783:1
V ers. 23.— Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, oedi- ficaberis, et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo. 21. Quid ad Deum post peccata revertitur, in cogi- tatione et opere munducatur. — Fidelem populum haeretici a Deo discessisse existimant, quia cum suis praedicationibus resistentem vident. Quem cum malis praesentibus afflictum conspiciunt, quasi h per admo- nitionem ad conditoris gratiam trahere conantur, di- centes: Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, aedifica- beris. Ac si aperte dicant: Quia nostris dogmatibus resistendo a Domino recessisti, idcirco a justitiae aedificatione destructus es.
第二十三節。——你若歸向全能者，就必被建立，並要使罪孽遠離你的帳棚。凡犯罪之後歸向神的人，在思念與行為上都得潔淨。——異端者以為忠信的子民已離棄了神，因為他們看見這些人抵擋他們的宣講。當他們看見這些人被現世的災禍所苦時，就試圖彷彿藉勸勉將他們拉向造物主的恩典，說：你若歸向全能者，就必被建立。彷彿他們明明說：因為你抵擋我們的教條，就離棄了主，所以你從公義的建造上被拆毀了。
Verse 23. — If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, and thou shalt put iniquity far from thy tabernacle. He who returns to God after sins is cleansed in thought and in deed. — Heretics think that the faithful people have departed from God, because they see them resisting their preachings. And when they behold them afflicted with present evils, they try, as if by admonition, to draw them to the grace of the Creator, saying: If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up. As if they plainly said: Because by resisting our dogmas thou hast departed from the Lord, therefore thou art pulled down from the building of righteousness.
783:2
Tabernaculum vero ali- quando accipimus habitaculum corporis, aliquando vero habitaculum cordis. Nam sicut anima habita- mus in corpore, ita per cogitationes habitamus in mente. Iniquitas ergo in tabernaculo mentis, est per- versa intentio in studio cogitationis, iniquitas autem in tabernaculo corporis per expletionem operis ac- tio carnalis. Elipbaz itaque quia amicus beati viri exstitit, quaedam vera sentiens, et tamen in his, in quibus a rectitudine deviat, haereticorum speciem tenens, beatum Job ex virtutibus flagellatum ne- sciens 509 errasse credidit, quem percussum vidit, eique, si reversus ad Omnipotentem fuerit, pollicetor Dicens:
但「帳棚」我們有時指身體的住處，有時指心的住處。因為正如我們以靈魂居住在身體中，照樣我們藉思念居住在心思中。因此，心思帳棚中的罪孽乃是思念之追求中乖謬的意向；而身體帳棚中的罪孽乃是藉行為之完成而有的肉體行動。所以以利法，因他是這蒙福之人的朋友，領會了某些真確的事，然而在那些他偏離正直的事上，卻持守異端者的形貌，他不知道蒙福的約伯乃是因著美德而受鞭打，反倒以為約伯是在迷誤中；他既看見約伯被擊打，就向他應許——他若歸向全能者——說：
But by 'tabernacle' we sometimes take the dwelling of the body, and sometimes the dwelling of the heart. For just as we dwell as a soul in the body, so through our thoughts we dwell in the mind. Iniquity, therefore, in the tabernacle of the mind is a perverse intention in the pursuit of thought; but iniquity in the tabernacle of the body is a carnal act through the completion of the deed. And so Eliphaz, because he was a friend of the blessed man, perceiving certain true things, and yet, in those matters in which he deviated from rectitude, holding the likeness of heretics, believed that blessed Job — scourged out of his virtues — had gone astray without knowing it; and, seeing him struck down, he makes him a promise, if he shall return to the Almighty, saying:
783:3
Longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo, ac si patenter dicat: Quisquis ad Deum post errata revertitur, in cogitatione simul et in opere munda- tur. Sequitur:
你要使罪孽遠離你的帳棚，彷彿他公然說：凡在過犯之後歸向神的人，在思念與行為上都同樣得潔淨。接著說：
Thou shalt put iniquity far from thy tabernacle, as if he openly said: Whosoever returns to God after his errors, is cleansed alike in thought and in deed. There follows:
