460:1
Toto libri Job capite undecimo ac duodecimi quinque prioribus versibus enarratis, secundam hujus operis partem claudit. 1. Fortitudo Job, qui nec successiva adversantium mutatione superatur.—Quoties in arenae spectaculum fortis athleta descenderit, ii qui impares a viribus existunt vicissim se ejus expugnationi subjiciunt: et uno victo, contra hunc protinus alter erigitur; atque hoc subacto, alius subrogatur; ut luctantis vires quandoque molliores inveniant quas ipsa sua crebres- cens victoria fatigat; quatenus cum novus quisque congreditur, is qui vinci virium qualitate non valet, personarum saltem mutatione superetur.
Having expounded the whole eleventh chapter of the book of Job and the first five verses of the twelfth, he closes the second part of this work. 1. The fortitude of Job, who is not overcome even by the successive change of his adversaries.—As often as a strong athlete has descended into the arena of the spectacle, they who are of unequal strength subject themselves by turns to his overthrowing: and when one is conquered, straightway another rises up against him; and this one being subdued, another is substituted; that they may sometimes find the strength of the wrestler softer, which its own oft-repeated victory fatigues; to the end that, as each new opponent engages, he who cannot be conquered by the quality of strength, may at least be overcome by the change of persons.
既已闡釋了約伯記全部第十一章以及第十二章前五節，他就結束了本書的第二部分。第一節。約伯的剛強，他連被敵對者接連更替也不被勝過。——每當一位強壯的角力士下到競技場的表演中時，那些力量不敵的人便輪番使自己屈服於他的擊倒之下；一個被勝過，隨即另一個起來與他對抗；這個被制伏，又換上另一個；為要有時使那角力士的力量變得較軟弱——那正是被他自己屢屢重複的勝利所疲乏的力量——以致每當新的對手上陣時，那按力量之質無法被勝過的人，至少可藉人物的更替被勝過。
460:2
Sic sic in hoc hominum angelorumque spectaculo beatus Job fortis athleta prodiit, quantumque contra mutationes ad- versantium valeat b continuatione indefessi roboris ostendit. Cui primus se Eliphaz, secundus autem Baldad objicit, atque ad extremum se Sophar in ejus expugnatione supponit: qui ad inferendos ictus totis se conatibus erigunt, sed tamen ad feriendam altitudin(??)m robusti pectoris non pertingunt. Ipsa quippe eorum verba patenter insinuant quod ictus in auras jactant, quia cum sanctum virum non recte redarguunt, expressa a in vacuum verba percussionis perdunt. Quod liquido ostenditur, cum Sophar Na- amathitis responsio a contumeliis inchoatur, qui ait:
Thus, thus in this spectacle of men and angels did blessed Job come forth as a strong athlete, and showed how much he prevails against the changes of his adversaries by the continuation of unwearied strength. Against him first Eliphaz sets himself, and secondly Baldad, and at the last Sophar puts himself forward in assailing him: who, to inflict their blows, raise themselves up with all their efforts, yet nevertheless do not reach to strike the height of his robust breast. For their very words plainly suggest that they cast their blows into the air, because, when they do not rightly refute the holy man, they lose the express words of their percussion into the void. This is clearly shown, when the reply of Sophar the Naamathite is begun from insults, who says:
約伯就這樣，正是這樣，在這人與天使的表演中作為強壯的角力士挺身而出，並以不倦之力的持續，顯明他對敵對者的更替何等有力抵擋。首先以利法起來對抗他，其次比勒達，末後瑣法上前攻擊他；他們竭盡全力起身要施加打擊，卻仍夠不著擊打他堅實胸膛的高處。因為他們的話語顯然表明他們是向空中揮拳，因為他們既不能正確駁倒這位聖人，就把明說的攻擊之言喪失於虛空。這一點清楚顯明，因拿瑪人瑣法的回答是從辱罵開始的，他說：
