中部130經/天使經(空品[13])(莊春江譯)[MA.64, AA.32.4]
被我這麼聽聞：
有一次，
世尊住在舍衛城祇樹林給孤獨園。
在那裡，世尊召喚
比丘們：「比丘們！」
「
尊師！」那些比丘回答世尊。
世尊說這個：
「比丘們！猶如兩間有門的屋舍，在那裡，有眼的男子們站在中間看見進入及離開家屋，散步及漫步的人們。同樣的，比丘們！我以清淨、超越常人的天眼看見死沒往生的眾生：下劣的、勝妙的，美的、醜的，善去的、惡去的，知道依業到達的眾生：『確實，這些尊師眾生具備身善行、具備語善行、具備意善行，是對聖者不斥責者、正見者、正見行為的受持者，他們以身體的崩解，死後已往生善趣、天界。又或這些尊師眾生具備身善行、具備語善行、具備意善行，是對聖者不斥責者、正見者、正見行為的受持者，他們以身體的崩解，死後已往生人間。確實，這些尊師眾生具備身惡行、具備語惡行、具備意惡行，是對聖者斥責者、邪見者、邪見行為的受持者，他們以身體的崩解，死後已往生
餓鬼界，又或這些尊師眾生具備身身惡行、具備語惡行、具備意惡行，是對聖者斥責者、邪見者、邪見行為的受持者，他們以身體的崩解，死後已往生畜生界，又或這些尊師眾生具備身身惡行、具備語惡行、具備意惡行，是對聖者斥責者、邪見者、邪見行為的受持者，他們以身體的崩解，死後已往生
苦界、惡趣、
下界、地獄。』(261)
比丘們！獄卒們隨即在不同手臂處捉住後，對
閻摩王展現：『大王！這位男子是不孝順母親者、不孝順父親者、不
尊敬沙門者、不尊敬婆羅門者、不尊敬家族中長輩者，請大王對這位判決處罰。』[AN.3.36]
比丘們！閻摩王對他審問、質問、追究第一位天使：『喂！男子！你沒看見在人間第一位天使出現？』他這麼說：『大德！沒看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你在人間沒看見已落入自己糞尿中躺臥著的、年幼愚鈍仰臥的男童？』他這麼說：『大德！看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！有識的、具念的、老練的那個你不想這個：「我也有
生法，未超越生，來吧！我要以身、以語、以意做善的。」嗎？』他這麼說：『大德！我沒能夠，大德！我放逸。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你以放逸，不以身、以語、以意做善的，喂！男子！確實，他們將如那個放逸者那樣處置你。還有，那個你的這個惡業既不被母親做，也不被父親做，也不被兄弟做，也不被姊妹做，也不被朋友同事做，也不被親族血親做，也不被沙門婆羅門做，也不被諸天做，這個惡業就被你做，僅你將感受這個果報。』(262)

比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你在人間沒看見從出生八十歲或九十歲或百歲的、年老的、像
椽木那樣歪曲的、彎曲的、拐杖為依怙顫抖著行走的、病苦的、青春已逝的、斷牙的、白髮的、掉髮禿頭的、有皺紋的、肢體帶斑點的女子或男子？』他這麼說：『大德！看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！有識的、具念的、老練的那個你不想這個：「我也有

比丘們！閻摩王對他審問、質問、追究第三位天使後，對他審問、質問、追究第四位天使：『喂！男子！你沒見過第四位天使出現在人間嗎？』他這麼說：『大德！沒看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你在人間沒看見國王們捕捉盜賊、罪犯後，使施加種種刑罰：以鞭打，也以棒打，也以手杖打，也切斷手，也切斷腳，也切斷手與腳，也切斷耳，也切斷鼻，也切斷耳與鼻，也施加酸粥鍋刑，也施加貝禿刑，也施加羅侯口刑，也施加火鬘刑，也施加燭手刑，也施加驅行刑，也施加樹皮衣刑，也施加羚羊刑，也施加鉤肉刑，也施加錢刑，也施加鹼浴刑，也施加扭轉門閂刑，也施加稻草足踏台刑，也淋熱油，也使以諸狗咬，也使活者在尖物上刺入，也以刀切斷頭？』他這麼說：『大德！看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！有識的、具念的、老練的那個你不想這個：「
先生！確實，凡做諸惡業者，他們在當生中被施加種種刑罰，又，更何況在來世！來吧！我要以身、以語、以意做善的。」嗎？』他這麼說：『大德！我沒能夠，大德！我放逸。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你以放逸，不以身、以語、以意做善的，喂！男子！確實，他們將如那個放逸者那樣處置你。還有，那個你的這個惡業既不被母親做，也不被父親做，也不被兄弟做，也不被姊妹做，也不被朋友同事做，也不被親族血親做，也不被沙門婆羅門做，也不被諸天做，這個惡業就被你做，僅你將感受這個果報。』(265)
比丘們！閻摩王對他審問、質問、追究第四位天使後，對他審問、質問、追究第五位天使：『喂！男子！你沒見過第五位天使出現在人間嗎？』他這麼說：『大德！沒看見。』
比丘們！閻摩王對他這麼說：『喂！男子！你在人間沒看見死一天的，死兩天的，死三天的，腫脹的、青瘀的、生爛膿的女子或男子？』他這麼說：『大德！看見。』

