，己丑，纳太子妃王氏，金紫光禄大夫周之女也。

"Not so hasty!" said Bard. "We will give you until tomorrow.

At noon we will return, and see if you have brought from the hoard the portion that is to be set against the stone. If that is done without deceit, then we will depart, and the elf-host will go back to the Forest. In the meanwhile farewell!"

ヽスご゜てキポリ

With that they went back to the camp; but Thorin sent messengers by R(ac telling Dain of what had passed, and bidding him come with wary speed.

齐平秦王归彦至冀州，内不自安，欲待齐主如晋阳，乘虚入邺。其郎中令吕思礼告之。诏大司马段韶、司空娄叡讨之。归彦于南境置私驿，闻大军将至，卽闭城拒守。长史宇文仲鸾等不从，皆杀之。归彦自称大丞相，有众四万。齐主以都官尚书封子绘，冀州人，祖父世为本州岛刺史，得人心，使乘传至信都，巡城，谕以祸福。吏民降者相继，城中动静，小大皆知之。

That day passed and the night. The next day the wind shifted west, and the air was dark and gloomy. The morning was still early when a cry was heard in the camp. Runners came in to report that a host of dwarves had appeared round the eastern spur of the Mountain and was now hastening to Dale.

Dain had come. He had hurried on through the night, and so had come upon them sooner than they had expected. Each one of his folk was clad in a hauberk of steel mail that hung to his knees, and his legs were covered with hose of a fine and flexible metal mesh, the secret of whose making was possessed by Dain's people.

ブボむン

归彦登城大呼云：“孝昭皇帝初崩，六军百万，悉在臣手，投身向邺，奉迎陛下。当时不反，今日岂反邪！正恨高元海、毕义云、高干和诳惑圣上，疾忌忠良，但为杀此三人，卽临城自刎。”旣而城破，单骑北走，至交津，获之，锁送邺。乙未，载以露车，衔木面缚。刘桃枝临之以刃，击鼓随之，并其子孙十五人皆弃市。命封子绘行冀州事。

齐主知归彦前谮清河王岳，以归彦家良贱百口赐岳家，赠岳太师。

The dwarves are exceedingly strong for their height, but most of these were strong even for dwarves. In battle they wielded heavy two-handed mattocks; but each of them had also a short broad sword at his side and a round shield slung at his back. Their beards were forked and plaited and thrust into their belts.

Their caps were of iron and they were shod with iron, and their faces were grim. Trumpets called men and elves to arms. Before long the dwarves could be seen coming up the valley at a great pace.

丁酉，以段韶为太傅，娄叡为司徒，平阳王淹为太宰，斛律光为司空，赵郡王叡为尚书令，河间王孝琬为左仆射。

They halted between the river and the eastern spur; but a few held on their way, and crossing the river drew near the camp; and there they laid down their weapons and held up their hands in sign of peace. Bard went out to meet them, and with him went Bilbo.

"We are sent from Dain son of Nain," they said when questioned. "We are hastening to our kinsmen in the Mountain, since we learn that the kingdom of old is renewed.

ひテパぇゑウぞケ

癸亥，齐主如晋阳。

上遣使聘齐。

But who are you that sit in the plain as foes before defended walls?" This, of. course, in the polite and rather old-fashioned language of such occasions, meant simply: "You have no business here. We are going on, so make way or we shall fight you!" They meant to push on between the Mountain and the loop of the river, for the narrow land there did not seem to be strongly guarded.

九月，戊辰朔，日有食之。

Bard, of course, refused to allow the dwarves to go straight on to the Mountain. He was determined to wait until the gold and silver had been brought out in exchange for the Arkenstone: for he did not believe that this would be done, if once the fortress was manned with so large and warlike a company.

なゖタ

以侍中、都官尚书到仲举为尚书右仆射、丹杨尹。仲举，溉之弟子也。

吴明彻至临川攻周迪，不能克。丁亥，诏安成王顼代之。

They had brought with them a great store of supplies; for the dwarves can carry very heavy burdens, and nearly all of Dain's folks, in spite of their rapid march, bore huge packs on their backs in addition to their weapons.

They would stand a siege for weeks, and by that time yet more dwarves might come, and yet more, for Thorin had many relatives. Also they would be able to reopen and guard some other gate, so that the besiegers would have to encircle the whole mountain; and for that they had not sufficient numbers.

These were, in fact, precisely their plans (for the raven-messengers had been busy between Thorin and Dain); but for the moment the way was barred, so after angry words the dwarf-messengers retired muttering in their beards. Bard then sent messengers at once to the Gate; but they found no gold or payment. Arrows came forth as soon as they were within shot, and they hastened back in dismay. In the camp all was now astir, as if for battle; for the dwarves of Dain were advancing along the eastern bank.

"Fools!" laughed Bard, "to come thus beneath the Mountain's arm! They do not understand war above ground, whatever they may know of battle in the mines. There are many of our archers and spearmen now hidden in the rocks upon their right flank. Dwarf-mail may be good, but they will soon be hard put to it. Let us set on them now from both sides, before they are fully rested!"

冬，十月，戊戌，诏以军旅费广，百姓空虚，凡供乘舆饮食衣服及宫中调度，悉从减削；至于百司，宜亦思省约。

But the Elvenking said: "Long will I tarry, ere I begin this war for gold.

The dwarves cannot press us, unless we will, or do anything that we cannot mark. Let us hope still for something that will bring reconciliation. Our advantage in numbers will be enough, if in the end it must come to unhappy blows."

十二月，丙辰，齐主还邺。

齐主逼通昭信李后，曰：“若不从我，我杀尔儿！”后惧，从之。旣而有娠。太原王绍德至合，不得见，愠曰：“儿岂不知邪！姊腹大，故不见儿。”后大惭，由是生女不举。帝横刀诟曰：“杀我女，我何得不杀尔儿！”对后以刀环筑杀绍德。后大哭，帝愈怒，裸后，乱挝之。后号天不已，帝命盛以绢囊，流血淋漉，投诸渠水，良久乃苏，犊车载送妙胜寺为尼。

But he reckoned without the dwarves. The knowledge that the Arkenstone was in the hands of the besiegers burned in their thoughts; also they guessed the hesitation of Bard and his friends, and resolved to strike while they debated.

Suddenly without a signal they sprang silently forward to attack. Bows twanged and arrows whistled; battle was about to be joined.

卷一六九 陈纪三（一）

起昭阳协洽（癸未），尽柔兆阉茂（丙戌），凡四年。

Still more suddenly a darkness came on with dreadful swiftness! A black cloud hurried over the sky. Winter thunder on a wild wind rolled roaring up and rumbled in the Mountain, and lightning lit its peak. And beneath the thunder another blackness could be seen whirling forward; but it did not come with the wind, it came from the North, like a vast cloud of birds, so dense that no light could be seen between their wings.

世祖文皇帝天嘉四年（癸未，公元五六三年）

"Halt!" cried Gandalf, who appeared suddenly, and stood alone, with arms uplifted, between the advancing dwarves and the ranks awaiting them. "Halt!" he called in a voice like thunder, and his staff blazed forth with a flash like the lightning. "Dread has come upon you all! Alas! it has come more swiftly than I guessed. The Goblins are upon you! Bolg( of the North is coming. O Dain! whose father you slew in Moria. Behold! the bats are above his army like a sea of locusts. They ride upon wolves and Wargs are in their train!"

Amazement and confusion fell upon them all. Even as Gandalf had been speaking the darkness grew. The dwarves halted and gazed at the sky. The elves cried out with many voices.

春，正月，齐以太子少傅魏收兼尚书右仆射。时齐主终日酣饮，朝事专委侍中高元海。元海庸俗，帝亦轻之；以收才名素盛，故用之。而收畏懦避事，寻坐阿纵，除名。

"Come!" called Gandalf. "There is yet time for council. Let Dain son of Nain come swiftly to us!"

