にぎポぼ゜さも

Then they set about raising many huts by the shore against the oncoming winter; and also under the Master's direction they began the planning of a new town, designed more fair and large even than before, but not in the same place.

They removed northward higher up the shore; for ever after they had a dread of the water where the dragon lay. He would never again return to his golden bed, but was stretched cold as stone, twisted upon the floor of the shallows.

帝之卽位也，景与帝登重云殿，礼佛为誓云：“自今君臣两无猜贰，臣固不负陛下，陛下亦不得负臣！”及会理谋泄，景疑帝知之，故杀咨。帝自知不久，指所居殿谓殷不害曰：“庞涓当死此下。”

There for ages his huge bones could be seen in calm weather amid the ruined piles of the old town. But few dared to cross the cursed spot, and none dared to dive into the shivering water or recover the precious stones that fell from his rotting carcass.

But all the men of arms who were still able, and the most of the Elvenking's array, got ready to march north to the Mountain. It was thus that in eleven days from the ruin of the town the head of their host passed the rock-gates at the end of the lake and came into the desolate lands.

Chapter 15 The Gathering of the Clouds

景自帅众讨杨白华于宣城，白华力屈而降，景以其北人，全之，以为左民尚书，诛其兄子彬以报来亮之怨。

Now we will return to Bilbo and the dwarves. All night one of them had watched, but when morning came they had not heard or seen any sign of danger. But ever more thickly the birds were gathering. Their companies came flying from the South; and the crows that still lived about the Mountain were wheeling and crying unceasingly above.

"Something strange is happening," said Thorin. "The time has gone for the autumn wanderings; and these are birds that dwell always in the land; there are starlings and flocks of finches; and far off there are many carrion birds as if a battle were afoot!"

スヘロツイざー

Suddenly Bilbo pointed: "There is that old thrush again!" he cried. "He seems to have escaped, when Smaug smashed the mountain-side, but I don't suppose the snails have!"

Sure enough the old thrush was there, and as Bilbo pointed, he flew towards them and perched on a stone near by. Then he fluttered his wings and sang; then he cocked his head on one side, as if to listen; and again he sang, and again he listened.

邵陵王纶在汝南，修城池，集士卒，将图安陆。魏安州刺史马佑以告丞相泰，泰遣杨忠将万人救安陆。

"I believe he is trying to tell us something," said Balin; "but I cannot follow the speech of such birds, it is very quick and difficult. Can you make it out Baggins?"

"Not very well," said Bilbo (as a matter of fact, he could make nothing of it at all); "but the old fellow seems .very excited."

"I only wish he was a raven!" said Balin.

"I thought you did not like them! You seemed very shy of them, when we came this way before."

卷一六四 梁纪二十（一）

"Those were crows! And nasty suspicious-looking creatures at that, and rude as well. You must have heard the ugly names they were calling after us. But the ravens are different. There used to be great friendship between them and the people of Thror; and they often brought us secret news, and were rewarded with such bright things as they coveted to hide in their dwellings.

"They live many a year, and their memories are long, and they hand on their wisdom to their children. I knew many among the ravens of the rocks when I was a dwarf- lad. This very height was once named Ravenhill, because there was a wise and famous pair, old Care and his wife, that lived here above the guard-chamber. But I don't suppose that any of that ancient breed linger here now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old thrush gave a loud call, and immediately flew away.

"We may not understand him, but that old bird understands us, I am sure," said Balin. "Keep watch now, and see what happens!"

起重光协洽（辛未），尽玄黓涒滩（壬申），凡二年。

Before long there was a fluttering of wings, and back came the thrush; and with him came a most decrepit old bird. He was getting blind, he could hardly fly, and the top of his head was bald. He was an aged raven of great size. He alighted stiffly on the ground before them, slowly flapped his wings, and bobbed towards Thorin.

"O Thorin son of Thrain, and Balin son of Fundin," he croaked (and Bilbo could understand what he said, for he used ordinary language and not bird-speech). "I am R(ac son of Carc. Carc is dead, but he was well known to you once. It is a hundred years and three and fifty since I came out of the egg, but I do not forget what my father told me. Now I am the chief of the great ravens of the Mountain. We are few, but we remember still the king that was of old. Most of my people are abroad, for there are great tidings in the South — some are tidings of joy to you, and some you will not think so good.

"Behold! the birds are gathering back again to the Mountain and to Dale from South and East and West, for word has gone out that Smaug is dead!"

"Dead! Dead?" shouted the dwarves. "Dead! Then we have been in needless fear-and the treasure is ours!"

