精彩書摘

　　《聖經·舊約·創世記》Antiquum Testamentum / Old Testament /《聖經·舊約》

　　以希伯來文寫成的《舊約》包含很古老的文獻，部分記載來自David（大衛）王的時代（約公元前1000年），這些文獻比任何希臘文獻或拉丁語文獻都要古老。大約在公元前250年一些猶太學者將這部經典譯成希臘語（所謂的Septuaginta［=LXX］譯本），而在4世紀末Hieronymus（熱羅尼摩，英語名稱Jerome哲羅姆）根據希伯來語和希臘語的版本完成他的著名Vulgata譯本（《通俗拉丁語譯本》）。下麵選擇的章節很有名，而且從語法難度來看也比較簡單，適閤初學者閱讀及翻譯。

　　Genesis /《創世記》1：1��8

　　內容簡介：希臘語詞匯genesis是“齣生”、“形成過程”的意思。根據猶太人的信仰，神創造天地萬物，這就意味著一切事物都在神的手中，同時它反映齣神的智慧和他的法律。因此，猶太人會說：“讓一切自然現象都贊美神！”後來的一神論宗教（基督宗教、伊斯蘭教）都采納瞭這種“創世論”思想。

　　拉丁語原文：

　　In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.

　　Terra autem erat inanis et vacua，et tenebrae super faciem abyssi，et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.Dixitque Deus：“Fiat lux.”Et facta est lux.

　　Et vidit Deus lucem，quod esset bona，et divisit Deus lucem ac tenebras.

　　Appellavit Deus lucem diem et tenebras noctem.

　　Factumque est vespere et mane，dies unus.

　　Dixit quoque Deus：“Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum：et dividat aquas ab aquis.”

　　Et fecit Deus firmamentum，divisitque aquas，quae erant sub firmamento，ab his，quae erant super firmamentum.

　　Et factum est ita.Vocavitque Deus firmamentum caelum.

　　Et factum est vespere et mane，dies secundus.　英語譯文：

　　In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth，the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep，while the spirit of God swept over the face of the waters.Then God said，“Let there be light”；and there was light.And God saw that the light was good；and God separated the light from the darkness.God called the light Day，and the darkness he called Night.And there was evening and there was morning，the first day.

　　And God said，“Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters，and let it separate the waters from the waters.”So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome.And it was so.God called the dome Sky.And there was evening and there was morning，the second day.

　　拉丁語原文：

　　Et ait Deus：“Faciamus hominem ad imaginem et similitudinem nostram et praesint piscibus maris et volatilibus caeli et bestiis universaeque terrae omnique reptili，quod movetur in terra.”Et creavit Deus hominem ad imaginem suam；ad imaginem Dei creavit illum；masculum et feminam creavit eos.Benedixitque illis Deus et ait illis Deus：“Crescite et multiplicamini et replete terram et subicite eam，et dominamini piscibus maris，et volatilibus caeli，et universis animantibus，quae moventur super terram.”Dixitque Deus：“Ecce，dedi vobis omnem herbam afferentem semen super terram，et universa ligna quae habent in semetipsis sementem generis sui，ut sint vobis in escam：et cunctis animantibus terrae，omnique volucri caeli，et universis quae moventur in terra，et in quibus est anima vivens，ut habeant ad vescendum.”Et factum est ita.Vidit�瞦ue Deus cuncta quae fecerat，et erant valde bona.Et factum est vespere et mane，dies sextus.　英語翻譯：

　　Then God said，“Let us make humankind in our image，according to our likeness；and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea，and over the birds of the air，and over the cattle，and over all the wild animals of the earth，and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”So God created humankind in his image，in the image of God he created them；male and female he created them.God blessed them，and God said to them，“Be fruitful and multiply，and fill the earth and subdue it；and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.”God said，“See，I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth，and every tree with seed in its fruit；you shall have them for food.And to every beast of the earth，and to every bird of the air，and to everything that creeps on the earth，everything that has the breath of life，I have given every green plant for food.”And it was so.God saw everything that he had made，and indeed，it was very good.And there was evening and there was morning，the sixth day.
