Homilies on Judges, Homilia II
Death of Jesus son of Nun§1
1Jesus son of Nun’s death is read — one hundred ten years. That Jesus died; our Jesus always lives. For me to live is Christ. Those who fall away crucify the Son of God again. When Nun’s son is dead, the people decline.
Latin · §1
Recitatus est Iesu obitus — filius Nave centum decem annorum. Ille mortuus est; noster Iesus semper vivit. Mihi vivere Christus est. Qui peccant rursus crucifixunt Filium Dei. Mortuo Iesu Nave populus declinat.
Israel did evil before God§2
2The children of Israel did evil before God. Remember Jesus Christ risen from the dead — do not forget. After the leaders, forgetfulness breeds evil.
Latin · §2
Fecerunt filii Israel malignum ante Deum. Memor esto Christum Iesum surrexisse — ne obliviscaris. Post duces oblivio parit malum.
They served the Baals§3
3They served the Baals and forsook the Lord God of their fathers. A remnant according to the election of grace is saved. Baal is desire’s idol.
Latin · §3
Servivit Baalim et dereliquerunt Dominum Deum patrum. Reliquiae secundum electionem gratiae salvae. Baal — idolum cupiditatis.
They worshiped foreign gods§4
4They worshiped the foreign gods of the nations round about. Every greed is idol-worship. Glory to Christ. Amen.
Latin · §4
Adoraverunt deos alienos gentium in circuitu. Omnis cupiditas idolorum cultus. Gloria Christo. Amen.
