The Second Garden
The Second Garden
아담이 첫 동산을 놋족속에게 저항 없이 넘겨주기로 결정했을 때, 그와 그 일행은 서쪽으로 갈 수 없었는데, 에덴족속에게는 해양 모험에 적합한 배가 없었기 때문이다. 북쪽으로도 갈 수 없었는데;북부 놋족속이 이미 에덴으로 진격해오고 있었다. 남쪽으로 가기를 두려워했으며;그 지역 언덕에는 호전적인 부족들이 들끓었다. 유일하게 열린 길은 동쪽이었고, 그래서 그들은 티그리스 강과 유프라테스 강 사이의, 당시에 살기 좋은 목초지를 향해 동쪽으로 떠났다. 그리고 뒤에 남아있던 많은 사람도 훗날 동쪽으로 여행하여, 계곡에 있는 아담족속의 새 보금자리에서 그들과 합류했다.
76:0.1 (847.1)
WHEN Adam elected to leave the first garden to the Nodites unopposed, he and his followers could not go west, for the Edenites had no boats suitable for such a marine adventure. They could not go north; the northern Nodites were already on the march toward Eden. They feared to go south; the hills of that region were infested with hostile tribes. The only way open was to the east, and so they journeyed eastward toward the then pleasant regions between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. And many of those who were left behind later journeyed eastward to join the Adamites in their new valley home.
76:0.2 (847.2)
Cain and Sansa were both born before the Adamic caravan had reached its destination between the rivers in Mesopotamia. Laotta, the mother of Sansa, perished at the birth of her daughter; Eve suffered much but survived, owing to superior strength. Eve took Sansa, the child of Laotta, to her bosom, and she was reared along with Cain. Sansa grew up to be a woman of great ability. She became the wife of Sargan, the chief of the northern blue races, and contributed to the advancement of the blue men of those times.
76:1.1 (847.3)
It required almost a full year for the caravan of Adam to reach the Euphrates River. Finding it in flood tide, they remained camped on the plains west of the stream almost six weeks before they made their way across to the land between the rivers which was to become the second garden.
76:1.2 (847.4)
When word had reached the dwellers in the land of the second garden that the king and high priest of the Garden of Eden was marching on them, they had fled in haste to the eastern mountains. Adam found all of the desired territory vacated when he arrived. And here in this new location Adam and his helpers set themselves to work to build new homes and establish a new center of culture and religion.
76:1.3 (847.5)
This site was known to Adam as one of the three original selections of the committee assigned to choose possible locations for the Garden proposed by Van and Amadon. The two rivers themselves were a good natural defense in those days, and a short way north of the second garden the Euphrates and Tigris came close together so that a defense wall extending fifty-six miles could be built for the protection of the territory to the south and between the rivers.
76:1.4 (847.6)
After getting settled in the new Eden, it became necessary to adopt crude methods of living; it seemed entirely true that the ground had been cursed. Nature was once again taking its course. Now were the Adamites compelled to wrest a living from unprepared soil and to cope with the realities of life in the face of the natural hostilities and incompatibilities of mortal existence. They found the first garden partially prepared for them, but the second had to be created by the labor of their own hands and in the “sweat of their faces.”
76:2.2 (848.2)
Now, in those days it was customary to make offerings to the priesthood of the things at hand. Herders would bring of their flocks, farmers of the fruits of the fields; and in accordance with this custom, Cain and Abel likewise made periodic offerings to the priests. The two boys had many times argued about the relative merits of their vocations, and Abel was not slow to note that preference was shown for his animal sacrifices. In vain did Cain appeal to the traditions of the first Eden, to the former preference for the fruits of the fields. But this Abel would not allow, and he taunted his older brother in his discomfiture.
