爱的战斗

 The Battle of Love --Rumi
爱的战斗
This battle of Love is getting hotter.
The source of its heat is beyond time and space:
from the sparks of its fire the smoke of seven Hells is rising.
这场爱的战斗变得越来越火热了。
它的热的源头超越了时间和空间：
来自七重地狱不断上升的火花烟尘。
But Hell is extinguished by Love’s burning.
Hell says to the sincere lover, “Go quickly,
or my fire will be destroyed by your flames.”
但地狱被爱烧光了。
地狱对虔诚的恋人说：「快走开，
要不然我的火就要被你的火焰给毁灭。」
Watch how this breath of Love dissolves
unfaithfulness, the brimstone to this passionate Love,
看这爱之呼吸如何消融
不忠实，将地狱之火变成这激烈的爱，
and neither these Hells
nor what sparks them
will assail you.
不管是这些地狱
还是点燃它们的东西
都不再困扰你。
Paradise, too, says to the lover,
“Pass over me like the breeze,
or all I possess will become unsalable;
天堂也对恋人说：
「像微风一样略过我吧，
要不然我拥有的一切都会变得无人闻问；
“for you are the original owner
and I’m just the advertisement:
I am the idol, while you are the reality.”
「由于你是原来的拥有者
我只是广告：
我是偶像，而你是真实。」
Both Hell and Paradise tremble
before the man or woman of faith:
neither feels safe in the presence of the truly faithful.
在有信仰的男女面前
地狱和天堂都颤抖：
在有真信仰的人当前两者都感到不安。
