1 Και συ, υιε ανθρωπου, προφητευσον επι τα ορη Ισραηλ και ειπε, Ορη του Ισραηλ, ακουσατε τον λογον του Κυριου·

2 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Επειδη ο εχθρος ειπεν εναντιον σας, Ευγε, οι αιωνιοι υψηλοι τοποι εγειναν κληρονομια ημων,

3 δια τουτο προφητευσον και ειπε, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Επειδη ηρημωσαν και κατεπιον εσας κυκλοθεν, δια να γεινητε κληρονομια εις το υπολοιπον των εθνων, και κατεσταθητε λαλημα της γλωσσης και ονειδος των λαων·

4 δια τουτο, ορη του Ισραηλ, ακουσατε τον λογον Κυριου του Θεου· Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος προς τα ορη και προς τα βουνα, προς τους χειμαρρους και προς τας φαραγγας και προς τους ηρημωμενους και ηφανισμενους τοπους και προς τας εγκαταλελειμμενας πολεις, αιτινες εγειναν λαφυρον και εμπαιγμος εις το υπολοιπον των περιξ εθνων·

5 δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εξαπαντος εν τω πυρι του ζηλου μου ελαλησα κατα του υπολοιπου των εθνων και κατα παντος του Εδωμ, οιτινες εκαμον την γην μου κληρονομιαν εαυτων εν χαρα ολης της καρδιας αυτων και εν περιφρονησει ψυχης, δια να εκθεσωσιν αυτην εις λαφυρον.

6 Δια τουτο προφητευσον επι την γην Ισραηλ, και ειπε προς τα ορη και προς τα βουνα, προς τους χειμαρρους και προς τας φαραγγας, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Ιδου, εγω ελαλησα εν τω ζηλω μου και εν τω θυμω μου, διοτι εβαστασατε την υβριν των εθνων·

7 δια τουτο ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εγω υψωσα την χειρα μου· εξαπαντος τα εθνη τα περιξ υμων, αυτα θελουσι βαστασει την αισχυνην αυτων.

8 Σεις δε, ορη του Ισραηλ, θελετε εκβλαστησει τους κλαδους σας και θελετε δωσει τον καρπον σας εις τον λαον μου Ισραηλ, διοτι πλησιαζουσι να ελθωσι.

9 Διοτι ιδου, εγω επιβλεπω εφ' υμας και θελω στραφη προς υμας, και θελετε αροτριασθη και σπαρθη.

10 Και θελω πληθυνει εφ' υμων ανθρωπους, απαντα τον οικον Ισραηλ, απαντα αυτον· και αι πολεις θελουσι κατοικηθη και αι ερημωσεις θελουσιν οικοδομηθη.

11 Και θελω πληθυνει εφ' υμων ανθρωπους και κτηνη και θελουσιν αυξηθη και καρποφορησει· και θελω σας κατοικισει ως ησθε προτερον και αγαθοποιησει μαλλον παρα τας αρχας σας· και θελετε γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

12 Και θελω καμει να περιπατωσιν εφ' υμων ανθρωποι, ο λαος μου Ισραηλ· και θελουσι σας κληρονομησει, και θελετε εισθαι κληρονομια αυτων, και του λοιπου δεν θελετε πλεον ατεκνωσει αυτους.

13 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Επειδη ειπον προς εσας, Συ εισαι γη κατατρωγουσα ανθρωπους και ατεκνονουσα τους λαους σου,

14 δια τουτο δεν θελεις πλεον κατατρωγει ανθρωπους ουδε ατεκνωσει πλεον τους λαους σου, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

15 Και δεν θελω πλεον καμει να ακουσθη εν σοι η υβρις των εθνων, και δεν θελεις φερει πλεον τον ονειδισμον των λαων, και δεν θελεις καμει πλεον τους λαους σου να ατεκνωθωσι, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος.

