【英译汉】鲁米诗 《主仆对话》(Roxana译)

谁在我家的门口

祂问：谁在我家的门口？

我答：伱谦卑的仆人。

祂问：你欲何为？

我答：平安，我的主。

祂问：你会旅行多久？

我答：直到伱阻止我。

祂问：你会在烈火中坚持多久？

我答：直到我纯一不杂。

Who is at my door?

He said, “Who is at my door?”

I said, “Your humble servant.”

He said, “What business do you have?”

I said, “To greet you, 0 Lord.”

He said, “How long will you journey on?”

I said, “Until you stop me.”

He said, “How long will you boil in the fire?”

I said, “Until I am pure.

“This is my oath of love.

For the sake of love

I gave up wealth and position.”

这是我的爱情誓言

为了爱情

我甘愿放弃富有和地位

“This is my oath of love.

For the sake of love

I gave up wealth and position.”

祂说：你已申辩你的事例，但你无证据

我说：我的泪水是我的见证

我苍白的面孔是我的证明

祂说：你的证据没有可信性

你的双眼湿润，辨不清

我说：以伱至公之名

我的双目是清澈无暇

He said, “You have pleaded your case

but you have no witness.”

I said, “My tears are my witness;

the pallor of my face is my proof.’

He said, “Your witness has no credibility;

your eyes are too wet to see.”

I said, “By the splendor of your justice

my eyes are clear and faultless.”

祂问：你在寻找什么

我答：希望伱成为我的挚友

祂问：你想从我这获得什么

我答：无限伱的恩典。

祂问：谁是你在旅途中的伙伴

我答：追寻您的足迹者，哦，国王。

祂问：是什么呼唤你来这

我答：伱的爱美丽芬芳

He said, “What do you seek?”

I said, “To have you as my constant friend.”

He said, “What do you want from me?”

I said, “Your abundant grace.”

He said, “Who was your companion on the ‘ourney?

I said, “The thought of you, 0 King.”

He said, “What called you here?”

I said, “The fragrance of your wine.”

祂问：何事能满足你？

我答：国王的挚友。

祂问：你在这寻找什么？

我答：一百个奇迹。

祂问：那宫殿为何荒废？

我答：他们都恐惧窃贼。

祂问：谁是窃贼？

我答：让我远离伱的人。

祂问：何处安全？

我答：爱人律己

他问：要舍弃什么？

我答：拯救的希望。

He said, “What brings you the most fulfillment?”

I said, “The company of the Emperor.”

He said, “What do you find there?”

I said, “A hundred miracles.”

He said, “Why is the palace deserted?”

I said, “They all fear the thief.”

He said, “Who is the thief?”

I said, “The one who keeps me from -you.

He said, “Where is there safety?”

I said, “In service and renunciation.”

He said, “What is there to renounce?”

I said, “The hope of salvation.”

祂问：何处有灾难？

我答：在伱的慈爱里

祂问：伱欲怎样从今生受益？

我答：通过忠于自己。

现在是安静时刻

如果我告诉你：祂的真实身份

你会冲破自我束缚

任凭展翅高飞

门和屋顶无法阻挡你

He said, “Where is there calamity?”

I said, “In the presence of your love.”

He said, “How do you benefit from this life?”

I said, “By keeping true to myself

Now it is time for silence.

If I told you about His true essence

You would fly from your self and be gone,

and neither door nor roof could hold you back!
