Ministorum Priests are the Preachers, Missionaries, Confessors, Deacons, Pontifices, Drill Abbots, and other clergy members of the Ecclesiarchy, often dispatched to accompany the Imperial Guard during campaigns and battles.

国教牧师是传教士、传道士、告解者、助祭、大祭司、训练教长和国教的其他神职人员，经常被派往在战役和战斗中陪同帝国卫队。

Adeptus Ministorum Priest 国教修会牧师

Overview 概述

With their oratory they affirm the faith and resolve of the troops. Even in the midst of battle they preach the righteousness of the Emperor to the troops, instilling in them a ferocious resolve to destroy the enemy in close combat. Their fiery speeches can stir a populace to rebelling against a heretic lord or persuade an army to lay down its arms and submit to the mercy of the Emperor (which is inevitably quick and bloody).

他们以雄辩的言辞肯定了部队的信念和决心。即使在战斗中，他们也向军队宣扬帝皇的正义，灌输他们在近战中摧毁敌人的凶猛决心。他们激烈的演讲可以激起民众反抗异端领主，或者说服军队放下武器，服从帝皇的怜悯（这不可避免地是快速而血腥的）。

Priests favour close combat over shooting, and through their inspiring exhortations, instill this ideal into the Guardsmen following them. Such is their fury that priest-led squads will always charge any enemy within reach, making priests as ferocious as Commissars when it comes to motivating men, although they use inspiration rather than fear.

牧师们更喜欢近身格斗而不是射击，并通过他们鼓舞人心的劝诫，将这一理想灌输给跟随他们的卫兵。这就是他们的愤怒，牧师领导的小队总是会向任何触手可及的敌人发起攻击，在激励人们方面，牧师就像政委一样凶猛，尽管他们使用的是鼓舞而不是恐惧。

Equipment 装备

Traditionally a priest might be armed with an Eviscerator, a massive, two-handed chainsword capable of inflicting horrific injuries on living creatures, slicing through walls and even destroying vehicles. This overtly violent melee weapon makes the priest an even more powerful individual in close combat.

传统上，牧师可能会配备一把开膛者，这是一把巨大的双手链锯剑，能够对生物造成可怕的伤害，刺穿墙壁，甚至摧毁载具。这种明显暴力的近战武器使牧师在近战中变得更加强大。

Imperial Preacher 帝国传教士

Priests often wear a rosarius, a potent device commonly used throughout the Adeptus Ministorum as it has a religious aspect as well as a protective one in that when the field is impacted it gives off a great blast of white light, leading some to believe that the Emperor himself is protecting the priest. A priest is often festooned with purity seals, and sometimes bears a holy relic so that all Emperor-fearing troops looking upon the image will be heartened at the sight.

牧师经常佩戴玫瑰念珠，这是一种在整个国教修会中常用的强大装置，因为它具有宗教性和保护性，当立场受到冲击时，它会发出巨大的白光，导致一些人相信帝皇本人正在保护牧师。牧师通常会佩戴纯洁印记，有时还会携带圣物，这样所有敬畏帝皇的士兵看到这幅画面都会感到振奋。

Inquisition 审判庭

Inquisitors often see it useful for an Ecclesiarchal clergy member to form part of his retinue. Ecclesiarchy priests attached to a retinue are referred to as Hierophants.

审判官经常认为，国教神职人员成为他的随从是有用的。属于随从的国教牧师被称为圣职者。

Notes 注释

The Ciaphas Cain (Novel Series) refers to the Ecclesiarchy representatives attached to the Imperial Guard as "Chaplains". These should not be confused with the Space Marine rank of that name.

凯法斯·凯恩（小说系列）将隶属于帝国卫队的国教代表称为“牧师”。这些不应该与这个名字的星际战士军衔混淆。
