Berserk Volume 3 Chapter 8




Translation for Berserk Volume 03 Chapter 8: Desire's Guardian Angels (6)







Page 121
Griffith: Oi! Are you still alive?
Griffith: Aa(h), Somehow……
Berserk
Griffith: You certainly…
Griffith: have the luck of the Devil.
Griffith: Here.



Page 122
Griffith: Martyrdom for the sake of a merciless deity (probably)…
Griffith: It's a troubling matter.
Griffith: In the present age, the lives of the majority of people are spent catering to the whims of a handful of nobles and royal families. [Not sure about this. G does, however, mention 'in the present age', 'the lives of the majority of people' and 'the convenience of a handful of the nobility and the royal families'.]
Griffith: On the battlefield, an enlisted man is not even worth a silver coin.
Griffith: Well…
Griffith: I don't know that even the King has a satisfactory reason for living. [That is, satisfactory from G's point of view. Well, I think so at any rate!]
Griffith: Everybody is merely entrusting their lives to a large stream.
Griffith: …to a fellow who is known in one way or another as fate.
Griffith: And everybody dies. [alt: And everybody dies and goes who knows where.]
Griffith: Their lives spent.
Griffith: Without even knowing who they were.



Page 123
Griffith: In this world, and having no connection with the social hierarchy established by man, there are those who were born as keys that set the world in motion. [alt: In this world, people, who were born as keys that move the world, exist, having no connection with the social hierarchy established by man.] [I'm sure that this could be framed better.]
Griffith: It, the Universe's Golden Rule, established the true elite…
Griffith: The people who possess the power of God!!
Griffith: ……I want to know!!
Griffith: Why I am on this world!!
Griffith: What is possible by who………[Not sure about this.]
Griffith: (Thereby) Establishing what I should do. [Also unsure about this, due to the 'beku' following 'nani wo suru' and before 'sadamerareteirunoka'.]
Griffith: …It's amazing………



Page 124
Griffith (now revealed as the pre-Femto Griffith): You're the first person that I've spoken to like this. [alt: I've never spoken to anyone else like before.]
Guts: At that time, that man was reflected in my eyes as a beautiful, noble and complete person. [Re 'complete', my dictionary indicates that 'zettaiteki' should be read as 'absolute'. A 'beautiful, noble and well-rounded person' may be more appropriate!?]

Desire's Guardian Angels (6)



Page 126
Void: Come now, decide!!
Void: Will you offer this girl as a sacrifice to evil, or not!?



Page 127
Puck: Theresia………!!
Guts: What the hell are you doing!! You don't have all day!!
Puck: B…But…!!



Page 128
Guts: If you don't get over here soon, this fellow will also be branded on your precious friend.
Guts: If you don't want that, fix this arm so that I can move it quickly!!
Guts: Your gift is all that you have!! [Re 'gift', I presume that Guts is here talking about Puck's ability to heal people as being the only 'weapon' in Puck's arsenal.]
Guts: If my existence is beneath notice…
Guts: If my existence is beneath notice…!!



Page 129
Ubik: What's wrong, Count!?
Ubik: What's troubling you!?
Count: Theresia………
Ubik or Conrad: As it stands, before the hour is over your life's flame will be dead.
Slann: You are already one of our family. Even if you die, resting in peace in the underworld, and the like, will not be possible.



Page 130
Femto: I advise you to look, Count.
Guts: A(h)…!!
Guts: Ga(h)!!
Guts: Guts!?



Page 131
Puck: …What!?
Puck: Incredible…!! An enormous vortex of thought……!?
Puck: Evil of enormous proportions…
Puck: It's as if all the world's evil were gathered here!!



Page 134
Count: Th…That can't be…!?
Slann: It's the passage, Count.
Femto: No more than a mere part, but…
Femto: this is…
Femto: Hell!!



Page 135
Femto: Count, the undulation of your soul is close to pure evil.
Femto: If your flesh expires, your soul, captured in the evil, magnetic wave, will certainly fall down to Hell.
Femto: And, you will wander about that crucible of dark thought for all eternity.
Femto: Before long, maintaining your individuality will become an impossibility. [The gist of this is correct - I think! I am however unsure as to the effect of 'sura' in 'kotaisura'.]
Femto: You will become one undulation, melting in the sea of the darkside of the soul in order to let fall a drop (of water) into the water.



Page 136
Slann: That is the fate of those who were related to evil (spirits). [alt: That is the fate of persons who were mixed up in evil].
Puck: Because a person was related to evil (spirits)… [alt: Because a person was mixed up in evil……]
Puck: Then……
Puck: Guts is……!?



Page 137
Femto: Count.
Femto: 2 paths remain open to you.
Femto: To continue your existence with an evil spirit, or to continue living, reincarnated once more, with an evil spirit? [Had problems with this and Femto's 2 following statements.]
Femto: If your existence is not absorbed into the evil spirit…
Femto: We will send you back!!



Page 138
Conrad: Just some words… [lit: Just a word…]
Conrad: If you say " I offer my daughter for sacrifice", all will be well!!
Ubik: Thereafter the brand will be set upon your daughter.
Slann: That girl will become an evil thing.
Theresia: …A(h)…
Theresia: A(h)



Page 139
Void: Decide.
Count: Some words…… [lit: A word……]
Count: Just some words. [lit: Just a word.]



Page 140
Count: …(So) Cold……All my life's blood is flowing out…
Count: I'm dieing……wretched…like this, as pieces of some loathsome monster……
Count: …And within that vortex…………
Count: (I'll be) For all eternity………?
Count: ……No……
Count: No…!!
Count: I don't want to……!!!
Count: to die…!!

Theresia: It's a lie…



Page 166
Theresia: Send me back…
Theresia: To my room…
Theresia: Send me back…
Theresia: To that room!!
Theresia: I don't want to live…
Theresia: In a place like this…
Theresia: I don't want to live…
Theresia: If I have to live in a place like this…
Theresia: If I have to live in such a place…
Theresia: …I'd prefer to be dead……



Page 168
Guts: …Then
Guts: Die.



Page 169
Puck: That's cruel, Guts…
Puck: What kind of feelings was Theresia having…
Puck: Even you should understand!?
Guts: So…
Guts: If you want to die?
Guts: Why're you stopping? If you don't like it……



Page 170
Guts: What, it's easy. Cut your wrist with that fellow. ['That fellow' being the knife.]
Guts: It'll end at that……
Guts: Farewell to all those disagreeable things…
Guts: You'll go to Heaven, won't you? [lit: If you, you'll be able to go to Heaven, won't you?]
Guts: Or, perhaps you'd prefer to go Hell?
Guts: Because you might be able to catch up with your mother and your father.
Puck: He's serious…!!
Puck: He's being perfectly serious……!! [Not sure about this.]



Page 171
Guts: It's your life.
Guts: Die for your love. ["Anata no suki ni shina"? "Die for your love"? Or, "Do it for your love"? Considering the context, they mean pretty much the same thing.]
Puck: Theresia!?



Page 172
Puck: Wa(h)-----
Puck: Hey!! Hey!! Hey!!
Puck: What do you think you're doing, Theresia!?
Puck: Stop!!!
Puck: Open your eyes!! Doing such a thing is the lowest!!! [alt: Open your eyes!! Killing yourself like this is disgusting!!!]

Theresia: If only you hadn't appeared…………



Page 179
Theresia: You………
Guts: From those eyes, it looks like you're not intending to die anytime soon.
Guts: …Well, that's nice.



Page 180
Theresia: …I'm going to kill you………

Theresia: Someday for sure……
