208:1
V ers. 8. Maledicant ei, qui maledicunt diei. 41. Transactas culpas punit qui seductoris insidias in ipsa suggestione deprehendit.—Ac si aperte dicat: Illi hujus noctis tenebras vere poenitendo feriant, qui jam lucem prosperitatis saeculi despicientes calcant. Si enim diem laetitiam delectationis accipimus, recte de hac nocte dicitur: Maledicant ei qui maledicunt diei; quia nimirum illi veraciter mala transacta per animadversionem poenitentiae corrigunt, qui jam ad bona fallentia nulla delectatione rapiuntur. Nam quos adhuc noxia alia delectant, falsum est quod cernitur, quia perpetrata alia deplorant.
Verse 8.— Let them curse it who curse the day. 41. He punishes his past faults who detects the snares of the seducer in the very suggestion.— As if He plainly said: Let those truly by repenting strike the darkness of this night, who now, despising, trample on the light of the world's prosperity. For if by the day we understand the gladness of delight, it is rightly said of this night: 'Let them curse it who curse the day'; because, namely, those truly correct their past evils through the animadversion of penance, who are now carried off by no delight to deceiving goods. For those whom other noxious things still delight, it is false that they are seen to bewail their other committed deeds.
第八節——願咒詛那日的咒詛這夜。四十一、凡在引誘者的暗示本身之中察覺其詭計的，就懲罰自己過去的過犯。——彷彿祂明白地說：願那些如今輕看並踐踏今世興旺之光的人，藉著真實的悔改擊打這夜的黑暗。因為我們若以那日為歡愉的喜樂，那麼論到這夜恰當地說：「願咒詛那日的咒詛這夜」；因為那些如今不被任何歡愉擄向欺哄之美物的人，才藉著悔改的懲責真正改正自己過去的惡。因為那些至今仍以別樣有害之物為樂的人，他們看似為自己所犯的別的行為哀哭，乃是虛假的。
208:2
Si autem a, ut supra dictum est, suggestionem callidam anti- qui hostis accipimus, illi maledicere noctem intelli- gendi sunt, qui diei maledicunt; quia scilicet illi transactas culpas vere puniunt, qui maligni seducto- ris insidias in ipsa blanda suggestione deprehen- dunt. Bene autem subditur:
But if, as was said above, we understand by 'day' the crafty suggestion of the ancient enemy, those are to be understood to curse the night who curse the day; because, namely, those truly punish their past faults who detect the snares of the malignant seducer in the very flattering suggestion. And it is well subjoined:
但我們若如上所述，以「那日」為那古蛇仇敵詭詐的暗示，那麼當理解為咒詛那夜的，就是咒詛那日的人；因為那些在那諂媚的暗示本身之中察覺那惡毒引誘者詭計的人，才真正懲罰自己過去的過犯。經上也美好地接著說：