辛亥，齐主祀圜丘。

张彪遣其将赵棱围钱塘，孙凤围富春，侯景遣仪同三司田迁、赵伯超救之，棱、凤败走。棱，伯超之兄子也。

They all sprang up and began to caper about for joy.

癸亥，齐主耕藉田。乙丑，享太庙。

"Yes, dead," said R(ac. "The thrush, may his feathers never fall, saw him die, and we may trust his words. He saw him fall in battle with the men of Esgaroth the third night back from now at the rising of the moon."

It was some time before Thorin could bring the dwarves to be silent and listen to the raven's news. At length when he had told all the tale of the battle he went on:

魏杨忠围汝南，李素战死。二月，乙亥，城陷，执邵陵携王纶，杀之，投尸江岸；岳阳王詧取而葬之。

"So much for joy, Thorin Oakenshield. You may go back to your halls in safety; all the treasure is yours-for the moment. But many are gathering hither beside the birds. The news of the death of the guardian has already gone far and wide, and the legend of the wealth of Thror has not lost in the telling during many years; many are eager for a share of the spoil. Already a host of the elves is on the way, and carrion birds are with them hoping for battle and slaughter. By the lake men murmur that their sorrows are due to the dwarves; for they are homeless and many have died, and Smaug has destroyed their town. They too think to find amends from your treasure, whether you are alive or dead.

わぇ

或告齐太尉彭乐谋反；壬辰，乐坐诛。

"Your own wisdom must decide your course, but thirteen is small remnant of the great folk of Durin that once dwelt here, and now are scattered far. If you will listen to my counsel, you will not trust the Master of the Lake-men, but rather him that shot the dragon with his bow. Bard is he, of the race of Dale, of the line of Girion; he is a grim man but true. We would see peace once more among dwarves and men and elves after the long desolation; but it may cost you dear in gold. I have spoken."

Then Thorin burst forth in anger: "Our thanks, R(ac Carc's son. You and your people shall not be forgotten. But none of our gold shall thieves take or the violent carry off while we are alive. If you would earn our thanks still more, bring us news of any that draw near. Also I would beg of you, if any of you are still young and strong of wing, that you would send messengers to our kin in the mountains of the North, both west from here and east, and tell them of our plight. But go specially to my cousin Dain in the Iron Hills, for he has many people well-armed, and dwells nearest to this place. Bid him hasten!"

"I will not say if this counsel be good or bad," croaked R(ac; "but I will do what can be done." Then off he slowly flew.

"Back now to the Mountain!" cried Thorin. "We have little time to lose."

齐遣散骑常侍曹文皎使于江陵，湘东王绎使兼散骑常侍王子敏报之。

侯景以王克为太师，宋子仙为太保，元罗为太傅，郭元建为太尉，张化仁为司徒，任约为司空，王伟为尚书左仆射，索超世为右仆射。景置三公官，动以十数，仪同尤多。以子仙、元建、化仁为佐命元功，伟、超世为谋主，于子悦、彭隽主击断，陈庆、吕季略、卢晖略、丁和等为爪牙。梁人为景用者，则故将军赵伯超，前制局监周石珍，内监严亶，邵陵王记室伏知命。自余王克、元罗及侍中殷不害、太常周弘正等，景从人望，加以尊位，非腹心之任也。

"And little food to use!" cried Bilbo, always practical on such points. In any case he felt that the adventure was, properly speaking, over .with the death of the dragon-in which he was much mistaken-and he would have given most of his share of the profits for the peaceful winding up of these affairs.

北兖州刺史萧邕谋降魏，侯景杀之。

"Back to the Mountain!" cried the dwarves as if they had not heard him; so back he had to go with them. As you have heard some of the events already, you will see that the dwarves still had some days before them. They explored the caverns once more, and found, as they expected, that only the Front Gate remained open; all the other gates (except, of course, the small secret door) had long ago been broken and blocked by Smaug, and no sign of them remained. So now they began to labour hard in fortifying the main entrance, and in remaking the road that led from it. Tools were to be found in plenty that the miners and quarriers and builders of old had used; and at such work the dwarves were still very skilled.

As they worked the ravens brought them constant tidings. In this way they learned that the Elvenking had turned aside to the Lake, and they still had a breathing space. Better still, they heard that three of their ponies had escaped and were wandering wild far down the banks of the Running River, not far from where the rest of their stores had been left. So while the others went on with their work, Fili and Kili were sent, guided by a raven, to find the ponies and bring back all they could.

杨干运进据平兴，平兴者，杨法琛所治也。法琛退保鱼石洞，干运焚平兴而归。

They were four days gone, and by that time they knew that the joined armies of the Lake-men and the Elves were hurrying towards the Mountain. But now their hopes were higher; for they had food for some weeks with care-chiefly cram, of course, and they were very tired of it; but cram is much better than nothing-and already the gate was blocked with a wall of squared stones laid dry, but very thick and high across the opening. There were holes in the wall through which they could see (or shoot) but no entrance.

李迁仕收众还击南康，陈霸先遣其将杜僧明等拒之，生擒迁仕，斩之。湘东王绎使霸先进兵取江州，以为江州刺史。

They climbed in or out with ladders, and hauled stuff up with ropes. For the issuing of the stream they had contrived a small low arch under the new wall; but near the entrance they had so altered the narrow bed that a wide pool stretched from the mountain-wall to the head of the fall over which the stream went towards Dale.

Approach to the Gate was now only possible, without swimming, along a narrow ledge of the cliff, to the right as one looked outwards from the wall. The ponies they had brought only to the head of the steps above the old bridge, and unloading them there had bidden them return to their masters and sent them back riderless to the South.

三月，丙午，齐襄城王淯卒。

There came a night when suddenly there were many lights as of fires and torches away south in Dale before them.

庚戌，魏文帝殂，太子钦立。

"They have come!" called Balin. "And their camp is very great. They must have come into the valley under the cover of dusk along both banks of the river."

That night the dwarves slept little. The morning was still pale when they saw a company approaching. From behind their wall they watched them come up to the valley's head and climb slowly up. Before long they could see that both men of the lake armed as if for war and elvish bowmen were among them. At length the foremost of these climbed the tumbled rocks and appeared at the top of the falls; and very great was their surprise to see the pool before them and the Gate blocked with a wall of new-hewn stone.

ルけぷゃぅる゛ダュ

乙卯，徐文盛等克武昌，进军芦洲。

己未，齐以湘东王绎为梁相国，建梁台，总百揆，承制。

As they stood pointing and speaking to one another Thorin hailed them: "Who are you," he called in a very loud voice, "that come as if in war to the gates of Thorin son of Thrain, King under the Mountain, and what do you desire?"

But they answered nothing. Some turned swiftly back, and the others after gazing for a while at the Gate and its defences soon followed them. That day the camp was moved and was brought right between the arms of the Mountain. The rocks echoed then with voices and with song, as they had not done for many a day. There was the sound, too, of elven-harps and of sweet music; and as it echoed up towards them it seemed that the chill of the air was warmed, and they caught faintly the fragrance of woodland flowers blossoming in spring.

齐司空司马子如自求封王，齐主怒，庚子，免子如官。

Then Bilbo longed to escape from the dark fortress and to go down and join in the mirth and feasting by the fires. Some of the younger dwarves were moved in their hearts, too, and they muttered that they wished things had fallen out otherwise and that they might welcome such folk as friends; but Thorin scowled.

Then the dwarves themselves brought forth harps and instruments regained from the hoard, and made music to soften his mood; but their song was not as elvish song, and was much like the song they had sung long before in Bilbo's little hobbit-hole.

任约告急，侯景自帅众西上，携太子大器从军以为质，留王伟居守。闰月，景发建康，自石头至新林，舳舻相接。约分兵袭破定州刺史田龙祖于齐安。壬寅，景军至西阳，与徐文盛夹江筑垒。癸卯，文盛击破之，射其右丞库狄式和，坠水死，景遁走还营。

Under the Mountain dark and tallThe King has come unto his hall!His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread,And ever so his foes shall fall.

夏，四月，甲辰，魏葬文帝于永陵。

The sword is sharp, the spear is long,The arrow swift, the Gate is strong;The heart is bold that looks on gold;The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong.

 

郢州刺史萧方诸，年十五，以行事鲍泉和弱，常侮易之，或使伏床，骑背为马；恃徐文盛军在近，不复设备，日以蒱酒为乐。侯景闻江夏空虚，乙巳，使宋子仙、任约帅精骑四百，由淮内袭郢州。丙午，大风疾雨，天色晦冥，有登陴望见贼者，告泉曰：“虏骑至矣！”泉曰：“徐文盛大军在下，贼何由得至！当是王珣军人还耳。”旣而走告者稍众，始命闭门，子仙等已入城。方诸方踞泉腹，以五色彩辫其髥；见子仙至，方诸迎拜，泉匿于床下；子仙俯窥见泉素髥间彩，惊愕，遂擒之，及司马虞豫，送于景所，景因便风，中江举帆，遂越文盛等军，丁未，入江夏。文盛众惧而溃，与长沙王韶等逃归江陵。王珣、杜幼安以家在江夏，遂降于景。

The dwarves of yore made mighty spells,While hammers fell like ringing bellsIn places deep, where dark things sleep,In hollow halls beneath the fells.

On silver necklaces they strungThe light of stars, on crowns they hungThe dragon-fire, from twisted wireThe melody of harps they wrung.

湘东王绎以王僧辩为大都督，帅巴州刺史丹杨淳于量、定州刺史杜龛、宜州刺史王琳、郴州刺史裴之横东击景，徐文盛以下并受节度。戊申，僧辩等军至巴陵，闻郢州已陷，因留戍之。绎遗僧辩书曰：“贼旣乘胜，必将西下，不劳远击；但守巴丘，以逸待劳，无虑不克。”又谓将佐曰：“贼若水步两道，直指江陵，此上策也。据夏首，积兵粮，中策也。悉力攻巴陵，下策也。巴陵城小而固，僧辩足可委任。景攻城不拔，野无所掠，暑疫时起，食尽兵疲，破之必矣。”乃命罗州刺史徐嗣徽自岳阳，武州刺史杜崱自武陵引兵会僧辩。

景使丁和将兵五千守夏首，宋子仙将兵一万为前驱，趣巴陵，分遣任约直指江陵，景帅大兵水步继进。于是缘江戍逻，望风请服，景拓逻至于隐矶。僧辩乘城固守，偃旗卧鼓，安若无人。壬戌，景众济江，遣轻骑至城下，问：“城内为谁？”答曰：“王领军。”骑曰：“何不早降？”僧辩曰：“大军但向荆州，此城自当非碍。”骑去。顷之，执王珣等至城下，使说其弟琳。琳曰：“兄受命讨贼，不能死难，曾不内惭，翻欲赐诱！”取弓射之，珣惭而退。景肉薄百道攻城，城中鼓噪，矢石雨下，景士卒死者甚众，乃退。僧辩遣轻兵出战，凡十余返，皆捷。景被甲在城下督战，僧辩着绶、乘舆、奏鼓吹巡城，景望之，服其胆勇。

The mountain throne once more is freed!O! wandering folk, the summons heed!Come haste! Come haste! across the waste!The king of friend and kin has need.

Now call we over mountains cold,'Come hack unto the caverns old'!Here at the Gates the king awaits,His hands are rich with gems and gold.

岳阳王詧闻侯景克郢州，遣蔡大宝将兵一万进据武宁，遣使至江陵，诈称赴援。众议欲答以侯景已破，令其退军。湘东王绎曰：“今语以退军，是趣之令进也。”乃使谓大宝曰：“岳阳累启连和，不相侵犯，卿那忽据武宁？今当遣天门太守胡僧佑精甲二万、铁马五千顿湕水，待时进军。”詧闻之，召其军还。僧佑，南阳人也。

The king is come unto his hallUnder the Mountain dark and tall.The Worm of Dread is slain and dead,And ever so our foes shall fall!

This song appeared to please Thorin, and he smiled again and grew merry; and he began reckoning the distance to the Iron Hills and how long it would be before Dain could reach the Lonely Mountain, if he had set out as soon as the message reached him.

五月，魏陇西襄公李虎卒。

But Bilbo's heart fell, both at the song and the talk: they sounded much too warlike. The next morning early a company of spearmen was seen crossing the river, and marching up the valley.

They bore with them the green banner of the Elvenking and the blue banner of the Lake, and they advanced until they stood right before the wall at the Gate.

侯景昼夜攻巴陵，不克，军中食尽，疾疫死伤太半。湘东王绎遣晋州刺史萧惠正将兵援巴陵，惠正辞不堪，举胡僧佑自代。僧佑时坐谋议忤旨系狱，绎卽出之，拜武猛将军，令赴援，戒之曰：“贼若水战，但以大舰临之，必克。若欲步战，自可鼓棹直就巴丘，不须交锋也。”僧佑至湘浦，景遣任约帅锐卒五千据白塉以待之。僧佑由他路西上，约谓其畏己，急追之，及于芊口，呼僧佑曰：“吴儿，何不早降，走何所之！”僧佑不应，潜引兵至赤沙亭；会信州刺史陆法和至，与之合军。法和有异术，隐于江陵百里洲，衣食居处，一如苦行沙门，或豫言吉凶，多中，人莫能测。侯景之围台城也，或问之曰：“事将何如？”法和曰：“凡人取果，宜待熟时，不撩自落。”固问之，法和曰：“亦克亦不克。”及任约向江陵，法和自请击之，绎许之。

Again Thorin hailed them in a loud voice: "Who are you that come armed for war to the gates of Thorin son of Thrain, King under the Mountain?" This time he was answered.

ヱヨドぁいザヘとァ

壬寅，约至赤亭。六月，甲辰，僧佑、法和纵兵击之，约兵大溃，杀溺死者甚众，擒约送江陵。景闻之，乙巳，焚营宵遁。以丁和为郢州刺史，留宋子仙等，众号二万，戍郢城；别将支化仁镇鲁山，范希荣行江州事，仪同三司任延和、晋州刺史夏侯威生守晋州。景与麾下兵数千，顺流而下。丁和以大石磕杀鲍泉及虞预，沈于黄鹤矶。任约至江陵，绎赦之。徐文盛坐怨望，下狱死。巴州刺史余孝顷遣兄子僧重将兵救鄱阳，于庆退走。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A tall man stood forward, dark of hair and grim of face, and he cried: "Hail Thorin! Why do you fence yourself like a robber in his hold? We are not yet foes, and we rejoice that you are alive beyond our hope. We came expecting to find none living here; yet now that we are met there is matter for a parley and a council."

绎以王僧辩为征东将军、尚书令，胡僧佑等皆进位号，使引兵东下。陆法和请还，旣至，谓绎曰：“侯景自然平矣，蜀贼将至，请守险以待之。”乃引兵屯峡口。庚申，王僧辩至汉口，先攻鲁山，擒支化仁送江陵。辛酉，攻郢州，克其罗城，斩首千级。宋子仙退据金城，僧辩四面起土山，攻之。

"Who are you, and of what would you parley?"

"I am Bard, and by my hand was the dragon slain and your treasure delivered. Is that not a matter that concerns you? Moreover I am by right descent the heir of Girion of Dale, and in your hoard is mingled much of the wealth of his halls and town, which of old Smaug stole. Is not that a matter of which we may speak? Further in his last battle Smaug destroyed the dwellings of the men of Esgaroth, and I am yet the servant of their Master. I would speak for him and ask whether you have no thought for the sorrow and misery of his people. They aided you in your distress, and in recompense you have thus far brought ruin only, though doubtless undesigned."

豫州刺史荀朗自巢湖出濡须邀景，破其后军，景奔归，船前后相失。太子船入枞阳浦，船中腹心皆劝太子因此入北，太子曰：“自国家丧败，志不图生，主上蒙尘，宁忍违离左右！吾今若去，是乃叛父，非避贼也。”因涕泗呜咽，卽命前进。

 

 

Now these were fair words and true, if proudly and grimly spoken; and Bilbo thought that Thorin would at once admit what justice was in them. He did not, of course, expect that any one would remember that it was he who discovered all by himself the dragon's weak spot; and that was just as well, for no one ever did. But also he did not reckon with the power that gold has upon which a dragon has long brooded, nor with dwarvish hearts. Long hours in the past days Thorin had spent in the treasury, and the lust of it was heavy on him. Though he had hunted chiefly for the Arkenstone, yet he had an eye for many another wonderful thing that was lying there, about which were wound old memories of the labours and the sorrows of his race.

甲子，宋子仙等困蹙，乞输郢城，身还就景；王僧辩伪许之，命给船百艘以安其意。子仙谓为信然，浮舟将发，僧辩命杜龛帅精勇千人攀堞而上，鼓噪奄进，水军主宋遥帅楼船，暗江云合。子仙且战且走，至白杨浦，大破之，周铁虎生擒子仙及丁和，送江陵，杀之。

 

 

 

 

"You put your worst cause last and in the chief place," Thorin answered. "To the treasure of my people no man has a claim, because Smaug who stole it from us also robbed him of life or home. The treasure was not his that his evil deeds should be amended with a share of it. The price of the goods and the assistance that we received of the Lake-men we will fairly pay-in due time. But nothing will we give, not even a loaf's worth, under threat of force. While an armed host lies before our doors, we look on you as foes and thieves.

庚午，齐主以司马子如，高祖之旧，复以为太尉。

"It is in my mind to ask what share of their inheritance you would have paid to our kindred, had you found the hoard unguarded and us slain."

江安侯圆正为西阳太守，宽和好施，归附者众，有兵一万。湘东王绎欲图之，署为平南将军。及至，弗见，使南平王恪与之饮，醉，因囚之内省，分其部曲，使人告其罪。荆、益之衅自此起矣。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"A just question," replied Bard. "But you are not dead, and we are not robbers. Moreover the wealthy may have pity beyond right on the needy that befriended them when they were in want. And still my other claims remain unanswered."

"I will not parley, as I have said, with armed men at my gate. Nor at all with the people of the Elvenking, whom I remember with small kindness. In this debate they have no place. Begone now ere our arrows fly! And if you would speak with me again, first dismiss the elvish host to the woods where it belongs, and then return, laying down your arms before you approach the threshold."

陈霸先引兵发南康，灨石旧有二十四滩，会水暴涨数丈，三百里间，巨石皆没，霸先进顿西昌。

 

 

 

铁勒将伐柔然，突厥酋长土门邀击，破之，尽降其众五万余落。土门恃其强盛，求婚于柔然，柔然头兵可汗大怒，使人詈辱之曰：“尔，我之锻奴也，何敢发是言！”土门亦怒，杀其使者，遂与之绝，而求婚于魏；魏丞相泰以长乐公主妻之。

 

 

"The Elvenking is my friend, and he has succoured the people of the Lake in their need, though they had no claim but friendship on him," answered Bard. "We will give you time to repent your words. Gather your wisdom ere we return!" Then he departed and went back to the camp.

Ere many hours were past, the banner-bearers returned, and trumpeters stood forth and blew a blast:

秋，七月，乙亥，湘东王绎以长沙王韶监郢州事。丁亥，侯景还至建康。于庆自鄱阳还豫章，侯瑱闭门拒之，庆走江州，据郭默城。绎以瑱为兖州刺史。景悉杀瑱子弟。

"In the name of Esgaroth and the Forest," one cried, "we speak unto Thorin Thrain's son Oakenshield, calling himself the King under the Mountain, and we bid him consider well the claims that have been urged, or be declared our foe. At the least he shall deliver one twelfth portion of the treasure unto Bard, as the dragon-slayer, and as the heir of Girion. From that portion Bard will himself contribute to the aid of Esgaroth; but if Thorin would have the friendship and honour of the lands about, as his sires had of old, then he will give also somewhat of his own for the comfort of the men of the Lake." Then Thorin seized a bow of horn and shot an arrow at the speaker. It smote into his shield and stuck there quivering.

'"Since such is your answer," he called in return, "I declare the Mountain besieged. You shall not depart from it, until you call on your side for a truce and a parley. We will bear no weapons against you, but we leave you to your gold. You may eat that, if you will!"

辛丑，王僧辩乘胜下湓城，陈霸先帅所部三万人将会之，屯于巴丘。西军乏食，霸先有粮五十万石，分三十万石以资之。八月，壬寅朔，王僧辩前军袭于庆，庆弃郭默城走，范希荣亦弃寻阳城走。晋熙王僧振等起兵围郡城，僧辩遣沙州刺史丁道贵助之，任延和等弃城走。湘东王绎命僧辩且顿寻阳以待诸军之集。

 

 

With that the messengers departed swiftly, and the dwarves were left to consider their case. So grim had Thorin become, that even if they had wished, the others would not have dared to find fault with him; but indeed most of them seemed to share his mind-except perhaps old fat Bombur and Fili and Kili. Bilbo, of course, disapproved of the whole turn of affairs.

He had by now had more than enough of the Mountain, and being besieged inside it was not at all to his taste.

初，景旣克建康，常言吴儿怯弱，易以掩取，当须拓定中原，然后为帝。景尚帝女溧阳公主，嬖之，妨于政事，王伟屡谏景，景以告主，主有恶言，伟恐为所谗，因说景除帝。及景自巴陵败归，猛将多死，自恐不能久存，欲早登大位。王伟曰：“自古移鼎，必须废立，旣示我威权，且绝彼民望。”景从之。使前寿光殿学士谢昊为诏书，以为“弟侄争立，星辰失次，皆由朕非正绪，召乱致灾，宜禅位于豫章王栋。”使吕季略赍入，逼帝书之。栋，欢之子也。

 

 

 

"The whole place still stinks of dragon," he grumbled to himself, "and it makes me sick. And cram is beginning simply to stick in my throat."

 

 

Chapter 16 A Thief in the Night

戊午，景遣卫尉卿彭隽等帅兵入殿，废帝为晋安王，幽于永福省，悉撤内外侍卫，使突骑左右守之，墙垣悉布枳棘。庚申，下诏迎豫章王栋。栋时幽拘，廪饩甚薄，仰蔬茹为食。方与妃张氏鉏葵，法驾奄至，栋惊，不知所为，泣而升辇。

Now the days passed slowly and wearily. Many of the dwarves spent their time piling and ordering the treasure; and now Thorin spoke of the Arkenstone of Thrain, and bade them eagerly to look for it in every comer.

"For the Arkenstone of my father," he said, "is worth more than a river of gold in itself, and to me it is beyond price. That stone of all the treasure I name unto myself, and I will be avenged on anyone who finds it and withholds it."

景杀哀太子大器、寻阳王大心，西阳王大钧、建平王大球、义安王大昕及王侯在建康者二十余人。太子神明端嶷，于景党未尝屈意，所亲窃问之，太子曰：“贼若于事义，未须见杀，吾虽陵慢呵叱，终不敢言。若见杀时至，虽一日百拜，亦无所益。”又曰：“殿下今居困阨，而神貌怡然，不贬平日，何也？”太子曰：“吾自度死日必在贼前，若诸叔能灭贼，贼必先见杀，然后就死。若其不然，贼亦杀我以取富贵，安能以必死之命为无益之愁乎！”及难，太子颜色不变。徐曰：“久知此事，嗟其晚耳！”刑者将以衣带绞之，太子曰：“此不能见杀，”命取帐绳绞之而绝。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bilbo heard these words and he grew afraid, wondering what would happen, if the stone was found-wrapped in an old bundle of tattered oddments that he used as a pillow. All the same he did not speak of it, for as the weariness of the days grew heavier, the beginnings of a plan had come into his little head.

壬戌，栋卽帝位。大赦，改元天正。太尉郭元建闻之，自秦郡驰还，谓景曰：“主上先帝太子，旣无愆夫，何得废之！”景曰：“王伟劝吾，云"早除民望"。吾故从之以安天下。”元建曰：“吾挟天子，令诸侯，犹惧不济，无故废之，乃所以自危，何安之有！”景欲迎帝复位，以栋为太孙。王伟曰：“废立大事，岂可数改邪！”乃止。

Things had gone on like this for some time, when the ravens brought news that Dain and more than five hundred dwarves, hurrying from the Iron Hills, were now within about two days' march of Dale, coming from the North-East.

"But they cannot reach the Mountain unmarked," said R(ac, "and I fear lest there be battle in the valley. I do not call this counsel good. Though they are a grim folk, they are not likely to overcome the host that besets you; and even if they did so, what will you gain?

ツけてそ

乙丑，景又使杀南海王大临于吴郡，南郡王大连于姑孰，安陆王大春于会稽，高唐王大壮于京口。以太子妃赐郭元建，元建曰：“岂有皇太子妃乃为人妾乎！”竟不与相见，听使入道。

丙寅，追尊昭明太子为昭明皇帝，豫章安王为安皇帝，金华敬妃为敬太皇太后，豫章太妃王氏为皇太后，妃张氏为皇后。以刘神茂为司空。

Winter and snow is hastening behind them. How shall you be fed without the friendship and goodwill of the lands about you? The treasure is likely to be your death, though the dragon is no more!"'

But Thorin was not moved. "Winter and snow will bite both men and elves," he said, "and they may find their dwelling in the Waste grievous to bear. With my friends behind them and winter upon them, they will perhaps be in softer mood to parley with."

九月，癸巳，齐主如赵、定二州，遂如晋阳。

That night Bilbo made up his mind. The sky was black and moonless. As soon as it was full dark, he went to a corner of an inner chamber just within the gate and drew from his bundle a rope, and also the Arkenstone wrapped in a rag. Then he climbed to the top of the wall. Only Bombur was there, for it was his turn to watch, and the dwarves kept only one watchman at a time.

"It is mighty cold!" said Bombur. "I wish we could have a fire up here as they have in the camp!"

己亥，湘东王绎以尚书令王僧辩为江州刺史，江州刺史陈霸先为东扬州刺史。

 

 

 

"It is warm enough inside," said Bilbo.

"I daresay; but I am bound here till midnight," grumbled the fat dwarf. "A sorry business altogether. Not that I venture to disagree with Thorin, may his beard grow ever longer; yet he was ever a dwarf with a stiff neck."

 

 

 

王伟说侯景弒太宗以绝众心，景从之。冬，十月，壬寅夜，伟与左卫将军彭隽、王修纂进酒于太宗曰：“丞相以陛下幽忧旣久，使臣等来上寿。”太宗笑曰：“已禅帝位，何得言陛下！此寿酒，将不尽此乎！”于是隽等赍曲项琵琶，与太宗极饮。太宗知将见杀，因尽醉，曰：“不图为乐之于斯也！”旣醉而寝。伟乃出，隽进土囊，修纂坐其上而殂。伟撤门扉为棺，迁殡于城北酒库中。太宗自幽絷之后，无复侍者及纸，乃书壁及板障，为诗及文数百篇，辞甚凄怆。景谥曰明皇帝，庙号高宗。

"Not as stiff as my legs," said Bilbo. "I am tired of stairs and stone passages. I would give a good deal for the feel of grass at my toes."

