64:217
Sedens aduersus fratrem tuum detrahebas, et aduersus filium matris tuae ponebas scandalum. haec fecisti, et tacui: aestimasti iniquitatem quod ero tibi similis. arguam te et statuam illa contra faciem tuam. Item in psalmo C : Detrahentem adnenras proximum suum occulte, hunc persequebar. Item in psalmo LXX: Confundantur et deficiant detrahentes animae meae. Item in prouerbiis: Noli diligere detrahere, ne eradiceris. adaperi autem oculos tuos, et iusta uidebis. Item in sapientia: Gustodite ergo uos a murmuratione, quae nihil prodeest, et a detractione parcite linguae: quoniam responsum obscurum in uacuum non ibit, os autem, quod mentitur, occidit animam.. Item iacobus apostolus:
You sat and spoke against your brother, and against your mother's son you laid a stumbling-block. These things you did, and I kept silence; you thought, wickedly, that I would be like you. I will reprove you, and set these things before your face. Likewise in Psalm 100: Him who secretly slandered his neighbor, I persecuted. Likewise in Psalm 70: Let those who slander my soul be confounded and fail. Likewise in Proverbs: Do not love to slander, lest you be uprooted; but open your eyes, and you shall see just things. Likewise in Wisdom: Keep yourselves therefore from murmuring, which profits nothing, and refrain your tongue from slander; for no secret word shall go forth in vain, and the mouth that lies slays the soul. Likewise the Apostle James:
你坐著毀謗你的弟兄，讒害你親母之子。你行了這些事，我卻閉口不言；你就以為我與你一樣。其實我要責備你，將這些事擺在你眼前。又在《詩篇》第一百篇：那暗中毀謗鄰舍的，我必將他滅絕。又在《詩篇》第七十篇：願那些毀謗我性命的，抱愧滅亡。又在《箴言》中：不要喜愛毀謗，免得你被連根拔起；當睜開你的眼，看見公義的事。又在《智訓》中：所以你們要防備怨言，那是毫無益處的；也要禁止舌頭免於毀謗；因為隱密的話決不徒然發出，說謊的口能殺害靈魂。又如使徒雅各：
64:218
Fratres, nolite uobis detrahere. qui enim uituperat fratrem suum et iudicat, legem uituperat et iudicat. si legem iudicas, iam non factor legis, sed iudex es. unus est enim legum dator et iudex, qui potest saluare et perdere. tu antem quis es qui iadicaB proximum ? Item in psalmo C : Qui loquitur iniqua, non direxit in conspectu coalonim meoram . in matutinis interficiebam omnes peedatores terrae, ut disperdam eos de ciuitate domini, omnes. qui operantur iniquitatem. XXXII. DE CORREPTIONE ET DISCIPLINA. In psalmo II: Continete disciplinam, ne quando irascatur dominus, et pereatis a uia recta, cum exarserit in breui ira eius. Item in prouerbiis: Argue sapientem, et amabit te:
Brethren, do not slander one another. For he who reviles his brother and judges him, reviles the law and judges it. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is one lawgiver and judge, who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you that judge your neighbor? Likewise in Psalm 100: He who speaks iniquities has not prospered in the sight of my eyes. In the mornings I slew all the sinners of the land, that I might cut off from the city of the Lord all who work iniquity. 32. ON CORRECTION AND DISCIPLINE. In Psalm 2: Hold fast to discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the right way, when his anger is quickly kindled. Likewise in Proverbs: Reprove a wise man, and he will love you;
弟兄們，你們不可彼此毀謗。那批評弟兄、論斷弟兄的，就是批評律法、論斷律法。你若論斷律法，就不是遵行律法的，乃是判斷律法的。設立律法和判斷人的只有一位，就是那能救人也能滅人的。你是誰，竟敢論斷你的鄰舍呢？又在《詩篇》第一百篇：說邪惡的，在我眼前必站立不住。我每早晨要滅絕地上所有的罪人，好把一切作孽的從上主的城裡剪除。三十二、論責備與管教。在《詩篇》第二篇：當持守管教，免得上主發怒，你們便在正道上滅亡，因為祂的怒氣快要發作。又在《箴言》中：責備智慧人，他必愛你；
64:219
insipientem, et adiciet odisse te. Item illic: Da sapienti occasionem, et sapientior erit: notum fac iusto, et adiciet percipere. Item illic: Qui diligit disciplinam, diligit sensum; nam qui odit arguentes se stultus est Item illic: Non diligit indisciplinatus arguentes se, cum sapientibus autem non conloquitur. Item illic: Qui repellit disci- plinam, odit semet ipsum: nam qui seruat obiurgationem, adquirit prudentiam. Item illic: Timor domini disciplina et sapientia. Item illic: Qui excipit disciplinam, in bonis erit: nam qui custodit increpationes, sapiens fiet. Item illic: Pestifero castigato insipiens astutior fit: si autem arguas uirum prudentem, intelleget sensum. Item illic:
a fool, and he will only add to hate you. Likewise there: Give a wise man an occasion, and he will be the wiser; make it known to the just man, and he will add to his understanding. Likewise there: He who loves discipline loves understanding; but he who hates those who reprove him is a fool. Likewise there: The undisciplined man does not love those who reprove him, nor does he confer with the wise. Likewise there: He who casts off discipline hates his own self; but he who keeps rebuke acquires prudence. Likewise there: The fear of the Lord is discipline and wisdom. Likewise there: He who receives discipline shall be among good things; for he who keeps reproofs shall become wise. Likewise there: When a pestilent man is chastised, the fool becomes more shrewd; but if you reprove a prudent man, he will understand knowledge. Likewise there:
責備愚昧人，他只會愈發恨你。又在那裡：給智慧人機會，他就更有智慧；指教義人，他必增長見識。又在那裡：喜愛管教的，就是喜愛知識；恨惡責備的，卻是愚昧人。又在那裡：無教養的人不愛責備他的人，也不與智慧人來往。又在那裡：棄絕管教的，是輕看自己的性命；聽從責備的，卻得智慧。又在那裡：敬畏上主就是管教與智慧。又在那裡：領受管教的，必在福分之中；謹守責備的，必成為智慧人。又在那裡：懲罰褻慢人，愚蒙人就變得精明；責備聰明人，他就明白知識。又在那裡：
64:220
Da in disciplina cor tuum, et aures tuas para uerbis prudentiae. Item illic: Indisciplinatis obuiat mors, moritur autem insipiens peccatis. Item illic: Si flagellaueris stultum in medio concilio contumeliam faciendo, non auferes stultitiam eius. Item illic: Melior est uir arguens quam uir dura ceruice: subito enim ardenti illi non erit sanitas. Item illic: Qui arguit hominem uias suas, gratiam habebit magis quam qui adulatur. Item illic: Plagae et increpationes dant sapientiam: puer autem errans confundit patrem. Item in libro sapientiae: Sapientiam enim et disciplinam qui abicit, infelix est: et uacua est spes illorum, et labores eorum sine fructu, et inutilia sunt opera illorum.
Apply your heart to discipline, and prepare your ears to the words of prudence. Likewise there: Death meets the undisciplined, and the fool dies in his sins. Likewise there: Though you flog a fool in the midst of the assembly, heaping shame on him, you will not take away his folly. Likewise there: Better is a man who reproves than a man who is stiff-necked; for suddenly, when he is inflamed, there will be no healing for him. Likewise there: He who reproves a man's ways shall find favor more than he who flatters. Likewise there: Stripes and rebukes give wisdom; but a boy left to wander shames his father. Likewise in the book of Wisdom: For he who casts away wisdom and discipline is unhappy; their hope is empty, and their labors without fruit, and their works useless.
要專心於管教，側耳聽從明智的言語。又在那裡：死亡臨到無教養的人，愚昧人死於自己的罪中。又在那裡：你在會中鞭打愚昧人，加以羞辱，仍不能除掉他的愚妄。又在那裡：責備人的，勝過硬著頸項的人；因為他一旦激怒，忽然就無醫治了。又在那裡：責備人行為的，比諂媚人的更得恩寵。又在那裡：鞭傷與責備能賜智慧；放縱的孩子卻使父親蒙羞。又在《智訓》一書中：藐視智慧與管教的，是有禍的；他們的指望是虛空的，勞碌毫無果效，工作也是徒然。
64:221
Item illic: Magna enim sunt iudicia tua et inenarrabilia: propter hoc indisciplinatae animae errauerunt. Item in ecclesiastico: Qui gaudet iniquitate, denotabitur: et qui odit correptionem, minuitur uita. Item illic: Corripe proximum ante quam conmineris, et da locum timori altissimi. Item illic: Quam bonum est arguere quam irasci, et confitentem in oratione non prohibere! Item illic: Viro indisciplinato est inuentio in detrimentum. Item illic: Qoi odit correptionem, uestigium est peccatoris: et qui timent doaamua , conaertent ad cor aruum. Item in hieremia propheta: Sine causa percussi filios uestros, disciplinam non recepistis. Item illic : Haec dicit idominas ;:
Likewise there: For your judgments are great and unspeakable; therefore undisciplined souls have gone astray. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: He who rejoices in iniquity shall be branded; and he who hates correction, his life is shortened. Likewise there: Reprove your neighbor before you threaten him, and give place to the fear of the Most High. Likewise there: How good it is to reprove rather than to be angry, and not to forbid one who confesses in prayer! Likewise there: For the undisciplined man, discovery turns to his loss. Likewise there: He who hates correction is a sinner's footprint; but those who fear the Lord will turn to their own heart. Likewise in the prophet Jeremiah: In vain have I smitten your children; you have not received discipline. Likewise there: Thus says the Lord:
又在那裡：你的判斷極大，難以述說；因此無教養的靈魂都走迷了路。又在《德訓篇》中：以罪孽為樂的，必被烙印為記；恨惡責備的，壽數必減少。又在那裡：在恐嚇鄰舍之先，當先責備他，給至高者的敬畏留地步。又在那裡：責備勝於發怒，何等美善；也不當攔阻在禱告中認罪的人！又在那裡：對無教養的人，發現真相反成他的虧損。又在那裡：恨惡責備的，是罪人的腳蹤；敬畏上主的，必回轉歸向自己的心。又在先知耶利米書中：我責打你們的兒女是徒然的，你們不受管教。又在那裡：上主如此說：
64:222
haec gens, quae non axtdimt uocem domini neque exasperant disciplinam, dofecit fides de ore ipsorum. Item in amos propheta: Odie habuerunt arguentem in portis, et uerbum aequissimum abominati sunt. Item iob: Beatus homo, quam arguet dominus, quia correptio omnipotentis dei salus est Item in ezechihel propheta: Domus israhel nolunt audire te, quia nolunt audire me: quia uniuersa domus israhel conteotiosi sunt et duro corde. Item apostolus ad galata-s: Sic stulti estis? cum spiritu coeperitis, nunc carne. perficiemini? Item ad thessalonicensea I: Corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillianimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes. estote ad omnes. Item ad timotheum I:
This nation, which does not hear the voice of the Lord nor accept discipline, faith has failed from their mouth. Likewise in the prophet Amos: They hated him who reproved in the gates, and abhorred the most upright word. Likewise Job: Blessed is the man whom the Lord reproves; for the correction of God almighty is salvation. Likewise in the prophet Ezekiel: The house of Israel are unwilling to hear you, because they are unwilling to hear me; for the whole house of Israel are contentious and hard of heart. Likewise the Apostle to the Galatians: Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, will you now be made perfect in the flesh? Likewise to the Thessalonians, First: Rebuke the disorderly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient toward all. Likewise to Timothy, First:
這不聽從上主聲音、不肯接受管教的國民，信實已從他們口中斷絕。又在先知阿摩司書中：他們恨惡那在城門口責備人的，憎厭說正直話的人。又如《約伯記》：神所責備的人是有福的，因為全能之神的責備是拯救。又在先知以西結書中：以色列家不肯聽你，因為他們不肯聽我；因為以色列全家都是強硬、心裡剛硬的。又如使徒致加拉太人書：你們是這樣的無知嗎？既靠聖靈入門，如今還靠肉體成全嗎？又致帖撒羅尼迦人前書：要責備不守規矩的，勉勵灰心的，扶助軟弱的，向眾人忍耐。又致提摩太前書：
64:223
Insta oportune, inportonos argue, exhortare, increpa, in omni patientia et doctrina. XXXIII. DE PRAEVARICATORIBVS. InpsalmoC : Facientes praeuaricationes odiui: non adhesit mihi cor prauum. Item in prouerbiis: Sicut canis cum conuertitur ad uomitum suum odibilis efficitur, sic stultus malitia sua conuersus in peccatis suis. Item in ecclesiastico: Initium superbiae hominis apostatare a deo: quoniam initium peccati omnis superbia. Item illic: ln duobus timuit cor meum, et in tertio iracundia mihi aduenit: uir bellator deficiens per inopiam, uir sensutus contemptus: et qui transgreditur a iustitia in peccatum, deus parat eum ad romphaeam. Item in esaia propheta:
Be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, exhort, rebuke, with all patience and doctrine. 33. ON TRANSGRESSORS. In Psalm 100: I have hated those who commit transgressions; no perverse heart has clung to me. Likewise in Proverbs: As a dog which returns to its own vomit becomes loathsome, so is the fool turned back by his own malice into his sins. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: The beginning of man's pride is to fall away from God; for the beginning of all sin is pride. Likewise there: At two things my heart was afraid, and at the third indignation came upon me: a warrior failing through want, and a man of sense despised; and one who turns from justice to sin — God prepares him for the sword. Likewise in the prophet Isaiah:
務要傳道，無論得時不得時，總要專心；並用百般的忍耐與教訓責備人、警戒人、勸勉人。三十三、論悖逆者。在《詩篇》第一百篇：作惡犯法的，我都恨惡；乖僻的心不能與我相近。又在《箴言》中：狗轉過來吃自己所吐的，就成為可憎；愚昧人因自己的惡也照樣轉回自己的罪中。又在《德訓篇》中：人驕傲的開端是離棄神；因為一切罪的開端就是驕傲。又在那裡：有兩件事使我心中懼怕，第三件使我忿恨臨身：因缺乏而衰敗的勇士，被藐視的有識之士；還有那從公義轉入罪中的人——神已預備刀劍對付他。又在先知以賽亞書中：
64:224
Vae fili apostatae, haec dicit dominus: fecistis consilium non per me, et pactum non per spiritum meum, adponendo peccata super peccata. Item illic: Et exibunt sancti, et uidebunt membra hominum, qui praeuaricati sunt in me: uermis enim eorum non morietur, et ignis eorum non extinguetur, et erunt in aspectu omni carni. Item in ezechiel propheta: Si diriget, si liberabitur qui facit aduersa? ita et qui praeterit testamentum saluus erit? Item illic: Et eligam ex uobis impios uestros et desertores, quoniam ex incolatu eorum educam illos: in terram israhel non intrabunt: et cognoscetis quia ego sum dominus. Item in osee propheta: Vae illis, quoniam exierunt a me:
Woe, apostate sons, says the Lord; you have taken counsel not by me, and made a covenant not by my Spirit, heaping sins upon sins. Likewise there: And the holy ones shall go forth, and shall look upon the limbs of the men who have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh. Likewise in the prophet Ezekiel: If he prosper, shall he who does adverse things be delivered? So too, shall he who transgresses the covenant be saved? Likewise there: And I will choose out from among you your impious ones and deserters, for I will lead them out from their sojourning; they shall not enter into the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord. Likewise in the prophet Hosea: Woe to them, because they have departed from me:
上主說：悖逆的兒女啊，你們有禍了！你們定計卻不由我，結盟卻不憑我的靈，以致罪上加罪。又在那裡：聖徒必出去，觀看那些干犯我之人的屍身；因為他們的蟲是不死的，他們的火是不滅的，凡有血氣的都必憎惡他們。又在先知以西結書中：他若亨通，行惡的豈能得救？照樣，違背盟約的豈能存活？又在那裡：我必從你們中間分別出那些不敬虔的和背叛的，因為我要把他們從寄居之地領出來；他們必不得進入以色列地；你們就知道我是上主。又在先知何西阿書中：他們有禍了！因為他們離開了我：
64:225
manifesti sunt, quia peccauerunt in me, et non clamauerunt ad me cordibus suis. Item in epistula petri apostoli II: Melius enim erat illis non cognouisse uiam ueritatis quam post notionem iustitiae apostatare a diuino sibi tradito mandato. contigit illis res uulgaris: sicut canis reuertens ad uomitum suum, et ut sues lota, quae in uolutatione sua coinquinata est. Item in epistula iudae apostoli: Angelos quoque, qui non serua- uerunt ordinem suum, se reliquerunt habitaculum auum; in iudicium magni dei uioculis eos sanctonmi angeiorum mb .
