4:40

quapropter competens abhibenda est talibus medela vulneribus, ne immatura curandi facilitas moitifera captis pesle nil prosit, sel segnius tractata pernicies reatu non legitimæ curationis in volvat pariter saucios et medentes. Imprimis itaque venientis ad vos, et remedium postulantis sollicite discutienda est professio, et persona decepti, ut me dela possit congruens exhiberi. Et qui satisfacturus Deo per pœnitentiam, rebaptizatum se legitime do lucrit, utrum ad hoc facinus cucurrerit, an impulsus accesserit, requiratur.

因此，對這等創傷必須施以相稱的醫治，免得醫治上過早的輕率對那些被致死之疫所擄者毫無益處，反倒使那因處置過於懈怠的毀滅，把受傷者與施醫者一同捲入不合法醫治的罪責。所以，首先當仔細審察那來到你們面前、求取補救之人的宣認，以及那受欺者的身分，好使相稱的補救得以施行。並當查問：那打算藉補贖向天主補償、合法地為自己受了重洗而痛悔的人，究竟是自己奔向此罪，還是受逼迫而陷入。

wherefore a fitting remedy must be applied to such wounds, lest a premature ease of healing avail nothing to those seized by a death-bearing plague, but rather the destruction, too sluggishly treated, involve alike the wounded and the healers in the guilt of an unlawful cure. First, therefore, the profession of one coming to you and asking a remedy, and the person of the deceived, must be carefully examined, so that a fitting remedy may be administered. And let it be inquired whether he who, intending to make satisfaction to God by penance, has lawfully grieved that he was rebaptized, ran to this crime, or approached it under compulsion.

4:41

Sciens quod se decipiat ipse, qui fallit, nihilque per nostram facilitatem tribunalis excelso judicio derogari, cui illa sunt rata, quæ pia, quæ vera, quæ justa sunt, et necessitas, aliter tra ctanda est ratio voluntatis. Deterior est autem causa illius qui forte pretio sollicitatus est, ut periret.

當知道：那欺哄人的，乃是欺哄自己；藉著我們的寬容，那至高審判台的判決絲毫無損——在那審判台前，凡虔敬的、真實的、公義的事都被認可；而對意志的衡量，則須按其必要而另作處置。但更糟的是那人的情況：他或許是受了賄賂，以致喪亡。

Knowing that he who deceives deceives himself, and that nothing is detracted, through our leniency, from the lofty judgment of the tribunal, to which those things are ratified which are pious, which are true, which are just; and the reckoning of the will must be treated otherwise according to necessity. But worse is the case of him who perchance was solicited by a price, that he should perish.

4:42

Nihil enim intentatum reliquit inimicus, cui ne de sua liceat gaudere captura, succurrendum est irretitis, et conterendus venantis est laqueus, ut in fugatim la mentantibus lapsum tam justitiæ moderatione, quam compunctione pietatis ad aulam, quam reliquerant, sit regressus, nec pudeat forsan, aut pigeat indictis jejuniorum gemitumque temporibus obedire, aut aliis observantiæ salubrioris obtemperare praeceptis, quia humilibus datur gratia, non superbis (Jacobi IV).

因為仇敵未曾留下任何未加嘗試之事；為免容他誇耀其所擄之物，必須援救那被網羅者，必須踏碎那獵者的羅網，好使那些在逃亡中為自己跌倒哀哭的人，得以返回他們所離棄的院庭——這既藉公義的節制，也藉慈憐的痛悔。也不要使他們在指定齋戒與哀歎的時期，竟羞於或厭於順從，或不肯遵行其他更有益於救靈的守規誡命，因為恩典賜給謙卑的人，不賜給驕傲的人（雅各伯書四章）。

For the enemy has left nothing unattempted; and lest it be permitted him to rejoice over his prey, the ensnared must be succored, and the snare of the hunter must be crushed, so that for those lamenting their fall in their flight there may be a return to the court which they had left, as much by the moderation of justice as by the compunction of mercy; nor let them perchance be ashamed or loath, in the appointed times of fastings and groanings, to obey, or to comply with the other precepts of a more healthful observance, since grace is given to the humble, not to the proud (James 4).

4:43

SiL ergo ruinæ suae dolore prostratus, quisquis in Christo fieri quærit erectus, et per dispensationis nostræ ministerium (quod vestram sequi convenit charitatem, nec alicui fas est vel velle, vel posse transcentere ) causasejus, qui contra apostolicam doctrinam ad iterationem se nimis infausti baptisma Lis dedidit, vel ejus, qui aliquibus argumenlis excu- sandum callide proprium putaverit esse consensum, sacerdotali vigore et humanitate tractemus, ut in eis fides (quæ nisi est una, jam nulla est adjulorio Domini judicis, ad salutem sine nostrae properationis otfensione reparetur , quia cum peccatoris a nobis satisfactio protrahitur, non praeter nostram laudem atque laetitiam mens ejus ad veniam purgalior invc nitur.

因此，凡尋求在基督內被扶起的人，就讓他俯伏在自己敗亡的悲痛中；並藉著我們聖職施恩的服事（你的愛德理當遵循，任何人都不得意願、也不得越過它）——讓我們以司祭的剛毅與仁慈處理這等人的案件：即那違背使徒教義、把自己交付於那最不祥之洗禮的重複者，或那狡猾地以某些論據自以為其同意可開脫者——好使在他們身上，信德（除非是同一個信德，否則便已是無信）能藉審判者上主之助，在不因我們的急躁而生冒犯之下得以修復、歸於救恩；因為當罪人的補贖由我們引導而出時，他的心靈被潔淨得更宜於得赦，這正帶來我們的稱頌與喜樂。

Let him therefore be prostrated by the grief of his ruin, whoever seeks to be raised up in Christ; and through the ministry of our dispensation (which it befits your charity to follow, nor is it lawful for anyone either to will or to be able to transgress it), let us treat the causes of him who, against the apostolic doctrine, gave himself over to the repetition of that most ill-omened baptism, or of him who craftily thought his own consent to be excusable by some arguments, with sacerdotal vigor and humanity, so that in them faith (which, unless it is one, is now none) may, by the help of the Lord the Judge, be repaired unto salvation without the offense of our haste; for when satisfaction is drawn out from the sinner by us, not without our praise and gladness is his mind found more purged unto pardon.

4:44

Et ideo memineritis hanc super his nos habere sententiam, ut servata discretione peccantium, non eadem cuncti, qui lapsi sunt, lance pensentur, quo niam majoris castigationis est exigendus usura, cui domus Domini commissa fuerit disciplina. Ut ergo ab Ecclesiæ summitatibus inchoemus, eos quos episcopos, presbyteros, vel diaconos fuisse con stiterit, et seu optantes forsitan, seu coactos lavacri illius unici salutarisque claruerit fecisse jacturam, et Christum, quem non solum dono regenerationis, verum etiam gratia perce;ti honoris induerant, exuisse, cum constet neminem ad secun dam tinctio nem venire potuisse, nisi se palam Christianum ne- gaverit, et professus fuerit esse paganum.

因此你們要記得，我們對這些事持此判決：在保全對罪人之區別的前提下，凡跌倒之人不可一概以同一天平衡量，因為對那受託掌管上主之家紀律的人，理當追討更重的懲處之息。那麼，讓我們從教會的高位開始：凡查明曾為主教、司鐸或執事的人，無論是出於己願抑或受逼，若顯為已使那獨一救贖之洗濯遭了沉舟之禍，且脫去了基督——他們不僅藉重生的恩賜、也藉所領職分的恩典披戴了基督——既然確知無人能受第二次浸洗，除非他公開否認自己是基督徒、並宣稱自己是外教人。

And therefore remember that we hold this sentence upon these matters: that, the distinction of sinners being preserved, not all who have lapsed are to be weighed in the same scale, since a heavier usury of chastisement is to be exacted from him to whom the discipline of the house of the Lord has been committed. That we may therefore begin from the heights of the Church: those who shall be established to have been bishops, presbyters, or deacons, and who—whether perchance desiring it, or compelled—shall be shown to have made shipwreck of that one and saving laver, and to have put off Christ, whom they had put on not only by the gift of regeneration but also by the grace of the honor they received—since it is established that no one could come to a second dipping unless he openly denied himself a Christian and professed himself a pagan.

4:45

Quod cum generaliter sit in omnibus exsecrandum, multo magis in episcopis, presbyteris et diaconibus audita saltem dictuque probatur horrendum. Sed quia idem Dominus atque Salvator clementissimus est, et ne minem vult perire, usque ad exitus sui diem in pœ nitentiam, si rcsipiscunt, jacere conveniet, nec ora tioni non modo fidelium , sed nec catechumenorum quidem omnimodis interesse, quibus communio laica in morte redhibenda est, quam rem diligentius ex plorare vel facere probatissimi sacerdotis cura de. bebit.

此事雖在眾人身上都應一概咒絕，但在主教、司鐸、執事身上，連僅僅聽聞與述說都顯為可怖。然而因為同一位主和救主是至為仁慈的，祂不願一人喪亡，所以他們若回心轉意，便當俯伏於補贖中直到離世之日，並全然不得參與——不僅不得參與信眾的祈禱，連望教者的祈禱也不得參與——而平信徒的領聖體當在臨終時歸還給他們；此事乃是最受嘉許的司祭之職責，當更勤勉地查明並施行。

Which, though it is generally to be execrated in all, much more in bishops, presbyters, and deacons is it proved horrible even merely to hear and to speak of. But because the same Lord and Savior is most clement, and wills no one to perish, it will befit them, if they come to their senses, to lie in penance even unto the day of their departure, and to be present in no wise at the prayer not only of the faithful but not even of the catechumens—to whom lay communion is to be restored at death; a matter which the care of a most approved priest must more diligently explore or perform.

4:46

De clericis autem, et monachis, aut puellis Dei, aut sæcularibus, servari præcipimus hunc tenorem, quem Nicæna synodus circa eos qui lapsi sunt, vel fuerint, servandum esse constituit, ut scilicet qui nulla nccessitate, nullius rei timore atque periculo se ut rebaptizarentur hæreticis impic dediderunt, si tamen eos ex corde pœniteat, tribus annis inter au dientes sint, septem vero annis subjaceant inter pœnitentes manibus sacerdotum, duobus etiam ad oblationes modis omnibus non sinantur, sed tantum modo popularibus in oratione socientur, nec confun datur Deo colla submittere, qui eum non timuit ab negare.

但論及聖職人員、隱修士，或獻身於天主的童貞女、或在俗教友，我們命令當遵守此例，即尼西亞會議所裁定關乎那些已跌倒或將跌倒之人當予遵守的：就是凡在毫無必要、毫無對任何事物或危難之懼怕的情況下，竟不虔地把自己交付給異端去受重洗的人，倘若仍從心痛悔，就當三年居於聽道者之列；七年俯伏於補贖者之列、在司祭按手之下；又當二年無論如何不得獲准參與奉獻禮，只可在祈禱中與會眾相聯；那不懼否認天主的人，也不該羞於向天主俯首屈頸。

But concerning clerics and monks, or maidens of God, or seculars, we command this tenor to be observed, which the Nicene synod determined was to be observed concerning those who are or shall be lapsed: namely, that those who, under no necessity, under no fear of any thing or peril, impiously gave themselves over to heretics to be rebaptized, if nonetheless they repent from the heart, be for three years among the hearers; for seven years let them lie among the penitents beneath the hands of the priests; for two years also let them in no manner be admitted to the offerings, but only be associated with the people in prayer; nor let him be confounded to bow his neck to God who did not fear to deny Him.

4:47

Quod si, ut pote mortales, intra metas præscripti temporis coeperit vitie finis urgere, sub veniendum est imploranti, et seu ab episcopo, qui poenitenliam dederit, seu ab alio, qui tamen datam esse probaverit, aut similiter presbyLero, viaticum abcunti de sæculo non negetur.

但倘若——因他們本是必死之人——在所規定期限之內生命的終結開始逼近，就必須援助那懇求之人；無論是藉那施予補贖的主教、或藉另一位仍能證明補贖已施予的人、或同樣藉一位司鐸，那臨終聖體（路費聖事）都不可拒絕給予那將要離世之人。

But if, inasmuch as they are mortal, the end of life shall begin to press within the bounds of the prescribed time, succor must be given to him who implores it; and whether by the bishop who gave the penance, or by another who shall nonetheless prove that it was given, or likewise by a presbyter, the viaticum is not to be denied to one departing from the world.

4:48

lucris autem , quibus, quod adhuc invesles sunt, a pubertate vocabulum est, seu clericis, seu laicis, aut etiam similibus puellis, quibus ignorantia suffra gatur aetatis, aliquandiu sub manus impositione de tentis, redJenda communio est, nec eorum exspe ctanda pœnitentia, quos excipit a coercitione censura, quod est a nobis provide constitutum, ne hi quibus in terreni labe contagii plus minusve restat ad vitam, dum adhuc in poenitentia sunt, poenitenda forte com- mittant.

但對於那些青年——他們因尚未長鬍鬚，自青春期便得此稱呼——無論是聖職人員或在俗教友，或也包括同樣的少女（她們有年齡的無知為其求情），凡曾在按手之下被拘留一段時日的，當歸還其領聖體之權，也不必等候他們的補贖；這些人因其年齡的審斷而豁免於懲戒——這是我們深謀遠慮所定的，免得這些在塵世污染之玷中或多或少尚有餘生的人，趁仍在補贖期間，或竟犯下將要再加痛悔之事。

But to those youths, who—because they are as yet beardless—bear from their puberty the name, whether clerics or laymen, or also like maidens, for whom the ignorance of age pleads, who have been detained for some while under the imposition of hands, communion is to be restored, nor is their penance to be awaited, whom the censure exempts from coercion—which is by us providently constituted, lest these, for whom in the defilement of earthly contagion more or less remains for life, should perchance, while they are still in penance, commit things to be repented of.

