接上叶末句:连民数记 32:3 那样一整节地名,也要诵经文两遍、亚兰译本 一遍——因为与会众同步读完经课的人,年岁必得加多。

这话适用于每一节,连这样的一节也不例外:「亚他录、底本、雅谢、宁拉、希实本、以利亚利、示班、尼波、比稳」(民数记 32:3)。
This applies to every verse, <b>even</b> a verse like: <b>“Atarot and Divon</b> and Yazer and Nimra and Ḥeshbon and Elaleh and Sevam and Nevo and Beon” (Numbers 32:3).

那一节通篇都是地名,希伯来文与亚兰文全同;纵然如此,人仍须把经文诵两遍、把它的译文诵一遍——因为与会众同步读完自己经课的人,所得的赏是年岁加多。
While that verse is comprised entirely of names of places that are identical in Hebrew and Aramaic, one is nevertheless required to read the verse twice and its translation once, <b>as one who completes his</b> Torah <b>portions with the congregation</b> is rewarded that <b>his days and years are extended.</b>
本段的要点正在于这一节「译了等于没译」:地名在希伯来文与亚兰文里同形,亚兰译本 诵起来与经文一字不差,可仍要诵。中文的经文与译文本是两种文字,无从显出这种「同形」,故那份「明知无别仍要照诵」的意味只能靠注说明。
