天主

I thought it was going to rain, and I re -ente re d the town, to seek the re cess of a doorway

我想天要下雨了，又没有好天主阻挡下雨，我再回到城里，想找个门洞。

For Israel and Judah are not widowed of their God, the LORD of hosts, And the Chaldean land is full of guilt to be punished by the Holy One of Israel.

因为他们的国土，充满了反抗以色列圣者的罪恶；可是以色列和犹大并未成为寡妇，也未丧失自己的天主，万军的上主。

And I chid them, and laid my curse upon them. And I beat some of them, and shaved off their hair, and made them swear by God that they would not give their daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for their sons, nor for themselves, saying

我遂责斥咒骂这样的男人，其中一些我还打了他们，扯了他们的头发，叫他们指著天主起誓，向他们说：「你们不可再把你们的女儿，嫁给他们的儿子，也不可再为你们的儿子并为你们自己，娶他们的女儿。

1 Better is childlessness with virtue; for immortal is its memory: because both by God is it acknowledged, and by men.

更好是无子而有道德，因为道德的记念，永存不朽，常为天主和世人所赏识。

And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and will be their God

我要住在以色列子民中，作他们的天主。

The system consists of a personal techno-garter, inspired by the "Opus Dei" cilice popularized in Dan Brown's novel The DaVinci Code, worn on the thigh, that communicates wirelessly to a set of low-power sensors measuring the wearer's personal energy consumption. If the wearer's electricity use exceeds a certain limit, the device plunges stainless-steel thorns into the thigh to remind users of both their complicity in the planet's demise and mortality.

此系统受Dan Brown『达文西密码』小说中天主事工会徒所用苦修带的启发，是一个个人使用的科技袜带，穿在大腿上，用无线电跟一组用来量测穿戴者个人能源消耗的低功率感应器互相通信；一旦穿戴者的用电量超过某一设定的限制，系统会将内藏的不锈钢针刺入穿戴者的大腿，以提醒他在加速星球死亡的犯行。

A good, generous prayer it was, and went into details: it pleaded for the church, and the little children of the church; for the other churches of the village; for the village itself; for the county; for the State; for the State officers; for the United States; for the churches of the United States; for Congress; for the President; for the officers of the Government; for poor sailors, tossed by stormy seas; for the oppressed millions groaning under the heel of European monarchies and Oriental despotisms; for such as have the light and the good tidings, and yet have not eyes to see nor ears to hear withal; for the heathen in the far islands of the sea; and closed with a supplication that the words he was about to speak might find grace and favor, and be as seed sown in fertile ground, yielding in time a grateful harvest of good.

这是一篇很好的、内容丰富的祷告词，面面俱到：它为教堂和里面的孩子们祈祷；为全县向主求福；为漂泊在狂风暴雨的海洋上可怜的水手们求福；为被迫在欧洲君主制度和东方专制制度铁蹄下呻吟着的数万劳苦大众求福；为那些有了教主的光和福音而熟视无睹、充耳不闻的人求福；为远处海岛上的那些异帮教徒求福；最后牧师祈求天主恩准他所说的话，希望他的话像播种在肥沃土地里的种子一样，将会开花结果，造福无穷。

The mountebanks gave out that the tricolored cockade was a unique phenomenon made by God expressly for their menagerie.

耍把戏的人宣称那三色帽徽式的眼睛是一种独一无二的现相，是慈悲的天主特为他们那动物陈列馆创造出来的。

For us it is sufficient simply to know that nothing was coeval with God.

从此，我们只要知道以下事实就够了：最初没有任何事物和天主同时存在。

God, subsisting alone, and having nothing coeval with himself, chose to create the world.

天主是独一无二的；祂决定创造世界时，仍无任何与祂同时存在的事物。

She gently rebuff ed him, but agreed that they could be friends

If in the penal farm, you were sure to be criticized.

要是在劳改农场，你等着挨绳子吧！
