| Entrückung von allem weltlichen withdrawn from all worldly ties/links/bindings Explanation: Granted, I'm being a bit free with the translation here because I'm adding something that isn't there. However, I believe that "ties/links/bindings" (whichever you prefer, or perhaps a different synonym thereof) makes perfect sense when considering the context that I've gathered from this question and your previous one. Otherwise, maybe this will get the ball rolling. (BTW and just in case: entrücken is a synonym of entziehen, wegnehmen, etc.) |

3 hrs confidence:
| Entrückung von allem weltlichen in bliss far from the world Explanation: ... and finally consumed them in (a state of) bliss far from the(material) world. I'd venture to say that this is a readable alternative that largely retains the meaning of the German ei}n|ver|lei|ben <sw. V.; verleibt ein/(auch:) einverleibt, verleibte ein/(auch:) einverleibte; hat> [zu Leib]: 2. <e. + sich> (scherzh.) [eine größere Menge von etw.] essen, (seltener:) trinken: ich habe mir den übrig gebliebenen Kuchen einverleibt; Ü sich neue Erkenntnisse e. (geistig aneignen). ent|rü|cken <sw. V.; hat> [mhd. entrücken, zu rücken] (geh.): auf wunderbare Weise in eine andere Welt, in einen anderen Zustand versetzen: <häufig im 2. Part.:> [im Traum] selig entrückt sein; entrückt auf etw. blicken. I feel you must be able to leave out the material connotations of "weltlich" and the descriptive "a state of", but I'm obviously not sure. |
