361:1
V ers. 9.— Sicut consumitur nubes, et pertransit, sic qui descendit ad inferos non ascendet. 33. Damnatis non est reditus ad veniam, aut ad ca quae amabant.—Nubes quippe ad altiora suspenditur; sed densata vento impellitur ut currat, calore autem solis dissipatur ut evanescat. Sic sic nimirum corda sunt hominum, quae per acceptae rationis ingenium ad alta f emicant, impulsa autem maligni spiritus flatu, pravis desideriorum suorum motibus huc illuc- que pertrahuntur; sed, districto respectu superni judicis, quasi solis calore liquefiunt, et, semel locis poenalibus tradita, ad operationis usum ultra non redeunt.
Verse 9: 'As the cloud is consumed and passes away, so he who descends to the nether world shall not come up' (Job 7:9). 33. For the damned there is no return to pardon, nor to the things they loved. — For the cloud is suspended toward the higher regions; but, condensed, it is driven by the wind so that it runs, and by the heat of the sun it is dispersed so that it vanishes. Just so, without doubt, are the hearts of men, which by the native power of the reason they have received flash forth toward the heights, but, driven by the blast of the malign spirit, are dragged this way and that by the depraved motions of their desires; but, at the strict scrutiny of the Judge on high, they are, as it were, liquefied by the heat of the sun, and, once delivered to the places of punishment, they no longer return to the exercise of working.
第9節:「雲彩消散而過去,照樣,人下到陰間也不再上來」(約伯記七章9節)。三十三、被定罪者無法回轉得赦免,也不能歸回他們所愛之物。——因為雲彩被懸掛於高處;但它凝聚後被風吹逐而奔馳,又被日頭之熱驅散而消逝。世人的心也正是如此:他們藉所領受之理性的天賦本能,向高處閃耀進發,卻被惡靈的氣息所驅,被自己欲望的敗壞衝動拖來拽去;然而,在至高審判者的嚴厲察看下,他們彷彿被日頭之熱融化,一經被交付於受刑之地,便不再回到工作的從事之中。
361:2
Vir igitur sanctus elationem, cu(??)sura defe- ctumque humani generis exprimens dicat: Sicut con- sumitur nubes, et pertransit, sic qui descendit ad infe- ros non ascendet. Ac si aperte loqueretur, dicens: In altum cu(??)rendo 257 deficit, qui superbiendo ad interitum tendit; quem si semel culpa ad poenam per- trahit, misericordia ulterius ad veniam non reducit. Unde et adhuc subditur:
The holy man, therefore, expressing the exaltation, the downfall, and the failing of the human race, says: 'As the cloud is consumed and passes away, so he who descends to the nether world shall not come up.' As if he were plainly to speak, saying: He who by pride tends toward destruction fails while rising on high; and him whom guilt once drags down to punishment, mercy no longer leads back to pardon. Whence it is still further subjoined:
因此那聖潔之人,表達人類的高舉、傾覆與敗落,說:「雲彩消散而過去,照樣,人下到陰間也不再上來。」彷彿他明明要說:那藉驕傲趨向滅亡之人,在高升之際便敗落;那罪咎一旦拖往刑罰之人,憐憫便不再領他回轉得赦免。因此還進一步補上:
