蓬贝迪塔有一犹太官长被蛇咬,剖十三头白驴皆是将毙之牲,城外一头又被狮子吃了。阿巴耶 说这必是「众拉比之蛇」所咬,无药可医——据传道书 10:8「拆墙垣的必为蛇所咬」。众人说是:他违了 拉夫以撒·巴尔·比斯纳 所断,终于死了。

蓬贝迪塔 城里有十三头白驴,人把牠们都剖开了,却见牠们都是 将毙之牲。

蓬贝迪塔 那一边还有一头驴,人还没有去把牠牵来,就有狮子把牠吃了。

阿巴耶 对他们说:这几样事既都凑在一处,只怕是众拉比之蛇咬了他,那是无药可医的,因为经上写着:「挖陷坑的,自己必掉在其中;拆墙垣的,必为蛇所咬」(传道书 10:8)。
Abaye said to them: Since all of these things have happened, perhaps a snake of the Rabbis bit him, for which there is no cure, as it is written: “One that digs a pit will fall into it, and one who breaches a fence will be bitten by a snake” (Ecclesiastes 10:8).

只怕这人犯了众拉比所立的一条例——那例也称作墙垣——就被蛇咬作报应。
Perhaps this person violated a rabbinic decree, also known as a fence, and was bitten by a snake as punishment.

那一咬是无药可医的。
That bite has no cure.

他们对他说:夫子啊,正是这样,因为 拉夫 死的时候,拉夫以撒·巴尔·比斯纳 断说不可把香桃木与棕枝带进婚筵配着铃响,他却去把香桃木与棕枝带进婚筵,配着铃响。
They said to him: Yes, my teacher, it is so, as when Rav died Rav Yitzḥak bar Bisna ruled that one may not bring myrtle and palm branches to a wedding hall to accompany bells, and he went and brought myrtle and palm branches to the wedding hall with bells.
-
所以有蛇咬了他。
Therefore, a snake bit him.
-
据说那官长到底死了。
And it is reported that ultimately the official died.
