566.关于木星居民续。那些住在赤道以下的居民,跟我们地球上住在非洲和炎热地带的居民一样赤身走动,如前所述(520-521节),正如我们所读的名叫亚当的上古教会之人,即他们是赤身露体的(创世记2:25)。在纯真的状态下,赤身露体没有什么可耻的。赤身露体的羞耻感是由罪产生的,事实上是由天堂之爱的彻底毁灭产生的;于是,使得赤身露体变得可耻的爱随后产生,这也是为何亚当和夏娃一知道自己赤身露体,就藏起来的原因。生活在地球赤道地区的人也是如此;因此,赤身露体对他们来说并不是什么大问题,因为他们只想为了天堂的缘故而繁衍后代。
566. Continuation about the inhabitants of Jupiter
The inhabitants dwelling below the equator, like the inhabitants of this earth in Africa and in the warm zones, go about naked, as said [Gen. 2:25]. In a state of innocence, nakedness is not shameful. The shame of nakedness arises from sin, and in fact, from the wiping out of heavenly love. Then follow loves which cause nakedness to be shameful, for which reason Adam also knew at once that he was naked, and also Eve, and they hid themselves.
So it is with those who live on this planet in the equatorial regions. Nakedness is no great thing to them, for they desire nothing else than to have children, for the sake of heaven.
566. CONTINUATION CONCERNING THE INHABITANTS OF JUPITER
Those inhabitants who dwell below the equator, like the inhabitants of our earth in Africa and in hot regions, go about naked, as was said [nos. ii 25. In a state of innocence there is nothing of shame in nakedness. The shame of nakedness exists from sin, and indeed from the utter destruction of heavenly love; then loves follow which make nakedness shameful, which is also the reason that as soon as Adam knew that he was naked, and also Eve, they hid themselves. It is the same with those who live in the equatorial regions of that earth; thus nakedness is of no concern to them, for they seek nothing else than the procreation of offspring for the sake of heaven.
566. Continuatio de Jovis incolis
Incolae, nempe sub aequatore, sicut incolae hujus terrae, ut in Africa, et calida sphaera 1
, ut dictum [521, 558] nudi incedunt, sicut legitur etiam de antiquissimae Ecclesiae, filiis, sub nomine Adami, quod nudi fuerint [Gen.II: [25], in statu innocentiae nuditas nullius est pudoris-pudor 2
nuditatis existit a peccato, et quidem a deletione 3
amoris coelestis; tunc succedunt amores, qui faciunt, quod nuditas sit pudori, quare etiam Adamus illico se nudum cognovit, sicut etiam Eva, et se absconderunt-simile 4
est iis qui in illa tellure sub aequatoris plagis vivunt; ita nihil illis cordi est nuditas, nam nihil aliud quaerunt, quam procreationem sobolis, coeli causa.
