ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

1:1
[ Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐπο]ίησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν
In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
起初，神創造天地。
1:2
···] τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς ὁρατὰ καὶ ἀόρατα φέρεται, τῶν μὲν ὁρατῶν [ τὰ σώματα, τ]ῶν δὲ ἀοράτων τὰ ἀσώματα καὶ νοητὰ δηλούντων
... of God is borne toward things visible and invisible, the visible being the bodies, while the invisible signify the incorporeal and intelligible realities.
……神的〔作為〕延及可見與不可見之物：可見者乃是諸有形之體，而不可見者則指那些無形而屬理智的實在。
1:3
···] μ̣άλιστα ἐν τῇ βίβλῳ [ ··]τ̣η προηγουμένως τε·η̣ς̣ [ ···
... especially in the book ... in a preeminent manner ...
……尤其在這卷書中……以居首的方式……
1:4
···]ως ὅτι γέγονεν εἰπεῖν [··]αξατε τὴν αἰτίαν τη̣σ···
... that it came to be, to say ... declare the cause of this ...
……說它〔已〕生成……〔請〕陳明其緣由……
1:5
τὰ μέρη τοίνυν τ[ο]ῦ κόσμου καὶ αὐτὸν τὸν [ κόσμον] [ ···
The parts, then, of the world, and the world itself ...
如此說來，世界的各部分，以及世界本身……
1:6
···]τες ἦσαν Αἰγύπτιοι, ἐξ ὧν Ἑβραῖοι μαθόντες [ ···
... were Egyptians, from whom the Hebrews, having learned ...
……〔他們〕是埃及人，希伯來人從他們那裡學得……
1:7
αὐτοῖς ἐπὶ ὅλα τετρακόσια τριάκοντα ἔτ̣[η ···
... to them for a full four hundred and thirty years ...
……在他們〔中間〕整整四百三十年……
1:8
ἀκ̣όλουθον ὅταν τὸν νόμ[ον ···
It is consequent, then, that when the Law ...
由此可推知，當律法……
1:9
···]ο̣υ ὄντων εἰς ὃν ἀπ̣···
... of those which exist, into which ...
……在那些存在之物中，進入其中……
1:10
ἀναγ]καῖον οὖν ἦν διδάξαι ὅτ̣ι̣ ···
It was necessary, therefore, to teach that ...
所以有必要教導說……
1:11
···] διότι καὶ ἀπὸ κοσμογονίας ···
... because also from the account of the world's origin ...
……因為也是從創世的敘述……
1:12
···[......] [δύναται ὁ] Θεὸς νοεῖσθαι καὶ φανεροῦσ[θ]α̣ι ···
... God can be conceived and made manifest ...
……神能被領會並被顯明……
1:13
···]ω̣ς εἴρηται ὅτι ἐν ἀρχῇ ὁ Θεὸς ἐ[πο]ίησεν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ [ τὴν γῆν·
... as it has been said, that in the beginning God made the heaven and the earth.
……正如所說：起初，神創造天地。
1:14
ἡ γὰρ] ὁρωμένη κτίσιν ὑπὸ τούτων περιέχε[ται, τῆς μὲν] [ γῆς τὰ ζῷα] καὶ φυτὰ καὶ ὕδατα περιεχούσης, το[ῦ δὲ οὐρανοῦ] [ τὸν ἀριθ]μ̣ὸν τῶν ἄστρων·
For the visible creation is comprehended under these, the earth comprehending the living creatures and plants and waters, and the heaven the multitude of the stars.
因為那可見的受造界乃包含於此二者之中：地包含著動物、植物與眾水，而天則包含著繁星之數。
1:15
προεπινοεῖται οὖν [πάντων τῶν] [ ζῴων καὶ] φυτῶν καὶ ὑδάτων ἡ γῆ, ἧς μὴ ὑφεστώσ[ης οὐ δύναται] [ὕπαρξις τ]ῶν ἄλλων εἶναι, τῶν δ' ἄστρων καὶ σελη´̣[νης ···
The earth, therefore, is conceived as prior to all the living creatures and plants and waters, for if it does not subsist, the existence of the others cannot be; and the stars and the moon ...
所以，地被視為先於一切動物、植物與眾水而被構想；因為若地不存立，其餘之物便無從存在；而星辰與月亮……
1:16
ὁ οὐ]ρανός, οὗ χωρὶς τούτων τι οὐκ ἂν ὑπ[άρχοι; εἰ] [ δέ τίς τιν]α χρόνον ἂν οἰηθείη εἶναι τὴν̣ [ἀρχὴν ···
... the heaven, without which none of these things could exist. But if anyone should suppose that the beginning belonged to some span of time ...
……天，若無天，這些物中無一能存在。但若有人以為那『起初』屬於某段時間……
1:17
ἐξε]τάζων εὕροι ταῦτα τοῦ χρόνου προεπιν[οεῖσθαι·
... examining, he would find that these things are conceived as prior to time.
……若加考究，便會發現這些物是被構想為先於時間的。
1:18
καὶ] [ τὸ τῆς ἀρχ]ῆς ὄνομα οὐχ ἓν ἀλλὰ πολλὰ σημαίνει·
And the name of 'beginning' signifies not one thing but many.
而『起初』這名稱所指的並非一事，而是許多含義。
1:19
···]ν μηκύνω τὸν λόγον σημαίνει ποτὲ τὴν [αἰτίαν ὡς] [ἐνταῦθα τὸ] τοιοῦτόν ἐστιν·
... lest I prolong the discourse — it sometimes signifies the cause, as here such is its meaning:
……免得我把話說得太長——它有時指原因，正如此處其意即是：
1:20
ἐν αἰτίᾳ ὑπῆρχεν ὁ οὐρανὸς κα[ὶ ἡ γῆ, τῆς] α σοφίας αἰτίας τῆς ὑπάρξεως καὶ αὐτῶν καταστάσ[ης·
The heaven and the earth existed in a cause, since Wisdom was the cause of their existence and of their establishment.
天地是在一個原因之中而存在的，因為智慧乃是它們得以存在並得以成立的原因。
1:21
οὐ γὰρ ἀγεν]- νήτως ἢ αὐτομάτως ὑπῆ[ρ]ξεν ὁ κόσμος·
For the world did not come to exist without being generated, nor by chance.
因為世界並非未經生成、亦非偶然自成而存在的。
1:22
πάντα γὰρ [ διὰ τοῦ λόγου ἐγέ]- νετ̣ο καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἐκτίσθη τὰ ἐπὶ γῆς καὶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς [οὐρανοῖς τὰ ὁρατὰ] καὶ τὰ ἀόρατα·
For all things came to be through the Word, and in Christ Jesus were created the things upon the earth and the things in the heavens, the visible and the invisible.
因為萬物都是藉著道而成的，並且那在地上與在諸天之上的、可見與不可見的，都是在基督耶穌裡被造的。
1:23
ἐν γὰρ τῷ υἱῷ τὰ πάντα συνέστηκε [ καὶ εἰς αὐτόν, ὅς] ἐσ[τι] πρὸ πάντων·
For in the Son all things hold together, and unto him, who is before all things.
因為萬有都是在子裡面聯合而立，並且是歸於祂的；祂是在萬有之先。
1:24
ἄνευ γὰρ τοῦ λόγου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς οὔ[τε προφορικὸς] οὔτε ἐνδιάθετός ἐστιν ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τοῦτο, Θεοῦ οὐσ[ιώδης ···
For without the Word of God — who is neither uttered nor inward but is this very thing, God's substantial ...
因為若沒有神的道——祂既非〔僅〕發於外的言語，亦非〔僅〕存於內的心思，乃正是那本體，神的本質之〔道〕……
1:25
τῷ] ὄντι, ο[ὐδ]ὲν ὑποστῆναι δύναται·
... in truth, nothing is able to subsist.
……真正說來，沒有任何事物能夠存立。
1:26
···] γρ̣α̣φὴν ἧς μέλλοι ο̣ι̣κοδομῆσαι πό[λεως ···
... a plan of the city which he is about to build ...
……他將要建造之城的〔圖樣〕規劃……
1:27
[Σημαίνει] [δέ ποτε τὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς ὄ]νο[μα τὴν βα]σιλείαν, ἵν' ᾖ καὶ ἐνταῦθα [ὅτι βα]- [σιλεὺς ὢν καὶ ἐξου]σιάστης πεποίηκεν τόδε τὸ πᾶν·
The name of 'beginning' sometimes signifies the kingdom, so that here too it means that, being a king and one who wields authority, he made this universe.
『起初』這名稱有時指王權，以致此處之意也是：〔神〕作為君王與掌權者，造成了這整個宇宙。
1:28
··]έβαλεν αὐ[τ]ῷ ὑ´̣λην πρὸς τὴν τοῦ παντὸς ο̣[ὐσίαν] [ ···
... he cast down matter for it, toward the substance of the whole ...
……祂為之投下質料，以成就那全體的〔本質〕……
1:29
··] Εἰ δέ τι̣ς̣ κ̣αὶ τ̣η`̣ν ὑποκειμένην αὐτοῖς οὐσίαν [ ···
... But if anyone should also the substance underlying them ...
……但若有人也〔問及〕那作為它們根基的本質……
1:30
ὑπό]θεσις γὰρ καὶ θεμέλιος τῶν ὅλων ὑπάρχων υ[···
For being the foundation and ground-work of all things ...
因為〔祂〕作為萬物的根基與根本……
1:31
··] Θεοῦ λόγος, ὅστις ᾗ μὲν πρὸς τὸν Πατέρα ἐν ε[···
... the Word of God, who, insofar as he is toward the Father, is in ...
……神的道，祂就其與父的關係而言，是在〔父〕之內……
1:32
ὁμο]ούσιος αὐτῷ τυγχάνων, ἁπλῆ οὐσία ὑπάρχει [···
... being consubstantial with him, exists as a simple substance ...
……〔祂〕與父同質，乃是單純的本體而存在……
1:33
··]η πρὸς τὰ δημ̣ι̣ουργούμενα ἔχει τὴν σχέσιν [···
... has its relation toward the things created ...
……〔祂〕與那些受造之物存有關係……
1:34
·]ο̣υσα τὰ πάντα πρὸς τὸ ἑαυτῆς βούλημα [···
... directing all things toward its own will ...
……〔智慧〕引導萬物歸向自己的旨意……
1:35
··]ῃ σοφία ἀλλὰ αὐτὸ τοῦτο οὐσιώδης
... not by participation Wisdom, but this very thing substantially.
……並非因分有而為智慧，乃正是那本體上的智慧。
1:36
Ἡ δὲ γῆ ἦν ἀόρατος [ καὶ ἀ]- [ κατασκεύαστος καὶ σ]κότος ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου·
But the earth was invisible and unformed, and darkness was upon the abyss.
地是空虛混沌，淵面黑暗。
1:37
καὶ πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπε̣[φέρε]- [ το ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατο]ς
And the Spirit of God was being borne over the water.
神的靈運行在水面上。
1:38
[ ̔Η τῆς λέξεως κατα]νόησις ὑποβάλλει ὡς ἡ γῆ ὑποστάση ὑπὸ τῷ [ὕδατι] [···
The consideration of the wording suggests that the earth, subsisting beneath the water ...
對這措辭的細察暗示：地乃是存立於水之下……
1:39
··] ὤφθη τοῦ Θεοῦ εἴποντος·
... it was made to appear when God said:
……當神說話時，它便顯露出來：
1:40
Συναχθήτω τὸ ὕδωρ [ τὸ ὑποκάτω] α [ τοῦ ο]ὐρανοῦ εἰς συναγωγὴν μίαν καὶ ὀφθήτω η̣ ξ̣η̣ρ̣α´̣·
Let the water which is beneath the heaven be gathered together into one gathering, and let the dry land appear.
天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來。
1:41
·]τος τοῦ ὕδατος διέμεινεν ἡ γῆ τοσοῦτον ἔχουσα̣ ···
... of the water, the earth remained, having so much ...
……當水〔退去〕，地便留存下來，具有如此之多的……
1:42
·]σ̣ην ἔμελλεν εἶναι χρειῶδες καὶ πρ̣ο`̣ς τὰ ζῷα ·ε···
... which was to be useful and serviceable for the living creatures ...
……那將要成為有用之物，並適於供動物〔之用〕……
1:43
·]τως εἶχεν μεῖναι οὐκ ἠδύνατο ου̣δὲ ···
... it could not have remained so, nor ...
……它不能保持那樣，也不能……
1:44
τὸ ἦν τὸ ἀγένητον δηλοῦν ···
The word 'was' declaring the ungenerated ...
『是（曾是）』一詞表明那非受生成之物……
1:45
Ο̣υ̣δ̣ε`̣ γ̣ὰρ [ἀεὶ τὸ] ἦν τὸ ἀΐδιον δηλοῖ, ἀλλὰ πολλάκις ···[···
For 'was' does not always declare the eternal, but often ...
因為『是（曾是）』並不總是表明那永恆之物，而是常常……
1:46
··]τω συνῆπται ὡς τὸ καὶ ἦν ἀνὴ[ρ ἐκεῖνος εὐγένης ···
... it is joined, as in 'and there was that man, well-born ...'
……〔此詞〕被連用，例如『那人是（曾是）出身高貴之人……』
1:47
[...............................] [····] ἀόρατος ου···
... invisible ...
……不可見……
1:48
διὰ τὴν τ[.............................] [ κατα]σκεύαστος, ἐπεὶ τὰ δυνάμεν[α
... on account of the ... unformed, since the things which are able ...
……因著那……未成形的，既然那些能夠……〔之物〕

... has come to this.
……已來到這地步。
1:50
Ταῦτα με`̣ν [..........................] [····] λέξεως ὑποβάλλει νοεῖν ··η, [.............................] [····]βοιμεν τὴν ἀόρατον καὶ ἀκα̣τα̣[σκεύαστον...................] [····]·
These things, then, the wording suggests us to understand ... that we might ... the invisible and unformed ...
如此，這措辭便暗示我們去領會……使我們得以〔思想〕那不可見而未成形的……
1:51
τῷ μὲν ἰδίῳ λόγῳ ἄποιος καὶ ἀ´̣[μορφος....................] [ ····]μάτων καὶ μορφωμάτων αυτ[
In its own proper account it is without quality and without form ... of ... and of shapes ...
就其自身本相而言，它是無性質且無形狀的……〔缺乏〕形貌與形狀……
1:52
κατα]- [σκευ]α´̣ζεται τοῦτο ἐξ ὅλων [...................................] [····] μετὰ τῆς ὕλης αὐτῆς καὶ [...............................] [ ····] ἐν τῇ Σοφίᾳ λέγει·
This is being fashioned out of the whole ... together with the matter itself, and ... in Wisdom it says:
此物乃是從全體被構造出來的……連同那質料本身，並且……在〔《所羅門智訓》〕智慧書中說道：
1:53
Οὐ γὰρ [ ἠπόρει ἡ παντοδύναμός σου χεὶρ καὶ κτί]- [ σασα τ]ὸν κ̣[ό]σμον ἐξ ἀμόρφου ὕλ[ης...........................] [ ····]ηματισ··ν μόνῳ λόγ[ῳ π]ρ̣ο̣ε̣π̣ι̣νοουμε[....................] ι
For your all-powerful hand, which also created the world out of formless matter, was not at a loss ... by the word alone, foreconceived ...
因為你那全能的手，就是那從無形質料創造世界的手，並非無能為力……唯獨藉著那被先行構想的道……
1:54
[Καὶ σκότος] ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου, κα[ὶ] πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἐπεφέρετ̣ο ἐπάνω τοῦ ὕδατος
And darkness was upon the abyss, and the Spirit of God was being borne over the water.
淵面黑暗；神的靈運行在水面上。
1:55
[Σκότο]ς μὲν οὖν τὸ αἰσθητὸν ε[ἴ τ]ις τοῦτο ἐκλάβοι, δυν[............] [ ···
If, then, one should take this darkness as the perceptible darkness ...
那麼，若有人把這黑暗解作那可感知的黑暗……
1:56
··] φωτὸς γεγενημένου σκότος ἦν οὐκ ουσ[..................] α φωτὸς ὑφιστάμενον, ὅπερ ἐπάνω τῆς ἀβύσσου ὑπῆρχεν
... light having come to be, there was darkness, not ... subsisting of light, which was upon the abyss.
……在光生成之〔前後〕，有黑暗存在，並非……由光所構成，那黑暗乃是覆在深淵之上的。
1:57
[ Ἡ ἄβυσσος] δέ ἐστιν ὕδωρ βάθυ, οὗ οὐκ ἔστιν μέτρον λαβει῀̣ν, τοῦ βάθου[ς τῷ μήκει] τε κ̣αὶ πλατείᾳ δηλονότι ἑπομένου
The abyss is deep water, of which it is not possible to take the measure, the depth being followed evidently by length and breadth.
所謂深淵，乃是深水，其深度是無法測量的；而深度顯然又伴隨著長與寬。
1:58
Τῷ ὕδατι ἐπιφέρεσ[θαι τὸ πνεῦμά] φησιν·
It says that the Spirit was being borne over the water.
經文說那靈運行在水面上。
1:59
κ̣αὶ εἴη μὲν κατα`̣ τὴν ἁπλουστέραν διάνοιαν πν[···
And, according to the simpler interpretation, it might be a spirit ...
並且，按較為淺白的理解，它或許是一種〔氣〕靈……
1:60
··] μέρος τῷ ἀμέτρῳ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐπικείμενον καὶ μάλιστ[α ···
... a part lying upon the immeasurable expanse of the water, and especially ...
……有一部分覆蓋在那浩瀚無量之水上，尤其……
1:61
ἐπ̣ε̣ι̣δὴ δὲ τὸ πνεῦμα ταῖς αἰσθηταῖς διήγεσιν [ ···
But since the spirit, through the perceptible ... narratives ...
但因那靈藉著可感知的……〔敘述〕……

... to sow ... and spiritual things also, oftentimes, which even now it does ...
……去播撒……並且也常常〔播撒〕屬靈之事，這也正是它如今所行的……
1:63

... the ... of that which is moved ...
……那可被推動之物的〔……〕
1:64
Διῄρηται τοίνυν ἡ τῶ[ν ···

The abyss, then, might be the ... of the ...

