76:1
I bid. — Sic faciebat Job cunctis diebus. 32. Holocaustum la Christo pro nobis jugiter obla- tum. Cunctis diebus Job sacrificium offerre non ces- sat; quia sine intermissione pro nobis holocaustum Redemptor immolat, qui sine cessatione Patri suam pro nobis incarnationem demonstrat. Ipsa quippe ejus incarnatio nostrae emundationis oblatio est; cumque se hominem ostendit, delicta hominis inter- veniens diluit. Et humanitatis suae mysterio perenne sacrificium immolat, quia et haec sunt aeterna quae mundat. 33. [ Vet. XXV.] Quid hactenus de sensu histor. et Allegor. quid deinceps de morali prosequendum.
The same. — 'Thus did Job all the days.' 32. The holocaust offered continually by Christ for us. — Job ceases not all the days to offer sacrifice; because without intermission the Redeemer immolates a holocaust for us, who without ceasing shows to the Father His incarnation on our behalf. For His very incarnation is the oblation of our cleansing; and when He shows Himself man, interceding He washes away the sins of man. And by the mystery of His humanity He immolates a perpetual sacrifice, because these things also are eternal which He cleanses. 33. What has thus far been treated of the historical and allegorical sense; what henceforth is to be pursued concerning the moral.
同上。——「約伯常常這樣行。」三十二。基督為我們持續獻上的燔祭。——約伯天天不止息地獻祭;因為救贖主不間斷地為我們獻上燔祭,祂不停止地向父顯明祂為我們所成的道成肉身。因為祂的道成肉身本身就是我們得潔淨的祭物;當祂顯明自己為人時,藉代求洗淨人的罪。祂藉其人性的奧祕獻上永遠的祭,因為祂所潔淨的這些事物也是永恆的。三十三。至此已論歷史與寓意之義;此後當論述道德之義。
76:2
— Igi- tur quia in ipso expositionis exordio sic persona beati Job nuntiari Dominum diximus, ut designari per il- lum caput et corpus, id est, Christum et Ecclesiam diceremus; postquam caput nostrum quomodo desi- gnatum credatur, ostendimus, nunc corpus ejus, quod nos sumus, quomodo exprimatur, indicemus; ut quia audivimus ex historia quod miremur, cogno- vimus ex capite quod credamus; consideremus nunc ex corpore quod vivendo teneamus. In nobismetipsis namque debemus transformare quod legimus; ut cum per auditum se animus excitat, ad operandum quod audierit vita concurrat.
— Therefore, since at the very outset of the exposition we said that the Lord is thus announced by the person of blessed Job, so that we said that by him were designated the Head and the body, that is, Christ and the Church; after we have shown how our Head is believed to be designated, now let us indicate how His body, which we are, is expressed; so that, since we have heard from the history what we may marvel at, and have learned from the Head what we may believe, let us now consider from the body what we may hold fast by living. For in our own selves we ought to transform what we read; so that when the soul rouses itself through hearing, life may concur to do what it has heard.
——因此,既然在解釋一開頭我們就說主是這樣藉有福的約伯這人物被宣告的,以致我們說藉他標明了頭與身體,即基督與教會;在我們顯明了我們的頭如何被相信為被標明之後,如今讓我們指出祂的身體——即我們——如何被表達;好叫我們既從歷史聽見了可稀奇的事,又從頭學到了可相信的事,如今讓我們從身體思考藉生活可持守的事。因為我們應在自己身上把所讀的化為己有;好叫當靈魂藉聆聽而振奮時,生活也一同去實行所聽見的。
