1038:1
VERS. 2. — Et iratus, indignatusque eat Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ham. 9. Per Eliu, ejusque patrem et cognationem, signantur superbi veræ fidei tenaces. — Bene haec ipsa vel ejus, vel parentis, vel loci, vel cognationis nomina notam propriæ exprimunt actionis. Eliu quippe interpretatum sonat, Deus meus iste, vel Deus Dominus. Per quem, sicut superius diximus (Num. 7), designatur recta 735 fides arrogantium f intra Ecclesiam positorum. Unde eis et hoc ipsum ejus etiam nomen congruit. Nam quamvis juxta dominica praecepta non vivant, Deum tamen dominum esse recoguoscunt; qua in veritate carnis etiam formam Deitatis.intelligunt, sicut per Prophetam dicitur:
Verse 2. — And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, was angry and indignant. 9. By Elihu, and his father and kindred, are signified the proud who hold fast to the true faith. — Well do these very names — whether his own, or his parent's, or of the place, or of the kindred — express the mark of his proper action. For Elihu, being interpreted, sounds 'This is my God,' or 'God the Lord.' By whom, as we said above (no. 7), is designated the right faith of the arrogant placed within the Church. Whence this very name of his also befits them. For although they do not live according to the Lord's precepts, they nevertheless recognize that God is Lord; in which truth they understand even the form of the Godhead in the flesh, as it is said through the Prophet:
第2節。——布西人巴拉迦的兒子以利戶,蘭族的,就發怒惱恨。9. 藉以利戶並他的父親與宗族,表徵那些持守真信仰的驕傲之人。——這些名字——無論是他自己的、或他父親的、或地方的、或宗族的——都恰當地表達了他本身行為的記號。因為以利戶,按其解釋,讀作「這是我的神」,或「神即是主」。藉他,正如我們上面所說(第7段),指定了那置身於教會之內、自高之人的正確信仰。由此,他這名字也適合他們。因為他們雖不照主的命令而活,卻仍承認神是主;在這真理中,他們甚至領會了神性在肉身中的樣式,正如藉先知所說:
1038:2
Scitote quod Dominus ipse est Deus (Psal. IctI, 3). Barachel vero interpretatum dicitur g benedictio Dei, Buzites autem contemptibilis. Quod arroganter praedicantibus bene utrumque concordat, quia in praedicationis facundia benedictionem quidem gratiae divinae percipiunt, sed in elatis suis moribus esse ea'n contemptibilem ostendunt. Ipsa quippe quae acceperunt bona, eo despicabilia f.tciunt, quo nequaquam eis bene uti noverunt. Apte autem etiam de cognatione Ram dicitur. Ram quippe interpretatur excelsus. Excelsus namque est fidelium populus, qui hujus vitae infima et abjecta contemnit. Excelsi sunt qui dicere cum Paulo noverunt: h Nostra conversatio in caelis est (Philip. III, 20).
Know that the Lord Himself is God (Ps. 100:3). But Barachel, being interpreted, is called 'the blessing of God,' and the Buzite 'contemptible.' Both of which agree well with those who preach arrogantly, because in the eloquence of preaching they indeed receive the blessing of divine grace, but in their elated morals they show it to be contemptible. For those very good things which they received, they make despicable, in that they by no means knew how to use them well. But aptly too is he said to be 'of the kindred of Ram.' For Ram is interpreted 'lofty.' For the faithful people is lofty, which contemns the base and abject things of this life. Lofty are they who have known how to say with Paul: Our conversation is in heaven (Phil. 3:20).
你們當曉得耶和華是神(詩篇一百3)。但巴拉迦,按其解釋,被稱作「神的祝福」,布西人則稱作「可鄙的」。這二者都與那些自高傳道的人十分相合,因為他們在傳道的口才中確實領受了神聖恩典的祝福,但在他們自高的品行中卻顯明這祝福為可鄙的。因為他們所領受的那些美善,他們使之成為可輕視的,正因他們絕不曉得善用它們。但說他是「蘭族的」也是恰當的。因為蘭被解作「崇高」。因為信實的子民是崇高的,他們藐視今生卑賤下賤之事。崇高的是那些曉得與保羅同說:我們是天上的國民(腓立比書三20)的人。
1038:3
Eliu itaque de cognatione Ham dicitur, quia unusquisque prædicator arrogans intra universalem Ecclesiam positus, sanctis populis fidei veritate sociatur, quamvis ab eorum vita elaliunis pravitate disjungatur. Sequitur:
Elihu therefore is said to be of the kindred of Ram, because every arrogant preacher placed within the universal Church is associated with the holy peoples by the truth of the faith, although he is disjoined from their life by the depravity of elation. There follows:
所以以利戶被說成是蘭族的,因為每一位置身於普世教會之內、自高的傳道者,都藉信仰的真理與聖潔的子民相連,雖然他因自高的敗壞而與他們的生命分離。接著說:
