633:1
V ers. 8. Stupebunt justi super hoc, et innocens contra hypocritam suscitabitur. 42. Imperfectorum est gloriae perversorum invidere. — Hoc loco innocens necdum perfectus justus acci- pitur, qui bona adhuc inchoans, etsi nocere aliis non novit, perfecta tamen ipse agere nequaquam valet. Et quia corda parvulorum, dum perversos florere in praesenti vita conspiciunt, invidiae facibus succen- duntur; tanto enim quisque plus invidet aliis bona praesentia, quanto ea ipse minus contempserit. Nam quod haberi ab omnibus non valet simul totum, d huic desit quod alter habuerit. Succenditur vero contra hypocritam innocens, dum gloriae simulatoris invidet (??)tiam qui nulli nocere solet.
第八節——「義人必因此驚駭,無辜的人必興起攻擊那假善人。」42. 嫉妒乖僻者的榮耀乃是不完全之人的作為。——在此處,「無辜的人」是指尚非完全的義人,他雖仍在開始行善、不知如何害人,自己卻全然不能行出完全之事。因為小子們的心,當見乖僻之人在今生興盛時,就被嫉妒的火把點燃;因為一個人越是自己少輕看今世的好處,就越發嫉妒別人所擁有的。既然一個人不能同時擁有全部,那麼別人所有的,於他便成了所缺的。無辜的人被激動而攻擊假善人,是當那素來不害人的人竟嫉妒偽善者的榮耀。
Verse 8.—'The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.' 42. It belongs to the imperfect to envy the glory of the perverse.—In this place, by 'the innocent' is understood one not yet a perfect just man, who, still beginning what is good, though he knows not how to harm others, yet is himself in no way able to perform what is perfect. And because the hearts of the little ones, when they behold the perverse flourish in the present life, are inflamed with the torches of envy—for each man envies present goods to others all the more, the less he has himself despised them. For since one cannot possess the whole at once, whatever another has is lacking to him. And the innocent is inflamed against the hypocrite, when he who is wont to harm no one envies the glory of the dissembler.
633:2
Sin vero hoc in loco in- nocens quilibet in bono perfectus accipitur, contra hypocritam innocens suscitatur quan(??)lo hunc et flo- rere conspicit, et tamen cum suo eum flore contem- nit; et praedicando quae recta sunt, tanto eum despi- ciendum caeteris esse denuntiat, quanto eum conspicit illa anxie quaerere quae cum eo diu non valeant per- manere. In quo adhuc sensu subjungitur:
但若在此處「無辜的人」是指凡在善上完全的人,那麼無辜的人被興起攻擊假善人,乃是當他見那人興盛、卻連同其興盛一併輕看他;並藉宣講正道,越見那人焦慮尋求那些不能與他長久同存之物,就越發宣告那人當受眾人的鄙棄。在此意義上,仍接著說:
But if in this place by 'the innocent' is understood anyone perfect in good, then the innocent is raised up against the hypocrite when he beholds him flourish, and yet, with his flourishing, despises him; and by preaching what is right, he declares him the more to be despised by the rest, the more he sees him anxiously seeking those things which cannot long endure together with him. In which sense there is still added:
