Codex Entry 67:The Chant of Light on the commandments of the Maker


These truths the Maker has revealed to me:
As there is but one world,
One life, one death, there is
But one god, and He is our Maker.
They are sinners, who have given their love
To false gods.

Magic exists to serve man, and never to rule over him.
Foul and corrupt are they
Who have taken His gift
And turned it against His children.
They shall be named Maleficar, accursed ones.
They shall find no rest in this world
Or beyond.

All men are the Work of our Makers Hands,
From the lowest slaves
To the highest kings.
Those who bring harm
Without provocation to the least of His children
Are hated and accursed by the Maker.

Those who bear false witness
And work to deceive others, know this:
There is but one Truth.
All things are known to our Maker
And He shall judge their lies.

All things in this world are finite.
What one man gains, another has lost.
Those who steal from their brothers and sisters
Do harm to their livelihood and to their peace of mind.
Our Maker sees this with a heavy heart.
--Transfigurations1:1-5


第六十七卷：光明之歌：造物主的戒律

这是造物主揭示给我的真相：
我们只有一个世界
一个生命，一次死亡
一位真神，他就是我们的造物主。
他们是罪人，那些将他们的爱
给予了假神的人

魔法的存在是为了服务人类，而不是控制他们
他们是丑陋和堕落的
那些得到了他的礼物
却又用它来敌对他的人
他们会被命名为放逐法师，受诅咒的人
他们将不会在这个世界上找到安息之处
也不会在任何世界找到

所有的人类都是造物主创造的结晶
从最低下的奴隶
到最崇高的国王
那些无缘无故
对他的子民做出侵害的人
将会受到造物主的怒火和诅咒

那些做假证的人
那些欺骗他人的人，记住：
真相只有一个。
并且造物主无所不知
他将会审判他们的谎言

这个世界中的一切都是有限的
一个人得到了，另一个人就会失去
那些从他的兄弟姐妹处偷窃的人
它们将难以生存并难以安息
我们的造物主内心沉重地看着这一切
