《大力士经》回鹘文残片译释
Annotated Translation of Turfan Turkic Fragment of the Book of the Giants
摘要
吐鲁番回鹘文文书Mainz 317是摩尼教经典之一－《大力士经》的残片。它讲述了大力士马哈怀飞去见以诺的故事。死海古卷亚兰文文书4Q530 Fragment 2 Col. 2告诉我们一个类似的故事：马哈怀在长途飞翔之后见到以诺，请他为大力士们的噩梦作一解释。回鹊文文书Mainz 460d, U44 , U43 , U42和U40的内容则类似《惠明经》（《摩尼教残经》为其汉文译本）。这些残片告诉我们新人以五种势力（怜悯、诚信、具足、忍辱、智慧)防卫怨敌，就像净风五子降伏魔怨。《大力士经》的回鹘文残片与类似《惠明经》的回鹘文残片属于同一个抄本，恐非偶然。大力士的故事是用来比喻新人与体内故人的斗争。这或许就是《大力士经》的宗教涵义。

Turfan Turkic Fragment Mainz 317 belongs to the Book of the Giants - one of Manichaean scriptures. This piece deals with the flight of Mahway, one of the giants, to Enoch. Aramaic 4Q530 Fragment 2 Col. 2 of the Dead Sea Scrolls tells us a similar story: after a cosmic journey Mahway comes to Enoch and requests him to interpret the bad dreams of the giants. The content of Turkic fragments Mainz 460d, U44, U43, U42 and U40 is analogous to that of the Sermons of the Light-Nous, of which the Traite is a Chinese version. These fragments tell us how the New Man depends on five kinds of forces (love, faith, contentment, patience and wisdom) to defeat the enemy. The conflicts between evil powers and the five sons of the Living Spirit correlate to those within the individual as the New Man struggles with the Old. It is no coincidence that the Turkic fragment of the Book of the Giants belongs to the same manuscript as the Turkic fragments which are like the Sermons of the Light-Nous. The tales of the giants are presented as a parable for the challenge of the New on behalf of the Old Man who is tied up to his body. This may be the essentially religious message to be expected in Book of the Giants.
