Ezekiel 5

Studie

   

1 At ikaw, anak ng tao, magdala ka ng matalas na tabak; na parang pangahit ng manggugupit ang iyong dadalhin, at iyong pararaanin sa iyong ulo at sa iyong balbas: kung magkagayo'y kumuha ka ng timbangang panimbang, at bahagihin mo ang buhok.

2 Ang ikatlong bahagi ay iyong susunugin sa apoy sa gitna ng bayan, pagka ang mga araw ng pagkubkob ay naganap; at iyong kukunin ang ikatlong bahagi, at susugatan mo ng tabak sa palibot; at ang ikatlong bahagi ay iyong pangangalatin sa hangin, at ako'y magbubunot ng tabak sa likuran nila.

3 At kukuha ka sa mga yaon ng kaunti sa bilang, at ipagtatali mo sa iyong mga tunika.

4 At sa mga ito'y kukuha ka uli, at ihahagis mo sa gitna ng apoy, at susunugin mo sa apoy; siyang panggagalingan ng apoy sa buong sangbahayan ni Israel.

5 Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Ito ay Jerusalem; inilagay ko siya sa gitna ng mga bansa, at mga lupain ay nangasa palibot niya.

6 At siya'y nanghimagsik laban sa aking mga kahatulan sa paggawa ng kasamaan na higit kay sa ginawa ng mga bansa, at laban sa aking mga palatuntunan na higit kay sa mga lupain na nangasa palibot niya; sapagka't kanilang itinakuwil ang aking mga kahatulan, at tungkol sa aking mga palatuntunan, hindi nila nilakaran.

7 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Sapagka't kayo'y manggugulo na higit kay sa mga bansa na nangasa palibot ninyo, at hindi nagsilakad sa aking mga palatuntunan, o iningatan man ang aking mga kahatulan, o nagsigawa man ng ayon sa mga ayos sa mga bansa na nangasa palibot ninyo;

8 Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios: Narito, ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako, ay laban sa iyo; at ako'y maglalapat ng mga kahatulan sa gitna mo sa paningin ng mga bansa.

9 At aking gagawin sa iyo ang hindi ko ginawa, at hindi ko na gagawin pa ang kaparis, dahil sa iyong lahat na kasuklamsuklam.

10 Kaya't kakanin ng mga magulang ang mga anak sa gitna mo, at kakanin ng mga anak ang kanilang mga magulang; at ako'y maglalapat ng mga kahatulan sa iyo; at ang buong nalabi sa iyo ay aking pangangalatin sa lahat ng dako.

11 Kaya't buhay ako, sabi ng Panginoong Dios, walang pagsala, na sapagka't iyong nilapastangan ang aking santuario ng lahat mong kasuklamsuklam na bagay, at ng lahat mong karumaldumal, kaya't akin namang babawasan ka; ni hindi magpapatawad ang aking mata, at ako nama'y hindi mahahabag.

12 Ang ikatlong bahagi mo ay mamamatay sa pamamagitan ng salot, at sa pamamagitan ng kagutom ay mauubos sila sa gitna mo; at ang isang ikatlong bahagi ay mabubuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak sa palibot mo; at ang ikatlong bahagi ay aking pangangalatin sa lahat ng dako, at magbubunot ako ng tabak sa likuran.

13 Ganito magaganap ang aking galit, at aking lulubusin ang aking kapusukan sa kanila, at ako'y maaaliw: at kanilang malalaman na akong Panginoon ay nagsalita sa aking pagsisikap, pagka aking naganap ang aking kapusukan sa kanila.

14 Bukod dito'y gagawin kitang kasiraan at kapulaan, sa gitna ng mga bansa na nangasa palibot mo, sa paningin ng lahat na nagsisidaan.

