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.

ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

1:834

τοῦ γὰρ οἴνου παντελῶς οὐ μετελάμβανεν

for of wine she partook not at all.

至於酒，她則完全滴酒不沾。

1:835

Ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἑορταῖς μετελάμβανεν καὶ ἐλαίου καὶ ἐλαίας ἤσθιεν, οὐδὲν δὲ ἄλλο τῶν διὰ πυρὸς γινομένων ἐγεύετο·

But on feast days she also partook of oil, and ate olives, but tasted nothing else of things cooked by fire;

但在節期，她也用油，並吃橄欖，此外凡經火烹煮之物她一概不嚐；

1:836

ἐν δὲ τῇ τεσσαρακοστῇ τῶν νηστειῶν τὰς πάσας ἡμέρας διὰ δύο ἤσθιεν βρεκτὰ ὄσπρια ἢ λεπτολάχανα ἄνευ ἄρτου·

and during the forty days of the fasts she ate, every other day, soaked pulse or light vegetables without bread;

在四旬齋的四十天裡，她每隔一天才進食一次，只吃泡發的豆類或清淡蔬菜，不吃麵包；

1:837

τὴν δὲ ἁγίαν πασχαλίαν πᾶσαν εἷλκεν τὴν ἑβδομάδα, μηδενὸς μεταλαμβάνουσα, εἰ μὴ τῇ ἁγίᾳ πέμπτῃ, μετὰ τὴν ἁγίαν κοινωνίαν, ὕδατος θερμοῦ

and throughout the whole week of holy Pascha she persevered in fasting, partaking of nothing, except on Holy Thursday, after the holy communion, [she partook] of warm water.

在整個聖復活節周內，她持續禁食，什麼也不吃，唯獨在聖週四領受聖餐之後，才飲一點溫水。

1:838

Καὶ τοσοῦτον κατέτηξεν αὐτῆς τὸ σῶμα ὡς νομίζειν τοὺς ὁρῶντας αὐτὴν σκιὰν θεωρεῖν

And she so wasted her body away that those who saw her thought they beheld a mere shadow.

她的身體因此消瘦到了極點，以致見到她的人都以為自己看見的只是一個影子。

1:839

Ἐγένετο δὲ ὑπόδειγμα καὶ ἄλλαις πολλαῖς·

And she became an example also to many other women;

她也成了許多其他女子的榜樣；

1:840

ἐζήλωσαν γὰρ τὸν βίον καὶ τὴν πολιτείαν τῆς ἁγίας κόρης Σαλαφθᾶς, ἥτις ἕως τοῦ νῦν δοκεῖ ζῆν·

for they emulated the life and conduct of the holy girl Salaphtha, who to this day is said still to be alive.

因為她們紛紛效法這位聖潔女子撒拉弗妲的生活與品行——據說她直到如今仍然在世。

1:841

νενέκρωται γὰρ τῷ κόσμῳ, τῷ δὲ Χριστῷ ζῇ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ ἐστι διὰ παντός·

for she has died to the world, but lives to Christ and is with him always;

因為她已向世界死了，卻活在基督裡，並且常與祂同在；

1:842

ἧς τῶν ἁγίων εὐχῶν μέρος ἔχωμεν

of whose holy prayers may we have a share.

願我們在她的聖潔禱告中也有一份。

1:843

Καὶ ταῦτα μὲν περὶ τῆς ὁσίας κόρης Σαλαφθᾶς εἰρήσθω

Let this much, then, be said concerning the devout maiden Salaphtha.

關於虔敬的少女撒拉弗塔，就說到這裡為止。

1:844

Ὁ δὲ μακαριώτατος ἐπίσκοπος Πορφύριος, καταστήσας τόν τε ἐκκλησιαστικὸν κανόνα καὶ τὴν πᾶσαν ἀκολουθίαν, ἐπιζήσας ἄλλα ὀλίγα ἔτη μετὰ τὸ ἁγιάσαι τὴν μεγάλην ἐκκλησίαν, περιπεσὼν ἀρρωστίᾳ διετύπωσεν εὐσεβῆ διαθήκην, ληγατεύσας πολλούς·

Now the most blessed bishop Porphyry, having established the ecclesiastical canon and the whole order of service, and having lived a few more years after consecrating the great church, fell into illness and drew up a pious testament, bequeathing legacies to many;

至福的主教波菲利，既已制定了教會法規與全部禮儀次序，在祝聖大教堂之後又活了幾年，遭遇疾病，便立下一份虔誠的遺囑，遺贈給許多人；

1:845

καὶ παραθέμενος πάντας τοὺς τοῦ φιλοχρίστου λαοῦ τῷ θεῷ, ἐν εἰρήνῃ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων, μηνὶ Δύστρῳ δευτέρᾳ ἔτους κατὰ Γαζαίους ὀγδοηκοστοῦ τετρακοσιοστοῦ, ἐπισκοπήσας ἔτη ˉκˉδ καὶ μῆνας ˉιˉα καὶ ἡμέρας ˉη, τὸν καλὸν ἀγῶνα τετελεκὼς πρὸς τοὺς εἰδωλομανεῖς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας τῆς κοιμήσεως αὐτοῦ

and having commended all the Christ-loving people to God, he fell asleep in peace with the saints, on the second day of the month Dystros, in the year four hundred and eighty according to the era of the Gazans, having been bishop twenty-four years, eleven months, and eight days, having finished the good contest against the idol-mad even to the day of his falling asleep.

並將所有愛基督的百姓都託付於神，在平安中與眾聖徒一同安息了，時值迪斯特羅月（Dystros）二日，迦薩紀元第四百八十年，任主教之職二十四年十一個月零八日，直到他安息之日，與那些瘋狂拜偶像之人的美好爭戰已然完成。

1:846

Καὶ νῦν ἔστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τῆς τρυφῆς, πρεσβεύων μετὰ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ὧν ταῖς εὐχαῖς ἐλεήσῃ ἡμᾶς ὁ πατὴρ καὶ θεὸς σὺν υἱῷ καὶ ἁγίῳ πνεύματι, ᾧ ἡ δόξα καὶ τὸ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων

And now he is in the paradise of delight, interceding together with all the saints on our behalf; by whose prayers may the Father and God have mercy upon us, together with the Son and the Holy Spirit, to whom be glory and dominion unto ages of ages.

如今他身在極樂的樂園中，與眾聖徒一同為我們代求；願藉著他們的禱告，父神連同聖子與聖靈一同憐憫我們；願榮耀與權能都歸於祂，直到永永遠遠。
