914:1
75. Christo nullus aut hominum aut angelorum comparandus. — Sardonychum, vi! sapphirum, b lapides pretiosos non esse quis nesciat? Et dum multi alii pretiosi sint lapides, qui longe istos æstimatione magmtudinis antecellant, cur sapuhius vel sardonychus potissimum pretiosus non inalus est, cum uterque lapis iste aliorum lapidum comparatione v lissimus sit? nisi ut eos lapides qui pretiosi describuntur, dum pretiosos non esse cognoscimus, in eorum intelligentia abud exquiramus. Sardonychus quippe terra! rubrae similitudinem tenet, sapphirus vero i aeream habet speciem.
七十五。無論是人是天使,無一可與基督相比。——誰不知道紅玉髓(sardonyx)或藍寶石(sapphire)是寶石呢?既有許多別的寶石在大小的估價上遠遠勝過這些,為何藍寶石或紅玉髓不被特別看為寶貴,既然這兩種石頭與別的石頭相比乃是最不足取的?除非是要:那些被描述為寶貴的石頭,當我們認出它們並不寶貴時,可以在對它們的理解中尋求別的意義。因為紅玉髓持有紅土的樣式,藍寶石則有天空般的外觀。
75. No one, whether of men or of angels, is to be compared to Christ. — Who does not know that the sardonyx or the sapphire are precious stones? And while there are many other precious stones which far surpass these in estimation of magnitude, why is not the sapphire or the sardonyx especially esteemed precious, since each of these stones is the most worthless in comparison with the other stones? unless it be that those stones which are described as precious, while we recognize them not to be precious, we may seek something else in their understanding. For the sardonyx holds the likeness of red earth, but the sapphire has an airy appearance.
914:2
Possunt ergo in sardonycho per terram rubram homines, j in sapphiro autem per seream visionem angeli designari.Nam cum rubræ terræ speciem lapis sardonychus habeat, non immerito hominem designat, quia et Adam, qui primus est conditus, Latino sermone terra rubra nominatur. Quid est ergo quod dicitur, quia hæc sapientia lapidi sardonycho, 593 vel sapphiro non confertur, nisi quod is qui est Dei virtus, et Dei sapientia, mediator scilicet Dei et hominum, homo Christus Jesus, tanta magnitudine excellat omnia, ut ei nec in terra primi homines, nec in coelo angeli comparentur? Unde et per Psalmistam, dicitnr: Quis in nubibus æquabitur Domino, aut quis similis erit Deo inter filios Dei (Psal.
所以,人可以在紅玉髓中藉紅土被表徵,天使則可在藍寶石中藉天空般的外觀被表徵。因為紅玉髓石既有紅土的外觀,它表徵人便不無道理,因為那首先受造的亞當,在拉丁話中也被稱為「紅土」。那麼,所說的——這智慧不與紅玉髓石或藍寶石相比——是甚麼意思呢?無非是說:那位作神的能力、神的智慧者,就是神與人之間的中保,成為人的基督耶穌,以何等的偉大超越萬有,以致無論地上的初人、還是天上的天使,都不能與祂相比。因此也藉詩人說:「在天空誰能比耶和華呢?神的眾子中,誰能像耶和華呢?」(詩
Men, therefore, can be designated in the sardonyx by the red earth, but angels in the sapphire by the airy appearance. For since the sardonyx stone has the appearance of red earth, it not undeservedly designates man, because Adam also, who was first created, is in the Latin tongue named 'red earth.' What is it, then, that is said—that this wisdom is not compared to the sardonyx stone or the sapphire—but that he who is the power of God and the wisdom of God, namely the mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus, so excels all things in such magnitude that neither the first men on earth nor the angels in heaven are compared to him? Whence also it is said through the Psalmist: 'Who among the clouds shall be equal to the Lord, or who shall be like to God among the sons of God?' (Ps.
914:3
LXXXVIII, 7)? [ Vet. XXXI.] 76. Quantum apostoli cælibes anteccllant veteris testamenti patres conjugatosPossunt autem per sardonychum lapidem patres testamenti veteris, per sapphirum vero prædicatores exprimi testamenti novi. Illi quippe quamvis magnam justitiæ vitam tenerent, carnafi tamen propagationi serviebant. Quia igitur constat quod quædam terrena agerent, non immerito p r sardonychum lapidem, qui, ut prædiximus, terræ rubræ tenet speciem, designantur. Per sapphirum vero, qui alherei cst coloris, testamenti novi congrue prædicatores accepimus, qui carnalis propaginis desideria postponentes, cœlestia sola sectati sunt.
八十八7)?七十六。守獨身的使徒何等超越舊約中已婚的先祖。——但藉紅玉髓石可表明舊約的先祖,藉藍寶石則可表明新約的傳道者。因為那些先祖雖持守偉大的公義生命,卻仍事奉肉體的繁衍。既然公認他們行了某些屬地之事,他們藉紅玉髓石被表徵便不無道理,就是那如我們先前所說持有紅土外觀的石頭。但藉那有天空之色的藍寶石,我們恰當地理解為新約的傳道者,他們既撇下肉體繁衍的慾望,便單單追隨天上之事。
88:7)? 76. How far the celibate apostles surpass the married fathers of the Old Testament. — But by the sardonyx stone can be expressed the fathers of the Old Testament, and by the sapphire the preachers of the New Testament. For those, although they held a great life of justice, yet served carnal propagation. Since therefore it is agreed that they did certain earthly things, they are not undeservedly designated by the sardonyx stone, which, as we said before, holds the appearance of red earth. But by the sapphire, which is of an ethereal colour, we congruously understand the preachers of the New Testament, who, setting aside the desires of carnal propagation, followed heavenly things alone.
914:4
Unde ct propheta, conspiciens cuncta carnis desideria sanctos apostolos spiritali ardorc transcendere, admiratus ait: Qui sunt hi qui ut nubes volant (Isai. LX, 8)? Ac si aperte dicat: Nos per terram gradimur, qui adhuc conjugiis implicamur, et propagandæ soboli opera carnis impendimus; isti vero in terra non ambulant, std ut nubes volant, qui dum coelestia appetunt, de terrenis desideriis nihil tangunt. Ait ergo quia Dei sapientia sardonycho, vel sapphiro lapidi non confertur, ac si patenter iusinuet, dicens: Ei qui homo inter homines cernitur, nec in antiquis quisquam, nec in novis patribus aequatur, quia ex Deitate habet quod in humanitate quemquam similem non habet. Unde adhuc subditur:
因此先知也看見聖使徒以屬靈的熱忱超越肉體一切的慾望,就驚奇地說:「那些飛來如雲的是誰呢?」(賽六十8)。彷彿他明明地說:我們這些仍為婚姻所纏累、將肉體的作為耗費於所要繁衍之後裔的人,乃是行在地上;但那些人卻不行在地上,乃飛翔如雲,他們既尋求天上之事,便毫不沾染屬地的慾望。所以他說神的智慧不與紅玉髓或藍寶石相比,彷彿明明地暗示說:對那位在人間被辨認為人的,無論古時或新約的先祖中,無一與祂相等,因為祂從神性中擁有這事——就是在祂的人性中無人與祂相像。因此仍接著說:
Whence also the prophet, beholding the holy apostles transcend by spiritual ardour all the desires of the flesh, in wonder said: 'Who are these that fly as clouds?' (Isa. 60:8). As if he plainly said: We walk upon the earth, who are still entangled in marriages, and expend the works of the flesh on offspring to be propagated; but these do not walk on the earth, but fly as clouds, who, while they seek heavenly things, touch nothing of earthly desires. He says, therefore, that the wisdom of God is not compared to the sardonyx or the sapphire stone, as if he plainly insinuated, saying: To him who is discerned as man among men, no one among the ancient nor among the new fathers is made equal, because from his Deity he has this—that in his humanity he has no one like him. Whence it is still subjoined:
