Oseas 9

Studie

   

1 Huwag kang magalak, Oh Israel sa katuwaan, na gaya ng mga bayan; sapagka't ikaw ay nagpatutot na humihiwalay sa iyong Dios; iyong inibig ang upa sa bawa't giikan.

2 Ang giikan at ang pisaan ng ubas ay hindi magpapakain sa kanila, at ang bagong alak ay magkukulang sa kaniya.

3 Sila'y hindi magsisitahan sa lupain ng Panginoon; kundi ang Ephraim ay babalik sa Egipto, at sila'y magsisikain ng maruming pagkain sa Asiria.

4 Hindi nila ipagbubuhos ng alak ang Panginoon, ni makalulugod man sa kaniya: ang kanilang mga hain ay magiging sa kanila'y parang tinapay ng nangagluksa; lahat ng magsikain niyaon ay mangapapahamak; sapagka't ang kanilang tinapay ay parang sa kanilang ipagkakagana; hindi papasok sa bahay ng Panginoon.

5 Ano ang inyong gagawin sa kaarawan ng takdang kapulungan, at sa kaarawan ng kapistahan ng Panginoon?

6 Sapagka't, narito, sila'y nagsialis sa kagibaan, gayon ma'y pipisanin sila ng Egipto, sila'y ililibing ng Memphis; ang kanilang maligayang mga bagay na pilak ay aariin ng dawag; mga tinik ang sasa kanilang mga tolda.

7 Ang mga kaarawan ng pagdalaw ay dumating, ang mga kaarawan ng kagantihan ay dumating; malalaman ng Israel: ang propeta ay mangmang, ang lalake na may espiritu ay ulol, dahil sa karamihan ng iyong kasamaan, at sapagka't ang poot ay malaki.

8 Ang Ephraim ay bantay na kasama ng aking Dios: tungkol sa propeta, ay silo ng manghuhuli sa lahat ng kaniyang lansangan, at pagkakaalit ay nasa bahay ng kaniyang Dios.

9 Sila'y nangagpapahamak na mainam, na gaya ng mga kaarawan ng Gabaa: kaniyang aalalahanin ang kanilang kasamaan, kaniyang dadalawin ang kanilang mga kasalanan.

10 Aking nasumpungan ang Israel na parang ubas sa ilang; aking nakita ang inyong mga magulang na parang unang bunga sa puno ng higos sa kaniyang unang kapanahunan: nguni't sila'y nagsiparoon kay Baalpeor, at nangagsitalaga sa mahalay na bagay, at naging kasuklamsuklam na gaya ng kanilang iniibig.

11 Tungkol sa Ephraim, ang kanilang kaluwalhatian ay lilipad na parang ibon; mawawalan ng panganganak, at walang magdadalang tao, at walang paglilihi.

12 Bagaman kanilang pinalalaki ang kanilang mga anak, gayon ma'y aking babawaan sila, na walang tao; oo, sa aba nila pagka ako'y humiwalay sa kanila!

13 Ang Ephraim, gaya ng aking makita ang Tiro, ay natatanim sa isang masayang dako: nguni't ilalabas ng Ephraim ang kaniyang mga anak sa tagapatay.

14 Bigyan mo sila, Oh Panginoon-anong iyong ibibigay? bigyan mo sila ng mga bahay-batang maaagasan at mga tuyong suso.

15 Lahat nilang kasamaan ay nasa Gilgal; sapagka't doo'y kinapootan ko sila; dahil sa kasamaan ng kanilang mga gawa, akin silang palalayasin sa aking bahay; hindi ko na sila iibigin; lahat nilang prinsipe ay mapagsalangsang.

16 Ang Ephraim ay nasaktan, ang kaniyang ugat ay natuyo, sila'y hindi mangagbubunga: oo, bagaman sila'y nanganak, gayon ma'y aking papatayin ang minamahal na bunga ng kanilang bahay-bata.

17 Itatakuwil sila ng aking Dios, sapagka't hindi nila dininig siya; at sila'y magiging mga gala sa gitna ng mga bansa.

2584. 'And they gave birth' means fertileness This is clear from the meaning of 'bearing' and 'childbirth'. In the internal sense of the Word none but spiritual and celestial things are meant, and therefore where the expressions conception or conceiving, childbirth or giving birth, birth or being born, generation or generating, are used, and when those who beget as father and mother, and those who are begotten as sons and daughters, are spoken of, such are not meant in any but a spiritual sense, for in itself the Word is spiritual and celestial. The same applies here also to 'giving birth', which means fertileness as regards matters of doctrine.

[2] The fact that no other kinds of childbirths are meant in the Word by childbirths may become clear from the following places: In Samuel,

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and those who were hungry have ceased to be so, until the barren has borne seven, and she who has many has left off. Jehovah takes life and He gives life; He causes [some] to go down into hell and [others] to come up. 1 Samuel 2:5-6.

In Jeremiah,

The bearer of seven languishes, she breathes her last. Her sun is going down while it is still day. Jeremiah 15:9.

In Isaiah,

Sing, O barren one, who did not bear, break forth into singing and shout, who has not gone into labour; for the sons of her that is desolate are more than the sons of her that is married, said Jehovah. Isaiah 54:1.

In David,

The voice of Jehovah causes the hinds to calve, and He strips the forests bare; and in His temple everyone says, Glory. Psalms 29:9.

In Isaiah,

Blush, O Sidon, for the sea has spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying, I have not gone into labour, I have not given birth, nor have I reared young men or brought up young women. As when the report comes to Egypt, they go into labour over the report of Tyre. Isaiah 23:4-5.

In the same prophet,

Before she went into labour she gave birth, and before pain came to her she brought forth a male child. Who has heard of such a thing as this? Who has seen such? Does a land give birth in one day? And shall I [bring to the point of birth and not] cause to give birth? said Jehovah. Shall I who cause to give birth shut up [the womb]? said your God. Isaiah 66:7-9.

In Jeremiah,

Ask, now, and see whether a male can bear. Why then have I seen every man, hands on loins, like one giving birth? Jeremiah 30:6.

In Ezekiel,

I will send fire on Egypt, and Sin will certainly go into labour, and No will be [breached]. Ezekiel 30:16.

In Hosea,

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird, away from birth, and from the womb, and from conception. Hosea 9:11.

In the same prophet,

The pains of childbirth have come upon Ephraim, he is an unwise son, for now he will not present himself at the mouth of the womb of sons. Hosea 13:13.

In John,

A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Carrying in the womb she cried out in labour, and was in anguish to give birth. A dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she had given birth to her child he might devour it. She gave birth therefore to a male child, who was to rule 1 all nations with an iron rod. But the boy was caught up to God and His throne. Revelation 12:1-2, 4-5.

[3] From all these places anyone may see that no other conceptions and births are meant than those which are conceptions and births of the Church. The same may also be seen from the things said about Abimelech, that 'God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his women servants, and they gave birth'; and that 'Jehovah had completely closed every womb in Abimelech's house on account of the matter of Sarah, Abraham's wife'. What is meant in the internal sense by these words may become clear from the explanation of them, namely the character of the doctrine of faith when regarded from Divine truths, and the character of it when regarded from the rational. That is to say, when regarded from Divine truths, that is, from the Word, every single thing, both rational and factual, is confirmatory. But it is different when it is regarded from human things, that is from reason and knowledge. When regarded from the latter no good or truth at all is conceived; for to regard things from the Word is to do so from the Lord, but to regard them from reason and knowledge is to do so from man. The former gives rise to all intelligence and wisdom, the latter to all insanity and stupidity.
