Space Marine Chaplains are the spiritual leaders of Space Marine Chapters.
星际战士牧师是星际战士战团的精神领袖。
Warrior-priests, they fight alongside their battle-brothers, chanting the Chapter's sacred battle creeds, and inspiring their brethren to greater feats of bravery. To enemies they appear as terrifying and sinister figures in black power armour and skull-visaged helmets.
战斗牧师，他们与他们的战斗兄弟并肩作战，吟唱本战团神圣的战斗信条，并激励他们的兄弟们取得更大的勇气。在敌人看来，他们穿着黑色动力盔甲和骷髅头盔，是可怕而险恶的人物。

Overview 概述
Each Chapter has its own unique cult, which is often thousands of years old. As these cults often predate the rise of the Ecclesiarchy, the Chapter cults are not simply facets of the common Imperial Cult. While the Ecclesiarchy and its lay followers worship the Emperor of Mankind as a deity, several Chapter cults regard him as merely a brilliant and inspirational man, though with scarcely less reverence. As in all things, this view of the Emperor's divinity, or lack thereof, varies from Chapter to Chapter. The chapter's own Primarch is also a major part of the Chapter's specific cult, revered as much as the Emperor.
每个战团都有自己独特的信仰，通常有数千年的历史。由于这些信仰往往早于国教的兴起，战团信仰不仅仅是普通帝国信仰的一个方面。虽然国教及其世俗追随者将人类帝皇视为神，但一些战团信仰认为他只是一个才华横溢、鼓舞人心的人，尽管他们的崇敬程度并不低。正如在所有事物中一样，这种对帝皇神性的看法，或者说缺乏这种看法，在每一战团中都有所不同。该战团自己的原体也是该战团特定信仰的重要组成部分，与帝皇一样受人尊敬。

A formal sign of entente between the Ecclesiarchy and the Space Marines is the rosarius, a holy symbol, taking the form of a necklace, amulet or brooch which often displays the Imperial Eagle or the Crux Terminatus, or other shapes to suit the particular devotional qualities of the Chapter concerned (for example, the Space Wolves and their wolf iconography). Gifted to Space Marine Chaplains by the Ecclesiarchy, this blessing represents the brotherhood of the Imperial Faith and formally marks the continuance of religious concord between the two groups. In practice, though, the link between the organisations remains rather tenuous.
国教和星际战士之间达成协议的正式标志是玫瑰念珠，这是一种神圣的象征，以项链、护身符或胸针的形式出现，通常显示帝国天鹰或终结者十字章，或其他形状，以适应相关战团的特定忠诚品质（例如，太空野狼及其野狼图像）。这一祝福由国教赠送给星际战士牧师，代表了帝国信仰的兄弟情谊，正式标志着两个群体之间宗教和谐的延续。然而，在现实中，这些组织之间的联系仍然相当薄弱。
History 历史
During the Great Crusade, the Emperor specifically outlawed religious worship of any kind, but several Space Marine Legions still employed spiritual advisors of some kind. The first known Space Marines who bore a resemblance to Chaplains were members of the XVIIth Legion, known as the Imperial Heralds. The Legion's 'heralds' wore black armour with a skull-faced helmet and a winged mace and delivered the Emperor's ultimatum to new worlds: submission or destruction. After the Primarch Lorgar joined the XVIIth, renaming them the Word Bearers, he created a role for spiritual advisors, referring to them as 'Chaplains', who were assigned to minister to their brothers' psychological needs. Like the heralds, these Chaplains carried a skull-faced helmet and a winged mace but initially wore the same colours as other Word Bearer Legionaries. They later repainted their armour black in remembrance of the ashes of Monarchia.
在大远征期间，帝皇明确禁止任何形式的宗教崇拜，但一些星际战士军团仍然使用了某种精神顾问。第一批与牧师相似的星际战士是第十七军团的成员，被称为帝国先驱。军团的“使者”身穿黑色盔甲，戴着骷髅头盔和带翼权杖，向新世界发出帝皇的最后通牒：要么屈服，要么毁灭。原体珞珈加入第十七军团后，将他们重新命名为“怀言者”，他为精神顾问创造了一个角色，称他们为“牧师”，他们被指派为满足兄弟们的心理需求的牧师。与先驱一样，这些牧师戴着骷髅头盔和带翅膀的权杖，但最初穿着与其他怀言者军团士兵相同的颜色。他们后来将盔甲重新漆成黑色，以纪念摩纳齐亚的毁灭。

Similar positions also existed in other Legions, such as the Blood Angels Wardens, who served as the watchmen of the Blood Angels, serving as mentors and guides for the younger members of the Blood Angels, but also charged with upholding the laws of the IX Legion. These duties were varied, from offering a Captain advice on tactical doctrine, to leading a ceremony of remembrance for fallen Space Marines. Wardens also wore all-black armour and carried the Crozius Arcanum as a weapon. The Salamanders also had a body of chosen Legionaries who carried out the direct promulgation of the doctrines of Vulkan, shaped by the culture of Nocturne, called the 'Voices of Fire'. The Iron Hands' role of Iron Father, which combines the position of Chaplain and Techmarine was brought into the legion from an order of engineer-mystics who maintained Dark Age of Technology machinery on Medusa, following the re-discovery of Ferrus Manus.
其他军团也有类似的职位，如圣血天使监察者，他们担任圣血天使的守望者，为圣血天使的年轻成员担任导师和向导，但也负责维护第九军团的法律。这些职责各不相同，从为连长提供战术理论建议，到为阵亡的星际战士主持纪念仪式。监察者还穿着全黑盔甲，并携带牧师权杖作为武器。火蜥蜴也有一种受选的军团士兵，他们直接传播了由夜曲星的文化塑造的沃坎教义，称为“火之声”。钢铁之手的铁父，结合了牧师和技术军士的角色，是在马努斯回归之后，从维护美杜莎黑暗技术时代机器的隐秘工匠的命令中被带入军团的。
After the Decree of Nikaea, Lorgar offered his Chaplains' services to the other Legions. These Chaplains travelled among the Legions to counsel former Librarians who felt uncomfortable at the loss of their psychic role, and ease them back into duty as ordinary Battle-Brothers. Many Primarchs accepted Lorgar's offer, the use of Chaplains spread to legions such as the Dark Angels, Emperor's Children, World Eaters, and the Death Guard . Other Primarchs such as Sanguinius declined, the duties being given to the already existing Wardens.
在尼凯亚法令颁布后，珞珈将他的牧师服务提供给其他军团。这些牧师在军团中旅行，为那些对失去灵能者地位而感到不舒服的前智库提供咨询，并让他们重新承担起普通战斗兄弟的职责。许多原体接受了珞珈的提议，牧师的使用传播到了黑暗天使、帝皇之子、吞世者和死亡守卫等军团。其他原体，如圣吉列斯拒绝了，将职责交给了现有的监察者。

Following the Horus Heresy, the position of Chaplain continued in both Loyalist and Traitor Legions, those in the Traitor Legions becoming known as Dark Apostles.
荷鲁斯叛乱之后，牧师的职位在忠诚派和叛徒军团中都继续存在，叛徒军团中的牧师被称为黑暗使徒。
Responsibilities within a Chapter 战团内职责
Chaplains are the most well-versed in the knowledge of the Chapter's cult. This knowledge is put to practical use as Chaplains are responsible for the spiritual health, discipline, and faith of the chapter brethren. The bond between Marines and their Chaplains is a strong one. Chaplains are present in a Marine's life from the moment he is chosen as a neophyte, presiding over their indoctrination as they progress toward becoming full battle-brothers.
牧师们最熟悉战团的信仰知识。这一知识被付诸实践，因为牧师负责本战团兄弟的精神健康、纪律和信仰。星际战士和他们的牧师之间的关系很牢固。从一名星际战士被选为新进者的那一刻起，牧师就出现在他的生活中，在他们走向成为正式战斗兄弟的过程中主持对他们的教导。
Terminator Chaplain 终结者牧师
Within a Chapter's fortress-monastery is the Reclusiam, a large chamber devoted to cult activities, and where the Chapter's holy relics and, sometimes, the body of its Primarch are housed. The Chaplains lead their sermons from here, and rouse the Marines in their love of the Emperor. The Battle Barges and ships of the Chapter's fleet also include huge cathedrals in the heart of each ship, allowing the Space Marines to pray while away from the fortress. Chaplains always lead the Space Marines in prayer, but a Chaplain is not always needed for a Marine to pray.
在战团的堡垒修道院内是隐修会，这是一个专门用于信仰活动的大房间，战团的圣物，有时还有其原体的尸体都存放在这里。牧师们从这里开始布道，唤醒星际战士对帝皇的热爱。战斗驳船和战团舰队的船只在每艘船的中心还包括巨大的教堂，让星际战士在远离堡垒时祈祷。牧师总是带领星际战士祈祷，但星际战士并不总是需要牧师来祈祷。
Each Space Marine Company has its own Chaplain. Chaplains begin their careers as Judicars within the Chapter. At the headquarters level of the Chapter organization are Chaplains holding the ranks of Reclusiarch and Master of Sanctity, whose responsibilities extend to the Chapter as a whole.
