守夜人的宣誓词
Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come。
(现代文)
长夜将至,我从今开始守望,至死方休。我将不娶妻,不封地,不生子。我将不戴宝冠,不争荣宠。我将尽忠职守,生死于斯。我是黑暗中的利剑,长城上的守卫,抵御寒冷的烈焰,破晓时分的光线,唤醒眠者的号角,守护王国的坚盾。我将生命与荣耀献于守夜人,今夜如此,夜夜皆然。
(古文版)
永夜终至,吾辈铭记,巍巍大任,死亦无终。无享妻爱,不履寸土,决绝子嗣,身归兄弟。何言无冕,兄弟所望,何争俗荣,袍泽同心。尽忠职守,生死于斯,心念所归,无惧无退。铸兵利剑,暗夜无当;凝聚础石,长城屹立;腾焰熊熊,炽烈华光;耀耀破晓,璨以晨光;鸣无尽之号角,警外患之袭扰;锻坚钢之神盾,固王国之永宁。于今挺身,奉以生命,以夜为始,死亦无终。
