ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). 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).
224:1
Vincere diabolum, ipso suffragante Domino, potuit quicunque salutaria Dei præcepta suspirans studuerit exosam cunctis tumidæ mentis suae inclinare superbiam, radicem malorum omnium, avaritiam coercere; inimicam bonarum virtutum fefrenare luxuriam, hostem sanctae castitatis invidiam mitigare, usurarum etiam perniciosa non amare compendia, custodem pacis justitiam muneribus non gravare, noxia factionum horrere commenta, inglorium et nonnunquam cruentum indebiti honoris ambitum declinare, incentiva discordiæ, contumeliosae linguae maledicta cohibere, mendacia nihilominus, quæ vitam maculant.
To conquer the devil, with the Lord Himself aiding, could anyone who, longing for the saving precepts of God, has striven: to bow down the pride of his swollen mind, hateful to all; to curb avarice, the root of all evils; to bridle luxury, the enemy of good virtues; to soften envy, the foe of holy chastity; not to love even the pernicious gains of usury; not to burden with bribes justice, the guardian of peace; to shudder at the noxious contrivances of factions; to shun the inglorious and sometimes bloody ambition for undeserved honor; to restrain the incentives of discord, the curses of an insulting tongue; and no less lies, which stain life.
凡渴慕神那帶來拯救之誡命的人，靠著主自己的相助，都能勝過魔鬼，只要他竭力：壓下自己那令眾人厭惡、心高氣傲的驕傲；約束貪婪，即萬惡之根；勒住奢華，即眾善德的仇敵；平息嫉妒，即聖潔貞潔的敵人；甚至不愛放債那有害的贏利；不以賄賂加重公義，即和平的守護者；戰兢懼怕結黨那有害的詭計；躲避那不光彩、有時且沾血的、對不配之榮譽的野心；抑制紛爭的挑動、辱罵之舌的咒詛；也照樣抑制那玷污生命的謊言。
224:2
animam vulnerant, amicitias dissipant, Christiano ab ore repellere, atque ab omnibus superstitionibus dæmonum idolorumque sacrilegiis, per quæ vel maxime benignitas omnipotentis offenditur veri Dei amore diffugere.
They wound the soul and destroy friendships; these things a Christian must drive away from his lips, and, through the love of the true God, must flee from all the superstitions of demons and the sacrilegious worship of idols, by which above all the loving-kindness of the Almighty is offended.
它們傷害靈魂、破壞友誼；基督徒必須將這些從口中驅除，並且藉著對真神的愛，逃避一切對邪魔的迷信與對偶像的褻瀆崇拜——正是這些最激怒了全能者的慈愛。
