and there was no other reason to be given

只有一个理由能够解释
why you have not dropped into hell since you arose this morning

为什么你能在早上醒来而没有被投入地狱
and that God's--but that God's hand has held you up.

那就是上帝之手在支撑着你
There is no other reason to be given

除此之外没有其他原因可以解释
why you have not gone to hell since you have sat here.

为何你现在坐在这里却没有进入地狱
Oh, sinner, consider the fearful danger you are in.

罪人啊想想你身处的危险境地
You hang by a slender thread

你命悬一线
with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it,

上帝的怒火燃烧闪烁
ready every moment to singe it and burn it asunder,

你随时可能就此坠入火海掉落地狱
and you have no interest in any mediator

但你不仅对调停者毫无兴趣
and nothing to lay hold of save yourself,

也没有什么可以抓住自救的东西
nothing to keep off the flames of wrath,

没有什么可以阻挡上帝的怒火
