既说到《加祷》可诵到几时,革玛拉 述说:拉夫阿维亚病了,没去 拉夫约瑟 的安息日讲学。次日他来了,阿巴耶 想为他解开这一节,便一问一答地说明他不到不是轻慢 拉夫约瑟。他问他说:夫子何以不赴安息日的讲学?拉夫阿维亚对他说:因我心里发昏,来不了。阿巴耶 对他说:你何不吃些什么再来?他说:夫子不照 拉夫胡纳 那句话么——拉夫胡纳 说:人未诵《加祷》之先,什么也不可尝。阿巴耶 对他说:夫子本可以自己先诵了《加祷》,吃些什么,再来听讲。他说:夫子不照 拉比约哈难 那句话么——人不可在会众祷告之先自己先祷。阿巴耶 对他说:论这条哈拉哈,拉比阿巴 岂不是说过「这话是就与会众同在时说的」么?就是说,惟有身在会众之中的人,才不可赶在会众之前独自祷告。拉夫阿维亚虽然说错了,他不赴讲学的缘由,却借这一问一答说明了。

既说到 《加祷》 可诵到几时,革玛拉 述说:拉夫阿维亚 病了,没有去赴 拉夫约瑟 的安息日讲学。
After mentioning until when the additional prayer may be recited, the Gemara relates: Rav Avya was ill and did not come to Rav Yosef’s Shabbat lecture.
-
次日 拉夫阿维亚 来了,阿巴耶 想为他解开这一节,便一问一答地要 拉夫约瑟 明白:拉夫阿维亚 不到,并不是轻慢他。
When Rav Avya came the following day, Abaye sought to placate Rav Yosef, and through a series of questions and answers sought to make clear to him that Rav Avya’s failure to attend the lecture was not a display of contempt for Rav Yosef.
-
他为此问他说:夫子何以不赴安息日的讲学呢?
To this end, he asked him: Why did the Master not attend the Shabbat lecture?
-
拉夫阿维亚 对他说:因为我心里发昏,来不了。
Rav Avya said to him: Because my heart was faint and I was unable to attend.
-
阿巴耶 对他说:你何不吃些什么再来呢?
Abaye said to him: Why did you not eat something and come?
-
拉夫阿维亚 对他说:夫子不照 拉夫胡纳 那句话么?
Rav Avya said to him: Does the Master not hold in accordance with that statement of Rav Huna?
-
因为 拉夫胡纳 说过:人未诵 《加祷》 之先,什么也不可尝。
As Rav Huna said: A person may not taste anything before he recites the additional prayer.
-
阿巴耶 对他说:夫子本可以自己先诵了 《加祷》,吃些什么,然后再来听讲。
Abaye said to him: My Master should have recited the additional prayer individually, eaten something, and then come to the lecture.
-
拉夫阿维亚 对他说:夫子不照 拉比约哈难 那句话么——人不可在会众祷告之先,自己先祷。
Rav Avya said to him: Does my Master not hold in accordance with that statement of Rabbi Yoḥanan: A person may not recite his individual prayer prior to the communal prayer?
-
阿巴耶 对他说:论这条 哈拉哈,拉比阿巴 岂不是说过:这话是就与会众同在时说的么?
Abaye said to him: Was it not stated regarding this halakha, Rabbi Abba said: They taught this in a communal setting?
-
就是说:惟有身在会众之中的人,才不可赶在会众祷告之先独自祷告。
In other words, only one who is part of a congregation is prohibited from praying alone prior to the prayer of the congregation.
-
拉夫阿维亚 虽然说错了,他不赴讲学的缘由,却借这一问一答说明了。
Even though Rav Avya was incorrect, the reason for his failure to attend the lecture was clarified through this discussion.
