但以理書 10

Studie

   

1 波斯王古列第年,有事顯給稱為伯提沙撒的但以理。這事是真的,是指著爭戰;但以理通達這事,明白這異象。

2 當那時,我─但以理悲傷了個七日。

3 美味我沒有,酒沒有入我的,也沒有用油抹我的身,直到滿了個七日。

4 二十日,我在底格里斯邊,

5 舉目觀,見有身穿細麻衣,腰束烏法精金帶。

6 他身體如水蒼玉,面貌如閃電,眼目如把,手和腳如光明的銅,說的聲音如大眾的聲音。

7 這異象惟有我─但以理一人見,同著我的人沒有見。他們卻戰兢,逃跑隱藏,

8 只剩下我一人。我見了這異象便渾身無力,面貌失色,毫無氣力。

9 我卻見他說的聲音,一見就面伏在沉睡了。

10 忽然,有一按在我身上,使我用膝和掌支持微起。

11 他對我:大蒙眷愛的但以理啊,要明白我與你所,只管站起來,因為我現在奉差遣來到你這裡。他對我,我便戰戰兢兢地立起來。

12 他就:但以理啊,不要懼!因為從你第一日專求明白將的事,又在你面前刻苦己,你的言語已蒙應允;我是因你的言語而

13 但波斯國的魔君攔阻我二十日。忽然有大君(就是使長;二十節同)中的位米迦勒幫助我,我就停留在波斯諸那裡。

14 現在我,要使你明白本國之民日後必遭遇的事,因為這異象關乎後許多的日子。

15 他向我這樣,我就臉面朝,啞口無聲。

16 不料,有一位像人的,摸我的嘴唇,我便開向那站在我面前的:我啊,因見這異象,我大大愁苦,毫無氣力。

17 僕人怎能與我說話呢?我一見異象就渾身無力,毫無氣息。

18 有一位形狀像人的又摸我,使我有力量。

19 :大蒙眷愛的哪,不要懼,願你平安!你總要堅強。他一向我說話,我便覺得有力量,:我,因你使我有力量。

20 他就:你知道我為何見你麼?現在我要回去與波斯的魔君爭戰,我去後,希利尼(原文是雅完)的魔君必

21 但我要將那錄在真確書上的事告訴你。除了你們的大君米迦勒之外,沒有幫助我抵擋這兩魔君的。

Editor's Introduction: In this work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of all the Prophetical Books, from Isaiah to Malachi, and the Psalms, and then the first 16 chapters of Genesis. It provides a survey of the inner meaning of a substantial portion of the Old Testament, in one place.

This work was written by Swedenborg in Latin, in 1761. It was translated from Latin into English by Rev. J. E. Schreck, and this translation was published by the Swedenborg Foundation, in New York, in 1900. This modified version of Schreck's 1900 translation does not update the text; instead just modifying numbering and formatting for clarity of use online.

Each chapter of each book of the Prophets has one corresponding numbered section in Swedenborg's explanation of its inner meaning, or internal sense. Swedenborg listed the verses that relate to each outlined point. We have added hyperlinks to the verse references, shown to the left of each outlined point. The Psalms and initial chapters of Genesis are treated in a similar fashion.

This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. For example, Swedenborg refers to this work in Doctrine of the Lord 37.

Readers may also find these comparisons useful:

- No. 124 of this work, explaining Ezekiel 1, with The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture 97,

- Nos. 161, 162, explaining Ezekiel 38, and 39, with Apocalypse Revealed 859,

- No. 236, explaining Zechariah 4, with Apocalypse Revealed 43, and

- Nos. 244-246 of this work, explaining Zechariah 12, 13, 14, with Apocalypse Revealed 707.

In the manuscript, at the beginning, Swedenborg wrote out a list of works that he intended to write and publish. While it's clearly related to the project of outlining the internal meaning of the Prophets, Psalms, and historical parts of the Word, it seems to be an independent list. We reproduce Rev. Schreck's translation of that list here:

"To Be Published:

1. Concerning the Lord.

2. Concerning the Sacred Scripture or concerning the Word of the Lord.

3. All things of religion and of the worship of God in one complex in the Decalogue.

4. Concerning Faith.

5. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine Providence.

6. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine omnipotence and omniscience, and concerning infinity and eternity.

7. Angelic wisdom concerning life.

8. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine love and Divine wisdom."

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In the original Latin manuscript, Swedenborg cross-referred the outlined internal sense to a more general Table of Subjects, shown above. In the following passages, those references are shown in parentheses, e.g. (3) would refer to subject number 3 above. We received the Latin text for this "front matter" from the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation.

2. Editor's Note (Schreck): No. 14 is crossed out by Swedenborg in his MS., and is never referred to in the text. It reads, "The state of unition with His Divine," which is the same as No. 10.

Doctrine of the Lord 3 for an outline of a similar set of themes that form the internal sense of the prophetical books.
