31:279
Οὐ γὰρ δὴ μέχρι τῶν γεγενημένων ἵσταται τὰ ἡμέτερα, ἀλλ' ἐφ' ἕτερα πρόεισι μείζονα, τὴν ἀνάστασιν, τὴν βασιλείαν, τὴν μετὰ Χριστοῦ λῆξιν, ἅπερ ἅπαντα παραστῆσαι βουλόμενος, ἐπήγαγεν·
For indeed our affairs do not halt at what has already come to pass, but advance to other and greater things: the resurrection, the kingdom, our lot with Christ; all of which, wishing to set before us, he added:
因為我們的事並不止於已經成就的,而是向著另一些更大的事前進:復活、國度、與基督同得的分;他想要將這一切呈明出來,便接著說:
31:280
Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
奉主名來的,是應當稱頌的。
31:281
Τοῦτο καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς Ἰουδαίοις ἔλεγεν·
This Christ too said to the Jews:
基督也曾向猶太人說過這話:
31:282
οὐ μή με ἴδητε, ἕως ἂν εἴπητε, Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου
You shall not see me, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'
你們不得再見我,直等到你們說:「奉主名來的,是應當稱頌的。」
31:283
Ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἄνω καὶ κάτω τοῦτο αὐτὸ προεβάλλετο, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὅτι ἀντίθεός ἐστι, λέγει αὐτοῖς·
For since they kept putting forward this very charge, over and over, that he was not from God, that he was an adversary of God, he says to them:
因為他們反覆再三提出這同一項控告,說他不是從神來的,說他是與神為敵的,所以他對他們說:
31:284
Ὑμεῖς μοι μαρτυρήσετε, ὅτι οὐκ ἀντίθεος ἐγὼ, ὅταν ἴδητε ἐπὶ τῶν νεφελῶν ἐρχόμενον, καὶ ταύτην ἀφῆτε τὴν φωνὴν λέγοντες, Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου, ἐν εὐφημίας ῥήμασι τῆς ἀπολογίας ἑαυτοὺς ἐκβάλλοντες
You yourselves will bear witness to me that I am no adversary of God, when you see me coming upon the clouds, and you send forth this very cry, saying, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord' — casting yourselves out of all defense by these very words of praise.
當你們看見我駕著雲彩降臨,並發出這同樣的呼喊、說「奉主名來的,是應當稱頌的」時,你們自己便要為我作見證,證明我並非與神為敵——你們用這些讚美的話語,反把自己排除在一切申辯之外。
31:285
Ἡ γὰρ ἐπιφάνεια τῶν γινομένων τότε ταύτην παρασκευάσει τὴν φωνὴν ἀφεῖναι, ὁμοῦ μὲν εὐφημοῦντας, ὁμοῦ δὲ τὴν κατηγορίαν πικροτέραν ποιοῦντας
For the manifestation of the things that come to pass at that time will make them send forth this cry, at once praising and at the same time making their own condemnation more bitter.
因為那時所發生之事的顯現,將促使他們發出這呼喊,一面稱頌,一面卻使自己所受的控訴更加苦澀。
31:286
Εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐξ οἴκου Κυρίου·
We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
我們從主的殿中為你們祝福。
31:287
Θεὸς Κύριος, καὶ ἐπέφανεν ἡμῖν
The Lord is God, and he has appeared to us.
主乃是神,他已向我們顯現。
31:288
Τὸν δῆμον ἅπαντα λέγει τὸν πιστὸν, τὸν εὐλογίας ἀπολαύοντα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ
He means the whole faithful people, who enjoy the blessing in the house of God.
他指的是全體信主的百姓,就是在神的殿中享受這祝福的人。
31:289
Καὶ γὰρ πανταχοῦ φαίνονται οἱ προφῆται μακαρίζοντες τοὺς μέλλοντας πιστεύειν
For everywhere the prophets are seen pronouncing blessed those who are destined to believe.
因為各處都可見先知稱那些將要相信的人為有福的。
31:290
Τίνος ἕνεκεν εὐλογήσατε, καὶ πόθεν ὁ μακαρισμός; Ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐπέφανεν ἡμῖν
On what account did you bless, and whence comes the blessing? Because God has appeared to us.
