改解那条 《巴拉伊塔》 的头一段:所说的是外邦债户把那作抵押的酵物存在犹太债主家里的光景,两说所争的是 拉比以撒 那一句。拉比以撒 说:债主取得所受的抵押之物、物在他手一日便算一日的主,这是从哪里得来的?经上说「日落的时候,总要把当头还他,使他用那件衣服盖着睡觉,他就为你祝福;这在耶和华你神面前就是你的义了」(申命记 24:13)。债主若不曾取得那抵押之物,还了它又有什么义可言呢——他并没有让出自己的什么。由此学得:债主是取得那抵押之物的。

不如说:这里所讲的是哪一种光景呢?
Rather, with what are we dealing here?

所讲的是那外邦债户把作抵押的酵物存在犹太债主家里的光景;两说所争的,是 拉比以撒 的那一句话。
With a situation where he, the gentile debtor, deposited the leavened bread that was serving as collateral with him, the Jewish creditor, and they disagree with regard to the statement of Rabbi Yitzḥak.

拉比以撒 说:债主取得人所交与他的抵押之物、那物在他手里一日他便算一日的主,这是从哪里得来的?
As Rabbi Yitzḥak said: From where is it derived that a creditor acquires collateral given to him, and is considered its owner so long as the item is in his possession?
-
经上说:「日落的时候,总要把当头还他,使他用那件衣服盖着睡觉,他就为你祝福;这在耶和华你神面前就是你的义了」(申命记 24:13)。
As it is stated: “You shall surely return the pledge to him when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his garment, and bless you; and it shall be a righteousness for you before the Lord your God” (Deuteronomy 24:13).
-
拉比以撒 由此推出:债主若并不曾取得那抵押之物,那么还它又有什么义可言呢?
Rabbi Yitzḥak infers: If the creditor does not acquire the collateral, then from where is the righteousness involved in returning it?
-
这样,那债主并没有让出自己的什么。
In this case, the creditor would not be giving up anything of his own.
-
由此学得:债主是取得那抵押之物的。
From here it is learned that a creditor acquires the collateral.
