GOSHO 上野殿御返事(孝不孝御書) On Filial and Unfilial Conduct 3

目連尊者の母の餓鬼(がき)(どう)の苦をすく()ひしは・わ()かに人天の苦をすくひて・いまだ成仏のみち()にはいれず、

The Venerable Maudgalyāyana rescued his mother from the suffering of the realm of hungry spirits. However, he was only able to lead her to the worlds of human and heavenly beings, and could not enable her to enter the path of attaining Buddhahood.

The worthy Maudgalyayana set his mother free from her sufferings in the World of Hunger, but unable to lead to Buddhahood, he only succeeded in providing her the salvation of the Worlds of Humanity and Heaven.

釈迦如来は御年三十の時・父(じょう)(ぼん)(のう)に法を説いて第四果を()せしめ給へり、

The Thus Come One Shakyamuni, at the age of thirty, expounded a teaching to his father, King Shuddhodana, enabling him to reach the fourth and highest level of attainment.

When he was thirty, Shakyamuni taught his father, King Shuddhodana, a doctrine that made it possible for him to attain the fourth and highest stage of Hinayana.

母の摩耶(まや)夫人をば御年三十八の時・阿羅漢果をえせしめ給へり、

And at the age of thirty-eight, he enabled his mother, Lady Māyā, to attain the stage of arhat.

At the age of thirty-eight, he enabled his mother, Lady Maya, to also reach the stage of Arhat.

此等は孝養に()たれども(かえ)つて仏に不孝のとが()あり、わづかに六道をば()なれしめたれども父母をば(よう)不成仏の道に入れ給へり。

Yet while such deeds may resemble filial conduct, the Buddha was in fact guilty of unfilial behavior, for though he freed his parents from the six paths, he caused them to enter a path that would never lead to Buddhahood.

These acts of the Buddha would seem to be filial, yet they were anything but; for although he liberated his father and mother from the Six Paths, he led them down another path which, for all eternity, never reaches Buddhahood.

(たと)へば太子を凡下(ぼんげ)の者となし王女を匹夫(ひっぷ)にあはせたるが如し。

This is like reducing a crown prince to the status of commoner, or like marrying a princess to a man of lowly birth.

It would be like demoting a crown price to the rank of commoner or marrying a princess off to a man of low status.
