Deuteronomio 17

Studie

   

1 Huwag kang maghahain sa Panginoon mong Dios ng baka o tupa, na may dungis o anomang kapintasan; sapagka't yao'y isang karumaldumal sa Panginoon mong Dios.

2 Kung may masusumpungan sa gitna mo, sa loob ng alin man sa iyong mga pintuang-daan, na ibinigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios, ang lalake o babae na gumagawa ng kasamaan sa paningin ng Panginoon mong Dios, sa pagsalangsang sa kaniyang tipan,

3 At yumaon at naglingkod sa ibang mga dios, at sumamba sa kanila, o sa araw, o sa buwan, o sa anomang natatanaw sa langit na hindi ko iniutos;

4 At maisaysay sa iyo, at iyong mabalitaan; ay iyo ngang sisiyasating masikap; at, narito, kung totoo, at ang bagay ay tunay, na ang gayong karumaldumal ay nagawa sa Israel,

5 Ay iyo ngang ilalabas ang lalake o babaing yaon, na gumawa nitong bagay na kasamaan, sa iyong mga pintuang-daan, sa makatuwid baga'y ang lalake o babae; at iyong babatuhin sila ng mga bato, hanggang sila'y mamatay.

6 Sa bibig ng dalawang saksi, o ng tatlong saksi ay papatayin ang dapat mamatay; sa bibig ng isang saksi ay hindi siya papatayin.

7 Ang kamay ng mga saksi ay siyang unang papatay sa kaniya at pagkatapos ang kamay ng buong bayan. Ganito mo aalisin ang kasamaan sa gitna mo.

8 Kung magkakaroon ng totoong mahirap na bagay sa iyo sa paghatol, na dugo't dugo, usap at usap, at bugbog at bugbog, na bagay na pagkakaalit sa loob ng iyong mga pintuang-daan, ikaw nga'y titindig at sasampa sa dakong pipiliin ng Panginoon mong Dios;

9 At ikaw ay paroroon sa mga saserdote na mga Levita, at sa magiging hukom sa mga araw na yaon: at iyong sisiyasatin; at kanilang ipakikilala sa iyo ang hatol ng kahatulan.

10 At iyong gagawin ayon sa tinig ng hatol, na kanilang ipakikilala sa iyo mula sa dakong yaon na pipiliin ng Panginoon; at iyong isasagawa ayon sa lahat na kanilang ituturo sa iyo:

11 Ayon sa tinig ng kautusan na kanilang ituturo sa iyo, at ayon sa kahatulan na kanilang isasaysay sa iyo, ay gagawin mo: huwag kang liliko sa hatol na kanilang ipakikilala sa iyo, maging sa kanan o sa kaliwa man.

12 At ang tao na gumawa ng pagpapalalo, sa di pakikinig sa saserdote na tumatayo upang mangasiwa doon sa harap ng Panginoon mong Dios, o sa hukom, ay papatayin nga ang taong yaon: at iyong aalisin ang kasamaan sa Israel.

13 At maririnig ng buong bayan at matatakot, at di na gagawa pa ng pagpapalalo.

14 Pagka ikaw ay dumating sa lupain na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios, at iyong aariin, at iyong tatahanan; at iyong sasabihin, Ako'y maglalagay ng isang hari sa akin gaya ng lahat ng mga bansang nasa palibot ko;

15 Ay ilalagay mo ngang hari sa iyo, yaong pipiliin ng Panginoon mong Dios: na isa sa iyong mga kapatid ang ilalagay mong hari sa iyo: hindi mo mailalagay sa iyo ang isang taga ibang bayan, na hindi mo kapatid.

16 Huwag lamang siyang magpaparami ng mga kabayo, ni pababalikin niya ang bayan sa Egipto, upang siya'y makapagparami ng mga kabayo: sapagka't sinabi sa inyo ng Panginoon, Huwag na ninyong babalikan mula ngayon ang daang yaon.

17 Ni huwag siyang magpaparami ng mga asawa, upang huwag maligaw ang kaniyang puso: ni huwag siyang magpaparami ng pilak at ginto.

