604:1
V ers. 8.— Nunc autem oppressit me dolor meus, et in nihilum redacti sunt omnes artus mei. 9. Dolor Ecclesiae dum ad matorum exempla infir- mos pertrahi conspicit. — Dolore suo sancta Ecclesia premitur quando in malitia sua crescere perversos intuetur. Et quia dum pravi crescunt etiam infirmi qui in ea sunt ad sequenda studia pravitatis irritantur, recte additur: Et in nihilum redacti sunt omnes artus mei. Sicut enim per ossa fortes, sic per artus infirmi quique designari solent. Membra ergo Ecclesiae ad nihilum rediguntur quando ex imitatione pravorum in hoc mundo crescentium infirmi quique deterius in- firmantur.
第八節。——但如今我的憂傷壓迫著我，我的四肢都歸於無有。九、教會見軟弱之人被拖向惡人榜樣時的憂傷。——當聖教會見邪僻之人在其惡中增長時，她被自己的憂傷壓迫。且因墮落之人增長時，連在她中間的軟弱者也被激動去效法邪惡的行徑，所以恰當地補充說：我的四肢都歸於無有。因為正如骨頭常指強者，四肢常指弱者。因此，當軟弱之人因效法在此世增長的墮落者而更加軟弱時，教會的肢體便歸於無有。
Verse 8. — But now my sorrow has oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing. 9. The sorrow of the Church when she beholds the weak dragged along to the examples of the wicked. — Holy Church is pressed by her sorrow when she beholds the perverse growing in their malice. And because, while the depraved grow, even the weak who are in her are provoked to follow the pursuits of depravity, it is rightly added: And all my limbs are brought to nothing. For just as by the bones the strong, so by the limbs the weak are wont to be designated. The members of the Church therefore are brought to nothing when, from the imitation of the depraved who grow in this world, the weak are worse enfeebled.
604:2
Videntes etenim felicitatem malorum, saepe ab ipso fidei statu ditabuntur, bona temporalia appetunt, et veluti in nihilum rediguntur, quia b dum manentem Dei essentiam deserunt, diligentes transi- toria, quasi ad non esse tendunt. Bene autem dici- tur: Nunc autem oppressit me dolor meus, quia vide- licet tempus doloris Ecclesiae modo est, et tempus gaudii postmodum c sequetur. Saepe vero contingit ut sancta Ecclesia non solum infideles atque extra positos adversarios toleret, sed eorum quoque insi- dias d atque adversitatem vix ferat, quos intus habet. Unde beati viri voce apte mox subditur:
因為他們見惡人亨通，往往從信德的地位被奪去，貪戀屬世之物，彷彿歸於無有，因為當他們離棄神那永存的本質，貪愛短暫之物時，便彷彿趨向虛無。但說得好：如今我的憂傷壓迫著我，因為教會憂傷的時候正是現今，而喜樂的時候必隨後而來。然而往往聖教會不僅擔待外面的不信者和敵人，也幾乎難以承受她內中之人的詭計與敵意。因此，以蒙福者的口吻，恰當地隨即補充說：
For beholding the prosperity of the wicked, they often are torn away from the very state of faith, they desire temporal goods, and are as it were brought to nothing, because, while they forsake the abiding essence of God, loving transitory things, they tend as it were toward non-being. But well is it said: But now my sorrow has oppressed me, because, namely, the time of the Church's sorrow is now, and the time of joy shall follow afterward. But it often happens that holy Church not only tolerates the unbelievers and adversaries set outside, but scarcely endures also the snares and hostility of those whom she has within. Whence, in the voice of the blessed man, it is fittingly added at once:
