忏悔录 第15章 The Confessions Chapter(15)希望学有所成
希望学有所成
Chapter15
Hear, Lord, my prayer; let not my soul faint under Thy discipline, nor let me faint in confessing unto Thee all Thy mercies, whereby Thou hast drawn me out of all my most evil ways, that Thou mightest become a delight to me above all the allurements which I once pursued; that I may most entirely love Thee, and clasp Thy hand with all my affections, and Thou mayest yet rescue me from every temptation, even unto the end. For lo, O Lord, my King and my God, for Thy service be whatever useful thing my childhood learned; for Thy service, that I speak, write, read, reckon. For Thou didst grant me Thy discipline, while I was learning vanities; and my sin of delighting in those vanities Thou hast forgiven. In them, indeed, I learnt many a useful word, but these may as well be learned in things not vain; and that is the safe path for the steps of youth.
主,请你俯听我的祈祷,不要听凭我的灵魂受不住你的约束而堕落,也不要听凭我倦于歌颂你救我于迷途的慈力,请使我感受到你的甘饴胜过我沉醉于种种佚乐时所感受的况味,使我坚决爱你,全心全意握住你的手,使我有生之年从一切诱惑中获得挽救。主,你是我的君王,我的天主,请容许我将幼时所获得的有用知识为你服务,说话、书写、阅读、计算都为你服务。我读了虚浮的文字,你便惩罚我,又宽赦了我耽玩这些虚浮文字的罪过。的确我在其中读到不少有用的字句,但这些字句也能在正经的典籍中求得,这是稳妥的道路,是儿童们所应走的道路。
