ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
1:844
σωματικήν τινα τοῦ φυέντος διασημαίνει κολόβωσιν, ἀλλ' ἑκάστου τῶν κατὰ τὸ ἀγαθὸν νοουμένων στέρησίν τε καὶ ἀλλοτρίωσιν
signify any bodily maiming of that which has grown, but the privation and alienation of each of the things contemplated as belonging to the good.
意指那長成之物在身體上有任何殘缺,乃是指那一切被看為屬於善之事物的剝奪與疏離。
1:845
Ἐπεὶ οὖν ἕν τι χρὴ πάντως περὶ ἡμᾶς εἶναι τῶν κατ' ἀντίθεσιν νοουμένων, ἢ ἀγαθὸν, ἢ κακὸν, δηλονότι τὸ ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τινα λέγειν μὴ εἶναι, ἀπόδειξις γίνεται τοῦ ἐν τῷ κακῷ πάντως
Since, then, one of the things conceived as opposites must by all means be about us—either good or evil—clearly to say that someone is not in the good becomes a demonstration that he is altogether in the evil.
既然那兩個被視為對立之物中,必有一個關乎我們——或善或惡——那麼說某人不在善中,顯然就成了他全然在惡中的明證。
1:846
Ἀλλὰ μὴν περὶ τὴν κακίαν, οὐ τιμὴ, οὐ δόξα, οὐκ ἀφθαρσία, οὐ δύναμις
But surely, about evil there is no honor, no glory, no incorruption, no power.
然而,惡中斷然沒有尊貴,沒有榮耀,沒有不朽,沒有能力。
1:847
Ἀνάγκη πᾶσα, περὶ ὃν μὴ ἦν ταῦτα, τὰ τούτοις ἐξ ἀντιθέτου νοούμενα παρεῖναι, μὴ ἀμφιβάλλειν, ἀσθένειαν, ἀτιμίαν, φθορὰν, καὶ ὅσα τοιούτου γένους ἐστὶν,ἃ ἐν τοῖς ἔμπροσθεν εἴρηται λόγοις, ὅσα δυσαπάλλακτα γίνεται τῇ ψυχῇ τὰ ἐκ κακίας πάθη, δι' ὅλης αὐτῆς ἀνακραθέντα καὶ συμφυέντα, καὶ ἓν πρὸς ἐκείνην γενόμενα
There is every necessity to have no doubt that, in him about whom these things were not, the things conceived as their opposites are present—weakness, dishonor, corruption, and as many things as are of such a kind, which have been spoken of in the foregoing discourses: namely, all the passions arising from evil that become hard to be rid of for the soul, having been blended throughout the whole of it, and grown together with it, and become one with it.
凡這些事物不在其中的人,那些被視為與這些相反之物必然臨在於他——軟弱、羞辱、敗壞,以及諸如此類的一切,就是前面論述中所說過的:即那一切從惡而生、難以脫去的情慾,這些情慾已遍透靈魂全體,與它一同生長,與它合而為一,這是無可置疑的。
1:848
Τῶν τοιούτων οὖν ταῖς διὰ πυρὸς ἰατρείαις ἐκκαθαρθέντων τε καὶ ἀφανισθέντων, ἕκαστον τῶν πρὸς τὸ κρεῖττον νοουμένων ἀντεπελεύσεται, ἡ ἀφθαρσία, ἡ ζωὴ, ἡ τιμὴ, ἡ χάρις, ἡ δόξα, ἡ δύναμις, καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο τοιοῦτον ἔν τε τῷ Θεῷ ἐπιθεωρεῖσθαι εἰκάζομεν, καὶ τῇ εἰκόνι αὐτοῦ, ἥ τίς ἐστιν ἡ ἀνθρωπίνη φύσις
When, then, such [souls] have been thoroughly cleansed and made to vanish by the healings through fire, each of the things conceived as belonging to the better will come in their stead—incorruption, life, honor, grace, glory, power, and whatever else of such a kind we conjecture to be contemplated both in God and in His image, which is human nature.
那麼,當這等靈魂藉著火的醫治被徹底潔淨、使之消滅之後,每一樣被視為屬於那更美之事物的,便要取而代之臨到——不朽、生命、尊貴、恩典、榮耀、能力,以及凡我們所推想為既在神裡面、又在祂的形像(就是人的本性)裡面所觀看的諸如此類之物。
