Matthew 5

King James Version




5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
1耶穌一見群眾，就上了山，坐下；他的門徒上他跟前來，

11幾時人為了我而辱罵迫害你們，捏造一切壞話毀謗你們，你們是有福的。

5:1 耶穌看見這許多的人、就上了山、既已坐下、門徒到他跟前來。
5:2 他就開口教訓他們說、
5:3 虛心的人有福了．因為天國是他們的。
5:4 哀慟的人有福了．因為他們必得安慰。

The Oxford Dictionary of  Saints

*19th century English hymn "Good King Wenceslas" by John Mason Neale performed by a traditional choir with lyrics. Visit my blog at http://life-incessant.blogspot.com/20... "When Suffering Doesn't Stop: Life With Chronic Pain." Although most of the comments made here were polite and kind, as though written by normal people who simply enjoyed music, many of comments were becoming increasingly abusive. It's easy be a bully online because one doesn't get slapped in the face. Most of us feel worse when we make others feel bad. It's called "empathy," and THAT is normal. Anyway, I've disabled all comments. Remember: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS! They just get bigger and uglier.

善王瓦茲拉夫

這是著名的蘇格蘭插畫家潔西・金 (Jessie M. King)為J. M. 尼爾在十九世紀中葉所創作的聖誕詩歌《善王瓦茲拉夫》(Good King Wenceslas) *所繪製的插畫，由利奧波德・希爾公司出版於1920年。

歷史上的瓦茲拉夫 (Wenceslas) 出生於西元907年的波希米亞，歿於929年。他因受到其祖母柳德米拉的影響篤信了基督宗教，貴族們因反對基督宗教而將柳德米拉殺害。成為國王以後的瓦茲拉夫將貴族們剷除，並擴展了基督宗教的力量。不久後，反基督教派慫恿其弟波雷拉夫，將瓦茲拉夫暗殺。之後，瓦茲拉夫和其祖母柳德米拉以殉教者的身份位列聖人。

不知何故，瓦茲拉夫日益受到民間廣泛崇拜，成為近代捷克斯拉夫的守護聖人，甚至被聖誕詩歌所歌頌。有人推測他受崇拜的原因，可能是被當作民族獨立運動的象徵人物（捷克自奧匈帝國脫離）。在第一次世界大戰中，英國與德意志、奧地利征戰，以聲援捷克的獨立運動。而1920年，潔西・金繪製插圖時改編這首歌，可能也是因為這個原因。這首歌裡所敘述的內容，和歷史上的瓦茲拉夫並沒有關係，而是以拯救人民苦難的救世主形象出現。

歌裡的內容：善王瓦茲拉夫登場。他在史蒂芬盛宴之夜，凝視窗外，看見了在大雪紛飛，一片白茫茫的森林裡，有位撿拾柴火的男子。國王命令侍從去打聽那位男子的姓名和住處，接著，他命令人給貧窮的男子送去肉和酒。後來，國王決定親自領著侍從，帶著食物走進冬天的森林，前往男子家。在途中，年輕的侍從筋疲力盡而倒下，內心感到極大的挫折。國王來到侍從身邊給予勉勵：「請跟隨我的腳步，如此，在嚴寒的冬風中，你將不會再感受到寒冷。」侍從依循著國王的足跡前進，雪融了而身體也溫暖了。這就是聖者的道路。有財富和地位的人，必須為窮人盡心盡力，如此自己才能得到祝福。

瑪竇福音:Chapter 25

8我們什麼時候見了你作客，而收留了你，或赤身露體而給了你穿的？

39我們什麼時候見你患病，或在監裡而來探望過你？

40君王便回答他們說：我實在告訴你們：凡你們對我這些最小兄弟中的一個所做的，就是對我做的。

41然後他又對那些在左邊的說：可咒罵的，離開我，到那給魔鬼和他的使者預備的永火裡去罷！

42因為我餓了，你們沒有給我吃的；我渴了，你們沒有給我喝的；

43我作客，你們沒有收留我；我赤身露體，你們沒有給我穿的；我患病或在監裡，你們沒有來探望我。

44那時，他們也要回答說：主啊！我幾時見了你饑餓，或口渴，或作客，或赤身露體，或有病，或坐監，而我們沒有給你效勞？

45那時，君王回答他們說：我實在告訴你們：凡你們沒有給這些最小中的一個做的，便是沒有給我做。

46這些人要進入永罰，而那些義人卻要進入永生。」

The theatre at Athens is not open night by night, nor even day by day. Dramatic performances take place only at certain high festivals of Dionysos in winter and spring. It is, again, as though the modern theatre was open only at the festivals of the Epiphany and of Easter. Our modern, at least our Protestant, custom is in direct contrast. We 12tend on great religious festivals rather to close than to open our theatres. Another point of contrast is in the time allotted to the performance. We give to the theatre our after-dinner hours, when work is done, or at best a couple of hours in the afternoon. The theatre is for us a recreation. The Greek theatre opened at sunrise, and the whole day was consecrated to high and strenuous religious attention. During the five or six days of the great Dionysia, the whole city was in a state of unwonted sanctity, under a taboo. To distrain a debtor was illegal; any personal assault, however trifling, was sacrilege.

前幾天請教小讀者（丁丁）感嘆辭 holy smoke (2009年補: 此為Oxford American Dictionary之一例)，謝謝他給詳盡的說明：西方人因時地制宜，holy之後可以加許多東西來表示驚嘆。

我用一表示「特殊地方」（a very special place ）幽默語（humorous）

the holy of holies 謝謝；它的用例：；


The holy of holies is the most special part of a religious building.

This football stadium is the holy of holies to many fans.

----
小讀者（丁丁） 很serious， 留言道：「

在"正式"的宗教意義上,，此（the holy of holies）即猶太教的"至聖所" (東正教亦有此設)，只有大祭司才能進去。
當年至聖所內放的便是約櫃。約櫃內即十誡二石板 。」

昨/前天，hc留言：『「米蘭．昆德拉，四月初也在法國出版了最新的隨筆集《帷幕》（Le rideau）。書中昆德拉談小說、談創作、也論及他對許多世界傑出小說家的作品的思考。」

這法文 rideau是否有典故？』

---

歐巴桑 留言：「關於昆德拉的窗簾，從法國網站上找到的：

『《帷幕》是對小說的禮讚，是某種對世界、對藝術、對生活與對文學的看法，是倫理與美學不可分割的表達。
昆德拉說：「第一個撕毀這條『以神話編織而成的神奇帷幕』的就是賽萬提斯，這條帷幕遮蓋了派唐吉科德去旅行的所有情事。而「世界在此遊俠騎士赤裸裸的滑稽散文面前得以開展」。』」

----curtain或veil等等，即約櫃之幔子

The sacred curtain, separating the holy of holies from the sanctuary, is designated by a different Hebrew word (peroketh). It is described as a "veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work" (Ex. 26:31; Lev. 16:2; Num. 18:7).



出 埃 及 記 Exodus 26:30 [hb5] 要照著在山上指示你的樣式、立起帳幕。

[kjv] And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
[bbe] And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

26:31 [hb5] 你要用藍色紫色朱紅色線、和撚的細麻、織幔子．

以巧匠的手工繡上基路伯。

[kjv] And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

[bbe] And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:


26:32 [hb5] 要把幔子挂在四根包金的皂莢木柱子上、柱子上當有金鉤、柱子安在四個帶卯的銀座上。

[kjv] And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

[bbe] Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

26:33 [hb5] 要使幔子垂在鉤子下、把法櫃抬進幔子內、這幔子要將聖所和至聖所隔開。

[kjv] And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

[bbe] And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.


26:34 [hb5] 又要把施恩座安在至聖所內的法櫃上。

[kjv] And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

[bbe] You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.


-----

利 未 記 Leviticus16:2 [hb5] 要告訴你哥哥亞倫、不可隨時進聖所的幔子內、到櫃上的施恩座前、免得他死亡、因為我要從雲中顯現在施恩座上．

[kjv] And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

[bbe] The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.

----

民 數 記 Numbers 18:7 [hb5] 你和你的兒子要為一切屬壇和幔子內的事、一同守祭司的職任、你們要這樣供職、我將祭司的職任給你們當作賞賜、事奉我．凡挨近的外人必被治死。

[kjv] Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.

[bbe] And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.
