“虚荣之儿女啊！

为了一个转瞬即逝的国度，

你们抛弃了我不灭的领土。你们还

用俗艳的服饰装扮自己，并以此为

傲。以我圣美之名！我要用一色之

土将这一切掩埋，并抹除所有杂色

异彩，唯有选择我的本色的人除

外，我的本色涤尽万色。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O CHILDREN OF VAINGLORY!
For a fleeting sovereignty ye have abandoned My imperishable dominion, and have adorned yourselves with the gay livery of the world and made of it your boast. By My beauty! All will I gather beneath the one-colored covering of the dust and efface all these diverse colors save them that choose My own, and that is purging from every color.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“迁出者啊！

我命定口舌用来颂扬我，别用

于诽谤而玷污它。若自我之火吞噬

了你，当反省自身之过，而非我受

造物之错，因为知己胜过知人。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O EMIGRANTS!
The tongue I have designed for the mention of Me, defile it not with detraction. If the fire of self overcome you, remember your own faults and not the faults of My creatures, inasmuch as every one of you knoweth his own self better than he knoweth others.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“尘土之子啊！

莫使你的眼离开不朽钟爱者的

无比琼浆，也别注目于必朽的污秽

糟粕。从神圣司酒者手中接取永生

之杯，你可拥有全部智慧，听闻无

形之境传来的玄妙之音。放声痛哭

吧，你们这些志向短浅之辈！你们

为何离弃我神圣不朽甘醇而转向易

逝之水？”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF DUST!
Turn not away thine eyes from the matchless wine of the immortal Beloved, and open them not to foul and mortal dregs. Take from the hands of the divine Cupbearer the chalice of immortal life, that all wisdom may be thine, and that thou mayest hearken unto the mystic voice calling from the realm of the invisible. Cry aloud, ye that are of low aim! Wherefore have ye turned away from My holy and immortal wine unto evanescent water?”

- Baha’u’llah -

“人之子啊！

我从我那深不可测的慈悲之

海，取出一滴甘露洒向世人，却发

现无人理会，因人人皆已离弃那合

一之天酿，转向那杂秽之糟粕，他

们抛掉恒美之杯，安于必朽之盏。

那般低劣之物，他们竟为之满足”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF MAN!
A dewdrop out of the fathomless ocean of My mercy I have shed upon the peoples of the world, yet found none turn thereunto, inasmuch as everyone hath turned away from the celestial wine of unity unto the foul dregs of impurity, and, content with mortal cup, hath put away the chalice of immortal beauty. Vile is that wherewith he is contented.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“朋友们啊！

确然我说，你们心中掩藏的一

切，在我看来昭然如昼；它们之所

以被隐藏，乃是出于我的恩泽与厚

爱，而非你们理应配得。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O FRIENDS!
Verily I say, whatsoever ye have concealed within your hearts is to Us open and manifest as the day; but that it is hidden is of Our grace and favor, and not of your deserving.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“尘土之子孙啊！

勿满足于一时的安逸，勿自丧

永恒的安宁。莫用那永乐之园换取

凡界尘堆。从你这牢狱，升至上天

荣耀绿地。由你这必朽的樊笼，飞

向太虚之乐园。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O OFFSPRING OF DUST!
Be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world. Up from thy prison ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight unto the paradise of the Placeless.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我之仆人啊！

莫为必朽之物放弃永生领土；

莫为凡尘之欲抛却上天国度。此乃

永生之河，流自慈悲者圣笔之泉；

饮之者，有福了！”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MY SERVANT!
Abandon not for that which perisheth an everlasting dominion, and cast not away celestial sovereignty for a worldly desire. This is the river of everlasting life that hath flowed from the wellspring of the pen of the merciful; well is it with them that drink!”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我的朋友们啊！

你们当熄灭这谬误之灯，在心

中点燃神圣指引的永恒火炬。因不

久后，在万众仰慕者之神圣尊前，

人类的鉴定者只接受最纯洁的品德

和最圣洁的行为。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MY FRIENDS!
Quench ye the lamp of error, and kindle within your hearts the everlasting torch of divine guidance. For ere long the assayers of mankind shall, in the holy presence of the Adored, accept naught but purest virtue and deeds of stainless holiness.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我天堂的居者啊！

我用慈爱之手，在天堂的圣园

种下你爱与友谊之苗，并以我仁恩

之甘霖灌浇。现在，结果的时候到

了，你当竭力保护它，莫让欲望与

激情之焰将它焚毁。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O DWELLERS OF MY PARADISE!
With the hands of loving-kindness I have planted in the holy garden of paradise the young tree of your love and friendship, and have watered it with the goodly showers of My tender grace; now that the hour of its fruiting is come, strive that it may be protected, and be not consumed with the flame of desire and passion.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“灵之子啊！

那时刻一到，神圣夜莺将不再

展露奥秘，你们都将丧失天国旋律

和上天妙音。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF SPIRIT!
The time cometh, when the nightingale of holiness will no longer unfold the inner mysteries and ye will all be bereft of the celestial melody and of the voice from on high.”

- Baha’u’llah -
