39:0.1 (426.1) AS FAR as we are cognizant, the Infinite Spirit, as personalized on the local universe headquarters, intends to produce uniformly perfect seraphim, but for some unknown reason these seraphic offspring are very diverse. This diversity may be a result of the unknown interposition of evolving experiential Deity; if so, we cannot prove it. But we do observe that, when seraphim have been subjected to educational tests and training discipline, they unfailingly and distinctly classify into the following seven groups:
39:0.1 (426.1) 據我們所知，人格化於地方宇宙總部的無限之靈，意欲產生同等完美的熾天使，但由於某種未知的原因，這些熾天使的子嗣極為多樣。這種多樣性可能是由演化中經驗性神靈之未知介入所致；若如此，我們無法證明。但我們的確注意到，當熾天使們接受教育測試與訓練紀律後，他們毫無例外且明確地被歸入以下七個群組：
39:0.2 (426.2) 1. Supreme Seraphim.
39:0.2 (426.2) 1. 至上熾天使。
39:0.3 (426.3) 2. Superior Seraphim.
39:0.3 (426.3) 2. 高等熾天使。
39:0.4 (426.4) 3. Supervisor Seraphim.
39:0.4 (426.4) 3. 監督者熾天使。
39:0.5 (426.5) 4. Administrator Seraphim.
39:0.5 (426.5) 4. 行政者熾天使。
39:0.6 (426.6) 5. Planetary Helpers.
39:0.6 (426.6) 5. 行星助手。
39:0.7 (426.7) 6. Transition Ministers.
39:0.7 (426.7) 6. 過渡事奉者。
39:0.8 (426.8) 7. Seraphim of the Future.
39:0.8 (426.8) 7. 未來之熾天使。
39:0.9 (426.9) To say that any one seraphim is inferior to an angel of any other group would hardly be true. Nevertheless every angel is at first service-limited to the group of original and inherent classification. My seraphic associate in the preparation of this statement, Manotia, is a supreme seraphim and onetime functioned only as a supreme seraphim. By application and devoted service she has, one by one, achieved all seven of the seraphic services, having functioned in well-nigh every avenue of activity open to a seraphim, and now holds the commission of associate chief of seraphim on Urantia.
39:0.9 (426.9) 要說任何一位熾天使低於任何其它群組的天使，這是不正確的。然而，每位天使起先都在服務上受限於其原初且固有的分類。我準備此篇陳述時的熾天使夥伴曼諾莎（Manotia），是一名至上熾天使，且一度只履行至上熾天使的職能。藉由勤勉與虔誠服務，她已經逐一達成了所有七種熾天使服務，幾乎在每一種對熾天使敞開的活動途徑中都運作過，且且現持有玉苒廈上熾天使協同首長的委任。
39:0.10 (426.10) Human beings sometimes find it hard to understand that a created capacity for higher-level ministry does not necessarily imply ability to function on relatively lower service levels. Man begins life as a helpless infant; hence every mortal attainment must embrace all experiential prerequisites; seraphim have no such preadult life—no childhood. They are, however, experiential creatures, and by experience and through additional education they can augment their divine and inherent endowment of ability by the experiential acquirement of functional skill in one or more of the seraphic services.
39:0.10 (426.10) 人類存有有時覺得難以理解，為較高級層次事奉而受造的能力稟賦，並不必然意味著具備在相對較低服務層級上履行職能的能力。人作為無助的嬰兒開始其生命；因此，每一次的凡人達致，都必須涵蓋一切經驗性的先決條件；熾天使並沒有這種成年前的生活──沒有童年。然而，他們是經驗性受造物，藉由經歷與額外的教育，他們可以透過在一種或多種的熾天使服務中，職能技巧之經驗性獲得，來擴增其神聖且固有能力之稟賦。
39:0.11 (426.11) After being commissioned, seraphim are assigned to the reserves of their inherent group. Those of planetary and administrator status often serve for long periods as originally classified, but the higher the inherent function level, the more persistently do the angelic ministers seek assignment to the lower orders of universe service. Especially do they desire assignment to the reserves of the planetary helpers, and if successful they enroll in the celestial schools attached to the headquarters of the Planetary Prince of some evolutionary world. Here they begin the study of the languages, history, and local habits of the races of mankind. Seraphim must acquire knowledge and gain experience much as do human beings. They are not far removed from you in certain personality attributes. And they all crave to start at the bottom, on the lowest possible level of ministry; thus may they hope to achieve the highest possible level of experiential destiny.
39:0.11 (426.11) 在受委任後，熾天使們被分配到其固有群體的後備團隊中。那些行星及行政者地位的熾天使，往往依原初分類服務很長一段時期。然而固有的職能層級越高，這些天使事奉者就越堅持不懈地尋求被分配到較低類別的宇宙服務中。他們尤其渴望被分配到行星助手的後備團隊，如能成功，他們就會進入附屬於某個演化世界行星君王總部的天界學校就讀。在這裡，他們開始學習人類種族的語言、歷史與當地習俗。熾天使必須像人類存有一樣獲取知識並積累經驗。在某些人格屬性上，他們與你們相去不遠。而且，他們都渴望從底層——最低可能的事奉層級——開始；由此，他們方能冀望達成經驗性天命之最高可能層級。
39:1.1 (427.1) These seraphim are the highest of the seven revealed orders of local universe angels. They function in seven groups, each of which is closely associated with the angelic ministers of the Seraphic Corps of Completion.
39:1.1 (427.1) 這些熾天使是七個已揭示類別的地方宇宙天使中最高的一類。他們分為七個群組履行職能，每個群組都與熾天使完成團隊（Seraphic Corps of Completion）的天使事奉者緊密相聯。
39:1.2 (427.2) 1. Son-Spirit Ministers. The first group of the supreme seraphim are assigned to the service of the high Sons and Spirit-origin beings resident and functioning in the local universe. This group of angelic ministers also serve the Universe Son and the Universe Spirit and are closely affiliated with the intelligence corps of the Bright and Morning Star, the universe chief executive of the united wills of the Creator Son and the Creative Spirit.
39:1.2 (427.2) 1. 聖子-靈事奉者。至上熾天使的第一個群組，被指派服務於那些常駐於地方宇宙，並在其中履行職能的高階聖子與靈源存有。這類天使事奉者們也為宇宙之子與宇宙之靈服務，且緊密附屬於明亮晨星的情報團隊，而明亮晨星是造物聖子與創造之靈聯合意志的宇宙首席執行官。
39:1.3 (427.3) Being of assignment to the high Sons and Spirits, these seraphim are naturally associated with the far-flung services of the Paradise Avonals, the divine offspring of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit. The Paradise Avonals are always attended on all magisterial and bestowal missions by this high and experienced order of seraphim, who are at such times devoted to organizing and administering the special work connected with the termination of one planetary dispensation and the inauguration of a new age. But they are not concerned in the work of adjudication which might be incidental to such a change in dispensations.
39:1.3 (427.3) 這些被委派給高階聖子與眾靈的熾天使，自然地與天堂艾沃諾——永恆之子與無限之靈的神性子嗣——的廣泛服務相聯。天堂艾沃諾在履行所有審斷與贈予使命時，始終由這一高階且經驗豐富的熾天使所隨侍，在這些使命期間，他們致力於組織與管理那些與一個行星天命時期之終結以及另一個新時代之開啟相連的特殊工作。但他們並不涉及可能伴隨此類天命時期更替而發生的裁決工作。
39:1.4 (427.4) Bestowal Attendants. Paradise Avonals, but not Creator Sons, when on a bestowal mission are always accompanied by a corps of 144 bestowal attendants. These 144 angels are the chiefs of all other Son-Spirit ministers who may be associated with a bestowal mission. There might possibly be legions of angels subject to the command of an incarnated Son of God on a planetary bestowal, but all these seraphim would be organized and directed by the 144 bestowal attendants. Higher orders of angels, supernaphim and seconaphim, might also form a part of the attending host, and though their missions are distinct from those of the seraphim, all these activities would be co-ordinated by the bestowal attendants.
39:1.4 (427.4) 贈予侍從。天堂艾沃諾在執行贈予使命時，總有一支由144名贈予侍從組成的團隊伴隨，但造物聖子則非如此。這144名天使，是所有其他可能與贈予使命相聯的聖子-靈事奉者的首領。可能會有數個軍團的天使，受一位在行星贈予中的化身神之聖子指揮，但所有這些熾天使都將由這144名贈予侍從組織與指揮。更高類別的天使，如超級天使與二級天使，也可能成爲隨從之眾的一部分，儘管其使命與熾天使的使命截然不同，但所有這些活動都將由贈予侍從協調。
39:1.5 (427.5) These bestowal attendants are completion seraphim; they have all traversed the circles of Seraphington and have attained the Seraphic Corps of Completion. And they have been further especially trained to meet the difficulties and to cope with the emergencies associated with the bestowals of the Sons of God for the advancement of the children of time. Such seraphim have all achieved Paradise and the personal embrace of the Second Source and Center, the Eternal Son.
39:1.5 (427.5) 這些贈予侍從都是完成熾天使（completion seraphim）；他們已遍歷了熾天使之都的諸環圈，並已達致熾天使完成團隊。而且，他們還受到進一步的特別訓練，以迎對種種困難並應付種種緊急情況，此等困難與緊急情況，皆是伴隨神之聖子為時間之子女的進展所施行的贈予而來的。這些熾天使都已獲得天堂，以及第二本源與中心——永恆之子——的親身擁抱。
39:1.6 (427.6) Seraphim equally crave assignment to the missions of the incarnated Sons and attachment as destiny guardians to the mortals of the realms; the latter is the surest seraphic passport to Paradise, while the bestowal attendants have achieved the highest local universe service of the completion seraphim of Paradise attainment.
39:1.6 (427.6) 熾天使對於被指派到化身聖子的使命，以及被配屬為各域凡人的天命守護者，同樣心懷渴望；後者是前往天堂的最可靠熾天使通行證，而贈予侍從們則已達成了了天堂達致之完成熾天使的最高地方宇宙服務。
39:1.7 (428.1) 2. Court Advisers. These are the seraphic advisers and helpers attached to all orders of adjudication, from the conciliators up to the highest tribunals of the realm. It is not the purpose of such tribunals to determine punitive sentences but rather to adjudicate honest differences of opinion and to decree the everlasting survival of ascending mortals. Herein lies the duty of the court advisers: to see that all charges against mortal creatures are stated in justice and adjudicated in mercy. In this work they are closely associated with the High Commissioners, Spirit-fused ascendant mortals serving in the local universe.
39:1.7 (428.1) 2. 法庭顧問。這些是附屬於所有裁決類別——從調解者往上到該領域的最高審判庭——的熾天使顧問與助手。此類審判庭的目的並非判定懲罰性的判決，而是裁決誠實的意見分歧，並裁定揚升凡人的永久續存。法庭顧問的職責便在於此：確保所有針對凡人受造物的指控，皆在正義中陳述，並在仁慈中裁決。在這項工作中，他們與高級專員——服務於地方宇宙的與上靈融合之揚升凡人——密切相聯，。
39:1.8 (428.2) The seraphic court advisers serve extensively as defenders of mortals. Not that there ever exists any disposition to be unfair to the lowly creatures of the realms, but while justice demands the adjudication of every default in the climb towards divine perfection, mercy requires that every such misstep be fairly adjudged in accordance with the creature nature and the divine purpose. These angels are the exponents and exemplification of the element of mercy inherent in divine justice—of fairness based on the knowledge of the underlying facts of personal motives and racial tendencies.
39:1.8 (428.2) 熾天使法庭顧問廣泛地擔任凡人的辯護者。這並不是說曾經存在有任何對這些領域之卑微受造物不公平的傾向，而是，儘管正義要求對朝向神性完美攀升中的每一次違約進行裁決，但憐憫則要求依照受造物本質與神性目的，來公平評斷每一個這樣的過失。這些天使是神性正義中所固有的憐憫要素——基於對個人動機與種族傾向之根本事實的了解而有的公平——的闡釋者與典範。
39:1.9 (428.3) This order of angels serves from the councils of the Planetary Princes to the highest tribunals of the local universe, while their associates of the Seraphic Corps of Completion function in the higher realms of Orvonton, even to the courts of the Ancients of Days on Uversa.
39:1.9 (428.3) 這個類別的天使，其服務範圍從行星君王的諮議會，一直到地方宇宙的最高審判庭，而他們熾天使完成團隊的夥伴，則在奧溫頓的更高領域中履行職責，甚至服務於尤沃薩上亙古常在者的法庭。
39:1.10 (428.4) 3. Universe Orientators. These are the true friends and postgraduate counselors of all those ascending creatures who are pausing for the last time on Salvington, in their universe of origin, as they stand on the brink of the spirit adventure stretching out before them in the vast superuniverse of Orvonton. And at such a time many an ascender has a feeling which mortals could understand only by comparison with the human emotion of nostalgia. Behind lie the realms of achievement, realms grown familiar by long service and morontia attainment; ahead lies the challenging mystery of a greater and vaster universe.
39:1.10 (428.4) 3. 宇宙定向者。這些是所有正於其起源宇宙薩爾文頓作最後一次停留之揚升受造物的真正朋友與深造輔導員，此時，那些揚升受造物，正處於在廣袤的奧溫頓超級宇宙中於他們面前展開的靈之冒險邊緣。在這樣的時刻，許多揚升者都懷有一種感受，凡人只有透過將其與人類的鄉愁情緒相比擬，才能理解。身後，橫陳著成就之領域——因長期服務與靈質性達致而漸趨熟稔的領域；前方，則是一個更為宏大、更為浩瀚之宇宙那充滿挑戰的奧秘。
39:1.11 (428.5) It is the task of the universe orientators to facilitate the passage of the ascending pilgrims from the attained to the unattained level of universe service, to help these pilgrims in making those kaleidoscopic adjustments in the comprehension of meanings and values inherent in the realization that a first-stage spirit being stands, not at the end and climax of the local universe morontia ascent, but rather at the very bottom of the long ladder of spiritual ascent to the Universal Father on Paradise.
39:1.11 (428.5) 宇宙定向者的任務，是促進揚升朝聖者從已達致的宇宙服務層級，過渡到尚未達致的層級，並幫助這些朝聖者，在理解那些固有於此一體認中的意義與價值時，做出那些如萬花筒般的調整，此一體認就是：第一階段的靈存有，並非站在地方宇宙靈質性揚升的終點與頂峰，而是處於通往天堂上萬有之父的靈性揚升長梯的最底端。
39:1.12 (428.6) Many of the Seraphington graduates, members of the Seraphic Corps of Completion who are associated with these seraphim, engage in extensive teaching in certain Salvington schools concerned with the preparation of the creatures of Nebadon for the relationships of the next universe age.
39:1.12 (428.6) 許多熾天使之都的畢業生——那些與這些熾天使相聯的熾天使完成團隊成員——在某些薩爾文頓學校中從事廣泛的教學工作，這些學校所關乎的，是使內巴頓的受造物為下一個宇宙時代的種種關係做好預備。
39:1.13 (428.7) 4. The Teaching Counselors. These angels are the invaluable assistants of the spiritual teaching corps of the local universe. Teaching counselors are secretaries to all orders of teachers, from the Melchizedeks and the Trinity Teacher Sons down to the morontia mortals who are assigned as helpers to those of their kind who are just behind them in the scale of ascendant life. You will first see these associate teaching seraphim on some one of the seven mansion worlds surrounding Jerusem.
39:1.13 (428.7) 4. 教學顧問。這些天使是地方宇宙靈性教學團隊的極其寶貴助理。教學顧問是所有教師類別的秘書，從默基瑟德與三位一體教師聖子，下至被指派作為助手的靈質凡人，去幫助那些在揚升生命階梯中緊隨其後的同類。你們會在環繞耶路瑟姆的七個宅廈世界中的某一個世界上，首次看見這些相聯的教學熾天使。
39:1.14 (428.8) These seraphim become associates of the division chiefs of the numerous educational and training institutions of the local universes, and they are attached in large numbers to the faculties of the seven training worlds of the local systems and of the seventy educational spheres of the constellations. These ministrations extend on down to the individual worlds. Even the true and consecrated teachers of time are assisted, and often attended, by these counselors of the supreme seraphim.
39:1.14 (428.8) 這些熾天使成為地方宇宙中眾多教育與訓練機構各部門主管的相聯者，並且他們大量被配屬到各地方系統的七個訓練世界，以及各星座的七十個教育天體的教職團中。這些事奉向下延伸至個別世界上。甚至時間中真正且全心奉獻的教師們，也會得到這些至上熾天使顧問的協助，並經常有其隨侍在側。
39:1.15 (429.1) The fourth creature bestowal of the Creator Son was in the likeness of a teaching counselor of the supreme seraphim of Nebadon.
39:1.15 (429.1) 造物聖子的第四次受造物贈予，是以內巴頓至上熾天使中的教學顧問之形進行的。
39:1.16 (429.2) 5. Directors of Assignment. A body of 144 supreme seraphim is elected from time to time by the angels serving on the evolutionary and on the architectural spheres of creature habitation. This is the highest angelic council on any sphere, and it co-ordinates the self-directed phases of seraphic service and assignment. These angels preside over all seraphic assemblies pertaining to the line of duty or the call to worship.
39:1.16 (429.2) 5. 派任之主管者。一個由144名至上熾天使所組成的團體，是不時由服務於受造物居住之演化天體及建築天體上的天使們所選出。這是任何一個天體上的最高天使諮議會，它協調熾天使服務與派任之自主階段。這些天使主持所有與職責範圍或敬拜召喚相關的熾天使集會。
39:1.17 (429.3) 6. The Recorders. These are the official recorders for the supreme seraphim. Many of these high angels were born with their gifts fully developed; others have qualified for their positions of trust and responsibility by diligent application to study and faithful performance of similar duties while attached to lower or less responsible orders.
39:1.17 (429.3) 6. 記錄者。這些是至上熾天使的正式記錄者。這些高階天使中，有許多在出生時其天賦便已完全發展；其他的則在附屬於較低類別或責任較輕類別期間，透過勤奮向學及忠實履行類似職責，而取得這些受信任且負有責任之職位的資格。
39:1.18 (429.4) 7. Unattached Ministers. Large numbers of unattached seraphim of the supreme order are self-directed servers on the architectural spheres and on the inhabited planets. Such ministers voluntarily meet the differential of demand for the service of the supreme seraphim, thus constituting the general reserve of this order.
39:1.18 (429.4) 7. 非附屬事奉者。大量至上類別的非附屬熾天使，是建築性天體以及有居住者行星上的自主服務者。這類事奉者自願補足至上熾天使服務需求的差量，因而構成了此一類別的一般後備隊。
39:2.1 (429.5) Superior seraphim receive their name, not because they are in any sense qualitatively superior to other orders of angels, but because they are in charge of the higher activities of a local universe. Very many of the first two groups of this seraphic corps are attainment seraphim, angels who have served in all phases of training and have returned to a glorified assignment as directors of their kind in the spheres of their earlier activities. Being a young universe, Nebadon does not have many of this order.
39:2.1 (429.5) 高等熾天使得此名稱，不是因為他們在任何意義上於品質上優於其他天使類別，而是因為他們掌管著一個地方宇宙中較高的活動。這一熾天使團隊中的前兩個群體，極多數都是達致熾天使——這些天使已服務於所有訓練階段，並已返回至一項榮耀化的委派，在他們先前活動的領域中作為其同類之主管者。由於內巴頓是一個年輕的宇宙，因此並沒有許多此類別的天使。
39:2.2 (429.6) The superior seraphim function in the following seven groups:
39:2.2 (429.6) 高等熾天使分為以下七個群體履行職能：
39:2.3 (429.7) 1. The Intelligence Corps. These seraphim belong to the personal staff of Gabriel, the Bright and Morning Star. They range the local universe gathering the information of the realms for his guidance in the councils of Nebadon. They are the intelligence corps of the mighty hosts over which Gabriel presides as vicegerent of the Master Son. These seraphim are not directly affiliated with either the systems or the constellations, and their information pours in direct to Salvington upon a continuous, direct, and independent circuit.
39:2.3 (429.7) 1. 情報團隊。這些熾天使屬於明亮晨星加百列的個人幕僚。他們巡行地方宇宙，搜集各領域的資訊，以供他在內巴頓諮議會中作為指引。他們是加百列作為主位聖子代理者所主持之強大眾軍中的情報團隊。這些熾天使並不直接隸屬於任何系統或星座，並且他們的資訊經由一條連續、直接且獨立的迴路，直接湧入薩爾文頓。
39:2.4 (429.8) The intelligence corps of the various local universes can and do intercommunicate but only within a given superuniverse. There is a differential of energy which effectively segregates the business and transactions of the various supergovernments. One superuniverse can ordinarily communicate with another superuniverse only through the provisions and facilities of the Paradise clearinghouse.
39:2.4 (429.8) 不同地方宇宙的情報團隊可以相互通訊，但僅限於在一個給定的超級宇宙之內。存在著一種有效地將不同超級宇宙的事務與互動隔離開來的能量差異。一個超級宇宙通常只能經由天堂情報交換中心的規定與設施，才能與另一個超級宇宙通訊。
39:2.5 (430.1) 2. The Voice of Mercy. Mercy is the keynote of seraphic service and angelic ministry. It is therefore fitting that there should be a corps of angels who, in a special manner, portray mercy. These seraphim are the real mercy ministers of the local universes. They are the inspired leaders who foster the higher impulses and holier emotions of men and angels. The directors of these legions are now always completion seraphim who are also graduate guardians of mortal destiny; that is, each angelic pair has guided at least one soul of animal origin during the life in the flesh and has subsequently traversed the circles of Seraphington and has been mustered into the Seraphic Corps of Completion.
39:2.5 (430.1) 2. 憐憫之聲。憐憫是熾天使服務與天使事奉的基調。因此，理應有一支天使團隊以一種特殊方式展現憐憫。這些熾天使是地方宇宙真正的憐憫事奉者。他們是受啟發的領導者，培養人與天使更崇高的推動力與更神聖的情感。這些軍團的主管者，現在總是由同時也是已畢業凡人天命守護者的那些完成熾天使擔任；也就是說，每一對天使都曾在肉身生命期間，引導過至少一個動物起源的靈魂，並隨後遍歷熾天使之都的諸環圈，且已編入了熾天使完成團隊。
39:2.6 (430.2) 3. Spirit Co-ordinators. The third group of superior seraphim are based on Salvington but function in the local universe anywhere they can be of fruitful service. While their tasks are essentially spiritual and therefore beyond the real understanding of human minds, you will perhaps grasp something of their ministry to mortals if it is explained that these angels are intrusted with the task of preparing the ascendant sojourners on Salvington for their last transition in the local universe—from the highest morontia level to the status of newborn spirit beings. As the mind planners on the mansion worlds help the surviving creature to adjust to, and make effective use of, the potentials of morontia mind, so do these seraphim instruct the morontia graduates on Salvington regarding the newly attained capacities of the mind of the spirit. And they serve the ascendant mortals in many other ways.
39:2.6 (430.2) 3.靈協調者。高等熾天使的第三個群體以薩爾文頓為據點，但在地方宇宙中任何他們能提供富有成效之服務的地方履行職能。儘管他們的任務在本質上是靈性的，因此超出了人類心智所能真正理解的範疇，然而，若說明這些天使受託的任務，是為薩爾文頓上的揚升旅居者在其地方宇宙中的最後一次過渡──從最高的靈質層級到新生的靈存有之地位——做好準備，你們或許能領會一些他們對凡人的事奉。正如宅廈世界上的心智規劃者，幫助續存受造物適應並有效運用靈質心智之潛能，這些熾天使同樣也指導薩爾文頓上的靈質畢業生關於新近獲得的靈之心智的能力。並且他們還以許多其它方式為揚升凡人服務。
39:2.7 (430.3) 4. Assistant Teachers. The assistant teachers are the helpers and associates of their fellow seraphim, the teaching counselors. They are also individually connected with the extensive educational enterprises of the local universe, especially with the sevenfold scheme of training operative on the mansion worlds of the local systems. A marvelous corps of this order of seraphim functions on Urantia for the purpose of fostering and furthering the cause of truth and righteousness.
39:2.7 (430.3) 4. 助理教師。助理教師是其同屬熾天使——教學顧問——的助手與相聯者。他們也個別地與地方宇宙的廣泛教育事業相連結，尤其與地方系統宅廈世界上運行的七重訓練體系有關。這類熾天使中有一支非凡的團隊在玉苒廈上履行職能，旨在培育與推進真理與及公義之事業。
39:2.8 (430.4) 5. The Transporters. All groups of ministering spirits have their transport corps, angelic orders dedicated to the ministry of transporting those personalities who are unable, of themselves, to journey from one sphere to another. The fifth group of the superior seraphim are headquartered on Salvington and serve as space traversers to and from the headquarters of the local universe. Like other subdivisions of the superior seraphim, some were created as such while others have risen from the lower or less endowed groups.
39:2.8 (430.4) 5. 運輸者。所有事奉靈的群體，都擁有其運輸團隊——專門運送那些自己無法從一個天體旅行到另一天體之人格體的天使類別。高等熾天使的第五個群體以薩爾文頓為總部，並擔任往來地方宇宙總部的空間穿越者。如同高等熾天使的其它分支，有些是受造時即為此群體，而其他則是從較低的或是稟賦較少的群體中晉升而來。
39:2.9 (430.5) The “energy range” of seraphim is wholly adequate for local universe and even for superuniverse requirements, but they could never withstand the energy demands entailed by such a long journey as that from Uversa to Havona. Such an exhaustive journey requires the special powers of a primary seconaphim of transport endowments. Transporters take on energy for flight while in transit and recuperate personal power at the end of the journey.
39:2.9 (430.5) 熾天使的「能量範圍」完全可以滿足地方宇宙甚至超級宇宙的需求，但他們絕對無法承受像從尤沃薩到哈沃納那樣漫長旅程所帶來的能量要求。這樣一種耗竭性的旅程，需要具有運輸稟賦的首階二級天使之特殊能力。運輸者在移行中裝載飛行所需能量，並在旅程結束時恢復個人力量。
39:2.10 (430.6) Even on Salvington ascending mortals do not possess personal transit forms. Ascenders must depend upon seraphic transport in advancing from world to world until after the last rest of sleep on the inner circle of Havona and the eternal awakening on Paradise. Subsequently you will not be dependent on angels for transport from universe to universe.
39:2.10 (430.6) 即使在薩爾文頓，揚升凡人也並不具備個人的移行形態。揚升者們必須依靠熾天的運輸，從一個世界前進到另一個世界，直到在哈沃納內圈上最後的睡眠之安息，並在天堂上永恆的甦醒之後。此後，你們從一個宇宙到另一個宇宙的運輸將不再依靠天使。
39:2.11 (430.7) The process of being enseraphimed is not unlike the experience of death or sleep except that there is an automatic time element in the transit slumber. You are consciously unconscious during seraphic rest. But the Thought Adjuster is wholly and fully conscious, in fact, exceptionally efficient since you are unable to oppose, resist, or otherwise hinder creative and transforming work.
39:2.11 (430.7) 被熾天使所裹覆的過程與死亡或睡眠的經歷沒有什麼不同，除了在移行歇眠中存在一種自動的時間要素。你們於熾天使的安息期間，是有意識地無意識。然而思想調整者則是完全且充分有意識的，事實上，由於你們無法反對、抵抗或以其它方式阻礙創造性與轉化性的工作，想調整者異常地高效率。
39:2.12 (431.1) When enseraphimed, you go to sleep for a specified time, and you will awake at the designated moment. The length of a journey when in transit sleep is immaterial. You are not directly aware of the passing of time. It is as if you went to sleep on a transport vehicle in one city and, after resting in peaceful slumber all night, awakened in another and distant metropolis. You journeyed while you slumbered. And so you take flight through space, enseraphimed, while you rest—sleep. The transit sleep is induced by the liaison between the Adjusters and the seraphic transporters.
39:2.12 (431.1) 被熾天使裹覆時，你進入一段特定時間的睡眠，並將會在指定時刻醒來。當處於移行睡眠中，旅程長短是無關緊要的。你不會直接意識到時間的流逝。這就如同你在一座城市的運輸工具上入睡，在平靜歇眠整晚的休息之後，於另一座遙遠的大都市醒來。你在歇眠中旅行。同樣地，你被熾天使裹覆著，在安息——睡眠——時飛越空間。移行睡眠是由調整者與熾天使運輸者之間的聯繫所引發的。
39:2.13 (431.2) The angels cannot transport combustion bodies—flesh and blood—such as you now have, but they can transport all others, from the lowest morontia to the higher spirit forms. They do not function in the event of natural death. When you finish your earthly career, your body remains on this planet. Your Thought Adjuster proceeds to the bosom of the Father, and these angels are not directly concerned in your subsequent personality reassembly on the identification mansion world. There your new body is a morontia form, one that can enseraphim. You “sow a mortal body” in the grave; you “reap a morontia form” on the mansion worlds.
39:2.13 (431.2) 天使們無法運送像你現在所擁有的燃燒體——血肉之軀，但他們可以運送所有其它形態，從最低階的靈質到較高階的靈形態。他們不在自然死亡事件中履行職能。當你結束了你的塵世生涯時，你的身體留在這一星球。你的思想調整者前往上父的懷中，而這些天使並不直接參與你隨後在身份確認宅廈世界上的人格重組。在那裡，你的新身體是一種靈質形態，一種可以被熾天使裹覆的形態。你在墳墓裡「種下一個凡人身體」； 你在宅廈世界上「收穫一個靈質形態」。
39:2.14 (431.3) 6. The Recorders. These personalities are especially concerned with the reception, filing, and redispatch of the records of Salvington and its associated worlds. They also serve as special recorders for resident groups of superuniverse and higher personalities and as clerks of the courts of Salvington and secretaries to the rulers thereof.
39:2.14 (431.3) 6. 記錄者。這些人格體特別負責薩爾文頓及其相聯世界之記錄的接收、歸檔與重新發送。他們也擔任由超級宇宙人格體與較高等人格體所組成的常駐群體的特殊記錄者，並擔任薩爾文頓法庭的書記員，以及其統治者們的秘書。
39:2.15 (431.4) Broadcasters—receivers and dispatchers—are a specialized subdivision of the seraphic recorders, being concerned with the dispatch of records and with the dissemination of essential information. Their work is of a high order, being so multicircuited that 144,000 messages can simultaneously traverse the same lines of energy. They adapt the higher ideographic techniques of the superaphic chief recorders and with these common symbols maintain reciprocal contact with both the intelligence co-ordinators of the tertiary supernaphim and the glorified intelligence co-ordinators of the Seraphic Corps of Completion.
39:2.15 (431.4) 廣播者──接收者與發送者──是熾天使記錄者中的一個專門化分支，負責記錄的發送與重要資訊的傳播。他們屬於高階層級，其如此多重迴路化（multicircuited），使得144,000條訊息可以同時穿行於相同的能量線。他們調整並套用超級熾天使首席記錄者的較高階表意技術，並藉由這些共通符號，與三階超級熾天使的情報協調者，以及熾天使完全團隊的榮耀化情報協調者保持雙向接觸。
39:2.16 (431.5) Seraphic recorders of the superior order thus effect a close liaison with the intelligence corps of their own order and with all subordinate recorders, while the broadcasts enable them to maintain constant communication with the higher recorders of the superuniverse and, through this channel, with the recorders of Havona and the custodians of knowledge on Paradise. Many of the superior order of recorders are seraphim ascended from similar duties in lower sections of the universe.
39:2.16 (431.5) 高等類別的熾天使記錄者由此與其自身類別的情報團隊，以及所有下屬記錄者保持密切聯絡，而廣播使他們能夠與超級宇宙的高級記錄者保持持續通訊，並透過這個管道，與哈沃納的記錄者以及天堂的知識保管者保持通訊。許多高等類別的記錄者，都是從該宇宙較低區域中類似職責揚升而來的熾天使。
39:2.17 (431.6) 7. The Reserves. Large reserves of all types of the superior seraphim are held on Salvington, instantly available for dispatch to the farthermost worlds of Nebadon as they are requisitioned by the directors of assignment or upon the request of the universe administrators. The reserves of superior seraphim also furnish messenger aids upon requisition by the chief of the Brilliant Evening Stars, who is intrusted with the custody and dispatch of all personal communications. A local universe is fully provided with adequate means of intercommunication, but there is always a residue of messages which requires dispatch by personal messengers.
39:2.17 (431.6) 7. 後備隊。所有類型高等熾天使的龐大後備隊，駐留於薩爾文頓上，當他們受到派任主管者的徵調，或是在依據宇宙行政者的請求，便可立即派遣至內巴頓最遙遠的各世界。高等熾天使的後備隊，也會在閃耀暮星之首長的徵調下供應信使輔佐者，該首長負責保管並派送所有的人格通訊。一個地方宇宙已經充分配備了足夠的相互通信工具，但總有餘留的信息需要由人格信使派送。
39:2.18 (432.1) The basic reserves for the entire local universe are held on the seraphic worlds of Salvington. This corps includes all types of all groups of angels.
39:2.18 (432.1) 整個地方宇宙的基本後備隊皆駐留於薩爾文頓的熾天使世界。此一團隊包括所有天使群體中的所有類型。
39:3.1 (432.2) This versatile order of universe angels is assigned to the exclusive service of the constellations. These able ministers make their headquarters on the constellation capitals but function throughout all Nebadon in the interests of their assigned realms.
39:3.1 (432.2) 這一多才多藝的宇宙天使類別，被委派專門服務於各星座。這些能幹的事奉者將其總部設在星座首府，但為了其受指派領域的利益，他們在整個內巴頓履使職能。
39:3.2 (432.3) 1. Supervising Assistants. The first order of the supervising seraphim are assigned to the collective work of the Constellation Fathers, and they are the ever-efficient helpers of the Most Highs. These seraphim are primarily concerned with the unification and stabilization of a whole constellation.
39:3.2 (432.3) 1. 監督助理。監督熾天使的第一個類別，受委派至星座之父的集體工作，他們是至高者永遠高效的助手。這些熾天使主要關注於整個星座的統一與穩定。
39:3.3 (432.4) 2. Law Forecasters. The intellectual foundation of justice is law, and in a local universe law originates in the legislative assemblies of the constellations. These deliberative bodies codify and formally promulgate the basic laws of Nebadon, laws designed to afford the greatest possible co-ordination of a whole constellation consistent with the fixed policy of noninfringement of the moral free will of personal creatures. It is the duty of the second order of supervisor seraphim to place before the constellation lawmakers a forecast of how any proposed enactment would affect the lives of freewill creatures. This service they are well qualified to perform by virtue of long experience in the local systems and on the inhabited worlds. These seraphim seek no special favors for one group or another, but they do appear before the celestial lawmakers to speak for those who cannot be present to speak for themselves. Even mortal man may contribute to the evolution of universe law, for these very seraphim do faithfully and fully portray, not necessarily man’s transient and conscious desires, but rather the true longings of the inner man, the evolving morontia soul of the material mortal on the worlds of space.
39:3.3 (432.4) 2. 法律預測者。正義的智性基礎是法律，而在地方宇宙中，法律起源於星座的立法議會。這些審議機構編纂並正式公布內巴頓的基本法律，這些法律旨在，符合不侵犯人格受造物之道德自由意志的既定政策下，為整個星座提供最大可能的協調。第二類別監督者熾天使的職責，是將任何提議的法規將如何影響自由意志受造物生活的預測，置於星座立法者面前。憑藉在地方系統中以及有居住者世界上的長期經驗，他們相當有資格執行這項服務。這些熾天使不為任何一個群體尋求特殊恩惠，但他們的確會出現在天界立法者們面前，為那些不能到場為自己發聲的存有發言。即使是凡人也可能為宇宙法律的演進做出貢獻，因為正是這些熾天使忠實且充分地描繪了那未必是人的短暫且有意識的欲望，而是內在人——空間世界上物質性凡人的進化中靈質靈魂——的真正渴望。
39:3.4 (432.5) 3. Social Architects. From the individual planets up through the morontia training worlds, these seraphim labor to enhance all sincere social contacts and to further the social evolution of universe creatures. These are the angels who seek to divest the associations of intelligent beings of all artificiality while endeavoring to facilitate the interassociation of will creatures on a basis of real self-understanding and genuine mutual appreciation.
39:3.4 (432.5) 3. 社會建築者。從個別行星上至靈質培訓世界，這些熾天使努力增進一切真誠的社會接觸，並推進宇宙受造物的社會演進。這些正是試圖使智能存有之間的交往擺脫一切虛偽造作的天使，同時力圖促成意志受造物在真實的自我理解與真誠的相互欣賞之基礎上彼此相聯。
39:3.5 (432.6) Social architects do everything within their province and power to bring together suitable individuals that they may constitute efficient and agreeable working groups on earth; and sometimes such groups have found themselves reassociated on the mansion worlds for continued fruitful service. But not always do these seraphim attain their ends; not always are they able to bring together those who would form the most ideal group to achieve a given purpose or to accomplish a certain task; under these conditions they must utilize the best of the material available.
39:3.5 (432.6) 社會建築者在其職權與能力範圍內，竭盡所能將合適的個體聚在一起，以使他們可以在塵世上組成高效且相合的工作團隊；有時，這些團隊發現自己在宅廈世界上再次相聯，以便繼續進行富有成果的服務。但這些熾天使並非總能達致他們的目標；他們並非總能夠把那些能組成最理想群體的人聚集起來，以達成一個給定目的或完成某項任務；在這些情況下，他們必須運用現有素材中的最佳者。
39:3.6 (432.7) These angels continue their ministry on the mansion and higher morontia worlds. They are concerned with any undertaking having to do with progress on the morontia worlds and which concerns three or more persons. Two beings are regarded as operating on the mating, complemental, or partnership basis, but when three or more are grouped for service, they constitute a social problem and therefore fall within the jurisdiction of the social architects. These efficient seraphim are organized in seventy divisions on Edentia, and these divisions minister on the seventy morontia progress worlds encircling the headquarters sphere.
39:3.6 (432.7) 這些天使們在宅廈世界及更高的靈質世界上繼續其事奉。他們關注於一切與靈質世界上的進展相關、且涉及三個或更多人的事務。兩個存有，被視為在相配對、互補或是夥伴關係的基礎上運作，但當三個或更多存有為了服務而聚集時，他們會構成社會問題，因此落入社會建築者的管轄範圍內。這些高效的熾天使在伊甸廈被組織成七十個分部，而這些分部則在環繞該總部天體的七十個靈質進展世界上事奉。
39:3.7 (433.1) 4. Ethical Sensitizers. It is the mission of these seraphim to foster and to promote the growth of creature appreciation of the morality of interpersonal relationships, for such is the seed and secret of the continued and purposeful growth of society and government, human or superhuman. These enhancers of ethical appreciation function anywhere and everywhere they may be of service, as volunteer counselors to the planetary rulers and as exchange teachers on the system training worlds. You will not, however, come under their full guidance until you reach the brotherhood schools on Edentia, where they will quicken your appreciation of those very truths of fraternity which you will even then be so earnestly exploring by the actual experience of living with the univitatia in the social laboratories of Edentia, the seventy satellites of the Norlatiadek capital.
39:3.7 (433.1) 4. 倫理敏化者。這些熾天使的使命，是培養並促進受造物對人際關係道德之賞識能力的成長，因為這種賞識，是人類或超人類社會與政府持續且有目的成長的種子與秘密。這些對倫理賞識之提升者，在任何他們能提供服務的地方履行職能，他們作為行星統治者的志願參議者，也作為系統訓練世界上的交換老師。然而，只有當你抵達伊甸廈上的兄弟情誼學校，你才會受到他們的的全面指導，在那裡，他們會加速你對於那些有關友愛之真理本身的賞識，而即使到了那時，你們仍將藉著在伊甸廈的社會實驗室——諾拉歇德首府的七十顆衛星——與尤尼維塔莎共同生活的實際經驗，如此熱切地探索那些真理。
39:3.8 (433.2) 5. The Transporters. The fifth group of supervisor seraphim operate as personality transporters, carrying beings to and from the headquarters of the constellations. Such transport seraphim, while in flight from one sphere to another, are fully conscious of their velocity, direction, and astronomic whereabouts. They are not traversing space as would an inanimate projectile. They may pass near one another during space flight without the least danger of collision. They are fully able to vary speed of progression and to alter direction of flight, even to change destinations if their directors should so instruct them at any space junction of the universe intelligence circuits.
39:3.8 (433.2) 5. 運輸者。監督者熾天使的第五個群體作為人格運輸者而運作，運送存有們往返於各個星座總部。這類運輸熾天使在從一個天體飛往另一個天體時，完全意識到自己的速度、方向以及天文位置。他們不像無生命拋射體那樣地穿越空間。在空間飛行期間，他們可以彼此擦身而過，而沒有絲毫碰撞的危險。他們完全能改變行進的速度與飛行的方向，甚至，他們還能改變目的地，如果其主管者在宇宙情報迴路的任何空間交會點如此指示他們。
39:3.9 (433.3) These transit personalities are so organized that they can simultaneously utilize all three of the universally distributed lines of energy, each having a clear space velocity of 186,280 miles per second. These transporters are thus able to superimpose velocity of energy upon velocity of power until they attain an average speed on their long journeys varying anywhere from 555,000 to almost 559,000 of your miles per second of your time. The velocity is affected by the mass and proximity of neighboring matter and by the strength and direction of the near-by main circuits of universe power. There are numerous types of beings, similar to the seraphim, who are able to traverse space, and who also are able to transport other beings who have been properly prepared.
39:3.9 (433.3) 這些移行人格體的組織方式，使他們可以同時利用所有三條普遍分布的能量線路，每一條線路都具有每秒299,790公里的淨空間速度。這些運輸者由此能夠將能量的速度疊加到力能的速度上，直到他們在其漫長旅程中達至一個平均速度，以你們時間的秒與你們的公里為單位，其變動範圍可從每秒893,320公里，到幾近每秒899,620公里。速度會受到鄰近物質之質量與接近程度，以及附近主要宇宙力能迴路之強度與方向的影響。還存在有許多類似熾天使的存有類型，能穿越空間，也能運送其他已受到適當準備的存有。
39:3.10 (433.4) 6. The Recorders. The sixth order of supervising seraphim act as the special recorders of constellation affairs. A large and efficient corps functions on Edentia, the headquarters of the constellation of Norlatiadek, to which your system and planet belong.
39:3.10 (433.4) 6. 記錄者。監督熾天使的第六個類別，以星座事務的特別記錄者身份行事。一個龐大且高效的團隊在伊甸廈——你們的系統與行星所屬的諾拉歇德星座之總部——上履行職能。
39:3.11 (433.5) 7. The Reserves. General reserves of the supervisor seraphim are held on the headquarters of the constellations. Such angelic reservists are in no sense inactive; many serve as messenger aids to the constellation rulers; others are attached to the Salvington reserves of unassigned Vorondadeks; still others may be attached to Vorondadek Sons on special assignment, such as the Vorondadek observer, and sometimes Most High regent, of Urantia.
39:3.11 (433.5) 7. 後備隊。監督類熾天使的總後備隊設在各星座的總部。這類天使後備隊員絕非處於閒置狀態；許多擔任星座統治者們的信使輔佐者；另一些則被配屬於由尚未受委派的沃朗達德所組成的薩爾文頓後備隊；還有另一些可能會被配屬於執行特別委派的沃朗達德聖子，例如玉苒廈的沃朗達德觀察者——有時亦是至高者攝政王。
39:4.1 (434.1) The fourth order of seraphim are assigned to the administrative duties of the local systems. They are indigenous to the system capitals but are stationed in large numbers on the mansion and morontia spheres and on the inhabited worlds. Fourth-order seraphim are by nature endowed with unusual administrative ability. They are the able assistants of the directors of the lower divisions of the universe government of a Creator Son and are mainly occupied with the affairs of the local systems and their component worlds. They are organized for service as follows:
39:4.1 (434.1) 熾天使的第四類別被委以地方系統之行政職責。他們原生於系統首府，但大量被駐派於宅廈與靈質天體，以及有居住者的世界上。第四類別的熾天使先天即被賦予非凡的行政能力。他們是造物聖子所屬宇宙管理機構中較低部門主管的得力助理，主要從事地方系統及其組成世界的事務。他們為服務而編組如下：
39:4.2 (434.2) 1. Administrative Assistants. These able seraphim are the immediate assistants of a System Sovereign, a primary Lanonandek Son. They are invaluable aids in the execution of the intricate details of the executive work of the system headquarters. They also serve as the personal agents of the system rulers, journeying back and forth in large numbers to the various transition worlds and to the inhabited planets, executing many commissions for the welfare of the system and in the physical and biologic interests of its inhabited worlds.
39:4.2 (434.2) 1. 行政助理。這些能幹的熾天使是系統主權者——一位第一級拉那南德聖子——的直接助理。在執行系統總部行政工作的繁複細節方面，他們是極其寶貴的輔佐者。他們也擔任系統統治者的個人代理者，大批來回旅行至各個過渡世界及有居住者行星，為系統的福祉以及其有居住者世界的物理與生物利益，執行許多委任。
39:4.3 (434.3) These same seraphic administrators are also attached to the governments of the world rulers, the Planetary Princes. The majority of planets in a given universe are under the jurisdiction of a secondary Lanonandek Son, but on certain worlds, such as Urantia, there has been a miscarriage of the divine plan. In the event of the defection of a Planetary Prince, these seraphim become attached to the Melchizedek receivers and their successors in planetary authority. The present acting ruler of Urantia is assisted by a corps of one thousand of this versatile order of seraphim.
39:4.3 (434.3) 這些相同的熾天使行政者也會被配屬到世界的統治者——行星君王——的管理機構。一個給定地方宇宙中的大多數行星，都處於一位第二級拉那南德聖子的管轄之下，但在某些世界，例如玉苒廈，神性計畫曾發生偏差。如果一位行星君王叛離，這些熾天使就會轉而配屬於默基瑟德接收者及其在行星權柄上的繼任者。玉苒廈目前的代理統治者是由一千名這種多才多藝類別的熾天使所組成的團隊協助。
39:4.4 (434.4) 2. Justice Guides. These are the angels who present the summary of evidence concerning the eternal welfare of men and angels when such matters come up for adjudication in the tribunals of a system or a planet. They prepare the statements for all preliminary hearings involving mortal survival, statements which are subsequently carried with the records of such cases to the higher tribunals of the universe and the superuniverse. The defense of all cases of doubtful survival is prepared by these seraphim, who have a perfect understanding of all the details of every feature of every count in the indictments drawn by the administrators of universe justice.
39:4.4 (434.4) 2. 正義引導者。當這類關乎人與天使之永恆福祉的事項，被提交到系統或行星的審判庭進行裁決時，這些天使提供與之相關證據的摘要。他們為所有涉及凡人續存的初步聽證準備陳述，這些陳述隨後會隨著這些案件的記錄，一併送往宇宙及超級宇宙的更高審判庭。所有存疑續存案件的辯護，皆由這些熾天使準備，他們對宇宙正義之行政官所擬起訴書中的每一指控之每一要點的所有細節，都有著完美的理解。
39:4.5 (434.5) It is not the mission of these angels to defeat or to delay justice but rather to insure that unerring justice is dealt out with generous mercy in fairness to all creatures. These seraphim often function on the local worlds, commonly appearing before the referee trios of the conciliating commissions—the courts for minor misunderstandings. Many who at one time served as justice guides in the lower realms later appear as Voices of Mercy in the higher spheres and on Salvington.
39:4.5 (434.5) 這些天使的使命並非挫敗或延遲正義，而是確保無誤的正義伴隨著寬厚的憐憫，公平地施予所有受造物。這些熾天使經常會在地方世界履行職能，通常出現在調解委員會的裁斷三人組——處理輕微誤解的法庭——之前。許多曾經在較低領域擔任正義引導者的天使，之後會作為仁慈之聲在較高領域以及薩爾文頓上出現。
39:4.6 (434.6) In the Lucifer rebellion in Satania very few of the justice guides were lost, but more than one quarter of the other administrator seraphim and of the lower orders of seraphic ministers were misled and deluded by the sophistries of unbridled personal liberty.
39:4.6 (434.6) 在撒旦尼亞的路西法反叛中，極少數的正義引導者迷失，但其他行政者熾天使以及較低類別的熾天使事奉者中，有超過四分之一受到那種不受約束的人格自由之詭辯所誤導與蒙蔽。
39:4.7 (434.7) 3. Interpreters of Cosmic Citizenship. When ascending mortals have completed the mansion world training, the first student apprenticeship in the universe career, they are permitted to enjoy the transient satisfactions of relative maturity—citizenship on the system capital. While the attainment of each ascendant goal is a factual achievement, in the larger sense such goals are simply milestones on the long ascending path to Paradise. But however relative such successes may be, no evolutionary creature is ever denied the full though transient satisfaction of goal attainment. Ever and anon there is a pause in the Paradise ascent, a short breathing spell, during which universe horizons stand still, creature status is stationary, and the personality tastes the sweetness of goal fulfillment.
39:4.7 (434.7) 3. 宇宙體系公民身份之詮釋者。當揚升凡人已完成宅廈世界的訓練——宇宙生涯中的第一個學生見習期——之後，他們便獲准享受相對成熟──系統首府上的公民身份——所帶來的短暫滿足。儘管每一項揚升目標的達致都是一種真實成就，但從更廣大的意義而言，這些目標只不過是通往天堂漫長揚升道路上的里程碑。然而，無論這些成功是多麼相對，任何進化性受造物都不會被拒予目標達致時那雖屬短暫卻充分的滿足。在天堂揚升中，時而會有一次停歇，一個短暫的喘息喘息期，在這期間，宇宙視野靜止，受造物地位不變，而人格品嚐著目標實現的甜美。
39:4.8 (435.1) The first of such periods in the career of a mortal ascender occurs on the capital of a local system. During this pause you will, as a citizen of Jerusem, attempt to express in creature life those things which you have acquired during the eight preceding life experiences—embracing Urantia and the seven mansion worlds.
39:4.8 (435.1) 在凡人揚升者的生涯中，第一個這樣的時期發生在在地方系統的首府。在這次停歇，你作為耶路瑟姆的公民，將試圖在受造物生命中表達你在的八次先前生命經歷──包含玉苒廈以及七個宅廈世界——中所獲得的那些事物。
39:4.9 (435.2) The seraphic interpreters of cosmic citizenship guide the new citizens of the system capitals and quicken their appreciation of the responsibilities of universe government. These seraphim are also closely associated with the Material Sons in the system administration, while they portray the responsibility and morality of cosmic citizenship to the material mortals on the inhabited worlds.
39:4.9 (435.2) 熾天使宇宙體系公民身份之詮釋者，引導系統首府的新公民，並賦活他們對於宇宙管理機構責任的賞識。這些天使也在系統行政中與物質之子密切相聯，同時他們向有居住者世界上的物質性凡人描繪宇宙體系公民身份的責任與道德。
39:4.10 (435.3) 4. Quickeners of Morality. On the mansion worlds you begin to learn self-government for the benefit of all concerned. Your mind learns co-operation, learns how to plan with other and wiser beings. On the system headquarters the seraphic teachers will further quicken your appreciation of cosmic morality—of the interactions of liberty and loyalty.
39:4.10 (435.3) 4. 道德之賦活者。在宅廈世界上，你們開始學習為所有相關者的福祉而自我治理。你的心智學習合作，學習如何與其他更具智慧的存有一起規劃。在系統總部，熾天使教師將進一步賦活你對宇宙體系道德──自由與忠誠之間相互作用——的賞識。
39:4.11 (435.4) What is loyalty? It is the fruit of an intelligent appreciation of universe brotherhood; one could not take so much and give nothing. As you ascend the personality scale, first you learn to be loyal, then to love, then to be filial, and then may you be free; but not until you are a finaliter, not until you have attained perfection of loyalty, can you self-realize finality of liberty.
39:4.11 (435.4) 什麼是忠誠？它是對宇宙兄弟情誼之明智賞識所結出的果實；一個人不能拿了這麽多卻毫無付出。當你沿著人格階梯揚升時，首先你學會忠誠，接著學會愛，繼而學會孝，而後你方可自由；但直到你成為一名終局者，直到你已達致忠誠之完美，你才能自我實現自由之終局性。
39:4.12 (435.5) These seraphim teach the fruitfulness of patience: That stagnation is certain death, but that overrapid growth is equally suicidal; that as a drop of water from a higher level falls to a lower and, flowing onward, passes ever downward through a succession of short falls, so ever upward is progress in the morontia and spirit worlds—and just as slowly and by just such gradual stages.
39:4.12 (435.5) 這些熾天使教導耐心之豐碩成果：停滯無疑是死亡，但過度快速的成長同樣是自取滅亡；如同一滴水從較高處落向較低處，繼續向前流動，穿過一連串短小的落差，不斷向下，在靈質世界與靈世界中的進展也是如此不斷往上——同樣緩慢，並經由同樣這般漸進的階段。
39:4.13 (435.6) To the inhabited worlds the quickeners of morality portray mortal life as an unbroken chain of many links. Your short sojourn on Urantia, on this sphere of mortal infancy, is only a single link, the very first in the long chain that is to stretch across universes and through the eternal ages. It is not so much what you learn in this first life; it is the experience of living this life that is important. Even the work of this world, paramount though it is, is not nearly so important as the way in which you do this work. There is no material reward for righteous living, but there is profound satisfaction—consciousness of achievement—and this transcends any conceivable material reward.
39:4.13 (435.6) 對於有居住者的世界，道德之賦活者將凡人生活描繪為一條由許多環節組成的未斷裂鎖鏈。你們在玉苒廈上的短暫旅居——這個凡人嬰兒期的天體——僅是一個單一的環節，是那條將延伸跨越眾宇宙並穿越永恆諸時代之漫長鎖鏈的第一個環節。重要的不在於你在這最初一生中學到了什麼；活出這一生的經驗本身才是重要的。即使這個世界的工作，儘管它至關重要，也遠不及你從事這份工作的方式來得重要。公義的生活並沒有物質性的獎賞，但卻有著深刻的滿足──成就之意識──而這超越任何可以想像的物質性獎賞。
39:4.14 (435.7) The keys of the kingdom of heaven are: sincerity, more sincerity, and more sincerity. All men have these keys. Men use them—advance in spirit status—by decisions, by more decisions, and by more decisions. The highest moral choice is the choice of the highest possible value, and always—in any sphere, in all of them—this is to choose to do the will of God. If man thus chooses, he is great, though he be the humblest citizen of Jerusem or even the least of mortals on Urantia.
39:4.14 (435.7) 進入天國的鑰匙是：真誠、更加真誠，並且更加真誠。所有人都擁有這些鑰匙。人使用它們──在靈之地位上提升——乃是藉由決定、更多決定以及更多的決定。最高的道德選擇，是對最高可能價值之選擇，而永遠——在任何領域，乃至所有領域──這就是選擇遵行神的旨意。如果人如此選擇，他就是偉大的，即便他是耶路瑟姆最卑微的公民，或甚至是玉苒廈上最渺小的凡人。
39:4.15 (436.1) 5. The Transporters. These are the transport seraphim who function in the local systems. In Satania, your system, they carry passengers back and forth from Jerusem and otherwise serve as interplanetary transporters. Seldom does a day pass in which a transport seraphim of Satania does not deposit some student visitor or some other traveler of spirit or semispirit nature on the shores of Urantia. These very space traversers will sometime carry you to and from the various worlds of the system headquarters group, and when you have finished the Jerusem assignment, they will carry you forward to Edentia. But under no circumstances will they carry you backward to the world of human origin. A mortal never returns to his native planet during the dispensation of his temporal existence, and if he should return during a subsequent dispensation, he would be escorted by a transport seraphim of the universe headquarters group.
39:4.15 (436.1) 5. 運輸者。這些是在地方系統中履行職能的運輸熾天使。在你們的系統撒旦尼亞中，他們自耶路瑟姆往載運乘客，或是擔任行星間的運輸者。很少有一天過去，而撒旦尼亞的運輸熾天使沒有將某位學生訪客，或某個具有靈或半靈本質的其他旅行者，安置於玉苒廈的岸域上。正是這些空間穿越者，有朝一日將載運你往返於系統總部群的各個世界，當你完成耶路瑟姆的委派時，他們將載運你至伊甸廈。但在任何情況下，他們都不會載運你返回人類起源的世界。凡人在其時間性存在的天命時期中，絕不會返回其原生行星，而若他於隨後的某個天命時期返回，則將由宇宙總部群的一名運輸熾天使護送。
39:4.16 (436.2) 6. The Recorders. These seraphim are the keepers of the threefold records of the local systems. The temple of records on a system capital is a unique structure, one third material, constructed of luminous metals and crystals; one third morontial, fabricated of the liaison of spiritual and material energy but beyond the range of mortal vision; and one third spiritual. The recorders of this order preside over and maintain this threefold system of records. Ascending mortals will at first consult the material archives, Material Sons and the higher transition beings consult those of the morontia halls, while seraphim and the higher spirit personalities of the realm peruse the records of the spirit section.
39:4.16 (436.2) 6. 記錄者。這些熾天使是地方系統之三重記錄的保管者。系統首府上的記錄聖殿是一種獨特的結構，三分之一為物質性，由發光的金屬與水晶所構成；三分之一為靈質性，由靈性能量與物質性能量的結合製成，但超出凡人的視覺範圍；還有三分之一為靈性的。此類別的記錄者掌管並維護這三重記錄系統。揚升凡人起初會查閱物質性檔案，物質之子與較高等的過渡存有，會查閱靈質大廳的那些檔案，而熾天使與該領域中較高等的靈之人格體，則會詳閱靈之分區的記錄。
39:4.17 (436.3) 7. The Reserves. The reserve corps of administrator seraphim on Jerusem spend much of their waiting time in visiting, as spirit companions, with the newly arrived ascending mortals from the various worlds of the system—the accredited graduates of the mansion worlds. One of the delights of your sojourn on Jerusem will be to talk and visit, during recess periods, with these much-traveled and many-experienced seraphim of the waiting reserve corps.
39:4.17 (436.3) 7. 後備隊。耶路瑟姆上的行政者熾天使後備隊，將其大量的待命時間，作為靈之友伴，與那些來自系統各個世界新近抵達的揚升中凡人——經認可的宅廈世界畢業生——相聚。你在耶路瑟姆上旅居的樂趣之一，將是在間歇期間，與這些行多識廣的待命後備團隊之熾天使交談並相聚。
39:4.18 (436.4) It is just such friendly relationships as these that so endear a system capital to the ascending mortals. On Jerusem you will find the first intermingling of Material Sons, angels, and ascending pilgrims. Here fraternize beings who are wholly spiritual and semispiritual and individuals just emerging from material existence. Mortal forms are there so modified and human ranges of light reaction so extended that all are able to enjoy mutual recognition and sympathetic personality understanding.
39:4.18 (436.4) 正是諸如此類的友好關係，使得系統首府如此深受揚升凡人的鍾愛。在耶路瑟姆，你將會發現物質之子、天使與揚升朝聖者的首次相互混合。在這裡，完全靈性的、半靈性的存有以及剛自物質性存在中脫離出來的個體，彼此如兄弟般地往來。在那裡，凡人的形態被如此地修改，而人類對光反應的範圍如此地擴展，一切存有均能享有相互辨識與同感的人格理解。
39:5.1 (436.5) These seraphim maintain headquarters on the system capitals and, though closely associated with the resident Adamic citizens, are primarily assigned to the service of the Planetary Adams, the biologic or physical uplifters of the material races on the evolutionary worlds. The ministering work of angels becomes of increasing interest as it nears the inhabited worlds, as it nears the actual problems faced by the men and women of time who are preparing themselves for the attempt to attain the goal of eternity.
39:5.1 (436.5) 這些熾天使在系統首府設有總部，並且雖與常駐的亞當公民緊密相聯，卻主要被委派服務於行星亞當——演化世界上物質性種族的生物性或物理性提升者。當天使的事奉工作愈接近有居住者的世界，越接近時間中的男女在為嘗試達致永恆之目標做準備時所面臨的實際問題，他們的工作就越發令人感興趣。
39:5.2 (437.1) On Urantia the majority of the planetary helpers were removed upon the collapse of the Adamic regime, and the seraphic supervision of your world devolved to a greater extent upon the administrators, the transition ministers, and the guardians of destiny. But these seraphic aids of your defaulting Material Sons still serve Urantia in the following groups:
39:5.2 (437.1) 在玉苒廈上，當亞當政權瓦解之際，絕大多數的行星助手都被被撤離，而你們世界的熾天使監督，在更大程度上轉移到行政者熾天使、過渡事奉者以及天命守護者。然而你們違失物質之子的這些熾天使輔佐者，仍以下列群體服務於玉苒廈：
39:5.3 (437.2) 1. The Voices of the Garden. When the planetary course of human evolution is attaining its highest biologic level, there always appear the Material Sons and Daughters, the Adams and Eves, to augment the further evolution of the races by an actual contribution of their superior life plasm. The planetary headquarters of such an Adam and Eve is usually denominated the Garden of Eden, and their personal seraphim are often known as the “voices of the Garden.” These seraphim are of invaluable service to the Planetary Adams in all their projects for the physical and intellectual upstepping of the evolutionary races. After the Adamic default on Urantia, some of these seraphim were left on the planet and were assigned to Adam’s successors in authority.
39:5.3 (437.2) 1. 花園之聲。當人類進化的行星進程達到其最高的生物層級時，總會出現物質之子與物質之女，即亞當與夏娃們，藉由實際貢獻出其卓越的生命質，來增進種族的進一步進化。這樣一對亞當與夏娃的行星總部，通常被命名為伊甸園（Garden of Eden），而他們的個人熾天使通常被稱為「花園之聲」。在行星亞當為進化種族的物理性與智性提升的所有計畫中，這些熾天使提供了無可估量的服務。當亞當在玉苒廈違失後，這些熾天使中有一被留在這行星上，並被指派給亞當在職權上的繼任者。
39:5.4 (437.3) 2. The Spirits of Brotherhood. It should be apparent that, when an Adam and Eve arrive on an evolutionary world, the task of achieving racial harmony and social co-operation among its diverse races is one of considerable proportions. Seldom do these races of different colors and varied natures take kindly to the plan of human brotherhood. These primitive men only come to realize the wisdom of peaceful interassociation as a result of ripened human experience and through the faithful ministry of the seraphic spirits of brotherhood. Without the work of these seraphim the efforts of the Material Sons to harmonize and advance the races of an evolving world would be greatly delayed. And had your Adam adhered to the original plan for the advancement of Urantia, by this time these spirits of brotherhood would have worked unbelievable transformations in the human race. In view of the Adamic default, it is indeed remarkable that these seraphic orders have been able to foster and bring to realization even as much of brotherhood as you now have on Urantia.
39:5.4 (437.3) 2. 兄弟情誼之靈。顯而易見的是，當一對亞當與夏娃抵達一個演化世界時，在其多樣化種族之間達成種族和諧與社會合作的任務，是一項規模相當龐大的工作。這些不同膚色、天性各異的種族，很少會欣然接受人類兄弟情誼的計畫。這些原始的人，唯有在成熟人類經驗所產生的結果下，並透過熾天使兄弟情誼之靈的忠誠事奉，才能逐漸體認到和平彼此相聯的智慧。若沒有這些熾天使的工作，物質之子為協調並推進演化世界各種族所做的努力，將大幅延遲。如果你們的亞當曾遵循推進玉苒廈的原初計畫，那麼到了此時，這些兄弟情誼之靈早已在人類種族中造成了難以置信的轉變。鑒於亞當的違失，這些熾天使類別仍能培育並實現你們目前在玉苒廈上所擁有的這般兄弟情誼，這確實是非凡的。
39:5.5 (437.4) 3. The Souls of Peace. The early millenniums of the upward strivings of evolutionary men are marked by many a struggle. Peace is not the natural state of the material realms. The worlds first realize “peace on earth and good will among men” through the ministry of the seraphic souls of peace. Although these angels were largely thwarted in their early efforts on Urantia, Vevona, chief of the souls of peace in Adam’s day, was left on Urantia and is now attached to the staff of the resident governor general. And it was this same Vevona who, when Michael was born, heralded to the worlds, as the leader of the angelic host, “Glory to God in Havona and on earth peace and good will among men.”
39:5.5 (437.4) 3. 和平之魂。進化人們向上奮進的早期數千年，以一次又一次的爭鬥為特徵。和平並非物質性領域的自然狀態。世界首次體認到「世間和平與人間善意」，乃是透過熾天使和平之魂的事奉。儘管這些天使早期在玉苒廈上所做的努力在很大程度上受到挫阻，但亞當時代和平之魂的首領維沃娜（Vevona）被留在玉苒廈上，現今隸屬於常駐總督的幕僚。正是這位維沃娜，在邁克爾誕生時，作為天使眾軍之領導者，向諸世界宣告，「榮耀歸於哈沃納的神，世間和平與人間善意」。
39:5.6 (437.5) In the more advanced epochs of planetary evolution these seraphim are instrumental in supplanting the atonement idea by the concept of divine attunement as a philosophy of mortal survival.
39:5.6 (437.5) 在行星演化更為先進的紀元裡，這些熾天使在以作為凡人續存哲學的神性調和概念取代贖罪觀念上，發揮了重要作用。
39:5.7 (437.6) 4. The Spirits of Trust. Suspicion is the inherent reaction of primitive men; the survival struggles of the early ages do not naturally breed trust. Trust is a new human acquisition brought about by the ministry of these planetary seraphim of the Adamic regime. It is their mission to inculcate trust into the minds of evolving men. The Gods are very trustful; the Universal Father is willing freely to trust himself—the Adjuster—to man’s association.
39:5.7 (437.6) 4. 信任之靈。猜疑是原始人的固有反應；早期的生存爭鬥並不會自然地孕育出信任。信任是一種嶄新的人類獲得，它是經由亞當政權中的這些行星熾天使之事奉所帶來的。他們的使命是將信任注入進化中人們的心智。諸神是極富信任的；萬有之父樂於不受拘束地將他自身──調整者──託付於與人的相聯。
39:5.8 (438.1) This entire group of seraphim was transferred to the new regime after the Adamic miscarriage, and they have ever since continued their labors on Urantia. And they have not been wholly unsuccessful since a civilization is now evolving which embodies much of their ideals of confidence and trust.
39:5.8 (438.1) 在亞當的失利之後，這整個熾天使群體被轉到新的政體，而自那時以來，他們一直持續在玉苒廈上從事其工作。他們並非全然未曾成功，因為一個體現了他們許多信心與信任之理想的文明，現在正在演化。
39:5.9 (438.2) In the more advanced planetary ages these seraphim enhance man’s appreciation of the truth that uncertainty is the secret of contented continuity. They help the mortal philosophers to realize that, when ignorance is essential to success, it would be a colossal blunder for the creature to know the future. They heighten man’s taste for the sweetness of uncertainty, for the romance and charm of the indefinite and unknown future.
39:5.9 (438.2) 在更為先進的行星時代中，這些熾天使提升人對此一真理的賞識：不確定性乃知足延續之秘密。他們幫助凡人哲學家體認到，當無知對成功而言是不可或缺時，受造物若知曉未來，將是莫大的疏失。他們提高了人對於不確定性之甜美、對於未定且未知未來之浪漫與魅力的品味。
39:5.10 (438.3) 5. The Transporters. The planetary transporters serve the individual worlds. The majority of enseraphimed beings brought to this planet are in transit; they merely stop over; they are in custody of their own special seraphic transporters; but there are a large number of such seraphim stationed on Urantia. These are the transport personalities operating from the local planets, as from Urantia to Jerusem.
39:5.10 (438.3) 5. 運輸者。行星運輸者服務個別世界。大多數由熾天使裹覆帶到這一行星的存有，皆處於移行中；他們僅是中途停留；他們由其自己特別的熾天使運輸者照管；但是也存在有大量這類熾天使駐紮在玉苒廈上。這些即是自地方行星運作——就像自玉苒廈前往耶路瑟姆——的運輸人格體，。
39:5.11 (438.4) Your conventional idea of angels has been derived in the following way: During moments just prior to physical death a reflective phenomenon sometimes occurs in the human mind, and this dimming consciousness seems to visualize something of the form of the attending angel, and this is immediately translated into terms of the habitual concept of angels held in that individual’s mind.
39:5.11 (438.4) 你們對天使的通行觀念，是由下列方式衍生而來的：在肉體死亡之前的的片刻間，人類的心智中有時會出現一種反射性現象，而這種逐漸黯淡的意識，似乎會將隨侍天使形態的某種樣貌予以視覺化，這立即被轉譯成該個體心智中慣常持有的天使概念的形式。
39:5.12 (438.5) The erroneous idea that angels possess wings is not wholly due to olden notions that they must have wings to fly through the air. Human beings have sometimes been permitted to observe seraphim that were being prepared for transport service, and the traditions of these experiences have largely determined the Urantian concept of angels. In observing a transport seraphim being made ready to receive a passenger for interplanetary transit, there may be seen what are apparently double sets of wings extending from the head to the foot of the angel. In reality these wings are energy insulators—friction shields.
39:5.12 (438.5) 天使擁有翅膀這一錯誤觀念，並非完全源於天使必須有翅膀方能飛越空中的古老想法。有時候，人類存有曾獲準觀察正在為運輸服務做準備的熾天使，而這些經歷的傳說，在很大程度上決定了玉苒廈人對天使的概念。在觀察一位運輸熾天使正準備接收一名乘客進行行星間移行時，可能會看到從天使頭部延伸到腳部的兩組看似翅膀的東西。事實上，這些翅膀是能量絕緣體──摩擦防護盾。
39:5.13 (438.6) When celestial beings are to be enseraphimed for transfer from one world to another, they are brought to the headquarters of the sphere and, after due registry, are inducted into the transit sleep. Meantime, the transport seraphim moves into a horizontal position immediately above the universe energy pole of the planet. While the energy shields are wide open, the sleeping personality is skillfully deposited, by the officiating seraphic assistants, directly on top of the transport angel. Then both the upper and lower pairs of shields are carefully closed and adjusted.
39:5.13 (438.6) 當天界存有即將被熾天使裹覆，以從一個世界轉移到另一個世界時，他們會被帶到該天體的總部，並在適當的登記後，被引導進入移行睡眠。同時，運輸熾天使則移動到該行星宇宙能量極點正上方的水平位置。在能量防護盾完全張開時，沉睡中的人格體會由行使職務的熾天使類助理熟練地直接安置在運送天使的上方。接著，上方與下方兩對防護盾仔細地關閉並調整。
39:5.14 (438.7) And now, under the influence of the transformers and the transmitters, a strange metamorphosis begins as the seraphim is made ready to swing into the energy currents of the universe circuits. To outward appearance the seraphim grows pointed at both extremities and becomes so enshrouded in a queer light of amber hue that very soon it is impossible to distinguish the enseraphimed personality. When all is in readiness for departure, the chief of transport makes the proper inspection of the carriage of life, carries out the routine tests to ascertain whether or not the angel is properly encircuited, and then announces that the traveler is properly enseraphimed, that the energies are adjusted, that the angel is insulated, and that everything is in readiness for the departing flash. The mechanical controllers, two of them, next take their positions. By this time the transport seraphim has become an almost transparent, vibrating, torpedo-shaped outline of glistening luminosity. Now the transport dispatcher of the realm summons the auxiliary batteries of the living energy transmitters, usually one thousand in number; as he announces the destination of the transport, he reaches out and touches the near point of the seraphic carriage, which shoots forward with lightninglike speed, leaving a trail of celestial luminosity as far as the planetary atmospheric investment extends. In less than ten minutes the marvelous spectacle will be lost even to reinforced seraphic vision.
39:5.14 (438.7) 此時，在轉換者與傳輸者的影響下，隨著熾天使被準備好以擺入宇宙迴路的能量流中，一場奇特的蛻變開始了。就外觀而言，該熾天使兩端逐漸變尖，變得被一種奇特的琥珀色光所如此籠罩，以致於很快就無法區分出被熾天使裹覆的人格體。當一切為出發的準備就緒時，運輸長會對生命運載體進行適當的檢查，執行例行測試，以確定天使是否已正確地納入迴路，然後宣布旅行者已恰當地被熾天使所裹覆、能量已調整，天使已絕緣，並且宣布一切均已為啟程時的閃光準備就緒。接著，兩名機械控制者就位。此時，運輸熾天使已變成一個幾近透明、振動著且呈魚雷狀的閃耀發光輪廓。現在，該領域的運輸調度者會召喚由有生命的能量傳輸者——其數目通常為一千名——所組成的輔助編組；當他宣告運輸之目的地時，他會伸手觸及熾天使運載體的較近端，該運載體便以閃電般的速度向前射出，留下一道天界發光軌跡，一直延伸到該行星大氣包覆層所及之處。在不到十分鐘內，這壯麗的奇觀即便是對強化的熾天使視覺而言，也會消失無蹤。
39:5.15 (439.1) While planetary space reports are received at noon at the meridian of the designated spiritual headquarters, the transporters are dispatched from this same place at midnight. That is the most favorable time for departure and is the standard hour when not otherwise specified.
39:5.15 (439.1) 行星空間報告於正午時分，在指定靈性總部之子午線上接收，而運輸者則是從同一地點於於午夜時分被派遣。那是啟程的最佳時間，也是未另行指定時的標準時刻。
39:5.16 (439.2) 6. The Recorders. These are the custodians of the major affairs of the planet as it functions as a part of the system, and as it is related to, and concerned in, the universe government. They function in the recording of planetary affairs but are not concerned with matters of individual life and existence.
39:5.16 (439.2) 6. 記錄者。這些是行星重大事務——就行星作為系統的一部分而發揮作用，且與宇宙管理機構相關並參與其中而言——的保管者。他們在記錄行星事務方面行使職能，但並不涉及個體生命與存在之事項。
39:5.17 (439.3) 7. The Reserves. The Satania reserve corps of the planetary seraphim is maintained on Jerusem in close association with the reserves of the Material Sons. These abundant reserves repletely provide for every phase of the manifold activities of this seraphic order. These angels are also the personal message bearers of the local systems. They serve transition mortals, angels, and the Material Sons as well as others domiciled on the system headquarters. While Urantia is, at present, outside the spiritual circuits of Satania and Norlatiadek, you are otherwise in intimate touch with interplanetary affairs, for these messengers from Jerusem frequently come to this world as to all the other spheres of the system.
39:5.17 (439.3) 7. 後備隊。撒旦尼亞的行星熾天使後備團隊，駐留於耶路瑟姆，並與物質之子的後備隊密切相聯。這些數量充裕的後備隊，為此熾天使類別繁多活動的每一階段提供充分準備。這些天使也是地方系統的人格性信息遞送者。他們為過渡凡人、天使與物質之子服務，也為其他定居在系統總部的存有服務。儘管玉苒廈目前仍處於撒旦尼亞與諾拉歇德的靈性迴路之外，但你們在其他方面依然與行星間事務保持著密切的接觸，因為這些來自耶路瑟姆的信使經常來到這個世界，就像前往該系統中的所有其他天體一樣。
39:6.1 (439.4) As their name might suggest, seraphim of transitional ministry serve wherever they can contribute to creature transition from the material to the spiritual estate. These angels serve from the inhabited worlds to the system capitals, but those in Satania at present direct their greatest efforts toward the education of the surviving mortals on the seven mansion worlds. This ministry is diversified in accordance with the following seven orders of assignment:
39:6.1 (439.4) 正如其名稱所可能暗示的，從事過渡事奉的熾天使，在任何他們能夠促成受造物由物質性存在境況過渡到靈性存在境況之處服務。從有居住者世界到系統首府，這些天使皆從事服務，但目前在撒旦尼亞的那些熾天使，將其最大努力投注在七個宅廈世界上續存凡人的教育。此項事奉依據以下七個派任類別而多樣化：
39:6.2 (439.5) 1. Seraphic Evangels.
39:6.2 (439.5) 1. 熾天使福音使者。
39:6.3 (439.6) 2. Racial Interpreters.
39:6.3 (439.6) 2. 種族詮釋者。
39:6.4 (439.7) 3. Mind Planners.
39:6.4 (439.7) 3. 心智規劃者。
39:6.5 (439.8) 4. Morontia Counselors.
39:6.5 (439.8) 4. 靈質參議者。
39:6.6 (439.9) 5. Technicians.
39:6.6 (439.9) 5. 技術專家。
39:6.7 (439.10) 6. Recorder-Teachers.
39:6.7 (439.10) 6. 記錄者-教師。
39:6.8 (439.11) 7. Ministering Reserves.
39:6.8 (439.11) 7. 事奉後備隊。
39:6.9 (439.12) More about these seraphic ministers to transitional ascenders you will learn in connection with the narratives dealing with the mansion worlds and the morontia life.
39:6.9 (439.12) 有關這些熾天使事奉者之於過渡性揚升者的更多內容，你將在與論及宅廈世界和靈質生命的敘述相連處得知。
39:7.1 (440.1) These angels do not minister extensively except in older realms and on the more advanced planets of Nebadon. Large numbers of them are held in reserve on the seraphic worlds near Salvington, where they are engaged in pursuits relevant to the sometime dawning of the age of light and life in Nebadon. These seraphim do function in connection with the ascendant-mortal career but minister almost exclusively to those mortals who survive by some one of the modified orders of ascension.
39:7.1 (440.1) 這些天使除了在較古老的領域以及內巴頓較先進的行星之外，並不廣泛地事奉。他們之中有極大數量作為後備隊被保留於靠近薩爾文頓的熾天使世界，在那裡他們從事與內巴頓光與生命時代終將漸露曙光相關之事。這些熾天使的確在與凡人揚升生涯相連之中發揮作用，但是他們幾乎專屬事奉那些藉由某一種經修改的揚升類別而續存的凡人。
39:7.2 (440.2) Inasmuch as these angels are not now directly concerned with either Urantia or Urantians, it is deemed best to withhold the description of their fascinating activities.
39:7.2 (440.2) 鑑於這些天使目前與玉苒廈或玉苒廈人並無直接相關，因此被認為最好保留對他們那些引人入勝活動的描述。
39:8.1 (440.3) Seraphim are of origin in the local universes, and in these very realms of their nativity some achieve service destiny. With the help and counsel of the senior archangels some seraphim may be elevated to the exalted duties of Brilliant Evening Stars, while others attain the status and service of the unrevealed co-ordinates of the Evening Stars. Still other adventures in local universe destiny may be attempted, but Seraphington ever remains the eternal goal of all angels. Seraphington is the angelic threshold to Paradise and Deity attainment, the transition sphere from the ministry of time to the exalted service of eternity.
39:8.1 (440.3) 熾天使源自地方宇宙，而在這些他們出身的領域中，有些達成了服務天命。在資深大天使的幫助與參議下，有些熾天使可能會被提升到閃耀暮星的崇高職責，而其他則達致暮星之未揭示等同者的地位與服務。在地方宇宙天命中，尚有其它的冒險可以嘗試，但熾天使之都始終是所有天使的永恆目標。熾天使之都是前往天堂與神靈達致的天使門檻，是自時間之事奉到永恆之崇高服務的過渡天體。
39:8.2 (440.4) Seraphim may attain Paradise in scores—hundreds—of ways, but the most important as elaborated in these narratives are the following:
39:8.2 (440.4) 熾天使得以數十——乃至數百——種方式達致天堂，但這些敘述中所闡明的最重要方式如下：
39:8.3 (440.5) 1. To gain admission to the Paradise seraphic abode in a personal capacity by achieving perfection of specialized service as a celestial artisan, a Technical Adviser, or a Celestial Recorder. To become a Paradise Companion and, having thus attained the center of all things, perhaps then to become an eternal minister and adviser to the seraphic orders and others.
39:8.3 (440.5) 1. 藉由作為天界藝匠、技術顧問或天界記錄者，在專門服務上達致完美，而以個人身分獲准進入天堂熾天使居所。成為一名天堂友伴，並且，已達致萬物之中心後，或許繼而成為熾天使類別及其他存有的永恆事奉者與顧問。
39:8.4 (440.6) 2. To be summoned to Seraphington. Under certain conditions seraphim are commanded on high; in other circumstances angels sometimes achieve Paradise in a much shorter time than mortals. But no matter how fitted any seraphic pair may be, they cannot initiate departure for Seraphington or elsewhere. None but successful destiny guardians can be sure of proceeding to Paradise by a progressive path of evolutionary ascent. All others must patiently await the arrival of the Paradise messengers of the tertiary supernaphim who come with the summons commanding them to appear on high.
39:8.4 (440.6) 2. 奉召至熾天使之都。在某些情況下，熾天使受命於高天；在另一些情況下，天使有時以遠較凡人更短的時間達致天堂。然而無論任一對熾天使如何適任，他們都不能自行啟程前往熾天使之都或其它地方。唯有成功的天命守護者，方能確知得以循進化揚升之之漸進道路前往天堂。所有其他熾天使都必須耐心等待三階超級熾天使中帶著命其現身於高天之召喚的天堂使者到來。
39:8.5 (440.7) 3. To attain Paradise by the evolutionary mortal technique. The supreme choice of seraphim in the career of time is the post of guardian angel in order that they may attain the career of finality and be qualified for assignment to the eternal spheres of seraphic service. Such personal guides of the children of time are called guardians of destiny, signifying that they guard mortal creatures in the path of divine destiny, and that in so doing they are determining their own high destiny.
39:8.5 (440.7) 3. 藉由進化凡人的技法達致天堂。熾天使在時間生涯中的最高選擇，是守護天使之職，以便他們得以達致終局性生涯，並取得受委派至熾天使服務之永恆天體的資格。這些時間之子女的個人引導者被稱為天命守護者，意指他們在神性天命之路上守護著凡人受造物，亦意指在如此行事中，他們正決定其自身崇高的天命。
39:8.6 (440.8) Guardians of destiny are drawn from the ranks of the more experienced angelic personalities of all orders of seraphim who have qualified for this service. All surviving mortals of Adjuster-fusion destiny have temporary guardians assigned, and these associates may become permanently attached when mortal survivors attain the requisite intellectual and spiritual development. Before mortal ascenders leave the mansion worlds, they all have permanent seraphic associates. This group of ministering spirits is discussed in connection with the Urantia narratives.
39:8.6 (440.8) 天命守護者取自所有已具此服務資格的熾天使類別中較富經驗的天使人格體行列。所有具有與調整者融合天命的續存凡人，皆獲委派臨時守護者，而當凡人續存者達致所需的智性與靈性發展時，這些相聯者便可能成為永久依附。在凡人揚升者離開宅廈世界之前，他們都有永久的熾天使相聯者。此一事奉靈群體，將在與玉苒廈相連的篇章中討論。
39:8.7 (441.1) It is not possible for angels to attain God from the human level of origin, for they are created a “little higher than you”; but it has been wisely arranged that, while they cannot possibly start up from the very bottom, the spiritual lowlands of mortal existence, they may go down to those who do start from the bottom and pilot such creatures, step by step, world by world, to the portals of Havona. When mortal ascenders leave Uversa to begin the circles of Havona, those guardians of attachment subsequent to the life in the flesh will bid their pilgrim associates a temporary farewell while they journey to Seraphington, the angelic destination of the grand universe. Here will these guardians attempt, and undoubtedly achieve, the seven circles of seraphic light.
39:8.7 (441.1) 天使不可能從人類起源的層次達致神，因為他們受造得「比你們稍高一點」；然而都已有智慧地安排，儘管他們不可能從最底層——凡人存在的靈性低地——起步，但他們卻可以下降到那些確實從底層開始的存有那裡，並引領這些受造物逐步地、逐個世界地前往哈沃納的門戶。當凡人揚升者離開尤沃薩，開始哈沃納之諸環圈時，那些繼肉身生命後的依附守護者，將會暫時告別他們的朝聖者同伴，而他們則前往熾天使之都——大宇宙中的天使目的地。在這兒，這些守護者將嘗試熾天使之光的七個環圈，且無疑必將達成。
39:8.8 (441.2) Many, but not all, of those seraphim assigned as destiny guardians during the material life accompany their mortal associates through the Havona circles, and certain other seraphim pass through the circuits of the central universe in a way that is wholly different from the mortal ascent. But irrespective of the route of ascent, all evolutionary seraphim traverse Seraphington, and the majority pass through this experience instead of the Havona circuits.
39:8.8 (441.2) 在物質生命期間被委派為天命守護者的那些熾天使中，有許多——但並非全部——會陪伴其凡人相聯者通過哈沃納諸環圈，而某些其他熾天使，則以一種完全不同於凡人揚升的方式經歷中央宇宙諸迴路。但無論其揚升路線為何，所有進化熾天使都會穿越熾天使之都，而且多數是經歷這一歷程，而非哈沃納諸迴路。
39:8.9 (441.3) Seraphington is the destiny sphere for angels, and their attainment of this world is quite different from the experiences of the mortal pilgrims on Ascendington. Angels are not absolutely sure of their eternal future until they have attained Seraphington. No angel attaining Seraphington has ever been known to go astray; sin will never find response in the heart of a seraphim of completion.
39:8.9 (441.3) 熾天使之都為天使而設的天命天體。他們在此一世界的達致與凡人朝聖者在揚升之都上的經歷截然不同。天使在達致熾天使之都以前，對其永恆未來並非絕對確定。從未聽聞任何達致熾天使之都的天使曾誤入歧途，罪將永遠不會在一位完成之熾天使的心中找到回應。
39:8.10 (441.4) The graduates of Seraphington are variously assigned: Destiny guardians of Havona-circle experience usually enter the Mortal Finaliter Corps. Other guardians, having passed their Havona separation tests, frequently rejoin their mortal associates on Paradise, and some become the everlasting associates of the mortal finaliters, while others enter the various nonmortal finaliter corps, and many are mustered into the Corps of Seraphic Completion.
39:8.10 (441.4) 熾天使之都的畢業者所受委派不一：具備哈沃納-環圈經驗的天命守護者，通常會進入凡人終局者團隊。其他已通過其哈沃納離別考驗的守護者，經常會在天堂與他們的凡人相聯者重聚，有些成為凡人終局者的永久相聯者，而其他則進入各種非凡人終局者團隊，並且許多被編入熾天使完成團隊。
39:9.1 (441.5) After attainment of the Father of spirits and admission to the seraphic service of completion, angels are sometimes assigned to the ministry of worlds settled in light and life. They gain attachment to the high trinitized beings of the universes and to the exalted services of Paradise and Havona. These seraphim of the local universes have experientially compensated the differential in divinity potential formerly setting them apart from the ministering spirits of the central and superuniverses. Angels of the Seraphic Corps of Completion serve as associates of the superuniverse seconaphim and as assistants to the high Paradise-Havona orders of supernaphim. For such angels the career of time is finished; henceforth and forever they are the servants of God, the consorts of divine personalities, and the peers of the Paradise finaliters.
39:9.1 (441.5) 在達致眾靈之父，並獲准進入熾天使完成服務團隊後，天使有時受委派事奉那些已安住於光與生命中的世界。他們獲配屬於諸宇宙中的高等三位一體化存有，以及獲配屬於天堂與哈沃納的崇高服務團隊中。這些地方宇宙的熾天使，已在經驗上彌補了神性潛能上的差異，而此差異先前曾使他們有別於中央及超級宇宙之事奉靈。熾天使完成團隊中的天使，擔任超級宇宙二級天使的相聯者，並擔任高等天堂-哈沃納類別的超級天使之助理。對這些天使來說，時間之生涯已結束；自此以後，並直到永遠，他們是神的僕人、神性人格體的伴侶，以及天堂終局者的同儕。
39:9.2 (441.6) Large numbers of the completion seraphim return to their native universes, there to complement the ministry of divine endowment by the ministry of experiential perfection. Nebadon is, comparatively speaking, one of the younger universes and therefore does not have so many of these returned Seraphington graduates as would be found in an older realm; nonetheless our local universe is adequately supplied with the completion seraphim, for it is significant that the evolutionary realms disclose increasing need for their services as they near the status of light and life. Completion seraphim now serve more extensively with the supreme orders of seraphim, but some serve with each of the other angelic orders. Even your world enjoys the extensive ministry of twelve specialized groups of the Seraphic Corps of Completion; these master seraphim of planetary supervision accompany each newly commissioned Planetary Prince to the inhabited worlds.
39:9.2 (441.6) 大批的完成類熾天使返回其原生宇宙，在那裡藉由經驗性完美之事奉，來補足神性稟賦之事奉。相對而言，內巴頓是較年輕的宇宙之一，因此不像在一個較古老的領域那樣，擁有如此多返回的熾天使之都畢業者；儘管如此，我們地方宇宙仍配有充分的完成熾天使，因為具有意義的是，當演化領域接近於光與生命之地位時，就會對他們的服務顯示出與日俱增的需求。完成熾天使現在更為廣泛地與至上類別熾天使一同服務，但有些則與每一個其他天使類別一同服務。甚至你們世界也享有完成之熾天使團隊中十二個專門群體的廣泛事奉。這些行星監督之主位熾天使，陪伴著每一個新受委任的行星君王前往有居住者的世界。
39:9.3 (442.1) Many fascinating avenues of ministry are open to the completion seraphim, but just as they all craved assignment as destiny guardians in the pre-Paradise days, so in the post-Paradise experience they most desire to serve as bestowal attendants of the incarnated Paradise Sons. They are still supremely devoted to that universal plan of starting the mortal creatures of the evolutionary worlds out upon the long and enticing journey towards the Paradise goal of divinity and eternity. Throughout the whole mortal adventure of finding God and of achieving divine perfection, these spirit ministers of seraphic completion, together with the faithful ministering spirits of time, are always and forever your true friends and unfailing helpers.
39:9.3 (442.1) 許多引人入勝的事奉途徑，都向完成熾天使敞開，然而，正如在前天堂時期，他們全都強烈渴望作為天命運守護者的委任一樣，在後天堂經驗中，他們最渴望擔任化身天堂聖子的贈予隨從。他們仍然極其致力於那與萬有計劃——使演化世界的凡人受造物，踏上那漫長而迷人、朝向神性與永恒之天堂目標的旅程。在貫穿整個尋見神與達成神性完美的凡人冒險過程中，這些熾天使完成之靈事奉者，與忠誠的時間之事奉靈一起，始終且永遠是你們真正的朋友與可靠的助手。
