a wolf pursued a lamb, which fled for refuge to a certain temple. the wolf called out to him and said, "the priest will slay you in sacrifice, if he should catch you." on which the lamb replied, "it would be better for me to be sacrificed in the temple than to be eaten by you."

狼在追捕一只小绵羊，小绵羊急忙躲进了神庙。狼在外面对他喊道:“你还是出来吧！如果你被祭司发现了，他一定会把你杀掉献给神灵的。”小绵羊回答说:“如果是这样的话，我宁愿成为神的祭品，也好过被你吃掉。”

为神灵献身也好过死在敌人的手里。