18 At mangyayari, na pagka siya'y luluklok sa luklukan ng kaniyang kaharian, ay kaniyang susulatin ang isang salin ng kautusang ito sa isang aklat, na nasa harap ng mga saserdote na mga Levita:

19 At mamamalagi sa kaniya, at kaniyang babasahin sa lahat ng mga araw ng kaniyang buhay: upang siya'y magaral na matakot sa Panginoon niyang Dios, upang isagawa ang lahat ng mga salita ng kautusang ito at ng mga palatuntunang ito;

20 Upang ang kaniyang puso ay huwag magmataas sa kaniyang mga kapatid at siya'y huwag maligaw sa utos, maging sa kanan, o sa kaliwa: upang kaniyang maparami ang kaniyang mga araw sa kaniyang kaharian, niya, at ng kaniyang mga anak sa gitna ng Israel.

6756. And he went out unto his brethren. That this signifies conjunction with the truths of the church, is evident from the signification of “brethren,” as being the truths of the church (of which in what follows) and from the signification of “going out unto them,” as being to be conjoined with them. As regards “brethren,” they sometimes signify the goods, and sometimes the truths of the church; when the celestial church is treated of, they signify goods, and when the spiritual church is treated of, they signify truths, because the celestial church is in good, but the spiritual church in truth. And in ancient times all who were of the church called themselves “brethren.” They too who were of the spiritual church called themselves “brethren,” from good (s (3803) ee n. 3803); but the men of the internal church did this with a difference according to the quality of the good, thus according to truths, for good has its quality from truths. Afterward, when the church turned aside from good, and hence also from truth, they then no longer called one another “brethren” from spiritual consanguinity and affinity, which are of charity and of faith, but only from natural consanguinity and affinity, and also from friendship. Moreover, they began to be indignant that one of meaner condition should call himself a “brother.” The reason was that they made little or nothing of relationship from a spiritual origin, but very much, and indeed everything, of relationships from a natural and civil origin. (That the truths of the church are called “brethren,” is evident from the fact that the sons of Jacob represented the truths of the church in the complex, see n. 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512)

[2] The reason why in ancient times they were called “brethren” from spiritual affinity, was that the new birth, or regeneration, made consanguinities and affinities in a higher degree than natural birth; and because the former derive their origin from one father, that is, from the Lord. Hence it is that men after death, who come into heaven, no longer acknowledge any brother, nor even a mother or father, except from good and truth, in accordance with which they find there new brotherhoods. From this then it is that they who were of the church called one another “brethren.”

[3] That the sons of Israel called all those “brethren” who were from Jacob, but others “companions,” is plain from these passages, in Isaiah:

I will commingle Egypt with Egypt, that a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his companion (Isaiah 19:2).

A man helpeth his companion, and he saith to his brother, Be courageous (Isaiah 41:6).

Beware ye a man of his companion, and confide ye not upon any brother; for every brother supplanting will supplant, and every companion will slander (Jeremiah 9:4).

[4] That all who were from Jacob called themselves “brethren:”—

Then shall they bring all your brethren out of all nations, an offering to Jehovah, upon horses, upon chariot, and upon litters (Isaiah 66:20).

Thou shalt surely set over them a king, whom Jehovah thy God shall choose; from the midst of thy brethren thou shalt set a king over them; thou mayest not put over them a man a foreigner, who is not their brother (Deuteronomy 17:15).

They also called the sons of Esau “brethren,” because they were from Jacob, as in Moses:

We passed over with our brethren the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir (Deuteronomy 2:8).

[5] That in ancient times they who were of the church called themselves “brethren,” was as before said because they acknowledged the Lord as the one only Father, and because from Him they had a new soul and new life. Therefore the Lord says:

Be not ye called Rabbi, for one is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren (Matthew 23:8).

As spiritual brotherhood is from love, namely, that one may be another’s, and they who are in good are “in the Lord, and the Lord in them” (John 14:20), therefore they are called “brethren” by the Lord:

Jesus stretching forth His hand toward His disciples said, Behold My mother and My brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of My Father who is in the heavens, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother (Matthew 12:49-50).

Insofar as ye have done it to one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it to Me (Matthew 25:40);

and He also calls the disciples “brethren” (Matthew 28:10; John 20:17). By “disciples” in the representative sense are meant all who are in the truths of faith and the good of charity.
