《最后的审判（续）》第53节

（一滴水译，2022）

　　53、在最后审判的日子，我看见来自这个民族的成千上万的人从这些城镇，以及周围的村子和地区被赶出来。他们是那些在世时没有出于任何宗教或良心，只是为了自己名声而行善，以便为了获利而显得诚实的人。像这样的人当不再关心自己的名利时，如在灵界的情形，就会冲进各种可憎的罪行；他们在田野、在城镇之外抢劫凡所遇见的人。我看见有些人被投入延伸到东部之下的一道火沟，其他人被投入延伸到南部之下的一个黑暗洞穴。我于1757年1月9日目睹了对他们的这种驱逐。只有那些拥有宗教信仰和由此产生的良心之人被允许留下来。

Supplements on the Last Judgment and the Spiritual World (New Century Edition 2020) 53

53. During the days of the Last Judgment I saw many thousands of people from that nation cast out of those cities and out of the surrounding towns and regions, people who in this world had not performed any good action for the sake of its connection with religion or conscience, but had done so solely for the sake of their own reputation, in order to be regarded as honest so that they could make a profit. When people like this lose their concern for their reputation or profit, which happens in the spiritual world, they plunge into all kinds of criminal behavior, robbing everyone they run into when they are in the fields and outside the cities.

I saw them cast down, some into a burning chasm that extended beneath the eastern quarter and others into a dark cave that extended beneath the southern quarter. I witnessed this on January 9, 1757.

The ones who lived by their religion, though, and had a conscience as a result, were allowed to stay.

Continuation of The Last Judgement (Chadwick translation 1975) 53

53. During the days of the Last Judgment I saw many thousands of that nation thrown out of the towns there and the villages and surrounding lands. These were those who in the world had not been led by any religious principles or by conscience to do any good, being only induced to keep up a reputation for honesty because it was to their advantage. For such people, when, as happens in the spiritual world, they stop thinking about reputation and advantage, plunge into every kind of crime, robbing any people they come across, while they are in the fields outside the towns. I saw them thrown into a fiery chasm stretching under the eastern district, and into a gloomy cavern stretching under the southern district. Their expulsion was witnessed on the ninth of January 1757. Those who had religious principles and conscience arising from them were left behind.

Continuation of The Last Judgment (Whitehead translation 1914) 53

53. ¹In the days of the Last Judgment, I saw many thousands of that nation cast out of the cities there, and out of the villages and surrounding lands. They were those who when in the world had done nothing of good from any religion or conscience, but only on account of reputation, that they might appear sincere for the sake of gain; for such when the prospect of fame and gain is taken away, as is the case in the spiritual world, then rush into every abomination; and when they are in the fields, and outside the cities, they rob every one they encounter. I saw them cast into a fiery gulf stretching under the eastern tract, and into a dark cavern stretching under the southern tract. This casting out I saw on the 9th day of January, 1757. Those only were left, among whom there was religion, and a conscience from religion.