they are made manifest, because they have sinned against me, and they have not cried out to me with their hearts. Likewise in the Second Epistle of the Apostle Peter: For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of truth, than after knowing justice to fall away from the divine commandment delivered to them. There has befallen them the common saying: As a dog returning to its own vomit, and as a washed sow which is defiled again in her wallowing. Likewise in the Epistle of the Apostle Jude: The angels also, who did not keep their own rank, but left their own dwelling, he has reserved in the judgment of the great God, in chains of the holy angels,
他們的罪已顯明，因為他們得罪了我，卻沒有一心向我呼求。又在使徒彼得後書中：他們曉得義路，竟背棄了所傳給他們的神聖誡命，這樣倒不如不曉得為妙。俗語說得真不錯，發生在他們身上：狗轉過來吃自己所吐的；豬洗淨了又回到泥裡去滾。又在使徒猶大書中：又有天使不守本位，離開自己的住處，主就用鎖鏈把他們留在大神審判之下的黑暗裡，交由聖天使看守，
64:226
tenebras reseruabii sodomam autem quoque et gomerram et quae oirea eas ciuitates, cum adulterium fecissent et carnem secutae assent , ciuis factae propositae sunt in exemplo igms aeterni poenas sustinentes. Item in numeris : Exurge, domine, et dispargantur inimici tui, et fugiant omnes qui oderunt te, ei confriagantur : et coPUerte , domine, in milia iarahel . XXXIIII. DE SVPERBIA. In psalmo XXX: Et retribuet his qui abundanter faciunt superbiam. Item in psalmo LXXII: Propterea obtinuit cos superbia eorum: prodiuit quasi ex adipe iniquitas eorum. Item in psalmo G: Non habitant in medio domus meae qui faciunt superbiam. Item in psalmo CXVIII: Superbi inique gerebant usquequaque.
reserving them for darkness. Sodom too, and Gomorrah, and the cities round about them, when they had committed fornication and gone after flesh, were set forth as an example, made citizens of that state, suffering the punishment of eternal fire. Likewise in Numbers: Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let all who hate you flee, and be broken to pieces; and turn back, O Lord, unto the thousands of Israel. 34. ON PRIDE. In Psalm 30: And he will repay those who act with abounding pride. Likewise in Psalm 72: Therefore their pride has taken hold of them; their iniquity has come forth as though from fatness. Likewise in Psalm 100: Those who act with pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house. Likewise in Psalm 118: The proud acted unjustly on every side.
直等到那日。所多瑪、蛾摩拉和周圍的城邑，也照樣行了淫亂、隨從肉體的邪情，就作了鑑戒，成為那境況的居民，受永火的刑罰。又在《民數記》中：上主啊，求你興起，願你的仇敵四散，願恨你的都逃跑、被打碎；上主啊，求你歸回以色列的千萬人中。三十四、論驕傲。在《詩篇》第三十篇：祂必報應那大行驕傲的人。又在《詩篇》第七十二篇：所以，驕傲如鏈子戴在他們項上；他們的罪孽彷彿從肥胖中冒出。又在《詩篇》第一百篇：行驕傲的，必不得住在我家中。又在《詩篇》第一百十八篇：驕傲人時常任意行不義。
64:227
Item in prouerbiis: Dominus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam. Item illic: Qui custodit os suum, seruat animam suam: nam qui proteruus est labiis, terrebit semet ipsum. Item illic: Domos superborum destruet dominus. Item illic: Inmundus aput dominum omnis qui exaltat cor suum. Item illic: Filius malus superbos oculos habet, palpebris autem suis extollitur. Item illic: Temerarius et superbus pestilentia uocatur. Item illic: Noli superbire ante conspectum regis, neque in locis potentium subsistas. melius est enim tibi dici: ascende ad me, quam humiliari in conspectu potentis. Item in ecclesiastico: Odibilis coram deo et hominibus superbia. Item illic:
Likewise in Proverbs: The Lord resists the proud, but to the humble he gives grace. Likewise there: He who guards his mouth keeps his soul; but he who is rash with his lips shall terrify his own self. Likewise there: The Lord will destroy the houses of the proud. Likewise there: Everyone who exalts his heart is unclean before the Lord. Likewise there: An evil son has proud eyes, and is lifted up in his eyelids. Likewise there: The rash and the proud man is called a pestilence. Likewise there: Do not be proud before the face of the king, nor stand in the places of the powerful; for it is better for you to be told, 'Come up to me,' than to be humbled in the presence of the powerful. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: Pride is hateful before God and men. Likewise there:
又在《箴言》中：上主抵擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。又在那裡：謹守口的，保全生命；口出狂言的，必致敗亡。又在那裡：上主必拆毀驕傲人的家。又在那裡：凡心裡高傲的，都為上主所憎惡。又在那裡：惡子眼目高傲，眼皮揚起。又在那裡：狂傲驕橫的人，名叫瘟疫。又在那裡：不要在王面前妄自尊大，也不要站在大人的位上；因寧可有人對你說「請上座」，強如在你所見的貴人面前受屈辱。又在《德訓篇》中：驕傲在神和人面前都是可憎的。又在那裡：
64:228
Et quid superbit terra et cinis? Item illic: Synagogae superborum non erit sanitas : frutex enim peccati radicabitur in illis. Item illic: Initium superbiae hominis apostatare a deo: quia initium peccati omnis superbia. sedes ducum superborum detraxit dominus, et sedere fecit mites pro illis. radices gentium superbarum arefecit dominus, et plantauit humiles ex ipsis gentibus. perdidit dominus memoriam superborum, et reliquit memoriam humilium sensu. non est creata hominibus superbia, neque iracundia nationi mulierum. Item illic: Qui tetigerit picem, inquinabitur ab ea: et qui communicat superbo, induet superbiam. Item illic: Domus, quae nimie locuples est, adnullabitur superbia.
And why is earth and ashes proud? Likewise there: For the assembly of the proud there shall be no healing; for the shrub of sin shall take root in them. Likewise there: The beginning of man's pride is to fall away from God, for the beginning of all sin is pride. The Lord has cast down the thrones of proud rulers, and set the meek in their place. The Lord has dried up the roots of proud nations, and has planted the humble from among those same nations. The Lord has destroyed the memory of the proud, and left the memory of the humble in mind. Pride was not created for men, nor wrath for the race of women. Likewise there: He who touches pitch shall be defiled by it; and he who keeps company with a proud man shall put on pride. Likewise there: A house that is exceedingly rich shall be brought to nothing by pride.
塵土與灰燼，為何驕傲呢？又在那裡：驕傲人的會眾必無醫治，因為罪的荊叢要在他們中間生根。又在那裡：人驕傲的開端是離棄神，因為一切罪的開端就是驕傲。上主推倒驕傲掌權者的座位，使謙和的人坐在他們的位上。上主枯乾驕傲列國的根，卻從這些國中栽植謙卑的人。上主除滅驕傲人的記念，卻存留謙卑人的記念於心。驕傲原不是為人造的，忿怒也不是為婦女之族造的。又在那裡：摸瀝青的，必被沾污；與驕傲人來往的，必染上驕傲。又在那裡：家中極其富足的，必因驕傲歸於烏有。
64:229
Item in esaia propheta: Omnis autem deficiet iniquus, et peribit superbus, et disperierunt qui inique agunt in maestitia, et qui faciunt peccare homines in sermone. Item illic: Et qui superbi sunt, contumelia conterentur, et humiliabuntur, et cadent excelsi gladio. Item illic: Et contumeliam superborum humiliabo. Item illic: Cessauit superbia et diuitiae impiorum. Item in amos propheta: Quia iurauit dominus per semet ipsum, quia ego abominor omnem superbiam iacob, et regiones illius odiui. Item in amba- cum: Iustus autem ea fide mea uiuit: sibi placeas autem, contemptor et uir superbus nihil proficiet. Item in deuteronomio:
Likewise in the prophet Isaiah: But every unjust one shall fail, and the proud shall perish, and those who do iniquity in sorrow shall be destroyed, and those who cause men to sin by their word. Likewise there: And those who are proud shall be worn down with reproach, and shall be humbled, and the lofty shall fall by the sword. Likewise there: And I will humble the insolence of the proud. Likewise there: The pride and riches of the impious have ceased. Likewise in the prophet Amos: For the Lord has sworn by himself: I abhor all the pride of Jacob, and I have hated his regions. Likewise in Habakkuk: But the just man lives by my faith; the man well-pleased with himself, however, a scorner and a proud man, shall gain nothing. Likewise in Deuteronomy:
又在先知以賽亞書中：一切不義的必歸於無有，驕傲的必滅亡，行惡憂愁的必被剪除，用言語使人犯罪的也必如此。又在那裡：驕傲的必受辱罵而衰敗，且被降卑，高傲的必倒在刀下。又在那裡：我必挫敗驕傲人的狂傲。又在那裡：惡人的驕傲和財富都止息了。又在先知阿摩司書中：主上主指著自己起誓：我憎惡雅各一切的驕傲，恨惡他的宮殿（境界）。又在《哈巴谷書》中：惟義人因我的信而活；那自以為是、褻慢驕傲的人，卻毫無所成。又在《申命記》中：
64:230
Et omnis quicumque fecerit in superbia, ut non exaudiat sacerdotem qui adetat ministrare in nomine dei sui, aut iudices qui fuerint in diebus iUis , morietar homo ille, et auferetis malum ei israhel : et omnis populus cum audierit, timebit et non faciet iniuBtitiam . Item in iob: Et quia anni dinumerati sunt superbiae, et sic sunt dispositi in aures domini: et cum uidebuntur pacrficari , eueniet illis enersio . quia qui in altis habitat, uidet iniuriam facientem, et humiliat superbos. Item tobi: Propter quod et tu, fili, dilige fratres tuos, et noli superbo corde agere cum filiabus filiarum populi tui: nec accipias quemquam ex his in snbiectione causa inopiae et necessitatis:
And everyone who acts in pride, so as not to hearken to the priest who stands to minister in the name of his God, or to the judges who shall be in those days, that man shall die; and you shall put away the evil from Israel; and all the people, when they hear, shall fear and shall not do wickedness. Likewise in Job: And because the years of his pride are numbered, so are they laid up in the ears of the Lord; and when they seem to be at peace, their overthrow shall come upon them. For he who dwells on high sees the one who does injury, and humbles the proud. Likewise Tobit: For which cause, my son, love your brethren, and do not in the pride of your heart deal harshly with the daughters of the daughters of your people; nor take any of these into subjection for cause of poverty and need:
凡擅敢行事、不聽從那奉自己神的名侍立供職之祭司，或不聽從當日審判官的，那人必被治死；你就把這惡從以色列中除掉；眾百姓聽見都要害怕，不再擅敢行事作惡。又在《約伯記》中：因為驕傲之人的年日是有數的，都陳明在上主的耳中；當他們自以為平安時，傾覆卻要臨到。因為那住在高處的，鑒察行不義的人，並降卑驕傲的人。又如《多俾亞傳》：我兒，因此你要愛你的弟兄，不可心存驕傲，苛待你本族女兒的女兒；也不可因貧窮困乏而收其中任何人為奴僕：
64:231
quoniam in superbia abundat perditio et infidelitas: nec consistit fbrtiter coi gradus in tabulis figitur: quia fructus stellionatus decoloratio et deminutio uitae esi litem in euangelio secundum matthaeum : Vos autem quaoritis in modicis extolli, et de maximis minui. Item illic: Quia quod excelsum est in hominibus, abominatio eat ante dominum. XXXV. DE MANSVETVDINE. In numeris: Et erat moyses mansuetus prae omnibus hominibus, qui sunt super terram. Item in psalmo XXlIIJ : Dulcis et mansuetus dominus: propter hoc legem statuet delinquentibus in uia, dirigat mites in iudicio, docebit mansuetos uias suas. Item in prouerbiia solomonis: Man- suetus uir cordis medicus est:
for in pride there abounds destruction and unfaithfulness; nor does one's footing stand firm which is fixed on shifting planks; for the fruit of deceitful dealing is discoloration and the diminishing of life. Likewise in the Gospel according to Matthew: But you seek to be exalted in small things, and to be diminished in the greatest. Likewise there: For what is lofty among men is an abomination before the Lord. 35. ON MEEKNESS. In Numbers: And Moses was meek above all the men who are upon the earth. Likewise in Psalm 24: The Lord is sweet and meek; therefore he will establish a law for those who err in the way; he will guide the meek in judgment, he will teach the meek his ways. Likewise in the Proverbs of Solomon: A man meek of heart is a physician:
因為驕傲之中充滿敗壞與不忠；立足於搖動之板上的，腳步不能穩固；因為欺詐所結的果子，是變色與生命的減損。又在馬太福音中：你們卻求在小事上高升，在大事上減損。又在那裡：人所高抬的，在上主面前乃是可憎的。三十五、論溫柔。在《民數記》中：摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上眾人。又在《詩篇》第二十四篇：上主本為良善溫和，所以祂必為在道中迷失的人立律法；祂必按公平引導謙和的人，將祂的道教訓謙和的人。又在《所羅門箴言》中：心裡溫柔的人是醫治者；
64:232
tinea autem ossibus cor intellegens. Item illic: Melior est mansuetus cum humilitate quam qui diuidit praedam cum contumeliosis. Item in ecclesiastico: Fili, in mansuetudine opera tua perfice, et ab omni homine diligeris. Item illic: Esto mansuetus ad audiendum uerbum, ut intellegas: et cum sapientia loquere responsum uerum. Item illic: Fili, in mansuetudine serua animam tuam, et da illi honorem secundum dignitatem suam. Item apostolus ad ephesios: Obsecro ergo uos ego uinctus in domino, ut digne ambuletis uocatione, qua uocati estis, cum omni humilitate animi et mansuetudine, cum multa patientia, subportantes inuicem in caritate, solliciti seruare unitatem spiritus in uinculo pacis.
but envy is a moth to the bones, and an understanding heart. Likewise there: Better is a meek man with humility than one who divides spoil with the insolent. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: My son, perform your works in meekness, and you shall be loved by every man. Likewise there: Be meek in hearing the word, that you may understand; and with wisdom give a true answer. Likewise there: My son, in meekness keep your soul, and give it honor according to its worth. Likewise the Apostle to the Ephesians: I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility of mind and meekness, with much patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
嫉妒卻是骨中的蛀蟲；而明智的心（是醫治）。又在那裡：溫柔謙卑的人，勝過與狂傲人分贓的。又在《德訓篇》中：我兒，你行事要溫柔，就必蒙眾人喜愛。又在那裡：你要溫柔聽道，好使你明白；並要憑智慧作出真實的回答。又在那裡：我兒，你要溫柔保守自己的靈魂，按其分量尊重它。又如使徒致以弗所人書：我為主被囚的懇求你們，行事為人要與蒙召的恩相稱，凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容，竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心，用和平彼此聯絡。
64:233
Item iacobus apo- stolus : Quis prudens et sciens uestrum? monstret de bona conuersatione opera sua in mansuetudine et prudentia. XXXVI. DE PATIENTIA. In prouerbiis: In corde uiri boni inuenietur patientia: nam in corde insipientium non agnoscitur. Item illic: Melior est uir patiens quam fortis: nam qui retinet iram, melior est quam qui ciuitatem capit. Item illic: Qui parcit uerbum proferre durum, prudens est: patiens autem uir sapiens est. Item illic: Patiens uir copiosus in sapientia: pusillianimis autem uehementer insipiens. Item apostolus ad th.essalonicenses I: Patientes estote ad omnes.
Likewise the Apostle James: Who among you is wise and knowing? Let him show, by his good conduct, his works in meekness and prudence. 36. ON PATIENCE. In Proverbs: In the heart of a good man patience will be found; but in the heart of fools it is not recognized. Likewise there: Better is a patient man than a strong one; for he who restrains his anger is better than he who takes a city. Likewise there: He who forbears to utter a harsh word is prudent; and a patient man is wise. Likewise there: The patient man is abundant in wisdom; but the fainthearted is exceedingly foolish. Likewise the Apostle to the Thessalonians, First: Be patient toward all.
又如使徒雅各：你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢？他就當憑著溫柔智慧，在善行上顯明他的作為。三十六、論忍耐。在《箴言》中：善人心中必有忍耐；愚昧人心中卻認不出忍耐。又在那裡：忍耐的人勝過剛強的人；制伏己怒的，勝過取城的。又在那裡：忍住不說粗暴話的，是明智的；忍耐的人乃是智慧人。又在那裡：忍耐的人大有智慧；心裡急躁的，卻大顯愚昧。又如使徒致帖撒羅尼迦前書：要向眾人忍耐。
64:234
uidete ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat, sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in inuicem et in omnes. XXXVII. DE HVMILITATE. In prouerbiis: Omnis opera humilis manifesta aput deum: nam impii in die malorum cadebunt. Item illic: Humilkt ualde spiritum tuum: quoniam uindicta carnis impii ignis et uermis. Item illic: Responsum humile auertit iram. Item illic: Humilitas exaltat gentes. Item in psalmo XXXIII: Iuxta est dominus his qui tribulato sunt corde, et humiles spiritu saluabit. Item in esaia propheta: Quia misertus est deus populo suo, et humiles populi sui consolatus est. Item illic: Et ad quem respiciam, dicit dominus, nisi ad humilem et quietum et trementem uerba mea?
See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good toward one another and toward all. 37. ON HUMILITY. In Proverbs: Every work of the humble is manifest before God; but the impious shall fall in the day of evils. Likewise there: Humble your spirit greatly, for the vengeance upon the flesh of the impious is fire and worms. Likewise there: A humble answer turns away wrath. Likewise there: Humility exalts nations. Likewise in Psalm 33: The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit. Likewise in the prophet Isaiah: For God has had mercy on his people, and has comforted the humble of his people. Likewise there: And to whom shall I look, says the Lord, but to the humble and quiet one, who trembles at my words?
你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不可以惡報惡；或是彼此相待，或是待眾人，總要追求良善。三十七、論謙卑。在《箴言》中：謙卑人的一切作為都顯明在神面前；惡人卻要在災難之日跌倒。又在那裡：你要大大謙卑你的心，因為報應在惡人肉體上的，是火與蟲。又在那裡：謙卑的回答使怒氣消退。又在那裡：謙卑使邦國高升。又在《詩篇》第三十三篇：上主親近傷心的人，拯救靈裡痛悔（謙卑）的人。又在先知以賽亞書中：因為神憐憫祂的百姓，安慰祂百姓中謙卑的人。又在那裡：上主說：除了那謙卑安靜、因我話而戰兢的人以外，我還顧念誰呢？
64:235
Item in euangelio secundum matthaeum: Quicumque autem humiliauerit se, exaltabitur, et qui se exaltauerit, humiliabitur. Item in epistula petri I: Omnes autem quietem et humilitatem animi induite: quia dominus superbis resistit, humilibus autem dat gratiam. Item iacobus apostolus: Humiliate uos deo. et resistite diabulo, et fugiet a uobis. proximate deo, et proximabit uobis. Item illic: Humiliamini ante conspectum domini, et exaltabit uos. XXXVIII. DE SAPIENTE. In prouerbiis: Beatus homo qui inuenit sapientiam, et inmortalis qui inuenit prudentiam. melius est enim illam mercari quam auri et argenti thensauros. Item illic: Gloriam sapientes possidebunt, et insipientes diuident contumeliam.
Likewise in the Gospel according to Matthew: Whoever humbles himself shall be exalted, and he who exalts himself shall be humbled. Likewise in the First Epistle of Peter: But all of you, clothe yourselves with quietness and humility of mind; for the Lord resists the proud, but to the humble he gives grace. Likewise the Apostle James: Humble yourselves before God, and resist the devil, and he will flee from you; draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Likewise there: Humble yourselves before the face of the Lord, and he will exalt you. 38. ON THE WISE MAN. In Proverbs: Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and immortal is he who finds prudence. For it is better to gain her than treasures of gold and silver. Likewise there: The wise shall possess glory, but fools shall share disgrace.
又在馬太福音中：凡自卑的，必升為高；自高的，必降為卑。又在彼得前書中：你們眾人都要以清心與謙卑束腰；因為神抵擋驕傲的人，賜恩給謙卑的人。又如使徒雅各：你們要在神面前謙卑，抵擋魔鬼，魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了；你們親近神，神就必親近你們。又在那裡：你們務要在主面前自卑，主就必叫你們升高。三十八、論智慧人。在《箴言》中：得智慧、得聰明的，這人便為有福；因為得智慧勝過得金銀之財。又在那裡：智慧人必承受尊榮，愚昧人卻分受羞辱。
64:236
Item illic: Sensus bonus accedit ad eos qui nouerunt eum, uir autem prudens inueniet eum. Item illic: Ornamentum adulescentibus sapientia, gloria autem seniorum cani. Item illic: Da sapienti occasionem, et sapientior erit: notum facio iusto, et adiciet percipere. Item illic: Sapiens corde percipiet mandata. Item illic: Sapientes celabunt intellectum.

Item illic: Thensaurus desiderandus requiescit in ore sapientis. Item illic: Melior est uir sapiens quam fortis et uir prudentiam habens quam ager magnus. Item illic:
Likewise there: Good understanding comes to those who know it, and a prudent man will find it. Likewise there: Wisdom is an ornament to the young, and gray hair is the glory of the aged. Likewise there: Give a wise man an occasion, and he will be the wiser; I make it known to the just man, and he will add to his understanding. Likewise there: He who is wise of heart will receive the commandments. Likewise there: The wise will conceal understanding. Likewise there: A wise man acts quietly. Likewise there: A wise man is the seat of understanding. Likewise there: The law is a fountain of life to the wise. Likewise there: The heart of the wise will possess understanding. Likewise there: A treasure to be desired rests in the mouth of the wise. Likewise there: Better is a wise man than a strong one, and a man having prudence than a great field. Likewise there:
又在那裡：良善的悟性臨到認識它的人，明智的人必尋得它。又在那裡：智慧為少年人的裝飾，白髮為老年人的榮耀。又在那裡：給智慧人機會，他就更有智慧；我指教義人，他必增長見識。又在那裡：心裡有智慧的，必領受誡命。又在那裡：智慧人必隱藏知識。又在那裡：智慧人行事安靜。又在那裡：智慧人是聰明的居所。又在那裡：律法是智慧人的生命泉源。又在那裡：智慧人的心必得知識。又在那裡：可羨慕的珍寶存於智慧人口中。又在那裡：智慧人勝過剛強的人，有見識的勝過廣大的田地。又在那裡：
64:237
Sapientes non declinant de ore domini, sed cogitant in consiliis. Item illic: Qui ambulat sapienter, saluus erit. Item in ecclesiastico: Cor sapientis intellegitur in sapientia. Item illic: Non abscondas sapientiam tuam in decore: in lingua enim cognoscitur sapientia, et sensus et scientia doctrinae in uerbis ueritatis, et firmamentum in operibus iustitiae. Item illic: Sapientia humilis exaltabit caput illius, et in medio magnatorum considere illum faciei Item illic: Felix sapiens, qui in sapientia sua ueritatem et iustitiam meditatur, et in sensu suo cogitabit circuminspeotioaem dei! Item. illic: Homo sapiens in omnibus metuebit. Item illic:
The wise do not turn aside from the mouth of the Lord, but ponder in counsels. Likewise there: He who walks wisely shall be saved. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: The heart of the wise is understood in wisdom. Likewise there: Do not hide your wisdom in its beauty; for by the tongue is wisdom made known, and understanding and knowledge of doctrine in words of truth, and steadfastness in works of justice. Likewise there: Humble wisdom shall lift up his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of the great. Likewise there: Happy the wise man who meditates on truth and justice in his wisdom, and in his mind ponders the all-seeing providence of God! Likewise there: A wise man will fear in all things. Likewise there:
智慧人不偏離上主的口，只在謀略中思想。又在那裡：智慧行事的，必然得救。又在《德訓篇》中：智慧人的心藉智慧得以明白。又在那裡：不要在美飾中隱藏你的智慧；因為智慧藉舌頭顯明，悟性與教訓的知識藉真理的言語顯明，堅定藉公義的行為顯明。又在那裡：謙卑的智慧必使他抬頭，使他坐在大人中間。又在那裡：那有福的智慧人，在自己的智慧中思想真理與公義，心中默想神那無所不察的眷顧！又在那裡：智慧人凡事謹慎懼怕。又在那裡：
64:238
Sensati in uerbis sapienter egerunt, et intellexerunt ueritatem et iustitiam, et plorauerunt ad prouerbia et iudicia. Item illic: Homo sapiens tacebit usque in tempus: laaeigus autem et inprudens non seruabunt tempus. Item illic; Sapiens in uerbis se ipsum adfabilem facit. Item illic: Osprudentis quaeritur in ecclesia et uerba illius cogitabunt in cordibus suis. Item illic: Homo pius in sapientia manet sicut sol: nam stultus quasi luna inmutatur. Item illic: Homo sensutus credit legi dei. Item illic: Vir peritus multos erudiuit, et animae suae suauis est. Item illic: Vir sapiens inplebitur benedictione, et uidentes illum laudabunt. Item illic:
The prudent have acted wisely in words, and have understood truth and justice, and have poured out proverbs and judgments. Likewise there: A wise man will keep silence until the time; but the loose and imprudent will not observe the time. Likewise there: A wise man makes himself affable in his words. Likewise there: The mouth of the prudent is sought in the assembly, and men will ponder his words in their hearts. Likewise there: A devout man remains in wisdom like the sun; but a fool changes like the moon. Likewise there: A man of sense believes the law of God. Likewise there: A skilled man has instructed many, and is sweet to his own soul. Likewise there: A wise man shall be filled with blessing, and those who see him will praise him. Likewise there:
明智的人以言語行事有智慧，明白真理與公義，傾吐箴言與判斷。又在那裡：智慧人必守口如瓶，直到時候；放縱不慎的，卻不守時機。又在那裡：智慧人以言語使自己和藹可親。又在那裡：明智人的口在會眾中被尋求，眾人必把他的話存於心中思想。又在那裡：敬虔的人在智慧中常存，像太陽；愚昧人卻像月亮般變幻。又在那裡：有見識的人信服神的律法。又在那裡：老練的人教導了許多人，且使自己的靈魂甘甜。又在那裡：智慧人必充滿福分，見他的人都必稱讚他。又在那裡：
64:239
Sapiens in populo hereditabit honorem, et nomen eius erit uiuens in aeternum. Item in ecclesiaste: Cor sapientium in domo luctus, et cor insipientium in domo luxoriae. Item illic: Verba sapientium in requiem audientium. Item iob; Quoniam sapientia est timere dominum: abstinere autem se a malis scientia est. Item tobi: Adtende autem tibi, fili, in omnibus operibus tuis, et esto sapiens in uniuersis sermonibus tuis: et quod nolueris tibi fieri, alio ne feceris. Item in prouerbiis: Sapiens timendo declinat a malo, stultus uero sibi confidens miscetur iniquo. XXXVIIII. DE CONVERSATIONE IVVENVM. In psalmo CXVIII: In quo corrigit iuuenior uiam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos.
The wise man shall inherit honor among the people, and his name shall live forever. Likewise in Ecclesiastes: The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, and the heart of fools in the house of revelry. Likewise there: The words of the wise are heard in quietness. Likewise Job: For wisdom is to fear the Lord, and to abstain from evils is knowledge. Likewise Tobit: But attend to yourself, my son, in all your works, and be wise in all your speech; and what you would not have done to you, do not do to another. Likewise in Proverbs: A wise man, fearing, turns away from evil; but a fool, trusting in himself, is mingled with the wicked. 39. ON THE CONDUCT OF THE YOUNG. In Psalm 118: How does a young man correct his way? By keeping your words.
智慧人必在百姓中承受尊榮，他的名必存到永遠。又在《傳道書》中：智慧人的心在遭喪之家，愚昧人的心在宴樂之家。又在那裡：智慧人安靜的言語為人所聽從。又如《約伯記》：敬畏上主就是智慧，遠離諸惡便是聰明。又如《多俾亞傳》：我兒，凡你所行的都要謹慎自守，在你一切言語上要有智慧；你不願人待你的，也不要待別人。又在《箴言》中：智慧人存敬畏遠離惡事；愚昧人卻自恃而與惡人相混。三十九、論少年人的品行。在《詩篇》第一百十八篇：少年人用甚麼潔淨他的行為呢？是遵行你的話。
64:240
Item in prouerbiis solomonis: Scire sapientiam et disciplinam, et intellegere sermones prudentiae, ac percipere uersutias sermonum, atque intellegere iustitiam ueram, et iudicium dirigere iustum: ut det innocentibus astutiam, puero autem iuniori sensum et peritiam: his enim auditis sapiens sapientior erit. Item illic: Fili, non te conpraehendat mala cogitatio, quae dereliquit doctrinam adulescentiae, et testamentum diuinum oblita est. posuit enim aput mortem domum suam, et aput infernum cum terrigenis sunt cursus eius. omnes qui uadunt per illam, non reuertentur, sed in paenitentiam uenient Item illic: Fili, ne deficias: serua autem meum consilium et cogitationem:
Likewise in the Proverbs of Solomon: To know wisdom and discipline, and to understand the words of prudence, and to receive the subtleties of speech, and to understand true justice, and to direct a just judgment: that he may give shrewdness to the innocent, and to the younger boy understanding and skill. For when the wise man hears these things, he will be the wiser. Likewise there: My son, let no evil thought take hold of you, which forsakes the teaching of youth and has forgotten the divine covenant; for it has set its house near death, and its courses are near hell among the earthborn. All who go by it shall not return, but shall come to repentance. Likewise there: My son, do not faint; but keep my counsel and thought:
又在《所羅門箴言》中：要使人曉得智慧和管教，明白明智的言語，領受聰明話語的巧妙，明白真正的公義，判斷公正的審判；使愚蒙人靈巧，使少年人有知識與見識。智慧人聽見這些，就必更有智慧。又在那裡：我兒，不可讓惡念抓住你，那惡念離棄了幼年的教訓，忘記了神聖的盟約；因它把自己的家安在死亡旁，它的道路臨近陰間，與地上的亡者為伍。凡從那路而行的都不得回轉，卻要落到懊悔中。又在那裡：我兒，不可灰心；只要謹守我的謀略與思念：
64:241
ut uiuat anima tua semper et gratia sit circa tuam ceruicem. tunc sanitas erit carnibus tuis et diligentia ossibus tuis. Item illic: Vias impiorum noli ingredi, neque aemuleris uias iniquorum: in quocumque loco castra constituerint, non eas illuc: diuerte autem ab eis et declina. Item illic: Omni custodia serua cor tuum: ex his enim exitus sunt uitae. aufers a te prauum os, et iniqua labia longe expelle a te. oculi tui recta uideant, palpebrae autem tuae adnuntient iusta. recta itinera fac tuis pedibus, et uias tuas dirige: nec declines in dextram uel in sinistram, auerte autem pedem tuum a uia mala. Item illic: Ornamentum adulescentibus sapientia, gloria autem seniorum cani.
that your soul may live forever, and grace be about your neck. Then there shall be health to your flesh, and care for your bones. Likewise there: Do not enter the ways of the impious, nor emulate the ways of the wicked; in whatever place they pitch their camp, do not go there, but turn away from them and depart. Likewise there: With all watchfulness keep your heart, for from it are the issues of life. Put away from you the perverse mouth, and drive iniquitous lips far from you. Let your eyes look on what is right, and let your eyelids give warning of just things. Make straight paths for your feet, and direct your ways; do not turn aside to the right or to the left, but turn your foot away from the evil way. Likewise there: Wisdom is an ornament to the young, and gray hair is the glory of the aged.
好叫你的靈魂永遠存活，恩典環繞你的頸項。這樣，你的肉體必得健康，你的骨頭必得滋潤。又在那裡：不可進入惡人的道，也不可效法歹人的路；他們無論在何處紮營，你都不可往那裡去，總要遠離他們、偏離而行。又在那裡：你要竭力保守你的心，因為一生的果效由心發出。要除掉你口中乖僻的話，遠遠拋棄邪惡的嘴唇。你的眼目要向前正看，你的眼皮要指明正直的事。要修平你腳下的路，堅定你一切的道；不可偏向左右，總要使你的腳離開邪惡。又在那裡：智慧為少年人的裝飾，白髮為老年人的榮耀。
64:242
Item in ecclesiastico: Fili, a iuuentute tua excipe doctrinam, et usque ad oaoos inuenies sapientiam. quasi is qui arat et seminat accede ad illam, et suatiae bonos fructus illius. in opere enim illius exiguum laborabis, et cito edes de generationibus illius. quam aspera est nimium indoctis: et non permanebit in illa excors. Item illic: Cum sancto adsiduus esto, quemcumque cognoueris conseruantem timorem damiBi . Item illic: In multitudine presbiterorum prudentium sta, et sapientiae illorum ex corde coniungere: et omBem narrationem dei uelis audire, et prouerbia laudis non effugiant te. uidens sensutum euigila ad illum, et gradus ostiorum illius exprimat pes tuus.
Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: My son, from your youth take up instruction, and until your gray hairs you shall find wisdom. Come to her as one who plows and sows, and await her good fruits; for in laboring at her work you shall labor but a little, and soon you shall eat of her produce. How exceedingly harsh she is to the untaught! and the senseless shall not remain in her. Likewise there: Be constant with the holy man, whomsoever you know to keep the fear of the Lord. Likewise there: Stand in the multitude of prudent elders, and join yourself from the heart to their wisdom; and desire to hear every discourse about God, and let no proverbs of praise escape you. When you see a man of sense, wake early to seek him, and let your foot wear out the steps of his doors.
又在《德訓篇》中：我兒，你從幼年就當領受教訓，直到白髮之年，你必尋得智慧。你當像耕種撒種的人那樣就近她，等候她美好的果實；因為你在她的工作上稍微勞苦，很快就必吃她所生的。她對無知之人是何等艱難！無心思的人也不能在她裡面存留。又在那裡：你要常與聖潔的人相親，就是你所認識、持守敬畏上主的人。又在那裡：你要站在明智長者的群中，一心與他們的智慧聯合；要樂意聽一切論及神的話，讚美的箴言不可從你溜走。你見有見識的人，就當清早去尋訪他，你的腳要踏遍他家的門檻。
64:243
cogitatum habe in praeceptis dei, et in mandatis eius adsiduus esto: et ipse cor dabit tibi, et concupiscentia sapientiae dabi- tor tibi. Item illic: Fili, in uita tua tempta animam tuam: et si fuerit nequa, non des -ei potestatem. non enim omni animae omne genus placet. Item illic: Adulescens, loquere in tua causa uix interrogatus. habeat caput responsum tuum. in multis esto quasi inscius simul et quaerens. in medio magnatorum ne praesumas, et ubi sunt senes non multum loquaris. ante grandinem praecedit coruscatio, et ante hominem uerecundum praecedit gratia. et si hora est surgendi, non trices. praecurre autem prior in domum tuam:
Have your thought in the precepts of God, and be constant in his commandments; and he himself will give you a heart, and the desire of wisdom shall be given to you. Likewise there: My son, in your life test your soul; and if it be wicked, do not give it power; for not every kind of thing pleases every soul. Likewise there: Young man, speak in your own cause, barely when asked. Let your answer be brief. In many things be as one who is ignorant, and at the same time inquiring. In the midst of the great do not presume, and where there are elders, do not speak much. Lightning goes before hail, and before a modest man goes favor. And if it be the hour to rise, do not linger. But hasten first into your own house:
你要把心思放在神的訓誨上，恆常持守祂的誡命；祂就必賜你一顆心，智慧的渴慕也必賜給你。又在那裡：我兒，你一生要試驗自己的靈魂；若它是邪惡的，就不可任它掌權；因為不是各樣事物都合各人的心。又在那裡：少年人哪，除非有人問你，你才略略為自己申辯。你的回答要簡短。在許多事上要像個無知又求問的人。在大人中間不可放肆，有長者在場處不可多言。閃電先於冰雹，恩寵在謙遜的人之先而至。若到了當起身的時候，不可遲延。要先趕回自己的家：
64:244
illic auocare, illic lude et age conceptiones tuas, et non in delictis aut uerbo superbo, sed in benedicendo eum qui te benedixit, qui te repleuit bonis suis et satiat te bonis suis. Item in ecclesiaste: Laetare, adulescens, in iuuentute tua, etbene disponat cor tuum in diebus adulescentiae tuae: et ambula in uia cordis tui sine macula et non in auda-eia in aspectu oculorum tuorum. et scito, quod super haec omnia adducet te deus in iudicium. repelle iram a corde tuo, et remoue nequitiam a carne tua, quia adulescentia et stultitia uanitas est. et memor esto eius qui te creauit in diebus adulescentiae tuae. Item in hieremia propheta: Sors mea dominus, dixi: ideo sustinebo ipsum.
there call for recreation, there play and pursue your fancies, yet not in transgressions or in a proud word, but in blessing him who blessed you, who filled you with his good things and satisfies you with his good things. Likewise in Ecclesiastes: Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart dispose you well in the days of your youth; and walk in the way of your heart without blemish, and not in boldness in the sight of your own eyes. And know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Put away anger from your heart, and remove wickedness from your flesh, for youth and folly are vanity. And remember him who created you in the days of your youth. Likewise in the prophet Jeremiah: The Lord is my portion, I said; therefore I will wait for him.
你要在那裡尋樂，在那裡遊戲、隨你的心意，但不可在過犯中或狂傲的言語中，卻要在稱頌那賜福給你者之中，就是那用祂的美物充滿你、以祂的美物使你飽足的。又在《傳道書》中：少年人哪，你在幼年時當快樂，在幼年的日子使你的心歡暢；要行你心所願的道，卻毫無瑕疵，也不可任眼目放縱。但要知道，為這一切的事，神必審問你。當從你心中除掉愁煩，從你肉體中除去邪惡，因為幼年和青春都是虛空。當在你幼年的日子記念造你的主。又在先知耶利米書中：我心裡說，上主是我的分，因此我要仰望祂。
64:245
bonus est dominus sustinentibus eum. anima, quae quaesierit eum, bonum est sustinere et sperare in salutare dei. bonum est uiro cum portauerit iugum graue in iuuentute sua: sedebit singulariter et silebit, quia tulit super se iugum graue. dabit in fossa os suum: si tamen est spes patienti. dabit percutienti maxillam suam, et satiabitur in obprobriis: quia non repellet me in aeternum dominus. quia cum humiliauerit, miserebitur secundum multitudinem misericordiae suae. Item tobi: Tu autem in omnibus diebus uitae tuae, fili, time deum tuum, et ne uelis peccare uel praeterire praecepta eius: quoniam misericordia et ira ab ipso est.
The Lord is good to those who wait for him. For the soul that seeks him, it is good to wait and to hope in the salvation of God. It is good for a man when he has borne the heavy yoke in his youth: he shall sit alone and keep silence, because he has taken the heavy yoke upon himself. He shall put his mouth in the dust; if perhaps there be hope for one who endures. He shall give his cheek to the one who strikes him, and shall be filled with reproaches; because the Lord will not cast me off forever. For when he has humbled, he will have mercy according to the multitude of his mercy. Likewise Tobit: But you, my son, all the days of your life, fear your God, and do not desire to sin or to transgress his precepts; for mercy and wrath are with him.
上主善待仰望祂的人。尋求祂的靈魂，仰望等候上主的救恩，是好的。人在幼年負重軛，這原是好的：他要獨坐無言，因他負了這重軛。他當口貼塵埃，或者還有指望。他要向打他的人轉臉，甘受凌辱；因為上主必不永遠丟棄我。祂雖使人擔憂，還要照祂豐盛的慈愛施憐憫。又如《多俾亞傳》：我兒，你一生的日子都要敬畏你的神，不可存心犯罪，也不可越犯祂的誡命；因為憐憫與忿怒都在乎祂。
64:246
diligens autem iustitiam in omnibus diebus uitae tuae bene facito coram ipso, et noli ambulare in uiis iniqui- tatis. Item illic: Et nunc, filioli, hoc est quod mando uobis, ut in quo instituo uos seruiatis deo et faciatis coram illo quod placet illi. sed et uos mandate filiis nestris ut operentur institiam et facientes elemosynam memores sint dei in omnibus uiis suis et benedicant nomen illius in omni tempore in ueritate et in tota uirtute sua. Item apostolus ad timotheum : Iuuenalia autem desideria fuge: sectare uero iustitiam, fidem, caritatem, pacem cum his qui inuocant deum de corde puro. XL. NON PERIVRANDVM. In leuitico:
But loving justice all the days of your life, do well before him, and do not walk in the ways of iniquity. Likewise there: And now, my little sons, this is what I command you, that in what I appoint you may serve God, and do before him what pleases him. And you also, command your children to work justice, and doing alms to be mindful of God in all their ways, and to bless his name at all times in truth and with all their strength. Likewise the Apostle to Timothy: Flee youthful desires; pursue rather justice, faith, charity, peace, with those who call upon God from a pure heart. 40. THAT ONE MUST NOT SWEAR FALSELY. In Leviticus:
你一生的日子都要愛慕公義，在祂面前行善，不可行在不義的路上。又在那裡：我的孩子們，如今我所吩咐你們的就是這事：你們要照我所定的事奉神，在祂面前行祂所喜悅的。你們也要吩咐你們的兒女行公義、施捨賙濟，在一切所行的路上記念神，時常憑真理並盡自己一切的力量稱頌祂的名。又如使徒致提摩太書：你要逃避少年的私慾，同那清心禱告主的人追求公義、信德、仁愛、和平。四十、不可起假誓。在《利未記》中：
64:247
Non iurabitis nomine meo iniuste, et non profanabitis nomen sanctum: ego sum dominus uester. Item in psalmo XlIII : Qui iurat proximo suo et non decipit eum. Item in psalmo XXIII: Qui non accepit in uano animam suam; nec iurauit proximo suo in dolo, bie accipiet benedictionem a domino et misericordiam a deo salutari suo, Item in libro sapientiae: Aut enim dum laetantur, insani fiunt, aut uaticinantur falsa, aut uiuunt iniuste, aut periurant cito. dum enim confidunt in idola, quae sunt sine anima, male iurantes laedi se non sperant, et iniuste iurauerunt, ficte contemnentes iustitiam. Item in zacharia propheta:
You shall not swear unjustly by my name, and you shall not profane the holy name; I am the Lord your God. Likewise in Psalm 14: He who swears to his neighbor and does not deceive him. Likewise in Psalm 23: He who has not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor, he shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his savior. Likewise in the book of Wisdom: For either while they make merry they become mad, or they prophesy falsehoods, or they live unjustly, or they quickly forswear themselves. For while they trust in idols, which are without soul, swearing wickedly they do not expect to be harmed, and they have sworn unjustly, feignedly despising justice. Likewise in the prophet Zechariah:
你們不可指著我的名起假誓，也不可褻瀆聖名；我是上主你們的神。又在《詩篇》第十四篇：向鄰舍起誓卻不欺哄他的人。又在《詩篇》第二十三篇：那不向虛妄舉心、不憑詭詐向鄰舍起誓的，他必蒙上主賜福，並蒙救他的神施憐憫。又在《智訓》一書中：他們或在歡樂之中發狂，或說虛謊的預言，或行事不義，或輕易背誓。因為他們倚靠無魂的偶像，惡意起誓卻不怕受害，且不義地起了誓，假意藐視公義。又在先知撒迦利亞書中：
64:248
Et iuramentum falsum nolite diligere, quia haec omnia odiui, dicit dominus omnipotens. XLI. NON IVRANDVM. In ecclesiastico: Iurationi non adsuescas os tuum: multi enim casus in illa. et nominibus non admiscearis, quo- Diam non eris inmunis ab eis. sicut enim seruus interrogatu» adsidue a liuore non minuetur, sic omnis iurans et nominans in toto a peccato non purgabitur. uir multum iurans inplebitur iniquitate, et non discedet a domo illius plaga: et ei uane iurauerit, non iustificabitur. Item illic: Loquella multum iurantis horripilationem statuet. Item secundum matthaeum: Audistis quia dictum est: non periurabis, sed reddes domino iuramenta tua.
