《托塞夫塔》论亚摩利人风俗续:说「我的运气啊,愿你昼夜不倦」的,涉那禁例;拉比犹大 说更重,因 גַּד 本是偶像之名(以赛亚书 65:11)。

论过亚摩利人之道之后,革玛拉 又引 《托塞夫塔》 里论亚摩利人那一章,并别处论这一题的话。
After some discussion of the ways of the Amorite, the Gemara cites additional statements from the Amorite chapter in the Tosefta and from other sources on this topic.

人若说:我的运气啊,愿你得运(גַּד גַּדִּי),愿你昼夜不倦——这话便涉「亚摩利人之道」这一条禁例。
One who says: My fortune be fortunate [gad gaddi] and be not weary by day or by night; that statement contains an element of the ways of the Amorite.

拉比犹大 说:那比「亚摩利人之道」还重,因为 גַּד 不是别的,正是拜偶像的说法,正如经上说:「但你们这些离弃耶和华、忘记我圣山的,给『时运』(גַּד)摆筵席、给『天命』(מְנִי)盛满调和酒的」(以赛亚书 65:11)。
Rabbi Yehuda says: That is more severe than the ways of the Amorite, as gad is nothing other than a term of idolatry, as it is stated: “And you that forsake the Lord, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for Gad, and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Meni” (Isaiah 65:11).
「我的运气啊,愿你得运」原文作 גַּד גַּדִּי;而以赛亚书那一节里的 גַּד,和合本译作「时运」,本是一位偶像的名。同一个字,一处是口头的吉利话,一处是偶像之名,拉比犹大 正抓住这一点。中文的「运气」与「时运」虽同源,那一句口头话与偶像之名的重合仍是译不出来的。

「גַּד גַּדִּי」这句话,其实是向偶像祷告的一样说法。
Gad gaddi is a form of prayer to an idol.