15 Sa gayo'y magiging kadustaan at kapulaan, aral at katigilan sa mga bansang nangasa palibot mo, pagka ako'y maglalapat ng mga kahatulan sa iyo sa galit at sa kapusukan, at sa mababagsik na pagsaway (akong Panginoon ang nagsalita);

16 Pagka ako'y magpapasapit sa kanila ng mga masamang pana ng kagutom na ikasisira nila, na siyang aking pasasapitin upang sirain kayo. At aking palalalain ang kagutom sa inyo, at aking babaliin ang inyong tungkod ng tinapay;

17 At ako'y magpapasapit sa inyo ng kagutom at mga masamang hayop, at kanilang aalisan ka ng anak; at salot at dugo ay daraan sa iyo; at aking pararatingin ang tabak sa iyo; ako ang Panginoon na nagsalita.

8972. Verse 1 And these are the judgements which you shall set before them means those more external truths such as must exist in a civic state where the Church is representative, which flow from the internal truths belonging to order in heaven. The fact that these things are meant by 'the judgements that were to be set before the children of Israel' is clear from the meaning of 'judgements' as truths, dealt with in 2235, 6397, 7206, 8685, 8695. The reason why 'judgements' are truths is that all judgement is effected by means of truths; therefore 'executing judgement' in the Word means executing truth, that is, judging in accordance with truths. But the plural 'judgements' means civil laws, thus those more external truths such as exist in a civic state. The words 'where the Church is representative' are added because these truths contain and embody within themselves the truths that belong to order in heaven, as may be recognized from the internal sense of them.

[2] The laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments, judgements, and statutes. The term 'commandments' was given to those which were laws of life, 'judgements' to those which were laws of the civic state, and 'statutes' to those which were laws of worship. As regards judgements specifically, they are the kinds of laws that are contained in the present chapter and also some that follow. They served as laws in a Church in which inner realities, those of heaven and of the Church, were represented by outward things; but they do not serve as laws in a Church in which inner realities are no longer represented by outward things, as in the Christian Church. The reason for this is that inner realities have been revealed to people of this Church, and therefore inner realities are the channel through which contact is made with heaven, not outward things, as had been the situation before the Christian Church. Here is the reason why members of the Christian Church are not bound to adhere to the outward requirements of the laws called judgements and statutes, only to the inward ones. Holiness still remains within them because they hold holy truths within them, as also does every single command in the Word regarding the sacrifices. Although these are no longer prescriptive laws they remain holy constituents of the Word because of the Divine realities which they hold within themselves and which they represented. For when they are read by a Christian the Divine realities which are held within them and which were represented by them are discerned in heaven. They fill the angels with holiness, and at the same time the reader too through influx from the angels, especially if the reader himself is thinking at the same time about the Divine realities within them. From this it is evident that even the Old Testament Word is extremely holy.

[3] The fact that the laws which the Lord delivered to the children of Israel and commanded them to keep were divided into commandments that were laws of life, judgements that were laws of the civic state, and statutes that were laws of worship, is evident in Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go, say to them, Go back into your tents. But you, stand here with Me, that I may tell you all the commandments, and statutes, and judgements which you shall teach them, so that they may do them. Deuteronomy 5:30-31.

In the same author,

Furthermore these are the commandments, statutes, and judgements which Jehovah your God commanded to teach you. Deuteronomy 6:1.

In the same author,

Therefore you shall keep the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. Deuteronomy 7:11.

In David,

If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will visit their transgression with the rod. Psalms 89:30-32.

[4] Furthermore all the laws, in that they were those of a representative Church, were generally called judgements and statutes, as in Moses,

Now therefore, O Israel, hear the statutes and the judgements which I will teach you, that you may do them. What great nation [is there] that has righteous statutes and judgements, like all this law which I will set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:1, 8; 5:1.

In Ezekiel.

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands that are around her; for they have repudiated My judgements, and have not walked in My statutes. Ezekiel 5:6-7.

In the same prophet,

Let him 1 walk in My statutes and keep My judgements - to do the truth. Ezekiel 18:9.

In addition to these there are many other places, such as Leviticus 18:5; 19:37; 20:22; 25:18; 26:15; Deuteronomy 26:17; Ezekiel 11:12, 20; 20:11, 13, 25; 37:24.
