(续上)瓦片上?若许可,我们就写了扔进深渊,水就会退下。没有人对他说什么。大卫说:凡知道当说什么而不说的,愿他喉咙被勒住。于是亚希多弗自己作了一个由轻及重的推论:为使丈夫与妻子和好,在 疑行淫之妇 的情形——丈夫疑妻子行淫——妥拉说:我在圣洁中写下的名,要在水上抹去;为使全世界得平安,更是许可的。他对大卫说:是许可的。

If it is permitted, we will write it and throw it into the depths, and they will subside.

大卫说:凡知道当说什么却什么也不说的人,愿他在喉咙里被勒住。

于是亚希多弗自己提出一个由轻及重的推论,说:为了使一个人与他的妻子和好,在 疑行淫之妇 的情形里,就是丈夫怀疑他的妻子行了淫,妥拉说:我在圣洁中写下的名,要在水上被抹去;那么为了给整个世界带来平安,就更是许可的了。
Then Ahithophel raised an a fortiori argument on his own and said: And just as in order to make peace between a man and his wife in the case of sota, when the husband suspects his wife of having committed adultery, the Torah said: My Name that was written in sanctity will be erased on the water to establish peace for the whole world in its entirety, all the more so it is permitted.

他对大卫说:是许可的。
He said to David: It is permitted.
