Kuldvärsid

Ajakirjast Teosoof leidsin eestikeelse tõlke. Siin paigutan ta kõrvuti erinevate kättesaadavate inglisekeelsete tõlgetega. See on, tuleb välja, isegi soovituslik - näiteks müüakse raamatut, mis sisaldab viite erinevat tõlget. Ise kraapisin inglisekeelsed siiski internetis saadavalolevatest allikatest kokku. Neid on suisa 10 tükki. Need on küll vahelduva kvaliteediga ja vanim on üle 300 aasta vana, aga erinevaid versioone võrreldes saab ehk paremini aimu, mida need 71 rida võivad sisaldada.

Ajakirja Teosoof eestikeelne tõlge on esmapilgul väga läbipaistev, aga võrdluses ilmneb selgelt, kus see puusse paneb. Samuti peab märkima, et selle nummerdus/jaotus erineb enamikest inglisekeelsetest ja mõnes kohas pidin vägivaldselt tükeldama inglisekeelseid tõlkeid (eriti nt rida 47, mis on õhusrippuv lauseosa). Igal tõlkel on muidugi oma bias. Kõige rämedam on Talbot, kes muidu järgib algteksti üsna kenast, aga viimase rea - sellest, et inimene võib ka saada jumalaks - jätab täiesti välja.

Üldised hinnangud: Rowe lisab ja laiendab palju, mõnikord üsna lennukalt; Talbot jätab nii mõndagi tuimalt välja; Coleman annab suhteliselt selge proosatõlke, millel nähtavasti põhineb ka Firthi oma ja selle põhjal omakorda eestikeelne Teosoofi tõlge; Redfield tõlgib prantsuse keelest ja jätab palju välja; Thom tõlgib akadeemiliselt, jälitab täpsust; Stanley libiseb luulevormi surudes paljust üle; Irigaray annab tõlke kreeka keelest, mida on kohmakas lugeda, aga mis järgib algteksti kõige täpsemalt ja teeb nii mõnedki muidu arusaamatud kohad selgeks; Roussel samamoodi järgib kohmakal kombel algteksti, aga aitab nii mõneski keerukuses selgusele jõuda; ja Tyson annab oma sõnadega edasi pütaagorlikku tagamõtet.

Tekst on alguses üsna lihtsakoeline ja arusaadav, aga umbes 57-st reast, kust algab kõige müstilisem osa, läheb lappama. Sealkandis oli kõige raskem erinevaid tõlkeid ühildada ja on kõige enam väljajätmisi. Eriti rida 62 - "Näita neile, millist deemonit nad kasutavad." - on selline, mida Redfield ja Stanley ei üritagi, ning üleüldiselt on raske öelda, mida sellega täpselt mõeldakse. Sisukorrana jätan siia oma esialgse tõlgenduse, peamiselt Irigaray põhjal, mis on liigendatud Firthi temaatilise jaotuse järgi. Seda hakkan edaspidi ehk sekundaarkirjandust kasutades parendama.

Austusest - "Concerning Highel Intelligences"

Esiteks austa seadust järgides surematuid jumalaid [1], austa ustavalt oma tõotust [2]. Järgmiseks austa hiilgavaid kangelasi [3]. Austa kohaste riitustega ka maaaluseid jumalaid [4].

Sõpradest ja sugulastest - "Concerning [Friends and] Relations"

Austa samuti oma ema ja isa ning sugulasi [5]. Ülejäänud inimkonna hulgast vali parimaks sõbraks keegi, kes paistab vooruslikuna silma [6] ja kuula tema hüva nõu ning järgi tema eeskuju [7]. Ära pane oma sõpradele pahaks nende väiksemaid vigasid [8], sest see, mis on võimalik, seisab väga lähedal sellele, mis on paratamatu [9].

Loomusest - "Concerning One's Lower Nature"

Tea, et asjad on tõepoolest nii ja hoolitse järgnevate harjumuste eest - ära söö, maga, seksi ega vihastu liiga palju [10]. Ära tee midagi häbiväärset üksinda ega teiste ees [11]. Üle kõige austa iseennast [12].

Käitumisest - "Concerning One's General Behaviour"

Ole oma sõnades ja tegudes õiglane [13]. Ole teadlik ja mõtlik kõiges, mida sa teed [14].

Surmast ja hädast - "Concerning Death and Misfortunes"

Ära unusta, et surm ootab kõiki [15], ja, et saatuse kätes on rikkust anda ja ära võtta [16]. Kõik kannatused on jumalate poolt saatusega ette määratud [17]. Astu saatusele väärikalt vastu [18], ja anna endast parim, et seda paremaks muuta [19]. Tea, et saatus ei jaga headele inimestele teistest rohkem kannatusi [20].

Õpetusest - "Concerning Doctrines"

Inimesed räägivad igasuguseid asju, nii häid kui halbu [21]. Ära lase end neist heidutada ja mõjutada [22]. Astu valedele vastu kannatuse ja lahkemeelsusega [23].

Sõnadest ja tegudest - "Concerning Actions and Speech"

Kanna hoolt, et sa toimid järgnevalt [24]. Ära luba kellelgi ei sõnade ega tegudega [25] veenda ennast tegema või ütlema seda, mis ei ole parim [26]. Mõtle, enne kui teed midagi rumalat [27], sest inimestele on kombeks öelda rumalusi ja teha kurja [28]. Ära tee midagi sellist, mis võib sulle endale hiljem kätte maksta [29]. Ära tee midagi, mida sa ei oska teha [30], aga õpi selgeks kõik mis vajalik, et elada õnnelik elu [31].

Kehast - "Concerning the Body"

Ära jäta unarusse kehalist tervist [32]. Anna oma kehale mõõdukalt süüa ja juua ning trenni [33]. Õige mõõt on see, mis liiga ei tee [34].

Eluviisist - "Concerning the Manner of Life"

Harjuta ennast puhta eluviisiga, mis on rikkumata ja mehine [35]. Vaata, et sa ei teeks midagi, mis tekitaks sinu suhtes kadedust [36]. Ära larista mõttetult nagu need, kes ei tunne õiget mõõtu [37]. Samas ära ole kitsi. Mõõdukus on kõigis asjus parim [38].

Sisekaemusest - "Concerning Introspection"

Tegutse endale liiga tegemata, aga mõtle, enne kui tegutsed [39]. Ära lase magusatel unenägudel oma silmi sulgeda [40] enne kui oled kolm korda läbi mõelnud, mida sa päeva jooksul korda saatsid [41]. Tegin ma midagi valesti? Mida tegin õigesti? Mida jätsin tegemata? [42] Mõtle otsast lõpuni kõigest, mida korda saatsid, midagi välja jätmata. Noomi ennast, kui oled teinud midagi halvasti ja rõõmusta asjade üle, mida tegid hästi [43]. See on see, mida sa pead tegema. See on sinu kohustus. Seda pead sa armastama [44], sest see juhatab sind vooruse teele [45].

Tõotus praktiliste vooruste tulemusest - "Oath Concerning the Result of the Practical Virtues"

Ma vannun tema nimel, kes andis meie hingele tetraktys-e [46], igavese looduse juure ja allika [47].

Jumalate abist - "Concerning the Help of the Gods"

Enne millegi tegemist palu jumalatel oma ettevõtmist pühitseda [48].

Inimeste ja jumalate loomusest - "Concerning the Nature and Constitution of Gods and Men"

Kui sa toimid nende reeglite järgi [49], siis saad teadlikuks sidemetest, mis ühendavad surematuid jumalaid surelike inimestega [50] ja saad selgeks, mis on mööduv ja mis on püsiv [51].

Universumi loomusest ja sellest, mis on võimalik - "Concerning the Nature of the Universe, and what is possible"

Sa saad teadlikuks, nagu sul on õigus saada, seadusest, et universumi olemus on üks ja sama kõigis [olendites] [52]. Niiet sa ei loodaks seda, mis on lootusetu, aga midagi ei jää sinu jaoks ka saladuseks [53]. Sa saad samuti teadma, et inimese kannatused on need, mis ta on ise vabal tahtel välja valinud [54], sest nad häbiväärsed õnnetud ei näe, et õnn on nende käeulatuses [55]

Teadmatusest ja hinge vabadusest - "Concerning Ignorance, and the Liberty of the Soul"

Samuti ei võta nad sõna kuulda, sest väga vähe on neid kes teavad, kuidas kannatustest vabaneda [56]. Selline on saatus, mis pimestab inimkonda ringiratast käima [57], siia ja sinna jooksma lõpututes kannatustes [58], seda õudsat ebakõla ära tundmata, mis neile on loomuomane [59]. Selle ebakõla üles keerutamise asemel tuleks seda vältida [60].

Teadmisest ja vabanemisest - "Concerning Knowledge and Deliverance"

Jumal, kui sa vaid vabastaksid inimesed neist lõpututest kannatustest [61] ja näitaks neile vaimu, mis neid juhib! [62] Ja sina, inimene, ole mureta, sest inimsugu on jumalikku päritolu [63] ja tema jumalik olemus paljastab talle kõik asjad [64]. Minu õpetusi kuulda võttes saad sa inimsoo jumalikkusest kasu [65] ja kui su hing on vabastatud, saad sa vabaks kõigist kannatustest [66].

Puhastumisest - "Concerning Purifications"

Väldi [loomseid] toite, nagu on osutatud Puhastumiste [67] ja Hinge Vabanemise raamatuis [68]. Kuid mõtle kõige üle järele, lase mõistusel juhtida oma hinge kaarikut [69] ja kui sa vabaned oma lihasest ihust, lähed sa immateriaalsesse eetrisse ["õnnistatute saartele"] [70] ja sinust saab hävimatu, surematu jumal, vabastatud [taassünnist ja] surmast [71].

    • Learn then, those things so good for all to know,
      For all who walk life's rugged path below;
      And turn thy thoughts, and ply thy strength amain,
      Each headlong grovelling passion to restrain.
      Let foul Debauch a stern subjection own,
      [|] And Sleep's domain, with Sloth's rank Weeds o'ergrown;
      Lust's foul desires should stoop to stern control,
      And Anger's breath, that shakes the troubled soul;
      Let meekness ever o'er thy speech reside;
      Be always found at Truth's unyielding side. (Talbot 1881: 185)
    • Know these things; accustom thyself to be the master of thy Passions: First gluttony, then sloth, luxury, and anger. (Coleman)
    • Know that all these things are as I have told thee; and accustom thyself to overcome these passions: - First gluttony, sloth, sensuality, and anger. (Firth)
    • Still it is given thee to fight and overcome
      Thy foolish passions: learn thou to subdue them.
      Be sober, diligent, and chaste; avoid all wrath. (Redfield 1917: 115)
    • Know the above then, and accustom yourself to be master of the following:
      first of all, of your stomach, of sleep, of lust,
      and of anger. (Thom 1995: 95)
    • These know, and with intentive care pursue;
      But anger, sloth, and luxury subdue. (Stanley 2010: 295)
    • Take this well to heart: you must gain control of your habits; First over stomach, then sleep, and then luxury, and anger; (Roussel)
    • Learn that, on the one hand, that things are thus; and on the other accustom yourself to dominate this: First the stomach and later sleep, sexual impulse and rage. (Irigaray)
    • In spite of the power that Necessity holds over humanity, you have the ability to fight against your own destructive passions - therefore learn to subdue unreasonable impulses. Avoid intoxication by alcohol and drugs, devote your main energies to your duties and obligations, and refrain from sexual excesses. Cast out all traces of anger and violence from your heart. (Tyson)
    • Ära tee kunagi midagi häbiväärset, ei teiste juuresolekul ega üksi olles.

      nor on your own. (Thom 1995: 95)

    • Järgmiseks pane tähele õiglust nii oma tegudes kui sõnades.
    • Let Justice o'er thy Word and Deed preside, (Rowe 1707: 155)
    • With others ne'er indulge the foul desire,
      But' let thy soul to purest thoughts aspire.
      In a word, in act, be justice in thy view; (Talbot 1881: 186)
    • In the next place be just both in deed and word. (Coleman)
    • In the next place, observe justice in thy actions and in thy words. (Firth)
    • Speak not nor act before thou hast reflected. (Redfield 1917: 116)
