Paradise Regained

I, who erewhile the happy Garden sung By one man’s disobedience lost, now sing Recovered Paradise to all mankind, By one man’s firm obedience fully tried Through all temptation, and the Tempter foiled In all his wiles, defeated and repulsed, And Eden raised in the waste Wilderness.

我曾歌颂那幸福的花园，因一个人的不服从而失落，现在我要歌唱，所有人类恢复的天堂，因一个人坚定的顺从而彻底经受了考验，战胜了诱惑者，在他所有的诡计中被击败、击退，荒野中重建了伊甸园。

Now had the great Proclaimer, with a voice More awful than the sound of trumpet, cried Repentance, and Heaven’s kingdom nigh at hand To all baptized.

那位伟大的宣告者，声音比号角还要庄严，高声宣扬悔改，天国近在咫尺，对所有受洗者而言。
