THE PLANETARY PRINCE OF URANTIA
POGLAVLJE 66 : PLANETARNI KNEZ URANTIJE
1955 66:0.1 THE advent of a Lanonandek Son on an average world signifies that will, the ability to choose the path of eternal survival, has developed in the mind of primitive man. But on Urantia the Planetary Prince arrived almost half a million years after the appearance of human will.
2014 66:0.1 DOLAZAK Sina Lanonandeka na prosječan svijet znači da se u umu njegovih primitivnih žitelja pojavila volja, sposobnost odabira puta vječnog života. No, Planetarni Knez je stigao na Urantiju gotovo milijun godina nakon pojave ljudske volje.
1955 66:0.2 About five hundred thousand years ago and concurrent with the appearance of the six colored or Sangik races, Caligastia, the Planetary Prince, arrived on Urantia. There were almost one-half billion primitive human beings on earth at the time of the Prince’s arrival, and they were well scattered over Europe, Asia, and Africa. The Prince’s headquarters, established in Mesopotamia, was at about the center of world population.
2014 66:0.2 Prije otprilike pet stotina tisuća godina i istodobno s pojavom šest obojenih sangiških rasa, na Urantiju je stigao Planetarni Knez po imenu Kaligastija. U to je doba na svijetu živjelo otprilike pola bilijuna primitivnih ljudi raštrkanih širom Europe, Azije i Afrike. Kneževa je prijestolnica podignuta u Mezopotamiji, na mjestu koje je više-manje odgovaralo samom centru ondašnje svjetske populacije.
¶ 1. KNEZ KALIGASTIJA
1. PRINCE CALIGASTIA
1. KNEZ KALIGASTIJA
1955 66:1.1 Caligastia was a Lanonandek Son, number 9,344 of the secondary order. He was experienced in the administration of the affairs of the local universe in general and, during later ages, with the management of the local system of Satania in particular.
1955 66:1.2 Prior to the reign of Lucifer in Satania, Caligastia had been attached to the council of the Life Carrier advisers on Jerusem. Lucifer elevated Caligastia to a position on his personal staff, and he acceptably filled five successive assignments of honor and trust.
2014 66:1.2 Prije nego je Lucifer postao vladarom Satanije, Kaligastija je ušao u zbor savjetnika Nositelja Života koji je djelovao na Jeruzemu. Lucifer je unaprijedio Kaligastiju na poziciju osobnog asistenta koju je ovaj spremno prihvatio i na ovoj je povjerljivoj i cijenjenoj poziciji služio pet puta.
1955 66:1.3 Caligastia very early sought a commission as Planetary Prince, but repeatedly, when his request came up for approval in the constellation councils, it would fail to receive the assent of the Constellation Fathers. Caligastia seemed especially desirous of being sent as planetary ruler to a decimal or life-modification world. His petition had several times been disapproved before he was finally assigned to Urantia.
2014 66:1.3 Kaligastija je vrlo rano počeo tražiti da postane Planetarni Knez, ali svaki put kad bi podnio molbu vijećima zviježđa, ona ne bi primila odobrenje Očeva Zviježđa. Izgleda da je Kaligastija prije svega želio postati planetarni vladar decimalnog svijeta na kojem je sprovedena modifikacija života. Njegova je molba više puta odbijena, kad je konačno primio odobrenje da dođe na Urantiju.
1955 66:1.4 Caligastia went forth from Jerusem to his trust of world dominion with an enviable record of loyalty and devotion to the welfare of the universe of his origin and sojourn, notwithstanding a certain characteristic restlessness coupled with a tendency to disagree with the established order in certain minor matters.
2014 66:1.4 Kaligastiji je povjerena ova pozicija svjetskog vladara zbog toga što je posjedovao zavidan rekord najviše odanosti i predanosti dobrobiti svemira u kojem je živio i iz kojeg je potekao, unatoč tome što je ispoljavao određeni nedostatak osobnog mira i što je - kad je bilo riječi o određenim manje bitnim pitanjima - često izražavao neslaganje s utemeljenim poretkom.
1955 66:1.5 I was present on Jerusem when the brilliant Caligastia departed from the system capital. No prince of the planets ever embarked upon a career of world rulership with a richer preparatory experience or with better prospects than did Caligastia on that eventful day one-half million years ago. One thing is certain: As I executed my assignment of putting the narrative of that event on the broadcasts of the local universe, I never for one moment entertained even in the slightest degree any idea that this noble Lanonandek would so shortly betray his sacred trust of planetary custody and so horribly stain the fair name of his exalted order of universe sonship. I really regarded Urantia as being among the five or six most fortunate planets in all Satania in that it was to have such an experienced, brilliant, and original mind at the helm of world affairs. I did not then comprehend that Caligastia was insidiously falling in love with himself; I did not then so fully understand the subtleties of personality pride.
2014 66:1.5 Bio sam na Jeruzemu kad je izvanredni Kaligastija napustio ovaj centar sustava. Tog bitnog dana prije pola milijuna godina, vladalo je mišljenje da ni jedan planetarni knez bilo kojeg svijeta nije imao bogatije pripremno iskustvo ili bolje buduće izglede od Kaligastije. Jedno je sigurno: Dok sam se spremao objaviti vijesti o ovom događaju na razglasnom sustavu lokalnog svemira, ni jednog časa nisam pomislio da bi ovaj plemeniti Lanonandek tako skoro izdao svoju svetu dužnost planetarne uprave i da bi na tako užasan način okaljao vrijedno ime svog visokog reda svemirskih sinova. Uistinu sam vjerovao da je Urantija bila jedan od pet ili šest najsrećnijih planeta cijele Satanije po tome što je ovaj iskusni, briljantni i osebujni um postavljen na poziciju uprave nad njezinim svjetskim pitanjima. Tada nisam shvaćao da se Kaligastija podmuklo zaljubljivao u samoga sebe; u to vrijeme nisam posve razumjevao suptilnosti osobnog ponosa.
¶ 2. KNEŽEVO OSOBLJE
2. THE PRINCE’S STAFF
2. KNEŽEVO OSOBLJE
1955 66:2.1 The Planetary Prince of Urantia was not sent out on his mission alone but was accompanied by the usual corps of assistants and administrative helpers.
2014 66:2.1 Planetarni Knez Urantije nije poslan na ovu misiju sam, već je u skladu s običajem došao u pratnji asistenata i administrativnih pomoćnika.
1955 66:2.2 At the head of this group was Daligastia, the associate-assistant of the Planetary Prince. Daligastia was also a secondary Lanonandek Son, being number 319,407 of that order. He ranked as an assistant at the time of his assignment as Caligastia’s associate.
2014 66:2.2 Na čelu ove grupe nalazio se Daligastija, suradnik i asistent Planetarnog Kneza. Daligastija je također pripadao drugom redu Sinova Lanonandeka koji je nosio broj 319.407. U vrijeme kad je postao Kaligastijin suradnik, imao je status asistenta.
1955 66:2.3 The planetary staff included a large number of angelic co-operators and a host of other celestial beings assigned to advance the interests and promote the welfare of the human races. But from your standpoint the most interesting group of all were the corporeal members of the Prince’s staff—sometimes referred to as the Caligastia one hundred.
2014 66:2.3 Među planetarnim se osobljem nalazio veliki broj anđeoskih suradnika i mnoštvo drugih nebeskih bića kojima je bio povjeren rad na unaprijeđenju interesa i dobrobiti ljudskih rasa. Ali s vašeg stanovišta, najzanimljivija je bila grupa utjelovljenih članova Kneževog osoblja - koja ponekad nosi naziv Kaligastijina stotinka.
1955 66:2.4 These one hundred rematerialized members of the Prince’s staff were chosen by Caligastia from over 785,000 ascendant citizens of Jerusem who volunteered for embarkation on the Urantia adventure. Each one of the chosen one hundred was from a different planet, and none of them were from Urantia.
2014 66:2.4 Ovih je stotinu reinkarniranih pripadnika Kneževog osoblja odabrao sam Kaligastija između 785.000 uzlaznih državljana Jeruzema koji su se dobrovoljno javili da dođu na Urantiju. Među izabranom stotinkom, svaki je bio s drugog planeta i ni jedan nije bio s Urantije.
1955 66:2.5 These Jerusemite volunteers were brought by seraphic transport direct from the system capital to Urantia, and upon arrival they were held enseraphimed until they could be provided with personality forms of the dual nature of special planetary service, literal bodies consisting of flesh and blood but also attuned to the life circuits of the system.
2014 66:2.5 Ovi su dobrovoljci s Jeruzema preneseni putem serafskih prijenosnika direktno s glavnog centra sustava na Urantiju, gdje su ostali userafimljeni dok nisu identificirana osobna obličja dvojne prirode neophodna za ovu specijaliziranu planetarnu službu, prava tijela od krvi i mesa, koja su u isto vrijeme bila podešena za uključivanje u životne krugove sustava.
1955 66:2.6 Sometime before the arrival of these one hundred Jerusem citizens, the two supervising Life Carriers resident on Urantia, having previously perfected their plans, petitioned Jerusem and Edentia for permission to transplant the life plasm of one hundred selected survivors of the Andon and Fonta stock into the material bodies to be projected for the corporeal members of the Prince’s staff. The request was granted on Jerusem and approved on Edentia.
2014 66:2.6 Nedugo prije dolaska ovih stotinu jeruzemskih državljana, dva Nositelja Života koja su trenutno živjela na Urantiji i djelovala u ulozi nadglednika, nakon potanke razrade planova za utjelovljenje, podnijela su molbu Jeruzemu i Edentiji da im se dopusti da presade životnu plazmu stotinu odabranih preživjelih osoba, potomaka Andona i Fonte, u materijalna tijela koja su trebala poslužiti utjelovljenju pripadnika Kneževog osoblja. Jeruzem i Edentija su odobrili ovu molbu.
1955 66:2.7 Accordingly, fifty males and fifty females of the Andon and Fonta posterity, representing the survival of the best strains of that unique race, were chosen by the Life Carriers. With one or two exceptions these Andonite contributors to the advancement of the race were strangers to one another. They were assembled from widely separated places by co-ordinated Thought Adjuster direction and seraphic guidance at the threshold of the planetary headquarters of the Prince. Here the one hundred human subjects were given into the hands of the highly skilled volunteer commission from Avalon, who directed the material extraction of a portion of the life plasm of these Andon descendants. This living material was then transferred to the material bodies constructed for the use of the one hundred Jerusemite members of the Prince’s staff. Meantime, these newly arrived citizens of the system capital were held in the sleep of seraphic transport.
2014 66:2.7 Nositelji Života su tako odabrali pedeset muškaraca i pedeset žena, potomaka Andona i Fonte, koji su predstavljali preživjele pripadnike ove jedinstvene rase. Izuzev u malom broju slučajeva, ovi andoniti koji su trebali doprinijeti rasnom unaprijeđenju planeta nisu jedni druge poznavali. Bili su iz različitih mjesta i odabrani su zahvaljujući suradnji njihovih Misaonih Ispravljača i serafima; vođeni ovim utjecajima stigli su na sama vrata Kneževog planetarnog centra. Tu je ovih stotinu ljudi predano u ruke visoko specijaliziranih dobrovoljaca s Avalona koji su od ovih andonskih potomaka uzeli materijalni ekstrakt dijela životne plazme. Ovaj je živi materijal prenesen u materijalna tijela koja su trebala primiti stotinu jeruzemskih pripadnika Kneževog osoblja. Serafski prijevoznici su u međuvremenu držali ove novopristigle osobe s glavnog sustavnog centra u dubokom snu.
1955 66:2.8 These transactions, together with the literal creation of special bodies for the Caligastia one hundred, gave origin to numerous legends, many of which subsequently became confused with the later traditions concerning the planetary installation of Adam and Eve.
2014 66:2.8 Ovi su događaji, zajedno sa procesom stvaranja specijalnih tijela koja su trebala poslužila pripadnicima Kaligastijine stotinke, dali povoda mnogim predanjima od kojih su mnoga kasnije pobrkana s predanjima u vezi kasnijeg planetarnog utjelovljenja Adama i Eve.
1955 66:2.9 The entire transaction of repersonalization, from the time of the arrival of the seraphic transports bearing the one hundred Jerusem volunteers until they became conscious, threefold beings of the realm, consumed exactly ten days.
2014 66:2.9 Cijeli je ovaj proces novog utjelovljenja ličnosti, od dolaska serafskih prijevoznika koji su nosili stotinu jeruzemskih dobrovoljaca, do časa kad su isti ponovo stekli svijest kao trostruka bića svijeta, trajao točno deset dana.
¶ 3. DALAMACIJA - KNEŽEV GRAD
3. DALAMATIA—THE CITY OF THE PRINCE
3. DALAMACIJA - KNEŽEV GRAD
1955 66:3.1 The headquarters of the Planetary Prince was situated in the Persian Gulf region of those days, in the district corresponding to later Mesopotamia.
2014 66:3.1 Prijestolnica Planetarnog Kneza je bila smještena u Perzijskom zaljevu, u području današnje Mezopotamije.
1955 66:3.2 The climate and landscape in the Mesopotamia of those times were in every way favorable to the undertakings of the Prince’s staff and their assistants, very different from conditions which have sometimes since prevailed. It was necessary to have such a favoring climate as a part of the natural environment designed to induce primitive Urantians to make certain initial advances in culture and civilization. The one great task of those ages was to transform man from a hunter to a herder, with the hope that later on he would evolve into a peace-loving, home-abiding farmer.
2014 66:3.2 U ovo vrijeme klima i topografija Mezopotamije su u svakom pogledu pogodovali ovom poduzeću Kneževog osoblja i njihovih pomoćnika i bitno su se razlikovali od uvjeta koji su kasnije prevladali ovim područjem. Ovako povoljni klimatski uvjeti su bili bitan dio prirodnog okružja koje je trebalo navesti žitelje Urantije da poduzmu prve korake u smjeru kulturnog i civilizacijskog napretka. Najbitniji cilj ovog doba je bio preobražaj lovca u stočara, u nadi da bi ovaj stočar s vremenom evoluirao u miroljubivog zemljoradnika koji je privržen svome ognjištu.
1955 66:3.3 The headquarters of the Planetary Prince on Urantia was typical of such stations on a young and developing sphere. The nucleus of the Prince’s settlement was a very simple but beautiful city, enclosed within a wall forty feet high. This world center of culture was named Dalamatia in honor of Daligastia.
2014 66:3.3 Prijestolnica Planetarnog Kneza koja je uspostavljena na Urantiji predstavlja tipičan primjer centara kakvi se uspostavljaju na novim evolucijskim planetima. U centru Kneževe utvrde bio je vrlo jednostavan, ali jako lijep grad okružen zidinama visokim nekih dvanaest metara. Ovaj je centar svjetske kulture nazvan Dalamacija u čast Daligastije.
1955 66:3.4 The city was laid out in ten subdivisions with the headquarters mansions of the ten councils of the corporeal staff situated at the centers of these subdivisions. Centermost in the city was the temple of the unseen Father. The administrative headquarters of the Prince and his associates was arranged in twelve chambers immediately grouped about the temple itself.
2014 66:3.4 Grad je bio podjeljen u deset dijelova, dok su u centru svakog dijela bile kuće pripadnika deset različitih sabora utjelovljenog osoblja. U samom centru grada je bio hram neviđenog Oca. Centar administrativne uprave Kneza i njegovih suradnika je bio podijeljen u dvanaest komora smještenih neposredno pored hrama.
1955 66:3.5 The buildings of Dalamatia were all one story except the council headquarters, which were two stories, and the central temple of the Father of all, which was small but three stories in height.
2014 66:3.5 Sve građevine Dalamacije su imale jedan kat, izuzev dvokatnih zgrada u kojima je zasjedao sabor i trokatnog, premda malog, hrama Oca Svih.
1955 66:3.6 The city represented the best practices of those early days in building material—brick. Very little stone or wood was used. Home building and village architecture among the surrounding peoples were greatly improved by the Dalamatian example.
2014 66:3.6 Grad je pružao svjedočanstvo najnaprednijim graditeljskim vještinama ove dobi - prije svega upotrebi opeke. Korišteno je vrlo malo kamena i drveta. Prema primjeru Dalamacije, uveliko su unaprijeđene arhitektonske vještine obližnjih naroda.
1955 66:3.7 Near the Prince’s headquarters there dwelt all colors and strata of human beings. And it was from these near-by tribes that the first students of the Prince’s schools were recruited. Although these early schools of Dalamatia were crude, they provided all that could be done for the men and women of that primitive age.
2014 66:3.7 U blizini Kneževog centra živjeli su ljudi svih boja i klasa. I upravo su iz ovih obližnjih plemena došli prvi učenici koji su pohađali Kneževe škole. Premda su ove rane dalamatijske škole bile dosta grube, pružale su sve što su muškarci i žene ovog primitivnog doba bili u stanju primiti.
1955 66:3.8 The Prince’s corporeal staff continuously gathered about them the superior individuals of the surrounding tribes and, after training and inspiring these students, sent them back as teachers and leaders of their respective peoples.
2014 66:3.8 Kneževo je utjelovljeno osoblje neprestano oko sebe okupljalo najnaprednije osobe iz obližnjih plemena i nakon što im je dalo obrazovanje i nadahnuće, vraćalo ih je među njihove sunarodnjake u ulozi učitelja i vođa.
¶ 4. RANI DANI KALIGASTIJINE STOTINKE
4. EARLY DAYS OF THE ONE HUNDRED
4. RANI DANI KALIGASTIJINE STOTINKE
1955 66:4.1 The arrival of the Prince’s staff created a profound impression. While it required almost a thousand years for the news to spread abroad, those tribes near the Mesopotamian headquarters were tremendously influenced by the teachings and conduct of the one hundred new sojourners on Urantia. And much of your subsequent mythology grew out of the garbled legends of these early days when these members of the Prince’s staff were repersonalized on Urantia as supermen.
2014 66:4.1 Kneževo osoblje je ostavilo snažan dojam na ljude. Premda je bilo potrebno gotovo tisuću godina kako bi se vijesti o njima proširile među udaljenijim grupama, plemena koja su se našla u neposrednoj blizini ovog mezopotamskog centra uveliko su napredovala zahvaljujući djelima i učenjima ovih novih stotinu žitelja Urantije. I dosta je mitologije kasnije izraslo iz izvitoperenih legendi o ovim ranim događajima iz vremena kad su ovi pripadnici Kneževog osoblja repersonificirani kao nadljudi Urantije.
1955 66:4.2 The serious obstacle to the good influence of such extraplanetary teachers is the tendency of mortals to regard them as gods, but aside from the technique of their appearance on earth the Caligastia one hundred—fifty men and fifty women—did not resort to supernatural methods nor superhuman manipulations.
2014 66:4.2 Djelovanje ovih vanzemaljskih učitelja je u velikoj mjeri osujećeno sklonošću ljudi da posmatraju ova bića kao bogove, premda na stranu od metode pojave ove stotinke na Urantiji -pedeset muškaraca i pedeset žena -- nisu korištene druge nadprirodne metode ili nadljudske manipulacije.
1955 66:4.3 But the corporeal staff were nonetheless superhuman. They began their mission on Urantia as extraordinary threefold beings:
2014 66:4.3 Ali utjelovljeno osoblje je i pored toga bilo nadljudsko. Započeli su svoju misiju na Urantiji kao nesvakidašnja bića trostruke prirode:
1955 66:4.4 1. They were corporeal and relatively human, for they embodied the actual life plasm of one of the human races, the Andonic life plasm of Urantia.
2014 66:4.4 1. Bili su utjelovljeni i relativno čovjekoliki, kako su u sebi imali stvarnu životnu plazmu jedne ljudske rase, andoničku životnu plazmu Urantije.