ゅマろ

 

So began a battle that none had expected; and it was called the Battle of Five Armies, and it was very terrible. Upon one side were the Goblins and the wild Wolves, and upon the other were Elves and Men and Dwarves. This is how it fell out. Ever since the fall of the Great Goblin of the Misty Mountains the hatred of their race for the dwarves had been rekindled to fury.

兖州刺史毕义云作书与高元海，论叙时事。元海入宫，不觉遗之。给事中李孝贞得而奏之，帝由是疏元海，以孝贞兼中书舍人，征义云还朝。和士开复谮元海，帝以马鞭棰元海六十，责曰：“汝昔敎我反，以弟反兄，几许不义！以邺城兵抗幷州，几许无智！”出为兖州刺史。

Messengers had passed to and fro between all their cities, colonies and strongholds; for they resolved now to win the dominion of the North. Tidings they had gathered in secret ways; and in all the mountains there was a forging and an arming. Then they marched and gathered by hill and valley, going ever by tunnel or under dark, until around and beneath the great mountain Gundabad of the North, where was their capital, a vast host was assembled ready to sweep down in time of storm unawares upon the South.

タャトふ

甲申，周迪众溃，脱身踰岭，奔晋安，依陈宝应。官军克临川，获迪妻子。宝应以兵资迪，留异又遣其子忠臣随之。

Then they learned of the death of Smaug, and joy was in their hearts: and they hastened night after night through the mountains, and came thus at last on a sudden from the North hard on the heels of Dain. Not even the ravens knew of their coming until they came out in the broken lands which divided the Lonely Mountain from the hills behind. How much Gandalf knew cannot be said, but it is plain that he had not expected this sudden assault.

This is the plan that he made in council with the Elvenking and with Bard; and with Dain, for the dwarf-lord now joined them: the Goblins were the foes of all, and at their coming all other quarrels were forgotten. Their only hope was to lure the goblins into the valley between the arms of the Mountain; and themselves to man the great spurs that struck south and east.

虞寄与宝应书，以十事谏之曰：“自天厌梁德，英雄互起，人人自以为得之，然夷凶翦乱，四海乐推者，陈氏也。岂非历数有在，惟天所授乎！一也。以王琳之强，侯瑱之力，进足以摇荡中原，争衡天下，退足以屈强江外，雄张偏隅；然或命一旅之师，或资一士之说，琳则瓦解冰泮，投身异域，瑱则厥角稽颡，委命阙庭，斯又天假之威而除其患。二也。今将军以藩戚之重，东南之众，尽忠奉上，戮力勤王，岂不勋高窦融，宠过吴芮，析珪判野，南面称孤乎！三也。圣朝弃瑕忘过，宽厚得人，至于余孝顷、潘纯陀、李孝钦、欧阳頠等，悉委以心腹，任以爪牙，胸中豁然，曾无纤芥。况将军衅非张绣，罪异毕谌，当何虑于危亡，何失于富贵！四也。方今周、齐邻睦，境外无虞，幷兵一向，匪朝伊夕，非刘、项竞逐之机，楚、赵连从之势；何得雍容高拱，坐论西伯哉！五也。且留将军狼顾一隅，亟经摧衂，声实亏丧，胆气衰沮。其将帅首鼠两端，唯利是视，孰能被坚执锐，长驱深入，系马埋轮，奋不顾命，以先士卒者乎！六也。将军之强，孰如侯景？将军之众，孰如王琳？武皇灭侯景于前，今上摧王琳于后，此乃天时，非复人力。且兵革已后，民皆厌乱，其孰能弃坟墓，捐妻子，出万死不顾之计，从将军于白刃之间乎！七也。历观前古，子阳、季孟，倾覆相寻；余善、右渠，危亡继及。天命可畏，山川难恃。况将军欲以数郡之地当天下之兵，以诸侯之资拒天子之命，强弱逆顺，可得侔乎！八也。且非我族类，其心必异；不爱其亲，岂能及物！留将军身縻国爵，子尚王姬，犹且弃天属而不顾，背明君而孤立，危急之日，岂能同忧共患，不背将军者乎！至于师老力屈，惧诛利赏，必有韩、智晋阳之谋，张、陈井陉之势。九也。北军万里远鬬，锋不可当。将军自战其地，人多顾后；众寡不敌，将帅不侔。师以无名而出，事以无机而动，以此称兵，未知其利。十也。为将军计，莫若绝亲留氏，释甲偃兵，一遵诏旨。方今藩维尚少，皇子幼冲，凡豫宗族，皆蒙宠树。况以将军之地，将军之才，将军之名，将军之势，而克修藩服，北面称臣，宁与刘泽同年而语其功业哉！寄感恩怀德，不觉狂言，斧钺之诛，其甘如荠。”宝应览书大怒。或谓宝应曰：“虞公病势渐笃，言多错谬。”宝应意乃小释，亦以寄民望，故优容之。

Yet this would be perilous, if the goblins were in sufficient numbers to overrun the Mountain itself, and so attack them also from behind and above; but there was no time for make any other plan, or to summon any help.

周梁躁公侯莫陈崇从周主如原州。帝夜还长安，人窃怪其故，崇谓所亲曰：“吾比闻术者言，晋公今年不利，车驾今忽夜还，不过晋公死耳。”或发其事。乙酉，帝召诸公于大德殿，面责崇，崇惶恐谢罪。其夜，冢宰护遣使将兵就崇第，逼令自杀，葬如常仪。

Soon the thunder passed, rolling away to the South-East; but the bat-cloud came, flying lower, over the shoulder of the Mountain, and whirled above them shutting out the light and filling them with dread.

"To the Mountain!" called Bard. "To the Mountain! Let us take our places while there is yet time!"

ぅトけェモぶガゴゆち

壬辰，以高州刺史黄法｛奭毛｝为南徐州刺史，临川太守周敷为南豫州刺史。

周主命司宪大夫拓跋迪造大律十五篇。其制罪：一曰杖刑，自十至五十；二曰鞭刑，自六十至百；三曰徒刑，自一年至五年；四曰流刑，自二千五百里至四千五百里；五曰死刑，磬、绞、斩、枭、裂；凡二十五等。

On the Southern spur, in its lower slopes and in the rocks at its feet, the Elves were set; on the Eastern spur were men and dwarves. But Bard and some of the nimblest of men and elves climbed to the height of the Eastern shoulder to gain a view to the North. Soon they could see the lands before the Mountain's feet black with a hurrying multitude. Ere long the vanguard swirled round the spur's end and came rushing into Dale. These were the swiftest wolf-riders, and already their cries and howls rent the air afar.

A few brave men were strung before them to make a feint of resistance, and many there fell before the rest drew back and fled to either side. As Gandalf had hoped, the goblin army had gathered behind the resisted vanguard, and poured now in rage into the valley, driving wildly up between the arms of the Mountain, seeking for the foe. Their banners were countless, black and red, and they came on like a tide in fury and disorder.

庚戌，以司空南徐州刺史侯安都为江州刺史。

It was a terrible battle. The most dreadful of all Bilbo's experiences, and the one which at the time he hated most — which is to say it was the one he was most proud of, and most fond of recalling long afterwards, although he was quite unimportant in it. Actually I must say he put on his ring early in the business, and vanished from sight, if not from all danger. A magic ring of that sort is not a complete protection in a goblin charge, nor does it stop flying arrows and wild spears; but it does help in getting out of the way, and it prevents your head from being specially chosen for a sweeping stroke by a goblin swordsman.

The elves were the first to charge. Their hatred for the goblins is cold and bitter. Their spears and swords shone in the gloom with a gleam of chill flame, so deadly was the wrath of the hands that held them. As soon as the host of their enemies was dense in the valley, they sent against it a shower of arrows, and each flickered as it fled as if with stinging fire. Behind the arrows a thousand of their spearmen leapt down and charged. The yells were deafening.

辛酉，周诏：“大冢宰晋国公，亲则懿昆，任当元辅，自今诏诰及百司文书，并不得称公名。”护抗表固让。

The rocks were stained black with goblin blood. Just as the goblins were recovering from the onslaught and the elf-charge was halted, there rose from across the valley a deep-throated roar. With cries of "Moria!" and "Dain, Dain!" the dwarves of the Iron Hills plunged in, wielding their mattocks, upon the other side; and beside them came the men of the Lake with long swords. Panic came upon the Goblins; and even as they turned to meet this new attack, the elves charged again with renewed numbers.

Already many of the goblins were flying back down the river to escape from the trap: and many of their own wolves were turning upon them and rending the dead and the wounded. Victory seemed at hand, when a cry rang out on the heights above.

ゞケユぅヌズマミレ

三月，乙丑朔，日有食之。

齐诏司空斛律光督步骑二万，筑勋掌城于轵关；仍筑长城二百里，置十二戍。

Goblins had scaled the Mountain from the other side and already many were on the slopes above the Gate, and others were streaming down recklessly, heedless of those that fell screaming from cliff and precipice, to attack the spurs from above. Each of these could be reached by paths that ran down from the main mass of the Mountain in the centre; and the defenders had too few to bar the way for long. Victory now vanished from hope. They had only stemmed the first onslaught of the black tide.

Day drew on. The goblins gathered again in the valley. There a host of Wargs came ravening and with them came the bodyguard of Bolg, goblins of huge size with scimitars of steel. Soon actual darkness was coming into a stormy sky; while still the great bats swirled about the heads and ears of elves and men, or fastened vampire-like on the stricken. Now Bard was fighting to defend the Eastern spur, and yet giving slowly back; and the elf-lords were at bay about their king upon the southern arm, near to the watch-post on Ravenhill.

丙戌，齐以兼尚书右仆射赵彦深为左仆射。

Suddenly there was a great shout, and from the Gate came a trumpet call. They had forgotten Thorin! Part of the wall, moved by levers, fell outward with a crash into the pool. Out leapt the King under the Mountain, and his companions followed him. Hood and cloak were gone; they were in shining armour, and red light leapt from their eyes. In the gloom the great dwarf gleamed like gold in a dying fire.

Rocks were buried down from on high by the goblins above; but they held on. leapt down to the falls' foot, and rushed forward to battle. Wolf and rider fell or fled before them. Thorin wielded his axe with mighty strokes, and nothing seemed to harm him.

夏，四月，乙未，周以柱国达奚武为太保。

"To me! To me! Elves and Men! To me! O my kinsfolk!" he cried, and his voice shook like a horn in the valley.

周主将视学，以太傅燕国公于谨为三老。谨上表固辞，不许，仍赐以延年杖。戊午，帝幸太学。谨入门，帝迎拜于门屏之间，谨答拜。有司设三老席于中楹，南面。太师护升阶，设几，谨升席，南面凭几而坐。大司马豆卢宁升阶，正舄。帝升阶，立于斧扆之前，西面。有司进馔，帝跪设酱豆，亲为之袒割。谨食毕，帝亲跪授爵以酳。有司撤讫，帝北面立而访道。谨起，立于席后，对曰：“木受绳则正，后从谏则圣。明王虚心纳谏以知得失，天下乃安。”又曰：“去食去兵，信不可去；愿陛下守信勿失。”又曰：“有功必赏，有罪必罚，则为善者日进，为恶者日止。”又曰：“言行者，立身之基，愿陛下三思而言，九虑而行，勿使有过。天子之过，如日月之食，人莫不知，愿陛下慎之。”帝再拜受言，谨答拜。礼成而出。

Down, heedless of order, rushed all the dwarves of Dain to his help. Down too came many of the Lake-men, for Bard could not restrain them; and out upon the other side came many of the spearmen of the elves. Once again the goblins were stricken in the valley; and they were piled in heaps till Dale was dark and hideous with their corpses.

The Wargs were scattered and Thorin drove right against the bodyguards of Bolg. But he could not pierce their ranks. Already behind him among the goblin dead lay many men and many dwarves, and many a fair elf that should have lived yet long ages merrily in the wood. And as the valley widened his onset grew ever slower. His numbers were too few. His flanks were unguarded.

ぅフ゛せレぷゞ

司空侯安都恃功骄横，数聚文武之士骑射赋诗，斋中宾客，动至千人。部下将帅，多不遵法度，检问收摄，辄奔归安都。上性严整，内衔之，安都弗之觉。每有表启，封讫，有事未尽，开封自书之云：“又启某事。”及侍宴，酒酣，或箕踞倾倚。常陪乐游园禊饮，谓上曰：“何如作临川王时？”上不应。安都再三言之。上曰：“此虽天命，抑亦明公之力。”宴讫，启借供帐水饰，欲载妻妾于御堂宴饮。上虽许之，意甚不怿。明日，安都坐于御座，宾客居羣臣位，称觞上寿。会重云殿灾，安都帅将士带甲入殿，上甚恶之，阴为之备。

及周迪反，朝议谓当使安都讨之，而上更使吴明彻。又数遣台使按问安都部下，检括亡叛。安都遣其别驾周弘实自托于舍人蔡景历，并问省中事。景历录其状，具奏之，因希旨称安都谋反。上虑其不受召，故用为江州。

Soon the attackers were attacked, and they were forced into a great ring, facing every way, hemmed all about with goblins and wolves returning to the assault. The bodyguard of Bolg came howling against them, and drove in upon their ranks like waves upon cliffs of sand. Their friends could not help them, for the assault from the Mountain was renewed with redoubled force, and upon either side men and elves were being slowly beaten down.

On all this Bilbo looked with misery. He had taken his stand on Ravenhill among the Elves-partly because there was more chance of escape from that point, and partly (with the more Tookish part of his mind) because if he was going to be in a last desperate stand, he preferred on the whole to defend the Elvenking. Gandalf, too, I may say, was there, sitting on the ground as if in deep thought, preparing, I suppose, some last blast of magic before the end. That did not seem far off. "It will not be long now," thought Bilbo, "before the goblins win the Gate, and we are all slaughtered or driven down and captured. Really it is enough to make one weep, after all one has gone through.

五月，安都自京口还建康，部伍入于石头。六月，帝引安都宴于嘉德殿，又集其部下将帅会于尚书朝堂，于坐收安都，囚于嘉德西省，又收其将帅，尽夺马仗而释之。因出蔡景历表，以示于朝，乃下诏暴其罪恶，明日，赐死，宥其妻子，资给其丧。

I would rather old Smaug had been left with all the wretched treasure, than that these vile creatures should get it, and poor old Bombur, and Balin and Fili and Kili and all the rest come to a bad end; and Bard too, and the Lake-men and the merry elves. Misery me!

I have heard songs of many battles, and I have always understood that defeat may be glorious. It seems very uncomfortable, not to say distressing. I wish I was well out of it."

初，高祖在京口，尝与诸将宴，杜僧明、周文育、侯安都为寿，各称功伐。高祖曰：“卿等悉良将也，而并有所短。杜公志大而识闇，狎于下而骄于上；周侯交不择人，而推心过差；侯郎慠诞而无厌，轻佻而肆志；并非全身之道。”卒皆如其言。

The clouds were torn by the wind, and a red sunset slashed the West. Seeing the sudden gleam in the gloom Bilbo looked round. He gave a great cry: he had seen a sight that made his heart leap, dark shapes small yet majestic against the distant glow.

"The Eagles! The Eagles!" he shouted. "The Eagles are coming!"

乙卯，齐主使兼散骑常侍崔子武来聘。

Bilbo's eyes were seldom wrong. The eagles were coming down the wind, line after line, in such a host as must have gathered from all the eyries of the North.

