Second Treatise of Government — Page 8
And if any one in the state of nature may punish another for any evil he has done, every one may do so: for in that state of perfect equality, where naturally there is no superiority or jurisdiction of one over another, what any may do in prosecution of that law, every one must needs have a right to do.
그리고 만약 자연 상태에서 누군가가 타인이 행한 악행에 대해 그를 처벌할 수 있다면, 모든 사람이 그렇게 할 수 있다. 왜냐하면 자연적으로 어느 누구도 다른 이에 대해 우월성이나 관할권을 갖지 않는 완전한 평등의 상태에서, 어떤 사람이 그 법을 집행하기 위해 할 수 있는 것은 모든 사람이 반드시 행할 권리를 가져야 하기 때문이다.
Sect. 8. And thus, in the state of nature, one man comes by a power over another; but yet no absolute or arbitrary power, to use a criminal, when he has got him in his hands, according to the passionate heats, or boundless extravagancy of his own will; but only to retribute to him, so far as calm reason and conscience dictate, what is proportionate to his transgression, which is so much as may serve for reparation and restraint: for these two are the only reasons, why one man may lawfully do harm to another, which is that we call punishment.
제8절. 그리하여 자연 상태에서 한 사람은 타인에 대한 권력을 갖게 된다. 그러나 그것은 범죄자를 자신의 손아귀에 넣었을 때 격정적인 열기나 자신의 의지의 무한한 방종에 따라 사용할 수 있는 절대적이거나 자의적인 권력이 아니다. 다만 차분한 이성과 양심이 지시하는 바에 따라, 그의 위반에 비례하는 것, 즉 배상과 억제에 충분한 만큼만을 그에게 되갚아 줄 수 있는 권력이다. 이 두 가지가 한 사람이 다른 사람에게 합법적으로 해를 끼칠 수 있는 유일한 이유이며, 이것이 우리가 처벌이라고 부르는 것이다.
In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity, which is that measure God has set to the actions of men, for their mutual security; and so he becomes dangerous to mankind, the tye, which is to secure them from injury and violence, being slighted and broken by him.
자연의 법을 위반함으로써, 범죄자는 이성과 공통적 형평성의 규칙이 아닌 다른 규칙에 따라 살겠다고 스스로 선언하는 것이다. 이성과 공통적 형평성은 신이 인간의 행동에 대해 그들의 상호 안전을 위해 설정한 척도이다. 그리하여 그는 인류에게 위험한 존재가 되며, 그들을 상해와 폭력으로부터 보호해야 할 유대를 그가 경시하고 파괴한 것이다.
