hh3渣翻节译：受祝之子

The Gal Vorbak is a title that, over time, came to refer to any of the Word Bearers who were possessed by the powers of the Warp, but those who later bore the title were a lesser breed of abomination compared to the first of the Legion  brethren who sealed their pact with darkness. The Gal Vorbak were the first of their kind; Space Marines and Daemons fused into a single being. The lords of the Left Hand believe that the Gal Vorbak formed from the survivors of the Word Bearers* first pilgrimage into the Eye of Terror. What happened to those first few cannot be known, but those who returned had taken the power of Chaos into their bodies and souls. Capable of seeming unaltered, they were able to commune with the daemonic parasites that shared their existence. In battle they could shed their veil of seeming and become true monsters, fusions of armour, bone and muscle charged with supernatural power. Marked by their crimson armour they were a revered elite amongst the Word Bearers, walking embodiments of Lorgar true vision for his Legion.

受祝之子是一个称号，随着时间的推移，它开始代指任何一个被亚空间力量所占据的怀言者。不过，相比于怀言者军团中第一批与黑暗达成协议兄弟们相比，那些后来获得这个头衔的人不那么令人厌恶。（机仆：受祝之子有两批，第一批基本被鸦王在伊五屠光了，考斯那群是第二批。）受祝之子们是这类战士当中的第一批：星际战士和恶魔融合为同一个体。左手领主们（机仆：指的应该是帝皇的左手——禁军的指挥官们）相信受祝之子是由怀言者们第一次进入恐惧之眼的朝圣旅程的幸存者组成的，最初的那些受祝之子们身上发生了什么我们不得而知，但那些返回的的人将亚空间的力量注入了自己的身体和灵魂当中。他们能够让自己看起来没有发生变化，而且能够和那些与自己共享身体的恶魔寄主们沟通。在战斗中他们能够揭开他们表面的普通阿斯塔特外表，变成真正的怪物。充满超自然力量的盔甲、骨头和肌肉融合在一起。猩红色的盔甲是他们的标志，在怀言者当中，他们是兄弟们所敬重的精英战士，是珞珈对于十七军团真实构想的行走于凡世的体现。

After the Word Bearers revealed their true nature at Isstvan V, the crimson of the Gal Vorbak spread to the rest of the Legion in fits and starts, and new Gal Vorbak walked with them. These new creatures were weaker than those who first went into the Eye of Terror. Perhaps the flesh and souls they enslaved were of a lesser stock, or perhaps the powers of the Warp, having no need for kindness or to prove their worth as allies any longer, had not invested them with the power of their predecessors. Irrespective of their power or pedigree, there has been no greater defilement of the Emperor's work in creating the Space Marines than these loathsome creatures.

当怀言者在伊斯特万五号高举反旗之后，受祝之子的猩红涂装断断续续地传播给军团的其他成员，新的受祝之子们也与他们前行。新的受祝之子们不如第一批进入过恐惧之眼朝圣的幸存者那般强大。也许是他们奴役的血肉和灵魂存货不足，或者，也许是亚空间力量不再需要仁慈或证明他们作为盟友的价值，新的受祝之子们没有被赋予他们前辈的力量。不管他们的力量或血统如何，这些招人厌恶的怪胎是对帝皇创造星际战士的工作的莫大侮辱。
