The Journal of Keeper Cripias
守护者克里皮亚斯的日志。
Dated in the year of our Emperor 993.M41
记录于帝国历993.M41。
For seventy long years I have laboured as Master Finnias laboured before me, and Master Shadiel before him, through eight hundred and thirty six generations of Keepers of the Library Sanctus of Terra. It has been our endeavour, our life-long aim, to compile a history of the majesty of the Human Race from the archives which are our worship. In his benevolent wisdom, the Emperor has granted me the singular and great honour and pleasure of completing this sacred task in my own lifespan.
七十年来，我一直像我之前的芬里斯大师以及他之前的谢迪尔大师一样谨慎地工作，通过了泰拉神圣图书馆的考验成为了第八百三十六代守护者。
我们的努力以及我们的终身目标是从我们崇拜的档案中总结和汇总人类不朽的历史资料。
以帝皇的仁慈智慧为名，我对于帝皇陛下给予我在我自己的生命中完成这项神圣而伟大的任务感到极度的自豪。
Through copious notes and periods of cogitation I have pieced together the history and pre-history of Mankind into the greatest antiquities of time. Here I have revealed my findings for the first time, for as it was in the time of the First Keeper, Solomon, our knowledge has passed by oratory and not written word. However, in these changing times there are none worthy to succeed me now, and so it is fit and rightful that I, the Last Keeper, Cripias, records our Great Works to these pages for eternity.
通过这段时期阅读丰富的笔记和思考，我把人类的历史和前史融合到了一起，从最古老的时代开始。
在这里，我将第一次揭示我的发现，因为在第一个守护者的时代，所罗门的时代，我们的知识传承是通过演讲而不是书面文字进行的。
然而，在这些不断变化的时代中，现在没有任何让我感兴趣的事情，所以我，到我现在这一任为止最后的守护者克里皮亚斯，将用合适并合法的方式将我们伟大的作品记录在这些永恒的页面上。
And so it was that in the First Age of Man, the Golden Age, there is the Emperor Unseen and unheralded he prepares the Old Earth for the coming of Mankind and he watches and he waits. He is joined by the First Men of the Golden Race, fine of limb and strong of mind, yet still the Emperor is content to wait in shadow. To watch and learn from Mankind, the Golden Race spreads across the face of Old Earth, multiplying and establishing Order and Civilisation on the anarchy of Nature. In time, the Second Men of the Stone Race appear, and in their wake come many miracles and marvels of technology that strengthen to Sone Men’s power, but are also harnessed by those of th Golden Race. Although physically inferior to the Golden Race, and not of philosophical temperament and disposition, the Stone Men have in them the conjurations of great artifices and mechanisms. In time, the Golden Race looks to the stars to expand their dominion. The Stone Race builds great machines of power that send both Men of Stone and Men of Gold into the Ether. However, once the burgeoning race of Mankind has taken its first steps into the greater cosmos, the Golden Race dwindles in influence through their dependence on the artifices of the Stone Race. This the Golden Age comes to an end and the Stone Men prevail.
在人类的第一个时代，黄金时代，帝皇隐藏在人群中，并且在那时的泰拉上没有人知道他或注意到他，他静静地注视着他的子民们。
当人类进入黄金时代，黄金人种是一种精神四肢且精神强大地种群，但皇帝仍然满足于隐藏在阴影中观察着并学习着自己的族群的优点。
黄金种族遍布当时的泰拉的地表，从自然的无政府状态下慢慢繁衍和建立秩序与文明。
随着时间的推移，第二个人种，石人种群出现了，并且随之而来的是许多奇妙的技术创造出的奇迹，这些奇迹加强了石人种群的力量，但也被黄金人种所利用。
虽然身体上不如金色种族，而思想上的能力相差无几，且石人具有强大的手段和技术的结合。
随着时间的推移，石人种帮助并加快了黄金人种的扩张统治。
石人种建造了强大的动力机器，将石人种和黄金人种一起送入太空。
然而，人类的新兴种族迈出了冲向更大的宇宙的第一步，通过依赖石人种族，黄金人种减少了影响力并被石人种夺取了领导地位。
黄金时代即将结束，石人种的时代来了。
Our calculations, from the most distant and archaic records, and through constellar comparison, have dated the end of the Golden Age at 20.000 years previous to our present time.
For the next 5.000 years, the Stone Race lives through the Dark Age of Technology. Little can be determined from the Dark Age of Technology, for the majority of existing records concerning that period are gathered in the Librarius Omnis of Mars, and none outside the highest ranks of the Adeptus Mechanicus can gain access past its most determined Guardians (Keeper Malrubius tried once, but to no avail. We have surmised that during the Dark Age of Technology, the Men of Ston create the Iron Men to help them in the building of their Great Empire. At first, the Iron Men are as servants, willing to do the bidding of their masters with no thoughts.
我们的通过对比星座的位置，从最遥远和最古老的记录和现在的星图的对比，我们推断黄金时代的结束在我们现在的20.000年前。
在接下来的5000年里，石人族经历黑暗时代的到来和结束。
我们拥有的黑暗科技时代的记录极少，因为有关那个时期的大多数现有记录都集中在火星的机械教主图书馆里，并且除了机械教的最高级别的人之外的任何生物，都无法通过其最坚定的守护者的看守而得到这些文件（守护者马里卢比斯Malrubius曾经尝试过，但无济于事）。我们猜测，在黑暗科技时代，石人族创造了铁人族，他们建立了伟大的人类国度。起初，铁人是石人族的仆人，愿意无条件的执行他们主人的命令。
However, the Iron Men, as all creatures do, evolve and grow until they are the equal of the Stone Race and beside each other they set about conquering the galaxy. The Dark Age of Technology is an era of machines and artificial devices, used by the Stone Men, and later the Iron Men, in their endeavours. Many of the technical marvels that the Priesthood of Mars sustain can be traced to their origins in the Dark Age of Technology, and itt is at the end of this period that the great organisation know now as the Adeptus Mechanicus was founded. During the Dark Age of Technology, the austere ancestors of the Imperium’s Navis Nobilite are born, and through their unique prowess, mankind forges through the stars. Weapons of great destruction cow the aggression of alien enemies, pushing back the frontiers of Mankind’s dominions.
然而，铁人族就像其他所有生物一样不断进化和成长着，直到它们与石头种族平等，并且彼此辅助着征服银河系。
黑暗科技时代是一个机器和人造物的时代，而这些科技被掌握在石人族以及后来的铁人族手中使用。
火星牧师所使用的许多奇迹一样的技术都可以追溯到黑暗时代的技术，这个在黑暗科技时期结束时，一个模糊但伟大的组织出现了，就是现在机械神教的前身。
在黑暗科技时代，人类中的导航者家族的祖先诞生了，通过他们独特的能力，人类横越群星。
大规模杀伤性武器被制造出来，扼杀了外星敌人的侵略的可能性，人类统治的边界一路拓张。
The end of the Dark Age of Technology is the most obscure region in mankind’s evolutionary tale. For whatever reasons and differences in ideology, the Stone Men and the Iron Men fell to warring with each other. The Iron Men are possessed of no Soul, an anathema to any true Man. The Stone Men in their final acts of self-preservation, annihilate the Iron Men who have turned from ally to foe, and even those of the Iron Race who retain their former loyalties ot theor one-time masters are destroyed in the fiery crucible of battle. Still the Emperor, in his eternal wisdom, awaits the moment to reveal the true path to Mankind’s destiny. Thus the start of the Age of Strife is heralded. The Age of Strife sees the collapse of the ancient Empire built by the Stone Men. Mankind is split asunder, there is no Race of Man, just warring factions contending with each other in the direst perils the galaxy could offer. Seeing humanity’s weakness, alien dominance grows in power oce again, the arms of the Stone Men left to ruin, the protection of the Iron Men destroyed in the last years of the Dark Age of Technology. For five millennia, the human race exists in the twilight of its former greatness, bickering and fighting for the scant resources to hand. With no guiding will, no manifest destiny of lordship, mankind is left in turmoil. Even Earth, the bedrock on which humanity’s Empire was founded is gripped in the throes of generation-long intercine war. The foul aliens who had been held back by the might of the Iron Men and the Stone Men surge forth from their havens and lairs, destroying mankind’s defences, killing or enslaving the Emperor’s wards. Mankind is engulfed by a plague of mutation, physical deviants and men possessed of psychic talents appear throughout the galaxy bringing more havoc with them. With no over-reaching authority, these lost souls and psykers sprawl unchecked across the human race. It is at this time that the Emperor reveals his true nature and sets about his plans of delivrance from anarchy.
黑暗科技时代的结束是人类进化故事中最模糊且不起眼的历史。
无论出于何种原因，也许是意识形态的差异，石人族和铁人族开始了大规模的交战。
铁人没有灵魂，是任何真正的生物的诅咒。
石人族使用了全部的科技和能力，消灭了那些从盟友变成敌人的铁人，甚至那些和他们以前一样忠诚的铁人也无法抵抗石人族的清算，他们的一次性地被摧毁在激烈的战斗中（其实依旧有残存地铁人存在）。
拥有永恒的智慧的帝皇仍然等待着人类的命运的道路被真正确定的那一刻。
因此，冲突时代不可避免地来到了。
冲突时代中，由石人族建造的古代帝国崩溃了。
人类走上了分裂的，互相混战地道路，人类地原星域没有统一地区域派系，反而开始在银河系中最大的混战中相互竞争。
看到了人类的弱点，昔日退避的外星人势力增强了自己的力量，石人的的帝国高耸的巨城变成了废墟，铁人族在黑暗科技时代的最后几年也覆灭了。
五千年中，人类在其昔日伟大的暮色中存活着，为争夺仅剩的资源而争斗不休。
没有一个领导的出现以及没有明显的主权意识，人类处于动荡之中。
即使是泰拉（地球），人类帝国所依赖的基石也在无法阻止人类的自相残杀行为。
被铁人和石人族强行阻挡的外星人从他们的避风港和巢穴中涌出，摧毁了人类的防御，杀死或奴役了帝皇的守卫。
人类被基因突变的灾难困扰，身体上的变异和拥有灵能的人出现在整个银河系中，而他们带来了更多的灾难和浩劫。
由于没有权威的领导，这些失落的灵魂和灵能者在人类中不受限制地蔓延。
正是在这个时候，伟大的帝皇展示了他的真实面目，并开始了帮助人类从无政府状态中解脱的计划。
For the last ten thousand years we have been in the glorious Age of the Imperium, the Reign of the Beneficent Emperor of Mankind. Using his vast intellect and knowledge of ages past, the Emperor creates a race of warriors to quell the warring factions on Earth, renaming our Homeworld Terra and affirming its place as the centre of the known galaxy. Having established ruleship over Mankind’s birthworld, the Emperor sets about to the re-creation of Mankind’s righteous fate. With his Legions of Space Marines, the Emperor leads the Great Crusade of Reconquest. It is a long and arduous war, but world after world, seing in the Emperor the rightful rule of mankind, falls to his service. The Space Marines, now numbered in their many thousands, establish outposts in the far reaches of the galaxy and from these bases on asteroids and moons and planet, launch forays into the darkness, bringing the Light and Word of the Emperor with them. Through this turmoil – the base treachery of the Warmaster and sacrifice of the Emperor, the contact with the noble offices of the Priesthood of Mars, the establishment of the Navis Nobilite and other noteworthy assemblages that we now take for granted as well as the purges of mutants and psykers – the Imperium is forged in blood and death, on a thousand thousand worlds the rightful and just rule of the Emperor is reasserted.
在过去的一万年里，我们一直处于光荣的帝国统治时代，即处于人类神圣的帝皇麾下的统治时期。
凭借他无上的智慧和过去经验的积累，帝皇创造了一种战士来平息地球上的战争，重新命名我们的家园为泰拉并将其作为已知星系的中心。
在对人类的诞生世界宣誓了主权之后，帝皇陛下开始重新规划和创造人类的路。
凭借他的星际战士军团，皇帝领导了神圣的大远征。
这是一场漫长而艰苦的战争，但域外的星球上的人类殖民地，在皇帝身上看到了人类的真理并纷纷宣布效忠帝皇。
星际战士战团的人数现在已经成千上万，它们在银河系的各处建立了前哨基地，并从小行星，卫星和行星上的这些基地开始，伴随着帝皇之光和神话抵抗着黑暗。
经历了战帅（第十六军团原体-荷鲁斯）的背叛和皇帝的牺牲，与火星机械神教的接触，导航者的付出以及我们现在注意到的其他黑暗的事宜以及清除不必要的突变体和灵能者，帝国是鲜血与死亡的结晶，在千千万万的域外世界中，帝皇作为合法而公正的统治地位被最终确立下来。
And so it is, ten thousand years since the Great Crusade we are able to live under the guiding Light of the Emperor, we have the guns of the Imperial Navy, Imperial Guard and Adeptus Astartes, to guard against betrayal and foul aliens.
因此，自大远征以来，我们生活在皇帝的指导之光下又经过了一万年的发展，拥有了帝国海军，帝国卫队和阿斯塔特的辅助，以防止可恶的背叛以及恶劣的异性的存在。
But the stories do not end there. For in our research, the Keepers of the Library Sanctus on Terra have uncovered many forgotten secrets, hidden lore, tales of treachery and heroism. Although we have not become, by no means, omniscient, we know many things that should not be known. For example, who few outside of this stone chamber have learned of the Betrayal of Luther, the Curse of the Red Thirst, the dark shrouded founding of the Sisterhood. Who has recited such tales of woe as can be found in the Legacies of Gathalamor, the unseen mysteries concering the origins of the Space Marines Legions, the dark perils that await those who passed beyond the Gates of Varl, the names of the sinister architects of the Ymga Monolith.
但这些故事并没有就此结束。
在我们的研究中，泰拉神圣图书馆的守护者发现了许多被遗忘的秘密，隐藏的传说，可耻背叛和英雄主义的故事。
虽然我们并没有变得无所不知，但我们知道了许多不应该知道的事情。
例如，在这个石室之外很少有人了解到卢斯的背叛，诅咒一样的鲜血渴望以及姐妹团的黑暗阴霾。
谁曾吟诵过这样的悲惨故事，这些故事可以在戈撒拉莫尔（一个星域）的遗产中找到，比如军团的起源，等待着人们的黑暗危险，亦或是是阴险的铸造师的名字。
Ymga Monolith。
