231:1
Hodie veritas de terra orta est, Christus de carne natus est. Gaudete solemniter, et sempiternum diem hodierno quoque admoniti cogitate, æterna dona spe firmissima concupiscite, etc. Desinit: Qui propter vos formam servi accepit, in illo libertatem accipiamus, qui propter nos de terra ortus est, in illo cœlum possideamus, etc. PP. Maurini genuinos inter sermones sancti Augustini locum dederunt, ut constat ex edit. Antuerp. col. 623, estque sermo 9 de Natali Domini.
'Today truth has sprung up from the earth: Christ has been born of the flesh. Rejoice solemnly, and admonished by today, think also upon the everlasting day; with most firm hope desire the eternal gifts,' etc. It ends: 'He who for your sake took the form of a servant—in him let us receive liberty; he who for our sake sprang up from the earth—in him let us possess heaven,' etc. The Maurist Fathers gave it a place among the genuine sermons of Saint Augustine, as is clear from the Antwerp edition, column 623, and it is the ninth sermon on the Nativity of the Lord.
「今日真理從地而生：基督由肉身降生。你們當隆重歡欣，並受今日的提醒，也思念那永恆之日；以至堅定的盼望渴慕永遠的恩賜」等等。結尾為：「那為你們取了奴僕形像的，願我們在祂裡面得著自由；那為我們從地而生的，願我們在祂裡面承受天國」等等。摩爾派眾教父將它列入聖奧古斯丁真作的講道中，這由安特衛普版第六二三欄可見，即論主降生的第九篇講道。
