Caput V. De Obedientia Discipulorum.

Primus humilitatis gradas est obedientia sine mora. Haec convenit iis, qui nihil sibi Christo charius existimant, propter metum gehennae, vel gloriam vitae aeternae; et mox, ut aliquid imperatam a majore fuerit, ac si divinitus imperetur, moram pati nesciunt in faciendo. De quibus Dominus dicit: “In auditu auris obedivit mihi.” Et item dicit Doctoribus: “Qui vos audit, me audit.”

Ergo hi tales relinquentes statim quas sua sunt, et voluntatem propriam deserentes, mox exoccupatis manibus, et quod agebant imperfectum relinquentes, vicino obedientiae pede, jubentis vocem factis sequuntur; et veluti uno momento praedicta Magistri jussio, et perfecta discipuli opera, in velocitate timoris Dei, ambae res communiter citius explicantur, quibus ad vitam aeternam gradiendi amor incumbit. Ideo angustam viam arripiunt: unde Dominus dicit: “Angusta via est, quae ducit ad vitam;” ut non suo arbitrio viventes, vel desideriis suis, et voluptatibus obedientes, sed ambulantes alieno judicio et imperio, in coenobiis degentes, Abbatem sibi praeesse desiderant. Sine dubio hi tales illam Domini sententiam imitantur, qua dicit: “Non veni facere voluntatem meam, sed ejus qui misit me.”

Sed haec ipsa obedientia tunc acceptabilis erit Deo, et dulcis hominibus, si quod jubetur, non trepide, non tarde, non tepide, aut cum murmure, vel cum responso nolentis efficiatur; quia obedientia, quae maioribus praebetur, Deo exhibetur. Ipse enim dixit: “Qui vos audit, me audit.” Et cum bono animo a discipulis praeberi oportet, quia “hilarem datorem diligit Deus.” Nam cum malo animo si obedit discipulus, et non solum ore, sed etiam corde si murmuraverit: etsi impleat jussionem, tamen acceptus jam non erit Deo, qui cor respicit murmurantis; et pro tali facto nullam consequitur gratiam; imo murmurantium poenam incurrit, si non cum satisfactione emendaverit.

Behold, these are the instruments of spiritual art: which, when they have been diligently fulfilled by us day and night, and re-signed on the day of judgment, that reward will be recompensed to us by the Lord, which He Himself has promised: "What eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it ascended into the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love Him." The workshop, indeed, where we diligently carry out all these things, is the cloister of the monastery, and stability in the Congregation.

Caput V. De Obedientia Discipulorum. Chapter V. On the Obedience of the Disciples.

Primus humilitatis gradas est obedientia sine mora. The first step of humility is obedience without delay. Haec convenit iis, qui nihil sibi Christo charius existimant, propter metum gehennae, vel gloriam vitae aeternae; et mox, ut aliquid imperatam a majore fuerit, ac si divinitus imperetur, moram pati nesciunt in faciendo. This is suitable for those who consider nothing dearer to themselves than Christ, either out of fear of hell, or for the glory of eternal life; and as soon as something is commanded by a superior, as if it were commanded by divine authority, they do not know how to delay in doing it. De quibus Dominus dicit: “In auditu auris obedivit mihi.” Et item dicit Doctoribus: “Qui vos audit, me audit.” of|which|Lord|he says|in|hearing|ear|he obeyed|to me|and|also|he says|to the teachers|whoever|you|he hears|me|he hears Of whom the Lord says: “In the hearing of the ears, he has obeyed me.” And he also says to the teachers: “Whoever hears you, hears me.”

Ergo hi tales relinquentes statim quas sua sunt, et voluntatem propriam deserentes, mox exoccupatis manibus, et quod agebant imperfectum relinquentes, vicino obedientiae pede, jubentis vocem factis sequuntur; et veluti uno momento praedicta Magistri jussio, et perfecta discipuli opera, in velocitate timoris Dei, ambae res communiter citius explicantur, quibus ad vitam aeternam gradiendi amor incumbit. |eles||relinquentes|imediatamente|o que|||||||em breve|exocupadas||||||relinquentes||||do juiz|||seguem|||||||de ordem||||||||||||||||||de agir||incumbe therefore|these|such|leaving|immediately|what|their|they are|and|will|own|abandoning|soon|having emptied|hands|and|what|they were doing|unfinished|leaving|near|obedience|foot|of the one commanding|voice|deeds|they follow|and|just as|one|moment|the aforementioned|of the Master|command|and|perfect|of the disciple|works|in|swiftness|of fear|of God|both|things|together|faster|they are explained|to which|to|life|eternal|of going|love|it weighs down Therefore, these such individuals, immediately leaving behind what is their own, and abandoning their own will, soon with hands unoccupied, and leaving behind what they were doing imperfectly, follow the voice of the one commanding with the foot of obedience; and as if in one moment the aforementioned command of the Master, and the perfect works of the disciples, in the swiftness of the fear of God, both matters are commonly explained more quickly, to which the love of progressing towards eternal life is inclined. Ideo angustam viam arripiunt: unde Dominus dicit: “Angusta via est, quae ducit ad vitam;” ut non suo arbitrio viventes, vel desideriis suis, et voluptatibus obedientes, sed ambulantes alieno judicio et imperio, in coenobiis degentes, Abbatem sibi praeesse desiderant. |||tomam|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||praeesse| therefore|narrow|way|they take|whence|Lord|he says|narrow|way|it is|which|it leads|to|life|so that|not|their|will|living|or|desires|their|and|pleasures|obedient|but|walking|foreign|judgment|and|authority|in|monasteries|living|abbot|to themselves|to be in charge|they desire Therefore, they take the narrow way: whence the Lord says: “The way is narrow that leads to life;” so that living not by their own judgment, or obedient to their own desires and pleasures, but walking under the judgment and command of another, desiring to dwell in monasteries with an Abbot to preside over them. Sine dubio hi tales illam Domini sententiam imitantur, qua dicit: “Non veni facere voluntatem meam, sed ejus qui misit me.” without|doubt|these|such|that|of the Lord|statement|they imitate|in which|he says|not|I came|to do|will|my|but|of the one|who|he sent|me Without a doubt, these such individuals imitate that saying of the Lord, in which he says: “I did not come to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.”

Sed haec ipsa obedientia tunc acceptabilis erit Deo, et dulcis hominibus, si quod jubetur, non trepide, non tarde, non tepide, aut cum murmure, vel cum responso nolentis efficiatur; quia obedientia, quae maioribus praebetur, Deo exhibetur. |||||aceitável||||||||é ordenado||tremendo||||tépido|||||||de quem não quer|for realizada|||||é oferecida||é exibida but|this|very|obedience|then|acceptable|it will be|to God|and|sweet|to men|if|what|is commanded|not|fearfully|not|slowly|not|lukewarmly|or|with|murmuring|or|with|response|of one unwilling|it is accomplished|because|obedience|which|to superiors|is offered|to God|it is exhibited But this very obedience will then be acceptable to God and sweet to men, if what is commanded is done not fearfully, not slowly, not lukewarmly, or with murmuring, or with the response of one unwilling; because the obedience that is offered to superiors is presented to God. Ipse enim dixit: “Qui vos audit, me audit.” Et cum bono animo a discipulis praeberi oportet, quia “hilarem datorem diligit Deus.” Nam cum malo animo si obedit discipulus, et non solum ore, sed etiam corde si murmuraverit: etsi impleat jussionem, tamen acceptus jam non erit Deo, qui cor respicit murmurantis; et pro tali facto nullam consequitur gratiam; imo murmurantium poenam incurrit, si non cum satisfactione emendaverit. ||||||||||||||prestar|é necessário||alegre|doador|||||||||||||||||||mesmo||ordem|tamen|||||||||||||||||a|||||||| he|indeed|he said|whoever|you|he hears|me|he hears|and|with|good|spirit|by|disciples|it must be offered|it is necessary|because|cheerful|giver|he loves|God|for|with|bad|spirit|if|he obeys|disciple|and|not|only|with mouth|but|also|with heart|if|he has murmured|even if|he fulfills|command|nevertheless|accepted|already|not|it will be|to God|who|heart|he regards|of one murmuring|and|for|such|deed|no|he obtains|grace|rather|of those murmuring|punishment|he incurs|if|not|with|satisfaction|he has corrected For He Himself said: 'Whoever hears you hears me.' And it must be offered by the disciples with a good spirit, because 'God loves a cheerful giver.' For if a disciple obeys with a bad spirit, and not only with his mouth but also if he murmurs in his heart: even if he fulfills the command, he will not be accepted by God, who looks at the heart of the murmurer; and for such an act, he does not obtain any grace; rather, he incurs the punishment of the murmurers, if he does not amend with satisfaction.
