533:1
V ers. 24.— Cur faciem tuam abscondis, et arbitra- ris me inimicum tuum? 59. Ex poenali timore ad amorem est redeundum.— Humanum genus contemplationem lucis intimae ha- buit in paradiso; sed sibimetipsi placens, c quo a se recessit, lumen conditoris perdidit, ejusque faciem; d ad ligna paradisi fugit, quia post culpam videre metuebat quem amare consueverat. Sed ecce po(??)t culpam venit in poenam, ex poena autem ad amorem redit, quia quis fuerit culpae fructus invenit; atque illam faciem qu(??)m timuit in culpa excitatus requirit ex poena, ut jam caliginem caecitatis suae fugiat, at- que hoc ipsum, quod auctorem suum non videt gra- viter perhorrescat.
Verse 24. — 'Why dost thou hide thy face, and reckon me thine enemy?' 59. From penal fear one must return to love. — The human race had the contemplation of the innermost light in paradise; but, pleasing itself, whereby it withdrew from itself, it lost the light of its Creator and his face; it fled to the trees of paradise, because after the fault it dreaded to see him whom it had been wont to love. But behold, after the fault it comes into penalty, and from penalty it returns to love, because it finds what has been the fruit of its fault; and that face which, roused up, it feared in the fault, it seeks again out of the penalty, so that it may now flee the mist of its own blindness, and gravely shudder at this very thing — that it does not see its Author.
第24節。——「你為何掩面，把我當作你的仇敵呢？」59. 人當從刑罰之懼回到愛。——人類在樂園中曾有對最內裡之光的默觀；但它自我取悅，因而從自身退離，就失去了造物主的光和祂的面；它逃到樂園的樹木中，因為在過犯之後，它懼怕看見那素來所愛的主。但看哪，過犯之後它陷入刑罰，又從刑罰回到愛，因為它尋見了自己過犯的果子究竟為何；它在過犯中被激起而懼怕的那面，如今從刑罰中重新尋求，好使它逃離自己盲目的昏暗，並為這一件事深深戰慄——即它看不見造它之主。
533:2
Quo videlicet desiderio compun- ctus sanctus vir clamat: Cur faciem tuam abscondis. et arbitraris me inimicum tuum? quia si ut amicum aspiceres, tuae me visionis lumine non privares. Qui mobilitatem quoque cordis humani subsequens ad- jungit:
Pricked with which desire, plainly, the holy man cries out: 'Why dost thou hide thy face, and reckon me thine enemy?' For if thou didst regard me as a friend, thou wouldst not deprive me of the light of thy vision. And, following upon the mutability of the human heart, he adds:
顯然，這聖人被此渴慕所刺，就呼喊說：「你為何掩面，把我當作你的仇敵呢？」因為你若看我為朋友，就不會奪去我對你的看見之光。他又順著人心的變動不定，補充說：
