白天的时候,他们来到我的房子里说:“我们占用最小那间屋子。”
他们说:“我们要帮忙你礼拜你的上帝,而且只谦恭地领受我们应得的一份恩典”;他们就在屋角安静柔顺地坐下。
但是在黑夜里,我发现他们强暴地冲进我的圣堂,贪婪地攫取了神坛上的祭品。
When it was day they came into my house and said,“We shall only take the smallest room here. ”
They said,“We shall help you in the worship of your God and humbly accept only our own share in his grace”;and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek.
But in the darkness of night I find they break into my sacred shrine,strong and turbulent,and snatch with unholy greed the offerings from God’s altar.
