καὶ ἀπῆλθε ταῦτα στρέφων ἐν ἑαυτῷ, καὶ ἀπαύστως διαλογιζόμενος, καὶ πυκνὰς ποιούμενος περὶ τοῦ θανάτου τὰς ὑπομνήσεις, πόνοις τε καὶ ἀθυμίαις ἐκ τούτου συζῶν καὶ ἄπαυστον ἔχων τὴν λύπην. ἔλεγε γὰρ ἐν ἑαυτῷ· Ἆρά ποτέ με ὁ θάνατος καταλήψεται; καὶ τίς ἔσται ὁ μνήμην μου ποιούμενος μετὰ θάνατον, τοῦ χρόνου πάντα τῇ λήθῃ παραδιδόντος; καὶ εἰ ἀποθανὼν εἰς τὸ μὴ ὂν διαλυθήσομαι; ἢ ἔστι τις ἄλλη βιοτὴ καὶ ἕτερος κόσμος;

Abiitque haec secum volvens atque assidue considerans, mortisque memoriam identidem animo repetens, ac deinceps in doloribus animique consternatione vivens, atque in perpetuo moerore degens. Atque apud se dicebat: Ergone mors me aliquando corripiet? Et quisnam erit qui mei post mortem meminerit, cum tempus omnia oblivione contriverit? Num praeterea morte functus in nihilum dissolvar; an contra, altera quaedam vita est, et alter mundus?

So he went away, restlessly turning over all these things in his mind, pondering without end, and ever calling up remembrances of death. Wherefore trouble and despondency were his companions, and his grief knew no ease; for he said to himself, “And is it true that death shall one day overtake me? And who is he that shall make mention of me after death, when time delivereth all things to forgetfulness? When dead, shall I dissolve into nothingness? Or is there life beyond, and another world?”

(3) Hann for nv sva buit heim. oc hugleiddi (4) huerssdaglega með ser. (5) vm dauðan. oc huerssu margskonar (6) meinlæte. er maðrenn ma (7) þola. aðr er hann døy. hann mælltezt (8) einnsamann við a þessa leið (9) Man ec eigi døya. sem aðrer menn (10) eða man nokkor maðr mín minnazt (11) siðan er ec em dauðr. a.

Han drog nu i saadan Stemning hjem og anstillede, dagligen, hos sig selv Betragtninger over Döden, og hvor mange Slags Lidelser Mennesket kan udsættes for, inden det dör. Han talte alene med sig selv saalunde: “Skal jeg ikke dö som andre Mennesker? Skal noget Menneske erindre mig, efterat jeg er död, i den Stund, naar jeg forlades af Alle, og i den Time, naar jeg bliver til Intet uden Aske og Stöv? Skal der være noget andet Liv, saasnart dette er forbi, eller nogen anden Verden efter denne?”

ταῦτα καὶ τὰ (60,1) τούτοις ὅμοια ἀπαύστως διενθυμούμενος ὠχριῶν κατετήκετο, κατ' ὄψιν δὲ τοῦ πατρός, ὅτε συνέβη τοῦτον ἀφικέσθαι, προσεποιεῖτο τὸ ἱλαρὸν καὶ ἄλυπον, μὴ βουλόμενος εἰς γνῶσιν τῷ πατρὶ τὰ αὐτῷ μελετώμενα ἐλθεῖν. ἐπόθει δὲ ἀκατασχέτῳ τινὶ πόθῳ καὶ ἐγλίχετο ἐντυχεῖν τινι τῷ δυναμένῳ τὴν αὐτοῦ πληροφορῆσαι καρδίαν, καὶ λόγον ἀγαθὸν ταῖς αὐτοῦ ἀκοαῖς ἐνηχῆσαι.

Haec et his similia perpetuo cogitans, pallore conficiebatur. Praesente tamen patre, si quando ad eum veniret, hilarem ac moerore vacuum animum prae se ferebat, quod scilicet ea quae cogitabat ad ipsius cognitionem venire nollet. Incredibilem autem in modum aliquem nancisci (459d,1) cupiebat, qui ipsius pectori certam fidem faceret, ac bonum sermonem ipsius auribus instillare posset.

Ever fretting over these and the like considerations, he waxed pale and wasted away, but in the presence of his father, whenever he chanced to come to him, he made as though he were cheerful and without trouble, unwilling that his cares should come to his father’s knowledge. But he longed with an unrestrainable yearning, to meet with the man that might accomplish his heart’s desire, and fill his ears with the sound of good tidings.

(18) Slika luti. eða aðra þvi lika (19) hugleiddi hann opttlega. oc af (20) mykylli a hyggiu. oc miok (21) bliknaðe hann. En huert sinní (22) er faðer hans kom til hans (23) þa synddi hann sik glaðan oc katan. (24) at faðer hans. við hans (25) hugh skot sem siðazt. verða (26) varr þess fystizt hannn (27) yuir alla luti. at hann skyllddi (28) nokkon mann. þann finna. er (29) honom kynni rettan vegh sins (30) lifs at vísa.

Saadanne Ting og andre deslige overveiede han ofte og med megen Bekymring, og han blev meget bleg; men hvergang hans Fader kom til ham, viste (26,1) han sig glad og munter, forat hans Fader saa sent som muligt skulde erfare hans Sindsstemning. Fremfor alle Ting önskede han, at han kunde finde et Menneske, som kunde vise ham hans Livs rette Vei.

Τὸν προμνημονευθέντα δὲ παιδαγωγὸν αὖθις ἐπηρώτα, εἴ πού τινα γινώσκει τὸν δυνάμενον αὐτῷ συμβαλέσθαι πρὸς τὸ ποθούμενον, καὶ τὸν νοῦν αὐτοῦ βεβαιῶσαι, δεινῶς ἰλιγγιῶντα ἐν τοῖς λογισμοῖς, καὶ μὴ δυνάμενον ἀποβαλέσθαι τὴν περὶ τούτων φροντίδα.

Quocirca de paedagogo eo cujus ante mentionem fecimus rursum quaerit num quem norit qui ad eam rem cujus cupiditate flagrabat adjumento ipsi esse, ipsiusque mentem gravibus cogitationibus aestuantem, atque hujusmodi curam abjicere nequeuntem, confirmare possit.

Again he enquired of the tutor of whom we have spoken, whether he knew of anybody able to help him towards his desire, and to establish a mind, dazed and shuddering at its cogitations, and unable to throw off its burden.

Opttlega spurði (31) hann giæzl mann sinn. þan er (32) fyr var nefnndr ef hann matte (b1) nokkon þann mann fa syst honom. (2) er þessa mætte honom bøtr raða

Ofte spurgte han sin för omtalte Opdrager, om han kunde skaffe ham noget Menneske, som kunde udfylde dette hans Savn,

ὁ δέ, τῶν προειρημένων πάλιν ἐπιμνησθείς, ἔλεγεν· Εἶπόν σοι καὶ πρότερον ὅπως ὁ πατήρ σου τοὺς σοφοὺς ἐκείνους καὶ ἀσκητὰς ἀεὶ περὶ τῶν τοιούτων φιλοσοφοῦντας, οὓς μὲν ἀνεῖλεν, οὓς δὲ μετ' ὀργῆς ἐδίωξε, καὶ οὐ γινώσκω νυνί τινα τοιοῦτον ἐν τῇ περιχώρῳ ταύτῃ.

Ille 252 autem ea quae prius dicta fuerant, in memoriam rursus ipsi revocans, dicebat: Jam quoque prius tibi exposui quemadmodum pater tuus sapientes illos viros ac pietati colendae devotos, qui de hujusmodi rebus disputant, partim obtruncarit, partim irato atque infenso animo expulerit, nec (460a,1) ullum ejusmodi in tota hac undique regione cognosco.

He, recollecting their former communications, said, “I have told thee already how thy father hath dealt with the wise men and anchorets who spend their lives in such philosophies. Some hath he slain, and others he hath wrathfully persecuted, and I wot not whether any of this sort be in this country side.”

