Zoroastrianism (religions (belief systems, cultures), <religions and religious concepts>, Associated Concepts (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Designates the ancient pre-Islamic religion of Iran, founded by the Iranian prophet Zoroaster in the sixth century BCE, featuring both monotheistic and dualistic features that later influenced Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The religious society is divided into a three-part class structure consisting of chiefs and priests; warriors; and husbandmen and cattle breeders. Gods or daivas are often associated with each class, though Zoroaster rejected the cults of all gods except the one of Ahura Mazda (the Wise Lord). Its characteristic principle is the belief that the origin of evil began in the exercise of free will at the nascent stage of creation in which the twin sons of Ahura Mazda, embittered in rivalry, chose different moral paths: Spent Mainyu (Bounteous Spirit) choose good; Angra Mainyu (Destructive Spirit) chose evil.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 伊朗在伊斯蘭教之前的古代宗教,由伊朗先知瑣羅亞斯德(Zoroaster)於西元前六世紀創立,兼具一神論及二元說的特色,之後影響了猶太教、伊斯蘭教與基督教。宗教社會分成三個階級:領袖與僧侶、武士,以及農民與牧人。每一個社會階級都常與神明互有關聯,但除了阿胡拉‧瑪茲達(Ahura Mazda, 智慧之神)以外,瑣羅亞斯德否定所有其他神明的教派。此教派的特殊信條為相信阿胡拉‧瑪茲達的兩個孿生子相互對立,於世界創始之時,基於自由意志各自選擇了不同的路:斯彭塔‧曼紐(Spent Mainyu, 聖靈)選擇為善,安格拉‧曼紐(Angra Mainyu, 破壞神靈)選擇為惡,而這就是惡的由來。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar de oude pre-islamitische religie in Iran, gesticht door de Iranese profeet Zoroaster in de 6de eeuw v. Chr., met zowel monotheïstische als dualistische kernmerken die later het judaïsme, de islam en het christendom beïnvloedden. De religieuze samenleving is verdeeld in een structuur van drie klassen. De eerste bestaat uit leiders en priesters, de tweede uit strijders en de derde uit landbouwers en veefokkers. Elke klasse wordt vaak geassocieerd met goden of daiva's, hoewel Zoroaster elke godsverering afkeurde, behalve die van Ahura Mazda (de Wijze Heer). Het kenmerkende principe is het geloof dat het kwaad zijn oorsprong heeft in de prille fase van de schepping, toen de tweelingzoons van Ahura Mazda als gevolg van een bittere rivaliteit de vrijheid kregen om verschillende morele wegen te volgen. Spent Mainyu (de milde geest) koos het goede, Angra Mainyu (de vernietigende geest) het kwade. 
Spanish ..... Designa la religión antigua pre-islámica, fundadada por el profeta iraní Zoroastro en el siglo VI a.C, presentando ambos elementos monoteistas como dualistas que posteriormente influenciaron al judaismo, islamismo y el cristianismo. La sociedad religiosa está divida en una estructura de clase de tres partes consistente en jefes y sacerdotes; guerreros, y esposos y ganaderos. Dioses o "daivas” son asociados frecuentemente con cada clase, aunque Zoroastro no aceptaba los cultos a todos los dioses excepto el de Ahura Mazda (el Señor Sabio). Su principio característico es la creencia que el origen de la maldad comenzó con el ejercicio de la voluntad libre al estado naciente de la creación en el cual los hijos mellizos de Ahura Mazda, amargos en rivalidades, eligieron diferentes caminos morales: Spent Mainyu (Espítiru Bondadoso) eligió el bueno; Angra Mainyu (Espíritu Destructivo) eligió el malo.
