英文翻译“天将降大任于是人也”

Question

有哪位牛人能帮我翻译一下这句话，谢谢！
“故天将降大任于是人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨，饿其体肤，空乏其身，行拂乱其所为，所以动心忍性，曾益其所不能。 ”

论文中要用到的，所以请不要粗糙直译！

版本二：通俗篇，高级英文翻译根据原文意译

It inflicts him with poverty and knocks down everything he tries to build. In this way Heaven stimulates his mind, stabilizes his temper and develops his weak points.