齐侍中、开府仪同三司和士开有宠于齐主，齐主外朝视事，或在内宴赏，须臾之间，不得不与士开相见，或累日不归，一日数入；或放还之后，俄顷卽追，未至之间，连骑督趣，奸谄百端，宠爱日隆，前后赏赐，不可胜纪。每侍左右，言辞容止，极诸鄙亵；以夜继昼，无复君臣之礼。常谓帝曰：“自古帝王，尽为灰土，尧舜、桀纣，竟复何异！陛下宜及少壮，极意为乐，纵横行之，一日取快，可敌千年。国事尽付大臣，何虑不办，无为自勤约也！”帝大悦。于是委赵彦深掌官爵，元文遥掌财用，唐邕掌外、骑兵，信都冯子琮、胡长粲掌东宫。帝三四日一视朝，书数字而已，略无所言，须臾罢入。长粲，僧敬之子也。

"The Eagles! the Eagles!" Bilbo cried, dancing and waving his arms. If the elves could not see him they could hear him. Soon they too took up the cry, and it echoed across the valley. Many wondering eyes looked up, though as yet nothing could be seen except from the southern shoulders of the Mountain.

"The Eagles!" cried Bilbo once more, but at that moment a stone hurtling from above smote heavily on his helm, and he fell with a crash and knew no more.

帝使士开与胡后握槊，河南康献王孝瑜谏曰：“皇后天下之母，岂可与臣下接手！”孝瑜又言：“赵郡王叡，其父死于非命，不可亲近。”由是叡及士开共谮之。士开言孝瑜奢僭，叡言“山东唯闻河南王，不闻有陛下。”帝由是忌之。孝瑜窃与尔朱御女言，帝闻之，大怒。庚申，顿饮孝瑜酒三十七杯。孝瑜体肥大，腰带十围，帝使左右娄子彦载以出，酖之于车，至西华门，烦躁投水而绝。赠太尉、录尚书事。诸侯在宫中者，莫敢举声，唯河间王孝琬大哭而出。

Chapter 18 The Return Journey

秋，七月，戊辰，周主幸原州。

When Bilbo came to himself, he was literally by himself. He was lying on the flat stones of Ravenhill, and no one was near. A cloudless day, but cold, was broad above him. He was shaking, and as chilled as stone, but his head burned with fire.

"Now I wonder what has happened?" he said to himself. "At any rate I am not yet one of the fallen heroes; but I suppose there is still time enough for that!"

八月，辛丑，齐以三台宫为大兴圣寺。

He sat up painfully. Looking into the valley he could see no living goblins. After a while as his head cleared a little, he thought he could see elves moving in the rocks below. He rubbed his eyes. Surely there was a camp still in the plain some distance off; and there was a coming and going about the Gate? Dwarves seemed to be busy removing the wall. But all was deadly still. There was no call and no echo of a song. Sorrow seemed to be in the air. "Victory after all, I suppose!" he said, feeling his aching head. "Well, it seems a very gloomy business."

九月，壬戌，广州刺史阳山穆公欧阳頠卒，诏其子纥袭父爵位。

Suddenly he was aware of a man climbing up and coming towards him.

卷一六九 陈纪三（二）

"Hullo there!" he called with a shaky voice. "Hullo there! What news?"

"What voice is it that speaks among the stones?" said the man halting and peering about him not far from where Bilbo sat.

甲子，周主自原州登陇。

Then Bilbo remembered his ring! "Well I'm blessed!" said he. "This invisibility has its drawbacks after all. Otherwise I suppose I might have spent a warm and comfortable night in bed!"

周迪复越东兴岭为寇，辛未，诏护军章昭达将兵讨之。

"It's me, Bilbo Baggins, companion of Thorin!" he cried, hurriedly taking off the ring.

丙戌，周主如同州。

"It is well that I have found you!" said the man striding forward. "You are needed and we have looked for you long. You would have been numbered among the dead, who are many, if Gandalf the wizard had not said that your voice was last heard in this place. I have been sent to look here for the last time. Are you much hurt?"

初，周人欲与突厥木杆可汗连兵伐齐，许纳其女为后，遣御伯大夫杨荐及左武伯大原王庆往结之。齐人闻之惧，亦遣使求婚于突厥，赂遗甚厚。木杆贪齐币重，欲执荐等送齐。荐知之，责木杆曰：“太祖昔与可汗共敦邻好，蠕蠕部落数千来降，太祖悉以付可汗使者，以快可汗之意。如何今日遽欲背恩忘义，独不愧鬼神乎？”木杆惨然良久曰：“君言是也。吾意决矣，当相与共平东贼，然后遣女。”荐等复命。

"A nasty knock on the head, I think," said Bilbo. "But I have a helm and a hard skull. All the same I feel sick and my legs are like straws."

公卿请发十万人击齐，柱国杨忠独以为得万骑足矣。戊子，遣忠将步骑一万，与突厥自北道伐齐，又遣大将军达奚武帅步骑三万，自南道出平阳，期会于晋阳。

"I will carry you down to the camp in the valley," said the man, and picked him lightly up.

冬，十一月，辛酉，章昭达大破周迪。迪脱身潜窜山谷，民相与匿之，虽加诛戮，无肯言者。

The man was swift and sure-footed. It was not long before Bilbo was set down before a tent in Dale; and there stood Gandalf, with his arm in a sling. Even the wizard had not escaped without a wound; and there were few unharmed in all the host.

When Gandalf saw Bilbo, he was delighted. "Baggins!" he exclaimed. "Well I never! Alive after all — 1 am glad! I began to wonder if even your luck would see you through! A terrible business, and it nearly was disastrous. But other news can wait. Come!" he said more gravely. "You are called for;" and leading the hobbit he took him within the tent.

ヨごヨもヱゃじろダヵ

十二月，辛卯，周主还长安。

丙申，大赦。

"Hail! Thorin," he said as he entered. "I have brought him."

There indeed lay Thorin Oakenshield, wounded with many wounds, and his rent armour and notched axe were cast upon the floor. He looked up as Bilbo came beside him.

章昭达进军，度岭，趣建安，讨陈宝应，诏益州刺史余孝顷督会稽、东阳、临海、永嘉诸军自东道会之。

"Farewell, good thief," he said. "I go now to the halls of waiting to sit beside my fathers, until the world is renewed. Since I leave now all gold and silver, and go where it is of little worth, I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate."

Bilbo knelt on one knee filled with sorrow. "Farewell, King under the Mountain!" he said. "This is a bitter adventure, if it must end so; and not a mountain of gold can amend it. Yet I am glad that I have shared in your perils — that has been more than any Baggins deserves."

是岁，初祭始兴昭烈王于建康，用天子礼。

"No!" said Thorin. "There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell!"

Then Bilbo turned away, and he went by himself, and sat alone wrapped in a blanket, and, whether you believe it or not, he wept until his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. He was a kindly little soul. Indeed it was long before he had the heart to make a joke again. "A mercy it is," he said at last to himself, "that I woke up when I did. I wish Thorin were living, but I am glad that we parted in kindness. You are a fool, Bilbo Baggins, and you made a great mess of that business with the stone; and there was a battle, in spite of all your efforts to buy peace and quiet, but I suppose you can hardly be blamed for that."

