543:1
C ap. xiv, V ers. 5. — Breves dies hominis sunt, nu- merus mensium ejus apud te est. 1. Quod tanta velocitate transcurrit velut non est. — Hoc etenim apud nos velut non esse considerat, quod tanta velocitate transcurrit. Quia vero apud omnipotentem Deum etiam labentia stant, apud eum esse numerum nostrorum mensium perhibet. Vel certe in diebus brevitas temporis, in mensibus vero quasi multiplicata dierum spatia designantur. Nobis ergo breves dies sunt. Sed quia vita nostra post ten(??) ditur, apud Deum numerus nostrorum mensium esse memoratur. Unde et per Salomonem dicitur: Lon- gitudo dierum in dextera ejus. Sequitur:

Or certainly by 'days' is designated the brevity of time, but by 'months' as it were the multiplied spans of days. To us therefore the days are short. But because our life is afterward extended, the number of our months is said to be with God. Whence also it is said by Solomon: Length of days is in her right hand. It follows:
第十四章第五節——人的日子短少，他的月數在祢那裡。1. 那以如此速度飛逝之物，如同不存在。因為他認為在我們看來，那以如此極快速度飛逝之物，彷彿並不存在。但因在全能的神那裡連逝去之物也屹立不移，他便宣告我們月數的數目在祂那裡。或者確切地說，「日子」表明時間的短暫，而「月數」則彷彿表明日子被加倍延展的長度。因此對我們而言日子短少。但因我們的生命日後被延展，故說我們月數的數目在神那裡。故此所羅門也說：「他右手有長壽」。經上接著說：