16 Και εγεινε λογος Κυριου προς εμε, λεγων,

17 Υιε ανθρωπου, οτε ο οικος Ισραηλ κατωκησαν εν τη γη αυτων, εμιαναν αυτην δια της οδου αυτων και δια των πραξεων αυτων· η οδος αυτων ητο εμπροσθεν μου ως ακαθαρσια αποκεχωρισμενης.

18 Δια τουτο εξεχεα τον θυμον μου επ' αυτους, δια το αιμα, το οποιον εχυσαν επι την γην, και δια τα ειδωλα αυτων, με τα οποια εμολυναν αυτην·

19 και διεσπειρα αυτους μεταξυ των εθνων και ησαν διεσκορπισμενοι εν τοις τοποις· κατα την οδον αυτων και κατα τα εργα αυτων εκρινα αυτους.

20 Και οτε εισηλθον εις τα εθνη, οπου ηλθον, εβεβηλωσαν το ονομα μου το αγιον, ενω ελεγετο περι αυτων, Ουτοι ειναι ο λαος του Κυριου και εκ της γης αυτου εξηλθον.

21 Εσπλαγχνισθην ομως ενεκεν του αγιου ονοματος μου, το οποιον ο οικος Ισραηλ εβεβηλωσε μεταξυ των εθνων εις τα οποια ηλθον.

22 Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον οικον Ισραηλ, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Εγω δεν καμνω τουτο ενεκεν υμων, οικος Ισραηλ, αλλ' ενεκεν του αγιου ονοματος μου, το οποιον εβεβηλωσατε μεταξυ των εθνων, εις τα οποια ηλθετε.

23 Και θελω αγιασει το ονομα μου το μεγα, το βεβηλωθεν μεταξυ των εθνων, το οποιον εβεβηλωσατε εν μεσω αυτων· και θελουσι γνωρισει τα εθνη οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, οταν αγιασθω εν υμιν εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων αυτων.

24 Διοτι θελω σας λαβει εκ μεσου των εθνων και θελω σας συναξει εκ παντων των τοπων και σας φερει εις την γην υμων.

25 Και θελω ρανει εφ' υμων καθαρον υδωρ και θελετε καθαρισθη· απο πασων των ακαθαρσιων σας και απο παντων των ειδωλων σας θελω σας καθαρισει.

26 Και θελω δωσει εις εσας καρδιαν νεαν, και πνευμα νεον θελω εμβαλει εν υμιν, και αποσπασας την λιθινην καρδιαν απο της σαρκος σας θελω δωσει εις εσας καρδιαν σαρκινην.

27 Και θελω εμβαλει εν υμιν το Πνευμα μου και σας καμει να περιπατητε εν τοις διαταγμασι μου και να φυλαττητε τας κρισεις μου και να εκτελητε αυτας.

28 Και θελετε κατοικησει εν τη γη, την οποιαν εδωκα εις τους πατερας σας· και θελετε εισθαι λαος μου και εγω θελω εισθαι Θεος σας.

29 Και θελω σας σωσει απο πασων των ακαθαρσιων σας· και θελω ανακαλεσει τον σιτον και πληθυνει αυτον, και δεν θελω πλεον επιφερει εις εσας πειναν.

30 Και θελω πληθυνει τον καρπον των δενδρων και τα γεννηματα του αγρου, δια να μη λαβητε πλεον ονειδισμον πεινης μεταξυ των εθνων.

31 Και θελετε ενθυμηθη τας οδους υμων τας πονηρας και τα εργα υμων τα μη αγαθα, και θελετε αποστραφη αυτοι εαυτους εμπροσθεν των οφθαλμων σας δια τας ανομιας σας και δια τα βδελυγματα σας.

32 Εγω δεν καμνω ταυτα ενεκεν υμων, λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος, ας ηναι γνωστον εις εσας· αισχυνθητε και εντραπητε δια τας οδους σας, οικος Ισραηλ.

33 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Καθ' ην ημεραν σας καθαρισω απο πασων των ανομιων σας, θελω καμει ετι να κατοικηθωσιν αι πολεις, και θελουσιν οικοδομηθη αι ερημωσεις.

