审判庭圣典节译：讨逆修会，圣锤修会和攘外修会

ORDO HERETICUS （THE WITCH HUNTERS ）

讨逆修会（猎巫师者）

A shadowy branch of an organisation already swathed in secrecy, the Ordo Hereticus is the guardian of Humanity, the watcher at the gates that protects Mankind — as much from its own weaknesses as any threat from without. The Witch Hunters of the Ordo Hereticus are sinister, feared individuals. Their skin is pale from long days spent in the excruciation chambers of Inquisition fortresses or poring over ancient texts that speak of the heretic and his machinations. 

审判庭已然是一个被秘密所包裹的组织，而讨逆修会更是其中一条隐秘的分支，他们是人性的戍卫者，看守着保护人类的大门——他们防备着人类自身的弱点，也抵御着来自外部的威胁。讨逆修会的猎巫人们是不详而可怕的人物，由于会在漫长的时间中身处审判庭要塞中的刑讯室，或者研读关于异端分子和他们阴谋的古代文献，所以他们的皮肤会呈现出苍白色。

For the first few millennia of its existence, the Ordo Hereticus was but a rumour even to other Inquisitors, so fanatically was its secrecy guarded. All this came to an end following the Age of Apostasy, when it was decided that the Ordo would serve better by casting an intimidating shadow, rather than existing as a myth too easily ignored. As the Ecclesiarchy flourished, so too did the Ordo Hereticus grow with it, for nothing piques an Inquisitor's suspicion more readily than a holy man claiming to speak with the Emperor's voice. Often, its agents pose as servants of the Ecclesiarchy, feigning subservience to a Cardinal's will until they have sufficient proof of the man's guilt — it is a rare priest with whom a member of the Ordo Hereticus cannot find fault. 

讨逆修会极为狂热地守护着自己的秘密，在他们存在的最初几千年里，哪怕对其他审判官而言，讨逆修会也只是一个谣言。但随着叛教时代的到来，这一切都结束了，当时的修会成员们认为，讨逆修会与其作为一个很容易被忽视的神话而存在，还不如投下令人畏惧的阴影。随着国教教会发展壮大起来，讨逆修会也随之成长发展——声称自己能发表帝皇圣言的圣人最容易引起审判官们的怀疑。修会特工们通常都会装扮成国教侍僧，假装服从枢机主教的意愿，直到他们找到证明此人有罪的足够证据——讨逆修会的成员无法找到其过错的国教牧师是很罕见的。

The arrival of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor is met with as much trepidation as awe, since none know where their gimlet gaze may land and upon whom their suspicions might fall. In addition to monitoring the Ecclesiarchy — ensuring that Wars of Faith do not exceed their mandate or that its many Cardinals do not amass more power than is deemed appropriate — the Ordo Hereticus keeps a close eye on many other Imperial organisations: the Adeptus Arbites, the Adeptus Astartes, the Adepta Sororitas and also fellow members of the Inquisition. They monitor doctrinal and physical purity, and no one is beyond their jurisdiction. It is a brave man who crosses the path of a Witch Hunter, as simply by opposing a member of the Ordo Hereticus an individual may be damned and declared Heretic and Extremis Diabolus. 

讨逆修会审判官的到访会让人们既害怕又敬畏，因为没有人知道他们那锐利的目光会落在哪里，他们又会怀疑谁是异端。除了监视国教——确保信仰战争（的规模）不会超过他们的授权，或者保证众多的枢机主教们并未聚集起多到被认为是不合适的权力——讨逆修会也严密监视着其他许多帝国组织：法务部，阿斯塔特修会，修女会，以及审判庭中的其他同僚。他们监督教义的正当性和生理的纯洁性，没有人能超越他们的管辖范围。勇敢者才能与猎巫人交锋，因为只要与讨逆修会中的一位成员作对，他就可能遭到诅咒，并被宣判为异端分子和绝罚恶徒。

ORDO MALLEUS （THE DAEMON HUNTERS ）圣锤修会（猎恶魔者）

Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus make it their business to combat the physical manifestation of Chaos itself: the Daemon. They have pledged their every waking hour to the discovery and scourging of such creatures, wherever they can be found. Members of the Ordo Malleus are often battle-hardened warriors, for Daemons cannot be cast out through the subtleties of espionage or trickery — only the blessed blade and the purified flame will serve. However, knowledge is their chief weapon. Agents of the Ordo Malleus are scholars of daemonic lore and know how to shackle and bind Warpspawn. Most use this only to seek advantage over their otherworldly prey, to leave them vulnerable to the strike of a Daemon hammer or a sanctified bolter shell. A few, however, go further, imprisoning daemonic entities in mortal host bodies and forcing the creatures to combat their own kind. 

圣锤修会的审判官们的任务是对抗混沌本身的物理表现形式——恶魔。他们发誓会在自己清醒着的每时每刻寻找和清除这些生物，无论它们被发现于何处。圣锤修会的成员们都是身经百战的战士们，因为狡猾的间谍活动或者阴谋诡计无法驱逐恶魔，只有被赐福的利刃和纯净的烈焰才能奏效。但是，知识才是他们的首要武器。圣锤修会的特工们是研究恶魔学识的学者，他们知晓如何束缚和限制亚空间产物。大多数圣锤修会审判官只是用这些知识来寻求超越自己的超自然猎物的优势，让恶魔们在恶魔之锤或神圣爆矢弹的打击下变得脆弱。但极个别人却走得更远，他们将恶魔实体囚禁在凡人宿主体内，强迫这些生物与他们自己的同类交战。

Militarily, the Ordo Malleus is the most formidable of the Inquisition's branches, for its agents can call upon the services of the Grey Knights to aid them in their struggles. The Grey Knights are Space Marines, designated Chapter 666. Their origins — like those of the Inquisition — are grounded in the final days before the Emperor's Ascension. Unlike other Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes, who are called upon to fight any and all threats to the Imperium, the Grey Knights are dedicated to slaying Daemons and stand ever ready to assist the Ordo Malleus in their long war against Chaos. 

在军事上，圣锤修会是审判庭最可畏的分支，因为该修会的特工们能召唤灰骑士帮助他们作战。灰骑士是星际战士，他们被称为666战团。就像审判庭那样，灰骑士战团也起源于帝皇升天前的最后那段时间。不同于会被召唤去对抗帝国所面对的所有各种威胁的其他阿斯塔特战团，灰骑士们致力于杀灭恶魔，并且随时准备在圣锤修会对抗混沌的漫长战争中提供帮助。

ORDO XENOS （THE ALIEN HUNTERS ）

攘外修会（猎异形者）

The calling of the Ordo Xenos is to investigate and catalogue alien species, identifying those which may be of use to the Imperium and orchestrating the destruction of those deemed to be a threat. Agents of the Ordo Xenos are typically the most eccentric of their kind, for they spend years — even decades — travelling and living in nonhuman space, learning everything they can that will facilitate the exploitation or elimination of the races they encounter. As a result, many Ordo Xenos Inquisitors have strong ties with Rogue Traders, with whom they share many goals, and often travel with retinues of alien mercenaries or travellers. Most speak dozens of nonhuman languages and have acquaintances and informants far beyond the Imperium's boundaries. Despite this, there is more blood on the hands of the Ordo Xenos than any other branch of the Inquisition. All too often, decades of peaceful and seemingly friendly contact are but a screen behind which raids by Deathwatch Kill Teams sabotage vital infrastructure, leaving the aliens defenceless against xenocidal attack from an Imperial battle fleet. Just as the Ordo Malleus can call upon the Grey Knights, so too can the Ordo Xenos call upon the services of their own Chamber Militant, the Deathwatch. Formed long ago by accord between a conclave of Inquisitor Lords and an esteemed assemblage of Space Marine Chapter Masters, the Deathwatch is composed entirely of veteran Space Marines, seconded from the greatest Chapters in the galaxy. They are trained and equipped to repel the alien tide that threatens to overwhelm Humanity, and are an invaluable tool for any Inquisitor seeking to vanquish the xenos threat.

攘外修会的使命是调查和分类异形物种，识别那些可能对帝国有用的物种，并精心策划对于那些被认为是威胁的物种的毁灭。攘外修会的特工通常是审判官中最古怪的那一类，他们会花费数年甚至数十年的时间在没有人类存在的宇宙空间中旅行和生活，学习一切有助于开发或消灭他们所遇到的种族的知识。所以很多异形审判官都与行商浪人有着密切联系，后者与他们有许多共同目标，而且经常随用异星人雇佣兵或旅行者一起旅行。许多异形审判官能说数十种非人类（智慧）物种的语言，而且在帝国疆界之外都有自己的熟人和线人。但尽管如此，攘外修会手上所沾染的鲜血却比审判庭其他任何分支的都要多。在很多时候，数十年的和平且看似友好的接触只是一个幌子，在它的背后，死亡守望杀戮小队的掠袭行动已经破坏了重要的基础设施，让异星人们在毫无抵抗能力的状态下面对帝国战斗舰队所发动的种族屠灭进攻。就像圣锤修会可以召唤灰骑士那样，攘外修会也能召唤他们自己的军事私兵——死亡守望。这个组织是很久之前由审判官领主们的和一群受人尊敬的星际战士战团长们在秘密会议上协商成立的，死亡守望完全由星际战士老兵们组成，成员们临时抽调自银河系中最强大的星际战士战团们。他们训练有素，装备精良，足以击退威胁人类的异星人进攻，对于任何寻求灭除异形威胁的审判官们而言，他们都是无价的利器。