1955 66:4.5 These one hundred members of the Prince’s staff were divided equally as to sex and in accordance with their previous mortal status. Each person of this group was capable of becoming coparental to some new order of physical being, but they had been carefully instructed to resort to parenthood only under certain conditions. It is customary for the corporeal staff of a Planetary Prince to procreate their successors sometime prior to retiring from special planetary service. Usually this is at, or shortly after, the time of the arrival of the Planetary Adam and Eve.
2014 66:4.5 Ovih je stotinu pripadnika Kneževog osoblja bilo jednako podijeljeno između muškaraca i žena, u ovisnosti od toga kojem su spolu prethodno pripadali. Svaka je osoba iz ove skupine bila u stanju imati djecu, proizvesti neku novu vrstu fizičkog života, dok im je bilo strogo zabranjeno postati roditeljima izuzev pod određenim uvjetima. Vladao je običaj da utjelovljeno osoblje Planetarnog Kneza proizvede djecu neposredno pred kraj svoje specijalne planetarne službe. Ovo se obično poklapa ili neposredno prethodi dolasku Planetarnog Adama i Eve.
1955 66:4.6 These special beings therefore had little or no idea as to what type of material creature would be produced by their sexual union. And they never did know; before the time for such a step in the prosecution of their world work the entire regime was upset by rebellion, and those who later functioned in the parental role had been isolated from the life currents of the system.
2014 66:4.6 Jasno je stoga da ova specijalna bića nisu znala kakav će oblik materijalnog života rezultirati iz njihovog seksualnog odnosa. I ovo nisu nikada uspjeli saznati; prije nego što su imati priliku stupiti u takav odnos, pobunom je poremećeno cijelo njihovo poduzeće i oni koji su kasnije postali roditelji bili su izolirani od životnih tokova sustava.
1955 66:4.7 In skin color and language these materialized members of Caligastia’s staff followed the Andonic race. They partook of food as did the mortals of the realm with this difference: The re-created bodies of this group were fully satisfied by a nonflesh diet. This was one of the considerations which determined their residence in a warm region abounding in fruits and nuts. The practice of subsisting on a nonflesh diet dates from the times of the Caligastia one hundred, for this custom spread near and far to affect the eating habits of many surrounding tribes, groups of origin in the once exclusively meat-eating evolutionary races.
2014 66:4.7 Po boji kože i jeziku kojim su govorili ovi su materijalizirani pripadnici Kaligastijinog osoblja nalikovali andoničkoj rasi. Hranili su se onako kako su to činila smrtna bića ovog svijeta, s jednim izuzetkom: Novostvorenim tijelima ove grupe posve je odgovarala vegetarijanska hrana. Ovo je bio jedan od razloga zašto je njihova utvrda bila smještena u toplim predjelima koji su obilovali voćem i orahnjačama. Vegetarijanstvo vuče porijeklo iz vremena Kaligastije, a običaj se proširio među mnogim drugim obližnjim kao i nekim dalekim plemenima, evolucijskim rasama koje su se nekoć isključivo hranile mesom.
1955 66:4.8 2. The one hundred were material but superhuman beings, having been reconstituted on Urantia as unique men and women of a high and special order.
2014 66:4.8 2. Stotinka je predstavljala materijalna ali nadljudska bića koja su na Urantiji nanovo stvorena u obliku jedinstvenih muškaraca i žena visokog i specijalnog reda.
1955 66:4.9 This group, while enjoying provisional citizenship on Jerusem, were as yet unfused with their Thought Adjusters; and when they volunteered and were accepted for planetary service in liaison with the descending orders of sonship, their Adjusters were detached. But these Jerusemites were superhuman beings—they possessed souls of ascendant growth. During the mortal life in the flesh the soul is of embryonic estate; it is born (resurrected) in the morontia life and experiences growth through the successive morontia worlds. And the souls of the Caligastia one hundred had thus expanded through the progressive experiences of the seven mansion worlds to citizenship status on Jerusem.
2014 66:4.9 Dok su uživali visoki status jeruzemskog državljanstva, oni nisu bili spojeni s Misaonim Ispravljačima; i kad su se javili kao dobrovoljci za ovu planetarnu službu i kad su prihvaćeni na službu u suradnji sa silaznim sinovima, odvojeni su od svojih Ispravljača. Ali ovi su Jeruzemljani bili nadljudska bića -posjedovali su duše koje su uzlazno rasle. Za vrijeme smrtnog života u ljudskom obličju, duša se nalazi u embrionskom stadiju; ona se rađa (uskrsne) za morontija života i doživljava rast dok prolazi kroz niz morontija svjetova. Duše Kaligastijine stotinke su također napredovale progresivnim iskustvom kroz sedam prebivališnih svjetova dok nisu stekle državljanstvo na Jeruzemu.
1955 66:4.10 In conformity to their instructions the staff did not engage in sexual reproduction, but they did painstakingly study their personal constitutions, and they carefully explored every imaginable phase of intellectual (mind) and morontia (soul) liaison. And it was during the thirty-third year of their sojourn in Dalamatia, long before the wall was completed, that number two and number seven of the Danite group accidentally discovered a phenomenon attendant upon the liaison of their morontia selves (supposedly nonsexual and nonmaterial); and the result of this adventure proved to be the first of the primary midway creatures. This new being was wholly visible to the planetary staff and to their celestial associates but was not visible to the men and women of the various human tribes. Upon authority of the Planetary Prince the entire corporeal staff undertook the production of similar beings, and all were successful, following the instructions of the pioneer Danite pair. Thus did the Prince’s staff eventually bring into being the original corps of 50,000 primary midwayers.
2014 66:4.10 Držeći se primljenih uputa, pripadnici osoblja se nisu upuštali u seksualnu reprodukciju, premda su pomno proučavali svoju osobnu građu i pažljivo ispitivali svaku moguću fazu svojih intelektualnih (umnih) i morontijalnih (dušinih) odnosa. I tijekom trideset i treće godine njihovog boravka u Dalamaciji, mnogo prije nego što je dovršena izgradnja zida - broj dva i broj sedam iz danitske grupe - su slučajno otkrili učinak stupanja u bliski odnos (navodno neseksualni i nematerijalni) njihovih morontija bića; i ova je pustolovina rezultirala pojavom prvog srednjeg bića iz prvog reda. Ovo novo biće je bilo posve vidljivo planetarnom osoblju i njihovim nebeskim suradnicima, ali je bilo potpuno nevidljivo muškarcima i ženama iz različitih ljudskih plemena. Prema nalogu Planetarnog Kneza, povodeći se prema uputama inicijalnog danitskog para, svo se utjelovljeno osoblje uspješno upustilo u proizvodnju sličnih bića. Tako je Kneževo osoblje s vremenom proizvelo 50,000 srednjih bića iz prvog reda.
1955 66:4.11 These mid-type creatures were of great service in carrying on the affairs of the world’s headquarters. They were invisible to human beings, but the primitive sojourners at Dalamatia were taught about these unseen semispirits, and for ages they constituted the sum total of the spirit world to these evolving mortals.
2014 66:4.11 Ova su se srednja bića pokazala vrlo korisnim pri sprovedbi poslova ovog svjetskog centra. Bili su nevidljivi ljudskim bićima i dok su živjeli u Dalamaciji, primitivni ljudi su naučili o postojanju ovih nevidljivih poluduhova; sa stanovišta evolucijskih smrtnika, srednja bića su stoljećima predstavljala sve što su ljudi znali o svijetu duha.
1955 66:4.12 3. The Caligastia one hundred were personally immortal, or undying. There circulated through their material forms the antidotal complements of the life currents of the system; and had they not lost contact with the life circuits through rebellion, they would have lived on indefinitely until the arrival of a subsequent Son of God, or until their sometime later release to resume the interrupted journey to Havona and Paradise.
2014 66:4.12 3. Kaligastijina stotinka je osobno bila besmrtna; njezini pripadnici nisu doživljavali smrt. Njihovim su materijalnim tijelima kolala protuotrovna sredstva životnih struja sustava; i da radi pobune nisu izgubili kontakt s ovim životnim strujama, mogli su živjeti beskonačno do dolaska Božjeg Sina ili nakon što u budućim dobima steknu slobodu neometanog putovanja na Havonu ili Raj.
1955 66:4.13 These antidotal complements of the Satania life currents were derived from the fruit of the tree of life, a shrub of Edentia which was sent to Urantia by the Most Highs of Norlatiadek at the time of Caligastia’s arrival. In the days of Dalamatia this tree grew in the central courtyard of the temple of the unseen Father, and it was the fruit of the tree of life that enabled the material and otherwise mortal beings of the Prince’s staff to live on indefinitely as long as they had access to it.
2014 66:4.13 Ova protuotrovna nadopuna životnim strujama Satanije dolazi iz ploda drveta života, grmolike biljke porijeklom iz Edentije koju su Svevišnji Norlatiadeka poslali na Urantiju u vrijeme Kaligastijinog dolaska. U Kaligastijino doba, drvo je raslo u centralnom dvorištu hrama neviđenog Oca i zahvaljujući plodu drveta života, Kneževo je ostoblje, koje je inače bilo smrtno i materijalno, bilo je u stanju živjeti dokle god im je drvo bilo na raspolaganju.
1955 66:4.14 While of no value to the evolutionary races, this supersustenance was quite sufficient to confer continuous life upon the Caligastia one hundred and also upon the one hundred modified Andonites who were associated with them.
2014 66:4.14 Premda nije mogla pomoći evolucijskim rasama, ova je superhrana bila dovoljno osiguranje trajnog života Kaligastije i stotine pripadnika njegovog osoblja kao i stotinu modificiranih Andonita koji su s njima surađivali.
1955 66:4.15 It should be explained in this connection that, at the time the one hundred Andonites contributed their human germ plasm to the members of the Prince’s staff, the Life Carriers introduced into their mortal bodies the complement of the system circuits; and thus were they enabled to live on concurrently with the staff, century after century, in defiance of physical death.
2014 66:4.15 U vezi s ovim treba naglasiti da kad je stotinu Andonita dalo mikrobe svoje plazme pripadnicima Kneževog osoblja, Nositelji Života su transplantirali u njihova smrtna tijela materije koje su nadopunjavale tvari sustavnih krugova; i tako su se mogli oduprijeti fizičkoj smrti i živjeti više stoljeća jednako kao što je to bio slučaj s Kneževim osobljem.