(3) Oc hann svaraðe. ec hevi sagtt (4) þer aðr. hverssv faðer þínn (5) hevir tekit. munka oc reinlíviss menn. (6) oc alla aðra þa. er (7) þessa trv kunní. at kenna þer. (8) oc firir þui venter mik. at (9) engi finnizt i þesso kononngs(10)riki.

og han svarede: “Jeg har för sagt dig, hvorledes din Fader har behandlet Munke og Klostermænd og, alle de Andre, som skulde kunne lære dig denne Tro, og derfor tænker jeg, at der Ingen gives i dette Kongerige.”

πολλοῦ δὲ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἄχθους ἐκεῖνος πληρωθείς, καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν δεινῶς κατατρωθείς, ἐῴκει ἀνδρὶ θησαυρὸν ἀπολέσαντι μέγαν καὶ εἰς τὴν αὐτοῦ ζήτησιν ὅλον αὐτοῦ τὸν νοῦν ἀσχολουμένῳ. ἐντεῦθεν ἀγῶνι διηνεκεῖ καὶ μερίμνῃ συνέζη, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἡδέα καὶ τερπνὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἦν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ὡς ἄγος τι καὶ βδέλυγμα. οὕτως οὖν ἔχοντι τῷ νέῳ καὶ ποτνιωμένῳ κατὰ ψυχὴν τὸ ἀγαθὸν εὑρεῖν, εἶδεν αὐτὸν ὁ πάντα βλέπων ὀφθαλμός, καὶ οὐ παρεῖδεν ὁ θέλων πάντας σωθῆναι καὶ εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν ἀληθείας ἐλθεῖν, ἀλλά, τὴν συνήθη αὐτῷ φιλανθρωπίαν καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ δείξας, ἐγνώρισεν ὁδὸν ἣν ἔδει πορεύεσθαι τρόπῳ τοιῷδε· (62,1)

Quo quidem nomine magna ille molestia impletus, gravique animi vulnere affectus, ei similis erat qui ingentem thesaurum amisit, atque in ejus investigatione mentem totam occupatam ac defixam habet. Ac proinde in perpetuo languore et sollicitudine versabatur, omnesque mundi jucunditates et voluptates in ipsius oculis piaculi cujusdam et exsecrationis instar erant. Cum autem hoc animi statu esset, ac magno cum gemitu bonum invenire cuperet, insomnis ille oculus, qui omnia cernit, atque omnes salvos fieri, et ad veritatis agnitionem venire vult (I Tim. II), ipsum aspexit, suamque ipsi consuetam benignitatem ostendens, quodnam iter tenendum esset, hoc modo demonstravit.

Thereat the prince was overwhelmed with woe, and grievously wounded in spirit. He was like unto a man that hath lost a great treasure, whose whole heart is occupied in seeking after it. Thenceforth he lived in perpetual conflict and distress of mind, and all the pleasures and delights of this world were in his eyes an abomination and a curse. While the youth was in this way, and his soul was crying out to discover that which is good, the eye that beholdeth all things looked upon him, and he that willeth that ‘all men should be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth,’ passed him not by, but showed this man also the tender love that he hath toward mankind, and made known upon him the path whereon he needs must go. Befel it thus.

Af þvi ryðizt hann miok (11) oc syrgði. oc liktizt i þesso manne (12) þeim. er tapat hafðe myklum (13) auðøfom. oc siðan lagðe (14) allan hugh a aptr at fa (15) Með þessom hætte. leiddi hann (16) sina lifdaga. oc virði litis alla (17) veralldlega tign oc skemtan (18) er hann hafðe. Nu meðan er (19) hann var i þessarre ahyggiv (20) þa leit sa miskunnar augum (21) til hans. er ollum vil hialppa (22) er guð er allz valldannde. er (23) birtti honom rettan vegh. eptir (24) sinum vilia. með þessom hætte

Herover blev han meget hedrövet og sörgmodig, og lignede heri et Menneske, som, havde tabt store Rigdomme og siden lagde al sin Hu paa at faa dem igjen. Paa denne Maade henlevede han sine Dage, og agtede lidet al den verdslige Anseelse og Fornöielse, som han havde. Medens han nu var i denne Bekymring, saa den med Miskundheds Öine paa ham, som vil hjælpe Alle, nemlig den almægtige Gud, som aabenbarede ham den rette Vei efter sin Vilje paa denne Maade.
