"Yun-Ne'Shel the Modeler was invoked by shapers, the members of the bioengineering caste."
―Voren Na'al
“塑造神云-内舍尔被塑造者,生物工程种姓的成员所崇拜”
——沃伦•奈尔
Yun-Ne'Shel, the Modeler or She-Who-Shapes, was the Goddess of Life among the Yuuzhan Vong.
云-内舍尔,塑造神或者说塑造的她,是遇战疯人的生命女神。
Legend
"Yun-Yuuzhan shaped the universe from his own body. In the days following his great shaping, he was weak, and in that time Yun-Harla tricked him into giving her some of those secrets. These she passed to her handmaiden, Yun-Ne'Shel, and thence to me. I am the gateway of that knowledge."
―Supreme Overlord Shimrra
“云-遇战用自己的身体塑造了宇宙,在他的伟大创造之后的日子里,,他很虚弱,云-哈拉从他这里骗到了那些秘密。这些秘密又传给了她的侍女云-内舍尔,旋即传到我这里。(所以)我就是通向知识的大门。”
——最高霸主希姆拉
As with all of the lesser Yuuzhan Vong gods, Yun-Ne'Shel was created by Yun-Yuuzhan, the chief deity of the Yuuzhan Vong pantheon. Yun-Yuuzhan vowed to Yun-Ne'Shel and her divine compatriots that they would ascend as he had, once mortal beings had reached perfection of their own and taken the place of the lesser gods.
与其他遇战疯次阶神一样,云-内舍尔被遇战疯万神殿当中的最高神云-遇战创造。云-遇战曾经向云-内舍尔和她的神圣同胞起誓:一旦芸芸众生尽善尽美并取代其他次阶神之时,他们会像他一样提升。
The legend went that after Yun-Yuuzhan's creation of the universe, however he was tired and weary from his labors. Approached by one of the lesser deities, Yun-Harla, the Goddess of Trickery, Yun-Yuuzhan was tricked into revealing the secrets of his creation. Yun-Ne'Shel, as the handmaiden of Yun-Harla, was then granted the information.[With it, Yun-Ne'Shel possessed the power to model and shape life, earning her the sobriquet of the Modeler. In other interpretations, Yun-Ne'Shel was granted the tools to model life directly by Yun-Yuuzhan.
传说云-遇战在创造宇宙之后感到疲劳并厌倦了他的工作。次阶神之一,诡计女神云-哈拉接近他,诱骗他泄露了创造万物的秘密。之后,云-哈拉的侍女,云-内舍尔获得了这些知识。通过它,她拥有了塑造生命的能量。因此博得了“塑造者”这个称号。在另一个版本的故事中,云-内舍尔则直接从云-遇战那里获得了塑造生命的工具。
Despite the differing interpretations on how Yun-Ne'Shel received the secrets of creation, Yun-Ne'Shel was subsequently seen as the deity responsible for creating the basic appearances of all living beings and arbitrating their life cycles. Yun-Ne'Shel hoped to build a paradisal existence, peaceful and harmonious, with her new tools. Her vision was shattered by Yun-Yammka and Yun-Harla, the Twin Gods and the deities of war and trickery respectively, who introduced pain and suffering into the Modeler's paradise. Rather than Yuuzhan Vong legends crediting Yun-Ne'Shel as a visionary, however, most condemned the hermaphroditic deity for her naivety and foolishness—the beings she had modeled were supposed to compete for the rank of godhood, which Yuuzhan Vong believed could only be achieved through the pain, treachery and suffering invited into Yun-Ne'Shel's paradise by the Twin Gods.
尽管关于云-内舍尔怎么掌握创造的秘诀有不同版本的解释,但此后云-内舍尔就被视为以塑造众生基本相貌和调处他们生命循环为己任的神祗。云-内舍尔试图用她的新工具来创造一个宁静,和谐的极乐世界。但是把痛苦和灾难引进到她的伊甸园的双子神,战神云-亚姆卡和诡计女神云-哈拉把她的梦想彻底摧毁了。遇战疯神话认为她是个空想家,然而更多的是在谴责雌雄同体神的幼稚和愚蠢——她所塑造的众生认为只能通过双子神引入这个伊甸园的痛苦,狡诈和灾难来竞争神的身份。
Yun-Ne'Shel was often portrayed as a close ally of the Lovers, Yun-Txiin and Yun-Q'aah, the god and goddess of love and intimacy, who were in turn rivals of the Twin Gods who had introduced pain and suffering into the Modeler's paradise. She had a rapport with Yun-Shuno, the patron of the downtrodden and the hopeless, who could ask Yun-Ne'Shel to look kindly upon her worshipers.
云-内舍尔经常被描绘为爱神云-特克辛和云-克阿的亲密盟友,与把痛苦与灾难引进“伊甸园”的双子神互为对立面的那对恋人。云-内舍尔与被压迫者和绝望者的保护神,那个请求她仁慈地看待自己的信徒的宽恕神云-舒诺关系融洽。
When the Yuuzhan Vong launched their invasion of another galaxy in 25 ABY, following millennia traveling the intergalactic void, a trait arose among the species of associating characteristics of several of their deities with those of Jedi who defended the galaxy. Onimi, a shunned Shamed One who used the Force to control Supreme Overlord Shimrra, the leader of the Yuuzhan Vong, began to view certain Jedi as the incarnations of the gods, whom he believed were conspiring against him. Tahiri Veila, a young Jedi girl who had been subjected to Yuuzhan Vong genetic experimentation, was believed by Onimi to be the living incarnation of Yun-Ne'Shel, both due to her past and the fact he could sense her in the Force.
当遇战疯人在雅文战役25年之后开始发动对另一个银河系的入侵时,随着长达几千年之久的星际旅行宣告终结,在那些有着相关联特征的神和那些保卫银河系的绝地之间产生了一种特征。奥尼米,那个用原力操纵遇战疯人的领导人最高霸主希姆拉的耻人,作为神的化身,开始观察那些合谋反对他的绝地武士们。塔西莉•维拉,一个受到遇战疯人生物实验的年轻女绝地相信奥尼米就是云-内舍尔的在世化身,因为他既能在过去,也能在事实上用原力感觉到她的存在。
Characteristics and role
"[The Jedi] revere life, as does Yun-Ne'Shel, the Modeler."
―Nom Anor, in his guise as the Prophet Yu'shaa
特征与角色
[绝地]敬畏生命,塑造者云-内舍尔也一样。
——农•阿诺,在他的先知遇沙的伪装下
Yun-Ne'Shel was a hermaphroditic Yuuzhan Vong deity usually recognized as being of the female form. Young, benevolent and kind, she was also deemed foolish and naive by sections of Yuuzhan Vong society. The goddess of creativity and childbirth, Yun-Ne'Shel presided over the gentler aspects of Yuuzhan Vong life, although the organisms she had shaped were often used as weapons by the Yuuzhan Vong in their warlike existence. Due to her role as the deity responsible for the outward appearance of living beings, Yun-Ne'Shel played a role in the lives of the Shamed Ones, those Yuuzhan Vong whose bodies had rejected the implants that came with rank and who were shunned by society. Shamed Ones would often pray to their patron Yun-Shuno, who was in legend was able to approach the Modeler and beseech her to ameliorate the lives of the more worthy Shamed Ones.
云-内舍尔是一位雌雄同体的遇战疯神祗,通常被认为拥有女性外形。年轻,乐善好施而且温和,同时她也被遇战疯社会的某部分人看作是愚蠢而天真的神。创造与分娩女神,云-内舍尔掌管提升和遇战疯人生命中更温和的部分,虽然她所塑造的生物体往往被遇战疯人在他们好战的生活中用作武器。由于她身为神所扮演的角色负责生命的外在形态,云-内舍尔在耻人的生活中扮演着重要的角色,那些拥有军衔的身体对移植产生排异反应的遇战疯人,以及被社会所抛弃的人。耻人常常向他们的保护者云-舒诺祈祷,那位在传说中拥有靠近塑造者并乞求她改善那些更有价值的耻人的生活的神。
Yuuzhan Vong statuary and art differed in its portrayal of the gods depending on the domain producing the work, although Yun-Ne'Shel was always depicted in such mediums with infants, agricultural implements, gentle beasts and artisan tools.During the Yuuzhan Vong War, a heretical movement arose among the Shamed Ones, who began venerating the Jedi. The movement's leader, the Prophet Yu'shaa, associated Yun-Ne'Shel with the Jedi Order, due to the fact that both the goddess and the Jedi revered life.
遇战疯人在雕塑和绘画上对神的描绘的差别取决于制作这件艺术品的人所从事的工作,虽然云-内舍尔常常被以诸如婴儿,农业用具,温和的野兽和工匠的工具之类的形式表现出来.在遇战疯战争期间,耻人中出现了一种异端行为,他们开始崇拜绝地.这种行为的领导者,先知遇沙,把云-内舍尔与绝地教团联系起来,因为女神与绝地都尊重生命的事实.
Veneration and worship
崇敬与信仰
Yuuzhan Vong
遇战疯人
"Even now I can see the glow of the divine in you, Yun-Harla. As Yun-Yammka glows in the Jeedai called Skywalker; Yun Shuno in the Jeedai called Jacen; Yun-Ne'Shel in the Jedi called Tahiri…"
―Onimi
“直到现在我都能看到你体内神的光芒,云-哈拉.就像云-亚姆卡的光芒在那个名叫天行者的杰代体内,云-舒诺的光芒在那个名叫杰森的杰代体内,云-内舍尔的光芒在那个名叫塔西里的绝地体内闪耀一样……”
——奥尼米
Yun-Ne'Shel differed markedly from other Yuuzhan Vong gods in that she did not require sacrifices from those who sought her aid. Instead, the Modeler would observe the actions of those who were in need of her help and respond accordingly. Priests of Yun-Ne'Shel existed, as they did with all Yuuzhan Vong gods, though they were often forced to recognize that the idealism of the goddess had been foolish and futile. Almost any female Yuuzhan Vong who was impregnated in society would beseech Yun-Ne'Shel, as the goddess of childbirth, for a healthy offspring and a sound pregnancy.The Modeler's priests would, on payment from the supplicant, assist in childbirth.
云-内舍尔与其他遇战疯神祗的重大区别在于他不要求那些寻求她帮助的人牺牲。与之相反,塑造者会观察那些需要她帮助的人的行为并据此作出回应。遇战疯人设有云-内舍尔的祭司,就像他们为所有遇战疯神祗做的一样,虽然这些祭司常常被迫承认女神的理想主义是愚蠢而无用的。遇战疯社会中几乎所有的怀孕的女性都会向云-内舍尔,作为分娩女神的她,祈求一个健康的后代和一次平安的妊娠。作为对祈祷的回报,塑造者的祭司会在分娩中提供帮助。
Members of the intendant caste—those responsible for the bureaucratic and administrative aspects in Yuuzhan Vong society—often appealed to Yun-Ne'Shel when they needed creative inspiration during difficult tasks. Warriors, despite their impatience for Yun-Ne'Shel's misguided idealism, would sometimes invoke the Modeler's name when implementing new strategies and tactics. During the Yuuzhan Vong War, Warmaster Tsavong Lah of the warrior caste brought together an armada to crush the New Republic presence at Ebaq 9. Each battle group of his armada was named after a Yuuzhan Vong deity; only Yun-Shuno, Yun-Lingni and Yun-Ne'Shel were not honored in this manner.
管理者种姓的成员——那些负责遇战疯社会中官僚体系和管理部分的人——当他们在困难的任务中需要创造性的灵感时常常被云-内舍尔吸引。战士们,尽管他们对云-内舍尔那被误导的理想主义去嗤之以鼻,有时在他们使用新的策略和战术时也会向塑造者的名字祈福。遇战疯战争期间,战士种姓的战帅察疯•拉召集了一支舰队以击溃新共和国在艾巴克9号卫星上的势力。他的舰队中的每一个战斗群都以一位遇战疯神祗的名字命名,只有云-舒诺,云-林尼和云-内舍尔没有享受到这一荣誉。
Shaper caste
塑造者种姓
"As warriors take on the the outward aspects of Yun-Yammka, so we take on the inner qualities of Yun-Ne'Shel, she-who-shapes. The Vaa-tumor is her most ancient gift to us. Yun-Ne'Shel plucked a fragment of her own brain to make it. As it grows, it models our cells, changes our very thoughts, takes us nearer the mind and essence of Yun-Ne'Shel. The journey is painful. It is glorious. And, regrettably, we must return from it, excise her gift from our bodies. But though we return to a semblance of who we were, each time we are vessels for that pain and glory we are forever changed. Something of it remains in us."
―Master Shaper Mezhan Kwaad
“正如战士继承云-亚姆卡的外在部分,我们继承了云-内舍尔,那位塑造女神的内在部分。瓦阿之瘤是她留给我们的最古老的礼物。云-内舍尔摘下了自己大脑的一小块来制作它。随着它的成长,瓦阿之瘤调整我们的细胞,改变我们的思维,使我们更接近云-内舍尔的思想和本质。这段旅程是痛苦的。同时它也是光荣的。然而,令人遗憾的,我们必须从那返回,从我们的身体中摘除她的礼物。但即使我们变回了原来的样子,我们中每一个成为那痛苦和荣耀的容器的人,都被永远的改变了。属于它的某些部分留在了我们体内。”
——塑造大师梅赞•克瓦德
Yun-Ne'Shel was worshiped primarily by the shaper caste—the caste responsible for creating and maintaining Yuuzhan Vong biotechnology—due to her role as the goddess of creation and design.
云-内舍尔主要被塑造者种姓崇拜——负责创造和维持遇战疯生物科技的种姓——因为她作为创新与设计女神的角色。
Those shapers deemed skilled and successful in their manipulation of Yun-Ne'Shel's gifts were said to have the eyes of the goddess upon them. Decades after the Yuuzhan Vong War, members of the shaper caste helped terraform worlds ruined by the invasion into verdant paradises alongside the Jedi Order. Master Shaper Nei Rin came to believe that the Jedi Master Kol Skywalker, with whom she worked alongside on the Ossus Project, as the initiative was named, was looked kindly upon by Yun-Ne'Shel.
那些塑造者认为他们对于云-内舍尔的礼物的灵巧而成功的操控是因为女神的眼睛在注视他们。遇战疯战争后的几十年间,塑造者种姓的许多成员与绝地教团一起帮助人们把在战争中被摧毁的家园改造成才、生机勃勃的天堂。塑造大师内•里恩开始相信绝地大师科尔•天行者,那个和她一起实施奥苏斯工程的,被如此命名的工程发起人,被云-内舍尔慈祥地注视着。 |