你們是為著什麼緣故祝福呢?這稱頌又是從何而來?乃是因為神已向我們顯現。
31:291
Ἐπεφάνη γὰρ, φησὶν, ἡ χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ σωτήριος παιδεύουσα ἡμᾶς, ἵνα ἀρνησάμενοι τὴν ἀσέβειαν καὶ τὰς κοσμικὰς ἐπιθυμίας, σωφρόνως καὶ δικαίως καὶ εὐσεβῶς ζήσωμεν, ἀπεκδεχόμενοι τὴν μακαρίαν ἐλπίδα καὶ ἐπιφάνειαν τοῦ μεγάλου Θεοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
For, he says, the saving grace of God has appeared, instructing us that, denying impiety and worldly desires, we should live soberly and righteously and godly, awaiting the blessed hope and the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
因為他說,神那使人得救的恩典已經顯明出來,教訓我們除去不敬虔的心和世俗的情慾,在今世自守、公義、敬虔度日,等候那有福的盼望,並我們至大的神和救主耶穌基督的顯現。
31:292
Ἐνταῦθα τοίνυν ὁ Προφήτης τὴν σάρκωσιν θαυμάζει, ὅτι Θεὸς ὢν, καὶ Κύριος, καὶ τῆς οὐσίας ἐκείνης, κατηξίωσεν ἐπιφά. νειαν
Here, then, the Prophet marvels at the incarnation, that being God, and Lord, and of that very essence, he deigned to appear.
如此看來,先知在此驚嘆道成肉身之事,就是那位既是神、是主、又屬於那本體的,竟俯就而顯現。
31:293
Ἐπιφάνειαν δὲ εἶπε τὴν οἰκονομίαν, τὸ εἰς μήτραν ἐλθεῖν παρθενικὴν, τὸ ἄνθρωπον γενέσθαι, καὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις συναναστραφῆναι
And by 'appearing' he meant the dispensation: the coming into a virgin's womb, the becoming man, and the dwelling among men.
他所說的「顯現」,是指那救贖的安排:進入童貞女的胎中,成為人,並與世人一同居住往來。
31:294
Διὰ δὴ τοῦτο, Εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς, φησὶν, ὅτι τοιαύτης ἀπηλαύσατε δωρεᾶς
For this reason, he says, We have blessed you, because you have enjoyed such a gift.
他說,正是為著這緣故,我們為你們祝福,因為你們享受了這樣的恩賜。
31:295
Τοῦτο καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς αἰνιττόμενος ἔλεγε·
This too Christ hinted at when he said:
基督也曾暗示這事,說道:
31:296
Πολλοὶ προφῆται καὶ δίκαιοι ἐπεθύμησαν ἰδεῖν, ἃ εἴδετε, καὶ οὐκ εἶδον, καὶ ἀκοῦσαι, ἃ ἀκούετε, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν
Many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.
從前有許多先知和義人,想要看你們所看的,卻沒有看見;想要聽你們所聽的,卻沒有聽見。
31:297
Συστήσασθε ἑορτὴν ἐν τοῖς πυκάζουσιν, ἕως τῶν κεράτων τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου
Order a feast among the leafy boughs, up to the horns of the altar.
要在繁茂的枝葉中設立節期,直到祭壇的角。
31:298
Συνδήσατε ἐν πανηγύρει πυκάσματα
Bind together bundles of foliage at the festal assembly.
要在節慶的聚會中紮起茂密的枝葉。
31:299
Ἄλλος, Δήσατε ἑορτὴν ἐν πιμελέσιν
Another version: Bind the feast with fat things.
另一譯本作:要用肥美之物來繫住節期。
31:300
Ἐπὶ τὴν ἱστορίαν ἐξέβη πάλιν ἀπὸ τῆς προφητείας
He has gone out again from prophecy to the historical narrative.
他又從預言回到歷史的敘述上去了。
31:301
Ὃ δὲ λέγει τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν·
And what he says is of this sort:
他所說的是這樣的:
31:302
Τί δέ ἐστι, Συστήσασθε ἑορτὴν ἐν τοῖς πυκάζουσι; Κατὰ μὲν τὸν ἕνα ἑρμηνευτὴν, Θύσατε θυσίας λιπαράς·
And what is meant by, 'Order a feast among the leafy boughs'? According to one interpreter: Offer fat sacrifices;
那麼「要在繁茂的枝葉中設立節期」是什麼意思呢?照一位譯者的解法是:獻上肥美的祭物;
31:303
κατὰ δὲ τὸν ἕτερον, Στεφανώματα καὶ κλάδους ἀνάψατε τῷ ναῷ
and according to the other: Hang up wreaths and boughs upon the temple.
照另一位譯者的解法是:把花環和枝條懸掛在聖殿上。
31:304
Τὸ δὲ Ἑβραϊκὸν τοῦτο οὕτως εἶπεν, Ἐσροὺ ἂγ βαὰδ ὀθθίμ
But the Hebrew put it thus: Esrou ang baad othim.
但希伯來原文是這樣說的:以斯魯 昂 巴阿德 俄提姆。
31:305
Ἄν τε οὖν τοῦτο, ἄν τε ἐκεῖνο ᾖ, ἑορτὴν δηλοῖ, καὶ φαιδρὰν ἡμέραν, καὶ πανήγυριν
Whether, then, it be this or that, it signifies a feast, and a bright day, and a festal assembly.
所以不論是這種或那種解法,都是指著一個節期、一個歡樂的日子、一場盛大的慶典。
31:306
Ἀπὸ γὰρ τῶν νοητῶν ἐπὶ τὰ αἰσθητὰ μετήγαγε πάλιν τὸν λόγον, καὶ τῆς ἐπανόδου τούτων ἐμνημόνευσε
For he has carried the discourse over again from the things perceived by the mind to the things perceived by the senses, and made mention of their return.
因為他又把話題從心智所領會的事,轉到感官所覺察的事上,並提到了他們的歸回。
31:307
Θεός μου εἶ σὺ, καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι·
You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;
你是我的神,我要稱謝你;
31:308
Θεός μου εἶ σὺ, καὶ ὑψώσω σε
You are my God, and I will exalt you.
你是我的神,我要尊崇你。
31:309
Ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι, ὅτι ἐπήκουσάς μου, καὶ ἐγένου μοι εἰς σωτηρίαν
I will give thanks to you, because you have heard me, and have become my salvation.
我要稱謝你,因為你已應允了我,並成了我的拯救。
31:310
Ἐνταῦθα δείκνυσιν, ὅτι καὶ χωρὶς τῶν εὐεργεσιῶν δεῖ εὐχαριστεῖν τῷ Θεῷ, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο δοξάζειν αὐτὸν, διὰ τὴν μεγαλωσύνην αὐτοῦ, διὰ τὴν ἀπόῤῥητον δόξαν
Here he shows that even apart from benefactions one ought to give thanks to God, and on this account to glorify him — for his greatness, for his ineffable glory.
他在此表明,即使沒有恩惠,人也應當感謝神,並為此榮耀他——為著他的偉大,為著他那不可言喻的榮耀。
31:311
Τοῦτο γὰρ αἰνίττεται μετὰ τὸ εἰπεῖν τὰς εὐεργεσίας, ἃς εὐηργετήθη, οὕτως ἐπαγαγών
For this is what he hints at when, after recounting the benefits with which he had been favored, he thus goes on to add:
因為在敘述了他所領受的種種恩惠之後,他這樣接著說下去,所暗示的正是這個:
31:312
Καὶ χωρὶς τούτων καὶ εὐχαριστήσω, καὶ ἐξομολογήσομαι, ὅτι τοιοῦτον ἔχω Δεσπότην, οὕτως ὑψηλὸν, οὕτω μέγαν, οὕτως ἀόρατον, οὕτως ἀκατάληπτον·
And apart from these things I will also give thanks and make confession, because I have such a Master, so exalted, so great, so invisible, so incomprehensible;
縱使撇開這些事,我也要感謝、也要稱頌,因為我有這樣一位主宰,如此崇高、如此偉大、如此不可見、如此不可測度的主;
31:313
τὸ γὰρ, Ὑψώσω, δοξάσω ἐστίν
for the phrase 'I will exalt' means 'I will glorify.'
因為「我要高舉」這句話的意思就是「我要榮耀」。
31:314
Ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ Κυρίῳ, ὅτι ἀγαθὸς, ὅτι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever.
你們要稱謝耶和華,因他本為善,他的慈愛存到永遠。
31:315
Οὐκ αὐτὸς ταύτην ἀναφέρειν τὴν θυσίαν μόνον ἀρκεῖται, ἀλλὰ καὶ κοινωνοὺς πολλοὺς καλεῖ τῆς εὐφημίας καὶ τῆς εὐχαριστίας, καὶ τὴν Θεοῦ φιλανθρωπίαν ἀνακηρύττει, πανταχοῦ τὸ διαρκὲς αὐτῆς ὑμνῶν καὶ τὸ μέγεθος
He is not content to offer this sacrifice by himself alone, but he summons many partners to share in the praise and the thanksgiving, and he proclaims aloud the loving-kindness of God, everywhere hymning both its abiding constancy and its greatness.
他不以獨自獻上這祭為滿足,反倒召喚許多人一同來分享這頌讚與感謝,並且高聲宣揚神的仁慈,處處歌頌祂那長存不息的慈愛與其宏大。
31:316
Ταῦτα δὴ οὖν καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰδότες, μένωμεν διαπαντὸς εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ φιλανθρώπῳ Θεῷ, καὶ ταύτην ἀναφέρωμεν τὴν θυσίαν, ἵνα καὶ τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν ἀπολαύσωμεν, χάριτι καὶ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, μεθ' οὗ τῷ Πατρὶ δόξα ἅμα τῷ ἁγίῳ Πνεύματι, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ, καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
Knowing these things, then, let us also continue always giving thanks to the God who loves mankind, and let us offer up this sacrifice, so that we may also enjoy the good things to come, by the grace and loving-kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, with whom, together with the Holy Spirit, be glory to the Father, now and always, and unto the ages of ages.
因此,我們既然知道這些事,就當常常向那愛世人的神獻上感謝,並獻上這祭,好叫我們也能享受將來的美福;這都是藉著我們主耶穌基督的恩典與仁慈。願榮耀歸與父,並歸與聖靈,從今直到永永遠遠。
