11:1
ὡς δὲ καὶ οὗτος ταῖς βασάνοις καταικισθεὶς ἐναπέθανεν ὁ πέμπτος παρεπήδησεν λέγων
這人在酷刑中被凌虐而死，第五個就跳上前來，說：
And when he had died, disfigured in his torments, the fifth leaped forward, and said,
11:2
οὐ μέλλω τύραννε πρὸς τὸν ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀρετῆς βασανισμὸν παραιτεῖσθαι
「暴君哪，我絕不會推辭這為著美德而受的刑罰。
I intend not, O tyrant, to get excused from the torment which is in behalf of virtue.
11:3
αὐτὸς δ’ ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ παρῆλθον ὅπως κἀμὲ κατακτείνας περὶ πλειόνων ἀδικημάτων ὀφειλήσῃς τῇ οὐρανίῳ δίκῃ τιμωρίαν
我反倒自願前來，好叫你殺了我，因更多的罪行而欠天上公義一份更重的刑罰。
But I have come of my own accord, that by the death of me, you may owe heavenly vengeance a punishment for more crimes.
11:4
ὦ μισάρετε καὶ μισάνθρωπε τί δράσαντας ἡμᾶς τοῦτον πορθεῖς τὸν τρόπον
你這恨惡美德、恨惡人類的人哪，我們做了甚麼，你竟這樣以殘害我們為樂？
O you hater of virtue and of men, what have we done that you thus revel in our blood?
11:5
ὅτι τὸν πάντων κτίστην εὐσεβοῦμεν καὶ κατὰ τὸν ἐνάρετον αὐτοῦ ζῶμεν νόμον
莫非我們敬拜萬物的創造主、照著他美善的律法而活，在你看來竟是惡事麼？
Does it seem evil to you that we worship the Founder of all things, and live according to his surpassing law?
11:6
ἀλλὰ ταῦτα τιμῶν οὐ βασάνων ἐστὶν ἄξια
但這配得尊榮，不配受酷刑；
But this is worthy of honors, not torments;
11:7
εἴπερ ᾐσθάνου ἀνθρώπου πόθον καὶ ἐλπίδα εἶχες παρὰ Θεῷ σωτηρίου·
你若有人類更高尚的情操，又懷有從神而來得救的盼望，就會這樣看了。
had you been capable of the higher feelings of men, and possessed the hope of salvation from God.
11:8
νυνὶ δὲ ἀλλότριος ὢν Θεοῦ πολεμεῖς τοὺς εὐσεβοῦντας εἰς τὸν Θεόν.
看哪，如今你既與神為敵，就向那些敬畏神的人爭戰。」
Behold now, being alien from God, you make war against those who are religious toward God.
11:9
τοιαῦτα δὲ λέγοντα οἱ δορυφόροι δήσαντες αὐτὸν εἷλκον ἐπὶ τὸν καταπέλτην
他正說這些話，衛兵就把他綁起來，拖到彈射機那裡；
As he said this, the spearbearers bound him, and drew him to the catapelt:
11:10
ἐφ’ ὃν δήσαντες αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὰ γόνατα καὶ ταῦτα ποδάγραις σιδηραῖς ἐφαρμόσαντες τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ περὶ τροχιαῖον σφῆνα κατέκαμψαν περὶ ὃν ὅλος περὶ τὸν τροχὸν σκορπίου τρόπον ἀνακλώμενος ἐξεμελίζετο
他們把他綁在上面，使他屈膝，又用鐵鐐扣住，把他的腰彎在輪上的楔子上；他全身就如蠍子般繞著輪被扭曲、肢解。
to which binding him at his knees, and fastening them with iron fetters, they bent down his loins upon the wedge of the wheel; and his body was then dismembered, scorpion-fashion.
11:11
κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν τρόπον καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα στενοχωρούμενος καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀγχόμενος
他在這光景中，氣息被壓迫，身體被勒緊，仍說：
With his breath thus confined, and his body strangled, he said,
11:12
καλάς ἔλεγεν ἄκων ὦ τύραννε χάριτας ἡμῖν χαρίζῃ διὰ γενναιοτέρων πόνων ἐπιδείξασθαι παρέχων τὴν εἰς τὸν νόμον ἡμῶν καρτερίαν
「暴君哪，你雖出於無心，卻賜給我們美好的恩惠，使我們能藉著更高尚的苦難，顯出我們對律法的堅忍。」
A great favor you bestow upon us, O tyrant, by enabling us to manifest our adherence to the law by means of nobler sufferings.
11:13
τελευτήσαντος δὲ καὶ τούτου ὁ ἕκτος ἤγετο μειρακίσκος ὃς πυνθανομένου τοῦ τυράννου εἰ βούλοιτο φαγὼν ἀπολύεσθαι ὁ δὲ ἔφη
這人也死了，他們就帶出第六個來，是個少年。暴君問他是否願意喫了就得釋放，他卻說：
He also being dead, the sixth, quite a youth, was brought out; and on the tyrant asking him whether he would eat and be delivered, he said,
11:14
ἐγὼ τῇ μὲν ἡλικίᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μού εἰμι νεώτερος τῇ δὲ διανοίᾳ ἡλικιώτης
「我年紀雖比弟兄們小，心志卻與他們一樣成熟；
I am indeed younger than my brothers, but in understanding I am as old;
11:15
εἰς ταὐτὰ γὰρ γεννηθέντες καὶ ἀνατραφέντες ὑπὲρ τῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποθνῄσκειν ὀφείλομεν ὁμοίως
因為我們生來、養育都為著同一目的，也當照樣為著同一緣由而死。
for having been born and reared to the same end, we are bound to die also in behalf of the same cause.
11:16
ὥστε εἴ σοι δοκεῖ βασανίζειν μὴ μιαροφαγοῦντα βασάνιζε
所以你若認為該因我們不喫不潔之物而拷打我們，那就拷打吧！」
So that if you⌃ think proper to torment us for not eating the unclean, then torment!
11:17
ταῦτα αὐτὸν εἰπόντα παρῆγον ἐπὶ τὸν τροχόν
他說了這話，他們就把他帶到刑輪上。
As he said this, they brought him to the wheel.
11:18
ἐφ’ οὗ κατατεινόμενος ἐπιμελῶς καὶ ἐκσπονδυλιζόμενος ὑπεκαίετο
他被拉伸在輪上，四肢被扭折脫臼，又從下面慢慢被火烤炙。
Extended upon which, with limbs racked and dislocated, he was gradually roasted from beneath.
11:19
καὶ ὀβελίσκους ὀξεῖς πυρώσαντες τοῖς νώτοις προσέφερον καὶ τὰ πλευρὰ διαπείραντες αὐτοῦ τὰ σπλάγχνα διέκαιον
他們又把尖利的鐵簽燒熱，按在他的背上，刺穿他的兩肋，燒爛他的臟腑。
And having heated sharp spits, they approached them to his back; and having transfixed his sides, they burned away his entrails.
11:20
ὁ δὲ βασανιζόμενος ὦ ἱεροπρεποῦς ἀγῶνος ἔλεγεν ἐφ’ ὃν διὰ τὴν εὐσέβειαν εἰς γυμνασίαν πόνων ἀδελφοὶ τοσοῦτοι κληθέντες οὐκ ἐνικήθημεν
他在受刑時說：「這是何等莊嚴神聖的爭戰！為著敬虔，我們眾弟兄被召進這苦難的競技場，卻不曾被擊敗。
And he, while tormented, said, O period good and holy, in which, for the sake of religion, we kindred have been called to the contest of pain, and have not been conquered.
11:21
ἀνίκητος γάρ ἐστιν ὦ τύραννε ἡ εὐσεβὴς ἐπιστήμη
暴君哪，敬虔的見識是不可征服的。
For religious understanding, O tyrant, is unconquered.
11:22
καλοκἀγαθίᾳ καθωπλισμένος τεθνήξομαι κἀγὼ μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν μου
我必披戴高尚的德行，與我的弟兄一同赴死。
Armed with upright virtue, I also shall depart with my kindred.
11:23
μέγαν σοὶ καὶ αὐτὸς προσβάλλων ἀλάστορα καινουργὲ τῶν βασάνων καὶ πολέμιε τῶν ἀληθῶς εὐσεβούντων
你這酷刑的發明者、真正敬虔之人的仇敵哪，我也要帶著一位偉大的復仇者來面對你。
I, too, bearing with me a great avenger, O deviser of tortures, and enemy of the truly pious.
11:24
ἓξ μειράκια καταλελύκαμέν σου τὴν τυραννίδα
我們六個少年已經瓦解了你的暴政。
We six youths have destroyed your tyranny.
11:25
τὸ γὰρ μὴ δυνηθῆναί σε μεταπεῖσαι τὸν λογισμὸν ἡμῶν μήτε βιάσασθαι πρὸς τὴν μιαροφαγίαν οὐ κατάλυσίς ἐστίν σου
你既不能改變我們的理性，也不能強迫我們喫不潔之物，這豈不正是你的敗亡麼？
For is not your inability to overrule our reasoning, and to compel us to eat the unclean, your destruction?
11:26
τὸ πῦρ σου ψυχρὸν ἡμῖν καὶ ἄπονοι οἱ καταπέλται καὶ ἀδύνατος ἡ βία σου
你的火對我們是冰冷的，你的彈射機毫無痛楚，你的暴力也毫無能力。
Your fire is cold to us, your catapelts are painless, and your violence harmless.
11:27
οὐ γὰρ τυράννου ἀλλὰ θείου νόμου προεστήκασιν ἡμῶν οἱ δορυφόροι διὰ τοῦτο ἀνίκητον ἔχομεν τὸν λογισμόν
因為護衛我們的，不是暴君的衛兵，乃是神聖的律法；正因如此，我們的理性是不可征服的。」
For the guards not of a tyrant but of a divine law are our defenders: through this we keep our reasoning unconquered.
