我誠語汝、昔先知義人多欲見爾所見、而不得見、聞爾所聞、而不得聞、

我誠告爾、昔多先知、及義人、欲見爾所見而不得見、欲聞爾所聞而不得聞、○

For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

What I’m about to tell you is true. Many prophets and godly people wanted to see what you see. But they didn’t see it. They wanted to hear what you hear. But they didn’t hear it.

For truly, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, but they didn’t see it. And they longed to hear what you hear, but they didn’t hear it.

爾祖亞伯漢嘗歡忭踴躍、以瞻望予之日矣。彼既睹之、而神樂充溢矣。』

此數人者、皆懷抱信德而死、生前未見恩諾之通盤實現、惟高瞻遠矚、延頸舉踵企而迎之。同時復自認人生在世、猶如羇旅他鄉、暫作過客而已。

是即歷來先知所潛心探索而預言者、爾等則親沾其澤矣。蓋基督神靈、啟迪先知之衷、故彼等能逆知基督之先苦後樂、與夫其事之成於何時何世。彼等且逆知其所預言諸事、非為本身、乃為爾等。凡此奧義、即眾天神亦渴欲一窺、而爾曹則因布道者憑天主所遣聖神之靈感、而得諦聽矣

予實語爾、古來無數先知及君王、欲睹爾所睹、而未得睹；欲聞爾所聞、而未得聞也。』

自有世以來、斯玄妙之旨、未曾啟迪於人。今則已因聖神而明示其諸聖宗徒、及先知先覺之人矣。斯旨無他、即因福音之傳、而萬邦之人、已得於基督耶穌庇蔭之下、同為嗣子、融成一體、共享恩諾是已。

凡此何一非因信德而見稱者乎？顧其未獲所許者何也？蓋天主夙為吾人備有更微妙之事、而古人之成全、實有待乎吾人者焉。
