翠玉录

17世纪虚构的翠玉录石板

翠玉录，英文名叫Emerald Tablet（也叫Smaragdine Table或Tabula Smaragdina，直接翻译的意思就是祖母绿色或翠绿色的石板）相传是公元前332年由埃及传入欧洲的炼金术文献，炼金术师相信上面记载着唯一之物（也有翻译成本源之物、原初之物的，换句话说就是贤者之石）的炼成方法，全文12句话（也有一说13句，看断句情况不同），wiki上本有三个版本：Newton’s translation、Theatrum Chemicum（一本炼金术纲要）、Latin Text（拉丁文版）

一本早期的拉丁文炼金术集《De Alchemia

》中翠玉录的记载

顺便附上英文版与中文翻译

This is true and remote from all cover of falsehood

这是真理，远离虚假之真理

Whatever is below is similar to that which is above. Through this the marvels of the work of one thing are procured and perfected.

要造出唯一之物的奇迹，须明白，那上界之物与下界相同，而下界之物也与上界无异

Also, as all things are made from one, by the [consideration] of one, so all things were made from this one, by conjunction.

唯一缔造万物，万物皆生于同一

The father of it is the sun, the mother the moon. The wind bore it in the womb. Its nurse is the earth, the mother of all perfection.

太阳是它的父亲，月亮是（它的）母亲，它在风的子宫里孕育，大地养育了它，所有完美之母

Its power is perfected. If it is turned into earth.

当它与大地融为一体，它拥有全能的力量

Separate the earth from the fire, the subtle and thin from the crude and [coarse], prudently, with modesty and wisdom.

它能将泥土从火中隔离，也能让精妙之物从粗物中呈现出来

This ascends from the earth into the sky and again descends from the sky to the earth, and receives the power and efficacy of things above and of things below.

它能从地面飞升到天空，然后，它还能再降落到地面，积聚上界和下界的所有力量。

By this means you will acquire the glory of the whole world,And so you will drive away all shadows and blindness.

由此你将获得全世界最卓绝的荣光，所有的阴暗都将从你身边消散

For this by its fortitude snatches the palm from all other fortitude and power. For it is able to penetrate and subdue everything subtle and everything crude and hard.

这是强大力量中的最强者，它能超越所有的精妙之物，也能渗透入所有坚固之体。

By this means the world was founded

世界被如此创造

And hence the marvelous conjunctions of it and admirable effects, since this is the way by which these marvels may be brought about.

按这一过程，从这惟一之物中产生了众多非凡的变化

And because of this they have called me Hermes Tristmegistus since I have the three parts of the wisdom and philosophy of the whole universe.My speech is finished which I have spoken concerning the solar work.

我之所以被称为三重伟大的赫尔墨斯，是因为我承担了全宇宙哲学与智慧的三重角色，关于太阳的工作，这就是我要说的全部。

（上面有一部分是我自己修改过的渣翻，有一部分为网络上大神的翻译）

关于翠玉录的起源，个人考虑和传说应该不一样，并非从埃及流传出的，而是某个后世人物（最可能是希腊人）写作的，传说中翠玉录是从法老赫尔墨斯的陵寝中发现的，然而历史上并没有这位法老，而且赫尔墨斯并非是埃及的神灵，公元前332年马其顿人统治埃及后将希腊人神灵中的赫尔墨斯（Hermes）、埃及神灵中的透特（Thoth）、罗马神灵中的墨丘利（Mercury）统一起来，据可考证历史，希腊人将赫尔墨斯也赋予了与透特一样的称谓——三重伟大（关于“三重伟大”的字样最早出现在公元前172年埃及的孟斐斯附近。在伊萨纳神庙里人们发现一段献给透特的咒文“伟大的，伟大的，伟大的透特”），这也是Hermes Trismegistus的由来，如果是埃及人所写，最后一句应该不会出现Hermes Trismegistus的字样。（当然不排除某个希腊人得到了来自埃及的原稿，将最后一些部分做了修改这种情况。）

最后放上我们的大炼金术师：翠玉录大人(～￣▽￣)～
