心思蒙昧、頑囂無知、棄上帝生命之道、

其心蒙昩、愚頑無知、而棄天主生命之道、

They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

They can’t understand the truth. They are separated from the life of God. That’s because they don’t know him. And they don’t know him because their hearts are stubborn.

They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives because they have closed their minds and hardened their hearts against him.

They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.

夫既知有天主矣乃又不以天主事之、而頌詠稱謝焉；復因鑿空蹈虛、流連忘返、以致其冥頑之心、淪於重昏。若輩自誇明哲、轉成下愚；忍棄永生者天主之真榮、而易以必朽者人類禽獸蛇蟲之偶像。

爾應恆念昔時爾本與基督相隔、處於義塞社會之外、於盟約恩諾為局外人、在世無所仰望、不識天主。

斯民之心、已成頑梗；厥耳重聽、厥目自閉、若恐其目之有見、耳之有聞、心之有悟、幡然回頭、而獲救於我也。」

『主已蒙其目、主已頑其心、恐其目有見、恐其心有靈、恐其即回頭、令吾全其生。』

切勿縱情恣慾、如異邦不識天主者所為也、凡因縱情、

爾等前因惡業向與天主睽隔；

蓋斯世之君、已矇不信者之心、以致基督榮耀福音之真光、亦無由照入；而基督固天主之肖影也。

嗚呼、爾亦不淑也已！豈不知與世為友、即與天主為仇乎？閹然媚世者、不能取悅於天主矣。

兄弟乎、吾深恐爾等之自以為智、故不欲爾等之昧於此中微妙也。蓋部分義塞人之所以成為冥頑不靈者、乃有待乎異邦人之圓滿歸化。

若輩既冥頑不靈、心棄天主、則天主亦愛莫能助、於是聽其昧心恣行、

然若輩已冥頑成心、而不可感化矣。即在今日、讀舊約時、此帕猶依然未揭；而不知舊約已因基督而廢棄矣。

無他、蓋順於欲者、則逆於天主；如此自不甘服天主之法、且亦不能。故凡體欲之情者、必不能取悅於天主也。

然曩日爾未識天主、猶為偽神所奴；

昔在蒙昧之世、天主尚予優容、今已檄曉人群、咸當幡然悔改、

與我有成言。主心寧有貳。黑闇塞氛氳。強暴滿塵世。

耶穌怒視周眾、哀其心之麻木不仁。顧謂痺手者曰：『伸爾手。』伸之手立愈。

蓋按天主之上智、世俗之智、既不足以認識天主、故天主甘用若愚之道以救信眾。

自命為瞽者之相、昏者之光、

予之拔汝於眾民萬邦者、欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」

豈同若輩手製之偶像兮。乃金銀之所成。口不能言。耳不能聽。目不能視。鼻不能聞。手不能握。足不能行。雖具喉舌。寂寂無聲。是知造像者固麻木而不仁矣。而信奉之者又安得而非冥頑不靈者乎。
