密释纳的两种传本,一称第一兄之妻为「第一位」,一称她为「第二位」,革玛拉说二者都不错:「第一位」指她最先来到 亡夫兄弟 面前待转房;「第二位」不指她是第二位兄弟的第二个妻子,而是指她已第二次出嫁。
-
教作「第一位」的,并没有错,因为「第一位」是什么意思?
The first, is not mistaken, as what is the meaning of first?
-
是指最先来到她的 亡夫兄弟 面前、等候转房的那一位。
It means the first to fall before her yavam for levirate marriage.
-
那教作「第二位」的,也没有错,因为「第二位」是什么意思?
And he who taught referring to her as the second is not mistaken either, as what is the meaning of second?
-
是指第二个进门成婚的那一位。
It means the second to enter marriage.
-
因为第二位亡兄先已娶了一个妻子,他转房所娶的这位 叔娶之妇 便是他的第二个妻子。
Since the second deceased brother was already married to one woman, this yevama whom he took in levirate marriage was his second wife.
-
革玛拉质疑:事情一定是这样的先后吗?
The Gemara wonders: Is this the necessary order of events?
-
我们所讨论的,不也包括第二位兄弟先与第一位兄弟的妻子转房、后来才另娶一妻的情形吗?
Are we not also dealing with a scenario in which the second brother took the wife of the first brother in levirate marriage and then later took another wife?
-
这样的情形,难道不该得同样的裁决吗?
Would such a situation not merit the same ruling?
-
不如说:把第一位兄弟的妻子称作「第二位」,是什么意思?
Rather, what is the meaning of calling the wife of the first brother the second?
-
是指她已第二次出嫁。
It means she who had been married for a second time.
注:原文 שְׁנִיָּה לְנִשּׂוּאִין,「于婚嫁为第二」;第一位兄弟之妻先嫁亡夫、再与第二位兄弟转房,故称。
-
她已嫁过两次,而第二位兄弟的妻子只嫁过一次。
She had already been married twice, whereas the wife of the second brother had been married only once.
