Behold, then Govinda, the shy one, also stepped forward and spoke: "I also take my refuge in the exalted one and his teachings," and he asked to accepted into the community ofhis disciples and was accepted.瞧,腼腆的戈文达这时也走上去说:“我也愿意信奉您和您的学说。”戈文达请求成为活佛的弟子,结果也被接纳了。
Right afterwards, when the Buddha had retired for the night, Govinda turned to Siddhartha and spoke eagerly: "Siddhartha, it is not my place to scold you. We have both heard theexalted one, be have both perceived the teachings. Govinda has heard the teachings, he has taken refuge in it. But you, my honoured friend, don't you also want to walk the pathof salvation? Would you want to hesitate, do you want to wait any longer?"接着,活佛退下去就寝,戈文达转向席特哈尔塔,热诚地说道:“席特哈尔塔,我没有权利责怪你。可是,咱们俩都听了活佛讲经,都听了他的教诲。戈文达听了教诲后已经信奉了活佛。可是你呢,我尊敬的人,难道你就不想走这条获救之路?难道你还犹豫,还要等待?”
Siddhartha awakened as if he had been asleep, when he heard Govinda's words. For a long tome, he looked into Govinda's face. Then he spoke quietly, in a voice without mockery:"Govinda, my friend, now you have taken this step, now you have chosen this path. Always, oh Govinda, you've been my friend, you've always walked one step behind me. Often Ihave thought: Won't Govinda for once also take a step by himself, without me, out of his own soul? Behold, now you've turned into a man and are choosing your path for yourself.I wish that you would go it up to its end, oh my friend, that you shall find salvation!"席特哈尔塔听了戈文达的话如梦方醒。他久久地凝视戈文达的脸,然后低声说道,语气中毫无讽刺的意味:“戈文达,我的朋友,现在你迈出了第一步,你选择了这条路。哦,戈文达,你向来都是我的朋友,一直是紧跟着我。我常想:没有我,戈文达会不会有一天也出于自己的意愿而单独迈出一步呢?瞧,现在你成了男子汉,自己选择了自己的道路。但愿你能把这条路走到底,哦,我的朋友!但愿你能获救!”
Govinda, not completely understanding it yet, repeated his question in an impatient tone: "Speak up, I beg you, my dear! Tell me, since it could not be any other way, that youalso, my learned friend, will take your refuge with the exalted Buddha!"戈文达没有完全听明白,于是又用不耐烦的口气重复了他的提问:“你倒是说呀,我求求你,亲爱的朋友!告诉我,怎么就不能是另一种样子,你,我的博学的朋友,也信奉这位可敬的活佛呢?”
Siddhartha placed his hand on Govinda's shoulder: "You failed to hear my good wish for you, oh Govinda. I'm repeating it: I wish that you would go this path up to its end, thatyou shall find salvation!"席特哈尔塔把手放在戈文达户上说:“你没听清我的祝愿,戈文达。我再重复一遍,但愿你能把这条路走到底!但愿你获救!”
In this moment, Govinda realized that his friend had left him, and he started to weep.这是戈文达才明白,他的朋友要离开他了,便哭起来。
"Siddhartha!" he exclaimed lamentingly.“席特哈尔塔!”他抱怨地喊道。
Siddhartha kindly spoke to him: "Don't forget, Govinda, that you are now one of the Samanas of the Buddha! You have renounced your home and your parents, renounced your birthand possessions, renounced your free will, renounced all friendship. This is what the teachings require, this is what the exalted one wants. This is what you wanted foryourself. Tomorrow, oh Govinda, I'll leave you."席特哈尔塔温和地说:“别忘了,戈文达,你现在已经是皈依佛祖的沙门了!你抛弃了故乡和父母,抛弃了出身和财产,抛弃了自己的意志,抛弃了友情。信仰要求这样,活佛要求这样,你自己也愿意这样。明天,哦,戈文达,我就要离开你了。”
For a long time, the friends continued walking in the grove; for a long time, they lay there and found no sleep. And over and over again, Govinda urged his friend, he shouldtell him why he would not want to seek refuge in Gotama's teachings, what fault he would find in these teachings. But Siddhartha turned him away every time and said: "Becontent, Govinda! Very good are the teachings of the exalted one, how could I find a fault in them?"这两个朋友又在小树林里溜达了很久,躺下之后也仍然久久未能入眠。戈文达再三追问他的朋友,要他说清楚为什么不愿信奉戈塔马的学说,他在这一学说中到底发现了什么缺陷。但是,席特哈尔塔每次都回答说:“算了吧,戈文达!活佛的教诲出类拔萃,我怎么能发现缺陷呢!”
Very early in the morning, a follower of Buddha, one of his oldest monks, went through the garden and called all those to him who had as novices taken their refuge in theteachings, to dress them up in the yellow robe and to instruct them in the first teachings and duties of their position. Then Govinda broke loose, embraced once again hischildhood friend and left with the novices.第二天清早,活佛的一个弟子,一个年长的和尚,跑遍了林苑各处,把所有新皈依的门徒都叫到他身边,让他们穿上黄僧衣,并且给他们讲解初步的知识,以及与他们的身份相应的职责。戈文达这时又跑回来,再一次拥抱了自己的好友,然后便加入了新和尚的行列。
But Siddhartha walked through the grove, lost in thought.席特哈尔塔却沉思着漫步走出了林苑。
Then he happened to meet Gotama, the exalted one, and when he greeted him with respect and the Buddha's glance was so full of kindness and calm, the young man summoned hiscourage and asked the venerable one for the permission to talk to him. Silently the exalted one nodded his approval.这时,戈塔马刚巧跟他迎面相遇。他满怀敬畏地向活佛问好,见活佛的目光满含仁慈与安详,就鼓起勇气请求活佛跟他谈一谈。活佛默默地点头同意了。
Quoth Siddhartha: "Yesterday, oh exalted one, I had been privileged to hear your wondrous teachings. Together with my friend, I had come from afar, to hear your teachings. Andnow my friend is going to stay with your people, he has taken his refuge with you. But I will again start on my pilgrimage."席特哈尔塔说:“活佛,昨天我有幸听了你奇妙的讲演。我和我的朋友从远方赶来,就是要来听你讲经的。如今我的朋友已留在了你身边,皈依了你,而我却要重新开始我的旅程了。”
"As you please," the venerable one spoke politely.“随你便啊。”活佛彬彬有礼地说。
"Too bold is my speech," Siddhartha continued, "but I do not want to leave the exalted one without having honestly told him my thoughts. Does it please the venerable one tolisten to me for one moment longer?"“我的话也许太狂妄,”席特哈尔塔继续说道,“但是,在把我的想法坦诚地告诉活佛之前,我不想离开。活佛,你能不能再劳神听我讲一会儿呢?”
Silently, the Buddha nodded his approval.活佛默默地点头同意了。

Behold, then Govinda, the shy one, also stepped forward and spoke: "I also take my refuge in the exalted one and his teachings," and he asked to accepted into the community ofhis disciples and was accepted.
