And they really did think of nothing else. Their lawgiver, Lycurgus, had already seen to that.

他们也确实心无旁骛。他们的立法家利库尔戈斯就已经注意到这件事。

He was probably alive at the time of Hammurabi, the great lawgiver, which was–as you remember! – around 1,700 BC.

他大概生活在伟大的立法者汉谟拉比的那个时代，这就是——就像你记得的那样——大约在公元前1700年。

The affected anxiety of the lawgiver, lest they should employ an improper person, is evidently as impertinent as it is oppressive.

立法者假装担心他们会雇用一个不合适的人， 这显然是无礼的， 因为它是压迫性的。

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.

因为耶和华是审判我们的，耶和华是给我们设律法的，耶和华是我们的王，他必拯救我们。

I am not going out under human guidance, subject to the defective laws and erring control of my feeble fellow-worms: my king, my lawgiver, my captain, is the All-perfect.

我不会在人类的指导下外出，不会受制于有缺陷的法律和我软弱的同胞的错误控制：我的国王，我的立法者，我的船长，是至善至美的。