比丘們！閻摩王對他審問、質問、追究第五位天使後保持沈默。比丘們！獄卒們對他作五種繫縛刑罰：使赤熱鐵棒走入手掌中，使赤熱鐵棒走入第二隻手掌，使赤熱鐵棒走入腳掌中，使赤熱鐵棒走入第二隻腳掌中，使赤熱鐵棒走入中間胸部中。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！獄卒們使他躺臥後以斧頭削……（中略）。比丘們！獄卒們腳上頭下抓住他後，以小斧削他……（中略）。比丘們！獄卒們使在車上上軛後，使在熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的地上前行及回來……（中略）。比丘們！獄卒們使他登上熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的大炭火山，及下來……（中略）。比丘們！獄卒們腳上頭下抓住他後，扔入熱的、熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的銅鍋中，他在那裡被起泡沫地煮。在那裡，被起泡沫地煮的他有時向上走，有時也向下走，有時也橫向走，他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！獄卒們扔他入大地獄，比丘們！又，那個大地獄：
四個角落有四個門，被等分量地分開，
周邊為鐵壁，被鐵覆蓋。
它的地是鐵製的，被火繫結、燃燒，
全部一百由旬，時時遍佈後存續。(267)
比丘們！又，火焰從那個大地獄的東牆噴出(奮起)碰撞西牆，火焰從西牆噴出碰撞東牆，火焰從北牆噴出碰撞南牆，火焰從南牆噴出碰撞北牆，火焰從下面噴出碰撞上面，火焰從上面噴出碰撞下面。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！有那個時候，凡經過長時間偶爾那個大地獄的東門被打開，他在那裡快速地、急速地跑[向它]。當快速地、急速地跑時，他的外皮被燒，內皮也被燒，肉也被燒，筋也被燒，骨頭也冒大煙，抬起的[腳]就是像那樣。比丘們！當他快到達時，那時，那個門被關閉。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！有那個時候，凡經過長時間偶爾那個大地獄的西門被打開……（中略）北門被打開……（中略）南門被打開，他在那裡快速地、急速地跑。當快速地、急速地跑時，他的外皮被燒，內皮也被燒，肉也被燒，筋也被燒，骨頭也冒大煙，抬起的就是像那樣。比丘們！當他快到達時，那時，那個門被關閉。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！有那個時候，凡經過長時間偶爾那個大地獄的東門被打開，他在那裡快速地、急速地跑。當快速地、急速地跑時，他的外皮被燒，內皮也被燒，肉也被燒，筋也被燒，骨頭也冒大煙，抬起的就是像那樣。他以那個門出去。(268)
比丘們！又，那個大地獄的無間伴隨者就是大糞便地獄，他在那裡跌落。比丘們！又，在那個糞便地獄中諸針口眾生切開(切斷)外皮；切開外皮後，切開內皮；切開內皮後，切開肉；切開肉後，切開筋；切開筋後，切開骨頭；切開骨頭後，吃骨髓。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！又，那個糞便地獄的無間伴隨者就是大熱灰地獄，他在那裡跌落。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！又，那個熱灰地獄的無間伴隨者就是大絲綿樹林：上昇一由旬高的，有熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的十六指尺荊棘。他們在那裡使之登上，以及使之下來。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！又，那個絲綿樹林的無間伴隨者就是大劍葉林，他在那裡進入。被風吹動落下的諸葉片切斷他的手、腳、手與腳、耳、鼻、耳與鼻。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！又，那個劍葉林的無間伴隨者就是大鹼水河，他在那裡跌落。在那裡，他被順流地流走，也被逆流地流走，也被順流逆流地流走。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。(269)
比丘們！獄卒們以釣鉤拉起他後，使在陸地上站住後這麼說：『喂！男子！你想要什麼？』他這麼說：『大德！我饑餓。』比丘們！獄卒們以熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的赤熱鐵釘對他打開嘴後，以熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的熱鐵球丟入嘴中，它燃燒他的唇，也燃燒嘴，也燃燒喉，也燃燒胃，取腸及腸繫膜以下的部分出去。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。
比丘們！獄卒們說這個：『喂！男子！你想要什麼？』他這麼說：『大德！我口渴。』比丘們！獄卒們以熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的熱鐵釘打對他開嘴後，以熾然的，燃燒的、發紅的赤熱[熔]銅灌入嘴中，它燃燒他的唇，也燃燒嘴，也燃燒喉，也燃燒胃，取腸及腸繫膜以下的部分出去。他在那裡感受苦的、激烈的、猛烈的、強烈的感受，且都不命終，直到那個惡業消滅。比丘們！獄卒們再扔他入大地獄。
比丘們！從前，閻摩王想這個：『先生！確實，凡世間做諸惡不善業者，他們被施加像這樣的種種刑罰，啊！確實，願我得到人的狀態、願
如來、
阿羅漢、
遍正覺者在世間出現(生起)、願我侍奉世尊、願那位世尊為我教導法、願我了知那位世尊的法。』
比丘們！又，我非聽聞其他沙門或婆羅門的後說這個，而是，我只就自己知道的、自己看見的、自己發現的說。」(270)
世尊說這個，說這個後，
善逝、
大師又更進一步說這個：
「被天使們督促，凡人們放逸，
他們長時間憂愁，到達下劣身的人們。
而凡這裡諸善者諸善人，被天使督促，
他們在聖者法上，隨時不放逸。
在生死的生起上，在取著上看見恐怖後，
在生死的消滅上，不執取後他們被解脫。
他們是到達安穩者、有樂者，當生寂滅者，
一切怨恨恐懼已過去，超越一切苦。」(271)
