Atlas autem Herculi maxime prodesse potuit; ille enim cum ipse esset pater Hesperidum, certo scivit quo in loco esset hortus.

Postquam igitur audivit quam ob causam Hercules venisset, "Ipse," inquit, "ad hortum ibo et filiabus meis persuadebo ut poma sua sponte tradant." after|therefore|he heard|how|for|reason|Hercules|he had come|I myself|he said|to|garden|I will go|and|daughters|my|I will persuade|that|fruits|their|voluntarily|they may hand over ||||||||||||||娘たち||||||| したがって、ヘラクレスが来た理由を聞いた後、彼は言った。「私は庭に行き、私の娘たちに自発的に彼女たちの果実を渡すように説得します。」 Therefore, after he heard for what reason Hercules had come, he said, "I myself will go to the garden and persuade my daughters to willingly give their apples." Hercules cum haec audiret, magnopere gavisus est; vim enim adhibere noluit, si res aliter fieri posset. Hercules|when|these|he was hearing|greatly|he rejoiced|he was|force|for|to use|he did not want|if|things|otherwise|to be done|he could |||||||||加える|||||| ヘラクレスはこれを聞いて非常に喜んだ。なぜなら、彼は物事が別の方法で進む可能性があるなら、力を使いたくなかったからだ。 When Hercules heard this, he was greatly pleased; for he did not want to use force if the matter could be done otherwise. Constituit igitur oblatum auxilium accipere. he decided|therefore|offered|help|to accept ||提供された|| したがって、捧げ物としての助けを受け取ることを決定した。 Therefore, he decided to accept the offered help. Atlas tamen postulavit ut, dum ipse abesset, Hercules caelum umeris sustineret. Atlas|however|he demanded|that|while|he|he was away|Hercules|sky|on his shoulders|he should support |||||||||肩|支える しかしアトラスは、自分が不在の間、ヘラクレスが肩で天を支えるよう要求した。 However, Atlas demanded that, while he was away, Hercules should support the sky on his shoulders. Hoc autem negotium Hercules libenter suscepit, et quamquam res erat summi laboris, totum pondus caeli continuos compluris dies solus sustinebat. this|however|task|Hercules|willingly|he undertook|and|although|thing|it was|of the highest|labor|whole|weight|of the sky|continuous|several|days|alone|he was sustaining ||||||||||||||||多くの||| この仕事をヘラクレスは喜んで引き受けたが、最も重い労働であるにもかかわらず、彼は連続して数日間、一人で天の全ての重さを支えていた。 However, Hercules willingly undertook this task, and although it was of the greatest labor, he alone bore the entire weight of the heavens for several continuous days.

Illae diu haerebant; nolebant enim hoc facere, quod ab ipsa Iunone (ita ut ante dictum est) hoc munus accepissent. they|for a long time|they were hesitating|they did not want|for|this|to do|because|by|the very|Juno|thus|as|before|said|it was|this|gift|they had received ||||||||||ジュノー||||||||受け取った 彼女たちは長い間ためらっていた。というのも、彼女たちはこの行為をしたくなかったのです。なぜなら、それは前に言ったように、女神ジュノーからこの任務を受けていたからです。 They hesitated for a long time; for they did not want to do this, because they had received this gift from Juno herself (as has been said before). Atlas tamen aliquando iis persuasit ut sibi parerent, et poma ad Herculem rettulit. Atlas|however|at some time|to them|he persuaded|that|to himself|they would obey|and|apples|to|Hercules|he returned |||||||従う||||| アトラスは時折彼らに服従するよう説得し、そしてヘラクレスにリンゴを持ち帰った。 However, Atlas eventually persuaded them to obey him, and he brought the apples back to Hercules. Hercules interea cum pluris dies exspectavisset neque ullam famam de reditu Atlantis accepisset, hac mora graviter commotus est.

Tandem quinto die Atlantem vidit redeuntem, et mox magno cum gaudio poma accepit; tum, postquam gratias pro tanto beneficio egit, ad Graeciam proficisci maturavit. finally|fifth|day|Atlas|he saw|returning|and|soon|great|with|joy|apples|he received|then|after|thanks|for|such|benefit|he gave|to|Greece|to set out|he hastened |||||帰る|||||||||||||||||| ついに第五日目に、アトランテスが帰ってくるのを見て、すぐに大いに喜んでリンゴを受け取った。そして、そのような恩恵に感謝した後、ギリシャに向けて出発することを急いだ。 Finally, on the fifth day, he saw Atlas returning, and soon he received the apples with great joy; then, after giving thanks for such a benefit, he prepared to set out for Greece.

Hoc transire necesse erat antequam in Orcum venire possent. this|to cross|necessary|it was|before|to|Orcus|to come|they could 彼らがオルクに到達する前に、これを渡る必要がありました。 It was necessary to cross this before they could enter Orcus.

Charon pro hoc officio mercedem postulabat, neque quemquam, nisi hoc praemium prius dedisset, transvehere volebat.

Ii autem qui post mortem in terra non sepulti erant Stygem transire non potuerunt, sed in ripa per centum annos errare coacti sunt; tum demum Orcum intrare licuit. those|however|who|after|death|in|ground|not|buried|they were|Styx|to cross|not|they could|but|in|bank|for|hundred|years|to wander|forced|they were|then|finally|Orcus|to enter|it was allowed ||||||||||スタイギス||||||||||さまよう||||ようやく||| しかし、死後に地縛霊として埋葬されていない者はスタイックスを渡ることができず、百年間も岸辺を彷徨わざるを得なかった。そしてようやくオルクスに入ることが許された。 However, those who were not buried on land after death could not cross the Styx, but were forced to wander on the bank for a hundred years; only then was it permitted to enter Orcus.
