554:1
V ers. 14. — Putasne mortuus homo rursum vivet? 16. Nonnunquam a fortibus infirmitatis verba su- scipienda. — Solent justi viri in eo quod ipsi certum ac solidum sentiunt quasi ex dubietate aliquid pro- ferre, ut infirmorum in se verba transferant. Sed rursum per e fortem sententiam infirmanti dubietate omnimodo contradicunt, quatenus per hoc quod dubie proferre cernuntur infirmis aliquatenus con- descendant, et per hoc quod certam sententiam proferunt, 399 infirmorum mentes dubias ad soli- ditatem trahant. Quod nimirum dum faciunt exem- plum nostri capitis sequuntur. Passioni quippe Do- minus propinquans infirmantium in se vocem sumpsit, dicens:
第十四節。——「你以為死人還能再活嗎？」16. 剛強者有時當領受軟弱之言。——義人常在他們自己確信為堅定確實之事上，彷彿出於疑惑而說出某話，好將軟弱者的言語歸於自己身上。然而，他們又以剛強的斷語全然駁斥那動搖的疑惑，使他們藉「顯得帶著疑惑說話」這一點，在某程度上俯就軟弱之人，又藉「發出確定的斷語」這一點，將軟弱者疑惑的心引向堅定。他們如此行時，無疑是效法我們元首的榜樣。因為主臨近他的受難時，取了軟弱者的聲音，說：
Verse 14. — Do you suppose a dead man shall live again? 16. Sometimes words of weakness are to be taken up by the strong. — Righteous men are wont, in that which they themselves feel to be certain and firm, to put forth something as it were out of doubt, so that they may transfer to themselves the words of the weak. But again, by a strong statement they altogether contradict a wavering doubt, so that by this — that they are seen to speak in doubt — they may to some degree condescend to the weak, and by this — that they utter a certain statement — they may draw the doubting minds of the weak to firmness. And in doing this they doubtless follow the example of our Head. For the Lord, drawing near to his Passion, took upon himself the voice of those who are weak, saying:
554:2
Pater mi, si possibile est, transeat a me calix iste ( Matth. xxvi, 39), eorumque timorem, ut abs- traheret, suscepit; et rursus per obedientiam vim fortitudinis ostendens ait: Verumtamen non sicut ego volo, sed sicut tu ( Ibid., 39) ut cum hoc imminet quod fieri nolumus, sic per infirmitatem petamus ut no(??) fiat, quatenus per fortitudinem parati simus ut vo- luntas conditoris nostri etiam contra voluntatem nostram fiat. Hoc igitur exemplo nonnunquam a for- tibus infirmitatis verba suscipienda sunt, ut per eo- rum post praedicamenta fortia infirmorum corda gratius roborentur. Unde beatus Job, cum quasi du- bitantis verba pr(??)ulit, dicens: Putasne mortuus homo rursum vivet?
「我父啊，倘若可行，求祢叫這杯離開我」（太二十六39），並取了他們的懼怕，為要除去這懼怕；隨後又藉順服顯出剛強之力，說：「然而不要照我的意思，只要照祢的意思」（同節），使我們當那不願臨到之事臨近時，一面藉軟弱祈求它不要成就，一面藉剛強預備自己，甘願讓我們創造主的旨意即使違反我們自己的意願也得成就。因此，按此榜樣，剛強者有時當領受軟弱之言，好叫他們隨後藉那剛強的宣告，使軟弱者的心更蒙恩地得堅固。故此有福的約伯，既彷彿懷疑者一般說出：「你以為死人還能再活嗎？」
My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me (Matthew xxvi, 39), and he took upon himself their fear, in order to draw it away; and again, showing the strength of fortitude through obedience, he says: Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will (same place, 39), so that, when that which we do not wish to happen is impending, we may through weakness ask that it not come to pass, yet through fortitude be ready that the will of our Creator be done even against our own will. By this example, therefore, words of weakness are sometimes to be taken up by the strong, so that afterwards, through their strong declarations, the hearts of the weak may be more graciously strengthened. Hence blessed Job, when he had put forth words as it were of one doubting, saying: Do you suppose a dead man shall live again?
554:3
illico sententiam suae certitudinis ad- junxit. qua ait:
隨即加上一句表達他自己確信的斷語，說：
immediately added a statement of his own certainty, in which he says:
