577:1
V ers. 18.— Sapientes confitentur, et non abscondunt patres suos. 41. Quos erroris magistros habuerunt haeretici, quam insulse jact(??)tent sapientes.—ln quorum et landem pro- siliunt, et eos velut solos Ecclesiae c praefuisse glo- riantur. Unde adhuc subditur: — V ers. 19: — Quibus solis data est terra, et non transivit alienus per eos. Solis suis patribus datam terram existimant, quia so- los errorum suorum magistros rexisse veraciter Ec- clesiam putant. Quis vero alienus nisi apostata angelus vocatur? Unde et per Psalmistam de cunctis simul malignis spiritibus dicitur: Quoniam alieni insur- rexerunt in me, et fortes qua sierunt animam meam ( Psal. liii, 5).
第十八節：「智慧人承認，並不隱瞞他們的祖宗。」41. 異端何等無味地誇耀那些他們奉為智者、卻是錯謬之師的人。——他們甚而跳起來稱讚這些人，並誇口說惟獨這些人曾治理教會。故又補充說——第十九節：「這地惟獨賜給他們，並無外人從他們中間經過。」他們認為這地惟獨賜給他們自己的祖宗，因為他們真以為惟獨他們錯謬之師曾真正治理教會。但除了那背道的天使，誰被稱為「外人」呢？故此，論到一切惡靈，藉詩人也說：「因為外人起來攻擊我，強暴人尋索我的性命。」（詩篇五十四3）
Verse 18: 'The wise confess, and do not hide their fathers.' 41. How insipidly the heretics boast of those masters of error whom they have had as wise men. — Into whose praise also they leap forth, and they glory that these alone presided over the Church. Whence it is further added — Verse 19: 'To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed through them.' They reckon that the earth was given to their own fathers alone, because they truly think that the masters of their errors alone governed the Church. But who is called a stranger, save the apostate angel? Whence also through the Psalmist it is said concerning all the malignant spirits together: 'For strangers have risen up against me, and the strong have sought my soul' (Ps. 54:5).
577:2
Haeretici igitur, quia doctorum suorum corda apostatae angelo existimant non fuisse sub- jecta, transisse per eos alienum denegant. Cui vide- licet alieno per unumquemque transire est iniquas in corde ejus cogitationes immittere. Unde et per prophetae vocem de malignis spiritibus contra stan- tem animam dicitur: d Et dixerunt animae tuae: Incurvare 408 ut transeamus ( Isai. li, 23). Sed Eliphaz Theman(??)tes quia quaedam narraturus au- diri vult, quamvis multa quae dicenda sunt sciat, sed quia beato Job dicenda non erant nesciat, audia- mus sententias quas contra beatum Job protulit. Nec enim debemus cui, sed solum pensare quid dixit. Sequitur:
因此異端既認為他們教師的心未曾臣服於那背道的天使，便否認有外人從他們中間經過。對這外人而言，經過任何人，就是把邪惡的思念投入他心中。故此，論到惡靈攻擊那站立的靈魂，藉先知的聲音也說：「他們對你的心說：你屈身，容我們踐踏過去。」（以賽亞書五十一23）但因為提幔人以利法將要陳述某些事，願意有人聽他——他雖知道許多當說的事，卻不知道這些事不當對蒙福的約伯說——就讓我們聽他向蒙福的約伯所發的言論。因為我們不該衡量他對誰說，只該衡量他說了什麼。接著說：
The heretics therefore, because they reckon that the hearts of their teachers were not subjected to the apostate angel, deny that a stranger passed through them. For this stranger, to pass through anyone is to send wicked thoughts into his heart. Whence also through the voice of the prophet it is said concerning the malignant spirits against the standing soul: 'And they said to your soul: Bow down, that we may pass over' (Isa. 51:23). But because Eliphaz the Temanite, being about to narrate certain things, wishes to be heard — although he knows many things which are to be said, yet because he is ignorant that they were not to be said to blessed Job — let us hear the opinions which he brought forth against blessed Job. For we ought not to weigh to whom, but only what he said. There follows:
