Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom.
阿布·本·阿德罕姆（愿他的部族兴盛！）
一天夜里，他正安然于沉梦，
忽见屋内月色愈加皎洁清澄，
原是一位天使，像盛开的百合.
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
‘What writest thou?’—The vision rais’d its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answer’d, ‘The names of those who love the Lord.’
正在书写它那金色的薄册：——
非常安静的生活让阿布有些胆大，
他冲着屋内的天使发话：
“你在写什么？”——天使抬起头，
一脸慈眉善目地开口：
“热爱上帝的善民名单。”
‘And is mine one?’ asked Abou. ‘Nay, not so,’
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerly still; and said, ‘I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men.’
“里面是否有我？”阿布寻探。
天使答道：“否”。阿布放低声音，
但仍兴高采烈：“求你把我写进，
告诉他我热爱他的臣民。”
The angel wrote, and vanish’d. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And show’d the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.
天使写好，随即飞走。第二天夜里，
带着唤醒人的圣光回到原地，
名单上哪些人得到上帝的保佑
看啊！本•阿德罕姆名列榜首。
