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.

1:1254
Ἐπεί δέ οὐ πρός φθοράν καί αὖθις, ἀλλά πρός ἀφθαρσίαν ἔμελλε γίνεσθαι, διά Πνεύματος καί οὐ διά σαρκός ἡ ἀναπλήρωσις γέγονεν, ὅπως καί τήν φύσιν τοῦ Ἀδάμ ἀναπλάσῃ καί μέλλοντα γενέσθαι τέκνα Θεοῦ διά Πνεύματος Ἁγίου τήν ἀναγέννησιν λάβωσι καί οὕτως ἐν Πνεύματι Θεοῦ συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ ἅπαντες οἱ εἰς αὐτόν πιστεύοντες γένωνται καί σῶμα ἕν
But since this was not to happen again unto corruption, but unto incorruption, the filling-up took place through the Spirit and not through flesh, so that He might refashion the nature of Adam, and that those who were to become children of God might receive regeneration through the Holy Spirit, and thus, in the Spirit of God, all who believe in Him might become His kinsmen and one body.
然而,既然這次的補足並非再度導向朽壞,而是要導向不朽,因此這補足乃是藉聖靈、而非藉肉身而成,為要使祂重塑亞當的本性,並使那些將要成為神兒女的人,藉聖靈得著重生;如此,凡信祂的人便都在神的靈裡成為祂的親屬,並成為一個身體。
1:1255
Καί καθάπερ ἐπί τῶν πρωτοπλάστων ἐρρήθη·
And just as it was said concerning the first-created ones:
正如論到那最初被造的人所說:
1:1256
Τῆς γυναικός δηλονότι, φημί δή τῆς πλευρᾶς τοῦ Ἀδάμ – καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καί τήν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καί προσκολληθήσεται τῇ γυναικί αὐτοῦ ἤγουν τῇ πλευρᾷ τοῦ Ἀδάμ καί ἔσονται οἱ δύο εἰς σάρκα μίαν, οὕτω καί ἐπί Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ γίνεται
namely, concerning the woman—I mean the rib of Adam—'a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife,' that is, to the rib of Adam, 'and the two shall become one flesh'—so too it comes to pass in the case of Christ God.
就是論到那女人,也就是我所說的亞當之肋骨——「人要離開父母,與妻子連合」,亦即與亞當的肋骨連合,「二人成為一體」——在基督神身上,也是同樣如此成就。
1:1257
Ἐπειδή γάρ ἀνέλαβε σάρκα ἐκ τῶν παναχράντων αἱμάτων τῆς Θεοτόκου καί Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον αὐτῇ ἐχαρίσατο, ἐσαρκώθη τε καί γέγονεν ἄνθρωπος, τούτου ἕνεκα καταλείψει ἄνθρωπος τόν πατέρα αὐτοῦ καί τήν μητέρα, ἔτι δέ καί γυναῖκα καί τέκνα καί ἀδελφούς καί ἀδελφάς, καί προσκολληθήσεται οὐ τῇ γυναικί οὐδέ σαρκικῶς, ἀλλ ὡς πάντες ἐκ τῆς γυναικός οἱ κατά σῶμα γεννώμενοι καί ὄντες ἡμεῖς, τῷ ἐκ τῆς γυναικός γεννηθέντι ἄνευ σπορᾶς ἀνδρί, τῷ νυμφίῳ Χριστῷ
For since He took flesh from the all-immaculate blood of the Theotokos and granted her the Holy Spirit, He was made flesh and became man; for this reason 'a man shall leave his father and his mother'—and also wife and children and brothers and sisters—'and shall cleave,' not to a wife, nor in a fleshly manner, but, as all of us who are born of woman according to the body, to the Man born of woman without seed, the Bridegroom Christ.
因為祂既從生神女那全然無玷的血肉中取得肉身,並將聖靈賜予了她,於是祂道成肉身,成了人;正因如此,「人要離開父母」,甚至離開妻子、兒女、兄弟姊妹,並且「連合」——不是與某個妻子連合,也不是按肉體的方式連合,而是像我們這些按肉身由女人所生的眾人一樣,與那位無精血播種、由女人所生的男人——新郎基督——連合。
1:1258
Καί οὕτως, πνευματικῶς συναπτόμενοι καί κολλώμενοι αὐτῷ, ἐσόμεθα ἕκαστος μετ αὐτοῦ εἰς πνεῦμα ἕν καί σῶμα ἕν ὡσαύτως, διά τό σωματικῶς ἐσθίειν τό σῶμα αὐτοῦ καί τό αἷμα αὐτοῦ πίνειν ἡμᾶς
And thus, being spiritually joined and cleaving to Him, each of us shall be with Him one spirit, and likewise one body also, because we bodily eat His body and drink His blood.
如此,我們藉屬靈的方式與祂聯合、緊密相依,各人都要與祂成為一靈;同樣地,也因我們在肉身上吃祂的身體、喝祂的血,而與祂成為一體。
1:1259
Οὕτω γάρ καί αὐτός ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν καί Θεός ἀπεφθέγξατο·
For thus also our Lord and God Himself declared:
因為我們的主、我們的神,祂自己也曾如此宣告:
1:1260
Ὁ τρώγων μου τό σῶμα καί πίνων μου τό αἷμα ἐν ἐμοί μένει κἀγώ ἐν αὐτῷ
'He who eats my body and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.'
「吃我肉、喝我血的人,就住在我裡面,我也住在他裡面。」
1:1261
() Τούτῳ δέ τῷ θείῳ λόγῳ καί τό οὕτω λέγον τοῦ Ἀποστόλου συνᾴδει ῥῆμα·
And in harmony with this divine word is also this saying of the Apostle, who speaks thus:
與這神聖的話語相合的,還有使徒如此說的話:
1:1262
Ὁ κολλώμενος τῇ πόρνῃ ἕν σῶμά ἐστι μετ αὐτῆς·
'He who is joined to a prostitute is one body with her;'
「與娼妓聯合的,便是與她成為一體;」
1:1263
ὁ δέ κολλώμενος τῷ Κυρίῳ ἕν πνεῦμά ἐστι μετ αὐτοῦ
'but he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him.'
「但與主聯合的,便是與主成為一靈。」
1:1264
Ἕν δέ λέγω οὐ ταῖς ὑποστάσεσιν, ἀλλά τῇ φύσει τῆς θεότητος καί τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος ἕν·
But I say 'one' not with respect to the hypostases, but one in the nature of the divinity and of the humanity;
但我說『一』,不是就位格而言,乃是就神性與人性的本性而言,是一;
1:1265
τῇ μέν φύσει τῆς θεότητος, ὡς θεοί καί αὐτοί θέσει γινόμενοι κατά τό εἰρημένον ὑπό τοῦ Ἰωάννου·
one in the nature of the divinity, inasmuch as they themselves also become gods by adoption, according to what was said by John:
就神性的本性而言,是因他們也藉恩賜而成為神,正如約翰所說:
1:1266
Καί οἴδαμεν ὅτι φανερωθέντος αὐτοῦ, φησίν, ὅμοιοι αὐτῷ ἐσόμεθα
'And we know that,' he says, 'when he is manifested we shall be like him.'
他說:「我們知道,他顯現的時候,我們必要像他。」
1:1267
Ὅτι ἀπό τοῦ πληρώματος αὐτοῦ, φησίν, ἡμεῖς πάντες ἐλάβομεν·
'For of his fullness,' he says, 'we have all received';
他說:「因為從他的豐滿裡,我們都領受了;」
1:1268
τῇ δέ φύσει τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος, ὡς συγγενεῖς καί ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ χρηματίσαντες, καθώς καί ἑτέρωθι εἴπομεν
and one in the nature of the humanity, inasmuch as they have become his kinsmen and brothers, as we have also said elsewhere.
就人性的本性而言,是因他們已成為他的親屬和弟兄,正如我們在別處也曾說過的。
1:1269
Ταῦτα γάρ καί οἱ ἅγιοι εἰδότες πατέρες ἡμῶν ἀναφανδόν ἔλεγον·
For knowing these things, our holy fathers also said openly:
因為我們的聖教父們知道這些事,便公開地說:
1:1270
Δός αἷμα καί λάβε Πνεῦμα, ὡς τοῦ Πνεύματος ἄλλως μή διδομένου ἡμῖν, εἰ μή διά τῆς ἑκουσίου πρός τόν κόσμον σταυρώσεως ὁμοῦ καί νεκρώσεως
'Give blood and receive the Spirit,' since the Spirit is given to us in no other way except through the voluntary crucifixion toward the world, together with its mortification.
「你當付出血,就領受靈」,因為若不是藉著甘心向世界受釘十字架、同時向世界死去,這靈便不會以別的方式賜給我們。
1:1271
Πνεῦμα γάρ ὤν ὁ Θεός κατά τήν θείαν φωνήν, ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ βούλεται ἡμᾶς ἑνοῦσθαι αὐτῷ καί κολλᾶσθαι καί σύσσωμους εἶναι καί συγκληρονόμους αὐτοῦ, ὡς πᾶσα θεία Γραφή μαρτυρεῖ
For God, being Spirit according to the divine utterance, wills that we be united to him in the Holy Spirit, and be joined to him, and be fellow members of his body, and fellow heirs with him, as all divine Scripture testifies.
因為神照著那神聖的話語乃是靈,他願意我們在聖靈裡與他合一、與他聯合,作他的同體肢體,並與他同作後嗣,正如全部神聖的經文所見證的。
1:1272
Ἀλλ ἐπί τό προκείμενον ἐπανέλθωμεν
But let us return to the matter at hand.
但讓我們回到眼前的主題上來。
1:1273
Τοιγαροῦν ἔλαβε σάρκα ὁ Θεός Λόγος ἐκ τῆς ἁγνῆς Θεοτόκου καί δέδωκεν ἀντ αὐτῆς οὐ σάρκα, ἀλλά Πνεῦμα οὐσιωδῶς Ἅγιον
Therefore God the Word took flesh from the pure Theotokos, and gave in return for it not flesh, but the Holy Spirit substantially.
所以,神—道從那純潔的神之母領受了肉體,而作為回報,他所賜下的不是肉體,乃是本質上的聖靈。
1:1274
Καί ἐν πρώτοις ἐζωοποίησε τούτῳ τήν τιμίαν καί ὑπεράμωμον ταύτης ψυχήν, ἀναστήσας αὐτήν ἐν τοῦ θανάτου·
And by this he first gave life to her precious and most spotless soul, that is, the soul of that flesh, raising it up from death;
他首先藉此使那肉體寶貴、極其無瑕的靈魂復活,使其從死裡復甦;
1:1275
τοῦτο δέ ἐποίησεν, ἐπειδή ἡ Εὔα πρώτη τῷ ψυχικῷ θανάτῳ ἀπέθανε
and this he did because Eve was the first to die the death of the soul.
他這樣做,是因為夏娃首先死於靈魂的死亡。
1:1276
Σαρκωθείς δέ ἐγένετο ἄνθρωπος, σῶμα καί ἐν ἑαυτῷ ἔννουν μετά ψυχῆς κεκτημένος·
But having become incarnate, he became man, possessing in himself a body together with a rational soul;
但道成肉身之後,他成了人,在自己裡面擁有身體,並具有理性的靈魂;
1:1277
ταύτην γάρ τήν σάρκα καί τότε ἐκ τοῦ Ἀδάμ καί νῦν ἐκ τῆς Θεοτόκου ἐψυχωμένην ἀπορρήτως ἀνέλαβε καί οὕτως πᾶσαν τήν φύσιν ἡμῶν μυστικῶς ἀνεκαίνισε
for this flesh, animated with a soul both then from Adam and now from the Theotokos, he took up ineffably, and thus he mystically renewed our whole nature.
因為這已被賦予靈魂的肉體——當初出於亞當,如今出於神之母——他以不可言喻的方式取了它,如此就奧祕地更新了我們全部的本性。
1:1278
() Γεννηθείς δέ ἀφράστως, ὡς οἶδεν αὐτός, εἰς τόν κόσμον εἰσῆλθε
Having been born ineffably, as he himself knows, he entered into the world,
他以不可言喻的方式誕生——正如他自己所知的那樣——進入了世界,
1:1279
Ἵνα τόν ἐν τούτῳ τῷ κόσμῳ ἐξορισθέντα Ἀδάμ ζητήσῃ καί εὑρών ἀναπλάσῃ αὐτόν
in order that he might seek out Adam, who had been exiled in this world, and having found him, refashion him.
為要尋找那被放逐在這世界中的亞當,並在尋見他之後,重新塑造他。
1:1280
Καί θέα μοι ἐντεῦθεν, ἐπανάληψιν τῶν προειρημένων ποιουμένῳ, τό φρικτόν τῆς οἰκονομίας μυστήριον
And behold with me from this point on, as I take up again what has been said before, the awesome mystery of the divine economy.
請與我一同從此觀看——我現在要重述先前所說的——這救贖經綸的可畏奧祕。
1:1281
Ἔτι ὤν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ ἐκλήθη ὁ Ἀδάμ εἰς μετάνοιαν·
While still in paradise, Adam was called to repentance;
亞當還在樂園裡的時候,就被召去悔改;
1:1282
φησί γάρ ὁ Θεός πρός αὐτόν·
for God said to him:
因為神對他說:
1:1283
Ἀδάμ, ποῦ εἶ καί Τίς ἀνήγγειλέ σοι ὅτι γυμνός εἶ, εἰ μή ἀπό τοῦ ξύλου οὗ ἐνετειλάμην σοι τούτου μόνου μή φαγεῖν, ἀπ αὐτοῦ ἔφαγες; Καί ὅμως ταῦτα ἀκηκοώς οὐκ ἠβουλήθη μετανοῆσαι ἤ κλαῦσαι καί συγχώρησιν ἐξαιτήσασθαι
'Adam, where are you, and who told you that you are naked, unless you have eaten from that tree, of which alone I commanded you not to eat?' And yet, having heard these things, he was not willing to repent, or to weep, and to ask for forgiveness.
「亞當,你在哪裡?是誰告訴你,你是赤身露體的呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你惟獨不可吃的那棵樹上的果子嗎?」然而,他雖聽見這些話,卻不肯悔改,也不肯哭泣、祈求赦免。
1:1284
Αἴτιον τῆς ἀφροσύνης αὐτοῦ καί τῆς ἁμαρτίας τήν γυναῖκα ποιεῖται·
He makes the woman the cause of his folly and of his sin;
他反倒把那女人當作自己愚昧和罪過的原因;
1:1285
διό καί τοῦ παραδείσου εἰκότως ἐκβάλλεται
wherefore he is also justly cast out of paradise.
因此他理所當然地被逐出了樂園。
1:1286
Ἐπειδή δέ τηνικαῦτα μετανοῆσαι ὁ Ἀδάμ οὐκ ἠβουλήθη, τῇ τοῦ πονηροῦ δαίμονος καί τοῦτο ἐπιβουλῇ, διά τοῦτο πάλιν προσκαλεῖται πάντας διά τῆς μετανοίας πρός ἑαυτόν ἐλθών ἐπί τῆς γῆς ὁ Θεός καί φησι·
But since Adam was not willing to repent at that time, this too being the plot of the evil demon, for this reason God, coming again upon the earth, once more calls all men to himself through repentance, and says:
但由於那時亞當不肯悔改——這也是那惡魔的陰謀所致——因此神再次來到地上,藉著悔改重新召喚眾人歸向自己,並說:
1:1287
ἤγγικε γάρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
'for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.'
「因為天國近了。」
1:1288
Ἤγγικε, πρό τῶν πυλῶν ἵσταται τῶν καρδιῶν καί τῶν στομάτων ὑμῶν·
It has drawn near; it stands before the gates of your hearts and of your mouths;
近了——它就站在你們心門和口門的前面;
1:1289
ἀνοίξατε διά τῆς πίστεως τάς καρδίας ὑμῶν καί εὐθέως εἰσελεύσεται καί αὐτίκα διανοιχθήσονται τά στόματα ὑμῶν καί βοήσετε·
open your hearts through faith, and it will immediately enter in, and at once your mouths will be opened, and you will cry out:
你們當藉著信心敞開自己的心,它就會立刻進來,你們的口也會隨即開啟,你們就要喊叫說:
1:1290
Ἔχομεν τόν θησαυρόν τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν ἡμῖν, ἔχομεν·
'We have the treasure of the Spirit within us, we have it;'
「我們裡面有聖靈的寶藏,我們有了!」
1:1291
τήν ζωήν κεκτήμεθα ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν τήν αἰώνιον
'we possess eternal life in our hearts.'
「我們心中已擁有永遠的生命。」
1:1292
τούς Ἰουδαίους ἐν πρώτοις ἐκάλεσεν ὁ Θεός καί οὐκ ἐπείσθησαν ἀπελθεῖν·
God called the Jews first, and they were not persuaded to go to him;
神起初召了猶太人,他們卻不肯順從前來;
1:1293
καλεῖ πάντα τά ἔθνη διά τοῦ Υἱοῦ ἔσχατον, καί πεισθέντα προσέφυγον αὐτῷ καί προσέδραμον
last of all he calls all the nations through the Son, and, having been persuaded, they fled to him for refuge and ran to him.
最後他又藉著兒子召了萬邦,萬邦既信服,便投奔於他、奔向他。
1:1294
Διό καί πρός τούς αὐτοῦ ἀποστόλους φησίν·
Wherefore he also says to his apostles:
因此他也對自己的使徒們說:
1:1295
Πάντας οὖν προσκαλεῖται ἀπό ἀνατολῶν ἕως δυσμῶν, Ἑβραίους λέγω καί Ἕλληνας
So he calls all men to himself from the rising of the sun to its setting, I mean both Hebrews and Greeks.
所以他召喚所有人,從東到西——我是說,希伯來人和希臘人都在內。
1:1296
Προέγνω δέ, ὡς Θεός, τῶν Ἑβραίων, ὡς πολλάκις ἔφημεν, τήν ἐξ ἀπιστίας ἀπείθειαν καί τήν τῶν ἐθνῶν ἐκ πίστεως ἐπιστροφήν·
But as God he foreknew, as we have often said, the disobedience of the Hebrews arising from unbelief, and the conversion of the nations arising from faith;
但他既是神,就如我們屢次所說的,早已預知希伯來人因不信而生的悖逆,也預知外邦人因信而生的歸向;
1:1297
καί πρό τῶν αἰώνων προώρισεν ἵνα ὅσοι πιστεύσωσιν εἰς αὐτόν καί βαπτισθῶσιν εἰς τό ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, ἤγουν εἰς ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρός καί τοῦ Υἱοῦ καί τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, καί φάγωσι τό ἄχραντον σῶμα τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ καί πίωσι τό τίμιον αἷμα αὐτοῦ, δικαιωθῶσιν ἀπό τῆς ἁμαρτίας, ἐλευθερωθῶσι δηλονότι καί δοξασθῶσι καί ζωῆς αἰωνίου μέτοχοι γένωνται, καθώς αὐτός ἐκεῖνος ὁ τῶν ἁπάντων Δεσπότης φησίν·
and before the ages he predetermined that as many as should believe in him and be baptized into his name — that is, into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit — and should eat the undefiled body of his Son and drink his precious blood, should be justified from sin, that is, should be set free and glorified and become partakers of eternal life, just as that Master of all things himself says:
並且在萬世之先,他就預定了:凡信他、又奉他的名受洗——也就是奉父、子、聖靈的名——並吃他兒子那無玷污的身體、喝他寶貴之血的人,都要從罪中得稱義,也就是要得釋放、得榮耀,並成為永生的分享者,正如那萬有的主宰親自所說的:
1:1298
καί εἰς κρίσιν οὐκ ἔρχεται ἀλλά μεταβέβηκεν ἐκ τοῦ θανάτου εἰς τήν ζωήν
'and he does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.'
「他不至於被定罪,乃是已經出死入生了。」
1:1299
Ἰδού τοιγαροῦν καί προεγνώσθης ὑπό Θεοῦ, ἀδελφέ, καί προωρίσθης καί ἐκλήθης καί ἐδοξάσθης καί ἐδικαιώθης καί εἰς ζωήν αἰώνιον δά τῆς εἰς Χριστόν πίστεως καί τοῦ ἁγίου βαπτίσματος ἀνεκλήθης·
Behold, therefore, you too, brother, have been foreknown by God, and predetermined, and called, and glorified, and justified, and recalled to eternal life through faith in Christ and holy baptism;
所以看哪,弟兄啊,你也已經被神預先知道,被預定,被召,被榮耀,被稱義,並且藉著對基督的信心與聖洗,被召回到永遠的生命裡;
1:1300
καί οὐκ ἐν παραδείσῳ αἰσθητῷ, ὡς πρίν ὁ Ἀδάμ, εἰσηνέχθης, ἀλλ εἰς τόν οὐρανόν καί τά ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς ἀγαθά, ἅ ὀφθαλμός οὐκ εἶδε καί οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσε καί εἰς καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἀνέβη
and you have not been brought, as Adam was before, into a paradise perceived by the senses, but into heaven and the good things in the heavens, which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man.
你並不像從前的亞當那樣,被帶進一個可感覺的樂園,而是被帶進諸天,以及諸天之中的美善——那是眼睛未曾看見、耳朵未曾聽見、也未曾進入人心的。
1:1301
Ἐργάζου τοίνυν τάς ἀρετάς καί φύλασσε τάς ἐντολάς τοῦ Θεοῦ, μᾶλλον δέ σεαυτόν διά τῶν ἐντολῶν φύλαττε τοῦ μή παραβῆναί τι τῶν ἐνταλθέντων σοι, καί πείσῃ τό τοῦ Ἀδάμ ἤ μᾶλλον καί χείρω, τῶν μειζόνων καί οὐρανίων στερούμενος ἀγαθῶν
Work, therefore, the virtues, and keep the commandments of God — or rather, guard yourself through the commandments, so as not to transgress anything of what has been commanded you — lest you suffer the fate of Adam, or rather worse, being deprived of the greater, heavenly goods.
所以,你要行出各樣美德,並持守神的誡命——不如說,要藉著誡命保守自己,免得違背所吩咐你的任何一條——免得你遭遇亞當那樣的下場,或者更糟,被剝奪那更大、屬天的美善。
1:1302
Μή προτιμήσῃς ἔτι () τῶν ἐπιγείων τινός μηδέ ἐπιθυμία τις τῶν φθειρομένων κατακρατήσῃ σου, ἵνα γυμνωθῇς τῆς δόξης ἧς ἐδοξάσθης παρά Χριστοῦ καί ὡς μή ἐνδεδυμένος ἔνδυμα γάμου δεθήσῃ χεῖρας καί πόδας καί ἐκβληθήσῃ εἰς τό σκότος τό ἐξώτερον ἐν ᾧ ὑπάρχει ὁ κλαυθμός καί ὁ βρυγμός τῶν ὀδόντων
No longer prefer anything earthly, nor let any desire for perishable things overpower you, lest you be stripped of the glory with which you were glorified by Christ, and, as one not clothed with the wedding garment, be bound hand and foot and cast out into the outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.
不要再看重任何屬地的事物,也不要讓任何對必朽壞之物的貪慾勝過你,免得你被剝去那從基督所得的榮耀,並像一個沒有穿禮服的人,被捆綁手腳,丟在外面的黑暗裡,在那裡必要哀哭切齒。
1:1303
Ἡ εἰς Χριστόν πίστις ὁ νέος ἐστί παράδεισος
Faith in Christ is the new paradise.
對基督的信就是新的樂園。
1:1304
οὕς καί ἐκάλεσε καί μέχρι συντελείας καλῶν οὐ παύσεται, καί ἐδόξασε καί δοξάσει, καί ἐδικαίωσε καί δικαιώσει, συμμόρφους δηλονότι τῆς δόξης τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ διά τοῦ ἁγίου βαπτίσματος καί τῆς τοῦ Πνεύματος χάριτος ἀποδεικνύων αὐτούς, υἱούς Θεοῦ πάντας αὐτούς μυστικῶς ἐργαζόμενος καί καινούς ἀπό παλαιῶν καί ἐκ θνητῶν ἀθανάτους αὐτούς ἀποκαθιστῶν καί διδούς αὐτοῖς ἐντολάς, καθώς ποτε τῷ Ἀδάμ
Whom he has both called, and will not cease calling until the consummation, and has glorified and will glorify, and has justified and will justify, plainly showing them to be conformed to the glory of the image of his Son, through holy baptism and the grace of the Spirit, mystically making them all sons of God, and restoring them from old to new and from mortal to immortal, and giving them commandments, as once he did to Adam;
這些人,他既已召了,且直到末了也不停止召喚;他既已榮耀,也將榮耀;既已稱義,也將稱義——藉著聖洗和聖靈的恩典,明明顯出他們與他兒子那榮耀的形像相合,奧祕地使他們都成為神的兒女,使他們從舊變新、從必死變不死,並賜給他們誡命,正如當初賜給亞當一樣;
1:1305
περί τόν εὐεργέτην ὀφθῶσι καί τάς δοθείσας παρ αὐτοῦ ἐντολάς οὐ φυλάξουσι, τῶν τοιούτων ἀγαθῶν, ὡς ὁ Ἀδάμ τοῦ παραδείσου, ἐκπίπτουσι, οὐχί παρά τό μή προεγνῶσθαι αὐτούς παρά τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀλλ ἐξ οἰκείας ἀφροσύνης καί πονηρίας τοῦτο πανθάνοντες
but if they should prove remiss toward their benefactor and not keep the commandments given by him, they fall from such good things, as Adam fell from paradise — not because they were not foreknown by God, but suffering this from their own folly and wickedness.
但〔若〕他們對施恩者顯出虧欠,不持守他所賜下的誡命,就要如亞當失落樂園一般,從這樣的美善中墜落——這並非因為神沒有預先知道他們,而是因為他們自己的愚昧和邪惡所致。
1:1306
Διά δή τοῦτο καί μέσον τοῦ παραδείσου τούτου προέθετο ὁ Θεός τό σωτήριον φάρμακον, τήν μετάνοιαν, ὡς ἄν οἱ ἐκ ῥᾳθυμίας καί ἀμελείας ἐκπίπτοντες τῆς αἰωνίου ζωῆς διά τῆς μετανοίας πάλιν μετά λαμπροτέρας καί περιφανεστέρας δόξης εἰς αὐτήν ἐπανέρχωνται·
For this very reason, God also set forth in the midst of this paradise the saving remedy, namely repentance, so that those who fall from eternal life through indolence and negligence might, through repentance, return to it again with a more radiant and more illustrious glory;
正因如此,神就在這樂園當中設立了拯救的良藥,就是悔改,好叫那些因懶惰疏忽而失落永生的人,能藉著悔改再次回到永生裡,並且帶著更燦爛、更顯赫的榮耀;
1:1307
εἰ μή γάρ τοῦτο ὁ φιλάνθρωπος Θεός ᾠκοδόμησεν, οὐκ ἄν ἐσώθη πᾶσα σάρξ
for if the God who loves mankind had not established this, no flesh would have been saved.
因為若不是那愛世人的神設立了這一點,就沒有一個血肉之軀能夠得救。
1:1308
() Τοίνυν καί πᾶσαν ἄλλην μέριμναν καταλιπόντες, τῆς μετανοίας ὅση δύναμις ἐπιμελησώμεθα, ἵνα καί τῶν παρόντων καί τῶν μελλόντων ἐπιτύχωμεν ἀγαθῶν χάριτι καί φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ᾧ ἡ δόξα καί τό κράτος εἰς τούς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων·
Therefore, having abandoned every other care, let us attend to repentance with all our strength, that we may obtain both the present and the future good things, by the grace and love for mankind of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the dominion unto the ages of ages.
所以,讓我們撇下一切別的掛慮,竭盡全力致力於悔改,好叫我們藉著我們主耶穌基督的恩典與慈愛,得著今世與來世的美善;願榮耀與權能都歸於他,直到永永遠遠。
1:1309
ΛΟΓΟΣ Γ΄ () Εἰς το ῥητόν τοῦ Ἀποστόλου ἐν ᾧ λέγει·
DISCOURSE III. On the saying of the Apostle in which he says:
第三篇講詞 論使徒所說的這句話:
1:1310
Καί εἶδον τόν τοιοῦτον εἰς τρίτον οὐρανόν ἁρπαγέντα καί ἀκούσαντα ἄρρητα ῥήματα ἅ οὐκ ἐξόν ἀνθρώπῳ ἀκοῦσαι
'And I knew such a man, caught up into the third heaven, who heard ineffable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.'
「我知道這樣一個人,被提到第三層天,聽見了隱祕的言語,是人不可說出的。」
1:1311
Τί οὖν εἰσιν ἅ ἀκήκοεν ὁ Παῦλος ἄρρητα ῥήματα;
What, then, are those ineffable words which Paul heard?
那麼,保羅所聽見的那些隱祕的言語,究竟是什麼呢?
1:1312
Τίνα δέ τά ἀγαθά ἅ ὀφθαλμός οὐκ εἶδε καί οὖς οὐκ ἤκουσε καί ἐπί καρδίαν ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἀνέβη;
And what are the good things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have they entered into the heart of man?
那眼睛未曾看見、耳朵未曾聽見、也未曾進入人心的美善,究竟是什麼呢?
1:1313
Τίς δέ ἤ πῶς ἔσται καί ἔστιν εἰς ἡμᾶς ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ βασιλεία καί τίς ἡ ἐν ἡμῖν ταύτης ἐνέργεια;
And what, or how, is and shall be for us the kingdom of God, and what is its working within us?
神的國對我們而言究竟是什麼,又將如何臨到我們——它現今又是如何?這國度在我們裡面的運行又是什麼呢?
1:1314
Ἐπειδήπερ διαρρήδην ὁ τόν ἁπάντων Δεσπότης καθ ἑκάστην διά τῶν εὐαγγελίων βοᾷ, τά μέν συνεσκιασμένως λέγων, ὅταν ἐν παραβολαῖς διαλέγηται, τά δέ διερμηνεύων κατ ἰδίαν τοῖς ἑαυτοῦ μαθηταῖς, οὕτω λέγων·
Since indeed the Master of all things cries out expressly every day through the Gospels, saying some things in a veiled manner, whenever he converses in parables, but interpreting other things privately to his own disciples, speaking thus:
既然那萬有的主宰,天天藉著福音書明確地宣告——有時用比喻說話,話語隱晦;有時卻私下向自己的門徒解釋清楚——如此說道:
1:1315
Ὑμῖν δέδοται γνῶναι τά μυστήρια τῆς βασιλείας τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῖς δέ λοιποῖς ἐν παραβολαῖς, καί ποτε παρρησίᾳ πάντα καί ἀποκεκαλυμμένα λέγει πρός πάντας ἡμᾶς, ὥς φασι πρός αὐτόν οἱ ἀπόστολοι·
'To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables' — and at times he speaks all things openly and unveiled to all of us, as the apostles say to him:
「你們已蒙賜下,得知神國的奧祕,其餘的人卻只能藉比喻聽聞」——而有時他又坦率、毫不隱藏地對我們眾人講說一切,正如使徒們對他所說的:
1:1316
Ἴδε, φασί, παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖς καί παροιμίαν οὐδεμίαν λέγεις, ζητῆσαι χρεών καί μαθεῖν ποῖα τά παρρησίᾳ καί ἀπογεγυμνωμένα, ποῖα δέ ἐν παραβολαῖς ὑπό τοῦ Κυρίου καί Θεοῦ εἰρημένα
'Behold,' they say, 'now you are speaking plainly and are not using any figure of speech' — it is necessary to inquire and learn which things were spoken plainly and openly by the Lord and God, and which were spoken in parables.
他們說:「看哪,現在你是明說,並不用什麼比喻了」——因此我們有必要去查考、明白:主與神所說的話中,哪些是明白坦率說出的,哪些又是用比喻說的。
1:1317
Τά μέν οὖν δῆλα τῶν ἐντολῶν καί γυμνά εἰσιν ὅταν ὁ Εὐγγελιστής λέγῃ·
Now, the commandments are clear and plain whenever the Evangelist says:
那麼,當福音書作者這樣說的時候,那些誡命就是清楚明白的:
1:1318
ἀγαπᾶτε τούς ἐχθρούς ὑμῶν, καλῶς ποιεῖτε τούς μισοῦντας ὑμᾶς, καί ὅταν μακαρίζῃ μέν τούς πενθοῦντας, ταλανίζῃ δέ τούς γελῶντας, () καί ὅταν λέγῃ·
'Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,' and when he blesses those who mourn but pronounces woe upon those who laugh, and when he says:
「要愛你們的仇敵,善待恨你們的人」;又如他稱哀慟的人有福,卻宣告嬉笑的人有禍了;又如他說:
1:1319
ἤγγικε γάρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν, καί πάλιν·
'for the kingdom of heaven has drawn near'; and again:
「因為天國近了」;又如:
1:1320
Ὁ θέλων σῶσαι τήν ψυχήν αὐτοῦ ἀπολέσει αὐτήν καί ὁ ἀπολέσας τήν ψυχήν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ εἰς ζωήν αἰώνιον εὑρήσει αὐτήν, καί·
'He who wishes to save his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it unto eternal life'; and:
「凡想要救自己性命的,必喪掉性命;凡為我喪掉性命的,必得著永生」;又如:
1:1321
Ὅστις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτόν καί ἀράτω τόν σταυρόν αὐτοῦ καί ἀκολουθείτω μοι
'Whoever wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'
「若有人要跟從我,就當捨己,背起他的十字架來跟從我。」
1:1322
Ταῦτα τοίνυν καί τά τούτοις ἑπόμενα οὐκ ἐν παραβολαῖς, ἀλλά φανερά καί μηδεμίαν ἐγκεκρυμμένην ἔννοιαν ἔχοντα εἴρηται
These things, then, and those that follow them, were spoken not in parables, but plainly, having no hidden meaning concealed within them.
因此,這些話以及與之相關的話,並不是用比喻說的,乃是清楚明白地說的,其中並沒有隱藏任何含意。
1:1323
Τά δέ γε ἐν παραβολαῖς εἰσιν ὅταν λέγῃ·
But the things spoken in parables are these, whenever he says:
至於用比喻所說的話,則是像他這樣說的時候:
1:1324
Τίνι ὁμοιώσωμεν τήν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ;
'To what shall we liken the kingdom of God?'
「我們可用什麼比擬神的國呢?」
1:1325
Ὁμοία ἐστί κόκκῳ σινάπεως ὅν λαβών ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ·
'It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his own garden;'
「它好比一粒芥菜種,有人拿去種在自己的園子裡;」
1:1326
καί αὐξηθέν ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον μέγα καί ὅταν πάλιν φησίν·
'and having grown, it became a great tree'; and again, when he says:
「長大了,就成了一棵大樹」;又如他再說:
1:1327
Ὁμοία ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ἀνθρώπῳ ζητοῦντι καλούς μαργαρίτας καί πάλιν·
'The kingdom of heaven is like a man seeking fine pearls'; and again:
「天國好像一個尋找好珠子的商人」;又如:
1:1328
Ὁμοία ἐστίν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν ζύμῃ ἥν λαβοῦσα γυνή ἔκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία, ἕως οὗ ἐζυμώθη ὅλον
'The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until the whole was leavened.'
「天國好像麵酵,有婦人拿來藏在三斗麵裡,直到全團都發起來。」
1:1329
Ταῦτα καί ἕτερα τούτων πλείονα οὕτω λέγων καί παρομοιάζων τοῖς τοιούτοις τήν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν, παραβολάς καλεῖ
Saying these things, and many others besides these, and likening the kingdom of heaven to such things, he calls them parables.
他這樣說出這些話,以及比這更多的話,並用這類事物來比擬天國,把這些稱為比喻。
1:1330
Καί ὅρα μοι σοφίαν ἐντεῦθεν Θεοῦ, πῶς διά τῶν αἰσθητῶν ὑποδειγμάτων καί τῶν δοκούντων ἡμῖν εὐτελῶν εἶναι τά ὑπέρ νοῦν καί διάνοιαν ὑποζωγραφεῖ
And observe with me here the wisdom of God, how through sensible examples, and through things that seem to us to be lowly, he sketches out for us the things that are beyond mind and understanding.
請與我一同從此觀看神的智慧:他如何藉著感官可見的例子,以及在我們看來卑微的事物,來描繪出那超越理智與思維的事。
1:1331
μετά πληροφορίας τόν λόγον δεχόμενοι τῶν παραβολῶν αὐτήν τήν ἀλήθειαν καί τήν τῶν πραγμάτων ἐναργῆ θεάσωνται ἐπ αὐτοῖς ἔκβασιν
...receiving the meaning of the parables with full assurance, so that they may behold in them the very truth itself and the manifest outcome of the matters.
……懷著十足的確信領受比喻的意義,好使他們在其中看見真理本身,以及事情所顯明出來的結果。
1:1332
Αἱ γάρ παραβολαί αὗται εἰκόνες τῶν γινομένων πραγμάτων εἰσί·
For these parables are images of things that come to pass.
因為這些比喻乃是那些將要成就之事的影像。
1:1333
Ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σινέπεως τό πανάγιον Πνεῦμά ἐστι·
The grain of mustard seed is the all-holy Spirit.
芥菜種就是那至聖的聖靈。
1:1334
τοῦτο γάρ καί τήν βασιλείαν μοι νόει εἶναι τῶν οὐρανῶν καί οὐχ ἕτερόν τι
For understand this, in my view, to be the kingdom of heaven, and nothing else.
因為依我看,你當明白,這也就是天國,並非別的什麼。
1:1335
Ἄνθρωπος δέ () ἐστιν ὁ πᾶς πιστός καί βουλόμενος διά τῆς ἐργασίας τῶν ἐντολῶν τοῦτον τόν κόκκον λαβεῖν
And 'the man' is every believer who, through the doing of the commandments, wishes to receive this grain.
而『那人』就是每一個信徒,他願意藉著遵行誡命來領受這粒種子。
1:1336
Κῆπος δέ οὐδείς ἕτερος τόπος ἐστίν εἰ μή ἑκάστου ἡμῶν ἡ καρδία, ἔνθα τόν ἕνα κόκκον τοῦτον – οὐ τούς πολλούς, οὐδέ γάρ ἀπό τῶν διχοτομουμένων ὑπάρχει , τόν ἄτμητον ὄντα τῇ φύσει καί ἀδιαίρετον λαμβάνοντες, κρύβομεν ἐν αὐτῇ·
And 'the garden' is no other place than the heart of each of us, where we take this one grain — not many grains, for it does not come from things that can be divided, being by nature uncuttable and indivisible — and hide it within the heart.
而『園子』不是別的地方,正是我們各人的心;在那裡,我們領受這獨一的一粒種子——並非許多粒,因為它不是出於可分割之物,乃是本性不可切割、不可分之物——我們把它藏在心裡。
1:1337
πάσῃ δέ φυλακῇ τηροῦντες ἑαυτούς καί φυλάττοντες, αὐτός αὐξάνει ὡς οὐκ ἴσμεν ἡμεῖς καί φυείς ὁρᾶται καί αὐξηθείς ἐπί πολύ ἐπιγινώσκεται παρά τῶν ἐν οἷς ἐφύη καί εἰς δένδρον γενόμενος καί κλάδους ποιήσας πολλούς ἄφραστον τῷ κεκτημένῳ αὐτόν ἐμποιεῖ τήν χαράν
And guarding and keeping ourselves with all watchfulness, it grows of itself in a way we do not know; once it has sprung up it is seen, and having grown greatly it is recognized by those in whom it sprouted, and having become a tree and put forth many branches, it produces in the one who possesses it an ineffable joy.
我們竭力謹守、保護自己,這種子便按著我們所不知道的方式自行生長;一旦發芽,便被看見;長大之後,便被那使它發芽之人所認出;它長成一棵樹,生出許多枝子,使擁有它的人心裡充滿無法言喻的喜樂。
1:1338
Ὥσπερ οὖν δίχα τοῦ σπόρου οὐδέν ὁ κῆπος χρήσιμον προφέρει εἰ μή μόνον ἀκάνθας καί βοτάνας ἀγρίας καί ὁ σπόρος δίχα τοῦ βληθῆναι εἰς κῆπον οὐ καρποφορεῖ, ἀλλά μένει μόνος οἷόν ἐστιν, οὕτω δή καί ἡμῶν ἀληθῶς αἱ ψυχαί δίχα τοῦ θείου σπόρου ἄκαρποι καί ἀκανθηφόροι διατελοῦσι καί γίνονται
Just as, without seed, the garden produces nothing useful but only thorns and wild weeds, and the seed, without being cast into a garden, bears no fruit but remains alone just as it is, so also, in truth, our souls, without the divine seed, remain and become fruitless and thorn-bearing.
正如園子若沒有種子,就不會產出任何有用之物,只長出荊棘與野草;種子若不撒入園中,也不結果子,只能照它本來的樣子孤獨存留;照樣,我們的靈魂若沒有這神聖的種子,也確實一直是且變得毫無果實、只生荊棘。
1:1339
Ὁ γάρ θεῖος σπόρος, πρό τοῦ ἐν ἡμῖν ἤγουν ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ἡμῶν ἐμβληθῆναι, αὐτός μένει μέν οἷος ὅλος ὑπάρχει Θεός, μήτε προσθήκην δεχόμενος μήτε μήν ὕφεσιν ὑπομένων τό σύνολον, ἐν ἡμῖν δέ οὔτε φύει ὅλως οὔτε αὔξησιν ἐπιδέχεται
For the divine seed, before it is cast into us, that is, into our hearts, itself remains just as it wholly is, God, receiving neither increase nor undergoing any diminution whatsoever; but in us it neither sprouts at all nor admits of growth [until it is sown].
因為這神聖的種子,在被撒入我們裡面、也就是我們心中之前,本身始終保持它整全的樣式,就是神,既不接受任何增添,也絕不承受任何減損;但在我們裡面,它若未撒下,便完全不會發芽,也無從生長。
1:1340
Πῶς γάρ ὁ κατά συνάφειαν διεστώς ἴσα τοῖς συναφθεῖσιν αὐτῷ τήν αὐξητικήν δύναμιν ἐπιδείξεται;
For how shall that which stands apart in respect of union display a power of growth equal to that of things joined to it?
因為那在聯合上尚未連接、彼此分離之物,怎能與已經與之聯合之物顯出同等的生長能力呢?
1:1341
Οὐδαμῶς, ὥσπερ οὐδέ τό πῦρ ὅλην ἀνάπτει ποτέ ἧς μή προσψαύσειεν, οὐδέ ὕλη ἐμπίπραται, εἰ μή τῷ πυρί ἑνωθῇ καθ ὑπόσταστιν
In no way whatsoever — just as fire never sets ablaze the whole of anything it has not touched, nor does fuel ever catch fire unless it be united with the fire in actual substance.
絕不能——正如火從未點燃它從未觸及之物的全體,木柴也不會著火,除非它按位格、實質地與火合而為一。
1:1342
Τοίνυν καί καθάπερ τά τῶν θείων εὐαγγελίων, τά μέν συνεσκιασμένως, ὡς εἴρηται, καί διά παραβολῶν λέγεται πρός ἡμᾶς, τά δέ παρρησίᾳ καί ἀπερικαλύπτως, οὕτω καί τά τῶν ἀποστολικῶν καί θεοφράστων ῥημάτων οὐ πάντα φανερῶς καί ἄνευ παραπετάσματός τινος λέγεται πρός ἡμᾶς, ἀλλ ἔσθ ὅτε πολλῆς τῆς ἐξετάσεως καί ἑρμηνείας δεόμενα, βάθος νοημάτων καί μυστηρίων ἐν τῷ () ῥητῷ πως ἐπιφερόμενα
Therefore, just as some sayings of the divine Gospels, as has been said, are spoken to us in a veiled manner and through parables, while others are spoken with boldness and without any covering, so also not all of the apostolic and God-inspired sayings are spoken to us plainly and without some veil; rather, they sometimes require much examination and interpretation, bearing somehow within the saying itself a depth of thoughts and mysteries.
因此,正如神聖福音書中的話語,有些如前所述是以隱晦的方式並藉比喻對我們說出,有些則是坦率而毫無遮蔽地說出;照樣,使徒及那些由神啟示之人的言語,也並非全都明白地、毫無遮蔽地對我們說出,反倒有時需要極多的考察與詮釋,因為在其言辭之中,某種程度上蘊含著意念與奧祕的深度。
1:1343
Καί, εἰ δοκεῖ, μιᾶς τῶν ἀποστολικῶν ῥημάτων ὑποθέσεώς τε καί θεωρίας ἁψώμεθα καί ὀψόμεθα τί τά βάθη τοῦ Πνεύματος, ἐπειδή κατά τό θεῖον λόγιον Τό Πνεῦμα πάντα ἐρευνᾷ καί τά βάθη τοῦ Θεοῦ
And, if it seems good, let us take hold of one subject and contemplation among the apostolic sayings, and let us see what the depths of the Spirit are, since, according to the divine oracle, 'The Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.'
那麼,若蒙允准,讓我們來探討使徒言語中的一項主題與默觀,看看聖靈的深奧究竟為何,因為按照神聖的話語所說:『聖靈參透萬事,連神深奧的事也參透了。』
1:1344
Τίς οὖν ἐστιν αὕτη καί ὁποία τῆς θεωρίας τοῦ λόγου ἀπαρχή;
What, then, is this, and what is the starting point for the contemplation of this saying?
那麼,這是什麼,而默觀這段話的起點又是什麼呢?
1:1345
Τά ἄρρητα ῥήματα ἅ εἰς τρίτον οὐρανόν ὁ θεῖος ἁρπαγείς Παῦλος ἀκήκοεν
The ineffable words which the divine Paul, having been caught up into the third heaven, heard.
就是那些神聖的保羅被提到第三層天時所聽見的、不可言喻的話語。
1:1346
Ἀλλά γάρ ἐκ προοιμίων αὐτῶν τί ἐστι ῥῆμα πρῶτον ζητήσωμεν, ἵν οὕτω καθ ὁδόν ἐρχόμενοι τήν δύναμιν γνῶμεν τῶν ἀποστολικῶν ῥημάτων καλῶς
But let us first inquire, from the very outset, what a 'word' is, so that, proceeding thus in order, we may rightly come to know the meaning of the apostolic sayings.
但讓我們先從最起初探討「話語」究竟是什麼,好使我們循序而行,得以正確明白使徒言語的意義。
1:1347
Ρῆμα τοιγαροῦν ὁ λόγος ἐστίν, ὥσπερ οὖν καί ὁ λόγος ῥῆμα καλεῖται·
'Utterance,' then, is 'reason' (logos), just as also 'reason' is called 'utterance' (rhema).
所以「話語」(ῥῆμα)就是「道」(λόγος),正如「道」也被稱為「話語」。
1:1348
Εἰπέ γάρ, φησί, λόγον καί ἰαθήσεται ὁ παῖς μου
'For speak,' he says, 'a word, and my servant shall be healed.'
因為經上說:『只要你說一句話,我的僕人就必痊癒。』
1:1349
Εἰπέ ῥῆμά τι πρός Κύριον καί τελεύτα
'Speak some word against the Lord, and die.'
『你向主說句話,然後死了吧。』
1:1350
Τά ῥήματα τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ
'The words of his mouth.'
『他口中的言語。』
1:1351
Καί τά μέν ῥήματα καί οἱ λόγοι τῶν ἀνθρώπων στόμασι λαλοῦνται ἀνθρώπων καί ὠσίν ὡσαύτως ἀνθρωπίνοις ἀκούονται, τό δέ ῥῆμα τοῦ Θεοῦ καί ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ, διά τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξερχόμενος, ἄφραστός ἐστι παντελῶς ἀνθρωπίνῃ γλώσσῃ καί ἀκοῇ σαρκίνῃ πάντῃ ἀχώρητος, οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλά καί εἰς αἴσθησιν αὐτῆς μή δυνάμενος ἐλθεῖν, τῆς αἰσθήσεως δηλονότι μή ἰσχυούσης αἰσθανθῆναι τά ὑπέρ αἴσθησιν
And while the words and utterances of men are spoken by human mouths and likewise heard by human ears, the word of God and his logos, going forth through his mouth, is altogether inexpressible by human tongue and wholly uncontainable by fleshly hearing; and not only that, but it is also unable to come within its perception, since perception, of course, has no power to perceive what is above perception.
人的言語與話語,是藉人的口所出,也照樣為人的耳所聞;然而神的話語與祂的道,從祂的口中發出,卻是人的舌頭完全無法言傳的,也是肉身的聽覺完全無法容納的;不但如此,它甚至無法進入感官的知覺範圍之內,因為感官顯然無力去感知那超乎感官的事物。
1:1352
Ρῆμα οὖν καί λόγον κατά πρώτην ἐπιβολήν θεωρίας οὐδένα ἄλλον γινώσκομεν ἤ τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί Πατρός, αὐτόν τόν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν τόν ὄντως ὄντα Θεόν·
'Word' and 'logos,' then, at the first application of contemplation, we know to be none other than the Son of God the Father, our Lord Jesus Christ himself, who truly and really is God.