첫 에덴 시절에, 동물을 희생제물로 바치는 관습을 없애려고 아담이 많은 노력을 기울였으며, 그래서 가인은 자신의 주장을 정당화할 수 있는 선례{先例}가 있었다. 하지만 두 번째 에덴에서 종교 생활을 조직하기는 무척 어려웠다. 아담은, 건축과 국방과 농업 등의 일과 관련된 수많은 세부 문제와 씨름하고 있었다. 영적으로 심히 침체됐으므로, 아담은 첫 동산에서 이런 분야에 종사했던 놋족속 출신 사람들에게, 경배와 교육을 조직하도록 일임했으며;집례{執禮}하는 놋족속 사제들은, 무척 짧은 기간에 아담-이전{以前} 시기의 기준과 통치체제로 돌아가고 있었다.
76:2.3 (848.3)
In the days of the first Eden, Adam had indeed sought to discourage the offering of animal sacrifice so that Cain had a justifiable precedent for his contentions. It was, however, difficult to organize the religious life of the second Eden. Adam was burdened with a thousand and one details associated with the work of building, defense, and agriculture. Being much depressed spiritually, he intrusted the organization of worship and education to those of Nodite extraction who had served in these capacities in the first garden; and in even so short a time the officiating Nodite priests were reverting to the standards and rulings of pre-Adamic times.
76:2.4 (848.4)
The two boys never got along well, and this matter of sacrifices further contributed to the growing hatred between them. Abel knew he was the son of both Adam and Eve and never failed to impress upon Cain that Adam was not his father. Cain was not pure violet as his father was of the Nodite race later admixed with the blue and the red man and with the aboriginal Andonic stock. And all of this, with Cain’s natural bellicose inheritance, caused him to nourish an ever-increasing hatred for his younger brother.
아벨의 행동을 관찰할 때, 환경과 교육이 성품 발달에 얼마나 중요한 요인인지 확인시켜준다. 아벨은 이상적 유전형질을 지녔고, 물려받은 기질이 그의 모든 성품 밑바닥에 있었지만;열악한 환경의 영향이, 이 훌륭한 기질을 실질적으로 상쇄해버렸다. 아벨은 특히 어린 시절의 좋지 않은 환경에 크게 영향 받았다. 그가 스물다섯이나 서른 살까지 살았다면, 아마 한결같이 다른 사람이 됐을 것인데;그의 훌륭한 유전형질이 그때 결국 드러났을 것이기 때문이다. 비천한 유전자의 성품 결함을 극복하는 데는 좋은 환경이 실제로 큰 공헌을 할 수 없는 반면, 나쁜 환경은, 적어도 생애에서 어린 시절에는, 뛰어난 유전형질을 아주 효과적으로 망칠 수 있다. 좋은 사회 환경과 적절한 교육은, 좋은 유전형질을 최대로 발휘시키기에 필수적인 토양과 상황이다.
76:2.6 (848.6)
The observation of Abel’s conduct establishes the value of environment and education as factors in character development. Abel had an ideal inheritance, and heredity lies at the bottom of all character; but the influence of an inferior environment virtually neutralized this magnificent inheritance. Abel, especially during his younger years, was greatly influenced by his unfavorable surroundings. He would have become an entirely different person had he lived to be twenty-five or thirty; his superb inheritance would then have shown itself. While a good environment cannot contribute much toward really overcoming the character handicaps of a base heredity, a bad environment can very effectively spoil an excellent inheritance, at least during the younger years of life. Good social environment and proper education are indispensable soil and atmosphere for getting the most out of a good inheritance.
가인은 그런 색다른 점에서 태만의 상징이었기 때문에, 메소포타미아에서 그의 삶은 전혀 행복하지 않았다. 동료들이 그에게 불친절하지는 않았으나, 그가 존재하는 것 자체에 그들이 무의식적으로 분개하고 있다는 것을, 그는 눈치 챌 수밖에 없었다. 그러나 가인은 어떤 부족 표시도 지니지 않았으므로, 우연히 만나는 첫 이웃 부족원에게 죽임 당할 수 있음을 알았다. 그는 두려움과 약간의 후회 때문에 회개하게 됐다. 가인에게는 섭리사가 내주한 적이 없었으며, 항상 가정의 규율에 도전적이었고, 아버지의 종교를 경멸했다. 그러나 그는 이제 어머니 이브를 찾아가서 영적 도움과 인도를 부탁했고, 정직하게 신의 도우심을 구했을 때, 섭리사가 그에게 내주하게 됐다. 그리고 내주하면서 밖을 내다보는 이 섭리사가, 명백하게 우월한 장점을 가인에게 부여했고, 이로 인해서 사람들은, 그를 큰 두려움의 대상이었던 아담의 부족 가운데 하나로 여기게 됐다.
76:2.8 (849.2)
Cain’s life in Mesopotamia had not been exactly happy since he was in such a peculiar way symbolic of the default. It was not that his associates were unkind to him, but he had not been unaware of their subconscious resentment of his presence. But Cain knew that, since he bore no tribal mark, he would be killed by the first neighboring tribesmen who might chance to meet him. Fear, and some remorse, led him to repent. Cain had never been indwelt by an Adjuster, had always been defiant of the family discipline and disdainful of his father’s religion. But he now went to Eve, his mother, and asked for spiritual help and guidance, and when he honestly sought divine assistance, an Adjuster indwelt him. And this Adjuster, dwelling within and looking out, gave Cain a distinct advantage of superiority which classed him with the greatly feared tribe of Adam.
76:2.9 (849.3)
And so Cain departed for the land of Nod, east of the second Eden. He became a great leader among one group of his father’s people and did, to a certain degree, fulfill the predictions of Serapatatia, for he did promote peace between this division of the Nodites and the Adamites throughout his lifetime. Cain married Remona, his distant cousin, and their first son, Enoch, became the head of the Elamite Nodites. And for hundreds of years the Elamites and the Adamites continued to be at peace.
76:3.1 (849.4)
As time passed in the second garden, the consequences of default became increasingly apparent. Adam and Eve greatly missed their former home of beauty and tranquillity as well as their children who had been deported to Edentia. It was indeed pathetic to observe this magnificent couple reduced to the status of the common flesh of the realm; but they bore their diminished estate with grace and fortitude.
아담은 지혜롭게도 자녀와 동역자들에게, 시민사회 경영과 교육 방법과 종교적 헌신에 대해서 훈련시키는 일에 대부분의 시간을 보냈다. 이런 예지력이 없었다면, 그가 죽은 뒤에 그곳이 아수라장으로 변했을 것이다. 실제로 일어난 바와 같이, 아담이 죽고 난 뒤에도, 그의 민족의 직무 수행은 별로 달라지지 않았다. 그러나 아담과 이브는 죽기 훨씬 전에, 에덴에서 영화로웠던 시절을 자녀와 추종자들이 점차 잊어가고 있음을 인식했다. 그리고 그들의 추종자 대다수가 에덴의 화려함을 잊어버린 것은 다행이었으며;저희는 비교적 불행한 환경에 대해서 그다지 불만을 품는 것 같지 않았다.
76:3.2 (849.5)
Adam wisely spent most of the time training his children and their associates in civil administration, educational methods, and religious devotions. Had it not been for this foresight, pandemonium would have broken loose upon his death. As it was, the death of Adam made little difference in the conduct of the affairs of his people. But long before Adam and Eve passed away, they recognized that their children and followers had gradually learned to forget the days of their glory in Eden. And it was better for the majority of their followers that they did forget the grandeur of Eden; they were not so likely to experience undue dissatisfaction with their less fortunate environment.
76:3.3 (849.6)
The civil rulers of the Adamites were derived hereditarily from the sons of the first garden. Adam’s first son, Adamson (Adam ben Adam), founded a secondary center of the violet race to the north of the second Eden. Adam’s second son, Eveson, became a masterly leader and administrator; he was the great helper of his father. Eveson lived not quite so long as Adam, and his eldest son, Jansad, became the successor of Adam as the head of the Adamite tribes.
