「债还没有还清」「债一还清」两语,是指欠债的人自己说还了或没有还:借据未经验明,众拉比以为讨不得债,拉比犹大 以为讨得。
-
那两语的意思是:要看欠债的人说「我已还清了」,还是说「我没有还」。
It means: Until the debtor says: I repaid the debt, or, I did not repay the debt.
-
欠债的人若说借据上的债他已还清,又没有见证人在庭上验明那纸,那纸便没有价值。
If the debtor says: I repaid the debt in the promissory note and there are no witnesses to ratify the document in court, the document has no value.
-
这是众拉比的意思:未经验明的借据,逼不得欠债的人还钱。
That is the opinion of the Rabbis who hold that an unratified document cannot force a debtor to pay.
-
依 拉比犹大,借据本不必验明,欠债的人说已还清的话便不算数,债主拿那未经验明的借据仍可讨他的债。
According to Rabbi Yehuda, who holds that a document need not be ratified, the debtor’s claim that he repaid the debt is not accepted and the creditor can collect his debt with the unratified promissory note.