34 Και η γη η ηφανισμενη θελει γεωργηθη, αντι να κηται ηφανισμενη ενωπιον παντος διαβαινοντος.

35 Και θελουσι λεγει, Η γη αυτη, ητις ητο ηφανισμενη, κατεσταθη ως ο παραδεισος της Εδεμ, και αι πολεις αι ηρημωμεναι και ηφανισμεναι και κατηδαφισμεναι ωχυρωθησαν, κατωκισθησαν.

36 Και τα εθνη τα εναπολειφθεντα κυκλω υμων θελουσι γνωρισει οτι εγω ο Κυριος ωκοδομησα τα κατηδαφισμενα και εφυτευσα τα ηφανισμενα· εγω ο Κυριος ελαλησα, και θελω εκτελεσει.

37 Ουτω λεγει Κυριος ο Θεος· Και τουτο θελει ζητηθη παρ' εμου εκ του οικου Ισραηλ να καμω εις αυτους, να πληθυνω αυτους με ανθρωπους ως ποιμνιον προβατων.

38 Ως το αγιον ποιμνιον, ως το ποιμνιον της Ιερουσαλημ εν ταις επισημοις εορταις αυτης, ουτως αι πολεις αι ηρημωμεναι θελουσι γεινει πληρεις ποιμνιων ανθρωπων· και θελουσι γνωρισει οτι εγω ειμαι ο Κυριος.

248. The Jewish church and Jews. 1 The statutes, judgments, and laws that were commanded in the Jewish church were somewhat like those of the ancient church: 4449, 4834. How the symbolic rites of the Jewish church differed from the symbolic rites of the ancient church: 4288, 10149. A symbolic church was established for the people of that nation, but there was no real church among them: 4899, 4912, 6304. So they had something that symbolized a church but not an actual church: 4281, 4288, 4311, 4500, 6304, 7048, 9320, 10396, 10526, 10531, 10698. Because of the stubborn insistence of their ancestors and Moses, the Israelite and Jewish people were accepted as a church, not because they actually were a chosen people but rather so that they would symbolize a church: 4290, 4293, 7051, 7439, 10430, 10535, 10632. Their worship was solely external, without any inner worship: 1200, 3147, 3479, 8871. They knew absolutely nothing about inner worship and did not want to know: 301, 302, 303, 3479, 4429, 4433, 4680, 4844, 4847, 10396, 10401, 10407, 10694, 10701, 10707. What they thought of the inner aspects of worship, the church, and the Word: 4865. Their inner natures were foul, full of their love for themselves and the world and of avarice: 3480, 9962, 10454-10457, 10462-10466, 10575. Therefore the inner teachings of the church were not disclosed to them, because otherwise they would have defiled them: 2520, 3398, 3480, 4289. The Word was completely closed to them: 3769. They saw the Word from the outside and not from the inside (10549, 10550, 10551), so their inner self was closed when they were engaged in worship (8788, 8806, 9320, 9377, 9380, 9962, 10396, 10401, 10407, 10492, 10498, 10500, 10575, 10629, 10692). All the same, this people was more capable than any other of being outwardly holy despite the fact that their inner self was closed: 4293, 4311, 4903, 9373, 9377, 9380. Their state at such times: 4311. That is also why they have been preserved to this day: 3479. Their holy outward behavior was miraculously raised up and exhibited to heaven by the Lord, and as a result deeper levels of worship, the church, and the Word were perceived there: 3480, 4307, 4311, 6304, 8588, 10499, 10500, 10602. So that this could happen, they were driven by external pressures to a strict observance of their rituals in outward form: 3147, 4281, 8006. Because they could be outwardly holy without inner holiness, they were able to represent what is truly holy in the church and heaven: 3479, 3881, 4208, 6304, 8588, 9377, 10430, 10500, 10570. Nevertheless, they were not interested in what is truly holy: 3479. It does not matter what a person who symbolizes something is like, because symbolism focuses on the issue and not on the person: 665, 1097, 1361, 3147, 3881, 4208, 4281, 4288, 4292, 4500, 6304, 7048, 7439, 8588, 8788, 8806.

[2] Those people were worse than other peoples; a description of what they were like, including material from the Word of both Testaments: 4314, 4316, 4317, 4444, 4503, 4750, 4751, 4815, 4820, 4832, 5057, 5998, 7248, 8819, 9320, 10454-10457, 10462-10466. The tribe of Judah strayed more than the other tribes: 4815. How they took pleasure in cruelly treating other peoples: 5057, 7248, 9320. That people was idolatrous at heart and worshiped other gods more than other peoples did: 3732, 4208, 4281, 4825, 5998, 6877, 7401, 8301, 8871, 8882. Even their worship, seen in the context of that people, was idolatrous, since it was superficial, with no inner substance: 4281, 4825, 8871, 8882. They worshiped Jehovah in name only (6877, 10559, 10560, 10561, 10566), and only because of the miracles he did (4299). It is incorrect to think that the Jews are going to be converted at the end of the church 2 and brought back into the land of Canaan: 4847, 7051, 8301. A copious selection of passages from the Word on this subject-passages that are, however, to be understood in their inner meaning and therefore not taken literally: 7051. The Word was changed in its outer meaning because of that people, but not in its inner meaning: 10453, 10461, 10603, 10604. The way Jehovah appeared to them on Mount Sinai was shaped by their own nature, so he appeared in devouring fire, thick cloud, and smoke like that of a furnace: 1861, 6832, 8814, 8819, 9434. The way the Lord appears to each of us depends on what we ourselves are really like-as a life-giving and creative fire if we are devoted to doing good, but as a devouring fire if we are bent on doing evil: 934, 1861, 6832, 8814, 8819, 9434, 10551. One lineage of that people was of Canaanite ancestry and two others were the result of fornication with a daughter-in-law: 1167, 4818, 4820, 4874, 4899, 4913. Those stories represent the nature of their relationship with the inner truth of the church, namely, that it was like that of union with a Canaanite or fornication with a daughter-in-law: 4868, 4874, 4899, 4913. Their state in the other life: 939, 940, 5057.

[3] Because despite all this that people symbolized the church, and because the Word was composed among and about them, their names-for example, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Ephraim, Joseph, and the rest-have divine and heavenly meanings. In its inner meaning, "Judah" means the Lord in respect to his heavenly love and his heavenly kingdom: 3654, 3881, 5583, 5603, 5782, 6363. An explanation of Israel's prophecy concerning Judah in Genesis 49:8-12, which is about the Lord: 6362-6381. Both the tribe of Judah and Judea mean the heavenly church: 3654, 6364. The twelve tribes represented and meant all the aspects of love and faith taken together (3858, 3926, 4060, 6335), and therefore heaven and the church as well (6337, 6637, 7836, 7891). Their meanings depend on the order in which they are named: 3862, 3926, 3939, 4603 and following, 6337, 6640. The twelve tribes were divided into two kingdoms so that the Judeans could represent the heavenly kingdom and the Israelites could represent the spiritual kingdom: 3654, 8770. The seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob means the goodness and truth that belong to the church: 3373, 10445.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. On problematic material in Swedenborg's works, including his attitude toward Jews, see the discussion in the translator's preface, pages 19-21. [Editors]

2. From early Christian times it has been believed that all Jews will convert to Christianity before the Last Judgment. Augustine refers to this belief as "a very frequent topic in the conversation of the faithful and a very familiar thought in their hearts" ( City of God 20:29 [= Augustine 1952, 557]). The notion is based at least in part on Romans 11:26-27, in which Paul says, "All Israel will be saved," and goes on to quote Isaiah 59:20-21 (from the Septuagint version) and Jeremiah 31:33 (with reference also perhaps to Isaiah 27:9) to the effect that a Deliverer out of Zion will turn away the ungodliness of the descendants of Jacob and thus fulfill God's covenant with them. Malachi 4:5-6 is sometimes also cited in support. This prophecy has been discussed and even promoted by many major Christian theologians over the centuries, and it remains a topic of discussion in Christian circles. [SS]
