Sudije 5

Studie

   

1 I u taj dan peva Devora i Varak sin Avinejemov govoreći:

2 Blagosiljajte Gospoda što učini osvetu u Izrailju i što narod dragovoljno prista.

3 Čujte carevi, slušajte knezovi; ja, ja ću Gospodu pevati, popevaću Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom.

4 Gospode! Kad si silazio sa Sira, kad si išao iz polja edomskog, zemlja se tresaše, i nebesa kapahu, oblaci kapahu vodom.

5 Brda se rastapahu pred Gospodom; taj Sinaj pred Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevim.

6 Za vremena Samegara sina Anatovog, za vremena Jailjinog nesta puteva, i koji iđahu stazama, iđahu krivim putevima.

7 Nesta sela u Izrailju, nesta ih, dokle ne nastah ja, Devora, dokle ne nastah majka Izrailju.

8 On izabra nove bogove, tada rat beše na vratima; viđaše li se štit ili koplje među četrdeset hiljada u Izrailju?

9 Srce se moje privilo k upraviteljima Izrailjevim, koji dragovoljno pristaše između naroda. Blagosiljajte Gospoda.

10 Koji jašete na belim magaricama, koji sedite u sudu i koji hodite po putevima, pripovedajte.

11 Prestala je praska streljačka na mestima gde se voda crpe; onde neka pripovedaju pravdu Gospodnju, pravdu k selima njegovim u Izrailju; tada će narod Gospodnji silaziti na vrata.

12 Ustani, ustani, Devoro; ustani, ustani, zapevaj pesmu; ustani, Varače, vodi u ropstvo roblje svoje, sine Avinejemov.

13 Sada će potlačeni ovladati silnima iz naroda; Gospod mi dade da vladam silnima.

14 Iz Jefrema iziđe koren njihov na Amalike; za tobom beše Venijamin s narodom tvojim; od Mahira iziđoše koji postavljaju zakone, a od Zavulona pisari.

15 I knezovi Isaharovi biše s Devorom, Isahar kao i Varak bi poslan u dolinu s ljudima koje vođaše. U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

16 Što si sedeo među torovima slušajući kako bleje stada? U delu Ruvimovom behu ljudi visokih misli.

17 Galad osta s one strane Jordana; a Dan što se zabavi kod lađa; Asir zašto sede na bregu morskom i u krševima svojim osta?

18 Zavulon je narod koji dade dušu svoju na smrt, tako i Neftalim, na visokom polju.

19 Dođoše carevi, biše se; biše se carevi hananski u Tanahu na vodi megidskoj; ali ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.

20 S neba se vojeva, zvezde s mesta svojih vojevaše na Sisaru.

21 Potok Kison odnese ih, Potok Kadimin, Potok Kison; pogazila si, dušo moja, snažno.

22 Tada izotpadaše konjima kopita od teranja junaka njihovih.

23 Proklinjite Miroz, reče anđeo Gospodnji, proklinjite stanovnike njegove; jer ne dođoše u pomoćGospodu, u pomoćGospodu s junacima.

24 Da je blagoslovena mimo žene Jailja žena Evera Kenejina; mimo žene u šatorima da je blagoslovena.

25 Zaiska vode, mleka mu dade, u gospodskoj zdeli donese mu pavlaku.

26 Levom rukom maši se za kolac a desnom za malj kovački, i udari Sisaru, razmrska mu glavu; probode i probi mu slepe oči.

27 Među noge njene savi se, pade, leže, među noge njene savi se, pade gde se savi, onde pade mrtav.

28 S prozora gledaše majka Sisarina, i kroz rešetku vikaše: Što se tako dugo ne vraćaju kola njegova? Što se tako polako miču točkovi kola njegovih?

29 Najmudrije između dvorkinja njenih odgovarahu joj, a i sama odgovaraše sebi:

30 Nisu li našli? Ne dele li plen? Po jednu devojku, po dve devojke na svakog. Plen šaren Sisari, plen šaren, vezen; šaren, vezen s obe strane, oko vrata onima koji zapeniše.

31 Tako da izginu svi neprijatelji Tvoji, Gospode; a koji te ljube da budu kao sunce kad izlazi u sili svojoj. I zemlja bi mirna četrdeset godina.

1755. That 'these will take their share' means that these things were placed under their power and control is clear from what has been stated above at verses 21-23, to the effect that the Lord was unwilling to have anything that derived from them, since the Lord derived no strength whatever from that source. By 'they were placed under the power and control of the angels' the following is meant, that it is the angels who actually rule over evil and hellish spirits, as has been clear to me from much experience. The Lord however foresees and sees all things and every individual thing; and He provides and arranges the same, though some things arise from His permission, some from His concession, some from His consent, some from His good pleasure, and some from His will. The desire to control others is something altogether man's own, quite different from anything angels receive from the Lord. Angels' entire exercise of control is grounded in love and mercy, devoid of any desire to dominate. But as these are rather deep arcana they cannot be presented intelligibly in a few words. It is enough if one knows that evil and hellish spirits were placed under the power and control of the angels, and that the Lord governs all things, and every single thing, down to the last detail. These matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed later on where Providence and Permissions are dealt with.

Numbers 24

Studie

   

1 When Balaam saw that it pleased Yahweh to bless Israel, he didn't go, as at the other times, to meet with enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

2 Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came on him.

3 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

4 he says, who hears the words of God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, falling down, and having his eyes open:

5 How goodly are your tents, Jacob, and your tents, Israel!

6 As valleys they are spread forth, as gardens by the riverside, as aloes which Yahweh has planted, as cedar trees beside the waters.

7 Water shall flow from his buckets. His seed shall be in many waters. His king shall be higher than Agag. His kingdom shall be exalted.

8 God brings him out of Egypt. He has as it were the strength of the wild ox. He shall eat up the nations his adversaries, shall break their bones in pieces, and pierce them with his arrows.

9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed."

10 Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times.

11 Therefore now flee you to your place! I thought to promote you to great honor; but, behold, Yahweh has kept you back from honor."

12 Balaam said to Balak, "Didn't I also tell your messengers who you sent to me, saying,

13 'If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I can't go beyond the word of Yahweh, to do either good or bad of my own mind. I will say what Yahweh says'?

14 Now, behold, I go to my people: come, [and] I will inform you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days."

15 He took up his parable, and said, "Balaam the son of Beor says, the man whose eye was closed says;

16 he says, who hears the words of God, knows the knowledge of the Most High, and who sees the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, and having his eyes open:

17 I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel, and shall strike through the corners of Moab, and break down all the sons of Sheth.

18 Edom shall be a possession. Seir, his enemies, also shall be a possession, while Israel does valiantly.

19 Out of Jacob shall one have dominion, and shall destroy the remnant from the city."

20 He looked at Amalek, and took up his parable, and said, "Amalek was the first of the nations, But his latter end shall come to destruction."

21 He looked at the Kenite, and took up his parable, and said, "Your dwelling place is strong. Your nest is set in the rock.

22 Nevertheless Kain shall be wasted, until Asshur carries you away captive."

23 He took up his parable, and said, "Alas, who shall live when God does this?

24 But ships [shall come] from the coast of Kittim. They shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber. He also shall come to destruction."

25 Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.