76:3.4 (849.7)
The religious rulers, or priesthood, originated with Seth, the eldest surviving son of Adam and Eve born in the second garden. He was born one hundred and twenty-nine years after Adam’s arrival on Urantia. Seth became absorbed in the work of improving the spiritual status of his father’s people, becoming the head of the new priesthood of the second garden. His son, Enos, founded the new order of worship, and his grandson, Kenan, instituted the foreign missionary service to the surrounding tribes, near and far.
76:3.6 (850.2)
Adam’s caravan had carried the seeds and bulbs of hundreds of plants and cereals of the first garden with them to the land between the rivers; they also had brought along extensive herds and some of all the domesticated animals. Because of this they possessed great advantages over the surrounding tribes. They enjoyed many of the benefits of the previous culture of the original Garden.
76:3.7 (850.3)
Up to the time of leaving the first garden, Adam and his family had always subsisted on fruits, cereals, and nuts. On the way to Mesopotamia they had, for the first time, partaken of herbs and vegetables. The eating of meat was early introduced into the second garden, but Adam and Eve never partook of flesh as a part of their regular diet. Neither did Adamson nor Eveson nor the other children of the first generation of the first garden become flesh eaters.
76:3.8 (850.4)
The Adamites greatly excelled the surrounding peoples in cultural achievement and intellectual development. They produced the third alphabet and otherwise laid the foundations for much that was the forerunner of modern art, science, and literature. Here in the lands between the Tigris and Euphrates they maintained the arts of writing, metalworking, pottery making, and weaving and produced a type of architecture that was not excelled in thousands of years.
76:3.10 (850.6)
And when thinking of the Sethite priesthood, do not confuse those high-minded and noble teachers of health and religion, those true educators, with the debased and commercial priesthoods of the later tribes and surrounding nations. Their religious concepts of Deity and the universe were advanced and more or less accurate, their health provisions were, for their time, excellent, and their methods of education have never since been surpassed.
76:4.3 (851.1)
Adam and Eve, like their brethren on Jerusem, were energized by dual nutrition, subsisting on both food and light, supplemented by certain superphysical energies unrevealed on Urantia. Their Urantia offspring did not inherit the parental endowment of energy intake and light circulation. They had a single circulation, the human type of blood sustenance. They were designedly mortal though long-lived, albeit longevity gravitated toward the human norm with each succeeding generation.
76:4.4 (851.2)
Adam and Eve and their first generation of children did not use the flesh of animals for food. They subsisted wholly upon “the fruits of the trees.” After the first generation all of the descendants of Adam began to partake of dairy products, but many of them continued to follow a nonflesh diet. Many of the southern tribes with whom they later united were also nonflesh eaters. Later on, most of these vegetarian tribes migrated to the east and survived as now admixed in the peoples of India.
76:4.5 (851.3)
Both the physical and spiritual visions of Adam and Eve were far superior to those of the present-day peoples. Their special senses were much more acute, and they were able to see the midwayers and the angelic hosts, the Melchizedeks, and the fallen Prince Caligastia, who several times came to confer with his noble successor. They retained the ability to see these celestial beings for over one hundred years after the default. These special senses were not so acutely present in their children and tended to diminish with each succeeding generation.
76:4.6 (851.4)
The Adamic children were usually Adjuster indwelt since they all possessed undoubted survival capacity. These superior offspring were not so subject to fear as the children of evolution. So much of fear persists in the present-day races of Urantia because your ancestors received so little of Adam’s life plasm, owing to the early miscarriage of the plans for racial physical uplift.
76:4.7 (851.5)
The body cells of the Material Sons and their progeny are far more resistant to disease than are those of the evolutionary beings indigenous to the planet. The body cells of the native races are akin to the living disease-producing microscopic and ultramicroscopic organisms of the realm. These facts explain why the Urantia peoples must do so much by way of scientific effort to withstand so many physical disorders. You would be far more disease resistant if your races carried more of the Adamic life.
아담은 유프라테스 지역에 두 번째 동산을 세우게 된 후, 자신이 죽은 뒤에 이 세상이 유익을 얻도록 자신의 생명 원형질을 될 수 있는 대로 많이 남기기로 결정했다. 따라서, 이브가 인종 개량 12인 위원단의 우두머리가 됐고, 아담이 죽기 전에, 이 위원단은 가장 뛰어난 유형의 유란시아 여자 1,682명을 뽑았으며, 이 여자들은 아담의 생명 원형질로 임신했다. 그들이 낳은 자녀는 112명을 제외하고 모두 어른으로 성장했고, 이런 식으로 해서 세상은 1,570명의 탁월한 남녀가 더해지는 혜택을 입었다. 비록 이 어머니 후보자들이 주위의 모든 부족에서 뽑혔고 이 세상의 거의 모든 인종을 대표했음에도, 대부분은 놋족속 가운데 가장 뛰어난 종족에서 선발되어, 막강한 안드족속 인종의 옛 시조를 구성했다. 이 자녀들은 각자 자기 어머니 부족의 환경에서 태어나고 양육됐다.
76:4.8 (851.6)
After becoming established in the second garden on the Euphrates, Adam elected to leave behind as much of his life plasm as possible to benefit the world after his death. Accordingly, Eve was made the head of a commission of twelve on race improvement, and before Adam died this commission had selected 1,682 of the highest type of women on Urantia, and these women were impregnated with the Adamic life plasm. Their children all grew up to maturity except 112, so that the world, in this way, was benefited by the addition of 1,570 superior men and women. Though these candidate mothers were selected from all the surrounding tribes and represented most of the races on earth, the majority were chosen from the highest strains of the Nodites, and they constituted the early beginnings of the mighty Andite race. These children were born and reared in the tribal surroundings of their respective mothers.
76:5.1 (851.7)
Not long after the establishment of the second Eden, Adam and Eve were duly informed that their repentance was acceptable, and that, while they were doomed to suffer the fate of the mortals of their world, they should certainly become eligible for admission to the ranks of the sleeping survivors of Urantia. They fully believed this gospel of resurrection and rehabilitation which the Melchizedeks so touchingly proclaimed to them. Their transgression had been an error of judgment and not the sin of conscious and deliberate rebellion.
아담과 이브가 예루셈 시민이었을 때에는 사고 섭리사를 소유하지 않았고, 유란시아의 첫 동산에서 활동하는 동안에도 사고 섭리사는 그들에게 내주하지 않았다. 그러나 필사 상태로 전락되고 얼마 후에, 자신 안에 새 현존을 의식하게 됐으며, 그들은 인간 신분으로도 진지하게 뉘우치면 섭리사가 내주할 수 있음을 깨닫게 됐다. 섭리사가 내주함에 대한 이 인식은, 아담과 이브에게 남은 생애 동안 큰 기쁨이 됐으며;그들은, 사타니아의 물질 아들로서는 실패했음을 알았지만, 또한 우주에서 상승하는 아들로서, 낙원으로 가는 생애가 아직 자신에게 열려있다는 것도 알았다.
76:5.2 (852.1)
Adam and Eve did not, as citizens of Jerusem, have Thought Adjusters, nor were they Adjuster indwelt when they functioned on Urantia in the first garden. But shortly after their reduction to mortal status they became conscious of a new presence within them and awakened to the realization that human status coupled with sincere repentance had made it possible for Adjusters to indwell them. It was this knowledge of being Adjuster indwelt that greatly heartened Adam and Eve throughout the remainder of their lives; they knew that they had failed as Material Sons of Satania, but they also knew that the Paradise career was still open to them as ascending sons of the universe.
