(续上)……若城中有学者督理公众事务,钱就交给他斟酌使用。拉夫胡纳 正是这样的学者,又说两城的穷人都仰赖他,所以钱应留在他那里。
-
……城中学者在募款的那座城里督理群体所需的情形。
town scholar supervising the handling of the community’s needs, in the town in which the charity was collected.
-
但若那里有城中学者,钱就该交给城中学者,他可以照自己看为合宜的方式使用。
However, if there is a town scholar there, the money should be given to the town scholar, and he may use it as he sees fit.
-
既然在这情形中钱已交给了 拉夫胡纳,钱怎么用就由他斟酌。
Since, in this case, the money had been given to Rav Huna, the use of the money should be up to his discretion.
-
拉夫胡纳 又说:何况在这件事上,我城里的穷人和你们城里的穷人都仰赖我和我所募的济贫款。
Rav Huna added: And all the more so in this instance, as both my poor in my town and your poor in your town rely upon me and my collections of charity.
-
拉夫胡纳 也负责为周边地区分发济贫款。
Rav Huna was also in charge of distributing charity for the surrounding area.
-
把钱留给他,好让他分给一切有需要的人,当然是合宜的。
It was certainly proper to leave the money with him, so that he could distribute it among all those in need.