侯景之逼江陵也，湘东王绎求援于魏，命梁、秦二州刺史宜丰侯循以南郑与魏，召循还江陵。循以无故输城，非忠臣之节，报曰：“请待改命。”魏太师泰遣大将军达奚武将兵三万取汉中，又遣大将军王雄出子午谷，攻上津。循遣记室参军沛人刘璠求援于武陵王纪，纪遣潼州刺史杨干运救之。循，恢之子也。

"I would give a good deal for the feel of a strong drink in my throat, and for a soft bed after a good supper!"

"I can't give you those, while the siege is going on. But it is long since I watched, and I will take your turn for you, if you like. There is no sleep in me tonight."

王僧辩等闻太宗殂，丙辰，启湘东王绎，请上尊号，绎弗许。

"You are a good fellow, Mr. Baggins, and I will take your offer kindly. If there should be anything to note, rouse me first, mind you! I will lie in the inner chamber to the left, not far away."

 

司空、东道行台刘神茂闻侯景自巴丘败还，阴谋叛景，吴中士大夫咸劝之；乃与仪同三司尹思合、刘归义、王晔、云麾将军元頵等据东阳以应江陵，遣頵及别将李占下据建德江口。张彪攻永嘉，克之。新安民程灵洗起兵据郡以应神茂。于是浙江以东皆附江陵。湘东王绎以灵洗为谯州刺史，领新安太守。

 

"Off you go!" said Bilbo. "I will wake you at midnight, and you can wake the next watchman." As soon as Bombur had gone, Bilbo put on his ring, fastened his rope, slipped down over the wall, and was gone.

He had about five hours before him. Bombur would sleep (he could sleep at any time, and ever since the adventure in the forest he was always trying to recapture the beautiful dreams he had then); and all the others were busy with Thorin. It was unlikely that any, even Fili or Kili, would come out on the wall until it was their turn. It was very dark, and the road after a while, when he left the newly made path and climbed down towards the lower course of the stream, was strange to him.

十一月，乙亥，王僧辩等复上表劝进，湘东王绎不许。戊寅，绎以湘州刺史安南侯方矩为中卫将军以自副。方矩，方诸之弟也。以南平王恪为湘州刺史。侯景以赵伯超为东道行台，据钱塘；以田迁为军司，据富春；以李庆绪为中军都督，谢答仁为右厢都督，李遵为左厢都督，以讨刘神茂。

At last he came to the bend where he had to cross the water, if he was to make for the camp, as he wished. The bed of the stream was there shallow but already broad, and fording it in the dark was not easy for the little hobbit. He was nearly across when he missed his footing on a round stone and fell into the cold water with a splash. He had barely scrambled out on the far bank, shivering and spluttering, when up came elves in the gloom with bright lanterns and searched for the cause of the noise.

己卯，加侯景九锡，汉国置丞相以下官。己丑，豫章王栋禅位于景，景卽皇帝位于南郊。还，登太极殿，其党数万，皆吹唇呼噪而上。大赦，改元太始。封栋为淮阴王，并其二弟桥、樛同锁于密室。

"That was no fish!" one said. "There is a spy about. Hide your lights! They will help him more than us, if it is that queer little creature that is said to be their servant."

王伟请立七庙，景曰：“何谓七庙？”伟曰：“天子祭七世祖考。”并请七世讳，景曰：“前世吾不复记，唯记我父名标；且彼在朔州，那得来噉此！”众咸笑之。景党有知景祖名乙羽周者；自外皆王伟制其名位，追尊父标为元皇帝。

"Servant, indeed!" snorted Bilbo; and in the middle of his snort he sneezed loudly, and the elves immediately gathered towards the sound.

"Let's have a light!" he said. "I am here, if you want me!" and he slipped off his ring, and popped from behind a rock.

景之作相也，以西州为府，文武无尊卑皆引接；及居禁中，非故旧不得见，由是诸将多怨望。景好独乘小马，弹射飞鸟，王伟每禁止之，不许轻出。景郁郁不乐，更成失志，曰：“吾无事为帝，与受摈不殊。”

 

 

 

They seized him quickly, in spite of their surprise. "Who are you? Are you the dwarves' hobbit? What are you doing? How did you get so far past our sentinels?" they asked one after another.
