The Angel in the House — Page 11

English → Vi Book I. Level 7/10

'Ah, whence to-day's so sweet release,

'Ôi, từ đâu mà hôm nay được giải thoát ngọt ngào đến vậy,

This clearance light of all my care,

Ánh sáng xóa tan mọi nỗi lo âu của ta,

This conscience free, this fertile peace,

Tâm trí thanh thản, nền hòa bình phong nhiêu này,

These softly folded wings of prayer,

Những cánh tay cầu nguyện khẽ khàng gấp lại,

'This calm and more than conquering love,

'Tình yêu bình lặng và hơn cả chinh phục này,

With which nought evil dares to cope,

Mà chẳng có điều ác nào dám đương đầu,

This joy that lifts no glance above,

Niềm vui này không ngước mắt nhìn lên trên,

For faith too sure, too sweet for hope?

Vì niềm tin quá vững chắc, quá ngọt ngào để còn hy vọng?

'O, happy time, too happy change,

'Ôi, thời khắc hạnh phúc, sự đổi thay quá hạnh phúc,

It will not live, though fondly nurst!

Nó sẽ không tồn tại mãi, dù được trân trọng nâng niu!

Full soon the sun will seem as strange

Chẳng bao lâu mặt trời sẽ trở nên xa lạ

As now the cloud which seems dispersed.'

Như đám mây hiện đang dường như đã tan biến.'

She from a rose-tree shook the blight;

Nàng rũ bỏ sự tàn héo khỏi cây hoa hồng;

And well she knew that I knew well

Và nàng hiểu rõ rằng ta cũng hiểu rõ

Her grace with silence to requite;

Cách đáp lại ân huệ của nàng bằng sự im lặng;

And, answering now the luncheon bell,

Và, giờ đây khi tiếng chuông bữa trưa vang lên,

I laugh'd at Mildred's laugh, which made

Ta cười theo tiếng cười của Mildred, tiếng cười ấy đã khiến

All melancholy wrong, its mood

Mọi nỗi sầu u ám trở nên sai lầm, tâm trạng ấy

Such sweet self-confidence display'd,

Thể hiện sự tự tin ngọt ngào đến vậy,

So glad a sense of present good.

Một cảm giác vui mừng về điều tốt đẹp hiện tại.

I laugh'd and sigh'd: for I confess

Ta cười và thở dài: vì ta thú nhận

I never went to Ball, or Fête,

Ta chưa bao giờ đến Vũ hội, hay Lễ hội,

Or Show, but in pursuit express

Hay Triển lãm, mà không phải với mục đích rõ ràng là tìm kiếm

Of my predestinated mate;

Người bạn đời được định sẵn của ta;

And thus to me, who had in sight

Và vì vậy đối với ta, người đang nhắm đến

The happy chance upon the cards,

Cơ may hạnh phúc đang hiện ra trước mắt,

Each beauty blossom'd in the light

Mỗi vẻ đẹp nở rộ trong ánh sáng

Of tender personal regards;

Của những tình cảm cá nhân dịu dàng;

And, in the records of my breast,

Và, trong những ký ức của lòng ta,

Red-letter'd, eminently fair,

Được đánh dấu son, nổi bật xinh đẹp,

Stood sixteen, who, beyond the rest,

Có mười sáu người, hơn tất cả những người còn lại,

By turns till then had been my care:

Lần lượt cho đến lúc đó đã là mối quan tâm của ta:

At Berlin three, one at St.

Ở Berlin ba người, một người ở Thánh.