……靈、掌權的、有能的、寶座的、主治的……
1:69
τ[·] Εἴδοσάν σε ὕδατα ὁ Θεὸσ[, εἴδο]- [σαν σε καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν·
... The waters saw you, O God, they saw you and were afraid.
……神啊，眾水見了你，眾水見了你便都戰懼。
1:70
δῆλ]ον δὲ ὡς οὐ περὶ αἰσθητῶν [ὑδά]- [των ···
But it is plain that it does not speak concerning perceptible waters ...
但顯然，這並非在講論可感知的〔實質之〕水……
1:71
ὅτι οὐδὲ φοβεῖ]ται οὐδὲ ὁρᾷ, ἄψυχα γάρ·
For it neither fears nor sees, since these things are lifeless.
因為它既不懼怕也不看見，因為這些乃是無生命之物。
1:72
ὁρᾶ[ται] [ γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς ···
For God is seen ...
因為神是被看見的……
1:73
ἀλλ]ὰ νοήσει ἀσυγχύτῳ καὶ καθ[αρᾷ] [···
... but by an understanding unconfused and pure ...
……而是藉著那不混雜、純淨的悟性……

... not by nature, but out of knowledge ...
……並非按本性，而是出於認知……
1:76
··]·μενης κακίαν καὶ ἀρετὴν ἀνὰ μέρος ὑπο̣·[............] [ ···
... wickedness and virtue in turn ...
……惡與德輪流交替地……
1:77
γε]νηθήτω φῶς καὶ ἐγένετο φῶσ[ α τι φῶ[ς μ]ετὰ τῶν φωστήρων ὡς ἐν τῷ Αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸ[ν ἥλιος] καὶ σελ̣[ήν]η, αἰνεῖτε αὐτὸν πάντα τὰ ἄστρα καὶ τὸ φῶ[ς, ἕτερον] ἐκ τού[του] φῶς παρὰ τὸν ἥλιον καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἄστρα ὑπ[άρχειν] νομί[ζον]τες·
'Let there be light, and there was light.' Some suppose that this light, alongside the luminaries — as in the passage 'Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all you stars and light' — is a distinct light, other than this present one, existing apart from the sun and the remaining stars.
「要有光，就有了光。」有些人認為這光乃是與眾光體並列的，如同「日頭月亮，你們要讚美祂；星宿光明，你們都要讚美祂」那節經文所言，他們以為這是有別於當前之光的另一種光，存在於日頭與其餘星宿之外。
1:78
τάχα δὲ οὐ πάνυ ἀναντίρρητόν ἐστιν[...............] ···σ[···]δε τὴν ὑπόνοιαν ἔχοντες ὅτι πρὸ ἡλί[ου ...................] τις αὐ[γή,] ᾕπερ ἕτερον φῶς εἶναι νομίζουσιν·
But perhaps it is not altogether beyond dispute ... those who hold the supposition that before the sun there was some radiance, which they take to be a light distinct from it.
然而，這或許並非全無爭議……那些持有此臆測的人，以為在日頭之先曾有某種光輝，他們把它當作有別於日頭的另一種光。
1:79
··φασὶν γὰρ ὅτι μήπω ελ̣[..................] ····[··]τ̣ον καθ' ἡμᾶς ὁρίζοντα ἀλλ̣ὰ παρ··τ·[....................] ····[··]νοντο·
For they say that not yet ... which, according to us, bounds the horizon, but ...
因為他們說尚未……那按我們所說界定地平線的……卻……
1:80
···[....................] ····[··] ἑτέρα τοῦ ἡλίου ἡ ἔξω̣θ̣εν αὐγῂ···
... the outer radiance is other than that of the sun ...
……那從外而來的光輝乃是有別於日頭的……
1:81
···[..................] ····[··]·ιο τῶν̣ αι̣σθητῶν̣ εἰδέας ···
... the forms of sensible things ...
……可感之物的形相……
1:82
φ[..................] [..........] ·ι φωτὸς̣ [ αὐ]γαὶ ὡς καὶ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ·
... the rays of light, as also of the heaven.
……光的光芒，正如天的光芒一樣。
1:83
Ὥ]σπερ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ε··[...........] [
And just as upon the earth ...
而正如在地上……
1:84
]α̣ φυτὰ ὕστερον αὐτὰ κ·ιν̣[..........] [
... plants afterward ... them ...
……植物在後……它們……
1:85
]αι φῶς τι προυποκείμε[νον ............] [
... and a certain light lying beforehand as a substrate ...
……並有某種預先作為根基而存在的光……
1:86
παρά]σχον τὴν γένεσιν ταυτ̣[.............] [
... having furnished this coming-into-being ...
……供應了這生成……
1:87
πρὸς τ]ὴν ἀλληγορίαν πολλα[...............] [.........................]·ος θύρα ποιμὴν ὁδὸς [...............] [
... with a view to the allegory, many things ... a door, a shepherd, a way ...
……為著寓意的緣故，有許多事……門、牧人、道路……
1:88
φ]ῶς ἐθνῶν τοῦ εἶναί σ[ε εἰς σ]ωτηρίαν ε̣[ὼς ἐ]- [ σχάτου τῆς γῆς.] Τοῦτο δὲ διδάσκει οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ μὴ ὄντος̣ [ τὸν υἱὸν] α [ ἐγέννησ]εν̣, ἀλλ' ὅτι φῶς ὑπάρχοντα κατ' οὐσίαν κ[···]·δεν [···
'A light of the nations, that you should be for salvation unto the end of the earth.' This teaches not that He begot the Son out of that which is not, but that, being light according to essence ...
「作外邦人的光，使你施行我的救恩，直到地極。」這並非教導說祂是從無有中生了子，乃是說子按本質原是光……
1:89
····]εσθαι φῶς ἔθετο τοῖς τὸν παρ' αὐτοῦ ·[···]·ν θε [···
... He set as light for those who ... from Him ...
……祂為那些從祂……的人立為光……
1:90
Οὐ γὰρ ὅτε τέθειται φῶς το̣[ῦ νο]ητοῦ [ κόσμου, γ]έγονεν, < ἀ>ϊδίως ὑπάρχων φῶς·
For it was not when the light of the intelligible world was set in place that He came into being, since He exists eternally as light.
因為並非在那可悟世界之光被設立之時祂才存在，因祂原是永恆地作為光而存在的。
1:91
Ἦν γὰρ τὸ [φῶ]ς̣ τ̣ο`̣ [ ἀληθινό]ν, ὃ φωτίζει πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐρχόμενο[ν εἰς] τὸν κό- [ σμον
For 'It was the true Light, which enlightens every man that comes into the world.'
因為「那光是真光，照亮一切生在世上的人。」
1:92
Οὕτ]ω καὶ σοφία ὢν ὁ Υἱὸς ἀϊδίως, γίνετα̣ι̣ τῷ [σοφ]ισθῆ- [ ναι καὶ πᾶ]σιν̣ σοφία ὡς τοῖς ποθοῦσι μαθεῖν διδ[άσκα]λος, [ τότε μὴ ἀ]ρχὴν τοῦ εἶναι σοφία δεχόμενος, ἀλ[λ' ὢν ἀϊ]δι´̣ω̣ς, [ἡμῶν δὲ] σοφιζομένων·
So too the Son, being Wisdom eternally, becomes wisdom in the being-made-wise; and to all, as a teacher to those who long to learn, He becomes wisdom — not then receiving a beginning of being wisdom, but being it eternally, while it is we who are made wise.
照樣，子既是永恆的智慧，卻在使人得智慧一事上「成為」智慧；祂向眾人成為智慧，如同教師向那些渴慕學習的人一樣——祂並非在那時才領受作智慧的起頭，乃是永恆地作智慧，而得智慧的是我們。
1:93
αὐτὴ γὰρ περὶ ἑαυτῆς φ[ησιν·] Ἡνίκα [ ἡτοίμαζ]εν τὸν οὐρανόν, συμπαρήμην αὐτῷ, τῷ πατ[ρὶ δηλ]ονότι, [ σοφία τε] δικαιοσύνη καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρ[ωσις ἐγέ]νετ[ο] [ἡμῖν ···
For she says concerning herself: 'When He prepared the heaven, I was present with Him' — that is, with the Father, clearly; and 'she became for us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption ...'
因為她論到自己說：「祂立高天的時候，我在祂那裡」——顯然是指與父同在；並且她「為我們成了智慧、公義、聖潔和救贖……」

'And God saw the light,' it says, 'that it was good' — that is, the things that are of a nature to receive illumination ...
經上說：「神看光是好的」——就是說，那些本性能領受光照的事物……
1:104
Κ[α]ὶ [εἶδε]ν ὁ Θεὸς <τὸ φῶς> ὅτι καλόν
'And God saw the light, that it was good.'
「神看光是好的。」
1:105

For he who has fashioned by art, seeing the proportion of this member to that, and of that to this, beholds its beauty; whereas the man without art does not attain to that vision, which comes about by reasoning and by artistic understanding.
因為那憑技藝造作的人，既看見這一部分與那一部分、那一部分與這一部分之間的比例，便得以觀賞它的美麗；至於那沒有技藝的人，卻達不到這種觀看，這觀看乃是藉著推理與精巧的悟性而成就的。
1:124
Σωτὴρ εἶναι εἴρηται, κατ' ἀλληγορίαν ἡμέ[ρα ἔ]σται [ὡς εἴ]ρηται·
He is said to be Saviour; according to allegory, 'it shall be day,' as has been said.
祂被稱為救主；按寓意，「必成為白晝」，正如所說的。
1:125
Ἡ νὺξ προέκοψεν, ἡ δὲ ἡμέρα ἤγγικε[ν
'The night is far spent, and the day is at hand.'
「黑夜已深，白晝將近。」
1:126
Αὐτὸς] [γὰρ ἡ]μέρα καὶ φῶς ὑπάρχει, φῶς μὲν κατὰ τὴν οὐ[σίαν ...........] [ ····]···
For He Himself is day and light — light indeed according to essence ...

1:128
Ἀνατε]λεῖ γὰρ ὑμῖν τοῖς φοβουμ[ένοις τὸ ὄνομά μου ἥλιος [ δικαιοσύνης·
'For unto you that fear My name shall arise the Sun of righteousness.'
「但向你們敬畏我名的人，必有公義的日頭升起。」
1:129
οὐδ]ὲ γὰρ περὶ αἰσθητοῦ φωτὸς ·[..................] [................] τ̣ο τ̣οῖς φοβουμένοις προσενε·
For it is not concerning a sensible light ... to those who fear ...
因為這並非論到可感之光……向那些敬畏的人……
1:130
[.................] [................] ἀνατέλλει τὸν ἑαυτοῦ ἥλιον [..................] [................]·ηλων
... He makes His own sun to rise ...
……祂叫自己的日頭升起……
1:131
τ[ὸ φῶς ἡμέραν καὶ τὸ σκότος ἐκάλεσ]εν νύκτα
'The light He called day, and the darkness He called night.'
「神稱光為晝，稱暗為夜。」
1:132
Κατὰ πάσας τὰς [..................] [................] δεῖ λαβεῖν
According to all the ... one must take it.
按照一切的……必須如此領會。

因為有些人以為……
1:134

But one must reckon that ... comes about, which He called night ...
然而必須思量：那……得以成就，就是祂所稱為夜的……
1:135

'Day,' then, by the rule of allegory ... shining forth and illumination and ...
如此，按寓意的法則，「晝」……發出光輝與光照，並且……
1:136
τὸ ἐκ[άλεσεν ..] [................]·
The 'He called' ...
那「祂稱」一語……
1:137
ἀντὶ τοῦ ἀπέδειξεν ἐκδεκτέο[ν................] α τοῦτο γὰρ συνεχῶς τὸ σημαινόμενον ἐν ταῖς [ ···
It must be taken in place of 'He declared' ... for this is continually the meaning signified in the ...
必須把它理解為「祂顯明」……因為這正是在那些……中不斷所表達的意思。
1:138
Σημαίνει γάρ ποτε καὶ τὸ ἐποίησεν ἀντ[ὶ τοῦ ἀπέδει]- ξεν·
For sometimes 'He made' also signifies in place of 'He declared.'
因為有時「祂造」一語也用來表達「祂顯明」的意思。
1:139
τῷ γὰρ Σωτῆρι οἱ Ἰουδαῖοί φασιν ὅτι σὺ ἄνθρωπος ὢν [ ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν] θεόν ἀ[ν]τὶ τοῦ ἀποδεικνύεις τὸ ποιεῖς λέγοντες [ ···
For the Jews say to the Saviour, 'You, being a man, make Yourself God' — using 'make' in place of 'declare' ...
因為猶太人對救主說：「你是個人，反將自己當作神」——他們是用「當作」來表達「顯明」的意思……
1:140
καὶ πάλιν εἴρηται ὅτι διὰ [ τοῦ]το ἐζ̣[ήτουν ἀποκτεῖναι] Ἰησοῦν, ο[ὐ] μόνον ὅτι ἔλυεν τὸ σάββατον, ἀλλ' ὅτι καὶ πατέρα [ἴδιον ἔλεγεν] τὸν [Θ]εόν, ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ Θεῷ, ὅπερ ἴσον τῷ ἀ[γεννήτῳ Θεῷ ση]- μαίνε[ι]·
And again it is said that 'for this reason they sought to kill Jesus, not only because He broke the sabbath, but also because He called God His own Father, making Himself equal with God' — which signifies equal to the unbegotten God.
又說：「所以猶太人越發想要殺祂，因祂不但犯了安息日，並且稱神為祂自己的父，將自己和神當作平等」——這乃是指與那非受生的神平等。
1:141
καὶ ὁ Ἰωάννης δὲ ἐν τῇ κατ' αὐτὸν ἐπιστολ[ῇ γράφει·
And John too writes in his epistle:
約翰也在他的書信中寫道：
1:142
Ἐὰν] εἴπ[ωμε]ν̣ ὅτι οὐχ ἡμαρτήκαμεν, ψεύστην ποιοῦμεν [αὐτὸν, δηλον]- ότι τὸν Θεόν], ἐνταῦθα τοῦ ποιοῦμεν τὸ ἀποδείκνυμεν [ σημαίνοντος·] ἀλλὰ καὶ] περὶ τοῦ ἱερέως λέγεται τοῦ λαβόντος δια[···
'If we say that we have not sinned, we make him'—that is, God—'a liar'; here 'we make' has the sense of 'we prove.' But it is also said concerning the priest who has received … that the priest defiles him—that is, 'defiles him' signifying 'to demonstrate that he is defiled,' not that he himself …
「我們若說自己沒有犯過罪,便是以他為說謊的」──顯然是指神;在此「以之為」是「證明」的意思。但關於那領受……的祭司也說到,祭司使他成為不潔──顯然「使他不潔」乃是指「證明他已被玷污」,並非指他本身……
1:143
····]ας ὅτι μιαινεῖ αὐτὸν ὁ ἱερεύς, δηλονότι τ[οῦ μιαινεῖ] [αὐτὸν δη]λοῦντος τὸ ἀποδεῖξα̣ι̣ μ̣εμιασμένον, οὐκ αὐτὸν̣ [···
… that the priest defiles him—that is, 'he defiles him' signifying 'to demonstrate that he is defiled,' not [that he defiles] him himself …
……祭司使他成為不潔,顯然「使他不潔」乃是指「證明他已被玷污」,並非指[使]他本身[不潔]……
1:144
ἐξ] ἀρχῆς ὁ Θεὸς ἔννοιαν, καθ' ἣν διακρίνειν οἱ῀̣όν τε τ̣[ὸ] ἀγαθὸν [ καὶ κ]α̣κόν, ὅπερ ὑπάρ[χ]ει τοῖς ἀδιαστροφ···
… from the beginning God [implanted] a faculty of understanding, whereby it is possible to distinguish good and evil, which belongs to those undistorted …
……神從起初[賦予]了一種悟性,藉此便能分辨善惡,這是那些未受扭曲之人所具有的……
1:145
οἱ δ' ἄλλ]οι διεστραμμένοι καὶ ἐναλλὰξ τοῖς πράγμα[σιν] χρώ- [μενοι ···
But the others, being perverted and using things in a reversed manner …
但其餘的人,已被扭曲,並顛倒地運用萬物……
1:146
···] ὅτι τὸ ἀγαθὸν αἱρετόν ἐστιν τῷ ·α·δι·[···]··α [ ···
… that the good is a thing to be chosen …
……善乃是當被揀選之物……

在大多數情況下……

那些懷有這些被扭曲之[想法]的人……

'Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness'—which, indeed, they do not do in the case of physical reality (for they do not suppose darkness to be light), but in the matter of [moral] characters …
「禍哉!那些稱惡為善、稱善為惡,以暗為光、以光為暗的人」──這事他們在物質實在的層面上確實不做(因為他們並不以黑暗為光明),然而在[道德]品格的事上……
1:150

如今有些人……對那些並列擺放的人……乃是……作為另一個……
1:191
τοῖς προειρημένοις ἐκλημπτέον·
it is to be understood in accordance with what has been said before.
應當按照前面所說的來理解。
1:192
οὐ γὰρ προφορικῷ χρώμενος λόγῳ λέγει·
For he does not speak using an uttered word.
因為他並非運用發出口的言語來說話。
1:193
ἕπεται̣ γ̣ὰρ τῷ χρωμένῳ προ- φορ̣ι̣κ̣ῷ τὸ καὶ ἐνδιάθετον ἔχειν, τοῦ δὲ συνθέτου ἐστὶν εκτε··
For it follows that whoever uses uttered speech also possesses the inward word; and this belongs to what is composite …
因為凡運用發出口之言語的,也必隨之擁有那內在的言語;而這乃是屬於複合之物的……
1:194
[····]·πλους καὶ τὰ παν [···
… simple, and all the … …
……單純的,以及一切的……
1:195
ἑτέρως τὸ ἀληθὲς τῶν ειρ···
otherwise the truth of the things said …
否則那些所說之事的真理……
1:196

… of the divine Scriptures concerning …
……那論到……的神聖經卷……
1:197
πνεύματι ··δ··ληται ὡς ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ·
in spirit … as in the Gospel:
在靈裡……正如在福音書中:
1:198
Ὁ πι̣σ̣τ̣ε̣υ´̣ω̣ν ει̣ς̣ ε̣μ̣έ, καθῶς ε̣ἰ῀̣π̣ε̣ν̣ ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλι´̣α̣[ς αὐτοῦ] ρ̣ε̣υ´̣σ̣ο̣υ̣- σ̣ι̣ν̣ ὑ´̣δ̣α̣τ̣ο̣ς̣ ζ̣ῶντος, ὅπερ αἰσθητῶς μὲν ····[···
'He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water'—which, in the sensible sense …
「信我的人,就如經上所說,從他腹中要流出活水的江河來」──這在感官的意義上……
1:199
ἄνθρωπον ὑποβαλλο[μ]ένης περι···
… of the [nature] that is set beneath a man, concerning …
……那安置於人之下的[本性],論到……
1:200

… the inner man …
……那裡面的人……
1:201
καὶ προσ- ήκει αιν[··] ···
and it is fitting …
並且這是合宜的……
1:202
῞Υ̣δ̣ω̣ρ̣ π̣ο̣λ̣υ`̣ οὐ δυνήσεται σβέσ̣αι τὴν ἀγάπ̣ην δου- λόμενον μ···
'Many waters cannot quench love,' when it desires …
「愛情,眾水不能熄滅」,當它渴慕……
1:203
ε̣φάπαξ τῆς ἀντικειμένης δ̣υ̣ν̣α´̣μ̣εως πε- ρὶ ἧς ···
… once for all, of the opposing power concerning which …
……一次而永遠地,論到那敵對的權勢,關於它……
1:204
Ῥυ῀̣σ̣αί μ̣ε̣ ε̣ξ υ̣δα´̣των πολ- λῶν, ἅπερ ε···
'Deliver me from many waters,' which …
「求你搭救我脫離大水」,這……
1:205
ἐκ χειρὸς υἱω῀̣ν̣ α̣λ̣λ̣οτρίων, ὕδωρ λέγων τοὺς α̣λ̣λ̣ο̣τ̣ρ̣ι´̣ο̣υς υἱούς
'from the hand of the sons of strangers,' calling the alien sons 'water.'
「脫離外邦人之手」,乃是稱那些外邦之子為「水」。
1:206
Ἐα`̣ν̣ δ̣ι̣ε´̣λ̣θ̣ῃς διὰ πυρός, φλὸξ οὐ κατακ̣α̣υ´̣σ̣ε̣ι̣ σ̣ε̣, ἐὰν δι̣' ὕδατος, π̣ο̣τ̣α̣μ̣ο̣ι`̣ οὐ συγκλύσου- σίν σε, ἅπερ ἆθλα τῷ δικαίῳ δίδοται
'If you pass through fire, the flame shall not burn you; if through water, the rivers shall not overwhelm you'—which are given as prizes to the righteous man.
「你若從火中經過,火焰必不燒著你;若從水中經過,江河必不漫過你」──這些乃是賜給義人的獎賞。
1:207
Καὶ εἰ ἐπὶ τὰ τῶν αἰσθητῶν ποταμῶν τις αὐτὰ ἐκλάβοι, οὐ μέγα τὸ μὴ συγκλυσθῆναι ὑπὸ [ πο]ταμῶν αἰσθητῶν, πολλῶν [ κ]αὶ ἄλλων φαύλων τοῦτο προ̣π̣ε̣[π]ονθότων, μέγα δὲ τὸ μὴ ὑπενεχθῆναι τοῖς ῥεύμασιν τῶν ἀντικειμένων ἐνεργειῶν μηδὲ τῇ τούτων ἀμέτρῳ κακίᾳ, ἁ´̣πε̣ρ̣ μι̣σθὸς ὁ πρέπων τοῦ δικαίου τυγχάνει καὶ τέλος οἰκεῖον
And if someone should take these as referring to the rivers of sensible things, it is no great matter not to be overwhelmed by sensible rivers, since many other base persons have experienced this beforehand; but it is a great thing not to be swept away by the streams of the opposing energies, nor by their measureless wickedness—which very things prove to be the fitting reward of the righteous man and his proper end.
倘若有人把這些理解為感官事物之江河,那麼不被感官的江河漫過並非甚麼大事,因為許多其他卑劣之人也早已如此經歷過;然而不被那敵對勢力之洪流、也不被其無度的邪惡所沖走,這才是大事──而這正是義人合宜的賞賜與他本分的結局。
1:208
Τῶ[ν λο]γικῶν τοίνυν ζῴων διὰ τοῦ ὕδατος παρισταμένων, δηλοῦ[ται ὅ]τι παρ̣' ἰδίαν ὁρμ[ὴ]ν καὶ θέλησιν τὰ μὲν ἐν κακίᾳ, τὰ δὲ ἐ[ν ἀρ]ετῇ γέγονεν
Since, then, the rational living beings are represented by 'water,' it is made clear that, by their own impulse and will, some have come to be in wickedness and others in virtue.
既然那些有理性的生靈是以「水」來表徵的,便顯明:出於他們自己的衝動與意志,有的落在邪惡中,有的則存於美德中。
1:209
Πάντα μὲν γὰρ γέγονεν ἵνα ἀρετὴν ἔχῃ, ἀλλά [τιν]ες παρ' ἰδίαν ῥοπὴν τὸ δοθὲν οὐκ ἐφύλαξα[ν]
For all things came to be in order that each might possess virtue; but some, by their own inclination, did not preserve what had been given.
因為萬物被造,原是要使各自都能擁有美德;然而有些,出於自己的傾向,未曾持守那所賜下的。
1:210
Ἐπεὶ καὶ τὸν ἀ´̣ν[θρωπον] ὁ Θεὸς [ ε]ὔθη πεποίηκε[ν], αὐτοὶ δὲ τῆς εὔθητος ἀπέ- στη[σαν ···
For God also made man upright, but they themselves departed from uprightness …
因為神也造人正直,但他們自己卻離棄了正直……
1:211
τιν[··] Οὕτω γὰρ ἂν πα·[···
...for thus indeed would...
……因為如此才會……
1:212
··]ματη ···[·] τῆς [ σωτ]ηρίου οἰκονομίας σ[···
...of the saving dispensation...
……那救恩之奧秘安排（經綸）……
1:213
··], ἀλλ' οὐ μάτην γέγονε[ν]·
...but it did not come to be in vain.
……然而它並非徒然而生。
1:214
διόρθω[σ]ις γὰρ ὑπῆρξεν τοῖς ασ[···] ···
For it served as a setting-right for those who...
因為它成了那些……之人的匡正與更正。
1:215
ἰδίᾳ ἄρα ὁρμῇ τὰ μὲν [ ἀ]γαθά, τὰ δὲ κακὰ συνζώντω̣[ν λο]γ̣ικῶν ὑπάρχει
It is therefore by their own impulse that, among rational beings who live together, some are good and others evil.
因此，在共同生活的理性受造者之中，那些善的與那些惡的，乃是各憑自己的意向而然。
1:216
Τὸ γεγο[ν]ὸς οὖν στ[ερ]έωμα ἐμμέσῳ τοῦ ὕδα̣τός ἐστιν λόγος διαφορὰν ὑπάρξ[ου]σαν κατὰ γνώμην φανερὰν καθιστῶν, ὅστις ἐγκείμ[ε]νος τῷ ἡγεμονικῷ παρὰ Θεοῦ χωρίζει τὰ φα̣ῦλα τῶν ἀγαθῶν, [ἵ]ν' οὕτω καὶ ἕληται
The firmament, then, that came to be in the midst of the water is a principle that makes manifest a distinction existing according to disposition; being set within the governing faculty by God, it separates the base things from the good, so that one may thus even choose.
如此，那在水中間造成的穹蒼，乃是一種道理，使按著人的意念而存在的分別得以顯明；它由神安置在人心的主導官能之中，把卑劣的與良善的分開，使人得以如此有所選擇。
1:217
Τὸν δὲ χωρισμὸν οὕτως ἂν οὐ σωματικῶς ἐκλάβοις, θεωρήσας πῶς εἴρηται ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ πρὸς τὸν πλούσιον αἰτήσαντα ἀποσταλῆναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τὸν Λάζαρον·
You should not, however, understand this separation in a bodily manner; consider how it is spoken of by Abraham to the rich man who asked that Lazarus be sent to him:
然而，你不可按肉體的方式來理解這分別；當思想亞伯拉罕對那求人打發拉撒路到他這裡來的財主是怎樣說的：
1:218
Χάσμα μεταξὺ μέγα ἐστήρικται, δη̣λοῦντος ὅτι ἡ ἀρετὴ τῆς κακίας διέστηκεν οὐ τόπῳ ἀλλὰ διαφορᾶς ἐξαλλαγῇ καὶ ἐναντιότητι
'A great chasm has been fixed between us' — showing that virtue is separated from vice, not by place, but by the divergence and contrariety of their difference.
「在我們之間有深淵限定了」——這表明德行與惡行的相隔，並非因著地方，乃是因著其本質差異的分歧與對立。
1:219
Ἐπεὶ γὰρ ἀσυνύπαρκτός ἐστιν ἡ δικαιοσύνη τῇ ἀδικίᾳ, οὐ δύναται ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ εἶναι ὁ δίκαιος καὶ ὁ ἄδικος, ἐν ταὐτῷ δὲ οὐ τόπῳ λέγω ἀλλ' ἕξει̣ καὶ διαθ̣ε´̣σ̣ει
For since righteousness cannot coexist with unrighteousness, the righteous man and the unrighteous man cannot be in the same place — and by 'the same' I mean not the same location but the same habit and disposition.
因為公義既與不義不能並存，義人與不義之人便不能同處一處——我所說的「同處」並非指同一地方，乃是指同一的習性與心態。
1:220
Ὥσπερ οὖν ἐκεῖ διαφορὰ τῆς ἀρετῆς καὶ τῆς κακίας χάσμα εἰ´̣ρη̣ται διαιροῦν τὸ κακὸν ἀπ[ὸ] τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ, οὕτω καὶ νῦν στ̣[ερέ]ωμα̣ π̣εποίηκεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐμμέσῳ τοῦ ὕδατος, τοῦτ' ἔστιν ἡγεμο[νι]κῷ, ἵνα τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ κακοῦ διάκρισις γένηται
Just as, therefore, in that passage the difference between virtue and vice is called a chasm dividing evil from good, so also now God has made a firmament in the midst of the water — that is, in the governing faculty — that there might come to be a discernment of good and evil.
所以，正如在那段經文中，德行與惡行的分別被稱為一道深淵，把惡與善分開，照樣如今神也在水中間，就是在人心的主導官能中，造了穹蒼，好使善與惡的辨別得以生出。
1:221
Καὶ ἐπεὶ τῇ φύσει τὸ ἀ[γα]θὸν ἀνώφορόν ἐστιν, τὸ δὲ κακὸν κάτω ἕλκον τὸν αὐτῷ ἑκου[σί]ω̣ς χρώμενον–τῆς γὰρ ἀφροσύνης οἱ πόδες κατάγουσιν τοὺς [χ]ρωμένους αὐτῇ μετὰ θανάτου εἰς τὸν ᾅδην–, κάτω μέν ἐσ̣τ̣ι̣ τὰ χείρο̣ν̣α̣ τὰ δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ χρώμενα οἰκεῖα τοῖς ἄνω τυγχα´̣[νει]–ἀναλαμβάνων γὰρ πραεῖς ὁ Κύριος–, χρησίμως τοῦ στερεώματος, ὅ ἐστι λόγος πίστεως καὶ ἀρετῆς, διείργοντος τὸ χεῖρον τῶν σπουδαίων, ἵνα μήτ̣ε συν[··]·ι·η μητε κατα[···
And since by nature the good bears upward, while evil drags downward the one who uses it willingly — for the feet of folly lead those who employ it down to Hades along with death — the worse things are below, whereas the things that practice virtue belong to the realm above (for the Lord takes up the meek); the firmament, which is the principle of faith and virtue, usefully keeps the worse apart from the earnest, so that neither may they [come together]... nor down...
又因為善本性向上，而惡卻把甘心運用它的人向下拖拉——因為愚昧的腳把使用它的人帶下，同著死亡進入陰間——所以較劣的在下面，而那行德的則歸屬於上面之列（因為主提拔謙卑的人）；穹蒼，就是信與德的道理，有益地把較劣的與殷勤的隔開，使兩者既不……相合，也不……向下……
1:222
τὸ στερέω[μα] δὲ π[ρὸς τ]ὴν φύσι[ν ···
and the firmament, in relation to nature...
而那穹蒼，就本性而言……
1:223
οὐ]κ ἔστιν ἑτερ[··]·ως [στ]ερεὸν σῶμα ·[···
...it is not in any other way a solid body...
……它並非以別的方式成為堅固的物體……
1:224
δ̣[··] στασις ἔχον ὑπάρχε̣ι, ἀλλὰ καὶ οὕτω λ[··]η̣το[···
...it has a standing constitution, but even so...
……它具有一種穩立的狀態，然而縱使如此……
1:225
··]ν̣ καὶ πᾶσαν ὑπερβάλ[λ]ων σώματ[ος] οὐσίαν
...and surpassing every substance of body.
……並且超越一切物體的本質。
1:226
Εἶπεν ο[ὖν ὁ] Θεὸς [στερέ]ωμα γενέσθαι ἐμμ[έσ]ῳ τοῦ ὕδατος̣·
God said, then, that a firmament should come to be in the midst of the water.
於是神說，要有穹蒼在水的中間造成。
1:227
ἓν γάρ ἐστιν τὸ ὕδ[ωρ ἐκλ]ημφθὲν νόμῳ ἀλλη- γορίας, μιᾶς οὔσης τῆς λογικῆς οὐσίας [ κα]τὰ τὸ ὑποκείμενον, καὶ ἡ διάφορος γν[ώ]μη τὸν χωρισμὸν ἐνε[ποί]ησεν
For the water is one, being taken by the law of allegory, since the rational substance is one according to its underlying reality, and it was the differing disposition that produced the separation.
因為按著寓意之法而言，水乃是一；因就其本質底層而論，那理性的本體原是一，而是那不同的意念造成了分別。
1:228
Ἔδει γὰρ τὸ βούλημα τοῦ τῶν ὅλων Θεοῦ γε[ν]έ[σθ]α̣ι, τοῦ ἔργου θᾶττον δειχθέντος καὶ ἅμα τῷ λόγῳ καὶ τῷ θελήματι [ὑ]ποστάντος
For the will of the God of all had to come to pass, the work being shown forth all the more swiftly and coming into being together with the word and the will.
因為萬有之神的旨意必要成就，那工作既與話語和意願一同存在，也就更迅速地顯明出來。
1:229
Θέλημα δὲ αὐτοῦ ὁ Υἱὸς ὑπάρχει, δι' οὗ τὰ ὅλα συνέστη, Σοφία ὢν τοῦ γεννήσαντος λέγουσα·
And his will is the Son, through whom all things were constituted, being the Wisdom of the One who begot him, who says:
而他的旨意就是聖子，萬有藉他而立，他就是那生他者的智慧，說：
1:230
Ἡνίκα ἡτοίμαζεν τὸν οὐρανόν, συμπαρήμην αὐτῷ. Διόπ[ερ] ἐὰν ἀ[κ]ούωμεν εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τὸ ἐγένετο οὕτως, τὸν Υἱὸν νοο̣ῦντες τὸν ἀκούοντα καὶ πληροῦντα τὸ βούλημα [ ···
'When he was preparing the heaven, I was present with him.' Wherefore, if we hear 'God said' and 'it was so,' let us understand the Son to be the one who hears and fulfils the will...
「他預備諸天的時候，我與他同在。」因此，我們若聽見「神說」和「事就這樣成了」，就當把那聽命並成全旨意的理解為聖子……
1:231
···εν ἀλλ' ἵνα ἡμεῖς Πατρὸς καὶ Υἱοῦ ἕνωσιν ἔχον̣τες [διὰ τ]ούτων τῶν λέξεων δημιουργὸν τῶν ὅλων τὸν [ Πατέρα] κ̣[αὶ τὸν] Υἱὸν πιστεύωμεν, οὐχ ἕτερα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ ἕτερα [τοῦ Υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ ἐρ]γαζομένου·
...but so that we, having the union of Father and Son, may through these words believe the Father and the Son to be the maker of all things — the Son not working things other than the Father, nor the Father other than the Son —
……乃是要我們既有父與子的合一，便藉這些話語相信父與子同為萬有的創造者——聖子所行的並非與父不同，父所行的也並非與子不同——
1:232
εἴρηται γὰρ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ τοῦ Υἱοῦ·
for it has been said by the Son himself:
因為聖子自己曾說：
1:233
Ἃ γὰρ [ ἂν ἐκεῖνος ποι]ῇ, ταῦτα καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς ὁμοίως ποιεῖ. ι
'Whatever things he does, these the Son likewise also does.'
「凡父所行的，子也照樣行。」
1:234
[ Καὶ] ἐπ[οίησεν ὁ] Θεὸς τὸ στερέωμα καὶ διεχώρισεν ὁ Θεὸς ἀνὰ μέσο[ν τοῦ ὕ]δατος ὃ ἦν ὑποκάτω τοῦ στερεώ- ματο[ς] καὶ ἀνὰ [μέσον τοῦ] ὕδατος τοῦ ἐπάνω το[ῦ στ]ερεώματος
'And God made the firmament, and God divided between the water which was beneath the firmament and the water which was above the firmament.'
「神就造出穹蒼，將穹蒼以下的水，與穹蒼以上的水分開了。」
1:235
····]τοῦ ὕδατος, ὥ[σπερ πρ]ότερ[ον] ε̣ἴρη- ται, ···
...of the water, as was said before, ...
……那水，正如前面所說的，……
1:236
····] δὲ ὑπὸ τὸ στ[ερέωμ]α ε·[··] ἔτυχε ·····[·]·[·]·[····]·[·]···παντα τ̣·[····]·οπ̣·
...and that beneath the firmament happened to be... all the...
……而那在穹蒼以下的則正是……全部的……
1:237
··[····]·ν τῶν φθα̣σά[ν]τω[ν]
...of the things that came before.
……那些先前所有的。
1:238
Καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ Θεὸς το`̣ σ̣[τερέωμα οὐ]ρανὸν καὶ εἶδεν ὁ Θεὸς ὅτι καλόν
'And God called the firmament heaven, and God saw that it was good.'
「神稱穹蒼為天。神看著是好的。」
1:239
[ εἶδεν] ὁ Θεὸς ὅτι καλόν, τ̣ο̣σοῦτον δὲ ἔπ̣α̣ι̣νο̣ν ῥητέον ὅτι̣ ο̣····[···]νομενον εὐθὺς̣ τὸ εἶδ[ε]ν ὑποφαίνει κάλλος αλλ···
'God saw that it was good.' And this much of praise must be said: that the very word 'saw' at once suggests beauty in what... but...
「神看著是好的。」關於這稱讚須這樣說：那「看」字本身立時就暗示出所……的美麗，然而……
1:240
···[··]····ενον ἔχει τὴν ἀποδοχὴν ··ερον πα·
...it holds acceptance... rather...
……它獲得悅納……更為……
1:241
···[··]···τιας καὶ τ[ῆς] α̣ν̣αλογίας ἐπ̣αινεῖ ὁρῶν ὅτι καλ···
...he praises for its... and its proportion, seeing that it was good...
……他因其……並其勻稱而稱讚，看出它是好的……
1:242
···οντι ἡ α̣ρετὴ κρ̣ίσις τῶν ···
...to him virtue is a discernment of the...
……對他而言，德行乃是對……的判別。
1:243
τῷ δοκιμάζειν τὰς χρείας καὶ τὰς αἰτίας κ̣αὶ τὰς ··α···
...by testing the uses and the causes and the...
……藉著察驗其用途、其緣由並其……
1:244
ἀ´̣τιμον γὰρ τ̣ο`̣ κατασκευάζεσθαι, – ἔστιν ἰδεῖν μέρη ἕτερα ἄτιμα οἷον τρίχες καὶ τὰ ὅμοια, καὶ οὐδήπου ὁ πόλεως κρίνειν α̣ναλο- γίαν ἐπιστάμενος μέμψαιτο τὸν κατασκευάσαντα ὅτι μετὰ τῶν τετιμημένων καὶ κεκαλλωπισμένων ἐν τῇ πόλει τόπων καὶ εἱρκτὴν καὶ ἄλλα ᾠκοδόμησεν·
For to be constructed is not dishonourable — one may see certain other parts that are lowly, such as hairs and the like, and surely no one who understands how to judge the proportion of a city would blame the builder because, along with the honoured and beautified places in the city, he also built a prison and other such things —
因為被建造成形並非可鄙之事——人可以看見另有些卑微的部分，例如毛髮之類，然而凡懂得衡量城邑之勻稱的人，斷不會因建造者在城中除了那些尊貴華美的處所之外，也建了牢獄和其他這類建築，就責怪他——
1:245
ἕκαστον γὰρ καθ' ἑαυτὸ λαμβανόμενον οὐχ οὕτως ἐστὶ θαυμαστὸν ὡς ὅταν ἀθρόως ἁπάντων ὡς ἐν πόλεως σχήματι δοκιμάσῃ τὴν χρείαν, οὕτω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δημιουργίας, καὶ π[ο]λλῷ [θ]αυμαστό- τερον·
for each thing, taken by itself, is not so wonderful as when, taking all together as in the form of a city, one approves the usefulness; so also in the case of the creation, and much more wonderfully.
因為每一件單獨來看，都不如把一切合起來如同一座城的格局那樣，去察驗其用處時來得奇妙；照樣，在創造的事上也是如此，且更為奇妙得多。
1:246
οὐ γὰρ ἔστιν εἰπεῖν εἰς τί τοῦτο ἢ εἰς τί τοῦτο, πάντα γὰρ εἰς χρείαν αὐτῶν ἔκτισται
For one cannot say for what this is or for what that is, since all things have been created for their own use.
因為人不能說這是為著什麼、那是為著什麼，因萬物都是為著各自的用處而被造的。
1:247
Κ[αὶ] ἐγένετο ἑ[σ]πέρ[α κ]αὶ ἐγένετο πρωΐ, ἡμέρα δευτέρα
'And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.'
「有晚上，有早晨，這是第二日。」
1:248
Ἐπίστασο [ ὥ]ς τινε[ς πε]ιρώμενοι τῶν ἐκτὸς τῆς θεοσεβεία<ς> φασίν·
Know how certain of those outside the fear of God say, by way of testing:
當知道那些在敬虔之外的某些人，是怎樣以試探的口吻說：
1:249
Τί δή[πο]τε, κα[τὰ] ὑμᾶς μήπω τοῦ ἡλίου συστάντος, ἡμέραι εἶναι προείρηνται; Ἔστιν μὲν οὖν εἰπεῖ[ν] πρὸς αὐτο[ὺς] ὅτι ταῦτα πάντα κατὰ ἀναγωγὴν θεωρεῖτ̣α̣ι·
'Why on earth, according to you, are days said to have existed already, when the sun has not yet been constituted?' Now one may say to them that all these things are contemplated by way of an anagogical (spiritual) sense;
「照你們所說，太陽既尚未成形，怎麼倒先說有了日子呢？」對此可以回答他們：這一切都是按著上達的（屬靈）意義來領會的；
1:250
οὐ γὰρ κεκώλυται παρ' α[ὐ]τοῖς ἡ διὰ συμβόλων διδασκαλία̣·
for among them too, teaching by means of symbols is not forbidden;
因為即使在他們中間，藉象徵施行的教導也並非被禁止的；
1:251
ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἀκόλουθον πρὸς αὐτοὺς κινοῦντα καὶ τῷ ῥητῷ σ̣υστῆναι, φέρε ὀλίγα περὶ τούτου διαλάβωμεν
but since it is fitting, in dealing with them, that the point should also stand firm on the literal level, come, let us treat briefly of this.
但既然在應付他們時，這道理也宜於在字面的層次上站得住腳，那麼來吧，讓我們就此稍作論述。
1:252
Ἡ ἡμέρα διχῶς νοεῖται κατά τε τὸ χρονικὸν διάστημα καὶ κατὰ τὸν̣ φωτισμὸν τοῦ περὶ ἡμᾶς ἀέρος
'Day' is understood in two ways: both according to the interval of time and according to the illumination of the air around us.
「日」有兩重意思：其一按著時間的間距，其一按著我們周圍空氣的受光照明。
1:253
Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, τὸ πόσον τῆς ἡμέρας δηλοῦται, οὐχὶ ἡ φαιδρὰ ἢ ζοφερὰ ἡμέρα·
And in 'the third day,' the quantity of the day is signified, not whether the day is bright or gloomy;
在「第三日」一語中，所表明的是日子的分量長度，而非那日是明亮還是陰暗；
1:254
ὅταν δέ τις λέγῃ ὅτι ζοφώδης ἐστὶν ἡ σήμερον ἡμέρα, οὐκ εἰς τὸ πόσον αὐτῆς βλέπων τοῦτ' ἐρεῖ
but when someone says that today is a gloomy day, he does not say this looking to its quantity.
然而當有人說今天是陰沉的一日時，他這樣說並非著眼於它的分量長度。
1:255
Ἐὰν οὖν ὁ θεῖος λόγος λέγῃ πρώτην καὶ δευτέραν καὶ τρίτην ἡμέραν πρὸ γε̣νέσεως ἡλίου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων φωστήρων ὑφεστάναι, εἰς τὸ πόσον τοῦ χρονικοῦ διαστήματος δεῖ σκοπεῖν, καὶ λεκτέον τῷ ἐπαποροῦντι τῇ θεί[α̣] γραφῇ ὅτι ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ δύο ὡσανεὶ ὧραι γεγένη<ν>ται μετὰ τὴν κτίσιν τοῦ στερεώματος οὔπω τῶν φωστήρων γεγενη- μένων, καὶ οὐδὲν θ̣α̣υ̣μαστόν·
If, then, the divine word says that a first and a second and a third day existed before the coming-to-be of the sun and the other luminaries, one must look to the quantity of the temporal interval; and to the one who is perplexed at the divine Scripture it must be said that seventy-two hours, as it were, came to pass after the creation of the firmament, when the luminaries had not yet been made — and this is nothing to marvel at;
所以，神聖的話語若說在太陽及其餘發光體生成之先，已有頭一日、第二日、第三日存在，就當著眼於時間間距的分量；並要對那對神聖經文感到困惑的人說：在穹蒼受造之後、發光體尚未造成之時，彷彿已經過了七十二小時，這並不足為奇；
1:256
οὐδὲ γὰρ ποιητικὸς ὁ ἥλιος τῆς ἡμέρας ἀλλὰ σ̣ημ̣αντικὸς ὑπάρχει, ἐπεὶ μηδὲ τὰ κατασκευαζόμενα μηχανικῶς μέτρα τῶν ὡρῶν ποιητικά τις αὐτῶν ἀλλὰ σημαντικὰ ἐρεῖ
for the sun is not the producer of the day but its signifier, since one would say that instruments mechanically constructed to measure the hours are not the producers of those hours but their indicators.
因為太陽並非日子的製造者，乃是日子的表徵者，正如人會說那些機械製造用來計量時辰的器具，並非那些時辰的製造者，乃是其標示者。
1:257
Σημαίνουσιν οὖν τοὺς χρόνους ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη καὶ οὐ ποιοῦσιν
The sun, then, and the moon signify the seasons, and do not make them.
如此，太陽與月亮乃是標示時節，而非製造時節。
1:258
Ἕτερον δὲ τὸ σημαίνειν παρὰ τὸ ποιεῖν, ὥστε οὐδὲν ἄτοπον διάστημα τοσοῦτον προϋφεστάναι τῆς τοῦ ἡλίου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων φωστήρω[ν] δημι[ο]υργίας, ὅ, εἰ ὑπῆρχέν τι̣ σ̣ημαῖνον, τριῶν ἡμερῶ[ν] ἐ[γ]ένετ[ο] διάστημα
And to signify is a different thing from to make; so that there is nothing absurd in so great an interval having existed beforehand, prior to the creation of the sun and the other luminaries — an interval which, if there had been anything to signify it, would have amounted to a span of three days.
而「表徵」與「製造」乃是不同的事；因此，在太陽及其餘發光體受造之先，先有這麼長的一段間距存在，並無任何荒謬——這段間距，若有什麼能標示它，便構成了三日的時距。
1:259
Συναχθήτω τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ὑπ[ο]κάτω τ[οῦ] οὐρανοῦ εἰς συναγωγὴν μίαν καὶ ὀφθήτω ἡ ξηρά
'Let the water that is under the heaven be gathered together into one gathering, and let the dry land appear.'
「天下的水要聚在一處，使旱地露出來。」
1:260
Τὸ εἰπεῖν τὸν Θεὸν ὁμοίως ἐκλαμβάνομεν τοῖς φθάσασιν, ὅτε ἐλέγετο καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεός·
We understand this saying of God in the same way as those that came before, when it was said 'and God said':
我們理解神這句話，與前面那些話語一樣，就是當那時說「神說」：
1:261
Γενηθήτω φῶ[ς] καὶ γενη[θ]ήτω στερέωμα
'Let there be light' and 'Let there be a firmament.'
「要有光」以及「要有穹蒼」。
1:262
Εἴη δὲ καὶ τοῦ ἐκκειμένου κεφαλαίου ἡ ῥ[η]τὴ διήγησις ἥδε·
And let the literal exposition of the section set forth be this:
願所擺出這一段落的字面講解如下：
1:263
οὐ πᾶν ὕδωρ ἀλλὰ τὸ ὑποκάτω το̣ῦ οὐρανοῦ προστάττει Θεὸς εἰς μίαν συναχθῆναι συναγωγήν·
God commands, not all water, but the water beneath the heaven, to be gathered into one gathering;
神所吩咐的，並非一切的水，乃是天以下的水，要聚集成一處；
1:264
εἴρηται γὰρ ὅτι τὸ στερέωμα γέγονεν ἐμμέσῳ τῶν ὑδάτων, ὡς τὸ μὲν τοῦ ὕδατος ἄνω ἀπομεῖναι, το`̣ δὲ κάτω
for it has been said that the firmament came to be in the midst of the waters, so that part of the water remained above and part below.
因為經上已說穹蒼是造在眾水之間，以致那水一部分留在上面，一部分留在下面。
1:265
Τὸ χρησιμὸν δὲ τῆς προστάξεως δηλοῖ διὰ τοῦ φάναι καὶ ὀφθήτω ἡ ξηρά·
And the usefulness of the command he makes clear by saying 'and let the dry land appear';
而這吩咐的用處，他藉著說「使旱地露出來」而顯明；
1:266
ἐπικειμένων γὰρ τῶν ὑδά- των αὐτὴ κέκρυπται, οὕτω δὲ ἔχουσα ἀνεπιτηδείως εἶχεν πρὸς γένεσιν φυτῶν καὶ ζῴων
for while the waters lay upon it, it was hidden, and being in such a state it was ill-suited for the coming-to-be of plants and living creatures.
因為當眾水覆蓋在它之上時，它便隱藏著，處於這樣的狀態，就不宜於植物與生物的生長。
1:267
Συνήχθη τὸ ὕδωρ εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν. Καὶ ἄλλο μέν, ὡς ἂν εἴποι τις, ἐστὶν τὸ ἐν τῇ προστάξει, ἕτερον δὲ τὸ ἐν τῇ τελεσιουργίᾳ·
'The water was gathered together into their gatherings.' And the thing in the command is one, as one might say, but the thing in the accomplishment is another;
「水便聚在它們的聚集之處。」正如人所能說的，那存於吩咐中的是一回事，那存於成就中的又是另一回事；
1:268
εἰς γὰρ μίαν συναγωγὴν διείρηται τὸ πᾶν συναχθῆναι ὕδωρ, ἡ δὲ ἀντα- πόδοσίς φησιν εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν [σ]υνῆχθαι τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ οὕτως ὦφθαι τὴν ξηράν
for all the water was ordered to be gathered into one gathering, but the corresponding statement says that the water was gathered 'into their gatherings,' and that thus the dry land appeared.
因為所吩咐的是一切的水要聚成一處，但相應的敘述卻說水是聚集「到它們的聚集之處」，並如此使旱地露了出來。
1:269
Ἀποκατασταθή[σε]ται δὲ τὸ ὡσανεὶ διάφωνον ὑπ̣ὸ τοῦ προισταμένου τῆς ἱ[σ]τορίας οὕτως
But this seeming discrepancy will be set right by the one who presides over the narrative in this way.
但這看似不一致之處，將由那主掌這記載的人如此加以調和。
1:270
Μία θάλασσά ἐστιν ὁ ὠκεανὸς περιέχουσα τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην·
There is one sea, the ocean, which encompasses the whole inhabited world;
海只有一個，就是那環繞整個人所居之地的大洋；
