1:2751
Ὅτε δέ εἰπεῖν ἔλθῃς τό Κύριε ἐλέησον καί ἐκτεῖναι θελήσῃς τάς χεῖράς σου εἰς τό ὕψος τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, πρός αὐτόν ἐμβλέψας τοῖς αἰσθητοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς καί προσχών αὐταῖς καί τῇ διανοίᾳ ἑαυτόν ἐπισυνάξας, μνήσθητι τῶν φαύλων σου ἔργων, καί ὅσα ἥμαρτες δι΄ αὐτῶν καί ὁποίων ποτέ ἥψω ἔργων ἴσως αἰσχρῶν δι αὐτῶν, καί φοβήθητι λέγων ἐν σεαυτῷ·
當你來到念「主啊,憐憫我」,並想要把手舉向天的高處時,要用你肉身的眼睛仰望祂,定睛在祂身上,並收攝己心,記起你邪惡的行為,記起你藉這些肢體所犯的罪,以及你或許曾藉它們所行何等可恥的事;你要懼怕,在心裡說:
And when you come to say 'Lord, have mercy,' and wish to stretch out your hands to the height of heaven, gazing toward Him with your bodily eyes and fixing them and gathering yourself together in mind, remember your evil works, and how much you have sinned through these members, and what kind of shameful deeds you perhaps once laid hold of by means of them; and be afraid, saying within yourself:
1:2752
Οὐαί μοι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ καί μιαρῷ!
「我這不潔污穢的人有禍了!」
'Woe is me, the unclean and defiled one!'
1:2753
Μήποτε ἰδών με Θεός τάς χεῖράς μου ἁπλοῦντα ἀναιδῶς ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ μνησθῇ μου τῶν ἀνομιῶν, ὧν ἔπραξα δι αὐτῶν, καί πῦρ ἐκπέμψει κατ ἐμοῦ καί ἐκλείξει με
「唯恐神看見我在祂面前無恥地伸開雙手,就記起我用這雙手所行的不法,向我發出火來,把我吞滅。」
'Lest God, seeing me shamelessly spreading out my hands before Him, remember my iniquities which I have committed with them, and send fire against me and lick me up.'
1:2754
Στρέψας οὖν αὐτάς εἰς τά ὀπίσω () καί συνδήσας, ὡς ἐπί θάνατον ἀγόμενος, ἐκ βάθους στενάξας ψυχῆς εἶπον ἐλεεινῇ τῇ φωνῇ·
於是把雙手轉到背後綁起來,像被牽去處死的人,從靈魂深處歎息,用哀憐的聲音說:
Turning them, then, behind you and binding them together, as one led to death, groaning from the depth of your soul, say with a pitiful voice:
1:2755
Ἐλέησόν με τόν ἁμαρτωλόν καί ἀνάξιον τοῦ ζῆν, ἄξιον δέ πάσης ὄντως κολάσεως καί ἄλλα ὅσα τοῦ Θεοῦ χάρις δῴη σοι τοῦ εἰπεῖν
「求祢憐憫我這罪人,我不配活著,實在該受各樣的刑罰」——以及神的恩典所賜給你可說的其他任何話。
'Have mercy on me the sinner, unworthy to live, worthy indeed of every punishment'—and whatever else the grace of God may grant you to say.
1:2756
Ἀναμνημονεύων δέ τῶν ἐφαμάρτων σου πράξεων, τύπτε σφοδρῶς καί ἀφειδῶς σεαυτόν λέγων·
你既記起自己有罪的行為,就當猛烈而毫不留情地擊打自己,說:
And recalling your sinful deeds, strike yourself vehemently and unsparingly, saying:
1:2757
καί πάλιν στρέψον τάς χεῖρας καί ἵστασο δεόμενος τοῦ Θεοῦ
然後再把雙手轉回,站著懇求神。
and again turn your hands and stand entreating God.
1:2758
τά καί τά πεπεοίηκας; καί οὕτω μαστίξας σεαυτόν ἱκανῶς, δῆσον τότε τάς χεῖράς σου ἔμπροσθεν καί στῆθι ἐν ἱλαρᾷ τῇ ψυχῇ
「你行了這樣那樣的事嗎?」既這樣充分地鞭打了自己,然後把雙手綁在前面,用歡欣的靈魂站著。
'Have you done such and such things?' And having thus scourged yourself sufficiently, then bind your hands in front and stand with a cheerful soul.
1:2759
Ποιήσας δέ ψαλμούς δύοἤ τρεῖς νουνεχῶς καί προσκυνήσεις, ὅσας νοήσεις σεαυτόν δύνασθαι, στῆθι πάλιν σύννους καί τά προειρημένα ἀναλογίζου ἐν σεαυτῷ, εἴποτε καί δῴη Θεός ἐλθεῖν ἐπί σέ δάκρυα καί κατάνυξιν
既明理地誦了兩三篇詩篇,並照你覺得自己所能作的多多俯伏叩拜,就再收心站著,在自己裡面默想前述所說的,或者神竟賜給你眼淚和痛悔臨到你。
And having recited two or three psalms with understanding, and made as many prostrations as you perceive yourself able, stand again in recollection and ponder within yourself the things aforesaid, in case God should even grant tears and compunction to come upon you.
1:2760
Καί εἰ μέν τοῦτο γένηται, μή ὑποχωρήσῃς ἕως ἄν παρέλθωσιν·
若這事發生,你就不要退去,直到眼淚與痛悔止息;
And if this should happen, do not withdraw until they have passed;
1:2761
εἰδ οὖν, μή θλιβῇς, ἀλλ εἰπέ ταῦτα πρός ἑαυτόν·
若沒有,也不要憂愁,只要對自己說:
but if not, do not be distressed, but say these things to yourself:
1:2762
κατάνυξις καί τά δάκρυα τῶν ἀξίων καί πρός ταῦτα ηὐπρεπισμένων εἰσί
「痛悔與眼淚是屬於那些配得的人,屬於那些為此已被預備好的人。」
'Compunction and tears belong to the worthy and to those who have been made ready for them.'
1:2763
Σύ δέ πόσα ἔτη παρεκάλεσας τόν Θεόνἤ ἐδούλευσας αὐτῷ;
「至於你,你已求神多少年了?或服事了祂多少年了?」
'But you—how many years have you besought God, or served Him?'
1:2764
Διά ποίων σου ἔργων ηὐτρέπισας πρός ὑποδοχήν αὐτῶν σεαυτόν;
「你藉著自己甚麼樣的行為,預備自己去領受它們呢?」
'By what works of yours have you prepared yourself for the reception of them?'
1:2765
Οὐκ ἀρκεῖ σοι ὅτι καί ζῇς;
「你竟能活著,這對你還不夠嗎?」
'Is it not enough for you that you are even alive?'
1:2766
Ταῦτα εἰπών καί εὐχαριστήσας κατασφραγισάμενος πρόσωπόν τε καί στῆθος καί ὅλον τό σῶμά σου τῷ σημείῳ τοῦ τιμίου σταυροῦ, ἐπί τοῦ ψιαθίου σου πεσών ἀνακλίθητι
既說了這些話,獻上感謝,並用寶貴十字架的記號在你的臉、胸和全身上劃記,就伏在你的草蓆上躺下。
Having said these things and given thanks, and having sealed your face and breast and your whole body with the sign of the precious Cross, fall upon your rush-mat and recline.
1:2767
Ὅτε δέ ἔξυπνος γένῃ, μή στραφῇς ἐπί τό ἕτερον μέρος, ἀλλ εὐθύς ἀναστάς πάλιν εὖξαι τῷ προειρημένῳ τρόπῳ καί μηκέτι ὑπνώσῃς, ἀλλά εὐχῇ καί () ἀναγνώσει καρτέρησον, ἕως οὗ τό ξύλον κρούσει, καί τότε μετά πάντων εἰς τήν σύναξιν ἄπελθε καί στῆθι ἐν τῷ ναῷ, ὡς μετά ἀγγέλων ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, σύντρομος, ἀνάξιον ἑαυτόν ἡγούμενος καί τῆς ἐκεῖσε μετά τῶν ἀδελφῶν παραστάσεως
你醒來時,不要轉向另一邊,乃要立刻起來,再按前述的方式禱告,不要再睡,卻要在禱告與誦讀中堅持,直到敲響那報時的木板;然後與眾人一同去參加聚會,站在殿中,好像在天上與眾天使同在,戰兢自懼,看自己甚至不配在那裡與弟兄們一同站立。
And when you awaken, do not turn to the other side, but rising up at once, again pray in the manner aforesaid, and sleep no more, but persevere in prayer and reading until the wood is struck; and then go with all the others to the synaxis, and stand in the church as though among angels in heaven, trembling, regarding yourself as unworthy even of standing there together with the brethren.
1:2768
Ἱστάμενος δέ πρόσεχε σεαυτῷ, τοῦ μή βλέπειν ὧδε κἀκεῖσε καί περιεργάζεσθαι τούς ἀδελφούς, πῶς ἕκαστος ἵσταταιἤ πῶς ψάλλει, ἀλλά σεαυτῷ μόνῳ καί τῇ ψαλμωδίᾳ καί ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις σου πρόσεχε
你站著的時候,要謹慎自守,不要東張西望,也不要好管弟兄們的閒事——看各人怎樣站立、怎樣歌唱——只要專注於你自己、於詩歌的頌讚、並於你的罪。
And while standing, take heed to yourself, not to look here and there and to busy yourself with the brethren—how each one stands or how he chants—but attend to yourself alone, and to the psalmody, and to your sins.
1:2769
Μιμνήσκου δέ καί τῆς ἐν τῷ κελλίῳ εὐχῆς, μή συντύχῃς ὅλως ἐν τῇ συνάξει τινί λόγον ἀργόν, μή ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν πρό τῆς ἐσχάτης εὐχῆς
也要記得你在斗室中所獻的禱告;在聚會中絕不可說任何閒話;不要在末次禱告之前離開那裡。
Remember also the prayer offered in the cell; do not fall into any idle word at all during the synaxis; do not go out from there before the final prayer.
1:2770
Εἰ δυνατόν, μηδέ εἰς ἀνάγνωσιν καθίσῃς, ἀλλ ἐν τόπῳ κρυπτῷ ὑποχώρει καί ἵστασο ἀκούων, ὡς ἐκείνου αὐτοῦ σοι λαλοῦντος διά τοῦ ἀναγνώστου, τοῦ ἐπί πάντων Θεοῦ
若可能,你連坐下聽誦讀都不要,乃要退到隱密之處站著聽,好像那超乎萬有的神親自藉著誦讀的人向你說話。
If possible, do not even sit down for the reading, but withdraw to a hidden place and stand listening, as though He Himself, the God who is over all, were speaking to you through the reader.
1:2771
Εἰ δέ καί αὐτός προτραπῇς εἰς ἀνάγνωσιν, ὡς ἀνάξιος ὤν τοῦ ἐκδιηγεῖσθαι διά τοῦ στόματός σου τάς θεοπνεύστους τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς σου Γραφάς, οὔτω διάκεισο, καί τελειώσας τήν θείαν ἀνάγνωσιν καί τήν συνήθη μέλλων εἰς ἀμφοτέρους τούς χορούς βαλεῖν μετάνοιαν, μή καταφρονητικῶς μηδέ ῥᾳθύμως, ἀλλ ὡς υἱούς Θεοῦ καί ἁγίους ἅπαντας λογιζόμενος, προσπεσών καί τῷ ἐδάφει προσεγγίσας τήν κεφαλήν σου, λέγε μυστικῶς ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου πρός πάντας αὐτούς·
你自己若被請去誦讀,就當存這樣的心:以為自己不配用口向弟兄們宣讀那些神所默示的經文;既讀完神聖的經文,將要照習慣向兩班詩班行叩拜之禮時,不可輕慢也不可怠惰,乃要把眾人都算作神的兒子與聖徒,俯伏在地,使你的頭挨近地面,在心中默默地對他們眾人說:
And if you yourself should be called upon to read, be so disposed as being unworthy to declare through your mouth to your brethren the God-inspired Scriptures; and having completed the divine reading and being about to make the customary prostration to both choirs, do it not contemptuously nor negligently, but reckoning all as sons of God and saints, falling down and bringing your head near to the floor, say mystically in your heart to them all:
1:2772
Εὔξασθε καί συγχωρήσατέ μοι, τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ καί ἀναξίῳ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καί τῆς γῆς, ἅγιοι τοῦ Θεοῦ
「神的聖徒啊,求你們為我禱告,並赦免我這罪人、這不配天地的人。」
'Pray and forgive me, the sinner and unworthy of heaven and earth, O saints of God.'
1:2773
Ἐάν δέ καί κανοναρχῆσαι προσταχθῇς, μή ῥαθύμως μηδέ ἐκλυομένως τοῦτο ποιῇς, ἀλλά νουνεχῶς καί νηφόντως ὡς ἐνώπιον τοῦ ἐπί πάντων βασιλέως Χριστοῦ τά θεῖα λόγια διά τῆς σῆς φωνῆς ὡς διά χειρός τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς διανέμων, καί φοβοῦ μή τινι καταφρονητικῶς παραλείψῃς () δοῦναι τόν ζωοποιόν ἄρτον ἤτοι τόν λόγον, ὡς εἴρηται, τοῦ Θεοῦ καί ἐκβληθήσῃ ἔξω ὡς καταφρονητής, οὐ λέγω σοι ταύτης ἔξω τῆς ἐκκλησίας, ἀλλά τῆς βασιλείας τῶν οὐρανῶν
你若也被派去領頌,不可怠惰鬆懈地作,乃要明理儆醒地作,如同在那超乎萬有的君王基督面前,藉你的聲音、如同藉著手把神的話語分給弟兄們;並要懼怕,唯恐你出於輕慢而未把那賜生命的糧——如所說的,就是神的話語——分給任何人,以致你像一個藐視者被趕出去:我不僅是說被趕出這教會,乃是說被趕出諸天的國。
And if you should also be appointed to lead the chant, do not do it negligently or slackly, but with understanding and sobriety, as in the presence of Christ the King over all, distributing the divine words through your voice as by a hand to the brethren; and fear lest through contempt you should fail to give to anyone the life-giving bread—that is, the word of God, as has been said—and you be cast out as one who despises: I do not say cast out of this church only, but out of the kingdom of heaven.
1:2774
Ἐξελθών οὖν μετά τήν ἀπόλυσιν, μνήσθητι ὅπως τήν χθές ἡμέραν διηνύσας καί, εἰ ἐσφάλης ἔν τινι, διόρθωσαι σήμερον
散會之後你出去時,要記得你昨天是怎樣度過的;你若在甚麼事上失足,今天就要改正過來。
Having gone out, then, after the dismissal, remember how you spent the day before; and if you erred in anything, correct it today.
1:2775
Ταῦτα τοιγαροῦν εἰ ἐμμείνῃς ποιῶν, οὐ βραδύνει Κύριος τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἔλεος αὐτοῦ μετά σοῦ, ἐγώ τοῦ εὐσπλάχνου ἐγγυητής, ἐγώ τοῦ φιλανθρώπου, εἰ καί τολμηρόν εἰπεῖν, ἐμαυτόν ὑποτίθημι ἀντιφωνητήν!
所以你若持續行這些事,主必不遲延向你施行祂的憐憫;我為那滿有慈憐的作保,我——雖然這樣說是大膽的——把自己擺上作那愛人之主的擔保人!
If, therefore, you should continue doing these things, the Lord will not delay to do His mercy with you; I am surety for the compassionate One, I—though it be a bold thing to say—set myself forward as a guarantor for the Lover of mankind!
1:2776
Ἀποθανοῦμαι ἐγώ, ἐάν ὑπερίδῃ σε
祂若忽視你,我就情願死。
I will die, if He should overlook you.
1:2777
Ἀντί σοῦ τῷ πυρί τῷ αἰωνίῳ παραδοθήσομαι, ἐάν ἐγκαταλείψῃ σε
祂若離棄你,我就情願代你被交給永火。
In your stead I will be delivered to the eternal fire, if He should forsake you.
1:2778
Μόνον μή ἐν δισταγμῷ καρδίας, μηδέ ἐν διψυχίᾳ ταῦτα ποιῇς!
只是你行這些事,不可存疑惑的心,也不可三心二意!
Only do not do these things with doubt of heart, nor with double-mindedness!
1:2779
Τί δέ ἐστι τό ἐν δισταγμῷ καί διψυχίᾳ;
然則甚麼是存疑惑、懷二心呢?
But what is it to be in doubt and in double-mindedness?
1:2780
Δισταγμός καρδίας ἐστί τό λογίζεσθαιἤ ὅλως ἐνθυμεῖσθαι ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτιἬ ἐλεήσει με Θεόςἤ οὔ;
心裡的疑惑,就是在自己裡面推想,或竟思忖:「神會憐憫我嗎,還是不會?」
Doubt of heart is to reason, or at all to ponder within yourself: 'Will God have mercy on me, or not?'
1:2781
Τό οὔ τοῦτο ἀπιστίας ἐστίν
這「不會」乃是出於不信。
This 'not' belongs to unbelief.
1:2782
Εἰ δέ μή πιστεύεις ὅτι ἐλεῆσαί σε θέλει μᾶλλον ἐκεῖνος πλέονἤ ὅσον προσδοκᾷς σύ, τί καί προσέρχῃ παρακαλῶν αὐτόν;
你若不信祂願意憐憫你,甚至比你自己所指望的更多,那你又為何前來懇求祂呢?
And if you do not believe that He wishes to have mercy on you even more than you yourself expect, why do you even come to entreat Him?
1:2783
μεριμνᾶν ὅλως τι εἰς ζωήν τῆς σαρκός αὐτοῦ
……竟為他肉體的生命憂慮甚麼。
…to be anxious at all about anything for the life of his flesh.
1:2784
Τοῦτο μόνον, εὖ ἴσθι, ὀφείλει φυλάξασθαι ἐμπόνως μετανοῶν, ἵνα μή ἑαυτόν διά τινος μηχανῆς ἀποκτείνῃ καί αὐτοφονευτής γένηται, οἷονἤ κρημνῷ ῥίψας ἑαυτόνἤ ἀγχόνῃ χρησάμενοςἤ ἕτερόν τι ἐναντίον διαπραξάμενος
你要清楚知道:那勞苦悔改的人只需防備這一件事,就是不可用甚麼手段殺害自己、作自戕之人——例如把自己從懸崖投下,或用繩索上吊,或行其他類似的違逆之事。
This one thing only, know well, must he who repents laboriously guard against: namely, that he should not by some device kill himself and become a self-murderer—as, for instance, by casting himself down a precipice, or making use of a noose, or perpetrating some other such contrary thing.
1:2785
Τῶν δέ λοιπῶν, δι ὧν οἶδε τρέφεσθαι τό σῶμα καί ζῆν, μηδεμίαν φροντίδα προείτω κατά τό λόγιον·
但至於其餘那些他所知道用以養身、維生之物,他斷不可掛慮,正如那話所說:
But as for the rest, by which he knows the body is nourished and lives, let him give no thought at all, according to the saying:
1:2786
Ζητεῖτε πρῶτον τήν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί τήν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ () καί ταῦτα πάντα, τά εἰς χρείαν δηλονότι τοῦ σώματος ὑμῶν ἐπιτήδεια, προστεθήσεται ὑμῖν
「你們要先求神的國和祂的義,這一切」——顯然就是你們身體所需用合宜之物——「都要加給你們了。」
'Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things'—that is, plainly, the things needful and suitable for your body—'shall be added unto you.'
1:2787
Δύναται γάρ ἐναγώνιον ἔχων τόν βίον καί ζῶν κατά τό Εὐαγγέλιον, μετά μόνου ἄρτου καί ὕδατος ἀποτρέφεσθαι καθ ἑκάστην καί ζῆν, καί μᾶλλον ἐκεῖνος εὐεκτεῖἤ οἱ τῶν ἁβροτέρων τραπεζῶν ἀπολαύοντες
因為那過爭戰生活、照福音而活的人,能靠餅與水日日得養而存活;並且這樣的人,比那些享用精美筵席的人還更健壯。
For he who leads the life of struggle and lives according to the Gospel is able to be nourished day by day and to live on bread and water alone; and such a one is even healthier than those who enjoy the more delicate tables.
1:2788
Διό τοῦτο καί Παῦλος εἰδώς ἔλεγε καί ἀεί λέγει·
因此,保羅也是知道這事,曾說並常說:
Therefore also Paul, knowing this, said, and ever says:
1:2789
Ἵνα ἐν ἑαυτοῖς τό ἀπόκριμα τοῦ θανάτου ἔχοντες, μή ὦμεν πεποιθότες ἐφ ἑαυτοῖς, ἀλλ ἐπί τῷ Θεῷ τῷ ἐγείροντι τούς νεκρούς
「叫我們在自己裡面有了死亡的判決,不再倚靠自己,只倚靠那叫死人復活的神。」
'That, having in ourselves the sentence of death, we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead.'
1:2790
Ἰδού τοιγαροῦν εἴπομέν σοι, ἀγαπητέ ἀδελφέ, ὅπως προσελθεῖν σε δεῖ τῷ Θεῷ καί ὁποίαν αὐτῷ ἐπιδείξασθαι τήν μετάνοιαν
所以,親愛的弟兄啊,看哪,我們已告訴你,你當怎樣親近神,以及你當向祂表現何等的悔改。
Behold, then, we have told you, beloved brother, how you ought to draw near to God, and what kind of repentance you ought to display to Him.
1:2791
Μή οὖν ἀποστῇς ἕως τῆς ἐσχάτης σου ἀναπνοῆς, μηδέ ἐπιλάθῃ τῆς καλῆς συμβουλῆς ἐμοῦ τοῦ ἁμαρτωλοῦ·
所以,你不要停止,直到你斷氣的那一刻,也不要忘記我這罪人的美好勸告;
Do not, then, desist until your last breath, nor forget the good counsel of me the sinner;
1:2792
οὐ γάρ ἔπραξα ταῦτα καί ἀπό πράξεως ἐμῆς εἶπόν σοι, ἀλλά χάρις τοῦ Θεοῦ διά σέ καί τήν σήν σωτηρίαν δέδωκέ μοι ταῦτα εἰπεῖν
因為這些話不是我行過、憑我自己的實行對你說的,乃是神的恩典為著你和你的救恩,賜給我說出這些話來。
for I did not do these things and speak to you from my own practice, but the grace of God, for your sake and for your salvation, has granted me to say these things.
1:2793
Εἰ οὖν ταῦτα Θεοῦ συνεργοῦντός σοι ποιήσειας, ἐγχρονίζοντός σου εἰς τό ἔργον τοῦτο τῆς μετανοίας, κατ ὀλίγον αὐτός σύ νοήσειας ἔτι μείζοντα ἄλλα μυστήρια, ὑπό τῆς ἄνωθεν χάριτος αὐτά διδασκόμενος, καί χαρισθήσεταί σοι οὐ μόνον δακρύων πηγή, ἀλλά καί πάντων παθῶν διά τῶν τοιούτων πράξεων ἀλλοτρίωσις
所以你若在神與你同工之下行這些事,並在這悔改的工夫上持之以恆,你自己就必漸漸領悟其他更大的奧祕,蒙那從上頭來的恩典親自教導你;不但眼淚的泉源要賜給你,並且藉著這樣的實行,你要與一切情慾隔絕。
If, therefore, with God working together with you, you should do these things, and you continue in this work of repentance, little by little you yourself will perceive yet other, greater mysteries, being taught them by the grace from above; and there shall be granted to you not only a fountain of tears, but also, through such practices, estrangement from all the passions.
1:2794
Τό γάρ ζητεῖν ἀεί μετάνοιαν καί κατάνυξιν, ἐρευνᾶν τε τίνα τά βοηθοῦντα καί συνεργοῦντα εἰς τό πενθεῖν καί κλαίειν καί κατανύσσεσθαι καί μετά σπουδῆς αὐτά διαπράττεσθαι, ἀλλά μηδέ προτιμᾶς ἐν μηδενί ἑαυτόνἤ τό τῆς σαρκός ὅλως ποιεῖν θέλημα, συντόμως εἰς προκοπήν φέρει () τόν ἄνθρωπον καί εἰς κάθαρσιν καί ἀπάθειαν, καί Πνεύματος Ἁγίου κοινωνόν αὐτόν ἀπεργάζεται, οὐ μόνον δέ ἀλλά καί Ἀντωνίου, Σάβα καί Εὐθυμίου, τῶν μεγάλων πατέρων, ἴσον ἀποκαθίστησι
因為總是尋求悔改與痛悔,探究甚麼事物有助於、有益於憂傷、哀哭與痛悔,並殷勤實行這些事,更且在任何事上都不高抬自己,也絕不隨從肉體的意思——這就迅速帶領人上進,達到潔淨與無情慾之境,使他成為聖靈的有分者;不但如此,更使他與偉大的教父安東尼、撒巴斯和游提米烏斯同等。
For always to seek repentance and compunction, and to search out what things help and work together toward mourning and weeping and being pierced with contrition, and to practice them with diligence, and moreover never to prefer oneself in anything or to do the will of the flesh at all—this quickly brings a man to advancement, and to purification and dispassion, and makes him a partaker of the Holy Spirit; and not only so, but also renders him equal to Antony, Sabbas, and Euthymius, the great fathers.
1:2795
Καί ταῦτα μέν, ἐάν ἀκούσῃς μου καί ἀγαπήσῃς τήν μετάνοιαν καί κατάνυξιν·
你若聽我的話,愛慕悔改與痛悔,這些事的確必要成就;
And these things indeed shall come to pass, if you listen to me and love repentance and compunction;
1:2796
εἰ δέ μή θελήσῃς ἀκοῦσαί μου καί τά εἰρημένα ἔργον ἀδιάλειπτον κτήσασθαι, μήτε σύ μήτε ἕτερος βλασφημείτω καί λεγέτω τοῦτο ἀδύνατον, μηδέ ὅτι·
但你若不肯聽我的話,不肯把所說的當作不住的工夫去操練,那麼無論是你或別人,都不可褻慢地說這是不可能的,也不可說:
but if you should not be willing to listen to me and to acquire the things spoken as an unceasing work, let neither you nor another blaspheme and say that this is impossible, nor say:
1:2797
Τόσουςἤ τόσους ἀπό τῶν ἐμοί ὑπαρχόντων χρυσίων ἐνέδυσα γυμνούς, πεινῶντας ἔθρεψα, διψῶντας ἐπότισα, πάντα μου διεσκόρπισα, ἀφικόμην εἰς τόδε τό ὄρος, εἰσῆλθον εἰς τόδε τό σπήλαιον, τόν τοῦ Κυρίου τάφον κατέλαβον, εἰς τό ὄρος ἀνῆλθον τῶν Ἐλαιῶν, καί νῦν εἰσῆλθον εἰς τόδε τό μοναστήριον καί ἀπεκάρηνἤ καί προαποκαθαρθείς κάθημαι ἐν ἑνί κελλίῳ, ποιῶν τόσαςἤ τόσας εὐχάς·
「我用自己所有的金子給多少多少赤身的人穿衣,餵飽了飢餓的人,給口渴的人水喝,變賣了我一切所有的,我來到這座山,進了這個洞穴,到過主的墳墓,登過橄欖山,如今又進了這座修道院受了剃度——或者,我早已預先得了潔淨,獨居在一間斗室裡,作了多少多少的禱告。」
'So many, so many naked ones have I clothed from the gold I possessed, the hungry have I fed, the thirsty have I given drink, all my goods have I scattered abroad, I have come to this mountain, I have entered this cave, I have reached the tomb of the Lord, I have ascended the Mount of Olives, and now I have entered this monastery and been tonsured—or, having been purified beforehand, I sit in a single cell, making so many, so many prayers.'
1:2798
Μή τοίνυν ἀπάτα σεαυτόν, ἀδελφέ, ὅστις εἶ, μηδέ παραμυθοῦ σεαυτόν διακένοις ἐννοίαις, ἀφρόνως τοῦτο ποιῶν
所以弟兄啊,無論你是誰,都不要自欺,也不要用空虛的念頭安慰自己,愚昧地行這事。
Do not, then, deceive yourself, brother, whoever you are, nor console yourself with empty notions, foolishly doing this.
1:2799
Ταῦτα γάρ πάντα καλά καί λίαν καλά, ἀλλά σπόρος εἰσίν, εὖ ἴσθι, ἀγαπητέ
因為這一切都是好的,甚且是極好的;但親愛的,你要清楚知道,它們不過是種子。
For all these things are good, and very good; but know well, beloved, they are seed.
1:2800
Ἴδε οὖν, ὡς ἐν ὑποδείγματι λέγω, τήν χώραν ἐνέωσας καί ἐδιβόλησας, ἐτριβόλησας, ἔσπειρας
所以看哪——我是用比喻來說——你已翻開了那休耕的地,耙鬆了它,除淨了蒺藜,又撒了種。
Behold, then—as I speak by way of an example—you have broken up the fallow ground and harrowed it, cleared it of thistles, and sown it.
1:2801
Ἔγνως ἆρα τόν σπόρον προκύψαντα ἐκ τῶν λαγόνων τῆς γῆς;
那麼,你可曾察覺那從地的深處萌發出來的種子?
Have you then perceived the seed springing up out of the bowels of the earth?
1:2802
Ἔγνως λευκά σου τῆς ψυχικῆς γῆς τά λήϊα καί πρός θερισμόν ἕτοιμα;
你可曾看見你心靈之田的莊稼已經發白,可以收割了?
Have you seen the harvest of your soul's field white and ready for reaping?
1:2803
Ἔτιλλας στάχυας ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἔψωχες () ταῖς χερσίν, ἵνα γυμνόν ἴδῃς τόν καρπόν τῶν πόνων σου;
你可曾從其中掐取麥穗,用手搓揉,好叫你能看見你辛勞所結之果的真貌?
Have you plucked ears of grain from them and rubbed them in your hands, that you might see bare the fruit of your labours?
1:2804
Ἰδών δέ τοῦτον, ἐτράφης ἆρα εἰς κόρον καί δύναμιν ἔλαβες;
你既看見了它,可曾因此得著飽足的滋養,並領受了力量?
And having seen it, were you then nourished unto fullness and received strength?
1:2805
Εἰ οὖν ταῦτα οἶδας, προσκυνῶ σου τούς πόδας καί κατασπάζομαι καί τά ἴχνη τούτων καταφιλῶ·
那麼,你若真知道這些事,我便俯伏在你腳前擁抱它們,並親吻你腳蹤的印記;
If, then, you know these things, I bow before your feet and embrace them, and kiss the very prints of them;
1:2806
Καί χαῖρε καί ἀγαλλία, μετά χαρᾶς συλλέγωνἅ κόπῳ καί πόνῳ πολλῷ ἔσπειρας
你當歡喜快樂,以喜樂收聚那你曾以許多勞苦和辛勤所撒下的。
and rejoice and be glad, gathering with joy what you sowed with much toil and labour.
1:2807
Εἰ δέ ἀγνοεῖς καί αὐτά τά παρ ἐμοῦ σοι λεγόμενα καί οὐδέ εἰ ἐσπάρη ἐν τῇ γῇ σού τι τῶν κρειττόνων καρπῶνλέγω δή ἐν τῷ χωρίῳ τῆς καρδίας σου ἔγνωκας, τί ὠφέλησας, εἰπέ μοι, περικυκλεύσας τά πέρατα καί εἰς τά ἔσχατα τῆς θαλάσσης γενόμενος;
然而你若連我對你所說的這些話也不明白,也不知道在你的地裡是否撒下了任何較美的果子——我是說,你可曾在你心田的境地裡認識了它——那麼請告訴我,你環繞地極、遠至海洋的盡頭,究竟得了甚麼益處?
But if you are ignorant even of these things I am saying to you, and do not know whether any of the better fruits has been sown in your land—I mean, whether you have come to know it in the field of your heart—then tell me, what have you gained by circling the ends of the earth and going to the uttermost parts of the sea?
1:2808
Ἄν γάρ ἐλεήσω τόν κόσμον ἅπαντα ἐκ τῶν οὐκ ἐμῶν ὅμως ἔστω ἐμῶν , ἐμαυτόν δέ περιΐδω γυμνόν καί πένητα καί εἰς τά ἔσχατα τῆς πενίας γενόμενον καί οὕτω μέλλοντα ἐν πενίᾳ τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἀποθανεῖν καί τῷ βήματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ παραστῆναι τῷ φοβερῷ, τί μοι τό ὄφελος;
因為我若用那本不屬我的——姑且算作屬我的——去憐憫全世界,卻忽視了我自己:赤身、窮乏、淪落到貧困的極處,並且如此要在善事的貧乏中死去,站在基督那可畏的審判台前,這於我有何益處?
For if I should show mercy to the whole world out of what is not mine—yet let it be counted as mine—but overlook myself, naked and destitute and brought to the uttermost of poverty, and thus destined to die in poverty of good things and to stand before the fearful judgement-seat of Christ, what profit is there for me?
1:2809
Ἐνδεδυμένους ἡμᾶς δεῖ καί ἐστολισμένους τοῦ βίου τούτου καί τοῦ σώματος ἐξελθεῖν, εἴ γε καί βουλοίμεθα ἐν τῷ γάμῳ τῷ βασιλικῷ συνανακλιθῆναι τοῖς φίλοις τοῦ βασιλέως
我們必須穿戴整齊、披上禮服,才能離開這今生和這身體,倘若我們真願在那君王的婚筵上與君王的朋友一同坐席。
We must depart from this life and from the body clothed and robed, if indeed we wish to recline at the royal wedding-feast together with the friends of the King.
1:2810
Τί δέ ἐστιν ἐγώ καί πάντες ὀφείλομεν ἐπενδύσασθαι, ἵνα μή γυμνοί τότε εὑρεθῶμεν;
那麼,我和我們眾人所當外披的是甚麼,好叫我們那時不至於赤身被人看見?
And what is it that I, and all of us, ought to put on over ourselves, that we may not then be found naked?
1:2811
Χριστός, ἀδελφοί, καί Θεός!
弟兄們,就是基督,就是神!
Christ, brethren, and God!
1:2812
Ἐάν δέ πᾶσαν αὖθις τήν ὑπό τόν οὐρανόν γῆν περιέλθω ὡς μίαν οἰκίαν καί οὐδεμίαν καταλίπω χώρανἤ πόλινἤ ἐκκλησίαν, ἐν οὐκ εἰσέλθω καί προσκυνήσω καί εὔξομαι καί τά ἐν αὐτοῖς καλῶς ἱστορήσω καί ἀκριβῶς, () τῆς δέ βασιλείας ἀποπέσω τῶν οὐρανῶν, οὐκ ἦν μοι κρεῖσσον μή γεννηθῆναι μηδέ πεσεῖν ἐπί γῆς, ἀναπνεῦσαι τοῦτον δή τόν ἀέρα καί τόν ἥλιον ὀφθαλμοῖς κατιδεῖν;
但我若再次走遍普天之下的全地,如同走遍一座房屋,不留一處地方、一座城邑、一間教會不進去、不敬拜、不禱告、不細心而確切地遍覽其中一切,卻從天國中墜落——那麼於我豈不倒是從未出生、從未落在地上為佳,勝過呼吸這空氣、以眼目觀看日頭麼?
But if again I should go about all the earth under heaven as though it were a single house, and leave no region or city or church into which I do not enter and worship and pray and diligently and accurately observe all that is in them, yet fall away from the kingdom of heaven—was it not better for me never to have been born nor to have fallen upon the earth, than to breathe this very air and behold the sun with my eyes?
1:2813
Ναί ὄντως, κρεῖσσόν μοι κατά πολύ ἦν!
是的,實在地,那對我要好得多!
Yes, truly, it were far better for me!
1:2814
Τί οὖν ποιήσω, ἵνα μή ταύτης ἐκπέσω;
那麼我當作甚麼,才不至於從它墜落?
What then shall I do, that I may not fall away from it?
1:2815
τοῦτο γάρ ἐστιν σπόρος Χριστοῦ, δι οὗ συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ γινόμεθα οἱ πένητες ἡμεῖς καί βροτοί, ὅς ἐάν πέσῃ εἰς τήν γῆν τήν καλήν καρποφορεῖ ἐν τριάκοντα καί ἐν ἑξήκοντα καί ἐν ἑκατόν, καί τοῦτο αὐτό ἐστιν βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν, τάδ ἄλλα ἅπαντα τούτου χωρίς οὐδέν ὠφελοῦσιν
因為這就是基督的種子,藉著它,我們這些窮乏必死的人得以成為祂的親屬;這種子若落在好土裡,就結實三十倍、六十倍、一百倍,而這正是天國;至於其餘的一切,離了這個,就毫無益處。
For this is the seed of Christ, through which we—we poor and mortal ones—become His kinsfolk; which, if it fall into good ground, bears fruit thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold, and this very thing is the kingdom of heaven; but all the rest, apart from this, profit nothing.
1:2816
Ἐάν γάρ μή ἑαυτούς εὑρήσωμεν τάς ψυχάς ἡμῶν κεκαθαρμένας καί πλήρεις φωτός, οὐδέν ἡμᾶς ὠφελήσει τῶν ἄλλων ἁπάντων ἐργασία, καθώς φησιν Κύριος ἡμῶν καί Θεός·
因為我們若找不著自己的魂已被潔淨、滿有光明,那麼一切其他的作為對我們都毫無益處,正如我們的主我們的神所說的:
For unless we find our own souls cleansed and full of light, the working of all else will profit us nothing, even as our Lord and God says:
1:2817
Τί ὠφελήσει ἄνθρωπος, ἐάν τόν κόσμον ὅλον κερδήσῃ, τήν δέ ψυχήν αὐτοῦ ζημιωθῇ;
人若賺得全世界,卻賠上自己的魂,有甚麼益處呢?
What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
1:2818
τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ; καί πάλιν·
人還能拿甚麼換自己的魂呢?又說:
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? And again:
1:2819
ἀπολέσας τήν ψυχήν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ εὑρήσει αὐτήν, δέ εὑρών αὐτήν ἀπολέσει αὐτήν
為我喪失魂生命的,必要得著;那保全魂生命的,必要喪失。
He that loseth his soul for my sake shall find it, but he that findeth it shall lose it.
1:2820
Εἰ οὖν ἐγώ μή ἀπολέσω τήν ψυχήν μου τῷ προτέρῳ τρόπῳ, ὡς εἴρηκα, εἰς θάνατον ἐμαυτόν ἐκδεδωκώς διά τόν Χριστόν, καί πάλιν εὕρω αὐτήν ζήσασαν τήν ζωήν τήν αἰώνιον, τί μοι τό ὄφελος τῶν λοιπῶν ἁπάντων, φίλοι καί ἀδελφοί;
那麼,我若不照著我所說的前一種方式喪失我的魂,為基督的緣故將自己交付於死,並再次尋見它得著永遠的生命,那麼其餘的一切於我有何益處呢,我的朋友們、弟兄們?
If, then, I do not lose my soul in the former manner, as I have said, giving myself over unto death for Christ's sake, and again find it living the eternal life, what profit to me is all the rest, O friends and brethren?
1:2821
Οὐδέν ὄντως, οὐδέν ἡμᾶς οὐ μή ὠφελήσει, ἠγαπημένοι δοῦλοι Χριστοῦ, οὐδέ τοῦ αἰωνίου πυρός ἐξελεῖται, ἐάν μή πάντα καί πάντας ἀφέντες ἑαυτούς ἡμᾶς μόνους ἐπισκεψώμεθα
實在地,這毫無益處,甚麼也不能叫我們得益處,基督所愛的僕人們,也不能救我們脫離那永火,除非我們撇下萬事萬人,單單省察我們自己。
Truly nothing, nothing at all will profit us, O beloved servants of Christ, nor will it deliver us from the eternal fire, unless, having forsaken all things and all persons, we attend to ourselves alone.
1:2822
() Τί δέ ἐστι τό ἑαυτούς ἐπισκέψασθαι;
然而,省察我們自己是甚麼意思呢?
But what is it to attend to ourselves?
1:2823
Ἐν ἑτέρᾳ τοῦτο, ἀδελφοί, κατηχήσει ταμιευσόμεθα, τήν συμμετρίαν τοῦ λόγου πραγματευόμενοι
弟兄們,這個我們要留到另一篇教訓中處理,好使話語有適當的分量。
This, O brethren, we shall store up for another catechesis, treating the due proportion of the discourse.
1:2824
Αὐτός δέ Θεός, ἀληθινή Σοφία, καταξιώσας γενέσθαι διδάσκαλος ἡμῶν τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν, αὐτόν δίδαξόν με εἰπεῖν ἐμαυτῷ τε καί τοῖς συνδούλοις καί ἀδελφοῖς μου τά πρός σωτηρίαν ψυχῆς
但願祢自己,神啊,就是那真智慧,那俯就作我們罪人之師傅的,教導我對自己並對我的同工弟兄們,說出那有益於魂之救恩的話。
But do Thou Thyself, O God, the true Wisdom, who hast deigned to become the teacher of us sinners, teach me to speak to myself and to my fellow-servants and brethren the things that make for the salvation of the soul.
1:2825
Σύ γάρ εἶ ὁδηγός καί φωτισμός τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν, διδούς λόγον ἡμῖν ἐν ἀνοίξει τοῦ στόματος καί ῥῆμα τοῖς εὐαγγελιζομένοις δυνάμει πολλῇ, καί σοί τήν δόξαν ἀναπέμπομεν νῦν καί ἀεί καί εἰς τούς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
因為祢是我們魂的引導者和光照者,是那在我們開口時賜下言語、用大能將話語賜給傳福音之人的;我們將榮耀歸與祢,從今直到永永遠遠。
For Thou art the guide and enlightenment of our souls, who givest us a word in the opening of the mouth, and utterance with great power to those who preach the good tidings; and to Thee we send up the glory, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.
1:2826
Περί τοῦ πῶς δεῖ ἕκαστον ἐπισκέπτεσθαι καί τά καθ ἑαυτόν ἐπιμελῶς ἐρευνᾷν
論各人當如何省察自己,並殷勤查究關乎自身的事。
On how each one ought to examine himself and diligently search out the things concerning himself.
1:2827
Καί πῶς τά ἑαυτοῦ ἀντιπαρατιθέναι χρή ταῖς ἐντολαῖς τοῦ Χριστοῦ
並論人當如何將自己的所行,與基督的誡命相對照。
And how one must set one's own doings over against the commandments of Christ.
1:2828
() Ἀδελφοί καί πατέρες, ἐν τῇ προλαβούσῃ κατηχήσει, διά τό μή τόν λόγον μηκύνειν ἐπί πολύ, τά κατηχηθέντα τότε ἐλλιπῆ κατελίπομεν, εἰπεῖν ἐπειγόμενοι τί ἐστι τό ἑαυτόν ἐπισκέψασθαι·
弟兄們、父老們,在前一篇教訓中,為了不使話語過於冗長,我們把那時所教導的留下未盡之處,急於要說明省察自己是甚麼意思;
Brethren and fathers, in the preceding catechesis, in order not to prolong the discourse too far, we left the things there taught incomplete, being eager to say what it is to examine oneself;
1:2829
νυνί δέ διά τῆς παρούσης κατηχήσεως ἀποδοῦναι ἥκομεν τό χρέος ὑμῖν τοῦ λόγου, ὡς ἐπί τοῦτο τεθέντες καί ἀεί χρεωστοῦντες διδόναι τῇ ἀγάπῃ ὑμῶν τοῦ λόγου τό σιτομέτριον
如今藉著這篇現前的教訓,我們前來償還所欠你們言語的債,因為我們既被派定於此,就常欠著要把言語的糧食按分量供給你們的愛。
but now, through this present catechesis, we have come to render to you the debt of the word, as having been appointed to this and always owing to give to your love the measure of the word's bread.
1:2830
Τί οὖν ἐστιν, ὡς τηνικαῦτα προείπομεν, τό προσχεῖν καί ἑαυτόν ἐπισκέψασθαι;
那麼,正如我們那時先前所說的,留心並省察自己是甚麼意思呢?
What then is it, as we said before at that time, to give heed and to examine oneself?
1:2831
Τό προσχεῖν ἕκαστον ἑαυτῷ τοῦτό ἐστι, τό καθ ἑαυτόν εἰπεῖν·
各人留心自己乃是這樣:就是在心裡對自己說:
For each one to give heed to himself is this: to say within himself,
1:2832
Μή τί γε ἄρα τό οἱονοῦν πάθος κατέχῃ με;
「莫非有某種無論何樣的私慾轄制著我?」
'Can it be that some passion of any kind whatever holds me fast?'
1:2833
Καί γάρ ὡς ἐν ταῖς θείαις ἀκούω Γραφαῖς, ὅτι ἔχων ἕν μόνον πάθος εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν οὐκ εἰσέρχεται, γέγραπται γάρ·
因為正如我在神聖的經文中所聽見的,凡有一樣私慾的,就不得進入天國;因為經上記著說:
For, as I hear in the divine Scriptures, he who has but one single passion does not enter into the kingdom of heaven; for it is written:
1:2834
Ἐάν τις τόν νόμον ὅλον τηρήσῃ, πταίσῃ δέ ἐν ἑνί, γέγονεν πάντων ἔνοχος
凡遵守全律法的,只在一條上跌倒,他就是犯了眾條。
Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is become guilty of all.
1:2835
Ὁμοίως δέ καί τό ἑαυτόν ἐπισκέπτεσθαι τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν, ἐν τῷ λέγειν καθ ἑαυτόν·
同樣,省察自己也是這樣的事,就是在心裡說:
Likewise, too, to examine oneself is such a thing, in saying within oneself:
1:2836
() Μήποτε τήνδεἤ τήνδε τήν ἐντολήν παρημέλησα, ἀμελῶ καί καταφρονῶ αὐτῆς καί ταύτην οὐ διαπράττομαι;
「莫非我疏忽了這條或那條誡命,或是我漫不經心、藐視它、不去遵行它?」
'Have I perchance neglected this or that commandment, or am I careless and contemptuous of it and do not perform it?'
1:2837
Ἰῶτα ἕνἤ μία κεραία ἀπό τοῦ νόμου τῶν ἐντολῶν μου οὐ μή παρέλθῃ, ἕως ἄν πάντα γένηται, καί πάλιν·
在我誡命的律法上,一點一畫也斷不能廢去,直到一切都成全了;又說:
One jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law of my commandments, till all be fulfilled; and again:
1:2838
λύσας μίαν τῶν ἐντολῶν τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων καί διδάξας οὕτω ποιεῖν τούς ἀνθρώπους, ἐλάχιστος κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν
所以,無論何人廢掉這誡命中最小的一條,又教訓人這樣作,他在天國裡要稱為最小的。
Whosoever shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so to do, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven.
1:2839
Ἀλλά γάρ προσέχειν δεῖ καί ταῖς θείαις Γραφαῖς, κἀκείνων ἀναγινωσκομένων βλέπειν ὀφείλει ἄνθρωπος ἑαυτόν, κατανοεῖν τε καί καταμανθάνειν ὡς ἐν ἐσόπτρῳ τήν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχήν, ἐν ποίοις ἐστίν
但實在地,人也當留心神聖的經文,並且當這些被誦讀時,人應當察看自己,如同在鏡中一般,思想並徹底認清自己的魂處在何等的光景中。
But indeed one must also give heed to the divine Scriptures, and while these are being read a man ought to look upon himself, to consider and to learn thoroughly, as in a mirror, his own soul, in what state it is.
1:2840
Ἀκούει λέγοντος τοῦ Κυρίου·
他聽見主說:
He hears the Lord saying:
1:2841
Μετανοεῖτε, ἤγγικε γάρ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
你們應當悔改,因為天國近了。
Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
1:2842
Μνησθῆναι οὖν ὀφείλει ὅπως διέρχεται τάς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ
那麼,他應當回想自己是如何度過他的日子。
He ought, then, to call to mind how he passes his days.
1:2843
Καί ἐάν καλῶς μετανοῇ, ἐπαυξήσῃ καί ἐπιτείνῃ τήν ἐργασίαν αὐτοῦ·
他若善於悔改,就當增添並加緊他的作為;
And if he repents well, let him increase and intensify his labour;
1:2844
εἰ δέ ἀμελῶς, διορθώσηται
他若一向漫不經心,就當自行改正。
but if he has been careless, let him set himself right.
1:2845
Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοί τῷ πνεύματι, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν
靈裡貧窮的人有福了,因為天國是他們的。
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
1:2846
Ὀφείλει τοίνυν ἐξετάζειν καί δοκιμάζειν ἀεί ἑαυτόν εἰς πᾶν συνάντημα εὐτελές, ὕβρεώς φημι, ἀτιμίας καί ἐξουδενώσεως, καί οὕτω βλέπειν εἰς ἑαυτόν, εἰ ἄρα καί ἔστιν ἀρετή αὕτη ἐν αὐτῷ τῆς ταπεινώσεωςἤ οὔ·
所以,他應當在每一件微不足道的遭遇中——我是指侮辱、羞辱和輕視——常常察驗並試驗自己,並如此察看自己,看這謙卑的美德是否真在他裡面;
He ought, therefore, always to examine and prove himself in every trifling encounter—I mean of insult, dishonour, and contempt—and thus to look into himself, whether indeed this virtue of humility is in him or not;
1:2847
γάρ ταύτην κεκτημένος φέρει πάντα ἀλύπως καί ἀβαρῶς, μή κεντούμενος ἔν τινι τῶν γινομένων τήν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ
因為擁有這美德的人,凡事都能無憂無擔地承受,他的心不因所發生的任何事而被刺痛。
for he who has acquired it bears all things without grief and without burden, his heart not being pierced by any of the things that happen.
1:2848
Εἰ δέ καί μικρόν κεντηθῇ, ἀλλ οὐ τελείως ταράσσεται·
縱使他稍微被刺痛,也不至於完全被攪擾;
And even if he be a little pierced, yet he is not utterly troubled;
1:2849
ὑπέρ δέ τοῦ κεντήματος μᾶλλον ἐκείνου τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὅλως μικρόν ἐλυπήθη καί οὐχί μετά χαρᾶς μᾶλλον τά συμβάντα ἐδέξατο, μαστίζει ἑαυτόν καί εὐτελίζει, () λυπεῖται καί κλαίει, εἰσερχόμενος ἐν τῷ ταμιείῳ τῆς ψυχῆςἤ τῆς κέλλης αὐτοῦ, καί οὕτω προσπίπτων τῷ Θεῷ ἐξομολογεῖται αὐτῷ, ὡς πᾶσαν ἀπολέσας τήν ἑαυτοῦ ζωήν
反倒為了他心中那樣的刺痛——就是他竟稍微憂愁了,沒有反而以喜樂接受所臨到的事——就鞭責並貶抑自己,憂傷哭泣,進入他魂的內室或他的居室,如此俯伏在神面前向祂認罪,如同一個喪失了自己全部生命的人。
but rather, over that very piercing of his heart—that he was grieved even a little and did not rather receive with joy the things that befell—he scourges and abases himself, grieves and weeps, entering into the storehouse of his soul or into his cell, and thus falling down before God he confesses to Him, as one who has lost his whole life.
1:2850
Καί σκόπει πῶς οὐ λέγει οἱ πενθήσαντες, ἀλλ οἱ ἀεί πενθοῦντες·
你要注意,祂並不說「那些曾哀慟的人」,乃說「那些常哀慟的人」;
And observe how He does not say 'those who have mourned,' but 'those who ever mourn';
1:2851
σκοπεῖν οὖν καί ἐνταῦθα ὀφείλομεν, εἰ καθ ἡμέραν πενθοῦμεν
所以我們在此也當思想,我們是否天天哀慟。
we ought, therefore, to consider here also whether we mourn day by day.
1:2852
Ἐάν γάρ ταπεινοί ἀπό τῆς μετανοίας γενώμεθα, εὔδηλον ὅτι οὐ μή παρέλθῃ ἡμῖν ἡμέραἤ μία νύξ ἄνευ δακρύων καί πένθους καί κατανύξεως
因為我們若藉著悔改而成為謙卑,就顯然沒有一日或一夜會臨到我們而沒有眼淚、哀慟和痛悔。
For if we become humble through repentance, it is quite evident that not a day or a single night will pass for us without tears and mourning and compunction.
1:2853
Τίς δέ καθ ἑκάστην πενθῶν ὀργίλως ζῶν διαμείνῃ καί μή πραΰς γένηται;
有誰天天哀慟,卻仍舊活在忿怒中而不變為溫柔的呢?
And who, mourning each day, would continue to live in wrath and not become gentle?
1:2854
Ὥσπερ γάρ φλόξ πυρός ὑπό ὕδατος, οὕτως ὑπό τοῦ πένθους καί τῶν δακρύων θυμός τῆς ψυχῆς σβέννυται·
因為正如火焰被水所熄滅,照樣,魂中的忿怒也藉著哀慟和眼淚被熄滅;
For as the flame of fire is quenched by water, so by mourning and tears is the wrath of the soul quenched;
1:2855
Διό βλέπειν ὀφείλει τις καί ἐν τούτῳ ἑαυτόν, εἰ πρᾶος ὄντως ἐστίν γάρ τοιοῦτος ἐν οὐδενί ἀνέχεται παράβασιν ἰδεῖν τῆς ἐντολῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀλλ ὡς ἐκεῖνος ἁμαρτάνων ὑπέρ τῶν ἁμαρτανόντων ἀδιαλείπτως θρηνεῖ·
因此,在這事上人也當察看自己,看他是否真是溫柔的;因為這樣的人斷不能容忍看見神誡命被人干犯,反倒像那義人一般,雖然自己有罪,卻不住地為那些犯罪的人哀哭;
wherefore in this too one ought to look into himself, whether he is truly gentle; for such a one in no wise endures to see a transgression of God's commandment, but, like that righteous man, though sinning, unceasingly laments on behalf of those who sin;
1:2856
εἶθ οὕτως, εἰ τήν δικαιοσύνην πεινᾷ καί διψᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ·
然後,照樣,看他是否飢渴慕義,慕神的義;
and then, in this way, whether he hungers and thirsts after the righteousness of God;
1:2857
ἔστι γάρ καί δικαιοσύνην τινά μετιόντα εὑρεῖν, μή πεινῶντα μηδέ διψῶντα αὐτήν·
因為有可能找到一個追求某種義的人,卻既不飢也不渴慕那義;
for it is possible to find one who pursues a certain righteousness yet neither hungers nor thirsts after it;
1:2858
δικαιοσύνη γάρ Θεός ἐστιν, ὥσπερ ἥλιον αὐτόν δικαιοσύνης ἀκούεις καλούμενον
因為神就是義,正如你聽見祂被稱為公義的日頭。
for God is righteousness, even as you hear Him called the Sun of righteousness.
1:2859
γοῦν πεινῶν αὐτόν καί διψῶν, τόν κόσμον ὅλον καί τά ἐν κόσμῳ ἡγεῖται σκύβαλα, τιμάς δέ ἀρχόντων ὡς αἰσχύνην ταῦτα λογίζεταιἤ οὐδόλως τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων τιμῶν ἐπαισθάνεται
那麼,那飢渴慕祂的人,就把全世界和世上的萬物看作糞土,把掌權者的尊榮看為羞恥,或是全然不覺得人間的尊榮算得甚麼。
He, then, who hungers and thirsts after Him counts the whole world and the things in the world as dung, and reckons the honours of rulers as a shame, or is not at all sensible of human honours.
1:2860
Ἄρα τίνες εἰσίν οἱ ἐλεήμονες;
那麼,憐憫人的是誰呢?
Who, then, are the merciful?
1:2861
Οἱ πτωχεύσαντες διά τόν πτωχεύσαντα δι ἡμᾶς καί μηδέν ἔχοντες δοῦναι, τῶν δέ πτωχῶν καί χηρῶν καί ὀρφανῶν καί τῶν ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ νοερῶς ἀεί μεμνημένοι, πολλάκις δέ καί ὁρῶντες καί συμπαθοῦντες τούτοις καί ὑπέρ αὐτῶν θερμῶς κλαίοντες, οἷος ἦν Ἰώβ λέγων·
就是那些為著那位為我們成了貧窮者的緣故而成為貧窮的人,他們雖無物可給,心思裡卻常記念貧窮人、寡婦、孤兒和患病的人,並且屢次親眼看見他們、體恤他們,為他們熱切哭泣,正如約伯所是的,他說:
Those who have become poor for the sake of Him who became poor for us, and who have nothing to give, yet are ever mindful in their minds of the poor and widows and orphans and those in sickness, and often even see them and have compassion on them and weep fervently on their behalf, such as was Job, saying:
1:2862
Ἐγώ δέ ἔκλαυσα ἐπί παντί ἀδυνάτῳ, οἵτινες καί ὅταν ἔχωσιν ἐλεοῦσι τούτους ἐν ἱλαρότητι καί τά πρός σωτηρίαν ψυχῆς πάντας ἀφθόνως ὑπομιμνήσκοντες, τῷ εἰρηκότι πειθόμενοι·
我曾為一切無助的人哭泣;這樣的人,當他們有能力時,就歡然地憐憫這些人,並毫不吝惜地將那有益於魂之救恩的事提醒眾人,順從那說話的一位:
But I wept over every helpless one; such men, when they have the means, show mercy to these with cheerfulness, and unstintingly remind all of the things that make for the salvation of the soul, obeying Him who said:
1:2863
Ἀδόλως τε ἔμαθον ἀφθόνως τε μεταδίδωμι
我毫無詭詐地學了,也毫不吝惜地分給人。
Without guile I learned, and without grudging do I impart.
1:2864
Οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ ὑπό Κυρίου μακαριζόμενοι, οἱ ἀληθεῖς ἐλεήμονες·
這些就是被主稱為有福的人,就是真正憐憫人的;
These are they who are called blessed by the Lord, the true merciful;
1:2865
διό καί ἐκ τῆς τοιαύτης ἐλεημοσύνης, ὡς διά βαθμίδος τινός, εἰς τήν τῆς ψυχῆς τελείαν ἀνιόντες φθάνουσι καθαρότητα
因此,藉著這樣的憐憫,如同藉著某一級階梯,他們上升並達到魂的完全潔淨。
wherefore also, from such mercy, as by a certain step, they ascend and attain to the perfect purity of the soul.
1:2866
Ἔνθεν τοι καί ἀπό ταύτης Θεός τούς καθαρούς ἐμακάρισε τήν καρδίαν, οὕτως εἰπών·
於是,從此,並因此,神稱那清心的人為有福的,這樣說:
Hence, then, and from this, God pronounced the pure in heart blessed, saying thus:
1:2867
Μακάριοι οἱ καθαροί τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτοί τόν Θεόν ὄψονται, εἰδώς ὡς ἅτε Θεός καί νομοθέτης ἡμῶν, ὅτι εἰ μή εἰς τοιαύτην ἔλθῃ διάθεσιν ψυχή ἡμῶν, οὔτε ἀεννάως πενθεῖ, οὔτε πραεῖα τελείως γίνεται, οὔτε διψᾷ τόν Θεόν, οὔτε τῶν παθῶν καθαίρεται, οὔτε ὡς ἔσοπτρον καθαρόν γίνεται
清心的人有福了,因為他們必得見神——祂既是神,又是我們的立法者,就知道我們的魂若不進入這樣的心境,就既不能不住地哀慟,也不能成為完全溫柔的,也不能渴慕神,也不能脫離諸般私慾得潔淨,也不能成為一面潔淨的鏡子。
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God—He knowing, as being God and our lawgiver, that unless our soul come into such a disposition it neither mourns unceasingly, nor becomes perfectly gentle, nor thirsts after God, nor is purified from the passions, nor becomes as a clean mirror.
1:2868
Εἰ δέ μή ταῦτα γένηται, οὐδέ καθαρῶς τό πρόσωπον ἐν ἑαυτῇ ποτε τοῦ Δεσπότου θεάσεται·
然而這些事若不成就,它也就永不能在自己裡面清晰地看見主人的面容;
But if these things do not come to pass, neither will it ever behold within itself purely the face of the Master;
1:2869
δέ γενομένη τοιαύτῃ ὁρᾷ τόν Θεόν ἐκ παντός καί καταλάσσεται αὐτῷ, καί γίνεται εἰρήνη ἀναμεταξύ τοῦ Ποιητοῦ ἡμῶν καί Θεοῦ καί τῆς πρῴην ἐχθρᾶς οὔσης αὐτῷ ψυχῆς, καί τηνικαῦτα () ὡς εἰρηνοποιός παρά τοῦ Θεοῦ μακαρίζεται·
但那已成為如此的魂,就從各方面看見神,並與祂和好,於是在我們的創造者、我們的神,與那從前與祂為敵的魂之間,就成就了和平;那時,這魂如同使人和睦的,就被神稱為有福的:
but the soul that has become such sees God in every way and is reconciled to Him, and there comes about peace between our Maker and God and the soul that was formerly at enmity with Him; and then, as a peacemaker, it is pronounced blessed by God:
1:2870
Μακάριοι γάρ, φησίν, οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὅτι αὐτοί υἱοί Θεοῦ κληθήσονται, οἱ τῷ ἐλθόντι δοῦναι εἰρήνην τοῖς ἐγγύς καί τοῖς μακράν ἑαυτούς γνωστῶς καταλλάξαντες, τῷ καταλλάξαι ἡμᾶς ἐχθρούς ὄντας τῷ ἰδίῳ Πατρί καί ἑνῶσαι ἐλθόντι τά διεστῶτα εἰς ἕν, τουτέστι μεταδοῦναι ἡμῖν Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καί λαβεῖν αὐτόν σάρκα τήν ἡμετέραν
祂說,使人和睦的人有福了,因為他們必稱為神的兒子——這些人以自覺明知的方式,與那位前來將和平賜給遠處和近處之人的主和好;祂使我們這些與祂自己的父為敵的人與父和好,又前來將那分裂的合而為一,就是將聖靈分賜給我們,並親自取了我們的肉體。
For blessed, He says, are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God—those who, in a manner they consciously know, have reconciled themselves to Him who came to give peace to them that were near and them that were far off, by reconciling us who were enemies to His own Father and, having come, uniting into one the things that were divided; that is, by imparting to us the Holy Spirit and Himself taking our flesh.
1:2871
Οἱ τοίνυν ἰδόντες αὐτόν, εὔδηλον ὅτι καί αὐτῷ ἀληθῶς κατηλλάγησαν, τήν ζητουμένην εἰρήνην ἀποτελέσαντες καί υἱοί Θεοῦ γεγονότες
所以,那些看見祂的人,顯然也真正與祂和好了,成就了所尋求的平安,並成為神的兒子。
Those, therefore, who have seen him have clearly been truly reconciled to him as well, having brought to fulfillment the peace that is sought and having become sons of God.
1:2872
Θεός δέ δικαιῶν, τίς κατακρίνων;
稱人為義的乃是神,誰能定罪呢?
It is God who justifies; who is he that condemns?
1:2873
Εἰ δέ τόν ἀδελφόν σου σύ, οὐκ ἀγαπᾷς, τόν Θεόν, ὅν οὐχ ἐώρακας, πῶς δύνασι ἀγαπᾶν;
你若不愛你所看見的弟兄,怎能愛那未曾看見的神呢?
But if you do not love your brother, how can you love God, whom you have not seen?
1:2874
Εἰ δέ ἀγαπᾶν αὐτόν οὐ δυνάμεθαἤ μᾶλλον εἰπεῖν οὐ βουλόμεθα, δῆλον ὅτι οὐδέ κατηλλάγημεν αὐτῷ
我們若不能愛祂,或更確切地說,我們若不願意愛祂,就顯然我們也未曾與祂和好。
And if we cannot love him—or rather, to speak more truly, if we are unwilling to—it is plain that we have not been reconciled to him either.
1:2875
Ἀλλά σπουδάσωμεν ἰδεῖν καί καταλλαγῆναι καί ἀγαπῆσαι αὐτόν, ἀδελφοί, ὡς αὐτός ἐνετείλατο, ἐξ ὅλης ψυχῆς
但弟兄們,讓我們竭力去看見祂、與祂和好、並全心愛祂,正如祂親自所吩咐的。
But let us be earnest, brethren, to see him and to be reconciled to him and to love him with all our soul, just as he himself commanded.
1:2876
Εἶτα πάλιν ἀκούει λέγοντος·
接著他又聽見祂說:
Then again he hears him saying:
1:2877
Μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, καί καταστοχάζεται ἐρευνῶν ἑαυτόν, εἰ ἕνεκεν ἐντολῆς ἐδιώχθη Θεοῦ, ἐπειδή πάντες ὅσοι ἐν Χριστῷ θέλουσι ζῆν διωχθήσονται, καθώς φησιν ἀπόστολος
為義受逼迫的人有福了;於是他省察自己,仔細分辨自己是否為了神的誡命而受逼迫;因為凡立志在基督裡敬虔度日的都要受逼迫,正如使徒所說。
Blessed are they who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake; and he takes aim, searching himself, to see whether he was persecuted for the sake of God's commandment—since all who wish to live in Christ shall be persecuted, as the Apostle says.
1:2878
Μακάριοί ἐστε, ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καί διώξωσι καί εἴπωσι πᾶν πονηρόν ῥῆμα καθ ὑμῶν ψευδόμενοι ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ
人若因我辱罵你們,逼迫你們,捏造各樣壞話毀謗你們,你們就有福了。
Blessed are you when men shall revile you and persecute you and speak all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
1:2879
Χαίρετε καί ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι μισθός ὑμῶν πολύς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς
應當歡喜快樂,因為你們在天上的賞賜是大的。
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward is great in the heavens.
1:2880
Τίνος οὖν ἕνεκεν ἔσχατον τέθηκε τούς δεδιωγμένους καί ὀνειδιζομένους, καί προστάσσει μετ ἐξουσίας ἐπιφωνῶν αὐτοῖς τό Χαίρετε καί ἀγαλλιᾶσθε;
那麼,祂為什麼把受逼迫和受辱罵的人放在末後,並帶著權柄向他們高聲吩咐說「應當歡喜快樂」呢?
Why, then, has he placed last those who are persecuted and reviled, and with authority commands them, crying aloud to them the words, 'Rejoice and be exceedingly glad'?
1:2881
δευτερῶν τά αὐτά εἴποιμι , καί πενθεῖν καθ ἑκάστην ἀξιοῦται καί πρᾷος γίνεται καί τόν ἥλιον τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἀπό ψυχῆς πεινᾷ καί διψᾷ καί ἐλεήμων ἀποτελεῖται καί συμπαθής, ὡς τά πάθη πάντων καί τάς θλίψεις καί τάς ἀσθενείας ἑαυτῷ οἰκειούμενος, κλαίων τε καί καθαιρόμενος βλέπει τόν Θεόν καί αὐτῷ καταλλάσεται καί γίνεται τῷ ὄντι εἰρηνοποιός καί υἱός αὐτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ κληθῆναι καταξιοῦται
我若把同樣的話再說一遍,我會說:這樣的人配得每日哀慟,並變為溫柔,從心靈裡飢渴慕義的日頭,且成為憐憫人的、有同情心的,把眾人的苦難、患難和軟弱都當作自己的;他哭泣、得潔淨,就看見神,與祂和好,真正成為使人和睦的,並配得稱為神自己的兒子。
Were I to repeat the same things a second time, I would say: he is counted worthy to mourn each day, and becomes gentle, and hungers and thirsts from his soul for the Sun of righteousness, and is made merciful and compassionate, making the sufferings and afflictions and infirmities of all men his own; and weeping and being purified, he sees God and is reconciled to him and becomes in truth a peacemaker, and is deemed worthy to be called a son of God himself.
1:2882
γοῦν τοιοῦτος δύναται καί διωκόμενος καί τυπτόμενος καί ὀνειδιζόμενος, λοιδορούμενός τε καί ὑβριζόμενος καί πᾶν πονηρόν ῥῆμα κατ αὐτοῦ λεγόμενον ἀκούων, ὑπομένειν μετά χαρᾶς καί ἀφράστου ἀγαλλιάσεως, καί τοῦτο εἰδώς Δεσπότης Θεός μετά ἀποφάσεως εἴρηκε·
這樣的人,當受逼迫、被毆打、被辱罵、被誹謗、被侮辱,並聽見各樣攻擊他的壞話時,就能懷著喜樂和說不出來的歡欣忍受;主神知道這一點,便斷然宣告說:
Such a one, then, is able—when persecuted and beaten and reviled, slandered and insulted, and hearing every evil word spoken against him—to endure it with joy and unspeakable exultation; and knowing this, the Master God spoke with a firm pronouncement, saying:
1:2883
δέ μή τοιοῦτος γεγονώς μηδέ τήν ἐνυπόστατον χαράν ἐντός αὐτοῦ πλουσίως κτησάμενος, πῶς ἀμνησικάκως ἄρα ταῦτα πάντα ὑπενεγκεῖν δυνήσεται;
但那沒有成為這樣的人,沒有在自己裡面豐豐富富地獲得那有位格的喜樂的人,怎能不記恨地忍受這一切呢?
But he who has not become such, and has not acquired within himself abundantly the joy that subsists in the person, how then will he be able to bear all these things without bearing a grudge?
1:2884
Διό οὖν, πατέρες καί ἀδελφοί μου, πάσῃ σπουδῇ ἑαυτούς ἡμᾶς καθ ἡμέραν καί καθ ὥραν, εἰ οἷόν τε, ἀνακρίνειν καί διερευνᾶσθαι μηδέποτε παυσώμεθα, ἀλλά πάσας, ὡς εἴπομεν, τάς ἐντολάς διερχόμενοι καί ἐν μιᾷ ἑκάστῃ αὐτῶν ἑαυτούς ἡμᾶς ἐξετάζοντες καί κατασκοποῦντες ὁρῶμεν
所以,我的父老弟兄們,讓我們竭盡全力,若可能,每日每時都不停地察驗、省察自己;卻要如我們所說,逐一查考一切誡命,並在每一條中考核、細察自己,好使我們看清楚。
Therefore, my fathers and brethren, let us never cease, with all diligence, to examine and search ourselves each day and each hour, if it be possible; but, as we have said, going through all the commandments and testing and scrutinizing ourselves in each one of them, let us see.
1:2885
καί εἰ μέν εὑρεθῶμεν αὐτήν ἐκπληρώσαντες, εὐχαριστήσωμεν τῷ Δεσπότῃ Θεῷ καί εἰς τό ἑξῆς ἀσφαλῶς ταύτην φυλάξωμεν·
我們若發現自己已成全了它,就讓我們感謝主神,並從此穩妥地遵守它;
And if we are found to have fulfilled it, let us give thanks to the Master God and thenceforth keep it securely;
1:2886
εἰ δέ μήπω ταύτης ἐμνήσθημενἤ αὐτήν πεποιήκαμεν, δράμωμεν, παρακαλῶ, ἕως ταύτης δραξώμεθα καί γενώμεθα αὐτῆς ἐγκρατεῖς, ἵνα μή () καταφρονήσαντες αὐτῆς, ἐλάχιστοι κληθῶμεν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν
但我們若尚未記念它或行出它,我懇求你們,讓我們奔跑,直到抓住它、掌握它,免得我們因輕忽它,在天國裡被稱為最小的。
but if we have not yet remembered it or performed it, let us run, I beseech you, until we lay hold of it and become masters of it, lest, having despised it, we be called least in the kingdom of the heavens.
1:2887
Οὕτω γάρ μίαν μίαν κατά μικρόν ὡς βαθμίδα κλίμακος ἀνερχόμενοι, εὖ οἶδα, φθάσομεν εἰς αὐτήν τήν πόλιν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, ἐν , ὡς προειρήκαμεν ἄνωθεν, ἵσταται διακύπτων Δεσπότης ἡμῶν λέγων πᾶσιν ἡμῖν·
因為這樣,我們一步一步、一級一級地,如同攀登梯子的階級上升,我深知我們必到達那天上的城;在那裡,正如我們前面所說,我們的主俯身站著,向我們眾人說:
For thus, ascending little by little, one by one, as by the rungs of a ladder, I well know we shall come to the very city of heaven, in which, as we said above, our Master stands stooping down and saying to us all:
1:2888
Δεῦτε πρός με πάντες οἱ κοπιῶντες καί πεφορτισμένοι, κἀγώ ἀναπαύσω ὑμᾶς, κἀκεῖσε γενόμενοι καί αὐτόν ὡς δυνατόν ἀνθρώπῳ ἰδόντες καί τήν βασιλείαν παρ ἐκείνου λαβόντες τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἥτις ἐστί τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον, ἐντός ἡμῶν ταύτην ἀεί ἕξομεν, ὡς αὐτός Δεσπότης διαρρήδην βοᾷ, καί οὕτω διάξομεν ὡς ἄγγελοι ἐπί τῆς γῆς, μᾶλλον δέ ὡς υἱοί Θεοῦ ἅγιοι καί ἐν πᾶσι μιμηταί τοῦ ἰδίου Πατρός καί Θεοῦ·
凡勞苦擔重擔的人,都可以到我這裡來,我就使你們得安息;及至我們到了那裡,並照人所能地看見祂,又從祂領受了天國——就是聖靈——我們就必永遠將它存在我們裡面,正如主自己明明呼喊的;於是我們就要在地上像天使一樣生活,或更確切地說,像神聖潔的兒子,並在一切事上效法我們自己的父和神。
Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest; and having arrived there and having seen him, so far as is possible for a man, and having received from him the kingdom of the heavens—which is the Holy Spirit—we shall have it ever within us, as the Master himself plainly cries out; and thus we shall live as angels upon the earth, or rather as holy sons of God and in all things imitators of our own Father and God.
1:2889
οὗ γένοιτο πάντας ἡμᾶς τῆς γλυκυτάτης θέας ἀναπολαῦσαι νῦν καί ἀεί καί εἰς τούς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων
願我們眾人都得以享受那至甘美的異象,從今時直到永永遠遠。
May it be granted to us all to enjoy that sweetest vision, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.
1:2890
Καί ὅτι λέγων μή δύνασθαί τινα τήν παροῦσαν γενεάν ἐν μετοχῇ τοῦ Ἁγίου γενέσθαι Πνεύματος, ἀλλά καί διαβάλλων τάς ἐνεργείας τοῦ Πνεύματος καί τῷ ἐναντίῳ ταύτας ἐπιφημίζων, αἵρεσιν νέαν εἰς τήν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐκκλησίαν ἀνακαινίζει
論到那說當今世代無人能成為分享聖靈之人的,以及那毀謗聖靈的運行、把這些運行歸給仇敵的,都是在神的教會中重新興起一種新的異端。
That the one who says that no person of the present generation can come into partaking of the Holy Spirit, and moreover the one who slanders the operations of the Spirit and ascribes them to the adversary, renews a new heresy in the Church of God.
1:2891
() Ἀδελφοί καί πατέρες, πᾶσα ἁμαρτία, φησί τό ἱερώτατον λόγιον τοῦ Σωτῆρος, ἀφεθήσεται τοῖς ἀνθρώποις, τῷ δέ εἰς τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον βλασφημήσαντι οὐκ ἀφεθήσεται οὔτε ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι, οὔτε ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι
弟兄們、父老們,救主至聖的話語說:人一切的罪都可得赦免,惟獨褻瀆聖靈的,今世來世總不得赦免。
Brethren and fathers, the most holy oracle of the Savior says: Every sin shall be forgiven to men, but to him who has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven, neither in the present age nor in the age to come.
1:2892
Ζητήσωμεν οὖν τίς ἐστιν εἰς τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον βλασφημία
那麼,讓我們查究褻瀆聖靈究竟是什麼。
Let us then inquire what the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is.
1:2893
Βλασφημία ἐστίν εἰς τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον τό ἐπιφημίζειν τάς ἐνεργείας αὐτοῦ τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἐναντίῳ, καθά φησιν μέγας Βασίλειος
褻瀆聖靈就是把聖靈的運行歸給那敵對的靈,正如大巴西流所說。
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to ascribe his operations to the adverse spirit, as the great Basil says.
1:2894
Ὁπότανἤ γινόμενα θαύματα τῷ Ἁγίῳ Πνεύματιἤ ἕτερόν τις ὁρῶν θεῖον χάρισμα εἰς ἕνα τῶν αὐτοῦ ἀδελφῶν , φημί δή κατάνυξινἤ δάκρυαἤ ταπείνωσινἤ γνῶσιν θείανἤ λόγον σοφίας τῆς ἄνωθενἤ ἄλλο τι χαριζόμενον ὑπό τοῦ θείου Πνεύματος τοῖς τόν Θεόν ἀγαπῶσι , () λέγει εἶναι τοῦτο ἀπό τῆς ἀπάτης τοῦ διαβόλου·
所以,每當有人看見聖靈所行的神蹟,或在他弟兄中的某人身上看見別的神聖恩賜——我是指痛悔、或眼淚、或謙卑、或屬神的知識、或從上頭來的智慧言語、或神聖之靈賜給那些愛神之人的別樣恩賜——卻說這是出於魔鬼的迷惑;
Whenever, therefore, someone, seeing miracles wrought by the Holy Spirit, or some other divine gift of grace in one of his brethren—I mean compunction, or tears, or humility, or divine knowledge, or a word of wisdom from on high, or some other thing bestowed by the divine Spirit upon those who love God—says that this comes from the deception of the devil;
1:2895
ἀγομένους ὡς υἱούς Θεοῦ, τούς τά προστάγματα ποιοῦντας τοῦ Πατρός αὐτῶν καί Θεοῦ, λέγων ὑπό δαιμόνων πλανᾶσθαι, καί αὐτός εἰς τό Πνεῦμα τό Ἅγιον βλασφημεῖ τό ἐνεργοῦν ἐν αὐτοῖς, καθά δή καί Ἰουδαῖοί ποτε εἰς τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Θεοῦ·
當他說那些被引導、作為神兒子、遵行他們的父和神之命令的人,是被鬼迷惑時,他自己就褻瀆了那在他們裡面運行的聖靈,正如從前猶太人褻瀆神的兒子一樣;
when he says that those who are led as sons of God, who do the commands of their Father and God, are being deceived by demons, he himself blasphemes against the Holy Spirit who works in them, just as the Jews of old did against the Son of God;
1:2896
ἐκεῖνοι γάρ ἔβλεπον δαίμονας ἀπελαυνομένους ὑπό Χριστοῦ καί κατά τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐβλασφήμουν καί ἀναιδῶς οἱ ἀναιδεῖς ἔλεγον·
因為那些人看見鬼被基督趕出去,卻褻瀆聖靈;那些無恥的人厚顏無恥地說:
for those saw demons being driven out by Christ, yet they blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, and shamelessly the shameless ones said:
1:2897
Ἐν Βεελζεβούλ, ἄρχοντι τῶν δαιμονίων, ἐκβάλλει τά δαιμόνια
他是靠著鬼王別西卜趕鬼的。
It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that he casts out the demons.
1:2898
Ἀλλά ταῦτα ἀκούοντές τινες οὐκ ἀκούουσι καί βλέποντες οὐ βλέπουσι, πάντα δέ τά ὑπό τῆς θείας Γραφῆς μαρτυρούμενα ἔργα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καί ἐνεργείας θείας γίνεσθαι, ὥσπερ ἑαυτῶν ἔξω γενόμενοι καί πᾶσαν θείαν Γραφήν ἀπό τῶν ψυχῶν αὐτῶν ἀποπτύσαντες καί τήν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐγγινομένην γνῶσιν τῶν διανοιῶν αὐτῶν ἐξωθήσαντες, ἐκ μέθης καί δαιμονικῆς ἐργασίας ταῦτα γίνεσθαι λέγειν οὐ φρίττουσι
但有些人聽見這些事卻不聽,看見卻不看;雖然一切被聖經所見證的工作都是從聖靈和神聖的運行而來,他們卻彷彿失了心竅,把一切聖經從他們的魂裡吐出去,把從聖經在他們心思中所生的知識推開,竟不戰慄地說這些事是出於醉酒和邪魔的作為。
But some, hearing these things, do not hear, and seeing, do not see; and though all the works attested by the divine Scripture come to pass from the Holy Spirit and from divine operation, yet, as though they had gone out of themselves and had spat every divine Scripture from their souls and thrust out the knowledge that arises from them within their minds, they do not shudder to say that these things come to pass from drunkenness and demonic working.
1:2899
Καθάπερ γάρ ἄπιστοι καί παντελῶς τῶν θείων μυστηρίων ὄντες ἀμύητοι, κἄν περί ἐλλάμψεως θείας ἀκούσωσι, κἄν περί φωτισμοῦ ψυχῆς καί νοός, κἄν περί θεωρίας καί ἀπαθείας, κἄν περί ταπεινώσεως καί δακρύων τῶν ἐξ ἐνεργείας καί χάριτος τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος ἐκχεομένων, εὐθύς, ὥσπερ μή φέροντες τήν ὑπερβάλλουσαν αἴγλην τῶν λόγων καί δύναμιν, σκοτιζόμενοι τούς ὀφθαλμούς τῆς καρδίας μᾶλλονἤ αὐγαζόμενοι, ἐκ πλάνης δαιμόνων εἶναι ταῦτα τολμηρῶς ἀποφαίνονται καί οὔτε τό τοῦ () Θεοῦ κρίμα, οὔτε τήν τῶν ἀκουόντων αὐτούς βλάβην φρίττουσι, πᾶσι δέ ἀναίδην οἱ τολμητίαι διαμαρτύρονται μηδέν τοιοῦτον νῦν ἔν τινι τῶν πιστῶν παρά Θεοῦ γίνεσθαι, ὅπερ ἀσέβειά ἐστι μᾶλλονἤ αἵρεσις
因為正如那些不信的人,全然未受屬神奧祕的啟蒙,每逢聽見屬神的光照,或魂與心思的開明,或默觀與無情慾,或從聖靈的運行與恩典所澆灌的謙卑與眼淚時,就立刻彷彿承受不住那超絕的言語光輝與能力,心眼被遮蔽而非被照亮,便放膽宣稱這些事是出於邪魔的迷惑,既不因神的審判戰慄,也不顧及聽他們之人所受的傷害,那些狂妄的人反倒無恥地向眾人聲稱:如今在任何信徒身上都沒有這等從神而來的事——這乃是不敬虔,而不僅是異端。
For just as the unbelieving, being wholly uninitiated in the divine mysteries, whenever they hear of divine illumination, or of the enlightenment of soul and mind, or of contemplation and dispassion, or of the humility and tears poured out from the operation and grace of the Holy Spirit, straightway, as though unable to bear the surpassing radiance and power of the words, being darkened in the eyes of the heart rather than illumined, they boldly declare that these things are from the deception of demons, and neither shudder at the judgment of God nor at the harm done to those who hear them, but shamelessly the audacious ones protest to all that no such thing now comes to pass from God in any of the faithful—which is impiety rather than heresy.
1:2900
Αἵρεσις μέν γάρ ἐστι τό ἔν τινι παρεκκλῖναι τῶν κειμένων ἡμῖν δογμάτων περί τῆς ὀρθῆς ἡμῶν πίστεως·
因為異端乃是在某一點上偏離那為我們所定、關乎我們正統信仰的教義;
For heresy is to deviate in some point from the doctrines that have been laid down for us concerning our orthodox faith;
1:2901
τό δέ λέγειν μή εἶναι ἀρτίως τινάς τούς τόν Θεόν ἀγαπῶντας, μηδέ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου τούτους καταξιοῦσθαι καί ὑπ αὐτοῦ βαπτιζομένους υἱούς Θεοῦ καί θεούς ἐν γνώσει καί πείρᾳ καί θεωρίᾳ γίνεσθαι, πᾶσαν ἀνατρέπει τοῦ Θεοῦ καί Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τήν οἰκονομίαν καί φανερῶς ἀπαρνεῖται τήν ἀνακαίνισιν τῆς φθαρείσης εἰκόνος καί θανατωθείσης, τήν ἐπί ἀφθαρσίαν αὐτῆς γενομένην καί ἀθανασίαν ἀνάκλησιν
但若說如今沒有任何愛神的人,也沒有這等人配得聖靈、並被祂施洗而成為神的兒子、在知識、經歷和默觀中成為神,這就顛覆了神和我們救主耶穌基督全部的救贖計劃,並公然否認那已敗壞、已被治死之形像的更新——就是把它召回到不朽壞和不死的地步。
but to say that there are not now any who love God, nor that these are deemed worthy of the Holy Spirit and, being baptized by him, become sons of God and gods in knowledge and experience and contemplation, overturns the whole economy of God and our Savior Jesus Christ, and openly denies the renewal of the image that had been corrupted and put to death—the recalling of it unto incorruption and immortality.
