3-129:1
Καὶ νῦν δὲ ἔτι καὶ οὕς εἶπον λόγους εἰς ἀπόδειξιν τούτου ἐρῶ. Ὅταν λέγῃ· Ἔβρεξε κύριος πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, δύο ὄντας ἀριθμῷ μηνύει λόγος προφητικός, τὸν μὲν ἐπὶ γῆς ὄντα, ὅς φησι καταβεβηκέναι ἰδεῖν τὴν κραυγὴν Σοδόμων, τὸν δὲ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ὑπάρχοντα, ὅς καὶ τοῦ ἐπὶ γῆς κυρίου κύριός ἐστιν, ὡς πατὴρ καὶ θεός, αἴτιός τε αὐτῷ τοῦ εἶναι καὶ δυνατῷ καὶ κυρίῳ καὶ θεῷ
And now I will yet again say the words I mentioned for the demonstration of this. When He says, 'The Lord rained fire from the Lord out of heaven,' the prophetic word indicates that there are two in number: the one being on earth, who, it says, came down to see the cry of Sodom; the other existing in the heavens, who is also Lord of the Lord on earth, as Father and God, the cause to Him of His being, and of His being mighty and Lord and God.
如今我要再說一遍我為證明這事所提的話。當祂說「耶和華從耶和華那裡、從天上降火」時,先知的話表明在數目上有兩位:一位在地上,經上說祂下來要察看所多瑪的哀聲;另一位存在於天上,祂也是那在地上之主的主,作為父和神,是那位之所以存在、之所以為大能、為主、為神的緣由。
3-129:2
Καὶ πάλιν ὅταν λέγῃ λόγος εἰρηκέναι τὸν θεὸν ἐν ἀρχῇ· Ἰδοὺ Ἀδὰμ γέγονεν ὡς εἷς ἐξ ἡμῶν, τόδε, Ὡς εἷς ἐξ ἡμῶν, καὶ αὐτὸ ἀριθμοῦ δηλωτικόν ἐστιν, ἀλλ οὐ τροπολογίαν χωροῦσιν οἱ λόγοι, ὡς ἐξηγεῖσθαι ἐπιχειροῦσιν οἱ σοφισταὶ καὶ μηδὲ λέγειν τὴν ἀλήθειαν μηδὲ νοεῖν δυνάμενοι
And again, when the word says that God said in the beginning, 'Behold, Adam has become like one of us,' this 'like one of us' is also indicative of number, and the words do not admit of a figurative interpretation, as the sophists attempt to expound, who are able neither to speak nor to understand the truth.
再者,當那話說神在起初說「看哪,那人已經像我們中的一位」時,這「像我們中的一位」也表明數目,這些話不容喻意的解釋,如同那些詭辯家所試圖解釋的,他們既不能說出、也不能領悟真理。
3-129:3
Καὶ ἐν τῇ Σοφίᾳ εἴρηται· Ἐὰν ἀναγγείλω ὑμῖν τὰ καθ ἡμέραν γινόμενα, μνημονεύσω τὰ ἐξ αἰῶνος ἀριθμῆσαι. Κύριος ἔκτισέ με ἀρχὴν ὁδῶν αὐτοῦ εἰς ἔργα αὐτοῦ. Πρὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐθεμελίωσέ με, ἐν ἀρχῇ, πρὸ τοῦ τὴν γῆν ποιῆσαι καὶ πρὸ τοῦ τὰς ἀβύσσους ποιῆσαι καὶ πρὸ τοῦ προελθεῖν τὰς πηγάς τῶν ὑδάτων, πρὸ τοῦ ὄρη ἑδρασθῆναι· πρὸ δὲ πάντων βουνῶν γεννᾷ με
And in Wisdom it is said: 'If I declare to you the things that happen daily, I will remember to recount the things from of old. The Lord created me the beginning of His ways for His works. Before the age He founded me, in the beginning, before He made the earth, and before He made the depths, and before the springs of waters came forth, before the mountains were settled; before all the hills He begets me.'
在智慧書中說:「我若把每日發生的事向你們宣告,我必記得述說那從古以來的事。耶和華在祂造化的起頭,在祂太初的作為以先創造了我。在亙古以先,從太初,在祂造大地以先,在造深淵以先,在水泉湧出以先,在山被安置以先,我已生出;在一切丘陵之前,祂生我。」
3-129:4
Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπήγαγον· Νοεῖτε, ἀκροαταί, εἴ γε καὶ τὸν νοῦν προσέχετε· καὶ ὅτι γεγεννῆσθαι ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦτο τὸ γέννημα πρὸ πάντων ἁπλῶς τῶν κτισμάτων λόγος ἐδήλου, καὶ τὸ γεννώμενον τοῦ γεννῶντος ἀριθμῷ ἕτερόν ἐστι, πᾶς ὁστισοῦν ὁμολογήσειε
And having said this, I added: Understand, O hearers, if indeed you give heed; both that the Word declared that this offspring was begotten by the Father before absolutely all the creatures, and that the begotten is other in number than the begetter, anyone whatsoever would confess.
我說了這話,又補充道:聽眾啊,你們若留心,就要明白:那道宣告這後裔是父在絕對一切受造之物以先所生的,並且所生的在數目上是異於那生者的,這是任何人都會承認的。
