吉檀迦利 33

翻译~大唐长安

    白天他们走入我的房间里，

    他们说：“我们只用最小的屋子。”

    “我们想帮你礼拜上帝，

      我们只想恭敬地领受可得的一份恩典”；

    他们猫在一个角落，显得温顺而安静。

      但夜里他们却强行冲进圣堂，

      贪心地抢走了神坛上的祭品。

When it was day they came into my house and said,

`We shall only take the smallest room here. '

They said, `We shall help you in the worship of your God

and humbly accept only our own share in his grace';

and then they took their seat in a corner

and they sat quiet and meek.

But in the darkness of night

I find they break into my sacred shrine,

strong and turbulent,

and snatch with unholy greed the offerings from God's altar.
