Purity seals are borne by various Imperial troops, applied to weapons, armor and vehicles. They take the form of wax seals and parchment inscribed with declarations and prayers. They are prominently displayed on armour, and symbolize that the wearer is uncontaminated by the slightest taint of Chaos.

各種帝國(guó)部隊(duì)都會(huì)佩戴純潔封印，封印會(huì)被貼在武器，盔甲和載具上。它們采用了的蠟封與刻有宣言和祈禱的羊皮紙的形狀。它們會(huì)被顯著地佩戴在盔甲上，象征著使用者不存在哪怕最輕微的混沌侵蝕。

Space Marine星際戰(zhàn)士純潔封印

A Purity Seal takes the form of prayers or litanies inscribed onto paper and then affixed to the Space Marine armour with red or black wax usually then coated with protective sealants or for more permanence electrum casings.Often it is responsibility of the Chapter's serfs to affix purity seals.?it is the It can be affixed to any part of a Space Marine armour or weapon. Other common places include leg plates and the rims or tops of the shoulder pads. Purity Seals should also not be confused with the prayer sheets and paper litanies worn by the Black Templars, sometimes in large fluttering?layers on their armour. These are specific to that Chapter and part of their own systems of faith and honour and not taken from the teachings of the Codex Astartes.

純潔封印的形狀是抄寫(xiě)著祈禱或者連禱的紙條，之后這些紙條會(huì)被人們使用紅色或黑色的蠟粘貼在星際戰(zhàn)士的動(dòng)力甲上，之后它們會(huì)被涂上保護(hù)性的密封藥劑，或者覆蓋上更為持久的金銀合金外殼。通常戰(zhàn)團(tuán)仆役們會(huì)負(fù)責(zé)粘貼封印，封印可以貼在星際戰(zhàn)士武器或動(dòng)力甲的任何部位，其他常見(jiàn)部位包括腿甲以及肩甲的頂端或邊緣。不過(guò)，純潔封印不能與黑色圣殿星際戰(zhàn)士們穿在動(dòng)力甲上的祈禱經(jīng)卷和連禱紙條混為一談，有時(shí)候這些經(jīng)卷會(huì)大片地粘在黑色圣殿星際戰(zhàn)士動(dòng)力甲的表面，在戰(zhàn)斗中隨風(fēng)舞動(dòng)。純潔封印在各個(gè)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)都有自己具體的特點(diǎn)，是戰(zhàn)團(tuán)信仰和榮譽(yù)體系的一部分，而且（在這方面）并不遵循阿斯塔特圣典的教導(dǎo)（機(jī)仆：說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，藍(lán)寶書(shū)也不可能詳細(xì)到告訴你這玩意兒怎么貼，畢竟它只供參考…）

It's a mark of a Space Marine pure faith or morality in the eyes of the Emperor and the Chapter. Such seals are only ever awarded by the Chapter’s Chaplains, bestowed onto Space Marine before battle as the Chaplain bestows a blessing onto the ranks of Space Marines. In many Chapters, this is a solemn ceremony accompanied by chanted litanies in honour of the Primarch and the Emperor. This can be because they are about to undertake a special task or mission or because they are not expected to survive. Unlike other Honours the right to bear a Purity Seal comes only after a Space Marine has worn it in battle and proven his courage to live up to its ideals. Typically a Chaplain will bestow a Purity Seal on a Space Marine with a specific blessing, such as killing a certain foe or number of enemies for the Emperor, or completing his duty even when mortally wounded. If the Space Marine returns successful, he has proven the blessing true. He is considered to have the favour of the Emperor and is granted the right to wear the Purity Seal on his armour permanently so that others might recognised his faith and devotion.

純潔封印是帝皇或者戰(zhàn)團(tuán)眼中一名星際戰(zhàn)士的純潔的信仰或者道德的記號(hào)，這些封印只由戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的牧師們授予（其他星際戰(zhàn)士），在戰(zhàn)斗前，牧師們會(huì)向戰(zhàn)斗兄弟們贈(zèng)予祝福，這時(shí)純潔封印也會(huì)被一并贈(zèng)予。在許多戰(zhàn)團(tuán)中，這是一個(gè)隆重的典禮，伴隨著對(duì)于榮耀帝皇與原體的連禱的吟誦。這是因?yàn)樗麄儗?huì)接受一項(xiàng)特殊的任務(wù)，或者因?yàn)樗麄兒芸赡苡腥o(wú)回。不同于其他的榮譽(yù)，只有當(dāng)星際戰(zhàn)士在戰(zhàn)斗中贏得這份榮譽(yù)并且證明自己擁有不辜負(fù)這份理想的勇氣之后，他才有權(quán)佩戴純潔封印。通常牧師在贈(zèng)予封印的同時(shí)也會(huì)一并送上具體的祝福，比如為帝皇殺死某個(gè)敵人，或者消滅敵人的數(shù)量，或者是哪怕受了致命傷也能完成任務(wù)。如果一位星際戰(zhàn)士凱旋而歸，那他就證明了祝福是真實(shí)的。他會(huì)被認(rèn)為得到了帝皇的偏愛(ài)，并被授予在動(dòng)力甲上永久性佩戴純潔封印的權(quán)力，這樣其他人就能識(shí)別出他的信仰與獻(xiàn)身精神。

Each Purity Seal carries with it a different invocation of blessing as devised by the Chaplain depending on his assessment of the Space Marine own purity. The exact nature of the blessing depends on the Chaplain, and is chosen when the blessing is bestowed. Common blessings include such things as that no xenos blade shall piece the brothers flesh; once within the brother’s sight, no enemy shall live to see another day; or the brother’s boltgun shall never grow cold from firing or his chainsword dry from blood once the enemy has been encountered. The effect of these blessings is mostly to spur the Space Marine in an effort to prove his valour to his Chapter and to the Emperor by bringing the blessing to pass, and it may even cause him to change his tactics or become reckless with bravery. A Battle-Brother can also draw strength from his Purity Seal by reciting its prayer and reaffirming his sense of duty to his Chapter and to the Emperor. It could also mean resisting some manner of subversion if it would break the nature of the Purity Seal’s blessing, granting the Space Marine another burst of effort fuelled by his unbreakable sense of honour. Finally, those that bear a Purity Seal are recognized for their devotion and loyalty, in a similar way to the Imperialis, and as a result respected for their achievements.

每個(gè)封印都引用了不同的祝福語(yǔ)，這些祝福語(yǔ)由牧師根據(jù)他對(duì)星際戰(zhàn)士純潔程度的評(píng)估而設(shè)計(jì)。祝福語(yǔ)的具體性質(zhì)由牧師決定，（牧師）會(huì)在贈(zèng)予祝福時(shí)進(jìn)行選擇。通常祝福語(yǔ)包含如下內(nèi)容：戰(zhàn)斗兄弟們之軀不為異形的劍刃所傷；戰(zhàn)斗兄弟所見(jiàn)之?dāng)辰詾橥龌?；或者一旦與敵人接戰(zhàn)，戰(zhàn)斗兄弟的爆彈槍槍聲不止，鏈鋸劍劍刃不停。祝福語(yǔ)的作用主要是通過(guò)帶來(lái)祝福以激勵(lì)星際戰(zhàn)士努力向帝皇和戰(zhàn)團(tuán)證明自己的價(jià)值，它甚至可能讓星際戰(zhàn)士改變策略或變得勇敢無(wú)畏。通過(guò)背誦封印上的禱告詞和重申自己對(duì)于戰(zhàn)團(tuán)和帝皇的責(zé)任感，星際戰(zhàn)士也能從封印中獲取力量。這也意味著星際戰(zhàn)士要抵制某些顛覆破壞行為——倘若這些行為講破壞純潔封印的祝福的話(huà)，在牢不可破的榮譽(yù)感的推動(dòng)下，星際戰(zhàn)士們會(huì)再次奮斗（來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)）。最終，佩戴著純潔封印的星際戰(zhàn)士們會(huì)因自己的獻(xiàn)身精神與忠誠(chéng)而得到認(rèn)可，這在帝國(guó)（其他地方）也是相似的，而且他們會(huì)因自己的成就而得到尊重。
