Listen attentively! I have so often told you the truth of the creation of this world.
In this world there is no one who understands this truth. Indeed, it should be difficult for you to understand what I say.
Inoue/Eynon
Listen attentively! I have repeatedly told you that this is the truth of the creation of the world.
But, no one in the world was aware of this. Therefore, whatever I say was hard to understand.

8:18, 19 Listen carefully. While I speak to tell you about the truth of how I began this world, because it is a story no one in the world knows about, no matter what I say, it will be difficult for you to understand. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 132 一八、一九、しっかり聞け。この世界を創め出した真実の話を説いて聞かせてはいるが、世界中でだれ一人知っている者の無い話であるから、何を言うても聞かせても分かり難いものである。 |