4:49

Quod si ante præfinitum pœnitentiæ tempus despectus a medicis, aut evidentibus mortis pressus indiciis, recepta quisquam communionis gratia con valescit, servemus in eo quod Nicæni canones ordi narunt, ut habeatur inter illos qui in oratione sola communicant, donec impleatur spatium temporis ei dem præstitutum. Nec catechumenos nostros, qui sub tali professione baptizati sunt, praeterimus, quia non est causa dissi milis ( sicut iidem sancti canones ordinarunt) ejus qui quolibet modo Christum, quem semel confessus est, abjurarit, tribus annis inter audientes sint, et postea cum catechumenis permittantur orare, per manus impositionem communionis catholicae gratiam recepturi.

但倘若有人在所定補贖期限之前，已被醫生放棄、或被明顯的死兆所逼，領受了領聖體之恩而後康復了，就讓我們在他身上遵守尼西亞法規所規定的：使他列於那些只在祈禱中共融的人中，直到為他所定的時段滿足。我們也不忽略我們的望教者——他們是在這樣的宣認下受了洗的——因為那以任何方式背棄了他一度宣認的基督之人，其情況並無不同（正如那同樣的神聖法規所規定）：他們當三年居於聽道者之列，此後得獲准與望教者一同祈禱，並藉按手領受大公共融之恩。

But if, before the prefixed time of penance, anyone, despaired of by the physicians or pressed by evident signs of death, having received the grace of communion, recovers, let us observe in his case what the Nicene canons ordained: that he be held among those who communicate in prayer alone, until the span of time prefixed for him be fulfilled. Nor do we pass over our catechumens, who were baptized under such a profession, since the case is not dissimilar (as the same holy canons ordained) of him who in any manner whatsoever abjured Christ, whom he had once confessed: let them be for three years among the hearers, and afterwards let them be permitted to pray with the catechumens, to receive the grace of Catholic communion through the imposition of hands.

4:50

Exceptis sane tantummodo episcopis, presbyteris, diaconibus, quibus solo mortis suæ tem pore reconciliandum esse jam diximus, exteros sive clericos, sive monachos vel monachas, seu laicos, sexus utriusque personas, quos violentia et pericuiis coactos iterationem baptismatis subiisse constiterit, vel qui aliquo commento hujusce facinoris piaculis dixerint non teneri, in poenitentia per triennium du rare decernimus, et per manus impositionem ad so cietatem recipi sacramenti.

確實，惟獨除主教、司鐸、執事之外——對於他們，我們已說過只可在其臨終之時予以和好——其餘一切人，無論聖職人員、隱修士、修女，或在俗教友、兩性中任何人，凡查明因受暴力與危難所逼而再受了洗禮的，或那以某種藉口聲稱自己不受此罪贖補之約束的，我們裁定當在補贖中持續三年，並藉按手被接納入聖事的團契。

With the sole exception, indeed, of bishops, presbyters, and deacons, for whom we have already said reconciliation is to be made only at the time of their death, all others—whether clerics, or monks, or nuns, or laypersons, persons of either sex—who shall be established to have undergone the repetition of baptism, compelled by violence and perils, or who shall have said that, by some pretext, they are not held by the expiations of this crime, we decree to continue in penance for a triennium, and to be received into the fellowship of the sacrament through the imposition of hands.

4:51

Illo per omnia custo dito, ne ex his unquam qui in qualibet ætate, alibi quam in Ecclesia catholica aut inbaptizati aut inrebaptizati sunt, ad ecclesiasticam militiam prorsus permittantur accedere, quibus satis esse debet, quod in catholicorum numerum sunt re cepti, quoniam de suo ordine et communione vi !e bitur ferre judicium, quisquis hoc violaverit anti stitum , vel qui non removerit eum quem ex his ad ministerium clericale obrepsisse cognoverit.

並當在一切事上持守此例：凡這等人，無論在何年齡、在大公教會以外的任何處所受了洗或受了重洗的，一概不得獲准親近教會的「兵役」（聖職事奉）；對他們而言，已被接納入大公信徒之數，理當已經足夠；因為凡主教中違犯此例者，或凡明知有人自這等人中潛入聖職職事而不予撤除者，將被視為對自己的職分與共融承擔判決。

That being preserved in all things, that none of these who at any age, anywhere other than in the Catholic Church, have been baptized or rebaptized, be at all permitted to approach to the ecclesiastical warfare; for whom it ought to be enough that they have been received into the number of the Catholics; since concerning his own order and communion will he be seen to bear judgment, whoever of the bishops shall have violated this, or who shall not have removed him whom he has known to have crept in from among these to the clerical ministry.

4:52

Curandum vero maxime, et omni cautela est provi dendum, ne quis fratrum coepiscoporumque nostro rum , aut etiam presbyterorum in alterius civitate vel diœcesi pœnitentem, vel sub manu positum sa cerdotis, aut eum qui reconciliatum esse se dixerit, sine episcopi vel presbyteri testimonio, et litteris aut in parochia presbyter, aut episcopus in civitate suscipiat, quod aliqua dissimulatione neglectum cui. pam tangit etiam clericorum, qui locis in quibus hoc minus curatum fuerit, commorantur.

但尤須極為謹慎、以一切戒備加以防範：勿使我們的弟兄與同主教中、甚或司鐸中任何人，在另一人的城邑或教區內接納一名補贖者、或置於司祭按手之下的人、或聲稱自己已和好的人，而不憑主教或司鐸的見證與信函——無論是堂區內的司鐸，或城邑中的主教；因為此事若因某種掩飾而被忽略，連那些居於此事較少被留意之地的聖職人員也要擔負其過。

But it must be most especially taken care of, and provided with all caution, that none of our brethren and fellow-bishops, or even of the presbyters, receive in the city or diocese of another a penitent, or one placed under the hand of a priest, or one who shall have said that he is reconciled, without the testimony and letters of a bishop or presbyter—whether the presbyter in a parish, or the bishop in a city; for, this being neglected through some dissimulation, it touches the fault even of clerics who dwell in places in which this has been less attended to.

4:53

His ilaque rite dispositis, et ad Ecclesiarum vestrarum notitiam nostra dcliberatione perlatis, parere vos convenit, qnibns licet ad animarum reparationem nihil deesse videatur, tamen si cui aliquid novi, et quod praeter- ire nos potuit, ruerit revelatum, secundum beatum Paulum apostolum (I Cor. XIV), tacente priore, fiden ter insinuet, quia Spiritus sanctus ubi vun inspirat, maxime cum sua causa tractatur, nec nos pigcbit audire, et si qua sunt omissa , non arroganter ab nuere, sed rationabiliter ordinare.

因此，這些事既已妥善安排，並藉我們的審議傳達到你們各教會的知悉中，你們理當順從——對你們而言，雖然似乎為救靈魂之事並無欠缺，然而倘若有任何新的、可能逃過我們之事被向任何人啟示了，就照至福使徒保祿所言（格林多前書十四章），前者既靜默，那人便當有信心地提出，因為聖神隨己意所願而吹拂，尤其當論及祂自己的事業時；我們也不以聆聽為煩，倘若有所遺漏，便不傲慢地拒絕，而合理地予以整頓。頒於三月望日，最顯赫之士狄納米烏斯與西斐迪烏斯任執政官之年。（基督紀元四八八年。）教宗西瑪庫諭令。（羅馬會議。基督紀元四九九年。）於最顯赫之士保利努斯執政期之後，於朔日。

These things therefore being duly arranged, and brought by our deliberation to the knowledge of your Churches, it behooves you to obey—to you, to whom, although nothing seems to be lacking for the reparation of souls, yet if anything new, and which could escape us, shall have been revealed to any one, according to the blessed Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 14), the former being silent, let him confidently suggest it, because the Holy Spirit inspires where He wills, especially when His own cause is treated; nor will it irk us to hear, and, if anything has been omitted, not arrogantly to refuse, but reasonably to set it in order.

4:54

Martii in basilica beati Petri apostoli, synodo præsidente bea tissimo papa Symmacho, Fulgentius archidiaconus dixit : Beatitudo vestra, directis antehac per provin cias auctoritatibus, frequenter Italiæ sacerdotum svnoduin convocavit, quorum præsentia in vestris videtur oculis constituta; nunc beatitudo vestra, quae ad ecclesiasticas indemnitates, vel ad pacem totius Ecclesiæ pertinent, sive concordiam dignetur tracta- biliter ordinare. Acclamatum est ab omnibus episco pis et presbyteris, Exaudi, Christe, Symmacho vita, dictum est decies. Cujus sedem, et annos, dictum est octies. Ut facias rogamus, dictum est decies. Symmachus episcopus Ecclesiæ catholicæ urbis Romæ dixit:

三月某日，在聖使徒伯多祿的大殿中，由至福的教宗西馬庫斯（Symmachus）主持會議，總執事富爾根提烏斯（Fulgentius）說：尊座先前已頒發訓令通達各行省，屢次召集義大利眾主教的會議，他們如今的臨在已顯然立於尊座眼前；如今願尊座屈尊以可行的方式，安排凡關乎眾教會的安全、或關乎全教會的和平與和睦之事。眾主教與司鐸一同歡呼：「基督啊，求祢垂聽；願西馬庫斯長壽」──呼喊了十次。「願保全他的職位與年壽」──呼喊了八次。「我們懇求祢施行」──呼喊了十次。羅馬城大公教會的主教西馬庫斯說：

On a day of March, in the basilica of the blessed apostle Peter, with the most blessed pope Symmachus presiding over the synod, Fulgentius the archdeacon said: Your Beatitude, having earlier dispatched directives through the provinces, has frequently convened a synod of the bishops of Italy, whose presence now appears established before your eyes; let Your Beatitude now deign to set in order, in a workable manner, those matters that pertain to the security of the churches, or to the peace of the whole Church, or to its concord. It was acclaimed by all the bishops and presbyters: 'Hear, O Christ; long life to Symmachus' — said ten times. 'Preserve his see and his years' — said eight times. 'We beg you to act' — said ten times. Symmachus, bishop of the catholic Church of the city of Rome, said:

4:55

Concilium dilectionis vestræ, neglecta biemis asperitate, sollicitudo nostra pro ecclesiastica indemnitate specialiter congregavit, ut episcopalem ambitum, et confusionis incertum vel popularem tumultum, quem per subreptionem constat exortum, communicato pariter tractatu, in futurum possimus robuste ac vivaciter amputare, atque ideo caveamus in posterum, ne subversio disciplinæ, aut audacia præsumentum gestiat tentare similia, et pari dona tione tractemus, expressis scilicet sententiis sancien tes quid circa Romani episcopi ordinationem debeat custodiri. Universi episcopi vel presbyteri dixerunt, Ut fiat rogamus , dictum est decies. Ut scandala amputentur rogamus, dictum est novies.

承蒙我們對教會安全的關切，不顧嚴冬的酷寒，特別召集了你們眾愛弟兄的會議，為要藉著共同的商議，能堅定而有力地除去日後對主教之位的鑽營、混亂的不定、以及民眾的騷動——這一切顯然是藉著暗中的詭計而生的；並使我們對將來有所防範，免得紀律遭顛覆，或膽大妄為之人妄想再行類似之事；又使我們以同樣的法令，藉著明確訂立的裁決，規定關於羅馬主教選立所當遵守之事。眾主教與司鐸都說：「我們懇求成全此事」──呼喊了十次。「我們懇求除去這些絆腳石」──呼喊了九次。

The synod of your charity, with the harshness of winter disregarded, our solicitude for the security of the Church has specially gathered, so that the canvassing for the episcopate, the uncertainty of confusion or the popular tumult — which is agreed to have arisen by underhanded scheming — we may, by a deliberation shared in common, be able firmly and vigorously to cut away for the future; and that we may therefore take heed for the time to come, lest a subversion of discipline, or the audacity of presumptuous men, should be eager to attempt similar things; and that we may by a like enactment determine, by setting forth explicit judgments, what ought to be observed concerning the ordination of the bishop of Rome. All the bishops and presbyters said: 'We beg that it be done' — said ten times. 'We beg that the scandals be cut away' — said nine times.

4:56

Ut ambitus exstinguatur rogamus, dictum est duodecies. Exaudi, Cbriste, Symmacho vita, dictum est sexies. Cujus sedem, et annos, dictum est quinquies. Ut de præ sentia fiat, dictum est decies. Symmachus episcopus dixit : Quoniam fraternitas vestra curam provisionis nostrae suis exhortationibus incitavit, et parilem circa Ecclesiae tranquillitatem, Dei nostri contemplatione, animum præstat, sicut præfati sumus, deliberatione in præsenti habita, quid placeat ex omnibus vestris informate sententiis, qua; in hoc venerabili concilio per ecclesiastica re citentur officia. Cumque surrexissent, et paulo post iterum consedissent, :Emilianus notarius synodi de creta vulgavit. I.

「我們懇求杜絕鑽營」──呼喊了十二次。「基督啊，求祢垂聽；願西馬庫斯長壽」──呼喊了六次。「願保全他的職位與年壽」──呼喊了五次。「願此事在我們面前成就」──呼喊了十次。西馬庫斯主教說：既然你們眾弟兄以勸勉激發了我們籌劃之心，又懷著對我們天主的默觀，對教會的安寧表現出同樣的心志，那麼──正如我們先前所言──如今既已商議，請告知我們：在你們眾人的裁決中，何者為可取，好使其在這可敬的會議中藉教會的職務宣讀。眾人起立，少頃又坐下，會議的書記官艾米利亞努斯（Aemilianus）便宣布了眾項決議。第一條。

'We beg that the canvassing be extinguished' — said twelve times. 'Hear, O Christ; long life to Symmachus' — said six times. 'Preserve his see and his years' — said five times. 'Let it be done in our presence' — said ten times. Bishop Symmachus said: Since your brotherhood has by its exhortations stirred up the care of our provision, and, with our God in contemplation, shows an equal mind toward the tranquillity of the Church, so — as we have already said — with deliberation now held, instruct us as to what among all your judgments is pleasing, that it may be recited in this venerable council through the ecclesiastical offices. And when they had risen, and a little afterward sat down again, Aemilianus, notary of the synod, promulgated the decrees. I.

4:57

Propter frequentes ambitus quorumdam, atque Ecclesiæ nuditatem, vel populi collisionem, quæ molesta incompetenter episcopatum desiderantium generaviL aviditas, ut exstinguatur futuris præsumptio tam perniciosa temporibus : constituit sancta syno dus, ut si quis presbyter, aut diaconus, aut clericus, papa incolumi, et eo inconsulto, aut subscriptionem pro Romano pontificatu commodare, aut pitacio pro mittere, aut sacramentum præbere tentaverit, aut ali quod certe suffragium polliceri, vel de hac causa priva t is conventiculis factis deliberare atque decernere, loci sui dignitate vel communione privetur. Universa syno dus surgens acclamavit, Exaudi, Christe, Symmacho vta, dictum decies.

由於某些人屢次的鑽營，以及教會的被剝奪、民眾的衝突——這一切是覬覦主教職位之人那不合宜而擾人的貪婪所生的——為使這等極其有害的妄為在將來被杜絕，神聖的會議裁定：若有任何司鐸、執事或聖職人員，在教宗在世且未經諮詢他的情況下，膽敢為羅馬教宗之位簽署，或以字據許諾，或獻上誓言，或竟應許任何形式的支持，或為此事召開私下的密會而商議與決斷，便當被剝奪其職位的尊榮與共融。全會議起立歡呼：「基督啊，求祢垂聽；願西馬庫斯長壽」──呼喊了十次。

On account of the frequent canvassings of certain men, and the stripping of the Church, and the clashing of the people, which the troublesome and unfitting greed of those coveting the episcopate has bred — in order that so pernicious a presumption may be extinguished for future times — the holy synod has decreed: that if any presbyter, or deacon, or cleric, while the pope is alive and without consulting him, shall attempt either to lend a subscription for the Roman pontificate, or to promise by a written pledge, or to offer an oath, or assuredly to promise any kind of support, or in private gatherings held on this matter to deliberate and to decide, he shall be deprived of the dignity and communion of his rank. The whole synod, rising, acclaimed: 'Hear, O Christ; long life to Symmachus' — said ten times.

4:58

Hic pax cum Symmacho, dictum quindecies. Cujus sedem et annos, dictum octies. Pari severitate feriendo eum qui, hoc vivo ( sicuLi dictum est) pontifice , quolibet modo fuerit ambisse convi ctus aut certe tentasse, omnibus pariter hujus cui pæreis anathematis pocna plectendis. Symmachus episcopus dixit: Ergo universitati pla cet et ab omnibus recognoscitur, vel probatur ista sententia? Universa synodus dixit : Placet, et quod omnibus placct, fiat. II. Si quod absit.) transitus papæ inopinatus eve nerit, ut de sui electione successoris, ut supra placuit, non possit ante dccernere, siquidem in unum totius inclinaverit ecclesiastici ordinis electio, consecretur electus episcopus.

「願與西馬庫斯同享平安」──呼喊了十五次。「願保全他的職位與年壽」──呼喊了八次；並以同樣的嚴厲懲處那人：他若在此教宗在世時（如前所言），以任何方式被定罪為曾行鑽營、或確曾企圖之──凡犯此罪者，皆當一同受絕罰之刑。西馬庫斯主教說：那麼，這項裁決全會眾是否中意，是否為眾人所承認與贊同？全會議說：中意；凡眾人所中意的，願其成就。第二條。倘若（願天主不容）教宗驟然離世，以致他未能如上文所定，預先就其繼任者的選立作出決斷，那麼，若全體教會品級的選舉確已歸向一人，便當祝聖那位當選的主教。

'Here is peace with Symmachus' — said fifteen times. 'Preserve his see and his years' — said eight times; with the like severity to be inflicted upon him who, while this pontiff is alive (as has been said), shall in any manner be convicted of having canvassed or assuredly of having attempted it — all alike who are guilty of this offense being to be smitten with the penalty of anathema. Bishop Symmachus said: Therefore does this judgment please the whole assembly, and is it acknowledged and approved by all? The whole synod said: It pleases; and what pleases all, let it be done. II. If (which God forbid) the unexpected passing of the pope should occur, so that he could not decide beforehand concerning the election of his successor, as was approved above — if indeed the election of the entire ecclesiastical order shall have inclined toward one man, let the elected bishop be consecrated.

4:59

Si enim, ut fieri solet, studia coe- perint esse diversa eorum de quibus certamen emer serit, vincat sententia plurimorum, sic tamen ut sa cerdotio careat, qui captus promissione, non nocto judicio de electione decreverit. Synodus dixit : Pla cet, dictum est decies. III. Propter occultas autem fraudes, et conjuratio num secretas insidias,quashujus sententia districtio nis consequitur, si quis ad ecclesiasticam pertulerit notitiam, consilia eorum qui contra hanc synodum de pontificali egerint ambitu, et rationabili probatione convicerit, particeps actionis hujusmodi, non solum purgatus ab omni culpa sit, sed etiam remuneratione, quæ non indigna sit, sublevctur.

因為若如常情所有，那些引起爭執之人的黨派之心開始分歧，便當以多數的裁決為準──但須如此：凡受許諾所誘，未以公正無偏的判斷而對選舉作出決斷者，便當喪失司鐸之職。會議說：中意──呼喊了十次。第三條。再者，鑑於隱藏的欺詐與陰謀的暗中圈套（此裁決的嚴厲乃針對此），若有人將那些違背本會議、為教宗之位行鑽營者的密謀呈報教會，並以合理的證據將他們定罪，那麼，作為此類舉發的參與者，不僅當被洗清一切罪責，更當以不致不相稱的酬賞予以獎勵。

For if, as it commonly happens, the partisanships of those over whom the contest has arisen should begin to be divided, let the judgment of the majority prevail — yet in such a way that he forfeit the priesthood who, ensnared by a promise, shall have decided concerning the election not by an unbiased judgment. The synod said: It pleases — said ten times. III. Moreover, on account of hidden frauds and the secret snares of conspiracies, which the strictness of this judgment follows: if anyone shall bring to the notice of the Church the counsels of those who have engaged in canvassing for the pontificate against this synod, and shall convict them by reasonable proof, then, being a sharer in an action of this kind, let him not only be cleared of all blame, but also be rewarded with a recompense that is not unworthy.

4:60

Universa synodus surgens acclamavit : Placent omnia ; et adjecit : Exaudi, Christe, Symmacho vita, dictum est trede cies. Ut ita serventur rogamus, dictum est dccics. Ut nullus aliter ad episcopatum Romanum deinceps veniat, precamur, dictum est decies. Ut decreta nostra confirmes, rogamus, dictum est decies. Symmachus episcopus Ecclesiae catholicæ urbis Romæ dixit : Acclamationes vestras, synodique judi cium praesentia gesta suscipient.

全會議起立歡呼：這一切都使我們中意；又補充說：「基督啊，求祢垂聽；願西馬庫斯長壽」──呼喊了十三次。「我們懇求如此遵守」──呼喊了十次。「我們祈求此後無人以別的途徑登上羅馬主教之位」──呼喊了十次。「我們懇求祢確認我們的決議」──呼喊了十次。羅馬城大公教會的主教西馬庫斯說：眼前的記錄將載錄你們的歡呼與會議的裁決。

The whole synod, rising, acclaimed: All these things please us; and it added: 'Hear, O Christ; long life to Symmachus' — said thirteen times. 'We beg that they be so kept' — said ten times. 'We pray that henceforth no one come to the Roman episcopate otherwise' — said ten times. 'We beg that you confirm our decrees' — said ten times. Symmachus, bishop of the catholic Church of the city of Rome, said: The present record shall receive your acclamations and the judgment of the synod.

4:61

Et adjecit, ca quæ ad sopiendos veternosæ præsumptionis errores, vel infensos rebus ecclesiasticis ægritudinis morbos, quibus universalis afficiebatur Ecclesiæ deliberatio religioni congrua, patique constituit, firmitatem per petim sortientur, ut præstante Deo quem custodem rerum constat bonarum, synodalis ordinatio vigeat, atque omnes, sine personæ alicujns distinctione ve nire præsumpserit, indita superius districtione plc ctetur. Et subscripscrunt episcopi numero 75. Cælius Symmachus, episcopus sanctae Eccleshe catholicae urbis Romæ, his constitutis synodalibus a me probatis atque firmatis consentiens sub scripsi.

他又補充說：凡他為平息那遲鈍妄為的謬誤、以及那敵視教會事務、令全教會合乎宗教的審議遭受折磨之疾病的諸般病症所裁定之事，皆當獲得永久的穩固；如此，藉著天主——眾所公認為善事的守護者——的恩賜，這會議的法令得以興盛；凡不分任何人身分，膽敢違背它者，皆當受上文所定的嚴厲懲處。眾主教簽署，計七十五人。凱里烏斯·西馬庫斯（Caelius Symmachus），羅馬城大公聖教會的主教，贊同這些會議的決議，經我核准並確認，特此簽署。

And he added: those things which it has determined for the lulling to rest of the errors of a sluggish presumption, and of the diseases of a sickness hostile to ecclesiastical affairs — by which the deliberation of the universal Church, fitting to religion, was afflicted and made to suffer — shall obtain perpetual firmness; so that, by the favor of God, who is acknowledged to be the guardian of good things, the synodal ordinance may flourish, and all who, without distinction of any person, shall presume to come against it, shall be smitten by the strictness set down above. And the bishops subscribed, seventy-five in number. Caelius Symmachus, bishop of the holy catholic Church of the city of Rome, consenting to these synodal enactments, approved and confirmed by me, have subscribed.

juniore cos., sub die VIII iduum Novembrium, in basilica beati Petri apostoli, præsi dente venerabili viro papa Symmacho, una cum ve nerabilibus viris episcopis, Residentibus etiam presbyteris: Astantibus quoque diaconibus, Anastasio, Hor misda, Joanne, et Agapeto. SymmachuscpiscopusEc clesix catholicæ urhis Romæ dixit: I.

在十一月「望日」前第八日，於聖使徒伯多祿的大殿中，由可敬之士教宗西馬庫斯主持，與眾可敬的主教們一同，眾司鐸也在座，眾執事──安納斯塔西烏斯、霍爾米斯達（Hormisda）、若望與阿加佩圖斯──也侍立在旁，羅馬城大公教會的主教西馬庫斯說：第一條。

on the eighth day before the Ides of November, in the basilica of the blessed apostle Peter, with the venerable man pope Symmachus presiding, together with the venerable men, the bishops, and with the presbyters also seated, and the deacons likewise standing by — Anastasius, Hormisda, Joannes, and Agapetus — Symmachus, bishop of the catholic Church of the city of Rome, said: I.

4:70

Bene quidem fraternitas vestra ecclesiasticis legibus obsecuta sub divini timore judicii quæ erant statuenda, defi nivit, et ad justitiæ cumulum pervenit, dum sufli cienter universa complectitur, nec adjectione indiget plenitudo, maxime de clericis, quos amor domina- tionis invasit, et jugum disciplinæ Ecclesiasticæ fe cit respuere, quos propterea schisma fecisse apnd vos constitit, quibus misericordiam tamen quam Deus mandat universis impendi, sicut oportuit, non negastis, si duritia cordis corum non sibi acquirat pænam, dum contemnit oblata remedia quorum ex cessus enarrare dillicile est. Unum tamen, quod occurrit, venerando ordini vestro intimare non diftero.

誠然，你們眾弟兄在天主審判的敬畏中，順從教會的法律，已善加界定當立之事，並臻於公義的頂峰，因為它充分地涵蓋了一切，這完備已無需增添──尤其關乎那些被統治慾所侵入、以致拋棄教會紀律之軛的聖職人員；正因此，在你們中間確認他們已造成了分裂。然而，天主所命當向眾人施行的憐憫，你們也照理未曾向他們拒絕──只要他們心中的剛硬不為自己招致刑罰，他們既藐視所提供的補救（其過犯難以盡述）。然而有一事浮現於我心，我不延遲告知你們可敬的品級。

Indeed your brotherhood, obedient to the ecclesiastical laws under the fear of the divine judgment, has well defined the things that were to be established, and has reached the summit of justice, while it sufficiently embraces all matters, and the fulness needs no addition — especially concerning those clerics whom love of domination has invaded, and has made them spurn the yoke of ecclesiastical discipline; for which reason it was established among you that they had made a schism. Yet the mercy which God commands to be shown to all, as was fitting, you did not deny to them — if the hardness of their heart does not procure for itself a penalty, while it despises the remedies offered, the excesses of whom it is difficult to recount. One thing, however, which has occurred to me, I do not delay to make known to your venerable order.

4:71

Dixerunt inter alia scripturam quamdam illustris memorie Basilium quasi pro ecclesiasticæ amore substantiæ conscripsisse, in qua nullus Romanæ Ec clesiæ nec interfuit, nec subscripsit antistes. per quem potuisset sortiri legitimam firmitatem. Ne ergo inde disputem, unde potest vestrum judicare cond lium, requiratur, et referatur in medium, ut lectione agnoscatis, cujusmodi possit habere substantiam. Sancta synodus respondit: Deferatur in medium, ut cujusmodi sit, possit agnosci; et dum diceret, Hor misda diaconus recitavit. II.

他們在別的事中說：某位名望卓著、堪資紀念的巴西利烏斯（Basilius），似乎出於對教會財產的關愛，草擬了一份文件，其中卻無一羅馬教會的高級教士參與或簽署，本可藉其得獲合法的效力。因此，為使我不爭辯那本可由你們的會議裁定之事，請將它尋出並呈於眾人之前，好讓你們藉宣讀辨明它能有怎樣的效力。神聖的會議回答說：請呈於眾人之前，好辨明它是怎樣的文件；正當他說話時，執事霍爾米斯達將它朗讀出來。第二條。

They have said, among other things, that a certain Basilius, of illustrious memory, had drawn up a document as if out of love for the property of the Church, in which no prelate of the Roman Church either took part or subscribed, through whom it could have obtained legitimate firmness. Therefore, lest I should debate that matter on which your council can pass judgment, let it be sought out and brought into the midst, so that by its reading you may recognize what kind of substance it can have. The holy synod answered: Let it be brought into the midst, so that what kind it is may be recognized; and while he was speaking, Hormisda the deacon read it aloud. II.

4:72

Cum in unum apud bea tum Petrum apostolum resedissent, sublimis, et emi nentissimus vir, præfectus prætorio, atque patricius, agens etiam vices præcellentissimi regis Odoacris, Basilius dixit :

當他們在聖使徒伯多祿的聖所中聚集一處而坐時，那位崇高而至為卓越之士、禁衛軍長官兼貴族、又代行至尊國王奧多亞克（Odoacer）職權的巴西利烏斯說：

When they had sat together in one place at the shrine of the blessed apostle Peter, the exalted and most eminent man, the praetorian prefect and patrician, also acting in the place of the most excellent king Odoacer, Basilius said:

4:73

Quanquam studii nostri, et religionis intersit, ut in episcopatus electione concordia prin cipaliter servetur Ecclesiæ, ne per occasionem sedi tionis status civitatis vocetur in dubium, tamen ad monitionem beatissimi viri papae nostri Simplicii, quam ante oculos semper habere debemus, hoc no bis meministis sub obtestatione fuisse mandatum, propter illum strepitum, et venerabilis Ecclesiæ de trimentum, si eum de hac luce transire contigerit, non sine nostra consultatione cujuslibet celebretur electio. Et cum legeret, Cresconius episcopus civita tis Tudertinae Ecclesiae, surgens e consessu dixit:

雖然這關乎我們的熱忱與宗教：在主教的選立中，當首要地在教會中保全和睦，免得藉著叛亂的機會使城邦的安定陷於可疑；然而你們記得，藉著至福之士我們的教宗辛普利奇烏斯（Simplicius）的告誡──這是我們當常置於眼前的──此項囑託曾以鄭重的誓言加於我們：為防那騷動及對可敬教會的損害，倘若他離開此世之光，無論何人的選立，皆不可未經我們的諮商而舉行。當他讀畢，圖德城教會的主教克雷斯科尼烏斯從座位起立說：

Although it pertains to our zeal and to religion that in the election of the episcopate concord should principally be preserved in the Church, lest by occasion of sedition the standing of the city be called into doubt, nevertheless you remember that, by the admonition of the most blessed man our pope Simplicius — which we ought always to keep before our eyes — this charge was laid upon us under solemn adjuration: that, on account of that tumult and the detriment to the venerable Church, should it happen that he depart from this light, no election of anyone whatsoever should be carried out without our consultation. And when he had read this, Cresconius, bishop of the church of the city of Tuder, rising from his seat, said:

4:74

Hic perpendat sancta synodus, uti prætermissis per sonis religiosis, quibus maxime cura est de tanto pontifice, in suam redigerent potestatem Quod contra canones esse manifestum est. Item Hormisda diaconus legit. Ne quid confusionis, atque dispendii venerabilis Ecclesia sustineret, miramur prætermis sis nobis quidquam fuisse tentatum, cum sacerdote nostro superstite nibil debuisset assumere. Quare, si amplitudini vestræ, vel sanclitati placet, incolu mia omnia, quæ adfuturi antistitis electionem respi ciunt, religiosa oneratione servemus, hanc legem specialiter præferentes, quam nobis hæredibusque nostris Chnstianæ mentis devotione sancimus.

在此，願神聖的會議仔細權衡：他們竟越過那些虔誠之人──就是對如此尊貴的教宗最為關切者──而將此事歸入自己的權柄之下；這顯然是違背教規的。同樣，執事霍爾米斯達讀道：「為免可敬的教會遭受任何混亂或損失，我們驚訝竟越過我們而有所企圖，因為當我們的司鐸仍在世時，本不該擅自有所作為。因此，若蒙閣下或聖座所願，讓我們藉一項虔誠的義務，保全凡關乎未來高級教士選立的一切事務不受損害，並特別提出此項法令，這是我們以基督徒之心的虔敬，為我們自己及我們的繼承人所訂立的。」

Here let the holy synod weigh carefully how, with the religious persons passed over — those whose care for so great a pontiff is greatest — they should reduce the matter into their own power; which is manifestly against the canons. Likewise Hormisda the deacon read: 'Lest the venerable Church should sustain any confusion or loss, we marvel that, with ourselves passed over, anything was attempted, since, while our priest survives, nothing ought to have been undertaken. Wherefore, if it please your magnificence or your holiness, let us preserve unharmed, by a religious obligation, all things that look to the election of the future prelate, putting forward this law especially, which we ordain for ourselves and our heirs with the devotion of a Christian mind.'

4:75

Ne unquam prædium, seu rusticum, scu urbanum, vel ornamenta, aut ministeria Ecclesiarum , quæ nunc sunt, vel quæ ex quibuslibet titulis ad Eccle siarum jura pervenerint, ab eo qui nunc antistes sui. electione communi fuerit ordinandus, et illis qui fu turis sæculis sequentur, qUocunque titulo atque com mento alienare voluerit, inefficax atque irritum ju dicetur, sitque facienti, vel consentienti, accipienti ane anathema. Maximus episcopus Bledanæ Ecclesia dixit: Modo sancta synodus dignetur edicere, licuit laico homini anathema in ordinem ecclesiasticum dictare! Aut si potuit laicus sacerdoti anathema di cere, et contra canones (quod c'i non competebas constituere ?

凡如今將藉公共選舉受立為高級教士者，以及將來歷代繼任之人，若以任何名義或藉口，意圖轉讓任何田產，無論鄉間或城內，或教會的裝飾與器皿──即如今所有的、或由任何名目歸入教會權利的──皆當判為無效、不生效力且作廢；行此事者、或贊同者、或接受者，皆當受絕罰。布雷拉教會的主教馬克西穆斯說：願神聖的會議如今屈尊宣示：一個平信徒對教會的品級宣告絕罰，這是否合法？或者一個平信徒竟能對司鐸宣告絕罰，並違背教規（這本不相宜）而訂立任何規章？

That never shall it be deemed valid, but adjudged ineffectual and void, if he who is now to be ordained prelate by the common election, and those who in future ages shall follow, should wish, under any title or pretext whatsoever, to alienate any estate, whether rural or urban, or the ornaments or vessels of the Churches, which now exist or which from any titles shall have come to the rights of the Churches; and let there be anathema for the one doing it, or consenting, or receiving. Maximus, bishop of the church of Blera, said: Let the holy synod now deign to declare, was it lawful for a layman to pronounce anathema upon the ecclesiastical order? Or if a layman could pronounce anathema upon a priest, and contrary to the canons (which is not fitting) establish anything?

4:76

Dicite, vobis quid videtur de me? Li cuit laico legem dare ? Sancta synodus dixit: Non licuit; et adjecit: Lege sequentia. Hormisda diaco nus legit. Et is qui prædium rusticum vel urbanum juris ecclesiastici fuerit consecutus, noverit se nulla iege, vel præscriptione munitum, sed sive is qui alienaverit, sive qui eum sequentur, voluntate con traria prædium hujusmodi alienatum revocarc tenta verit, id cum fructibns restituat, qui illud fuerit con secutus. Et cum legeret, Slephanus e[ iscopus Venu sinæ Ecclesiæ, surgens e consessu, dixit, Perlegatur. Hormisda diaconus legit. Quam etiam poenam placuit accipientes hæredes, prohæredesque respicere.

請告訴我，你們對我有何看法？平信徒立定法律，這是否合法？神聖的會議說：這不合法；又補充說：請讀以下的條文。執事霍爾米斯達讀道：凡獲得屬教會權利的鄉間或城內田產者，當知他不受任何法律或時效的保障；無論是轉讓它的人，或繼他而來、以相反的意願企圖收回此類已轉讓田產之人，他都當將其連同收益歸還給那獲得它的人。當他讀畢，維努西亞（Venusia）教會的主教斯德望從座位起立說：請通篇宣讀。執事霍爾米斯達讀道：此項刑罰，我們也樂見那些接受的繼承人及繼承人的後嗣加以留意。

Tell me, what seems to you concerning me? Was it lawful for a layman to lay down a law? The holy synod said: It was not lawful; and it added: Read what follows. Hormisda the deacon read: And he who shall have obtained a rural or urban estate of ecclesiastical right, let him know that he is protected by no law or prescription; but whether it be he who alienated it, or those who shall follow him, who by a contrary will shall attempt to reclaim an estate of this kind that has been alienated, let him restore it together with its fruits to the one who shall have obtained it. And when he had read this, Stephanus, bishop of the church of Venusia, rising from his seat, said: Let it be read through. Hormisda the deacon read: This penalty also it has pleased us that the receiving heirs and the heirs' heirs should regard.

4:77

In qua re cuilihet clerico rum contradicendi libera sit facultas. Iniquum est enim, et sacrilegii instar, ut quæ vel pro salute, vel re pie animarum suarum unusquisque vcnerabili Ecclesie pauperum causa contuferit, aut certe re liquerit, ab iis quos hoc maxime servare convene rat, in altitudine transferatur. Plane quæcunque iu gemmis, vel auro atque argento, nec non et vesti bus minus apta usibus, vel ornalui videbuntur Ec clesiæ, quæ servari, ac diu manere non possunt, sub jusia æstimatione vendantur, et erogatio reli giuse proficiat. Cumque lecta fuisset, Laurentius Mediolanensis Ecclesiæ dixit:

在此事上，願任何聖職人員都有自由提出異議的權利。因為這是不義的，無異於褻瀆：凡各人為靈魂的救恩、或為靈魂的虔敬福祉、為貧者的緣故，捐給或確已遺贈給可敬教會之物，竟被那些本最當保全它的人挪作高傲之用。誠然，凡寶石、金銀，以及衣飾中，顯然不甚適於教會用途或裝飾、且不能保存與久存之物，當以公正的估價變賣，所得款項當為宗教而善用。當這條文宣讀完畢，米蘭教會的主教勞倫提烏斯說：

In which matter, let there be free liberty for any of the clerics to object. For it is iniquitous, and tantamount to sacrilege, that what each man shall have conferred — or assuredly bequeathed — to the venerable Church, whether for the salvation, or for the pious welfare of his soul, for the cause of the poor, should be transferred into loftiness by those by whom it most chiefly ought to have been preserved. Clearly, whatever in gems, or gold and silver, and also in vestments, shall seem less suited to the uses or adornment of the Church, things that cannot be preserved and long endure, let them be sold under a just valuation, and let the disbursement profit religiously. And when this had been read, Laurentius, bishop of the church of Milan, said:

4:78

Ista scriptura nullum Romanas civitatis potuit ohligare pont fieem, quia non licuit laico statuendi in Ecclesia, præter papam Romanum habere aliquam potestatem, cui obsequen di manet necessitas, non auctoritas imperandi, maxime, cum nec papa Romanus subscripserit, nec alicujus secundum canones metropolitani legatur a sensus. Petrus episcopus Ravennatis Ecclesie dixit: Scriptura quæ in nostra congregatione vulgata est, nullis eam viribus subsistere manifestum est, quia nec canonibus convenit, et a laica persona con cepta videtur, maxime quia in ea nullus præsul sedis apostolicæ interfuisse, vel propria subscriptio ne finnasse monstratur. Eulalius episcopus Syracu- sanæ Ecclesiæ dixit :

這份文件不能約束羅馬城的任何教宗，因為平信徒無權在教會中訂立任何規章，除了羅馬教宗以外；對教宗，所存的是順從的必要，而非發號施令的權柄──尤其因為羅馬教宗既未簽署，照教規也讀不到任何首席主教的同意。拉文納（Ravenna）教會的主教伯多祿說：在我們集會中宣布的那份文件，顯然毫無效力，因為它既不合教規，又似出自一位平信徒之手；尤其因為其中顯不出任何宗座的高級教士曾參與，或以己之簽署加以確認。敘拉古（Syracuse）教會的主教歐拉里烏斯（Eulalius）說：

This document could bind no pontiff of the Roman city, because it was not lawful for a layman to have any power of establishing anything in the Church, apart from the Roman pope, to whom the necessity of compliance remains, not the authority of commanding — especially since neither did the Roman pope subscribe, nor is the assent of any metropolitan, according to the canons, to be read. Petrus, bishop of the church of Ravenna, said: The document which was published in our assembly, it is manifest that it subsists by no force, because it neither agrees with the canons, and seems to have been conceived by a lay person, especially because in it no prelate of the apostolic see is shown to have taken part, or to have confirmed it by his own subscription. Eulalius, bishop of the church of Syracuse, said:

4:79

Scriptura quae in sacerdotali concilio recitata est, evidentissimis documentis con stat invalida. Primum quod contra Patrum regulas a laicis, quamvis religiosis, quibus nulla de ecclesia sticis facultatibus aliquid disponendi legitur unquam attributa facultas, facta videtur ; deinde, quod nul lius præsulis apostolicae sedis subscriptione firmata docetur. Quod si cujuslibet provinciae sacerdotes, intra suos terminos concilio habito, quidquid sine metropolitani sui antistitis auctoritate tentaverint, iri itum esse debere Patres SS. sanxerunt;

在司鐸的會議中宣讀的那份文件，由最明顯的證據顯為無效。其一，因為它顯然是由平信徒所立──縱然他們虔誠──而從未讀到曾賦予他們任何權柄，去處置任何關乎教會資財之事；其二，因為它顯然未經任何宗座高級教士的簽署確認。然而，若眾聖父已裁定：凡任何行省的司鐸在自己界內召開會議、未經自己都主教權柄所企圖之事，皆當作廢；

The document which was recited in the priestly council is shown by the most evident proofs to be invalid. First, because it appears to have been made by laymen — however religious — to whom it is nowhere read that any power was granted of disposing anything concerning ecclesiastical resources; then, because it is shown to be confirmed by the subscription of no prelate of the apostolic see. But if the holy Fathers have sanctioned that whatever the priests of any province shall have attempted, within their own bounds, with a council held, without the authority of their own metropolitan bishop, ought to be void;