をゴゐぢク

周杨忠拔齐二十余城。齐人守陉岭之隘，忠击破之。突厥木杆、地头、步离三可汗以十万骑会之。己酉，自恒州三道俱入。时大雪数旬，南北千余里，平地数尺。齐主自邺倍道赴之，戊午，至晋阳。斛律光将步兵三万屯平阳。己未，周师及突厥逼晋阳。齐主畏其强，戎服帅宫人欲东走避之。赵郡王叡、河间王孝琬叩马谏。孝琬请委叡部分，必得严整。帝从之，命六军进止皆取叡节度，而使幷州刺史段韶总之。

文帝天嘉五年（甲申，公元五六四年）

All that had happened after he was stunned, Bilbo learned later; but it gave him more sorrow than joy, and he was now weary of his adventure. He was aching in his bones for the homeward journey. That, however, was a little delayed, so in the meantime I will tell something of events. The Eagles had long had suspicion of the goblins' mustering; from their watchfulness the movements in the mountains could not be altogether hid. So they too had gathered in great numbers, under the great Eagle of the Misty Mountains; and at length smelling battle from afar they had come speeding down the gale in the nick of time. They it was who dislodged the goblins from the mountain-slopes, casting them over precipices, or driving them down shrieking and bewildered among their foes. It was not long before they had freed the Lonely Mountain, and elves and men on either side of the valley could come at last to the help of the battle below.

But even with the Eagles they were still outnumbered.

春，正月，庚申朔，齐主登北城，军容甚整。突厥咎周人曰：“尔言齐乱，故来伐之。今齐人眼中亦有铁，何可当耶！”

In that last hour Beorn himself had appeared — no one knew how or from where. He came alone, and in bear's shape; and he seemed to have grown almost to giant-size in his wrath. The roar of his voice was like drums and guns; and he tossed wolves and goblins from his path like straws and feathers. He fell upon their rear, and broke like a clap of thunder through the ring.

The dwarves were making a stand still about their lords upon a low rounded hill. Then Beorn stooped and lifted Thorin, who had fallen pierced with spears, and bore him out of the fray. Swiftly he returned and his wrath was redoubled, so that nothing could withstand him, and no weapon seemed to bite upon him. He scattered the bodyguard, and pulled down Bolg himself and crushed him.

周人以步卒为前锋，从西山下去城二里许。诸将咸欲逆击之，段韶曰：“步卒力势，自当有限。今积雪旣厚，逆战非便，不如陈以待之。彼劳我逸，破之必矣。”旣至，齐悉其锐兵鼓噪而出。突厥震骇，引上西山，不肯战，周师大败而还。突厥引兵出塞，纵兵大掠，自晋阳以往七百余里，人畜无遗。段韶追之，不敢逼。突厥还至陉岭，冻滑，乃铺毡以度，胡马寒瘦，膝已下皆无毛，比至长城，马死且尽，截矟杖之以归。

Then dismay fell on the Goblins and they fled in all directions. But weariness left their enemies with the coming of new hope, and they pursued them closely, and prevented most of them from escaping where they could.

达奚武至平阳，未知忠退。斛律光与书曰：“鸿鹄已翔于寥廓，罗者犹视于沮泽。”武得书，亦还。光逐之，入周境，获二千余口而还。

They drove many of them into the Running River, and such as fled south or west they hunted into the marshes about the Forest River; and there the greater part of the last fugitives perished, while those that came hardly to the Wood-elves' realm were there slain, or drawn in to die in the trackless dark of Mirkwood. Songs have said that three parts of the goblin warriors of the North perished on that day, and the mountains had peace for many a year.

Victory had been assured before the fall of night, but the pursuit was still on foot, when Bilbo returned to the camp; and not many were in the valley save the more grievously wounded.

ぞト

光见帝于晋阳，帝以新遭大寇，抱光头而哭。任城王湝进曰：“何至于此！”乃止。

初，齐显祖之世，周人常惧齐兵西渡，每至冬月，守河椎冰。及世祖卽位，嬖幸用事，朝政渐紊，齐人椎冰以备周兵之逼。斛律光忧之，曰：“国家常有吞关、陇之志，今日至此，而唯翫声色乎！”

"Where are the Eagles?" he asked Gandalf that evening, as he lay wrapped in many warm blankets.

"Some are in the hunt," said the wizard, "but most have gone back to their eyries. They would not stay here, and departed with the first light of morning. Dain has crowned their chief with gold, and sworn friendship with them for ever."

辛巳，上祀南郊。

"I am sorry. I mean, I should have liked to see them again," said Bilbo sleepily; "perhaps I shall see them on the way home. I suppose I shall be going home soon?"

"As soon as you like," said the wizard.

二月，庚寅朔，日有食之。

Actually it was some days before Bilbo really set out.

They buried Thorin deep beneath the Mountain, and Bard laid the Arkenstone upon his breast.

初，齐显祖命羣官刊定魏麟趾格为齐律，久而不成。时军国多事，决狱罕依律文，相承谓之“变法从事”。世祖卽位，思革其弊，乃督修律令者，至是而成，律十二篇，令四十卷。其刑名有五：一曰死，重者轘之，次枭首，次斩，次绞；二曰流，投边裔为兵；三曰刑，自五岁至一岁；四曰鞭，自百至四十；五曰杖，自三十至十；凡十五等。其流外官及老、小、阉、痴并过失应赎者，皆以绢代金。三月，辛酉，班行之，因大赦。是后为吏者始守法令。又敕仕门子弟常讲习之，故齐人多晓法。

"There let it lie till the Mountain falls!" he said. "May it bring good fortune to all his folk that dwell here after!" Upon his tomb the Elvenking then laid Orcrist, the elvish sword that had been taken from Thorin in captivity. It is said in songs that it gleamed ever in the dark if foes approached, and the fortress of the dwarves could not be taken by surprise. There now Dain son of Nain took up his abode, and he became King under the Mountain, and in time many other dwarves gathered to his throne in the ancient halls. Of the twelve companions of Thorin, ten remained.

ルっヾくバずぱホ

又令民十八受田输租调，二十充兵，六十免力役，六十六还田，免租调。一夫受露田八十亩，妇人四十亩，奴婢依良人，牛受六十亩。大率一夫一妇调绢一匹，绵八两，垦租二石，义租五斗；奴婢准良人之半；牛调二尺，垦租一斗，义租五升。垦租送台，义租纳郡以备水旱。

Fili and Kili had fallen defending him with shield and body, for he was their mother's elder brother. The others remained with Dain; for Dain dealt his treasure well. There was, of course, no longer any question of dividing the hoard in such shares as had been planned, to Balin and Dwalin, and Dori and Nori and Ori, and Oin and Gloin, and Bifur and Bofur and Bombur-or to Bilbo.

Yet a fourteenth share of all the silver and gold, wrought and unwrought, was given up to Bard; for Dain said: "We will honour the agreement of the dead, and he has now the Arkenstone in his keeping."

己巳，齐羣盗田子礼等数十人，共劫太师彭城景思王浟为主，诈称使者，径向浟第，至内室，称敕，牵浟上马，临以白刃，欲引向南殿，浟大呼不从，盗杀之。

Even a fourteenth share was wealth exceedingly great, greater than that of many mortal kings. From that treasure Bard sent much gold to the Master of Lake-town; and he rewarded his followers and friends freely. To the Elvenking he gave the emeralds of Girion, such jewels as he most loved, which Dain had restored to him.

庚辰，周初令百官执笏。

To Bilbo he said: "This treasure is as much yours as it is mine; though old agreements cannot stand, since so many have a claim in its winning and defence. Yet even though you were willing to lay aside all your claim, I should wish that the words of Thorin, of which he repented, should not prove true: that we should give you little. I would reward you most richly of all."

"Very kind of you," said Bilbo. "But really it is a relief to me. How on earth should I have got all that treasure home without war and murder all along the way, I don't know. And I don't know what I should have done with it when I got home. I am sure it is better in your hands."

齐以斛律光为司徒，武兴王普为尚书左仆射。普，归彦之兄子也。甲申，以冯翊王润为司空。

In the end he would only take two small chests, one filled with silver, and the other with gold, such as one strong pony could carry. "That will be quite as much as I can manage," said he.

夏，四月，辛卯，齐主使兼散骑常侍皇甫亮来聘。

At last the time came for him to say good-bye to his friends. "Farewell, Balin!" he said; "and farewell, Dwalin; and farewell Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur! May your beards never grow thin!" And turning towards the Mountain he added: "Farewell Thorin Oakenshield! And Fili and Kili! May your memory never fade!"

庚子，周主遣使来聘。

Then the dwarves bowed low before their Gate, but words stuck in their throats. "Good-bye and good luck, wherever you fare!" said Balin at last. "If ever you visit us again, when our halls are made fair once more, then the feast shall indeed be splendid!"

"If ever you are passing my way," said Bilbo, "don't wait to knock! Tea is at four; but any of you are welcome at any time!"

癸卯，周以邓公河南窦炽为大宗伯。五月，壬戌，封世宗之子贤为毕公。

Then he turned away.

The elf-host was on the march;. and if it was sadly lessened, yet many were glad, for now the northern world would be merrier for many a long day. The dragon was dead, and the goblins overthrown, and their hearts looked forward after winter to a spring of joy.

ヮオヱタアァ

甲子，齐主还邺。

壬午，齐以赵郡王叡为录尚书事，前司徒娄叡为太尉。甲申，以段韶为太师。丁亥，以任城王湝为大将军。

Gandalf and Bilbo rode behind the Elvenking, and beside them strode Beorn, once again in man's shape, and he laughed and sang in a loud voice upon the road. So they went on until they drew near to the borders of Mirkwood, to the north of the place where the Forest River ran out.

Then they halted, for the wizard and Bilbo would not enter the wood, even though the king bade them stay a while in his halls. They intended to go along the edge of the forest, and round its northern end in the waste that lay between it and the beginning of the Grey Mountains.

壬辰，齐主如晋阳。

It was a long and cheerless road, but now that the goblins were crushed, it seemed safer to them than the dreadful pathways under the trees. Moreover Beorn was going that way too.

"Farewell! O Elvenking!" said Gandalf. "Merry be the greenwood, while the world is yet young! And merry be all your folk!"

周以太保达奚武为同州刺史。

"Farewell! O Gandalf!" said the king. "May you ever appear where you are most needed and least expected! The oftener you appear in my halls the better shall I be pleased!"

"I beg of you," said Bilbo stammering and standing on one foot, "to accept this gift!" and he brought out a necklace of silver and pearls that Dain had given him at their parting.

たぁゥラ

六月，齐主杀乐陵王百年。时白虹晕日再重，又横贯而不达，赤星见，齐主欲以百年厌之。会博陵人贾德胄敎百年书，百年尝作数敕字，德胄封以奏之。帝发怒，使召百年。百年自知不免，割带玦留与其妃斛律氏，见帝于凉风堂。使百年书敕字，验与德胄所奏相似，遣左右乱捶之，又令曳之遶堂行且捶，所过血皆遍地，气息将尽，乃斩之，弃诸池，池水尽赤。妃把玦哀号不食，月余亦卒，玦犹在手，拳不可开；其父光自擘之，乃开。

庚寅，周改御伯为纳言。

"In what way have I earned such a gift, O hobbit?" said the king.

"Well, er, I thought, don't you know," said Bilbo rather confused, "that, er, some little return should be made for your, er, hospitality. I mean even a burglar has his feelings. I have drunk much of your wine and eaten much of your bread."

初，周太祖之从贺拔岳在关中也，遣人迎晋公护于晋阳。护母阎氏及周主之姑皆留晋阳，齐人以配中山宫。及护用事，遣间使入齐求之，莫知音息。齐遣使者至玉壁，求通互市。护欲访求母、姑，使司马下大夫尹公正至玉壁，与之言，使者甚悦。勋州刺史韦孝宽获关东人，复纵之，因致书为言西朝欲通好之意。是时，周人以前攻晋阳不得志，谋与突厥再伐齐。齐主闻之，大惧，许遣护母西归，且求通好，先遣其姑归。

"I will take your gift, O Bilbo the Magnificent!" said the king gravely. "And I name you elf-friend and blessed. May your shadow never grow less (or stealing would be too easy)! Farewell!"

Then the elves turned towards the Forest, and Bilbo started on his long road home.

秋，八月，丁亥朔，日有食之。

He had many hardships and adventures before he got back. The Wild was still the Wild, and there were many other things in it in those days besides goblins; but he was well guided and well guarded-the wizard was with him, and Beorn for much of the way-and he was never in great danger again.

周遣柱国杨忠会突厥伐齐，至北河而还。

Anyway by mid-winter Gandalf and Bilbo had come all the way back, along both edges of the Forest, to the doors of Beorn's house; and there for a while they both stayed. Yule-tide was warm and merry there; and men came from far and wide to feast at Beorn's bidding.

The goblins of the Misty Mountains were now few and terrified, and hidden in the deepest holes they could find; and the Wargs had vanished from the woods, so that men went abroad without fear.

戊子，周以齐公宪为雍州牧，宇文贵为大司徒。九月，丁巳，以卫公直为大司空。追录佐命元功，封开府仪同三司陇西公李昞为唐公，太驭中大夫长乐公若干凤为徐公。昞，虎之子；凤，惠之子也。

Beorn indeed became a great chief afterwards in those regions and ruled a wide land between the mountains and the wood; and it is said that for many generations the men of his line had the power of taking bear's shape, and some were grim men and bad, but most were in heart like Beorn, if less in size and strength.

乙丑，齐主封其子绰为南阳王，俨为东平王。俨，太子之母弟也。

In their day the last goblins were hunted from the Misty Mountains and a new peace came over the edge of the Wild. It was spring, and a fair one with mild weathers and a bright sun, before Bilbo and Gandalf took their leave at last of Beorn, and though he longed for home. Bilbo left with regret, for the flowers of the gardens of Beorn were m springtime no less marvellous than in high summer. At last they came up the long road, and reached the very pass where the goblins had captured them before.

But they came to that high point at morning, and looking backward they saw a white sun shining over the out-stretched lands. There behind lay Mirkwood, blue in the distance, and darkly green at the nearer edge even in the spring. There far away was the Lonely Mountain on the edge of eyesight. On its highest peak snow yet unmelted was gleaming pale.

テかみニヤスぴ

突厥寇齐幽州，众十余万，入长城，大掠而还。

周皇姑之归也，齐主遣人为晋公护母作书，言护幼时数事，又寄其所著锦袍，以为信验。且曰：“吾属千载之运，蒙大齐之德，矜老开恩，许得相见。禽善草木，母子相依。吾有何罪，与汝分离！今复何福，还望见汝！言此悲喜，死而更苏。世间所有，求皆可得，母子异国，何处可求！假汝贵极王公，富过山海，有一老母，八十之年，飘然千里，死亡旦夕，不得一朝蹔见，不得一日同处，寒不得汝衣，饥不得汝食，汝虽穷荣极盛，光耀世间，于吾何益！吾今日之前，汝旣不得申其供养，事往何论；今日以后，吾之残命，唯系于汝尔。戴天履地，中有鬼神，勿云冥昧，而可欺负！”

"So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their ending!" said Bilbo, and he turned his back on his adventure. The Tookish part was getting very tired, and the Baggins was daily getting stronger. "I wish now only to be in my own arm-chair!" he said.

护得书，悲不自胜。复书曰：“区宇分崩，遭遇灾祸，违离膝下，三十五年。受形禀气，皆知母子，谁同萨保，如此不孝！子为公侯，母为俘隶，暑不见母暑，寒不见母寒，衣不知有无，食不知饥饱，泯如天地之外，无由暂闻。分怀冤酷，终此一生，死若有知，冀奉见于泉下耳！不谓齐朝解网，惠以德音，磨敦、四姑，并许矜放。初闻此旨，魂爽飞越，号天叩地，不能自胜。齐朝霈然之恩，旣已沾洽，有家有国，信义为本，伏度来期，已应有日。一得奉见慈颜，永毕生愿。生死肉骨，岂过今恩；负山载岳，未足胜荷。”

chapter 19The Last Stage

　

齐人留护母，使更与护书，邀护重报，往返再三。时段韶拒突厥军于塞下，齐主使黄门徐世荣乘传赍周书问韶。韶以“周人反复，本无信义，比晋阳之役，其事可知。护外托为相，其实主也。旣为母请和，不遣一介之使。若据移书，卽送其母，恐示之以弱。不如且外许之，待和亲坚定，然后遣之未晚。”齐主不听，卽遣之。

It was on May the First that the two came back at last to the brink of the valley of Rivendell, where stood the Last (or the First) Homely House. Again it was evening, their ponies were tired, especially the one that carried the baggage; and they all felt in need of rest. As they rode down the steep path, Bilbo heard the elves still singing in the trees, as if they had not stopped since he left; and as soon as their riders came down into the lower glades of the wood they burst into a song of much the same kind as before. This is something like it:

The dragon is withered,His bones are now crumbled;His armour is shivered,His splendour is humbled!Though sword shall be rusted,And throne and crown perishWith strength that men trustedAnd wealth that they cherish,Here grass is still growing,And leaves are yet swinging,The white water flowing,And elves are yet singingCome! Tra-la-la-lally!Come back to the valley!

O! Where are you going,So late in returning?The river is flowing,The stars are all burning!O! Whither so laden,So sad and so dreary?Here elf and elf-maidenNow welcome the wearyWith Tra-la-la-lallyCome back to the Valley,Tra-la-la-lallyFa-la-la-lallyFa-la!

Then the elves of the valley came out and greeted them and led them across the water to the house of Elrond. There a warm welcome was made them, and there were many eager ears that evening to hear the tale of their adventures. Gandalf it was who spoke, for Bilbo was fallen quiet and drowsy.

Most of the tale he knew, for he had been in it, and had himself told much of it to the wizard on their homeward way or in the house of Beorn; but every now and again he would open one eye, and listen, when a part of the story which he did not yet know came in. It was in this way that he learned where Gandalf had been to; for he overheard the words of the wizard to Elrond.

卷一六九 陈纪三（三）

It appeared that Gandalf had been to a great council of the white wizards, masters of lore and good magic; and that they had at last driven the Necromancer from his dark hold in the south of Mirkwood.

护军至潼关，遣柱国尉迟迥帅精兵十万为前锋，趣洛阳，大将军权景宣帅山南之兵趣悬瓠，少师杨檦出轵关。

"Ere long now," Gandalf was saying, "The Forest will grow somewhat more wholesome. The North will be freed from that horror for many long years, I hope. Yet I wish he were banished from the world!"

"It would be well indeed," said Elrond; "but I fear that will not come about in this age of the world, or for many after."

周迪复出东兴，宣城太守钱肃镇东兴，以城降迪。吴州刺史陈详将兵击之，详兵大败，迪众复振。

南豫州刺史西丰脱侯周敷帅所部击之，至定川，与迪对垒。迪绐敷曰：“吾昔与弟戮力同心，岂规相害！今愿伏罪还朝，因弟披露心腑，先乞挺身共盟。”敷许之，方登坛，为迪所杀。

When the tale of their joumeyings was told, there were other tales, and yet more tales, tales of long ago, and tales . of new things, and tales of no time at all, till Bilbo's head fell forward on his chest, and he snored comfortably in a corner.

He woke to find himself in a white bed, and the moon shining through an open window. Below it many elves were singing loud and clear on the banks of the stream.

陈宝应据晋安、建安二郡，水陆为栅，以拒章昭达。昭达与战，不利，因据上流，命军士伐木为筏，施拍其上。会大雨江涨，昭达放筏冲宝应水栅，尽坏之，又出兵攻其步军。方合战，上遣将军余孝顷自海道适至，幷力乘之。十一月，己丑，宝应大败，逃至莆口，谓其子曰：“早从虞公计，不至今日。”昭达追擒之，并擒留异及其族党，送建康，斩之。异子贞臣以尚主得免，宝应宾客皆死。

Sing all ye joyful, now sing all together?The wind's in the free-top, the wind's in the heather;The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.

Dance all ye joyful, now dance all together!Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather!The river is silver, the shadows are fleeting;Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting.

上闻虞寄尝谏宝应，命昭达礼遣诣建康。旣见，劳之曰：“管宁无恙？”以为衡阳王掌书记。

Sing we now softly, and dreams let us weave him!Wind him in slumber and there let us leave him!The wanderer sleepeth. Now soft be his pillow!Lullaby! Lullaby! Alder and Willow!

Sigh no more Pine, till the wind of the morn!Fall Moon! Dark be the land!Hush! Hush! Oak, Ash, and Thorn!Hushed be all water, till dawn is at hand!

周晋公护进屯弘农。尉迟迥围洛阳，雍州牧齐公宪、同州刺史达奚武、汉州总管王雄军于邙山。

"Well, Merry People!" said Bilbo looking out. "What time by the moon is this? Your lullaby would waken a drunken goblin! Yet I thank you."

はねサふだシヱぁ

戊戌，齐主遣兼散骑常侍刘逖来聘。

"And your snores would waken a stone dragon — yet we thank you," they answered with laughter. "It is drawing towards dawn, and you have slept now since the night's beginning. Tomorrow, perhaps, you will be cured of weariness."

"A little sleep does a great cure in the house of Elrond," said he; "but I will take all the cure I can get. A second good night, fair friends!" And with that he went back to bed and slept till late morning.

初，周杨檦为邵州刺史，镇捍东境二十余年，数与齐战，未尝不捷，由是轻之。旣出轵关，独引兵深入，又不设备。甲辰，齐太尉娄叡将兵奄至，大破檦军，檦遂降齐。

Weariness fell from him soon in that house, and he had many a merry jest and dance, early and late, with the elves of the valley. Yet even that place could not long delay him now, and he thought always of his own home. After a week, therefore, he said farewell to Elrond, and giving him such small gifts as he would accept, he rode away with Gandalf. Even as they left the valley the sky darkened in the West before them, and wind and rain came up to meet them.

权景宣围悬瓠，十二月，齐豫州道行台、豫州刺史太原王士良、永州刺史萧世怡并以城降之。景宣使开府郭彦守豫州，谢彻守永州，送士良、世怡及降卒千人于长安。

"Merry is May-time!" said Bilbo, as the rain beat into his face. "But our back is to legends and we are coming home. I suppose this is a first taste of it."

"There is a long road yet," said Gandalf.

周人为土山、地道以攻洛阳，三旬不克。晋公护命诸将堑断河阳路，遏齐救兵，然后同攻洛阳；诸将以为齐兵必不敢出，唯张斥候而已。

"But it is the last road," said Bilbo. They came to the river that marked the very edge of the borderland of the Wild, and to the ford beneath the steep bank, which you may remember. The water was swollen both with the melting of the snows at the approach of summer, and with the daylong rain; but they crossed with some difficulty, and pressed forward, as evening fell, on the last stage of their journey. This was much as it had been before, except that the company was smaller, and more silent; also this time there were no trolls.

齐遣兰陵王长恭、大将军斛律光救洛阳，畏周兵之强，未敢进。齐主召幷州刺史段韶，谓曰：“洛阳危急，今欲遣王救之。突厥在北，复须镇御，如何？”对曰：“北虏侵边，事等疥癣。今西邻窥逼，乃腹心之病，请奉诏南行。”齐主曰：“朕意亦尔。”乃令韶督精骑一千发晋阳。丁巳，齐主亦自晋阳赴洛阳。

At each point on the road Bilbo recalled the happenings and the words of a year ago-it seemed to him more like ten-so that, of course, he quickly noted the place where the pony had fallen in the river, and they had turned aside for their nasty adventure with Tom and Bert and Bill. Not far from the road they found the gold of the trolls, which they had buried, still hidden and untouched. "I have enough to last me my time," said Bilbo, when they had dug it up. "You had better take this, Gandalf. I daresay you can find a use for it."

己未，齐太宰平原靖翼王淹卒。

"Indeed I can!" said the wizard. "But share and share alike! You may find you have more needs than you expect."

So they put the gold in bags and slung them on the ponies, who were not at all pleased about it. After that their going was slower, for most of the time they walked. But the land was green and there was much grass through which the hobbit strolled along contentedly. He mopped his face with a red silk handkerchief-no! not a single one of his own had survived, he had borrowed this one from Elrond —for now June had brought summer, and the weather was bright and hot again.

段韶自晋阳行，五日济河，会连日阴雾，壬戌，韶至洛阳，帅帐下三百骑，与诸将登邙阪，观周军形势。至太和谷，与周军遇，韶卽驰告诸营，追集骑士，结陈以待之。韶为左军，兰陵王长恭为中军，斛律光为右军。周人不意其至，皆忷惧。韶遥谓周人曰：“汝宇文护纔得其母，遽来为寇，何也？”周人曰：“天遣我来，有何可问！”韶曰：“天道赏善罚恶，当遣汝送死来耳！”

As all things come to an end, even this story, a day came at last when they were in sight of the country where Bilbo had been born and bred, where the shapes of the land and of the trees were as well known to him as his hands and toes. Coming to a rise he could see his own Hill in the distance, and he stopped suddenly and said:

Roads go ever ever on,Over rock and under tree,By caves where never sun has shone,By streams that never find the sea;

周人以步兵在前，上山逆战。韶且战且却以诱之；待其力弊，然后下马击之。周师大败，一时瓦解，投坠溪谷死者甚众。

Over snow by winter sown,And through the merry flowers of June,Over grass and over stone,And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever ever onUnder cloud and under star,Yet feet that wandering have goneTurn at last to home afar.

兰陵王长恭以五百骑突入周军，遂至金墉城下。城上人弗识，长恭免胄示之面，乃下弩手救之。周师在城下者亦解围遁去，委弃营幕，自邙山至谷水，三十里中，军资器械，弥满川泽。唯齐公宪、达奚武及庸忠公王雄在后，勒兵拒战。

Eyes that fire and sword have seenAnd horror in the halls of stoneLook at last on meadows greenAnd trees and hills they long have known.

Gandalf looked at him. "My dear Bilbo!" he said. "Something is the matter with you! You are not the hobbit that you were."

王雄驰马冲斛律光陈，光退走，雄追之。光左右皆散，唯余一奴一矢。雄按矟不及光者丈余，谓光曰：“吾惜尔不杀，当生将尔见天子。”光射雄中额，雄抱马走，至营而卒。军中益惧。

And so they crossed the bridge and passed the mill by the river and came right back to Bilbo's own door. "Bless me! What's going on?" he cried. There was a great commotion, and people of all sorts, respectable and unrespectable, were thick round the door, and many were going in and out-not even wiping their feet on the mat, as Bilbo noticed with annoyance.

ノカょぎっヌ

齐公宪拊循督励，众心小安。至夜，收军，宪欲待明更战。达奚武曰：“洛阳军散，人情震骇，若不因夜速还，明日欲归不得。武在军久，备见形势；公少年未经事，岂可以数营士卒委之虎口乎！”乃还。权景宣亦弃豫州走。

If he was surprised, they were more surprised still. He had arrived back in the middle of an auction! There was a large notice in black and red hung on the gate, stating that on June the Twenty-second Messrs. Grubb, Grubb, and Bun-owes would sell by auction the effects of the late Bilbo Baggins Esquire, of Bag-End, Underhill, Hobbiton.

Sale to commence at ten o'clock sharp. It was now nearly lunch-time, and most of the things had already been sold, for various prices from next to nothing to old songs (as is not unusual at auctions). Bilbo's cousins the Sackville-Bagginses were, in fact, busy measuring his rooms to see if their own furniture would fit. In short Bilbo was "Presumed Dead," and not everybody that said so was sorry to find the presumption wrong.

丁卯，齐主至洛阳。己巳，以段韶为太宰，斛律光为太尉，兰陵王长恭为尚书令。壬申，齐主如虎牢，遂自滑台如黎阳，丙子，至邺。

The return of Mr. Bilbo Baggins created quite a disturbance, both under the Hill and over the Hill, and across the Water; it was a great deal more than a nine days' wonder.

杨忠引兵出沃野，应接突厥，军粮不给，诸军忧之，计无所出。忠乃招诱稽胡酋长咸在坐，诈使河州刺史王杰勒兵鸣鼓而至，曰：“大冢宰已平洛阳，欲与突厥共讨稽胡之不服者。”坐者皆惧，忠慰谕而遣之。于是诸胡相帅馈输，车粮填积。属周师罢归，忠亦还。

The legal bother, indeed, lasted for years. It was quite a long time before Mr. Baggins was in fact admitted to be alive again. The people who had got specially good bargains at the Sale took a deal of convincing; and in the end to sav6 time Bilbo had to buy back quite a lot of his own furniture.

Many of his silver spoons mysteriously disappeared and were never accounted for. Personally he suspected the Sackville-Bagginses. On their side they never admitted that the returned Baggins was genuine, and they were not on friendly terms with Bilbo ever after. They really had wanted to live in his nice hobbit-hole so very much.

晋公护本无将略，是行也，又非本心，故无功，与诸将稽首谢罪。周主慰劳罢之。

Indeed Bilbo found he had lost more than spoons — he had lost his reputation. It is true that for ever after he remained an elf-friend, and had the honour of dwarves, wizards, and all such folk as ever passed that way; but he was no longer quite respectable.

是岁，齐山东大水，饥死者不可胜计。

He was in fact held by all the hobbits of the neighbourhood to be 'queer'-except by his nephews and nieces on the Took side, but even they were not encouraged in their friendship by their elders. I am sorry to say he did not mind. He was quite content; and the sound of the kettle on his hearth was ever after more musical than it had been even in the quiet days before the Unexpected Party. His sword he hung over the mantelpiece.

宕昌王梁弥定屡寇周边，周大将军田弘讨灭之，以其地置宕州。

His coat of mail was arranged on a stand in the hall (until he lent it to a Museum). His gold and silver was largely spent in presents, both useful and extravagant — which to a certain extent accounts for the affection of his nephews and his nieces. His magic ring he kept a great secret, for he chiefly used it when unpleasant callers came. He took to writing poetry and visiting the elves; and though many shook their heads and touched their foreheads and said "Poor old Baggins!" and though few believed any of his tales, he remained very happy to the end of his days, and those were extraordinarily long.

One autumn evening some years afterwards Bilbo was sitting in his study writing his memoirs — he thought of calling them "There and Back Again, a Hobbit's Holiday" — when there was a ring at the door. It was Gandalf and a dwarf; and the dwarf was actually Balin.

文帝天嘉六年（乙酉，公元五六五年）

"Come in! Come in!" said Bilbo, and soon they were settled in chairs by the fire. If Balin noticed that Mr. Baggins' waistcoat was more extensive (and had real gold buttons), Bilbo also noticed that Balm's beard was several inches longer, and his jewelled belt was of great magnificence.

春，正月，癸卯，齐以任城王湝为大司马。

They fell to talking of their times together, of course, and Bilbo asked how things were going in the lands of the Mountain. It seemed they were going very well. Bard had rebuilt the town in Dale and men had gathered to him from the Lake and from South and West, and all the valley had become tilled again and rich, and the desolation was now filled with birds and blossoms in spring and fruit and feasting in autumn. And Lake-town was refounded and was more prosperous than ever, and much wealth went up and down the Running River; and there was friendship in those parts between elves and dwarves and men.