1955 66:4.16 Eventually the one hundred Andonites were made aware of their contribution to the new forms of their superiors, and these same one hundred children of the Andon tribes were kept at headquarters as the personal attendants of the Prince’s corporeal staff.
2014 66:4.16 Ovim je andonitima s vremenom objašnjen njihov doprinos novom obličju njihovih nadređenih i tako je ova stotinka primila dopuštenje da ostane na glavnom centru u ulozi pratitelja Kneževog utjelovljenog osoblja.
¶ 5. ORGANIZACIJA STOTINKE
5. ORGANIZATION OF THE ONE HUNDRED
5. ORGANIZACIJA STOTINKE
1955 66:5.1 The one hundred were organized for service in ten autonomous councils of ten members each. When two or more of these ten councils met in joint session, such liaison gatherings were presided over by Daligastia. These ten groups were constituted as follows:
2014 66:5.1 Stotinka je bila organizirana za službu u deset nezavisnih sabora od kojih je svaki imao deset pripadnika. Svaki put kad bi se sastala dva ili preko dva zbora, skupom je predsjedavao Daligastija. Ovih je deset grupa podijeljeno na sljedeći način:
1955 66:5.2 1. The council on food and material welfare. This group was presided over by Ang. Food, water, clothes, and the material advancement of the human species were fostered by this able corps. They taught well digging, spring control, and irrigation. They taught those from the higher altitudes and from the north improved methods of treating skins for use as clothing, and weaving was later introduced by the teachers of art and science.
2014 66:5.2 1. Odbor za hranu i materijalnu dobrobit. Odborom je predsjedavao Ang. Nastojao je unaprijediti kvalitetu hrane, vode, odjeće i materijalnog prosperiteta ljudskog roda. Učio je ljude kopanju bunara, kontroli izvora i navodnjavanju. Ljudima koji su živjeli na sjeveru pokazali su kako se obrađuje i štavi koža pri izradi odjeće, dok su učitelji umjetnosti i znanosti kasnije upoznali ljude s vještinom tkanja.
1955 66:5.3 Great advances were made in methods of food storage. Food was preserved by cooking, drying, and smoking; it thus became the earliest property. Man was taught to provide for the hazards of famine, which periodically decimated the world.
2014 66:5.3 Također su unaprijeđene metode skladištenja hrane. Preservacija je postizana kuhanjem, sušenjem i dimljenjem; hrana je tako postala čovjekova prva imovina. Oni su pokazali čovjeku kako će obezbijediti dovoljnu količinu da se odupre periodima nestašice i gladi koji su porevemeno pustošili svijetom.
1955 66:5.4 2. The board of animal domestication and utilization. This council was dedicated to the task of selecting and breeding those animals best adapted to help human beings in bearing burdens and transporting themselves, to supply food, and later on to be of service in the cultivation of the soil. This able corps was directed by Bon.
2014 66:5.4 2. Odbor za udomaćenje životinja. Ova se grupa posvetila odabiru i ukrštanju životinja koje su bile od najveće koristi ljudskim bićima bilo kao teretne životinje, radi prijevoza ili kao hrana, a u kasnijem razdoblju i radi obrade zemlje. Ovim je vještim odborom upravljao Bon.
1955 66:5.5 Several types of useful animals, now extinct, were tamed, together with some that have continued as domesticated animals to the present day. Man had long lived with the dog, and the blue man had already been successful in taming the elephant. The cow was so improved by careful breeding as to become a valuable source of food; butter and cheese became common articles of human diet. Men were taught to use oxen for burden bearing, but the horse was not domesticated until a later date. The members of this corps first taught men to use the wheel for the facilitation of traction.
2014 66:5.5 Pripitomljeno je više korisnih vrsta životinja koje su nakon ovog razdoblja izumrle, kao i neke koje su i danas u upotrebi. Čovjek je dugo živio s psom, dok je plava rasa već bila pripitomila slona. Zahvaljujući sve naprednijim metodama odabirnog ukrštanja, toliko je unaprijeđena krava da je već postala vrijednim izvorom hrane; putar i sir su postali redovnim dijelom ljudske prehrane. Ljudi su naučili koristiti govedo kao teretnu životinju, dok konj još nije bio pripitomljen. Ovaj je odbor prvi upoznao ljude s korištenjem točka pri prijevozu.
1955 66:5.6 It was in these days that carrier pigeons were first used, being taken on long journeys for the purpose of sending messages or calls for help. Bon’s group were successful in training the great fandors as passenger birds, but they became extinct more than thirty thousand years ago.
2014 66:5.6 Golubovi su u ovo vrijeme prvi put korišteni kao pismonoše i često su slani na duga putovanja da izruče poruke ili pozive u pomoć. Bonova grupa je bila vrlo uspješna u obuci velikih fandora za prijevoz putnika, životinja koje su izumrle prije nešto više od trideset tisuća godina.
1955 66:5.7 3. The advisers regarding the conquest of predatory animals. It was not enough that early man should try to domesticate certain animals, but he must also learn how to protect himself from destruction by the remainder of the hostile animal world. This group was captained by Dan.
2014 66:5.7 3. Odbor za kontrolu divljih životinja. Nije bilo dovoljno da čovjek pokuša pripitomiti određene životinje, već je također bilo bitno ovladati metodama zaštite od neprijateljski raspoloženih divljih životinja. Ovom grupom je predsjedavao Dan.
1955 66:5.8 The purpose of an ancient city wall was to protect against ferocious beasts as well as to prevent surprise attacks by hostile humans. Those living without the walls and in the forest were dependent on tree dwellings, stone huts, and the maintenance of night fires. It was therefore very natural that these teachers should devote much time to instructing their pupils in the improvement of human dwellings. By employing improved techniques and by the use of traps, great progress was made in animal subjugation.
2014 66:5.8 Stare zidine oko gradova pružale su zaštitu od divljih životinja i obranu od iznenadnih napada neprijateljski raspoloženih ljudi. Oni koji su živjeli u šumama i na otvorenom, bez zaštitnih zidina, bili su primorani na gradnju nastambi u drveću, kamenih kućica ili na održavanje noćne straže pored vatre. Bilo je vrlo prirodno što su ovi učitelji posvećivali toliko vremena pouci svojih učenika unaprijeđenju gradnje nastambi. Sve naprednijim metodama i upotrebom zamki čovjek je postupno ovladavao životinjama.
1955 66:5.9 4. The faculty on dissemination and conservation of knowledge. This group organized and directed the purely educational endeavors of those early ages. It was presided over by Fad. The educational methods of Fad consisted in supervision of employment accompanied by instruction in improved methods of labor. Fad formulated the first alphabet and introduced a writing system. This alphabet contained twenty-five characters. For writing material these early peoples utilized tree barks, clay tablets, stone slabs, a form of parchment made of hammered hides, and a crude form of paperlike material made from wasps’ nests. The Dalamatia library, destroyed soon after the Caligastia disaffection, comprised more than two million separate records and was known as the “house of Fad.”
2014 66:5.9 4. Odbor za širenje i očuvanje znanja. Ovom grupom, koja je u ovom ranom razdoblju organizirana isključivo s obrazovnom namjerom, predsjedavao je Fad. Njegove su se obrazovne metode sastojale od kontrole nad zaposlenjem i nastojanja da unaprijedi radne metode. Fad je sročio prvu abecedu i upoznao ljude s pismom. Abeceda se sastojala od dvedeset pet slova. Kao pisaći materijal korištena je kora drveta, glinene i kamene ploče, vrsta pergamenta načinjena od obrađene kože, kao i papirasti materijal načinjen od osinjih gnijezda. Dalamatijska biblioteka koja je uništena nedugo nakon Kaligastijineapostaze, imala je preko dva milijuna zasebnih bilješki i bila je poznata kao "Fadova kuća."
1955 66:5.10 The blue man was partial to alphabet writing and made the greatest progress along such lines. The red man preferred pictorial writing, while the yellow races drifted into the use of symbols for words and ideas, much like those they now employ. But the alphabet and much more was subsequently lost to the world during the confusion attendant upon rebellion. The Caligastia defection destroyed the hope of the world for a universal language, at least for untold ages.
2014 66:5.10 Od svih rasa, plava se s najvećom spremnošću prihvatila pisanja i postigla najveći napredak u ovom smjeru. Crvenoj rasi je više odgovaralo slikovno pismo, dok je žuta počela simbolički izražavati riječi i ideje, uglavnom kako to i danas čini. Ali pored abecede mnogo je drugih stvari izgubljeno u pometnji izazvanoj pobunom. Kaligastijino je izopačenje uništilo nadu za postignuće univerzalnog svjetskog jezika, ako ništa drugo ono za nebrojenog niza stoljeća.
1955 66:5.11 5. The commission on industry and trade. This council was employed in fostering industry within the tribes and in promoting trade between the various peace groups. Its leader was Nod. Every form of primitive manufacture was encouraged by this corps. They contributed directly to the elevation of standards of living by providing many new commodities to attract the fancy of primitive men. They greatly expanded the trade in the improved salt produced by the council on science and art.
2014 66:5.11 5. Odbor industrije i trgovine. Ova je grupa nastojala učiti plemena razvoju industrije i unaprijeđenju trgovinskih odnosa među različitim miroljubivim grupama. Njome je predsjedavao Nod. Nastojala je potaći svaki oblik primitivne proizvodnje. Neposredno je doprinjelaunaprijeđenju životnog standarda tako što je primitivnom čovjeku predstavila mnoge privlačne udobnosti. Bitno je unaprijedila kupoprodaju soli koju je proizvodio odbor znanosti i umjetnosti.
1955 66:5.12 It was among these enlightened groups educated in the Dalamatia schools that the first commercial credit was practiced. From a central exchange of credits they secured tokens which were accepted in lieu of the actual objects of barter. The world did not improve upon these business methods for hundreds of thousands of years.
2014 66:5.12 Među ovim prosvjetljenim grupama koje su obrazovane u dalamatijskim školama, po prvi put je upotrijebljen komercijalni predmet razmjene. Centralna komora je izdavala komercijalne bonove koji su korišteni kao predmet razmjene. Stotinama tisuća godina svijet nije uspio unaprijediti ove metode poslovanja.
1955 66:5.13 6. The college of revealed religion. This body was slow in functioning. Urantia civilization was literally forged out between the anvil of necessity and the hammers of fear. But this group had made considerable progress in their attempt to substitute Creator fear for creature fear (ghost worship) before their labors were interrupted by the later confusion attendant upon the secession upheaval. The head of this council was Hap.
2014 66:5.13 6. Odbor obznanjene religije. Ova škola nije odmah počela djelovati. Na Urantiji, civilizacija je doslovce iskovana čekićma straha na nakovnju nužde. Ali ova grupa je postigla značajniji napredak u svom nastojanju da navede čovjeka da zamijeni strahovanje od Stvoritelja strahovanjem od stvorenog bića (poštovanjem duhova); njihova su nastojanja osujećena pometnjom otcjepljenja. Grupom je upravljao Hap.
1955 66:5.14 None of the Prince’s staff would present revelation to complicate evolution; they presented revelation only as the climax of their exhaustion of the forces of evolution. But Hap did yield to the desire of the inhabitants of the city for the establishment of a form of religious service. His group provided the Dalamatians with the seven chants of worship and also gave them the daily praise-phrase and eventually taught them “the Father’s prayer,” which was:
2014 66:5.14 Kneževo osoblje nije željelo zakomplicirati evoluciju predočenjem otkrivenja; otkrivenje može biti predočeno jedino nakon što evolucijske sile dosegnu vrhunac razvoja. Ali kako je želio udovoljiti želji mnogih Dalamaćana koji su tražili neki oblik religiozne službe, njegova je grupa predstavila sedam napjeva, kratkih molitvi za svakodnevnu upotrebu i vremenom je ljude naučila "Očevoj molitvi" koja je glasila:
1955 66:5.15 “Father of all, whose Son we honor, look down upon us with favor. Deliver us from the fear of all save you. Make us a pleasure to our divine teachers and forever put truth on our lips. Deliver us from violence and anger; give us respect for our elders and that which belongs to our neighbors. Give us this season green pastures and fruitful flocks to gladden our hearts. We pray for the hastening of the coming of the promised uplifter, and we would do your will on this world as others do on worlds beyond.”
2014 66:5.15 "Oče sviju, čijeg Sina poštujemo, daj nam svoju naklonost. Izruči nas od straha od sviju osim tebe. Neka donesemo radost našim božanskim učiteljima i neka naše riječi uvijek budu istina. Izruči nas od nasilja i ljutnje; daj nam poštovanje prema starijima i prema imovini naših susjeda. Daj nam zelene pašnjake i plodna stada, na radost našim srcima. Molimo za skori dolazak obećanog uzvisitelja i želimo činiti tvoju volju na ovom svijetu kao što je drugi vrše na svjetovima poslije ovoga."
1955 66:5.16 Although the Prince’s staff were limited to natural means and ordinary methods of race improvement, they held out the promise of the Adamic gift of a new race as the goal of subsequent evolutionary growth upon the attainment of the height of biologic development.
2014 66:5.16 Premda se Kneževo osoblje nije moglo poslužiti prirodnim sredstvima i uobičajenim metodama rasnog unaprijeđenja, obećali su ljudima adamički dar nove rase kao cilj budućeg evolucijskog razvoja nakon što svijet dostigne vrhunac biološkog razvoja.
1955 66:5.17 7. The guardians of health and life. This council was concerned with the introduction of sanitation and the promotion of primitive hygiene and was led by Lut.
2014 66:5.17 7. Čuvari zdravlja i života. Ovo je vijeće upoznalo ljude sa sanitarnim mjerama i unaprijedilo primitivnu higijenu; njime je predsjedavao Lut.
1955 66:5.18 Its members taught much that was lost during the confusion of subsequent ages, never to be rediscovered until the twentieth century. They taught mankind that cooking, boiling and roasting, was a means of avoiding sickness; also that such cooking greatly reduced infant mortality and facilitated early weaning.
2014 66:5.18 Veliki je dio predmeta obuke u ovim školama izgubljen za vrijeme narednih stoljeća i nije nanovo otkriven sve do dvadesetog stoljeća. Pokazali su ljudima kako se kuhanjem, prokuhavanjem i pečenjem mogu izbjeći mnoga oboljenja i umanjiti smrtnost novorođenčadi; učili su da kuhana hrana može pomoći majkama da ranije prestanu dojiti.
1955 66:5.19 Many of the early teachings of Lut’s guardians of health persisted among the tribes of earth on down to the days of Moses, even though they became much garbled and were greatly changed.
2014 66:5.19 Mnoga su se ranija učenja Lutove grupe koja je nastojala povisiti zdravstvene mjere očuvala među plemenima sve do Mojsija, premda su uveliko zbrkana i bitno izmijenjena.
1955 66:5.20 The great obstacle in the way of promoting hygiene among these ignorant peoples consisted in the fact that the real causes of many diseases were too small to be seen by the naked eye, and also because they all held fire in superstitious regard. It required thousands of years to persuade them to burn refuse. In the meantime they were urged to bury their decaying rubbish. The great sanitary advance of this epoch came from the dissemination of knowledge regarding the health-giving and disease-destroying properties of sunlight.
2014 66:5.20 Veliku teškoću pri njihovom nastojanju da unaprijede higijenske mjere ovih primitivnih naroda predstavljala je činjenica da su istinski uzroci bolesti bili suviše maleni kako bio se mogli vidjeti golim okom, kao i čovjekovo sujevjerno poštovanje vatre. Jedino su nakon više tisuća godina uspjeli navesti ljude da počnu spaljivati otpatke. U međuvremenu, nagovarali su ih da zakopaju gnjilo smeće. Sanitarne mjere su uveliko unaprijeđene kad su ljudi naučili kako sunčeva svjetlost uništava bolesti i poboljšava zdravlje.
1955 66:5.21 Before the Prince’s arrival, bathing had been an exclusively religious ceremonial. It was indeed difficult to persuade primitive men to wash their bodies as a health practice. Lut finally induced the religious teachers to include cleansing with water as a part of the purification ceremonies to be practiced in connection with the noontime devotions, once a week, in the worship of the Father of all.
2014 66:5.21 Prije Kneževog dolaska ljudi su posmatrali kupanje kao isključivo religioznu ceremoniju. Bilo je vrlo teško natjerati primitivnog čovjeka da se počne kupati u cilju očuvanja zdravlja. Lut je na koncu potakao religiozne učitelje da uvedu pranje kao obred pročišćenja koji je postao dijelom religiozne ceremonije koja je prakticirana jednom tjedno, u znak poštovanja Oca svih.
1955 66:5.22 These guardians of health also sought to introduce handshaking in substitution for saliva exchange or blood drinking as a seal of personal friendship and as a token of group loyalty. But when out from under the compelling pressure of the teachings of their superior leaders, these primitive peoples were not slow in reverting to their former health-destroying and disease-breeding practices of ignorance and superstition.
2014 66:5.22 Ovo je vijeće očuvanja zdravlja uvelo rukovanje u znak osobnog prijateljstva i plemenske odanosti na mjesto starog običaja razmjene pljuvačke i pijenja krvi. Ali tek što su se oslobodili pritiska svojih nadmoćnih učitelja, ovim primitivnim narodima nije dugo trebalo da se vrate svojim neukim sujevjemim radnjama koje su škodile zdravlju i pogodovale razvoju bolesti.
1955 66:5.23 8. The planetary council on art and science. This corps did much to improve the industrial technique of early man and to elevate his concepts of beauty. Their leader was Mek.
2014 66:5.23 8. Znanstveno-umjetničko planetarno vijeće. Ova je grupa uveliko unaprijedila industrijske vještine ranih ljudi i uzvisila njihove predodžbe ljepote. Njihov vođa je bio Mek.
1955 66:5.24 Art and science were at a low ebb throughout the world, but the rudiments of physics and chemistry were taught the Dalamatians. Pottery was advanced, decorative arts were all improved, and the ideals of human beauty were greatly enhanced. But music made little progress until after the arrival of the violet race.
2014 66:5.24 Dok su u ovom razdoblju umjetnost i znanost cijelog svijeta bile na vrlo niskom nivou, u Dalamaciji su držana predavanja o osnovama fizike i kemije. Unaprijedili su lončarstvo i dekorativne umjetnosti i uzvisili ljudsko poimanje ljepote, premda je sve do dolaska ljubičaste rase glazba tek neznatno unaprijeđena.
1955 66:5.25 These primitive men would not consent to experiment with steam power, notwithstanding the repeated urgings of their teachers; never could they overcome their great fear of the explosive power of confined steam. They were, however, finally persuaded to work with metals and fire, although a piece of red-hot metal was a terrorizing object to early man.
2014 66:5.25 Unatoč pritiska svojih učitelja, ovi se primitivni ljudi nisu htjeli upustiti u eksperimentiranje s vodenom parom; nisu bili u stanju prevazići strah od eksplozivne moći pare. I pored toga, pristali su naučiti vještinu kovanja, premda su se nasmrt bojali užarenog metala.
1955 66:5.26 Mek did a great deal to advance the culture of the Andonites and to improve the art of the blue man. A blend of the blue man with the Andon stock produced an artistically gifted type, and many of them became master sculptors. They did not work in stone or marble, but their works of clay, hardened by baking, adorned the gardens of Dalamatia.
2014 66:5.26 Mek je bitno unaprijedio andoničku kulturu i umjetnost plave rase. Mješavina plave rase i andonita je bila izuzetno umjetnički obdarena i mnogi su postali odlični kipari. Premda nisu koristili kamen ili mramor, pravili su kipove od pečene gline koji su krasili vrtove Dalamacije.
1955 66:5.27 Great progress was made in the home arts, most of which were lost in the long and dark ages of rebellion, never to be rediscovered until modern times.
