摘要

受教廷禁令、教會慣例以及語言文化差異等因素的影響，漢譯《聖經》曾長期是明清天主教傳教士「不敢輕云」之事。若將《聖經》分成《舊約》、《新約》來看，則《舊約》部分的譯介與改寫，明清天主教傳教士似乎更少涉及，直到20世紀初，情況才稍有改觀。本文選取兩個改寫自《舊約》且較富文學色彩的文本：一為明清天主教文獻中的白話故事集《衫松行實》，一為撰寫於民國初年的《聖教古史小說鼓詞》，以此為例，分析《舊約》中的故事在明清乃至民初天主教文獻中所發生的衍繹流變。

Due to Roman Catholic Church's own prohibition, Catholic missionaries in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties had often refrained from producing a Chinese translation of the Bible, especially for the Old Testament. And with the few Chinese translations of the Old Testament, the biblical legends and tales underwent evident adaptions in the Chinese context: they were transformed into different forms of texts, such as collections of short stories like Shan Song Xing Shi 衫松行實and the prolonged tales in traditional Chinese art form like Sheng Jiao Gu Shi Xiao Shuo Gu Ci 聖教古史小說鼓詞. Focusing on Shan Song Xing Shi and Sheng Jiao Gu Shi Xiao Shuo Gu Ci, this paper attempts to examine through a comparative textual analysis specific transformations of the Old Testament stories in Chinese Catholic writings from the Ming Dynasty well into the early Republic-of-China Period, and to further discuss the literary effects and social-religious impact such textual transformations may lead to.