每个星际战士战团都有自己的牧师。牧师在战团内开始了他们的职业生涯，担任审判者。在战团组织的总部一级，有担任隐修长和圣洁大师的牧师，他们的职责延伸到整个战团。
Wargear 战备
The power armour suits worn by Chaplains are considered holy in themselves. Often they are hundreds, if not thousands, of years old. A Chaplain's armour is highly stylised and archaic in appearance. Black is the colour associated with Chaplains, and most or all of their armour is painted in this colour, but not all. Know variation are fully silver.
牧师所穿的动力盔甲本身就被认为是神圣的。它们通常有数百年的历史，如果不是数千年的话。牧师的盔甲在外观上非常风格化和古老。黑色是与牧师相关的颜色，他们的大部分或全部盔甲都涂成这种颜色，但不是全部。已知变体是完全银色的。
Symbols such as skulls and Imperial eagles commonly adorn the armour, but Chapter-specific symbols are also used. The face plate or the entire helmet is traditionally skull-shaped. Skulls are also repeated throughout a Chaplain's armour - adorning an entire shoulder plate, the upper chest armour or the groin guard. One area of the armour, such as a shoulder guard, is always left in the Chapter colours, displaying the Chapter symbol. Part of the Chaplain's formal regalia is the Crozius Arcanum, the Chaplain's staff of office. Used in chapter ceremonies and worship, many Chaplains take them into battle, symbolizing that battle is the highest ritual of the Chapter. The crozius is usually topped with an Imperial Eagle or winged skull. It incorporates a potent energy field, allowing it to be used as a weapon; one that will punch through armour easily, showing the power of faith.
骷髅和帝国天鹰等符号通常装饰盔甲，但也会使用特定战团的符号。面罩或整个头盔传统上是头骨形状的。骷髅也在牧师的盔甲上重复出现，装饰着整个肩甲、上胸甲或腹甲。盔甲的一个区域，如肩甲，始终保留为战团颜色，显示战团符号。牧师正式的特别物品的一部分是牧师权杖，牧师的职务权杖。在战团仪式和信仰中，许多牧师会带他们参加战斗，象征着战斗是战团的最高仪式。权杖通常顶部有帝国天鹰或带翅膀的头骨。它包含一个强大的能量力场，使其可以用作武器；一个能轻易穿透盔甲的权杖，展现信仰的力量。
In many Chapters, once a Space Marine is inducted into the Chaplaincy, they are forbidden to remove their helmets while in the presence of those who are not of their order.
在许多战团中，一旦一名星际战士被任命为牧师，他们就被禁止在不属于他们的人面前摘下头盔。
The Rosarius that Chaplains wear around their neck incorporates a powerful force field generator, offering the bearer protection against weapons that even power armour would offer no hope of survival against. In light of this, the rosarius is sometimes referred to as a Chaplain's "soul armour."
牧师们戴在脖子上的玫瑰念珠包含一个强大的力场发生器，为持有者提供保护，使其免受即使是动力盔甲也无法生存的武器的伤害。有鉴于此，玫瑰念珠有时被称为牧师的“灵魂盔甲”
Chapter Variations 战团变体
As each chapter has its own distinct cult, the specific roles of Chaplains can vary from Chapter to Chapter. The most notable differences in the roles of Chaplains of different Chapters are as follows:
由于每一战团都有自己独特的信仰，牧师的具体角色可能因战团而异。不同战团牧师角色的最显著差异如下：
Blood Angels 圣血天使
The Chaplains of the Blood Angels chapter constantly watch their brothers for the onset of the Black Rage. Only the Chaplains can communicate successfully with those unfortunates who have succumbed to the Rage and so lead them in battle as the Death Company, fearsome warriors whose demise is assured. They also care for those who completely succumb to the Red Thirst, and are rumoured to look after those who are locked away on their homeworld, Baal. The Blood Angels' chaplains also share responsibility for their battle-brothers' spiritual health with the chapter's apothecaries, known as Sanguinary Priests The Death Company of the Blood Angels maintains its own special variant of the Chaplain, the Death Company Chaplain. These officers provide sanity amidst the carnage and rage of the Death Company.
圣血天使战团的牧师不断地看着他们的兄弟们爆发黑怒。只有牧师才能成功地与那些屈服于愤怒的不幸者沟通，并带领他们作为死亡连投入战斗，作为死亡已成定局的可怕战士。他们还照顾那些完全屈服于血渴的人，据传他们会照顾那些被锁在家乡巴尔的人。圣血天使的牧师也与该战团的药剂师（被称为圣血祭司）共同负责他们的战斗兄弟的精神健康。圣血天使的死亡连保留了自己特殊的牧师变体，即死亡连牧师。这些军官在死亡连的屠杀和愤怒中提供了理智。
Dark Angels 黑暗天使
Although the Dark Angels have normal Chaplains, above the company level are specialised Chaplains known as Interrogator-Chaplains, who form part of the chapter's Inner Circle. Their primary task is hunting down the Fallen, their damned brethren, and forcing them to repent, which usually involves torture.