2014 66:5.27 Veliki napredak u oblasti domaćih umjetnosti izgubljen je u toku dugih i tamnih stoljeća koja su pratila pobunu i ovaj gubitak nije nadoknađen sve do suvremenog doba.
1955 66:5.28 9. The governors of advanced tribal relations. This was the group intrusted with the work of bringing human society up to the level of statehood. Their chief was Tut.
2014 66:5.28 9. Grupa zadužena za unaprijeđenje plemenskih odnosa. Ovoj je grupi povjereno podizanje ljudskog društvenog uređenja do razine države. Njihov vođa je bio Tut.
1955 66:5.29 These leaders contributed much to bringing about intertribal marriages. They fostered courtship and marriage after due deliberation and full opportunity to become acquainted. The purely military war dances were refined and made to serve valuable social ends. Many competitive games were introduced, but these ancient folk were a serious people; little humor graced these early tribes. Few of these practices survived the subsequent disintegration of planetary insurrection.
2014 66:5.29 Ove vođe su učinile značajan doprinos u smjeru unaprijeđenja međuplemenskih brakova. Promicali su ideju da prije braka dvoje ljudi trebaju dobiti priliku da se upoznju i da se oboje trebaju složiti da uđu u brak. Borbeni plesovi su izmienjeni i učinjeni nešto otmjenijim kako bi poslužili vrijednim društvenim ciljevima. Ljudi su upoznati s mnogim natjecateljskim igrama, ali su po prirodi bili vrlo ozbiljni; ova rana plemena nisu imala smisla za humor. Očuvan je jedino mali broj ovih običaja nakon disintegracije prilikom plentame pobune.
1955 66:5.30 Tut and his associates labored to promote group associations of a peaceful nature, to regulate and humanize warfare, to co-ordinate intertribal relations, and to improve tribal governments. In the vicinity of Dalamatia there developed a more advanced culture, and these improved social relations were very helpful in influencing more remote tribes. But the pattern of civilization prevailing at the Prince’s headquarters was quite different from the barbaric society evolving elsewhere, just as the twentieth-century society of Capetown, South Africa, is totally unlike the crude culture of the diminutive Bushmen to the north.
2014 66:5.30 Tut je sa svojim suradnicima nastojao unaprijediti miroljubive plemenske odnose, kontrolirati i humanizirati metode ratovanja, koordinirati međuplemenske odnose i unaprijediti plemensku upravu. U okolini Dalamacije razvila se naprednija kultura i ovi su se unaprijeđeni društveni odnosi pokazali vrlo korisnim u pogledu utjecaja na daleka plemena. Međutim, civilizacijsko uređenje Kneževog centra uveliko se razlikovalo od barbarskog društva na drugim lokacijama, onako kako se suvremeno društvo u Capetownu u Južnoj Africi posve razlikuje od grube kulture patuljastih Bušmana na sjeveru.
1955 66:5.31 10. The supreme court of tribal co-ordination and racial co-operation. This supreme council was directed by Van and was the court of appeals for all of the other nine special commissions charged with the supervision of human affairs. This council was one of wide function, being intrusted with all matters of earthly concern which were not specifically assigned to the other groups. This selected corps had been approved by the Constellation Fathers of Edentia before they were authorized to assume the functions of the supreme court of Urantia.
2014 66:5.31 10. Vrhovni sud plemenske koordinacije i rasne kooperacije. Ovim vrhovnim vijećem je upravljao Van. Rješavalo je sporna pitanja svih devet specijalnih komisija koje su nadgledale razvoj ljudskog roda. Ovo vijeće je imao širok raspon djelovanja, kako su mu bila povjerena sva planetarna pitanja kojima se nisu naročito bavile druge grupe. Ovo je odabrano vijeće primilo autorizaciju od Očeva Zviježđa Edentije prije nego što im je data uprava nad vrhovnim sudom Urantije.
¶ 6. KNEŽEVA VLAST
6. THE PRINCE’S REIGN
6. KNEŽEVA VLAST
1955 66:6.1 The degree of a world’s culture is measured by the social heritage of its native beings, and the rate of cultural expansion is wholly determined by the ability of its inhabitants to comprehend new and advanced ideas.
2014 66:6.1 Društvena baština žitelja određenog svijeta govori o stupnju svjetskog kulturnog razvoja, dok sposobnost ovih žitelja da shvate nove i naprednije ideje određuje stopu svjetske kulturne ekspanzije.
1955 66:6.2 Slavery to tradition produces stability and co-operation by sentimentally linking the past with the present, but it likewise stifles initiative and enslaves the creative powers of the personality. The whole world was caught in the stalemate of tradition-bound mores when the Caligastia one hundred arrived and began the proclamation of the new gospel of individual initiative within the social groups of that day. But this beneficent rule was so soon interrupted that the races never have been wholly liberated from the slavery of custom; fashion still unduly dominates Urantia.
2014 66:6.2 Dok slijepo povinovanje tradiciji vodi stabilnosti i kooperaciji sentimentalnim povezivanjem prošlosti i sadašnjosti, prekomjerna tradicionalnost sputava poduzetništvo i podjarmljuje stvaralačke moći individualne ličnosti. Kad su Kaligastija i stotinka stigli na Urantiju i počeli promicati novo evanđelje individualnog poduzetništva u ondašnjim društvenim grupama, cijeli je svijet bio zaokupljen neprogresivnim poštovanjem tradicije. Ali kako je ova blagotvorna uprava uskoro poremećena, ljudi se nikada nisu posve oslobodili robovanja običaju; žalosno je vidjeti kako društvene norme još uvijek dominiraju Urantijom.
1955 66:6.3 The Caligastia one hundred—graduates of the Satania mansion worlds—well knew the arts and culture of Jerusem, but such knowledge is nearly valueless on a barbaric planet populated by primitive humans. These wise beings knew better than to undertake the sudden transformation, or the en masse uplifting, of the primitive races of that day. They well understood the slow evolution of the human species, and they wisely refrained from any radical attempts at modifying man’s mode of life on earth.
2014 66:6.3 Pripadnici Kaligastijine stotinke - diplomci mnogih svjetova Satanije - su dobro poznavali kulturi Jeruzema, ali ovo je znanje bilo gotovo bezvrijedno na barbarskom planetu primitivnih ljudi. Ova su mudra bića dobro postupila kad su odlučila da neće pokušati poduzeti tako iznenadnu preinaku i sveopće unaprijeđenje ondašnjih primitivnih rasa. Dobro su znali da ljudska vrsta prolazi vrlo polaganom evolucijom, te su mudro odustali od bilo kakvih nastojanja da korjenito izmijene čovjekov život na zemlji.
1955 66:6.4 Each of the ten planetary commissions set about slowly and naturally to advance the interests intrusted to them. Their plan consisted in attracting the best minds of the surrounding tribes and, after training them, sending them back to their people as emissaries of social uplift.
2014 66:6.4 Svaka je od deset planetarnih komisija nastojala unaprijediti interese koje su zastupali koristeći se jedino polaganim i prirodnim metodama. Planirali su da privuku najbolje umove iz obližnjih plemena, da ih obuče i pošalju njihovim narodima kao ambasadore društvenog unaprijeđenja.
1955 66:6.5 Foreign emissaries were never sent to a race except upon the specific request of that people. Those who labored for the uplift and advancement of a given tribe or race were always natives of that tribe or race. The one hundred would not attempt to impose the habits and mores of even a superior race upon another tribe. Always they patiently worked to uplift and advance the time-tried mores of each race. The simple folk of Urantia brought their social customs to Dalamatia, not to exchange them for new and better practices, but to have them uplifted by contact with a higher culture and by association with superior minds. The process was slow but very effectual.
2014 66:6.5 Strani poslanici su slani jedino po zahtjevu određenog naroda. Unaprijeđenjem i poboljšanjem bilo kojeg plemena ili rase uvijek su se bavili ljudi koji su iz njega potekli. Stotinka nije željela nametnuti određenom plemenu običaje i pravila ponašanja naprednijih rasa. Uvijek su strpljivo nastojali unaprijediti i poboljšati zaostale i staromodne običaje određene rase. Priprosti svijet Urantije je dolazio u Dalamaciju ne kako bi zamijenio svoje društvene običaje za novije i bolje, već kako bi unaprijedio vlastite običaje kroz kontakt s višom kulturom i naprednijim umovima. Proces je bio spor ali jako djelotvoran.
1955 66:6.6 The Dalamatia teachers sought to add conscious social selection to the purely natural selection of biologic evolution. They did not derange human society, but they did markedly accelerate its normal and natural evolution. Their motive was progression by evolution and not revolution by revelation. The human race had spent ages in acquiring the little religion and morals it had, and these supermen knew better than to rob mankind of these few advances by the confusion and dismay which always result when enlightened and superior beings undertake to uplift the backward races by overteaching and overenlightenment.
2014 66:6.6 Dalamacijski učitelji su nastojali dodati svjesnu društvenu selekciju povrh posve prirodne selekcije koja je bila dio biološke evolucije. Nisu izobličili ljudsko društvo, premda su značajno ubrzali njegovu normalnu i prirodnu evoluciju. Vodili su se prema motivu napretka putem evolucije, a ne revolucije putem otkrivenja. Kroz mnoga stoljeća, ljudi su uspjeli steći malo religije i morala i ovi nadljudi su znali da nije bilo mudro pokušati oduzeti čovječanstvu onih par uspjeha koje su sami postigli i stvoriti zbrku i konsternaciju pri nastojanju prosvjetljenih i nadmoćnih bića da unaprijede nazadne rase prekomjernim učenjem i prosvjetljenjem.
1955 66:6.7 When Christian missionaries go into the heart of Africa, where sons and daughters are supposed to remain under the control and direction of their parents throughout the lifetime of the parents, they only bring about confusion and the breakdown of all authority when they seek, in a single generation, to supplant this practice by teaching that these children should be free from all parental restraint after they have attained the age of twenty-one.
