Genesis 9

Studie

   

1 At binasbasan ng Dios si Noe at ang kaniyang mga anak, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y magpalaanakin, at magpakarami at inyong kalatan ang lupa.

2 At ang takot sa inyo at sindak sa inyo ay mapapasa bawa't hayop sa lupa, at sa bawa't ibon sa himpapawid; lahat ng umuusad sa lupa, at lahat ng isda sa dagat, ay ibinibigay sa inyong kamay.

3 Bawa't gumagalaw na nabubuhay ay magiging pagkain ninyo; gaya ng mga sariwang pananim na lahat ay ibinibigay ko sa inyo.

4 Nguni't ang lamang may buhay, na siya niyang dugo, ay huwag ninyong kakanin.

5 At tunay na hihingan ko ng sulit ang inyong dugo, ang dugo ng inyong mga buhay: sa kamay ng bawa't ganid ay hihingan ko ng sulit; at sa kamay ng tao, sa kamay ng bawa't kapatid ng tao ay hihingan ko ng sulit ang buhay ng tao.

6 Ang magbubo ng dugo ng tao, sa pamamagitan ng tao ay mabububo ang kaniyang dugo: sapagka't sa larawan ng Dios nilalang ang tao.

7 At kayo'y magpalaanakin at magpakarami; magsilago kayo ng sagana sa lupa, at kayo'y magsidami riyan.

8 At nagsalita ang Dios kay Noe, at sa kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya, na sinasabi,

9 At ako, narito, aking pinagtitibay ang aking tipan sa inyo, at sa inyong binhi na susunod sa inyo;

10 At sa bawa't nilikhang may buhay na kasama ninyo, ang mga ibon, ang hayop at bawa't ganid sa lupa na kasama ninyo; sa lahat ng lumunsad sa sasakyan pati sa bawa't ganid sa lupa.

11 At aking pagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa inyo; ni hindi ko na lilipulin ang lahat ng laman sa pamamagitan ng tubig ng baha; ni hindi na magkakaroon pa ng bahang gigiba ng lupa.

12 At sinabi ng Dios, Ito ang tanda ng tipang ginawa ko sa inyo, at sa bawa't kinapal na may buhay na kasama ninyo sa buong panahon:

13 Ang aking bahaghari ay inilalagay ko sa alapaap, at siyang magiging tanda ng tipan ko at ng lupa.

14 At mangyayari, pagka ako'y magbababa ng isang alapaap sa ibabaw ng lupa, na makikita ang bahaghari sa alapaap.

15 At aalalahanin ko ang aking tipan, na inilagda ko sa akin at sa inyo, at sa bawa't kinapal na may buhay sa lahat ng laman; at ang tubig ay hindi na magiging bahang lilipol ng lahat ng laman.

16 At ang bahaghari ay pasa sa alapaap, at aking mamasdan, upang aking maalaala, ang walang hanggang tipan ng Dios at ng bawa't kinapal na may buhay sa lahat ng lamang nasa ibabaw ng lupa.

17 At sinabi ng Dios kay Noe, Ito ang tanda ng tipang inilagda ko sa akin at sa lahat ng laman na nasa ibabaw ng lupa.

18 At ang mga anak ni Noe na nagsilunsad sa sasakyan ay si Sem, at si Cham at si Japhet: at si Cham ay siyang ama ni Canaan.

19 Ang tatlong ito ay mga anak ni Noe: at sa mga ito'y nakalatan ang buong lupa.

20 At nagpasimula si Noe na maging mangbubukid, at naglagay ng isang ubasan.

21 At uminom ng alak at nalango; at siya'y nahubaran sa loob ng kaniyang tolda.

22 At si Cham na ama ni Canaan ay nakakita ng kahubaran ng kaniyang ama, at isinaysay sa kaniyang dalawang kapatid na nangasa labas.

23 At kumuha si Sem at si Japhet ng isang balabal, at isinabalikat nilang dalawa, at lumakad ng paurong, at tinakpan ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama; at ang mukha nila ay patalikod, at hindi nila nakita ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama.

24 At nagising si Noe sa kaniyang pagkalango sa alak, at naalaman ang ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang bunsong anak.

25 At sinabi, Sumpain si Canaan! Siya'y magiging alipin ng mga alipin sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

26 At sinabi niya, Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Sem! At si Canaan ay maging alipin niya.

27 Pakapalin ng Dios si Japhet. At matira siya sa mga tolda ni Sem; At si Canaan ay maging alipin niya.

28 At nabuhay si Noe pagkaraan ng bahang gumunaw, ng tatlong daan at limang pung taon.

29 At ang lahat ng naging araw ni Noe ay siyam na raan at limang pung taon: at namatay.

Raven

  

'A raven,' as in Genesis 8:7, signifies falsities. The spiritual self only knows general truths from the Word, and forms its conscience from these, and the general truths of the Word are accommodated to the fallacies of the senses. So countless falsities attach themselves, and insinuate themselves into those general truths, and they cannot be drawn out. These falsities are what 'the raven which went forth in going and returning' signifies. 'Sons of the raven,' as in Psalm 147:8, 9, signify natural people in a dim light arising from fallacies relating to divine truth.

2 Samuel 15

Studie

   

1 It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

2 Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, "What city are you from?" He said, "Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel."

3 Absalom said to him, "Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you."

4 Absalom said moreover, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!"

5 It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

6 Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 It happened at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to Yahweh, in Hebron.

8 For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, 'If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.'"

9 The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.

10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron!'"

11 Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn't know anything.

12 Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

13 A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."

14 David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

15 The king's servants said to the king, "Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses."

16 The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.

17 The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.

18 All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.

20 Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you."

21 Ittai answered the king, and said, "As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."

22 David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.

23 All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

24 Behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people finished passing out of the city.

25 The king said to Zadok, "Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;

26 but if he say thus, 'I have no delight in you;' behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him."

27 The king said also to Zadok the priest, "Aren't you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me."

29 Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.

30 David went up by the ascent of the [Mount of] Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot: and all the people who were with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

31 Someone told David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."

32 It happened that when David had come to the top [of the ascent], where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.

33 David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;

34 but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father's servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.'

35 Don't you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king's house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

36 Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear."

37 So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
