10791.若做不到这一点，人类必灭亡；因为由于遗传，所有人都有一种与生俱来的掌控他人、占有他人财物的欲望，敌意、嫉妒、仇恨、报复、欺骗、残暴，以及其它许多邪恶便由此而来。因此，除非用法律，用支持他们的爱的赏赐，就是给予行善之人的重要地位和金钱利益，以及违背这些爱的惩罚，就是使作恶的人丧失重要地位、财产和生命来监管人类，否则，人类必灭亡。
Potts(1905-1910) 10791
10791. If this be not done, the human race will perish. For there is born in everyone, by inheritance, the desire to rule over others, and to possess the goods of others. From this come enmities, envyings, hatreds, revenges, deceits, fierce ragings, and many other evils; and therefore unless men are kept in bonds by laws, and by rewards suited to their loves, which are honors and gains for those who do good things; and by punishments contrary to their loves, which are the loss of honors, of possessions, and of life for those who do evil things, the human race must perish.
Elliott(1983-1999) 10791
10791. If this did not happen the human race would be destroyed; for owing to heredity all people have an innate desire to rule others and to possess other people's goods, and this gives rise to enmity, envy, hatred, vengeance, deceit, brutality, and very many other vices. Therefore unless they were held in check by means of laws and by means of rewards that support their loves (important positions and monetary gain for those whose deeds are good) and punishments that go against those loves (loss of important positions, possessions, and life for those whose deeds are bad), the human race would be destroyed.
Latin(1748-1756) 10791
10791. Si id non fit, peribit genus humanum, nam cuivis ex hereditario connatum est velle imperare aliis, ac possidere bona aliorum, unde inimicitiae, invidiae, odia, vindictae, doli, saevitiae, et plura alia mala; quapropter nisi in vinculis teneantur per leges, et per remunerationes convenientes amoribus eorum, quae sunt honores et lucra pro illis qui bona faciunt, ac per per punitiones contrarias amoribus illis, quae sunt jacturae honorum, possessionum, et vitae, pro illis qui mala faciunt, periturum esset genus humanum.
