(续上)它不合用,因为那是借着过犯来成就的诫命,这使诫命不算成就,如经上说:「你们把抢夺的、瘸腿的、有病的拿来献上为祭;我岂能从你们手中收纳呢?这是耶和华说的」(玛拉基书 1:13)。由经文中的并列推出:被抢之牲畜的法定地位等同于瘸腿的牲畜——正如瘸腿的牲畜因有残疾而无可补救、不合用,被抢的牲畜也无可补救;物主绝望之前与之后并无分别,两种情形都无可补救。

它不合用,是因为它是一条借着一件过犯来成就的诫命,这使这条诫命未得成就,正如经上所说:「你们把抢夺的、瘸腿的、有病的拿来献上为祭;我岂能从你们手中收纳呢?这是耶和华说的」(玛拉基书 1:13)。
It is unfit because it is a mitzva that comes to be fulfilled by means of a transgression, which renders the mitzva unfulfilled, as it is stated: “And you have brought that which was stolen and the lame, and the sick; that is how you bring the offering; should I accept this of your hand? says the Lord” (Malachi 1:13).
-
根据这节经里的并列,推出一头被抢之牲畜的法定地位,等同于一头瘸腿的牲畜。
Based on the juxtaposition in the verse, it is derived that the legal status of a stolen animal is equivalent to that of a lame animal.
-
正如一头瘸腿的牲畜,因为它有残疾,就无可补救、不合于使用;同样,一头被抢的牲畜也无可补救。
Just as a lame animal, because it is blemished, has no remedy and is unfit for use, so too, a stolen animal has no remedy.
-
在物主对找回被抢的牲畜陷入绝望之前,并没有分别;在绝望之后,也没有分别。
There is no difference before the owners reach a state of despair of recovering the stolen animal, and there is no difference after despair.
-
在两种情形里,都无可补救。
In both cases there is no remedy.
