Alternate English translations

Third Edition

Until now, whatever I may have said, I have been holding back back My working.

Today, never be off your guard even to look aside! There is no knowing what kinds of things are going to happen at any moment.

Inoue/Eynon

Even though, hitherto, I have repeatedly warned you, I have continued to restrain Myself.

Do not drop your guard now even for the blink of an eye. There is no telling when something may suddenly happen.

12:42, 43 Until now, no matter how strongly I warned you, I held back in allowing it to become reality. As of today, it will not do to even be unprepared in the slightest. This is because there is no knowing what will appear or when.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 183

四二、 四三、今までは、どのように厳しく注意してはいても、それを実現に現す事は控えていたが、今日となっては、少しの間も油断してはならぬ。何時どんな事が現れて来るか分からないから。
