约拿书 1

Studie

1 耶和华的临到亚米太的儿子约拿,说:

2 起来尼尼微城去,向其中的居民呼喊,因为他们的恶达到我面前。

3 约拿起来,逃往他施去躲避耶和华到约帕,遇见一只,要往他施去。他就价,上了,要与上的人同往他施去躲避耶和华

4 然而耶和华使中起就狂作,甚至几乎坏。

5 水手便惧,各哀求自己的。他们将上的货物抛在中,为要使轻些。约拿到底舱,躺卧沉睡。

6 船主到他那里对他:你这沉睡的人哪,为何这样呢?起来,求告你的,或者顾念我们,使我们不致灭亡。

7 船上的彼此:来吧,我们掣签,看看这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故。於是他们掣签,掣出约拿来。

8 众人对他:请你告诉我们,这灾临到我们是因谁的缘故?你以何事为业?你从哪里?你是哪一国?属哪一族的人?

9 :我是希伯来人。我敬畏耶和华─那创造沧旱地之上的

10 他们就,对他:你做的是甚麽事呢?他们已经知道他躲避耶和华,因为他告诉了他们。

11 他们问他我们当向你怎样行,使浪平静呢?这话是因浪越发翻腾。

12 他对他们:你们将我抬起来,抛在中,就平静了;我知道你们遭这风是因我的缘故。

13 然而那些人竭力荡桨,要把船拢岸,却是不能,因为浪越发向他们翻腾。

14 他们便求告耶和华耶和华啊,我们恳求你,不要因这的性命使我们死亡,不要使流无辜血的罪归与我们;因为你─耶和华是随自己的意旨行事。

15 他们遂将约拿抬起,抛在中,的狂浪就平息了。

16 那些人便敬畏耶和华,向耶和华献祭,并且许愿。

17 耶和华安排一条约拿,他在鱼腹中夜。

211. Internal Meaning of Jonah, Chapter 1 (1)

The conversion of the nations, which are meant by Nineveh. (11, 9)

1-3 Those who were of the Jewish nation were commanded to teach the Word to the nations round about, but they would not, and thus they kept the Word among themselves alone. (11, 2, 2)

4-6 Knowledges [cognitiones] began to perish with them, and yet they lived unconcernedly. (2)

7-9 The nations perceived that the state of the church was perverted among themselves, because of the loss of knowledges [cognitiones] among the Jews, and that the latter were unwilling to impart them to others outside of themselves. (11, 2)

10-13 They should reject those things which were from the Jewish nation, because they were falsified, so that they might be saved. (11, 2)

14-16 They prayed unto the Lord for salvation, which was effected for them, when the falsities from the Jewish nation had been removed. (17, 3)

17 [See next chapter.] (7, 6, 11)