所以「話語」與「道」,就默觀的初步理解而言,我們知道並非別的,正是父神的兒子——我們的主耶穌基督本身,那真正實存的神。
1:1353
στόμα δέ αὐτοῦ τό λαλοῦν τά ἄρρητα ῥήματα οὐδέν ἕτερον ἤ αὐτό τό Ἅγιον καί ὁμοούσιον Πνεῦμα, καθώς ὁ προφήτης φησί·
And his mouth, which speaks the ineffable words, is nothing other than the Holy and consubstantial Spirit itself, as the prophet says:
而祂那說出不可言喻話語的口,不是別的,正是那聖潔、同質的聖靈本身,正如先知所說:
1:1354
Τό γάρ στόμα Κυρίου ἐλάλησε ταῦτα ἀντί τοῦ τό Πνεῦμα Κυρίου
'For the mouth of the Lord has spoken these things' — in place of saying, 'the Spirit of the Lord.'
『因為這是耶和華的口說的』——這等於是說『耶和華的靈』說的。
1:1355
Στόμα τοίνυν Θεοῦ τό Ἅγιον Πνεῦμά ἐστιν, ῥῆμα δέ καί λόγος ὁ Υἱός αὐτοῦ καί Θεός
The mouth of God, then, is the Holy Spirit, while the word and logos is his Son and God.
所以,神的口就是聖靈,而「話語」與「道」就是祂的兒子、也是神。
1:1356
Διά τί δέ τό Πνεῦμα στόμα καλεῖται Θεοῦ, ὁ δέ Υἱός ῥῆμα καί λόγος;
But why is the Spirit called the mouth of God, while the Son is called word and logos?
但為何聖靈被稱為神的口,而聖子卻被稱為「話語」與「道」呢?
1:1357
ὁ ἐν ἡμῖν προέρχεται καί τοῖς ἄλλοις ἀποκαλύπτεται καί ἄλλως οὐκ ἔστιν εἰπεῖν ἤ δηλῶσαι αὐτόν, εἰ μή διά τῆς τοῦ στόματος φθογγῆς, οὕτως οὐδέ ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Θεοῦ καί Λόγος, εἰ μή διά τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ὡς διά στόματος λαληθῇ ἤγουν ἀποκαλυφθῇ, γνωσθῆναι ἤ ἀκουσθῆναι οὐ δύναται
[Just as our word,] which proceeds within us and is revealed to others, cannot be spoken or made known in any other way except through the sound of the mouth, so too the Son of God and Word cannot be known or heard unless he is spoken, that is, revealed, through the Holy Spirit as through a mouth.
〔正如我們裡面的道〕在我們裡面發出、並向他人顯明,除了藉著口的發聲之外,別無他法可以說出或使人知曉;照樣,神的兒子、道,若不是藉著聖靈如同藉著口說出、也就是被啟示出來,也就無法被人認識或聽見。
1:1358
Τό δέ οὐ δύναται ἀντί τοῦ οὐκ ἐνδέχεται, οὐδέ βούλεται, λέγομεν ἐνταῦθα, ὡς καί τό ἀδύνατον ψεύσασθαι Θεόν
And by 'cannot' here we mean 'it is not possible,' not 'he does not wish to,' just as also [we say] it is impossible for God to lie.
而我們在此所說的『不能』,是指『不可能』,而非『不願意』,正如經上所說『神是絕不能說謊的』。
1:1359
Καθάπερ δέ τό ἡμέτερον στόμα εἰ μή ἀνοίξομεν, οὐδέ γάρ ἐσφιγμένου ὑπάρχοντος ὁ λόγος ἡμῶν ἐξελθεῖν δύναται, οὕτως οὐδέ τό στόμα τοῦ Θεοῦ, αὐτό δή τό Ἅγιον Πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ, εἰ μή διά τῆς ἐν ἡμῖν γινομένης ἐλλάμψεως αὐτοῦ ἀνοιγῇ, οὐ τό Πνεῦμα δέ, ἀλλ ὁ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐλλαμπόμενος νοῦς ἡμῶν, ὁ Υἱός καί Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ὁρᾶται, οὔτε γινώσκεται, οὔτε μή ἀποκαλύπτεται τῇ ὀπτικῇ καί ἀκουστικῇ αἰσθήσει ἡμῶν
Just as, if we do not open our mouth, our word cannot come forth, since it remains closed, so too, unless the mouth of God — that is, his Holy Spirit — is opened through the illumination that comes to be within us (it is not the Spirit that is seen, but our mind, illumined by him), the Son and Word of God is neither seen, nor known, nor in any way revealed to our sight and hearing.
正如我們若不張口,我們的話便無法出來,因為口是閉著的;照樣,神的口——也就是祂的聖靈——若不藉著在我們裡面所生的光照而開啟(被看見的並非聖靈本身,而是那從祂得著光照的我們的心智),神的兒子與道就既不能被看見,也不能被認識,更不能以任何方式向我們的視覺與聽覺顯明。
1:1360
Τά γοῦν ἄρρητα ῥήματα ἅ ὁ θεῖος Παῦλος, ὡς ἔφη, ἀκήκοεν, οὐδέν ἕτερόν τι εἰσι κατά γε τήν ἡμετέραν τῆς ἀσθενοῦς διανοίας κατάληψιν ἤ πάντως αἱ μυστικαί καί ἐπ ἀληθῶς ἀνέκφραστοι διά τῆς ἐλλάμψεως τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος θεωρίαι τε καί ὑπερμεγαλοπρεπεῖς ἄγνωστοι γνώσεις, εἴτ οὖν ἀθέατοι θεωρίαι τῆς ὑπερφώτου καί ὑπεραγνώστου τοῦ Υἱοῦ καί Λόγου τοῦ Θεοῦ δόξης τε καί θεότητος·
The ineffable words, then, which the divine Paul, as he said, heard, are nothing other, at least according to our comprehension by our feeble understanding, than the mystical and truly inexpressible contemplations granted through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, and the surpassingly magnificent, unknown knowledges — or rather, the unseen contemplations of the surpassingly luminous and surpassingly unknowable glory and divinity of the Son and Word of God.
因此,神聖的保羅所說他所聽見的那些不可言喻的話語,依我們軟弱悟性所能領悟的,不是別的,正是那藉聖靈光照而來的、神祕且真正無法言傳的默觀,以及那超乎宏偉、無從得知的知識——或者更確切地說,就是對神子與道那超乎光明、超乎可知的榮耀與神性的、不可得見的默觀。
1:1361
αἵτινες, τοῖς ἀξίοις ἐκφαντικώτερόν τε καί τρανότερον ἀποκαλυπτόμεναι, δείκνυνται αἱ τῶν ἀφθέγκτων ῥημάτων ἀνήκοοι ἀκοαί, ἡ τῶν ἀκαταλήπτων πραγμάτων ἐν ἀκαταληψίᾳ κατάληψις
which, being revealed more manifestly and more clearly to the worthy, are shown to be the unhearable hearings of unutterable words, the comprehension, in incomprehension, of incomprehensible things.
這些默觀,向那配得的人更清楚、更明白地顯露出來時,便顯明是那無法言傳話語的『不可聞之聞』,是那不可理解之事在不可理解中的『領悟』。
1:1362
Ἀκήκοα ῥήματα ἄρρητα, ἡμεῖς δέ ταῦτα τόν Υἱόν εἴπομεν εἶναι καί ἄλλως τοῦ Θεοῦ καί Πατρός διά τοῦ Ἁγίου λαλούμενον Πνεύματος καί ἅμα διά τῆς ἐλλάμψεως αὐτοῦ ἀποκαλυπτόμενον τοῖς ἀξίοις, τήν δέ ἔλλαμψιν εἴτ οὖν ἀποκάλυψιν διά θεωρίας γίνεσθαι μᾶλλον καί οὐχί δι ἀκοῆς, μή ξενισθῆς ἐπί τούτῳ, ἀλλά τήν λύσιν τούτου () ἀκηκοώς μάθε εἶναι πιστός καί μή ἄπιστος ᾖς
'I heard ineffable words' — and we have said that these are the Son, spoken by God the Father in no other way than through the Holy Spirit, and at the same time revealed to the worthy through his illumination; and that this illumination, or rather this revelation, comes about through contemplation rather than through hearing. Do not be astonished at this, but having heard the solution to it, learn to be a believer, and do not be unbelieving.
『我聽見了不可言喻的話語』——我們已說過,這些話語就是聖子,祂由父神藉聖靈說出,別無他法,同時也藉祂的光照向配得的人顯明;而這光照,或說是啟示,其實是藉默觀而非藉聽覺發生的。你不要因此而詫異,反倒要在聽了這個解答之後,學會作個有信的人,不要作沒有信心的人。
1:1363
Ὁ Θεός ἡ τῶν ὅλων αἰτία εἷς ἐστι·
God, the cause of all things, is one.
神——萬有的因——是獨一的。
1:1364
τό δέ ἕν τοῦτο φῶς καί ζωή ἐστι, πνεῦμα καί λόγος, στόμα καί ῥῆμα, σοφία καί γνῶσις, χαρά καί ἀγάπη, βασιλεία οὐρανῶν καί παράδεισος, οὐρανός οὐρανῶν, ὥσπερ καί ἥλιος ἡλίων καί Θεός θεῶν καί ἡμέρα καλεῖται ἀνέσπερος·
And this One is light and life, spirit and word, mouth and utterance, wisdom and knowledge, joy and love, the kingdom of heaven and paradise, the heaven of heavens; just as he is also called the sun of suns, and the God of gods, and the day without evening.
而這獨一者就是光與生命,靈與道,口與言語,智慧與知識,喜樂與愛,天國與樂園,諸天之天;正如祂也被稱為眾日之日、眾神之神,以及無夜之晝。
1:1365
καί πᾶν ὁτιοῦν ἄν εἴποις ἀπό τῶν ὁρωμένων καλόν, καί ὑπέρ τό πᾶν ζητῶν, εὑρήσεις τό ἕν τοῦτο ἐνυποστάτως ὄν καί κυρίως καλούμενον ἀγαθόν
And whatever good thing you might name among the things that are seen, and seeking beyond all things, you will find this One existing hypostatically and properly called the Good.
凡你能從可見之物中舉出的任何美善之物,你若更進一步超乎萬有去尋求,就會發現這獨一者乃是那位格性地存在、且真正被稱為『善』的那一位。
1:1366
Οὐχ ὡς τά ὁρώμενα δέ τοιοῦτον κἀκεῖνό ἐστιν, ἀλλ ἀσυγκρίτως καί ἀρρήτως ὑπέρ ἅπαντα τά ὁρώμενα·
Yet that One is not such as the things that are seen, but is incomparably and ineffably above all things seen.
然而那位並不像可見之物那樣,乃是無可比擬、無法言喻地超乎一切可見之物。
1:1367
οὐδέ καθ ἕν τούτων ὡς ταῦτα καί τό ἕν ἐκεῖνο κεχωρισμένως εὑρίσκεται, ἀλλ ἕν μένον ἀναλλοιώτως καί τό αὐτό πανάγαθόν ἐστι καί ὑπέρ πᾶν ἀγαθόν
Nor is that One found separately in each of these, as these things are found individually; rather, remaining one and unchangeable, and the very same, he is all-good and above every good.
那獨一者也不像這些個別事物那樣,各自分別存在;祂始終如一、不變,仍是同一位,祂是全然的美善,且超乎一切美善。
1:1368
Οὕτω τοιγαροῦν τετίμηται καί αὐτός ὁ κατ εἰκόνα Θεοῦ καί ὁμοίωσιν κτισθείς ἄνθρωπος, μίαν αἴσθησιν ἔχων ἐν μιᾷ ψυχῇ καί νοΐ καί λόγῳ, εἰ καί πενταχῶς διαμερίζεται ταῖς φυσικαῖς ἀνάγκαις τοῦ σώματος, πρός μέν τά σωματικά διά τῶν πέντε διαιρουμένη ἀδιαιρέτως αἰσθήσεων, ἥτις καί ἀναλλοιώτως ἀλλοιουμένη τήν ἐνέργειαν δείκνυσι, βλέπουσα οὐκ αὐτή, ἀλλά δι αὐτῆς ἡ ψυχή, οὕτω δέ καί ἀκούουσα καί ὀσφραινομένη καί γευομένη καί τῇ ἁφῇ διακρίνουσα
Thus, then, has man also been honored, having been created according to the image and likeness of God, possessing one perceptive faculty in one soul and mind and reason, even though it is divided fivefold by the natural necessities of the body; toward bodily things it is divided, indivisibly, through the five senses, which, being altered without being changed in essence, display their activity — it is not the sense itself that sees, but the soul through it; and so likewise it hears, smells, tastes, and discerns by touch.
人既是按照神的形像與樣式受造,也因此蒙了如此的尊榮:他在一個靈魂、一個心智、一個理性之中擁有一個感知能力,雖然因著身體的自然需要而在五方面被分開;對於屬身之事,這感知能力藉著五種感官不可分割地被分開運作,這五官雖有變化卻本質不變,顯出各自的功用——並非感官本身在看,而是靈魂藉著它在看;同樣地,也是靈魂藉著它聽、聞、嚐,並用觸覺加以分辨。
1:1369
Ἐν δέ τοῖς πνευματικοῖς οὐκέτι θυρίσιν αἰσθήσεως διαιρεῖσθαι καταναγκάζεται, οὐκέτι ζητεῖ ἀνοιγῆναι τούς ὀφθαλμούς τοῦ ἰδεῖν ἤ τι τῶν ὄντων θεάσασθαι, οὐδέ τά ὦτα λόγον εἰσδέξασθαι, οὐδέ ὄσφρησιν ἐκκαθᾶραι εἰς τό ὀξέως ὀσφραίνεσθαι·
But in spiritual matters, the soul is no longer compelled to be divided through the windows of the senses; it no longer seeks for the eyes to be opened in order to see or behold any of the things that exist, nor for the ears to receive a word, nor for the sense of smell to be purified for keen perceiving of scent.
但論到屬靈之事,靈魂便不再被迫透過感官這些「窗戶」而分裂運作;它不再需要張開眼睛去看,或觀看任何存在之物,也不需要耳朵去接收言語,也不需要淨化嗅覺以敏銳地聞香。
1:1370
οὐδέ δεῖται χειλέων ἤ γλώττης πρός τήν τοῦ γλυκέος ἤ πικροῦ γεῦσιν ὁμοῦ καί διάκρισιν, οὐδέ χειρῶν τοῦ ἐπαφᾶσθαι καί εἰδέναι δι αὐτῶν τό τραχύ τε καί λεῖον καί ὁμαλόν
Nor does it need lips or a tongue for the tasting and discerning together of sweet and bitter, nor hands to touch with and to know through them what is rough, smooth, and even.
也不需要嘴唇或舌頭來嚐並同時分辨甜與苦,也不需要雙手去觸摸,藉此得知何為粗糙、光滑與平整。
1:1371
Ἀλλά τούτων ἁπάντων ἡ αἴσθησις ἐκτός γενομένη καί ὅλη καθόλου συναπαχθεῖσα τῷ νῷ, ὡς φυσικῶς αὐτῶν συνεπομένη () καί ἀχωρίστως μία οὖσα, τάς πέντε ἔχει αἰσθήσεις ἐν ἑαυτῇ, ὡς οὔσας ἕν ἤ καί πλείστας, εἰπεῖν ἀκριβέστερον
But the sense-faculty, having gone outside all of these organs and being wholly and entirely drawn along together with the mind, as naturally accompanying it and being inseparably one, has the five senses within itself, being — to speak more precisely — one, or indeed very many.
反倒感知能力離開這一切器官,整個地、完全地與心智一同被引領,因為它本性上與心智相隨,不可分割地合而為一;它在自身之內擁有這五種感官——更確切地說,它們既是一,也可說是眾多。
1:1372
Καί σκόπει μοι ἐντεῦθεν τήν ἀκριβῆ τοῦ λόγου ἐξέτασιν
And observe, for my sake, from here on, the precise examination of this argument.
從這裡開始,請你留意我對這道理的精確探討。
1:1373
Ψυχή, νοῦς καί λόγος ἕν, ὡς εἴρηται, εἰσίν ἐν μιᾷ τῇ οὐσίᾳ καί φύσει
Soul, mind, and reason are one, as has been said, in one essence and nature.
靈魂、心智與理性,如前所述,乃是在同一本質與同一本性中合而為一。
1:1374
Τοῦτο δέ τό ἕν αἰσθάνεται, λογίζεται – λογικόν γάρ , νοεῖ, ἐπινοεῖ, ἐνθυμεῖται, βουλεύεται, ἐπιθυμεῖ, θέλει, οὐ θέλει, προαιρεῖται, οὐ προαιρεῖται, ἀγαπᾷ, μισεῖ·
And this one perceives, reasons — for it is rational — thinks, devises, ponders, deliberates, desires, wills, does not will, chooses, does not choose, loves, hates.
而這獨一者能感知、能推理——因為它是有理性的——能思想、能構思、能思念、能籌算、能欲求、能願意、能不願意、能揀選、能不揀選、能愛、能恨。
1:1375
τοῦτο ζῶν ἐστιν, ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ βλέπον καί ἀκοῦον ἅμα καί ὀσφραινόμενον, γευόμενόν τε καί ἐπαφώμενον, γινῶσκον, ἐπιγινῶσκον, γνωρίζον τε αὖ καί λαλοῦν
This is living: seeing and hearing at the same time, and likewise smelling, tasting, and touching, knowing, recognizing, making known, and speaking.
這便是那活的存在,在同一時刻既看又聽,同時聞、嚐、觸,能知、能識、能使人知曉,也能言說。
1:1376
Πρόσεχε ἀκριβῶς τῶν λεγομένων τήν δύναμιν, ἵν ἐντεῦθεν ἰσχύσῃς μαθεῖν τί τά ἄρρητα ῥήματα καί πῶς ὁ Παῦλος ταῦτα ἀκήκοεν ἅ καί ἀπεκαλύφθη αὐτῷ καί ἅ ἐν θείῳ Πνεύματι αὐτός ἐθεάσατο
Attend closely to the force of what has been said, so that from this you may be able to learn what the ineffable words are, and how Paul heard these things which were also revealed to him, and which he himself beheld in the divine Spirit.
請仔細留心我所說之話的意涵,好使你能藉此明白:那些不可言喻的話語究竟是什麼,保羅又是如何聽見這些向他啟示、並且他本人在聖靈中親眼目睹的事。
1:1377
Θεός ὁ τῶν ὅλων δημιουργός εἷς·
God, the creator of all things, is one.
神——萬有的創造者——是獨一的。
1:1378
τό οὖν ἕν τοῦτο πᾶν ἀγαθόν ἐστιν, ὥσπερ εἴρηται
This One, then, is every good, as has been said.
所以,這獨一者就是一切美善,正如前面所說。
1:1379
ἡ οὖν μία αὕτη πᾶσα αἰσθησίς ἐστιν, ἐν ἑαυτῇ δηλαδή πάσας εἴ τινές εἰσιν ἔχουσα
This one perceptive faculty, then, is every sense, having within itself, that is, all the senses, if indeed there are several.
所以這獨一的感知能力,就是一切感知能力,也就是說,它在自身之內擁有一切感官——若真有多種感官的話。
1:1380
Ὅταν οὖν ὁ εἷς Θεός τοῦ παντός τῇ μιᾷ καί λογικῇ ψυχῇ δι ἀποκαλύψεως ὀφθήσεται, πᾶν ἀγαθόν ταύτῃ ἀποκαλύπτεται καί διά πασῶν τῶν ταύτης αἰσθήσεων ὁμοῦ ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ ὁρᾶται τοῦτο αὐτῇ, βλέπεται καί ἀκούεται, καί γλυκαίνει τό γευστικόν καί τό ὀσφραντικόν εὐωδιάζει, ψηλαφᾶται, γνωρίζεται·
Whenever, then, the one God of the universe shall be seen by the one rational soul through revelation, every good is revealed to it, and through all of its senses together, at one and the same time, this One is seen by it — it is beheld and heard, it sweetens the sense of taste and perfumes the sense of smell, it is touched, it is known.
因此,每當那獨一的萬有之神藉啟示向這獨一而具理性的靈魂顯現時,一切美善便向它顯明;並且藉著它全部的感官,在同一時刻一同運作,這一位便被靈魂看見、被聽見;祂使味覺覺得甘甜、使嗅覺聞到馨香,也被觸摸、被認識。
1:1381
λαλεῖ καί λαλεῖται, γινώσκει, ἐπιγινώσκεται καί ὅτι γινώσκει νοεῖται
He speaks and is spoken to, he knows and is known, and that he knows is perceived.
祂說話,也被向祂說話;祂認識,也被認識;並且祂認識這件事,也被人明白。
1:1382
Ὁ γάρ παρά τοῦ Θεοῦ γινωσκόμενος οἶδεν ὅτι γινώσκεται καί ὁ τόν Θεόν ὁρῶν οἶδεν ὅτι ὁρᾷ τοῦτον ὁ Θεός·
For he who is known by God knows that he is known, and he who sees God knows that God sees him.
因為被神所認識的人,知道自己被神所認識;看見神的人,也知道神看見他。
1:1383
ὁ δέ γε μή ὁρῶν τόν Θεόν οὐκ οἶδεν ὅτι ὁρᾷ αὐτόν ὁ Θεός, ὡς οὐδέ ὁρᾷ, εἰ καί πάντα βλέπει καί οὐδέν αὐτόν λέληθεν
But he who does not see God does not know that God sees him, just as it is as though God does not see him — even though God sees all things and nothing escapes him.
但那不看見神的人,也不知道神在看著他,彷彿神並沒有看見他一樣——儘管神鑒察萬有,沒有一件事能逃過祂的眼目。
1:1384
Διά πασῶν οὖν τῶν αἰσθήσεων ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ ἅμα οἱ καταξιωθέντες ἰδεῖν τό πᾶν ἀγαθόν καί ὑπέρ πᾶν ἀγαθόν ὡς διά μιᾶς αἰσθήσεως τῶν πολλῶν τό ἕν ὄν καί πολλά, τά διάφορα ὁμοῦ ἀγαθά ὡς ἕν ἐν διαφόροις αἰσθήσεσι τῆς () μιᾶς ἐπιγνόντες καί καθ ἑκάστην ἐπιγινώσκοντες, διαφοράν ἐν τούτοις οὐδεμίαν ἐπίστανται, ἀλλά τήν θεωρίαν γνῶσιν καί τήν γνῶσιν πάλιν θεωρίαν καλοῦσι, τήν ἀκοήν ὅρασιν καί τήν ὅρασιν ἀκοήν, ὡς ὅταν ὁ Ἀββακούμ λέγῃ·
Through all the senses, then, at one and the same time, those who have been counted worthy to see the all-good, and that which is above all good, do so as through one of many senses seeing the One who is also many; having recognized the various goods together as one within the diverse senses of the one faculty, and recognizing them individually as well, they know no difference among these, but call contemplation 'knowledge' and knowledge again 'contemplation,' hearing 'sight' and sight 'hearing,' as when Habakkuk says:
因此,凡蒙算為配得看見那全然美善、以及超乎一切美善者的人,便藉著全部感官在同一時刻一同運作,如同藉著眾多感官中的一種,去認識那既是一又是多的獨一者;他們在同一感知能力之下不同的感官中,把這些不同的美善一併視為合一之物,同時又逐一分辨認識它們,卻不覺得其間有任何差別,反而把默觀稱為知識,又把知識稱為默觀,把聽稱為看,把看稱為聽——正如哈巴谷所說:
1:1385
Κύριε, εἰσακήκοα τήν ἀκοήν σου καί ἐφοβήθην
'O Lord, I have heard your report, and I was afraid.'
『耶和華啊,我聽見你的名聲就懼怕。』
1:1386
Παρά τίνος γάρ ἄλλου ἀκήκοεν;
For from whom else did he hear it?
因為他還能從別的什麼人那裡聽見呢?
1:1387
Ἐκεῖνος αὐτόν προφητεύων ἐκήρυττε
That man, prophesying, was proclaiming him.
那位先知,正是藉著預言宣告了祂。
1:1388
Κύριε, ἀκήκοα τήν ἀκοήν σου; Τί δέ καί τῷ διττῷ τῆς ἀκοῆς δηλῶσαι βούλεται, εἰ μή ὅτι διά τῆς τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐλλάμψεως ἤτοι ἀποκαλύψεως τόν Κύριον ἡμῶν πάντως καί Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐπιγνούς καί διά τῆς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ὑπηχήσεως αὖθις τά περί τῆς οἰκονομίας αὐτοῦ ἐκδιδαχθείς, οἱονεί τήν περί αὐτοῦ διδασκαλίαν ἥν ἐκεῖθεν ἔμαθεν ἰδιοποιησάμενος, πρός τόν Κύριον, ὡς ὁρῶν αὐτόν, καθά καί ἑωράτο, περιχαρῶς ἔλεγεν·
'Lord, I have heard your report' — and what does he mean to signify by this doubling of 'hearing,' if not that, having recognized our Lord and the Son of God, surely, through the illumination or revelation of the Spirit, and having in turn been taught, through the resonance proceeding from him, the things concerning his economy [of salvation] — having, as it were, made his own the teaching about him which he had learned from that source — he was saying, full of joy, to the Lord, as one who sees him, just as indeed he was seen [by him]:
『主啊,我聽見了你的名聲』——他藉著這重複出現的『聽』字所要表達的,豈不正是:他確實藉著聖靈的光照,也就是啟示,認出了我們的主與神的兒子,並且又藉著從祂而來的迴響,蒙受教導,明白了關乎祂救贖經綸的事;他彷彿把由此所學得、關於祂的教導據為己有,於是就如同親眼看見主一般(他確實也曾如此被祂看見),滿心喜樂地對主說:
1:1389
Ἐν μέσῳ δύο ζῴων γνωσθήσῃ·
'In the midst of two living creatures you shall be known;'
『你必在兩個活物中間被人認識;』
1:1390
ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν τά ἔτη ἐπιγνωσθήσῃ·
'as the years draw near, you shall be recognized;'
『年歲臨近之時,你必被認出;』
1:1391
ἐν τῷ παρεῖναι τόν καιρόν ἀναδειχθήσῃ
'when the appointed time is present, you shall be made manifest.'
『時候到了,你必顯明出來。』
1:1392
Ὥστε ἀκοήν τήν ἐν τῇ θεωρίᾳ τῆς δόξης τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐγγινομένην ὁμοῦ διδασκαλίαν καί γνῶσιν λέγει, ἥν περί τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως καί ἐπί τῆς γῆς ἐπιφανείας αὐτοῦ ἤκουσε
So that by 'hearing' he means the teaching and knowledge that arise together within the contemplation of the glory of the Spirit, which he heard concerning the incarnation and the appearance of him upon the earth.
由此可見,他所謂的『聽』,指的是在默觀聖靈榮耀之中一同產生的教導與知識,也就是他所聽見的、關於祂道成肉身並在地上顯現之事。
1:1393
Καί γάρ καί αὐτό τοῦτο τό εἰπεῖν·
For indeed even this very saying —
因為就連他這樣說的話本身——
1:1394
Κύριε, ὁρῶντος αὐτόν καί λαλοῦντος ἔχει δύναμιν
'O Lord' — has the force of one who is seeing him and speaking to him.
『主啊』——這個稱呼本身,便帶有正在看見祂、正在向祂說話之人的意味。
1:1395
Τίς γάρ ὅν οὐ βλέπει ὡς βλέπων τούτῳ προσομιλεῖ;
For who converses with one whom he does not see, as though he were seeing him?
因為有誰會像看得見一樣,去與自己其實看不見的人交談呢?
1:1396
Ὦ βασιλεῦ, ἤκουσα τά δεδογμένα τῇ βασιλείᾳ σου;
'O king, I have heard the decrees issued by your majesty' — [does one not speak thus as though present before him]?
〔正如人說〕『王啊,我已聽見陛下所頒的諭旨』〔豈不正是如同在王面前說話一般〕?
1:1397
Οὐχί γάρ ἀκοῦσαι μόνον λέγει τήν ἀκοήν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλά καί ὅτι γνωσθήσῃ φησί, καί ἐπιγνωσθήσῃ καί ἀναδειχθήσῃ, ὡς τήν αὐτοῦ βουλήν μετά πληροφορίας πάσης δηλονότι μαθών καί οἱονεί πως λέγων αὐτῷ·
For he does not say merely that he heard his report, but also says, 'you shall be known,' and 'you shall be recognized,' and 'you shall be manifested' — as one who, having clearly learned his counsel with full assurance, is saying to him, as it were, something like this:
因為他不僅僅說自己聽見了祂的名聲,還說『你必被知曉』、『你必被認出』、『你必被顯明』;這正表明他懷著十足的確信明白了祂的旨意,於是他彷彿如此對祂說:
1:1398
Οὕτω τοίνυν ἡ θεία Γραφή καί τήν θεωρίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκοήν καί τήν ἀκοήν ἀντί θεωρίας συνήθως τίθησιν
Thus, then, divine Scripture customarily calls the contemplation of God 'hearing,' and commonly puts 'hearing' in place of 'contemplation.'
由此可見,聖經素常把對神的默觀稱為『聽』,也常以『聽』來代替『默觀』。
1:1399
() Οὕτω καί Παῦλος ὁ θεῖος, τάς ἀνεκλαλήτους θεωρίας καί ἐλλάμψεις καί τάς ὑπέρ τό μέτρον τῆς ἀνθρωπίνης φύσεως καί δυνάμεως διδασκαλίας καί ἀποκαλύψεις, ῥήματα εἰκότως ἐκάλεσε καί ἀκοῦσαι ταῦτα εἶπε καί γραφῇ παραδέδωκε
Thus also the divine Paul fittingly called the unutterable contemplations and illuminations, and the teachings and revelations that surpass the measure of human nature and power, 'words,' and said that he heard these things, and handed them down in writing.
照樣,神聖的保羅也恰如其分地把那些難以言傳的默觀與光照,以及超乎人性與人力所能及的教導與啟示,稱為『話語』,並說自己聽見了這些話,且將之訴諸文字傳於後世。
1:1400
Ἐν δέ τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῶν ἀποκαλύψεων, ἵνα μή ἐπαίρωμαι, ἐδόθη μοι σκόλοψ τῇ σαρκί
'And lest I should be exalted by the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh.'
『又恐怕我因所得的啟示過於高大,就有一根刺加在我肉體上。』
1:1401
Εἰ οὖν ἤκουσε πρότερον, πῶς μετά ταῦτα ἀποκαλύψεις εἶπεν ἅ ἤκουσεν, εἰ μή καθώς εἴπομεν;
If, then, he heard beforehand, how afterward did he call the things he heard 'revelations,' unless it be as we have said?
既然他先前已經聽見了,若不是如我們所說的那樣,他之後怎會把所聽見的稱為『啟示』呢?
1:1402
Οὕτω γάρ καί ὁ Δαβίδ ἀποκαλυφθῆναι τούς ὀφθαλμούς εὔχεται εἰς τό κατανοῆσαι τά θαυμάσια τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκ τοῦ νόμου αὐτοῦ
For thus also David prays that his eyes be uncovered, so as to perceive the wonders of God out of his law.
因為大衛也是如此祈求眼睛得以開啟,好使他能從神的律法中領悟神的奇妙作為。
1:1403
ἀνωτέρω λεπτομερῶς ἐδηλώσαμεν καί αὐτῇ τοῦ τοῦ πράγματος ἡ ἀλήθεια ἔχει;
We explained this in detail above; and does not the truth of the matter itself stand exactly so?
我們在上文已經詳細說明過了;而事情本身的真相豈不正是如此嗎?
1:1404
Τοιγαροῦν καί διά μέν τῆς ἁρπαγῆς τήν θεωρίαν πρῶτον ἀδήλωσε, τά δέ ἐντός τῆς θεωρίας καί τά ἐκφαντικώτερα τῆς τρανότερον ἐξαστραπτούσης δόξης τε καί θεότητος, ὡς γνῶσιν ἐμποιοῦντα καί τόν ὁρῶντα διδάσκοντα καί δηλοῦντα τά πᾶσιν ἀπόρρητά τε καί ἀκατάληπτα, ἀκοῦσαι εἶπεν, ὡς ἕν οὔσης τῆς τε ἀκουστικῆς καί θεωρητικῆς δηλονότι αἰσθήσεως ἐπί τῶν πνευματικῶν
Therefore, through the rapture he first made known the vision; but as for the things within the vision — the more revelatory things of the more clearly flashing-forth glory and divinity, which produce knowledge, teach the one who beholds, and disclose what is ineffable and incomprehensible to all — these he said he 'heard,' since, evidently, in the case of spiritual realities the sense of hearing and the sense of sight are one and the same.
所以,藉著被提,他首先顯明了那異象;至於異象之內的事物,即那更清楚地閃耀出榮耀與神性、更具啟示性的事物——它們產生知識、教導觀看者、並向眾人顯明那不可言喻、不可理解的事——這些他卻說是『聽見』的,因為顯然在屬靈的事上,聽覺與視覺的感官原是合一的。
1:1405
Ὅθεν οὐδέ ἕν τῶν βλεπομένων ἤ ἀκουομένων, καθώς ταῦτα ὁρᾷ καί ἀκούει, οἷόν ἐστι καί οἷα εἰπεῖν ποτε δύναται διά τοῦτο καί γλώσσῃ ταῦτα λαλῆσαι ἀδύνατον εἶναι προσέθηκεν
Hence not even one of the things seen or heard, just as he sees and hears them, is such as he could ever describe; for this reason he also added that it is impossible to speak these things with the tongue.
因此,凡他所看見或聽見的事,沒有一件是能照他所看、所聽的樣子用言語表達出來的;正因如此,他又補充說,這些事是舌頭無法說出的。
1:1406
Ἀλλά σπουδάσωμεν ἑαυτούς ἐκκαθᾶραι διά μετανοίας καί ταπεινώσεως καί τάς αἰσθήσεις πάσας ὡς μίαν τῷ ἀγαθῷ καί ὑπεραγαθῷ ἑνῶσαι Θεῷ·
But let us make haste to purify ourselves through repentance and humility, and to unite all our senses, as one, to the good and supremely good God;
但讓我們竭力藉著悔改與謙卑潔淨自己,並將我們一切的感官如同一個,與那美善、超乎美善的神聯合;
1:1407
καί τότε ταῦτα πάντα, ἅ διά πολλῶν λόγων εἰπεῖν ἡμεῖς καί παραστῆσαι οὐκ ἐξισχύομεν, ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ ὁμοῦ ἅπαντα ὑμεῖς διδαχθήσεσθε, ἐν τῇ ὁράσει ἀκούοντες καί ἐν τῇ ἀκοῇ ὁρῶντες, ἐν τῇ θεωρίᾳ μανθάνοντες καί ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλύψει πάλιν ἀκούοντες
and then all these things, which we in many words are unable to say and set forth, you will all be taught together at once, in that very moment — hearing in sight and seeing in hearing, learning in vision and again hearing in revelation.
那時,凡是我們用許多言語也無法說明、無法陳述的一切事,你們將在同一時刻全部一起蒙受教導:在看見中聽見,在聽見中看見,在異象中學習,又在啟示中再次聽見。
1:1408
Ἔστι δέ τις καί ἄλλη ἐν τοῖς ὑπέρ λίαν πνευματικοῖς ἀκοή
But there is also another kind of hearing among the things that are exceedingly spiritual:
但在那些極其屬靈的事物中,還有另一種聽覺,
1:1409
Ἡ ἐπαγγελία τῶν μελλόντων δίδοσθαι ἀγαθῶν
the promise of the good things that are about to be given.
就是關於將要賜下之美善之事的應許。
1:1410
Ὥσπερ γάρ ἡ πρώτη παρουσία τοῦ Κυρίου διά τῶν προφητῶν καταγγελλομένη, εἰ καί ὡρᾶτο παρ αὐτῶν καί ἀκριβῶς ἐγινώσκετο, ἀλλά διά τό μήπω ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείνων γενέσθαι αὐτήν, μέλλουσαν δέ μετά ταῦτα, τά περί αὐτῆς ἀποκαλυπτόμενα αὐτοῖς καί δεικνύμενα ἔλεγον ἀκούειν ἐκεῖνοι διά τό μετά ταῦτα εἰς ἔργον μέλλειν αὐτά ἐξενεχθήσεσθαι, οὕτω καί ὁ Παῦλος, τά ἀποκείμενα τοῖς ἀγωνιζομένοις δικαίοις ἰδών ἀγαθά καί γνούς καί μαθών ἀκριβῶς ὅτι μετά τήν δευτέραν τοῦ Κυρίου παρουσίαν καί τήν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐξανάστασιν ταῦτα λήψονται οἱ τόν Θεόν ἐξ ὅλης ἠγαπηκότες ψυχῆς, ὡς ἐν τάξει ἐπαγγελίας καί ὑποσχέσεως ταῦτα θείς, ἐξεβόησεν
For just as the first coming of the Lord, though proclaimed by the prophets — and even though it was seen by them and known precisely — yet because it had not yet come to pass in their days but was still to come afterward, they said they 'heard' the things revealed and shown to them concerning it, since those things were destined to be brought to fulfillment afterward; so also Paul, having seen and known and precisely learned the good things laid up for the righteous who strive, that after the second coming of the Lord and the resurrection from the dead these will be received by those who have loved God with their whole soul, set these forth in the order of promise and pledge and cried out:
正如主的第一次降臨,雖由眾先知宣告,雖為他們所見並確實地知曉,但因那事尚未在他們的日子裡發生、而是要在後來才發生,所以他們就說自己是『聽見』了關於它所啟示、所顯示的事,因為那些事要在此後才付諸實現;保羅也是如此:他看見、知道、並確實地明白了那為奮力爭戰的義人所存留的美善之事——就是在主第二次降臨並從死裡復活之後,那些全心愛神的人將要領受這些——他便將這些事列在應許與許諾的次序中,喊叫說:
1:1411
Ἤκουσα, φήσιν, ἄρρητα ῥήματα ἅ οὐκ ἐξόν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι
'I heard,' he says, 'ineffable words, which it is not lawful for a man to speak.'