1:2902
Ὡς γάρ οὐκ ἔστι τόν μή βαπτισθέντα δι ὕδατος καί Πνεύματος σωθῆναί ποτε, οὕτως οὐδέ τόν μετά τό βάπτισμα ἁμαρτήσαντα, ἐάν μή βαπτισθῇ ἄνωθεν καί ἀναγεννηθῇ, καθώς Κύριος τοῦτο βεβαιῶν πρός τόν Νικόδημον ἔφη·
因為正如那沒有從水和聖靈受洗的人絕不能得救,照樣,那在受洗之後犯了罪的人,除非從上頭受洗、重生,也不能得救;主向尼哥底母證實這事說:
For just as it is impossible for one who has not been baptized by water and the Spirit ever to be saved, so neither is it possible for one who has sinned after baptism, unless he be baptized from above and born again, as the Lord, confirming this to Nicodemus, said:
1:2903
Ἐάν μή τις γεννηθῇ ἄνωθεν, οὐ μή εἰσέλθῃ εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν, καί πρός τούς ἀποστόλους αὖθις·
人若不從上頭生,就不能進神的國;祂又對使徒們說:
Unless one be born from above, he cannot enter into the kingdom of the heavens; and again to the apostles:
1:2904
Ἰωάννης μέν ἐβάπτισεν ὕδατι, ὑμεῖς δέ βαπτισθήσεσθε ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ
約翰是用水施洗,但你們要在聖靈裡受洗。
John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
1:2905
οὖν ἀγνοῶν καί ὅπερ νήπιος ἐβαπτίσατο βάπτισμα καί μηδέ ὅτι ἐβαπτίσατο ἐπιστάμενος, ἀλλά πίστει μόνῃ τοῦτο ἀποσμηξάμενος, τό δεύτερόν τετό διά Πνεύματος λέγω, ἄνωθεν φιλανθρωπίᾳ Θεοῦ διδόμενον τοῖς διά μετανοίας αὐτό ἐκζητοῦσιν ἀπαρνούμενος, πῶς ποτε ἄλλως σωτηρίας τυχεῖν δυνήσεται;
那麼,那連自己嬰孩時所受的洗都不知道、甚至不曉得自己曾受洗、只憑信心把它抹淨的人,卻又拒絕那第二次的洗——我是指藉著聖靈的洗,就是神出於祂的仁慈從上頭賜給那些藉悔改尋求它之人的洗——他還能用別的方法得著救恩嗎?
He, then, who is ignorant even of the baptism he received as an infant, and does not so much as know that he was baptized, but has wiped this clean by faith alone, yet renounces the second baptism—I mean that which is through the Spirit, given from above by the loving-kindness of God to those who seek it through repentance—how can he ever attain salvation in any other way?
1:2906
() Διά τοῦτο οὖν διαμαρτύρομαι πᾶσιν ὑμῖν καί λέγω καί λέγων οὐ παύσομαι, ὅσοι τό πρῶτον βάπτισμα διά παραβάσεως τῶν ἐντολῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐμολύνατε, τήν τοῦ Δαβίδ μετάνοιαν καί τῶν λοιπῶν ἁγίων μιμήσασθε καί πάσῃ σπουδῇ διά παντοίων ἔργων καί λόγων ἀξίαν μετάνοιαν ἐπιδείξασθε, ἵνα τήν τοῦ Παναγίου Πνεύματος χάριν ἐφ ἑαυτοῖς ἐπισπάσησθε
因此,我鄭重地向你們眾人作見證並宣告,且必不停止宣告:凡因干犯神的誡命而玷污了頭一次洗禮的人哪,你們要效法大衛和其餘聖徒的悔改,並竭盡全力,藉各樣的行為與言語,顯出配得的悔改,好把至聖之靈的恩典吸引到你們身上。
For this reason, then, I earnestly testify to you all and say, and in saying it I shall not cease: all you who have defiled the first baptism through transgression of God's commandments, imitate the repentance of David and of the rest of the saints, and with all diligence, through works and words of every kind, show forth a worthy repentance, that you may draw down upon yourselves the grace of the All-holy Spirit.
1:2907
Τοῦτο γάρ τό Πνεῦμα, κατελθόν ἐφ ὑμᾶς, κολυμβήθρα φωτοειδής ὑμῖν γένηται, καί ἐγκολπωσάμενος ὑμᾶς, ἀρρήτως ὅλους ἐν ἑαυτῷ, ἐκ φθαρτῶν ἀφθάρτους, ἐκ θνητῶν ἀθανάτους καί ἀντί υἱῶν ἀνθρώπων Θεοῦ υἱούς καί θεούς θέσει καί χάριτι, ἀναγεννῆσαν ὑμᾶς ἀπεργάσηταιεἰ ἄρα καί βούλεσθε τῶν ἁγίων συγγενεῖς καί συγκληρονόμοι φανήσεσθαι καί μετά πάντων αὐτῶν εἰς τήν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν εἰσελθεῖν·
因為這靈降在你們身上,必成為你們發光的洗池,並把你們全然、莫可言喻地包裹在祂自己裡面,使你們重生——從朽壞變為不朽,從必死變為不死,並且不再是人的兒子,而藉著收養與恩典成為神的兒子和神——只要你們也願意顯明為聖徒的親屬與同承受產業的,並與他們眾人一同進入天國;
For this Spirit, descending upon you, will become for you a font of light, and enfolding you wholly, ineffably, in himself, will regenerate you—from corruptible into incorruptible, from mortal into immortal, and instead of sons of men into sons and gods of God by adoption and grace—if indeed you also are willing to be shown to be kinsmen and co-heirs of the saints, and to enter with them all into the kingdom of the heavens;
1:2908
ἡμῶν ἔγνωμεν τόν Στουδιώτην, ἐν τῇ καθ ἡμᾶς γενόμενον γενεᾷ, καί οὐ μόνον αὐτόν, ἀλλά καί τινάς ἄλλους τῶν αὐτοῦ μαθητῶν, διά τῶν αὐτοῦ δεήσεων καί εὐχῶν, ἀφάτῳ φιλανθρωπίᾳ τοῦ ὑπεραγάθου Θεοῦ τοῦ τοιούτου καταξιωθέντας, ὡς ἔφην, καλοῦ
我們認識那位斯圖迪特(司徒代人)修士,他生活在與我們同世代;不僅是他,還有他門徒中的另一些人,藉著他的祈求與禱告,因那至善之神說不出的仁慈,如我所說,被算為配得這樣的美善。
We knew the Studite, who lived in the generation with us, and not only him but also certain others of his disciples, who through his supplications and prayers, by the unspeakable loving-kindness of the supremely good God, were deemed worthy, as I have said, of such a good.
1:2909
Λέγω δέ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἐκείνων δυνάμει καυχώμενος, ἀλλά τῇ ἀγαθότητι εὐχαριστῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ καί κηρύττων ταύτην πᾶσιν ὑμῖν, ἵνα καί ὑμεῖς αὐτοί σπουδάσητε τοῦ τοιούτου καταξιωθῆναι καλοῦ
但我說這話,並不是誇耀他們的能力,乃是感謝神的良善,並向你們眾人傳揚,好使你們自己也殷勤,得算為配得這樣的美善。
But I say this not boasting in their power, but giving thanks to the goodness of God and proclaiming it to you all, that you yourselves may also be earnest to be deemed worthy of such a good.
1:2910
Τοῦτο γάρ ἐστι τό γνώρισμα τῆς κατά Θεόν ἀγάπης, ἵνα μή μόνον ἑαυτῷ τις τήν κτῆσιν περιποιῆται τοῦ καλοῦ, ἀλλά καί τοῖς πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἀδελφοῖς γνωρίζῃ τόν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ καί προτρέπηται αὐτοῖς ζητῆσαι καί εὑρεῖν καί πλουτῆσαι αὐτόν
因為這是照神而有之愛的記號:人不單為自己謀取那美善的產業,也把自己的財富向鄰近的弟兄顯明,並勸勉他們去尋求、尋見、並在其中致富。
For this is the mark of love according to God: that one should not procure the possession of the good for himself alone, but should also make known his wealth to his neighboring brethren and exhort them to seek and find and grow rich in it.
1:2911
Διά τοῦτο τοιγαροῦν, ὡς ὁρᾶτε, βοῶ πρός ὑμᾶς, τάς προφητικάς ἀναλαμβάνων φωνάς·
所以,正如你們所見,為這緣故我向你們高聲呼喊,引用先知的話:
For this cause, therefore, as you see, I cry aloud to you, taking up the prophetic words:
1:2912
Τῇ ῥᾳθυμίᾳ καί ἀμελείᾳ καί ταῖς ἐπιθυμίαις καί ἡδοναῖς τῆς σαρκός ἐκδότους ἑαυτούς ποιήσαντες, ἀδύνατον εἶναι ὑμῖν διά μετανοίας ἐκκαθαρθῆναι καί Θεῷ προσεγγίσαι λέγετε·
你們既把自己交給怠惰、疏忽,以及肉體的私慾和宴樂,就說你們不可能藉悔改得潔淨、親近神;
Having given yourselves over to sloth and negligence and to the desires and pleasures of the flesh, you say that it is impossible for you to be cleansed through repentance and to draw near to God;
1:2913
καί οὐ τοῦτον μόνον, ἀλλ οὐδέ τήν τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ χάριν λαβεῖν δυνατόν καί δι αὐτῆς ἀναγεννηθῆναι καί υἱοθετηθῆναι καί ἐξομοιωθῆναι αὐτῷ;
不僅如此,你們還說不可能領受祂之靈的恩典,並藉此重生、得兒子的名分、變成像祂的樣式?
and not only this, but also that it is impossible to receive the grace of his Spirit and, through it, to be born again and adopted and made like to him?
1:2914
Οὐκ ἔστι τοῦτο ἀδύνατον, οὐκ ἔστιν
這並非不可能——絕非不可能。
This is not impossible—it is not.
1:2915
Ἀδύνατον μέν γάρ ἦν πρό τῆς αὐτοῦ ἐπί γῆς παρουσίας·
因為在祂降臨地上之前,這確實是不可能的;
For it was indeed impossible before his coming upon earth;
1:2916
ἀφ οὗ δέ εὐδόκησεν ἄνθρωπος γενέσθαι καί κατά πάντα χωρίς ἁμαρτίας ἐξομοιωθῆναι ἡμῖν Δεσπότης τῶν ἁπάντων Θεός, δυνατά ἡμῖν ταῦτα καί ῥᾴδια ἀπειργάσατο, δεδωκώς ἡμῖν ἐξουσίαν υἱούς γενέσθαι Θεοῦ καί συγκληρονόμους αὐτοῦ, πρέπει πᾶσα δόξα, τιμή καί προσκύνησις εἰς τούς αἰῶνας
但自從萬有的主神樂意成為人,並在除了罪以外的一切事上與我們一樣之後,祂就使這些事對我們成為可能又容易,賜給我們權柄成為神的兒子和祂同承受產業的——願一切的榮耀、尊貴和敬拜都歸給祂,直到永遠。
but from the time when the Master God of all things was well pleased to become man and to be made like to us in all things apart from sin, he wrought these things possible for us and easy, having given us authority to become sons of God and his co-heirs—to whom belongs all glory, honor, and worship unto the ages.
1:2917
Περί μετοχῆς Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
論分享聖靈。
Concerning partaking of the Holy Spirit.