아담은 자신이 행성에 도착함과 동시에 섭리시대의 부활이 일어난 것을 알았고, 자신과 반려자는 아마 다음 아들신분 계층의 도래에 연관해서 다시 인격화될 것이라고 믿었다. 그는 이 우주의 주권자 미가엘이 유란시아에 그렇게 빨리 도래하리라는 것은 알지 못했으며;다음 번 아들로는 아보날 계층이 오게 되리라고 기대했다. 그렇다 하더라도, 언젠가 미가엘로부터 받은 유일한 개인적 메시지를 숙고하는 것은, 아담과 이브에게 항상 위안이 됐으나, 더러는 그들이 이해하기 어려웠다. 이 메시지는 우정과 위로를 표현하는 다른 말과 함께 이렇게 말했다:“나는 너희가 태만하게 된 배경을 충분히 고려했다. 나는 내 아버지 뜻에 항상 충성하려는 너희 심정의 열망을 기억하고 있으며, 내 영역에서 하급{下級} 아들들이 그전에 너희를 부르러 가지 않는다면, 내가 유란시아에 내려갈 때 너희가 필사 수면 상태에서 깨어날 것이다.”
76:5.3 (852.2)
Adam knew about the dispensational resurrection which occurred simultaneously with his arrival on the planet, and he believed that he and his companion would probably be repersonalized in connection with the advent of the next order of sonship. He did not know that Michael, the sovereign of this universe, was so soon to appear on Urantia; he expected that the next Son to arrive would be of the Avonal order. Even so, it was always a comfort to Adam and Eve, as well as something difficult for them to understand, to ponder the only personal message they ever received from Michael. This message, among other expressions of friendship and comfort, said: “I have given consideration to the circumstances of your default, I have remembered the desire of your hearts ever to be loyal to my Father’s will, and you will be called from the embrace of mortal slumber when I come to Urantia if the subordinate Sons of my realm do not send for you before that time.”
그리고 이것은 아담과 이브에게 크나큰 신비였다. 그들은 이 메시지에서 자신들이 특별히 부활할 가능성이 있다는 분명치 않은 약속을 납득할 수 있었고, 그런 가능성은 그들에게 크게 용기를 불러 일으켰으나, 미가엘이 유란시아에 직접 나타나는 날과 관련해서 일어날 부활의 때까지, 자신들이 휴식하게 될지도 모른다는 암시의 의미는 파악하지 못했다. 그래서 에덴의 부부는, 하나님의 아들이 언젠가 올 것이라고 항상 선포했으며, 자신들이 큰 실책을 범하고 슬픔을 겪은 세계가, 어쩌면 이 우주 통치자가 낙원 증여 아들로서 활동하려고 선택하는 영역이 될 수 있다는 이 믿음, 적어도 간절한 희망을, 사랑하는 자들에게 전달했다. 그것은 사실로 이뤄지기에는 너무 대단한 일처럼 보였지만, 아담은, 다툼으로-분열된 유란시아가, 결국 사타니아 체계에서 가장 운 좋은 세계, 즉 전체 네바돈에서 가장 부러움을 사는 행성이 될 수 있다는 생각을 품었다.
76:5.4 (852.3)
And this was a great mystery to Adam and Eve. They could comprehend the veiled promise of a possible special resurrection in this message, and such a possibility greatly cheered them, but they could not grasp the meaning of the intimation that they might rest until the time of a resurrection associated with Michael’s personal appearance on Urantia. And so the Edenic pair always proclaimed that a Son of God would sometime come, and they communicated to their loved ones the belief, at least the longing hope, that the world of their blunders and sorrows might possibly be the realm whereon the ruler of this universe would elect to function as the Paradise bestowal Son. It seemed too good to be true, but Adam did entertain the thought that strife-torn Urantia might, after all, turn out to be the most fortunate world in the system of Satania, the envied planet of all Nebadon.
76:5.5 (852.4)
Adam lived for 530 years; he died of what might be termed old age. His physical mechanism simply wore out; the process of disintegration gradually gained on the process of repair, and the inevitable end came. Eve had died nineteen years previously of a weakened heart. They were both buried in the center of the temple of divine service which had been built in accordance with their plans soon after the wall of the colony had been completed. And this was the origin of the practice of burying noted and pious men and women under the floors of the places of worship.
유란시아의 초물질 정부는, 멜기세덱들의 지휘 하에 계속 유지됐으나, 진화 인종들과 직접 육체로 접촉하는 일은 단절돼왔다. 먼 과거에 행성 왕자의 육체전환 참모들이 도착한 때부터, 반과 아마돈 시대를 거쳐서 아담과 이브가 도래할 때까지, 우주정부의 물리적 대표자들이 이 행성에 머물러 있었다. 그러나 45만년 넘는 오랜 기간에 걸쳐서 계속돼온 이 체제는, 아담의 태만으로 인해 종말을 고했다. 천사 협조자는 영적 분야에서 사고 섭리사와 함께 계속 투쟁했고 개인의 구원을 위해 둘 다 영웅적으로 일했지만;아브라함 시대에 마키벤타 멜기세덱이 도래하기 전에는, 멀리-미치는 세계 복지를 위한 포괄적 계획이 이 세상 필사자들에게 공표되지 않았는데, 마키벤타는 하나님의 아들의 권능과 인내심과 권위를 갖고, 불운한 유란시아를 더욱 향상시키고 영적으로 부흥시키기 위한 기초{基礎}를 놓았다.
76:5.6 (852.5)
The supermaterial government of Urantia, under the direction of the Melchizedeks, continued, but direct physical contact with the evolutionary races had been severed. From the distant days of the arrival of the corporeal staff of the Planetary Prince, down through the times of Van and Amadon to the arrival of Adam and Eve, physical representatives of the universe government had been stationed on the planet. But with the Adamic default this regime, extending over a period of more than four hundred and fifty thousand years, came to an end. In the spiritual spheres, angelic helpers continued to struggle in conjunction with the Thought Adjusters, both working heroically for the salvage of the individual; but no comprehensive plan for far-reaching world welfare was promulgated to the mortals of earth until the arrival of Machiventa Melchizedek, in the times of Abraham, who, with the power, patience, and authority of a Son of God, did lay the foundations for the further uplift and spiritual rehabilitation of unfortunate Urantia.
하지만 유란시아에 불운만 있었던 것은 아니며;이 행성은 네바돈 지방우주에서 가장 운 좋은 행성이기도 했다. 선조의 큰 실책과 초기에 왔던 세계 통치자들의 실수 때문에, 행성이 그토록 혼란스런 절망 상태에 던져지고, 악과 죄로 인해 한층 더 형편없게 된 바로 이런 어둠의 배경이, 네바돈 미가엘의 마음을 움직여서, 그가 하늘에 계신 아버지의 사랑스런 인격을 드러내는 무대로서 이 세계를 선택했다면, 유란시아인은 이 모든 것을 이득으로 계산해야 할 것이다. 엉켜버린 그 직무를 유란시아가 바로잡는 데 창조주 아들이 필요하지는 않았으며;그보다는, 유란시아에서 죄와 악은, 낙원 아버지의 비길 데 없는 사랑과 자비와 인내를 창조주 아들에게 드러낼, 좀 더 뚜렷한 배경을 마련해줬다.
76:5.7 (853.1)
Misfortune has not, however, been the sole lot of Urantia; this planet has also been the most fortunate in the local universe of Nebadon. Urantians should count it all gain if the blunders of their ancestors and the mistakes of their early world rulers so plunged the planet into such a hopeless state of confusion, all the more confounded by evil and sin, that this very background of darkness should so appeal to Michael of Nebadon that he selected this world as the arena wherein to reveal the loving personality of the Father in heaven. It is not that Urantia needed a Creator Son to set its tangled affairs in order; it is rather that the evil and sin on Urantia afforded the Creator Son a more striking background against which to reveal the matchless love, mercy, and patience of the Paradise Father.
76:6.1 (853.2)
Adam and Eve went to their mortal rest with strong faith in the promises made to them by the Melchizedeks that they would sometime awake from the sleep of death to resume life on the mansion worlds, worlds all so familiar to them in the days preceding their mission in the material flesh of the violet race on Urantia.
그 영역의 필사자가 겪는 무의식 수면{睡眠}의 망각 상태에, 그들이 오래 머물러 있지는 않았다. 아담이 죽은 뒤 셋째 날, 경건한 장례식을 치른 후 둘째 날에, 에덴시아의 대리 지고자들이 승인하고, 미가엘을 대행하는 살빙톤의 합동 항존자가 동의한 라나훠지의 명령을 가브리엘이 받았는데, 이 명령은 유란시아에서 아담이 태만했을 때 탁월하게 생존한 자들에 대한 특별 출석점호를 지시했다. 그리고 유란시아 계열에서 이십육{26}번에 해당하는 이 특별 부활 명령에 따라서, 아담과 이브는 첫 동산을 체험한 1,316명의 동역자와 함께, 사타니아 맨션 세계의 부활실{復活室}에서 다시 인격화되고 재조립됐다. 충성한 많은 다른 혼은 아담이 도착했을 때 이미 전환돼있었으며, 뒤이어, 잠자던 생존자와 자격 있는 살아있는 상승자들 양쪽에 대해서 섭리시대 판결이 내려졌다.
76:6.2 (853.3)
They did not long rest in the oblivion of the unconscious sleep of the mortals of the realm. On the third day after Adam’s death, the second following his reverent burial, the orders of Lanaforge, sustained by the acting Most High of Edentia and concurred in by the Union of Days on Salvington, acting for Michael, were placed in Gabriel’s hands, directing the special roll call of the distinguished survivors of the Adamic default on Urantia. And in accordance with this mandate of special resurrection, number twenty-six of the Urantia series, Adam and Eve were repersonalized and reassembled in the resurrection halls of the mansion worlds of Satania together with 1,316 of their associates in the experience of the first garden. Many other loyal souls had already been translated at the time of Adam’s arrival, which was attended by a dispensational adjudication of both the sleeping survivors and of the living qualified ascenders.

Adam and Eve quickly passed through the worlds of progressive ascension until they attained citizenship on Jerusem, once again to be residents of the planet of their origin but this time as members of a different order of universe personalities. They left Jerusem as permanent citizens—Sons of God; they returned as ascendant citizens—sons of man. They were immediately attached to the Urantia service on the system capital, later being assigned membership among the four and twenty counselors who constitute the present advisory-control body of Urantia.
이렇게 해서, 유란시아의 행성 아담과 이브의 이야기는 막을 내리는데, 이것은 시련과 비극과 승리의 이야기, 즉 의도는 좋았지만 속임수에 넘어간 물질 아들과 딸에게는 적어도 개인적으로 승리한 이야기이고, 의심할 바 없이, 그들의 세계, 그리고 반역으로-버림받고 악에-시달리던 거주민에게는, 마침내 궁극적으로 승리한 이야기였다. 모든 것을 종합해보면, 아담과 이브는 인류의 신속한 문명 발달과 생물학적 진보에 크게 기여했다. 그들은 이 세상에 위대한 문명을 남겼으나, 아담의 유산마저 일찍부터 희석되고 종국에 침몰하고 마는 운명에 직면해서는, 그토록 진보된 문명도 살아남을 수 없었다. 문명을 이룩하는 것은 민족이며;문명이 민족을 만들지 않는다.

And thus ends the story of the Planetary Adam and Eve of Urantia, a story of trial, tragedy, and triumph, at least personal triumph for your well-meaning but deluded Material Son and Daughter and undoubtedly, in the end, a story of ultimate triumph for their world and its rebellion-tossed and evil-harassed inhabitants. When all is summed up, Adam and Eve made a mighty contribution to the speedy civilization and accelerated biologic progress of the human race. They left a great culture on earth, but it was not possible for such an advanced civilization to survive in the face of the early dilution and the eventual submergence of the Adamic inheritance. It is the people who make a civilization; civilization does not make the people.