虽然黑暗天使有普通的牧师，但在连队层面之上是被称为审讯牧师的专业牧师，他们是该战团内环的一部分。他们的主要任务是追捕堕天使，他们该死的兄弟，并强迫他们悔改，这通常涉及酷刑。
This highly confidential mission makes the Interrogator-Chaplains a secretive and somewhat sinister group. Once a member of the Fallen has been captured, it is the duty of the Interrogator-Chaplains to force the prisoner to confess and repent. Those who repent are spared further torture and receive a painless death. Those who hold to their innocence are exorcised of their sins through excruciation and death.
这项高度机密的任务使审讯牧师成为一个秘密的、有点不详的团体。一旦堕天使的成员被捕，审讯牧师有责任强迫囚犯认罪并悔改。那些悔改的人可以免受进一步的折磨，并获得无痛的死亡。那些坚持自己清白的人将通过折磨和死亡来驱除罪恶。
Emperor's Spears 帝皇之矛
The Emperor's Spears group together their Chaplains, Librarians, Techmarines and Apothecaries under the term Druids. These warrior-priests each stand ready to harvest the gene-seed of fallen brothers, as well as performing their own duties based on their specialist skills and esoteric abilities.
帝皇之矛将他们的牧师、智库、技术军事和药剂师统称为德鲁伊。这些战斗牧师随时准备收获阵亡兄弟的基因种子，并根据他们的专业技能和深奥能力履行自己的职责。
Executioners 处刑者
The Executioners assign three chaplains, instead of just one, to each company. Each trio of Chaplains is known as the Death Speakers and are charged with maintaining the roll of the dead, and ensuring order within the chapter.
处刑者为每个连队指派三名牧师，而不是一名。这三位牧师都被称为述死者，负责维护死亡名单，并确保战团内的秩序。
Iron Hands 钢铁之手
The Iron Hands use the specialised rank of Iron Father, combining the roles of Chaplain and Techmarine. Iron Fathers hold a particular reverence for the mechanical, and are rumoured to spend time on Mars as guests of the Adeptus Mechanicus during their training. It is said that they venerate the Machine God aspect of the Emperor ahead of any other version, which does not please the Ecclesiarchy at all. Due to this animosity between the Iron Hands and the Ecclesiarchy, the Iron Fathers are not issued with a rosarius and they must instead manufacture their own versions of the protective holy symbol.
钢铁之手使用被称为铁父的特殊级别，结合了牧师和技术军士的角色。铁父们对机械教怀有特别的敬意，据传他们在训练期间会作为机械教的客人在火星上度过一段时间。据说他们比其他任何战团都更崇拜帝皇的万机之神一侧，这根本不符合国教的要求。由于钢铁之手和国教之间的这种敌意，铁父们没有获得玫瑰念珠，他们必须制造自己版本的保护性神圣符号。
Space Wolves 太空野狼
Within the Space Wolves, the Wolf Priests combine the roles of Chaplain and Apothecary. They minister to both the spiritual and physical well-being of their brethren, and are completely responsible for all parts of the recruitment and indoctrination of new Space Wolves. As a result, individual Wolf Priests can regularly be seen traveling across the surface of Fenris, watching the proud natives for those who show the potential to become one of the Imperium's mightiest warriors.
在太空野狼中，狼牧师结合了牧师和药剂师的角色。他们为兄弟们的精神和身体健康服务，并对招募和灌输新的太空野狼的所有部分负全部责任。因此，经常可以看到个别的狼牧师在芬里斯表面旅行，看着骄傲的当地人寻找那些有潜力成为帝国最强大战士之一的人。
Grey Knights 灰骑士
Grey Knights Chaplains are given the duty of ensuring the mental fortitude of the Chapter's warriors against all things Daemonic. They are also focuses of the Emperor's anti-daemonic might.
灰骑士牧师的职责是确保本战团战士的精神坚韧，对抗一切恶魔。他们也是帝皇反恶魔力量的焦点。
Primaris Chaplains 原铸牧师
The new generation of Space Marine, Primaris Space Marines, also utilize the rank of Chaplain. Besides their standard Crozius, Primaris Chaplains are frequently seen wielding an Absolvor Bolt Pistol.
新一代的星际战士，原铸星际战士也使用牧师的军衔。除了他们标准的牧师权杖外，原铸牧师还经常挥舞着赦免者爆矢手枪。