2014 66:6.7 Kad kršćanski poslanici idu u srce Afrike, gdje je običaj da djeca ostanu pod upravom i nadzorom svojih roditelja za cijelog svog života, ovi misionari jedino izazivaju zbrku i poremećaj utemeljenog sustava kad nastoje u jednoj generaciji ukinuti ovaj običaj i na njegovo mjesto postaviti ideju da djeca trebaju biti oslobođena roditeljske kontrole u njihovoj dvadeset prvoj godini.
¶ 7. ŽIVOT U DALAMACIJI
7. LIFE IN DALAMATIA
7. ŽIVOT U DALAMACIJI
1955 66:7.1 The Prince’s headquarters, though exquisitely beautiful and designed to awe the primitive men of that age, was altogether modest. The buildings were not especially large as it was the motive of these imported teachers to encourage the eventual development of agriculture through the introduction of animal husbandry. The land provision within the city walls was sufficient to provide for pasturage and gardening for the support of a population of about twenty thousand.
2014 66:7.1 Premda je svojom ljepotom i dizajnom izazivao divljenje primitivnih ljudi ovog doba, Knežev je centar ustvari bio vrlo skroman. Građevine nisu bile naročito velike, kako su ovi vanzemaljski učitelji planirali potaći razvoj zemljoradnje tako što će upoznati ljude sa uzgojem životinja. U okviru gradskih zidina bilo je dovoljno prostora za pašnjake i vrtove koji su mogli obezbijediti hranu za nekih dvadeset tisuća žitelja.
1955 66:7.2 The interiors of the central temple of worship and the ten council mansions of the supervising groups of supermen were indeed beautiful works of art. And while the residential buildings were models of neatness and cleanliness, everything was very simple and altogether primitive in comparison with later-day developments. At this headquarters of culture no methods were employed which did not naturally belong on Urantia.
2014 66:7.2 Unutrašnjost centralnog hrama, kao i zgrade u kojima je bilo smješteno deset vijeća nadzornih nadljudskih grupa predstavljali su prava umjetnička djela. Dok su rezidencijalne nastambe bile pravi primjer urednosti i čistoće, sve je bilo vrlo jednostavno i nadasve primitivno u usporedbi s kasnijim građevinama. U ovom kulturnom centru nije korištena ni jedna metoda koja nije prirodno pripadala Urantiji.
1955 66:7.3 The Prince’s corporeal staff presided over simple and exemplary abodes which they maintained as homes designed to inspire and favorably impress the student observers sojourning at the world’s social center and educational headquarters.
2014 66:7.3 Kneževo utjelovljeno osoblje je živjelo u jednostavnim i uzornim građevinama i vlastitim su primjerom željeli nadahnuti i dojmiti svoje studente u ovom svjetskom društvenom i obrazovnom centru da razviju sličan ukus.
1955 66:7.4 The definite order of family life and the living of one family together in one residence of comparatively settled location date from these times of Dalamatia and were chiefly due to the example and teachings of the one hundred and their pupils. The home as a social unit never became a success until the supermen and superwomen of Dalamatia led mankind to love and plan for their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s children. Savage man loves his child, but civilized man loves also his grandchild.
2014 66:7.4 Jasno utvrđena struktura obitelji i stacionaran obiteljski život datiraju iz dalamatijskog perioda i najvećim dijelom ih treba zahvaliti uzoru i učenjima stotinke i njihovih učenika. Obiteljska društvena zajednica nije počela uspješno djelovati sve dok ovi nadljudi, muškarci i žene, nisu pokazali ljudima kako čovjek treba voljeti svoje unuke i praunuke i obezbijediti sve što im je potrebno. Primitivni čovjek voli svoje dijete, dok cizilizirani čovjek voli i svoju unučad
[2].
1955 66:7.5 The Prince’s staff lived together as fathers and mothers. True, they had no children of their own, but the fifty pattern homes of Dalamatia never sheltered less than five hundred adopted little ones assembled from the superior families of the Andonic and Sangik races; many of these children were orphans. They were favored with the discipline and training of these superparents; and then, after three years in the schools of the Prince (they entered from thirteen to fifteen), they were eligible for marriage and ready to receive their commissions as emissaries of the Prince to the needy tribes of their respective races.
2014 66:7.5 Pripadnici Kneževog osoblja su živjeli zajedno kao očevi i majke. Istina, nisu imali vlastitu djecu, premda je njihovih pedeset domova služilo kao uzor i pružalo dom i zaštitu velikom broju djece, nikada manje od pet stotina, koja su usvojena iz nadmoćihadamičkih i sangiških rasa; mnoga djeca su bila siročad. Imali su odličnu priliku da steknu disciplinu i obuku od ovih nadljudskih roditelja; poslije toga, nakon tri godine u Kneževim školama (pohađali su nastavu od trinaeste do petnaeste godine), stizali su u godine kad su mogli stupiti u brak i postati Kneževi poslanici svojim rasama.
1955 66:7.6 Fad sponsored the Dalamatia plan of teaching that was carried out as an industrial school in which the pupils learned by doing, and through which they worked their way by the daily performance of useful tasks. This plan of education did not ignore thinking and feeling in the development of character; but it gave first place to manual training. The instruction was individual and collective. The pupils were taught by both men and women and by the two acting conjointly. One half of this group instruction was by sexes; the other half was coeducational. Students were taught manual dexterity as individuals and were socialized in groups or classes. They were trained to fraternize with younger groups, older groups, and adults, as well as to do teamwork with those of their own ages. They were also familiarized with such associations as family groups, play squads, and school classes.
2014 66:7.6 Fad je bio pokrovitelj dalamatijskog obrazovnog plana koji je sproveden u djelo u vidu industrijske škole u kojoj su učenici stjecali znanje praktičnim radom i svakodnevnim obavljanjem korisnih zadataka. Ovaj je obrazovni plan poticao razmišljanje i osjećanje u procesu karakternog razvoja, dok je prednost davana praktičom ručnom radu. Obuka je bila individualna i kolektivna. Učitelji su bili muškarci i žene koji su uvijek radili u parovima. U pola programa učenici su bili podjeljeni prema spolu, dok su u pola obučavani zajedno. Pojedinačno su stjecali vještinu i spretnost, dok su grupno stjecali društvene vještine. Naučili su se družiti s mlađom i starijom djecom kao i odraslim osobama, te surađivati sa svojim vršnjacima. Također su upoznati s djelovanjem obiteljskih grupa, zabavnih grupa i školskih grupa.
1955 66:7.7 Among the later students trained in Mesopotamia for work with their respective races were Andonites from the highlands of western India together with representatives of the red men and the blue men; still later a small number of the yellow race were also received.
2014 66:7.7 Među kasnijim učenicima koji su primili obuku u Mezopotamijskim školama i koji su ponijeli ova učenja svojim rasama, bili su Andoniti iz visinskih oblasni zapadne Indije i predstavnici crvene i plave rase; u skorijem razdoblju primljen je manji broj pripadnika žute rase.
1955 66:7.8 Hap presented the early races with a moral law. This code was known as “The Father’s Way” and consisted of the following seven commands:
2014 66:7.8 Hap je upoznao ove rane rase s moralnim zakonom. Sročio je zakonik poznat po imenu "Očev put" koji se sastojao od sljedećih zapovijedi:
1955 66:7.10 2. You shall not disobey the Father’s Son, the world’s ruler, nor show disrespect to his superhuman associates.
1955 66:7.11 3. You shall not speak a lie when called before the judges of the people.
1955 66:7.12 4. You shall not kill men, women, or children.
1955 66:7.13 5. You shall not steal your neighbor’s goods or cattle.
1955 66:7.14 6. You shall not touch your friend’s wife.
1955 66:7.15 7. You shall not show disrespect to your parents or to the elders of the tribe.
1955 66:7.16 This was the law of Dalamatia for almost three hundred thousand years. And many of the stones on which this law was inscribed now lie beneath the waters off the shores of Mesopotamia and Persia. It became the custom to hold one of these commands in mind for each day of the week, using it for salutations and mealtime thanksgiving.
2014 66:7.16 Zakonik je služio kao zakon Dalamacije gotovo tri stotine tisuća godina. I mnoge kamene ploče na koje je ovaj zakon uklesan sada leže pod površinom vode, u priobalnim oblastima Mezopotamije i Perzije. Ljudi su se imali običaj svakog dana sjetiti jedne zapovijedi i koristiti je kao pozdrav ili molitvu zahvalnicu prilikom jela.
1955 66:7.17 The time measurement of these days was the lunar month, this period being reckoned as twenty-eight days. That, with the exception of day and night, was the only time reckoning known to the early peoples. The seven-day week was introduced by the Dalamatia teachers and grew out of the fact that seven was one fourth of twenty-eight. The significance of the number seven in the superuniverse undoubtedly afforded them opportunity to introduce a spiritual reminder into the common reckoning of time. But there is no natural origin for the weekly period.
2014 66:7.17 U ovo doba je korišten lunarni kalendar, prema kojem mjesec ima dvadeset osam dana. Pored mjena dana i noći, ovo je predstavljalo jedinu vremensku računicu ovog ranog razdoblja. Tjedan od sedam dana su uveli dalamatijski učitelji zbog toga što ovaj broj odgovara jednoj četvrtini mjeseca od dvadeset osam dana. Činjenica da ovaj broj igra bitnu ulogu u numerologijinadsvemira nesumnjivo je pružila priliku da se duhovna učenja načine dijelom svakodnevne računice vremena. To što tjedan ima sedam dana nije utemeljeno ni na kakvim prirodnim principima.
1955 66:7.18 The country around the city was quite well settled within a radius of one hundred miles. Immediately surrounding the city, hundreds of graduates of the Prince’s schools engaged in animal husbandry and otherwise carried out the instruction they had received from his staff and their numerous human helpers. A few engaged in agriculture and horticulture.
2014 66:7.18 U poluprečniku od oko stotinu šezdeset kilometara, u području oko gradskih zidina, živio je veliki broj ljudi. U neposrednoj blizini zidina, više stotina diplomiranih učenika Kneževih škola bavilo se stočarstvom ili je na druge načine praktično koristilo obuku koju su primili od njegovog osoblja i njihovih mnogobrojnih asistenata. Manji broj se bavio poljoprivredom i vrtlarstvom.
1955 66:7.19 Mankind was not consigned to agricultural toil as the penalty of supposed sin. “In the sweat of your face shall you eat the fruit of the fields” was not a sentence of punishment pronounced because of man’s participation in the follies of the Lucifer rebellion under the leadership of the traitorous Caligastia. The cultivation of the soil is inherent in the establishment of an advancing civilization on the evolutionary worlds, and this injunction was the center of all teaching of the Planetary Prince and his staff throughout the three hundred thousand years which intervened between their arrival on Urantia and those tragic days when Caligastia threw in his lot with the rebel Lucifer. Work with the soil is not a curse; rather is it the highest blessing to all who are thus permitted to enjoy the most human of all human activities.
2014 66:7.19 Čovječanstvo nije bilo primorano pribjeći poljoprivredi u ime kazne za tobožnji grijeh. "U znoju lica svoga plodove zemlje ćeš jesti," ne predstavlja kaznu za čovjekovo sudjelovanje u nepromišljenim djelima vezanim za Luciferovu pobunu koja se odigrala pod vodstvom izdajnika Kaligastije[10]. Na evolucijskim svjetovima obrada zemlje predstavlja dio procesa uspostave napredne civilizacije i ova ideja počiva u biti cijelog obrazovnog programa Planetarnog Kneza i njegovog osoblja tijekom tri stotine tisuća godina koje su proveli na Urantiji, od dolaska na Urantiju do tragičnog dana kad je Kaligastija odlučio okušati sreću s pobunjenikom Luciferom. Obrada zemlje nije prokletstvo; ona je prije najveći blagoslov svima koji su na taj način mogli uživati u čovjekovoj najčovječnijoj aktivnosti.
1955 66:7.20 At the outbreak of the rebellion, Dalamatia had a resident population of almost six thousand. This number includes the regular students but does not embrace the visitors and observers, who always numbered more than one thousand. But you can have little or no concept of the marvelous progress of those faraway times; practically all of the wonderful human gains of those days were wiped out by the horrible confusion and abject spiritual darkness which followed the Caligastia catastrophe of deception and sedition.
2014 66:7.20 Na samom početku pobune, u Dalamaciji je živjelo nešto manje od šest tisuća ljudi. Ovo je ubrajalo redovne studente, ali nije ubrajalo posjetitelje i posmatrače, kojih je uvijek bilo više od tisuću. Teško da si možete predočiti značaj i veličinu napretka koji je postignut u ova pradavna vremena; praktično sve veličanstvene stvari koje su ljudska bića stekla u ovo vrijeme nestale su za vrijeme užasne pometnje i velike duhovne tamekoja je uslijedila nakon katastrofe izazvane Kaligastijinom obmanom i otcjepljenjem.
¶ 8. KALIGASTIJINA NESREĆNA KOB
8. MISFORTUNES OF CALIGASTIA
8. KALIGASTIJINA NESREĆNA KOB
1955 66:8.1 In looking back over the long career of Caligastia, we find only one outstanding feature of his conduct that might have challenged attention; he was ultraindividualistic. He was inclined to take sides with almost every party of protest, and he was usually sympathetic with those who gave mild expression to implied criticism. We detect the early appearance of this tendency to be restless under authority, to mildly resent all forms of supervision. While slightly resentful of senior counsel and somewhat restive under superior authority, nonetheless, whenever a test had come, he had always proved loyal to the universe rulers and obedient to the mandates of the Constellation Fathers. No real fault was ever found in him up to the time of his shameful betrayal of Urantia.
2014 66:8.1 Ako pogledamo njegov dugi život, možemo naći samo jednu bitnu crtu Kaligastijinog karaktera koja privlači pažnju; bio je superindivualističan. Ispoljavao je tendenciju da se pridruži gotovo svakoj grupi koja je izražavala protest i uglavnom je simpatizirao s onima koji su ispoljavali određeni kriticizam. Rano je počeo pokazivati nemir kad se našao pod tuđim nadzorom, tendenciju da se blago odupre svakom obliku nadzora. Dok je s negodovanjem primao savjet starješina i dok je bio nemiran i samovoljan pod višom upravom, kad god je bio suočen s testom, uvijek se pokazao odan kozmičkim vlastima i pokoran nalozima Očeva Zviježđa. Nikada nije počinio stvarnu grešku, sve do dana kad je sramno izdao Urantiju.
1955 66:8.2 It should be noted that both Lucifer and Caligastia had been patiently instructed and lovingly warned respecting their critical tendencies and the subtle development of their pride of self and its associated exaggeration of the feeling of self-importance. But all of these attempts to help had been misconstrued as unwarranted criticism and as unjustified interference with personal liberties. Both Caligastia and Lucifer judged their friendly advisers as being actuated by the very reprehensible motives which were beginning to dominate their own distorted thinking and misguided planning. They judged their unselfish advisers by their own evolving selfishness.
2014 66:8.2 Treba naglasiti da su i Luciferu i Kaligastiji nježno i pažljivo predočene njihove kritične tendencije i suptilan ponos koji je vodio porastu osjećaja vlastite važnosti. Ali sva ova nastojanja da im se pomogne protumačena su kao neopravdan kriticizam i narušavanje njihovih osobnih prava. Kaligastija i Lucifer su sudili svojim prijateljski naklonjenim savjetnicima prema upravo onim prijekornim motivima koji su sve više dominirali njihovim vlastitim izopačenim mislima i zavedenim planovima. Sudili su svojim nesebičnim savjetnicima sa stanovišta svoje sve veće sebičnosti.
1955 66:8.3 From the arrival of Prince Caligastia, planetary civilization progressed in a fairly normal manner for almost three hundred thousand years. Aside from being a life-modification sphere and therefore subject to numerous irregularities and unusual episodes of evolutionary fluctuation, Urantia progressed very satisfactorily in its planetary career up to the times of the Lucifer rebellion and the concurrent Caligastia betrayal. All subsequent history has been definitely modified by this catastrophic blunder as well as by the later failure of Adam and Eve to fulfill their planetary mission.
2014 66:8.3 Od dolaska Kneza Kaligastije, planetarna civilizacija je prilično normalno napredovala kroz gotovo tri stotine tisuća godina. Osim što je bila planet modifikacije života i mnogih neregularnih i neobičnih događaja, Urantija je nastavila uspješno napredovati sve do Luciferove pobune i naknadne Kaligastijine izdaje. Na sve kasnije događaje koji su se odigrali na Urantiji značajno je utjecala ova katastrofalna greška kao i kasniji neuspjeh Adama i Eve da ostvare svoju planetarnu misiju.
1955 66:8.4 The Prince of Urantia went into darkness at the time of the Lucifer rebellion, thus precipitating the long confusion of the planet. He was subsequently deprived of sovereign authority by the co-ordinate action of the constellation rulers and other universe authorities. He shared the inevitable vicissitudes of isolated Urantia down to the time of Adam’s sojourn on the planet and contributed something to the miscarriage of the plan to uplift the mortal races through the infusion of the lifeblood of the new violet race—the descendants of Adam and Eve.
2014 66:8.4 U vrijeme Luciferove pobune, Knez Urantije je potonuo u najdublju tamu, što je iznenada stvorilo dugi period planetarne pometnje. Kaligastiji je kasnije oduzeta suverena vlast zajedničkim činom vladara zviježđa i drugih kozmičkih vlastodržaca. Zajedno sa drugima osjetio je posljedice neminovne izolacije Urantije sve do Adamovog dolaska i djelomično je odgovoran za neuspjeh plana unaprijeđenja ljudskih rasa miješanjem s novom ljubičastom rasom -- potomcima Adama i Eve.
1955 66:8.5 The power of the fallen Prince to disturb human affairs was enormously curtailed by the mortal incarnation of Machiventa Melchizedek in the days of Abraham; and subsequently, during the life of Michael in the flesh, this traitorous Prince was finally shorn of all authority on Urantia.
2014 66:8.5 To što je u doba Abrahama MakiventaMelkizedek utjelovljen na Urantijiuveliko je umanjilo moć palog Kneza nad ljudskim poslovima i osujetilo njegova nastojanja da ih poremeti; kasnije je ovom izdajničkom Knezu oduzeta svaka moć koju je posjedovao na Urantiji.
1955 66:8.6 The doctrine of a personal devil on Urantia, though it had some foundation in the planetary presence of the traitorous and iniquitous Caligastia, was nevertheless wholly fictitious in its teachings that such a “devil” could influence the normal human mind against its free and natural choosing. Even before Michael’s bestowal on Urantia, neither Caligastia nor Daligastia was ever able to oppress mortals or to coerce any normal individual into doing anything against the human will. The free will of man is supreme in moral affairs; even the indwelling Thought Adjuster refuses to compel man to think a single thought or to perform a single act against the choosing of man’s own will.
2014 66:8.6 Premda se učenje o đavlu Urantije donekle temelji na činjenici da je ovaj izdajnik i pokvarenjak Kaligastija ostao živjeti na vašem svijetu, potpuno je neispravno vjerovati da takav "đavo" može utjecati na normalan ljudski um protivno njegovim slobodnim i prirodnim odlukama. I prije Mihaelovog darivanja na Urantiji, Kaligastija i Daligastija nisu bili u stanju potlačiti smrtna bića i prisiliti normalne ljude da učine bilo što što se protivilo ljudskoj volji. Čovjekova slobodna volja ima najveću snagu i prevagu u svim smrtničkim poslovima; ni Misaoni Ispravljač koji živi u čovjekovom umu neće primorati čovjeka da se pozabavi jednom jedinom mišlju ili da povuče jedan jedini potez protivno čovjekovoj volji.
1955 66:8.7 And now this rebel of the realm, shorn of all power to harm his former subjects, awaits the final adjudication, by the Uversa Ancients of Days, of all who participated in the Lucifer rebellion.
2014 66:8.7 I tako ovaj planetarni pobunjenik kojem je oduzeta moć da naškodi svojim podanicima čeka da Stari Dani Uverse donesu konačnu presudu svima koji su sudjelovali u Luciferovoj pobuni.
