[翻譯] The Man Comes Around

本首歌曲曾用於殭屍電影「活人生吃」和HBO影集「殺戮世代」等影音作品，
內容多典出於聖經故事

不少殭屍作品營造氣氛的方法就是在故事裡讓宗教人士大聲疾呼：「這是啟示錄提及的世界終結、審判日！」
使得這首歌總覺得聽來很適合殭屍片呢
或是用在省視人間煉獄等慘劇場景(比如戰場)的作品也很搭

"The Man Comes Around"  -- Johnny Cash
行世之人

"And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder:
One of the four beasts saying: 'Come and see.'
And I saw. And behold, a white horse."

『於是我便聽見，有聲如雷霆，乃四獸其一開口說道：「你來！」』
『我就看，見有一匹白馬。』

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.
An' he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down.
When the man comes around.

那人行走於世，四處喊名
由他決定誰得救贖，誰遭譴罪
每人命運皆大不同
屆時光芒中天梯降臨
當那人重返於世

The hairs on your arm will stand up.
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
For you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's ground.
When the man comes around.

屆時你將寒毛直豎
每一食每一飲皆嚥下恐懼
屆時你會分得祝餐，亦或棄葬於窯田
當那人重返於世

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.
Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born an' some are dyin'.
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.

聽哪，號角大作，笛音四起
一億天使齊聲高唱
萬民向著鼓樂聚攏
有聲高喊，有聲哭叫
有人得生，有人將死
神的國度即將來到

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

風暴襲捲荒世
貞女備燈恭迎
風暴襲捲荒世
凡驅使你走的，必難反抗

Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.
Then the father hen will call his chickens home.
The wise men will bow down before the throne.
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown.
When the man comes around.

直至滅世之戰前，再無寧日
屆時天父將召回稚子
眾賢將跪向王座
真王前無人能稱王
當那人重返於世

Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around.

不義的，叫他仍是不義
行正的，叫他仍是行正
污穢的，叫他仍是污穢
聽那亙古前便流傳的真言
當那人重返於世

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.
One hundred million angels singin'.
Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum.
Voices callin', voices cryin'.
Some are born an' some are dyin'.
It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.

聽哪，號角大作，笛音四起
一億天使齊聲高唱
眾民向著鼓樂聚攏
有聲高喊，有聲哭叫
有人得生，有人將死
神的國度即將來到

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
The virgins are all trimming their wicks.
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

風暴襲捲荒世
貞女備燈恭迎
風暴襲捲荒世
凡驅使你走的，必難反抗

In measured hundredweight and penny pound.
When the man comes around.

每一言每一行都將估量
當那人重返於世

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him, was Death.
And Hell followed with him.

『我聽見四獸中，似乎有聲音，於是我就觀看，見有一匹灰馬。』
『那騎在馬上的，名叫死亡，地獄隨著他而來。』