And do not love a false oath, for all these things I have hated, says the Lord almighty. 41. THAT ONE MUST NOT SWEAR AT ALL. In Ecclesiasticus: Do not accustom your mouth to swearing, for in it there are many falls; and do not busy yourself with names, for you shall not be innocent of them. For as a servant continually questioned will not be lessened of bruises, so everyone who swears and names the Name in every matter shall not be cleansed of sin. A man who swears much shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall not depart from his house; and if he swears in vain, he shall not be justified. Likewise there: The speech of one who swears much makes the hair stand on end. Likewise according to Matthew: You have heard that it was said: You shall not swear falsely, but you shall render to the Lord your oaths.
不可喜愛起假誓，因為這一切都是我所恨惡的，全能的上主如此說。四十一、不可起誓。在《德訓篇》中：不要慣使你的口起誓，因其中多有跌倒；也不要慣提聖名，因你不能免於因此而來的罪。因為僕人若不斷受盤問，鞭傷必不減少；照樣，凡在諸事上起誓提名的，也不能免罪。多起誓的人必充滿罪孽，災禍不離他的家；他若妄起誓，也必不算無罪。又在那裡：多起誓者的言語令人毛骨悚然。又照馬太福音：你們聽見有話說：不可背誓，所起的誓總要向主謹守。
64:249
ego autem dico uobis, ne omnino iuretis, neque per caelum, quia sedes dei est, neque per terram, quia scabillum est pedum eius, neque per hierusolymam, quia ciuitas est magni regis, neque per caput tuum iuraueris, quia non potes ullum capillum album facere aut nigrum. sit autem sermo uester: est est, non non: quod autem amplius est, a malo est. XLII. NON DICENDVM FALSVM TESTIMONIVM. In exodo: Non dices falsum testimonium aduersus proximum tuum. non consenties cum iniusto fieri testis iniustus. Item in psalmo XXXIIU: Exurgentes testes iniqui quae ignorabam interrogabant me, retribuebant mihi mala pro bonis. Item in prouerbiis: Accendit falsa testis iniustus et inmittit iudicia inter fratres.
But I say to you, do not swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God, nor by earth, for it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; nor shall you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your speech be: yes, yes; no, no; for whatever is more than these is from evil. 42. THAT ONE MUST NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS. In Exodus: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not consent with the unjust to become an unjust witness. Likewise in Psalm 34: Unjust witnesses, rising up, asked me of things I knew not; they repaid me evil for good. Likewise in Proverbs: An unjust false witness kindles falsehoods and sows judgments among brethren.
只是我告訴你們，甚麼誓都不可起；不可指著天起誓，因為天是神的座位；不可指著地起誓，因為地是祂的腳凳；也不可指著耶路撒冷起誓，因為那是大君王的城；又不可指著你的頭起誓，因為你不能使一根頭髮變黑變白。你們的話，是就說是，不是就說不是；若再多說，就是出於那惡者。四十二、不可作假見證。在《出埃及記》中：不可作假見證陷害你的鄰舍。不可附和不義的人作不義的見證。又在《詩篇》第三十四篇：不義的見證人起來，盤問我所不知道的事，以惡報善待我。又在《箴言》中：不義的假見證人點燃謊言，在弟兄中散播爭訟。
64:250
Item illic: Testis autem uelox linguam habet iniquam. Item illic: Eripiet de malis animam testis fidelis, incendit autem falsa dolosus. Item illic: Vir mutabilis lingua incidet in mala. Item illic: Testis falsus non erit inpunitus: qui autem accusat iniuste, non euadet. Item illic: Testis mendax peribit, uir autem oboediens caute loquetur. Item illic: Noli esse testis mendax in ciuem tuum, neque dilateris labiis tuis. Item illic: Claua et gladius et sagitta perniciosa sunt: sic et uir, qui aduersus amicum suum testimonium falsum dicit. Item illic: Lingua mendax odit ueritatem, os autem incontinens facit seditiones. XLIII. NON MENTIENDVM. In exodo:
Likewise there: But a swift witness has a wicked tongue. Likewise there: A faithful witness will deliver a soul from evils, but a deceitful man kindles up falsehoods. Likewise there: A fickle man with his tongue will fall into evils. Likewise there: A false witness shall not go unpunished, and he who accuses unjustly shall not escape. Likewise there: A lying witness shall perish, but an obedient man shall speak with caution. Likewise there: Be not a lying witness against your fellow citizen, neither be enlarged with your lips. Likewise there: A club and a sword and a piercing arrow, such is the man who bears false witness against his friend. Likewise there: A lying tongue hates the truth, and an unrestrained mouth stirs up seditions. XLIII. THAT ONE MUST NOT LIE. In Exodus:
同處又說：迅捷的見證有邪惡的舌頭。同處又說：忠信的見證要從禍患中拯救人的靈魂，但詭詐者卻煽動虛謊。同處又說：反覆無常之人必因其舌陷入禍患。同處又說：假見證必不免受罰，不義控告人的也不得脫逃。同處又說：說謊的見證必要滅亡，順從的人卻謹慎說話。同處又說：不可作假見證陷害你的同胞，也不可用你的嘴唇誇張。同處又說：作假見證陷害朋友的人，就像大棒、刀劍與利箭。同處又說：說謊的舌恨惡真理，放縱的口引發爭端。四十三、不可說謊。在出埃及記中：
64:251
Non facietis furtum, et non mentiemini, nec calumniam faciet quisquam proximo suo. Item in libro sapientiae: Os autem, quod mentitur, occidit animam. Item in ecclesiastico: Noli narrare mendacium aduersus fratrem furtum et non mentiemini. In sapientia cap . I: Os autem quod mentitur occidit animam. In ecclesiastico cap . V: Noli narrare mendacium aduersus fratrem tuum usque tuum, neque in amico similiter facias. Item illic: Noli uelle mentiri omne mendacium : adsiduitas enim illius non bona. Item illic: Superuacuitas nequa homini mendacium: in ore indisciplinatorum adsidue erit. Item in hieremia propheta:
You shall not steal, and you shall not lie, nor shall anyone bring a false charge against his neighbor. Likewise in the Book of Wisdom: But the mouth that lies kills the soul. Likewise in Ecclesiasticus: Do not utter a lie against your brother. In Wisdom, chapter I: But the mouth that lies kills the soul. In Ecclesiasticus, chapter V: Do not utter a lie against your brother, and do likewise to a friend. Likewise there: Do not be willing to tell any lie whatever, for the habit of it is not good. Likewise there: A lie is a foul disgrace in a man; it will be continually on the mouth of the undisciplined. Likewise in the prophet Jeremiah:
你們不可偷竊，不可說謊，也不可有人向鄰舍施行誣告。同樣在智慧書中：說謊的口殺害靈魂。同樣在便西拉智訓中：不可對你的弟兄說謊言。在智慧書第一章：說謊的口殺害靈魂。在便西拉智訓第五章：不可對你的弟兄說謊言，對朋友也照樣不可。同處又說：不要願意說任何謊言，因習於此非為善事。同處又說：說謊在人身上是可憎的醜事，必常在不受管教之人的口中。同樣在先知耶利米書中：
64:252
Mendacium et non fides inualuit super terram, quia a malis mala exierunt, et me non cognouerunt. Item illic: Melior est pauper ambulans in ueritate quam diues mendax. Item paulus apostolus ad ephesios : Deponentes mendacium, loquimini ueritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo, quia sumus inuicem membra. Item ad colossenses : Nolite mentiri inuicem, spoliantes uos ueterem hominem cum actibus suis. Item iohannes apostolus: Omne mendacium non est de ueritate. XLIIII. DE INTERDICTV IDOLATRIAE. In exodo: Descendit autem moyses ad populum, et dixit illis: locutus est dominus omnia haec uerba, dicens: ego sum dominus deus tuus, qui eduxi te de aegypto, de domo seruitutis.
Lying and not faithfulness has prevailed upon the earth, for from evils they have gone out to evils, and they have not known me. Likewise there: Better is a poor man walking in truth than a rich man who lies. Likewise the apostle Paul to the Ephesians: Putting away lying, let each one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Likewise to the Colossians: Do not lie to one another, putting off the old man with his deeds. Likewise John the apostle: Every lie is not of the truth. XLIIII. ON THE PROHIBITION OF IDOLATRY. In Exodus: And Moses went down to the people, and said to them: The Lord has spoken all these words, saying: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
虛謊而非信實在地上得勢，因為他們從惡走向惡，並不認識我。同處又說：憑真理行走的窮人，勝過說謊的富人。同樣使徒保羅致以弗所人書：你們要棄絕謊言，各人與鄰舍說真話，因為我們是互相為肢體。同樣致歌羅西人書：不要彼此說謊，因你們已脫去舊人和舊人的行為。同樣使徒約翰：一切謊言都不是出於真理。四十四、論禁止拜偶像。在出埃及記中：摩西下到百姓那裡，對他們說：耶和華說了這一切話，說：我是耶和華你的神，曾將你從埃及、從為奴之家領出來。