他說:『我聽見了說不出來的言語,是人不可說的。』
1:1412
Τίνα δέ τρόπον ῥήματα, ἐπειδή τά ἀγαθά ἐκεῖνα ῥήματά τινα ξένα ἐπ ἀληθείας εἰσί καί λόγοι δι ὧν πᾶσα λογική φύσις ἐντρυφᾷ τήν ὄντως ἀκένωτον καί ἀείζωον τρυφήν καί ζωοῦται θείως καί ἐπευφραίνεται
But in what manner are they 'words'? Because those good things are, in truth, certain strange words and utterances, through which every rational nature delights in the truly unfailing and ever-living delight, and is divinely enlivened and gladdened.
這些為何稱作『言語』呢?因為那些美善之事,實在是某種奇異的言語與話語,藉著它們,一切理性的本性都得以享受那真正不竭盡、永恆長存的甘飴,並得著神聖的活力與喜樂。
1:1413
Εἰ γάρ Θεός ὁ Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ καί Πατρός, δικαίως ἄν αἱ τοῦ Θεοῦ Λόγου ἐλλάμψεις κληθήσονται ῥήματα·
For if the Word of God and the Father is God, then rightly would the illuminations of the Word of God be called 'words';
因為若神與父的道乃是神,那麼神之道的光照理當被稱為『言語』;
1:1414
ὁ γάρ λόγος εἰς μῆκος διεκχυνθείς διηγήσεως οὐκέτι λόγος, ἀλλά διηγήσεως ῥήματα λέγεται, ὡς τό Τά ῥήματά μου ἐνώτισαι Κύριε·
for the word, once poured out to the length of a narrative, is no longer called 'word' but the 'words' of a narrative, as in, 'Give ear to my words, O Lord;'
因為『道』(話語)一旦被延展為冗長的敘述,就不再稱為『道』,而稱為敘述的『諸言語』,如經上說:『耶和華啊,求你留心聽我的言語;』
1:1415
πρόσχες τῇ φωνῇ τῆς δεήσεώς μου
'attend to the voice of my supplication.'
『求你側耳聽我懇求的聲音。』
1:1416
Λόγος τοιγαροῦν ὁ Θεός, ῥήματα δέ αὐτοῦ αἱ δίκην ἐξ ἀστραπῆς τινος ἐκπηδῶσαί τε καί τρανότερον ἐκφερόμεναι, ἤ ἀποκαλυπτόμεναι μᾶλλον ἡμῖν, τῆς θεότητος αὐγαί τε καί ἐλλάμψεις, ἅτινα ἐξειπεῖν ἡμεῖς οὐ δυνάμεθα
God, then, is the Word; but his 'words' are the rays and illuminations of the divinity that leap forth like a kind of lightning and are brought forth more clearly — or rather are revealed to us — things which we ourselves are unable to express.
所以,神就是那道;而祂的『言語』,乃是那如閃電般迸發、更清晰地顯露出來、或者更確切地說是向我們啟示出來的神性光輝與光照,是我們所無法言傳的。
1:1417
Ὁ δέ γε Ἰωάννης ὁ ἠγαπημένος Χριστοῦ μαθητής μικρόν τι κατά τήν δοθεῖσαν αὐτῷ χάριν εἶπε καί παρεδήλωσεν ἐξ ὧν ὁ Παῦλος ἀκόεν, () οὑτωσί λέγων·
But John, the beloved disciple of Christ, said and made known a little something, according to the grace given him, of the things which Paul had heard, speaking thus:
至於約翰,基督所愛的門徒,則按著賜給他的恩典,略微說出並顯明了保羅所聽見之事的一二,如此說道:
1:1418
Ἀδελφοί, νῦν τέκνα Θεοῦ ἐσμεν, ἀλλ οὔπω ἐφανερώθη τί ἐσόμεθα·
'Brethren, now we are children of God, but it has not yet been made manifest what we shall be;'
『弟兄們,我們現在是神的兒女,將來如何,還未顯明;』
1:1419
οἴδαμεν δέ ὅτι, ἐάν φανερωθῇ, ὅμοιοι αὐτῷ ἐσόμεθα
'but we know that, if it should be manifested, we shall be like him.'
『但我們知道,主若顯現,我們必要像祂。』
1:1420
Ἐκεῖνος εἶπεν ὅτι Ἤκουσα ἄρρητα ῥήματα ἅ οὐκ ἐξόν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι, οὗτος δέ ὅτι Οἴδαμεν, ἐάν φανερωθῇ, ὅμοιοι αὐτῷ ἐσόμεθα καί ὀψόμεθα αὐτόν τελεώτερον
The former said, 'I heard ineffable words, which it is not lawful for a man to speak,' but the latter said, 'We know that, if he should be manifested, we shall be like him,' and we shall see him more perfectly.
那一位說:『我聽見了說不出來的言語,是人不可說的』;這一位卻說:『我們知道,主若顯現,我們必要像祂』,並且要更完全地看見祂。
1:1421
Τοῦτο δέ καί αὐτός ὁ Παῦλός φησι·
And this Paul himself also says:
而保羅自己也是這樣說:
1:1422
Ὁρᾷς πῶς ἕν καί τό αὐτό ἐστιν ἐν τοῖς πνευματικοῖς ἤ τε γνῶσις καί ὁμοιότης, ἡ θεωρία καί ἡ ἐπίγνωσις
Do you see how, in spiritual things, knowledge and likeness, vision and full knowledge, are one and the same thing?
你看,在屬靈的事上,知識與相似、異象與真知,原是同一件事。
1:1423
Οὕτω πάντα ἡμῖν ὁ Χριστός γινόμενος, γνῶσις, σοφία, λόγος, φῶς, ἔλλαμψις, ὁμοιότης, θεωρία, ἐπίγνωσις, δίδωσιν ἀπολαύειν τῶν αὐτοῦ ἀγαθῶν καί κατά τήν παροῦσαν ζωήν ἐκ μέρους καί νοεῖν καί ἀκούειν ἐν μυστηρίῳ τά ἀποκεκρυμμένα τοῖς πολλοῖς ἄρρητα ῥήματα, τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν
Thus Christ, becoming all things to us — knowledge, wisdom, word, light, illumination, likeness, vision, full knowledge — grants those who love him, even in the present life, to understand in part and to hear in mystery those ineffable words hidden from the many.
基督如此成為我們的一切——知識、智慧、道、光、光照、相似、異象、真知——祂使那些愛祂的人,即使在今生,也能局部地在奧祕中領悟並聽見那些向眾人隱藏的、說不出來的言語。
1:1424
Εἰ γάρ μή πάντα ἡμῖν ὁ Χριστός ὁμοῦ γένηται, ἐλλιπής λοιπόν ἔσται ποτέ ἡ τῶν οὐρανῶν βασιλεία καί ἡ ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τρυφή
For if Christ does not become all things to us at one and the same time, then the kingdom of heaven, and the delight within that kingdom, will at some point prove deficient —
因為若基督不同時成為我們的一切,那麼天國以及天國裡的喜樂,終將有所欠缺——
1:1425
τερπνότητα ἐπιτήδειον, ἐν πᾶσι γένηται τοῖς δικαίοις καί ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν, ἀλλ ἕν μόνον ἐν ἑνί τῶν αὐλιζομένων ἐκεῖσε ἐκλείψειέ ποτε, εὐθύς ἡ τοῦ καλοῦ στέρησις τῇ λύπῃ τόπον δώσει καί ἐντός εἰσελεύσεται αὕτη τῆς ἀνεκλαλήτου τῶν εὐφραινομένων χαρᾶς·
a fitting delight would come to be present in all the righteous who love him — yet if but one single thing should ever be lacking to but one of those dwelling there, at once the privation of that good would give place to sorrow, and this sorrow would enter into the midst of the ineffable joy of those who rejoice.
使那合宜的喜樂臨到一切愛祂的義人身上——但只要在那裡居住的人中,哪怕只有一人缺少一樣美善,那美善的缺乏立刻就會給憂愁留下地步,這憂愁便會侵入那歡欣者說不出的喜樂之中。
1:1426
Ἀλλ οὐκ ἔσται τοῦτο, οὐκ ἔσται, ἀλλ ἔσεται τά πάντα τοῖς πᾶσι καί πᾶν ἀγαθόν ἐν ἅπασιν ἀγαθοῖς, ὑπερπερισσεῦον ἀεί καί ὑπερεμπιπλῶν τάς αἰσθήσεις () ἁπάσας τῶν ἐν τοῖς γάμοις ἀνακεκλιμένων τοῦ βασιλέως Χριστοῦ, αὐτός ἐκεῖνος ὁ εἷς ἐσθιόμενος καί πινόμενος, ὡς ὤν πᾶν εἶδος τροφῆς, ἡδύτητός τε καί πόσεως ὁ αὐτός
But this shall not be, it shall not be; rather, all things shall be to all, and every good thing shall be present amid all good things, ever superabounding and overfilling all the senses of those reclining at the wedding feast of Christ the King — that same One being eaten and drunk, as being every kind of food, and himself alike every sweetness and drink.
然而,這樣的事將不會發生,絕不會發生;反倒是萬有要成為眾人的一切,一切美善要充滿在所有美善之中,永遠溢滿有餘,充盈那些坐席赴君王基督婚筵之人的一切感官——正是那獨一者被吃、被喝,因祂本身就是各樣的食物、各樣的甘美與飲品。
1:1427
Ἔνθεν τοι καί βλεπόμενος παρά πάντων καί πάσας βλέπων αὐτός τάς ἀναριθμήτους μυριάδας καί τό ἑαυτοῦ ὄμμα ἔχων ἀεί ἀτενίζον και ἀμετακινήτως ἱστάμενον, ἕκαστος αὐτῶν δοκεῖ βλέπεσθαι παρ αὐτοῦ καί τῆς ἐκείνου ἀπολαύειν ὁμιλίας καί κατασπάζεσθαι ὑπ αὐτοῦ, ὡς ἄν μή τις ἐξ αὐτῶν ὡς παρεωραθείς λυπηθῇ
Hence, being seen by all and himself seeing all the innumerable myriads, and having his own eye ever fixed and immovably standing, each one of them seems to be seen by him, and to enjoy converse with him, and to be embraced by him, so that none of them might be grieved as though overlooked.
因此,祂為眾人所見,自己也看見那無數的萬萬人,並且祂自己的眼目常常凝視、堅定不移地注視著;於是他們每一個人都彷彿感到自己正被祂看見、與祂交談、蒙祂擁抱,好使他們中沒有一人因彷彿被忽略而憂傷。
1:1428
Ὁ αὐτός καί στέφανος ἔσται, καθάπερ εἴρηται, ἐπί τάς ἁπάντων τῶν ἁγίων ἐπικείμενος κεφαλάς ἀναλλοιώτως, ἀτρέπτως, ἄλλος ἄλλο τι δεικνύμενος εἶναι καί διαιρῶν ἑαυτόν κατ ἀξίαν ἑκάστῳ, καθά τίς ἐστιν ἄξιος·
The same One will also be a crown, as has been said, resting unalterably and unchangeably upon the heads of all the saints, appearing as one thing to one and another thing to another, and apportioning himself to each according to worth, as each is worthy;
同一位也要作那冠冕,如前所述,不變不易地戴在眾聖徒的頭上;祂在這人身上顯為此、在那人身上顯為彼,按著各人的配得分賜自己,正如各人所配得的那樣;
