1 Και οτε ηρχισαν οι ανθρωποι να πληθυνωνται επι του προσωπου της γης, και θυγατερες εγεννηθησαν εις αυτους,

2 ιδοντες οι υιοι του Θεου τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων, οτι ησαν ωραιαι, ελαβον εις εαυτους γυναικας εκ πασων οσας εκλεξαν.

3 Και ειπε Κυριος, Δεν θελει καταμεινει παντοτε το πνευμα μου μετα του ανθρωπου, διοτι ειναι σαρξ· αι ημεραι αυτου θελουσιν εισθαι ακομη εκατον εικοσι ετη.

4 Κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας ησαν οι γιγαντες επι της γης, και ετι, υστερον, αφου οι υιοι του Θεου εισηλθον εις τας θυγατερας των ανθρωπων, και αυται ετεκνοποιησαν εις αυτους· εκεινοι ησαν οι δυνατοι, οι εκπαλαι ανδρες ονομαστοι.

5 Και ειδεν ο Κυριος ετι επληθυνετο η κακια του ανθρωπου επι της γης, και παντες οι σκοποι των διαλογισμων της καρδιας αυτου ησαν μονον κακια πασας τας ημερας.

6 Και μετεμεληθη ο Κυριος οτι εποιησε τον ανθρωπον επι της γης. και ελυπηθη εν τη καρδια αυτου.

7 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος, Θελω εξαλειψει τον ανθρωπον, τον οποιον εποιησα, απο προσωπου της γης· απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους, εως ερπετου, και εως πτηνου του ουρανου· επειδη μετεμεληθην οτι εποιησα αυτους.

8 Ο δε Νωε ευρε χαριν ενωπιον Κυριου.

9 Αυτη ειναι η γενεαλογια του Νωε. Ο Νωε ητο ανθρωπος δικαιος, τελειος μεταξυ των συγχρονων αυτου· μετα του Θεου περιεπατησεν ο Νωε.

10 Και εγεννησεν ο Νωε τρεις υιους, τον Σημ, τον Χαμ και τον Ιαφεθ.

11 Διεφθαρη δε η γη ενωπιον του Θεου, και ενεπλησθη η γη αδικιας.

12 Και ειδεν ο Θεος την γην, και ιδου, ητο διεφθαρμενη· διοτι πασα σαρξ ειχε διαφθειρει την οδον αυτης επι της γης.

13 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε, Το τελος πασης σαρκος ηλθεν ενωπιον μου, διοτι η γη ενεπλησθη αδικιας απ' αυτων· και ιδου, θελω εξολοθρευσει αυτους και την γην.

14 Καμε εις σεαυτον κιβωτον εκ ξυλων Γοφερ· κατα δωματια θελεις καμει την κιβωτον, και θελεις αλειψει αυτην εσωθεν και εξωθεν με πισσαν.

15 Και ουτω θελεις καμει αυτην· το μεν μηκος της κιβωτου θελει εισθαι τριακοσιων πηχων, το δε πλατος αυτης πεντηκοντα πηχων, και το υψος αυτης τριακοντα πηχων.

16 Στεγην θελεις καμει εις την κιβωτον, και εις πηχην θελεις τελειωσει αυτην ανωθεν· και την θυραν της κιβωτου θελεις βαλει εκ πλαγιων· κατωγαια, διωροφα, και τριωροφα θελεις καμει αυτην.

17 Εγω δε, ιδου, εγω επιφερω τον κατακλυσμον των υδατων επι της γης, δια να εξολοθρευσω πασαν σαρκα, εχουσαν εν εαυτη πνευμα ζωης υποκατω του ουρανου· παν ο, τι ειναι επι της γης, θελει αποθανει.

18 Και θελω στησει την διαθηκην μου προς σε· και θελεις εισελθει εις την κιβωτον, συ, και οι υιοι σου, και η γυνη σου, και αι γυναικες των υιων σου μετα σου.

19 Και απο παντος ζωου εκ πασης σαρκος, ανα δυο εκ παντων θελεις εισαξει εις την κιβωτον, δια να φυλαξης την ζωην αυτων μετα σεαυτου· αρσεν και θηλυ θελουσιν εισθαι.

20 Απο των πτηνων κατα το ειδος αυτων, και απο των κτηνων κατα το ειδος αυτων, απο παντων των ερπετων της γης κατα το ειδος αυτων, ανα δυο εκ παντων θελουσιν εισελθει προς σε, δια να φυλαξης την ζωην αυτων.

21 Και συ λαβε εις σεαυτον απο παντος φαγητου το οποιον τρωγεται, και θελεις συναξει αυτο πλησιον σου· και θελει εισθαι εις σε, και εις αυτα, προς τροφην.

22 Και εκαμεν ο Νωε κατα παντα οσα προσεταξεν εις αυτον ο Θεος· ουτως εκαμε.

612. Noah was a man righteous, and perfect 1 in his generations. That this signifies that he was such that he could be endowed with charity, is evident from the signification of “just and perfect” “just” (or “righteous”) having regard to the good of charity, and “perfect” to the truth of charity; and also from the essential of that church being charity, concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. That “just” (or “righteous”) has regard to the good of charity, and “perfect” to the truth of charity, is evident from the Word, as in Isaiah:

They will seek Me daily and desire knowledge of My ways, as a nation that doeth righteousness, and forsaketh not the judgment of their God; they will ask of Me the judgments of righteousness, and will long for the approach of God (Isaiah 58:2).

Here “judgment” denotes the things which are of truth, and “righteousness” those which are of good. “Doing judgment and righteousness” became as it were an established formula for doing what is true and good (as in Isaiah 56:1; Jeremiah 22:3, 13, 15; 23:5; 33:14, 16, 19). The Lord said:

The righteous 2 shall shine forth as the sun, in the kingdom of My father (Matthew 13:43),

“the righteous” meaning those who are endowed with charity; and concerning the consummation of the age He said:

The angels shall go forth and shall sever the wicked from among the righteous (Matthew 13:49).

Here also the “righteous” denote those who are in the good of charity.

[2] But “perfect” signifies the truth which is from charity, for there is truth from many another origin; but that which is from the good of charity from the Lord is called “perfect” and a “perfect man” as in David:

Who shall sojourn in Thy tent, who shall dwell in the mountain of Thy holiness? He that walketh perfect, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Psalms 15:1-2).

The “perfect” [or “complete”] man is here described. Again:

With the holy Thou wilt show Thyself holy; with the perfect man Thou wilt show Thyself perfect (Psalms 18:25),

where the “perfect man” is one who is so from holiness, or the good of charity. And again:

Jehovah will withhold no good from them that walk in perfectness [integritate] (Psalms 84:11).

[3] That a “perfect man” is one who is true from good, or who speaks and does truth from charity, is evident from the words “walk” and “way” being often applied to what is perfect, that is, to wholeness or entirety, and also the words “upright” or “uprightness” which words pertain to truth. As in David:

I will teach the perfect in the way how far he shall come unto me. I will walk within my house in the perfectness of my heart (Psalms 101:2);

and in the sixth verse:

He that walketh in the way of the perfect, he shall minister unto me (Psalms 101:6).

Again:

Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah (Psalms 119:1).

And again:

Perfectness and uprightness shall guard me (Psalms 25:21).

And in another place:

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace (Psalms 37:37).

It is evident from these passages that he is called “righteous” who does what is good, and that he is called “perfect” who does what is true therefrom, which also is to “do righteousness and judgment.” “Holiness” and “righteousness” are the celestial of faith; “perfectness” and “judgment” are the spiritual thence derived.

脚注:

1. “Perfect” is used here in the sense of “whole,” “entire.” Swedenborg’s word is integer. [Reviser.]

2. The Latin has only one word for our two English words “just” and “righteous” and it is the same with “justice” and “righteousness.” [Reviser.]

Isaiah 58

勉強

   

1 "Cry aloud, don't spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways: as a nation that did righteousness, and didn't forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments; they delight to draw near to God.

3 'Why have we fasted,' [say they], 'and you don't see? [Why] have we afflicted our soul, and you take no knowledge?' "Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exact all your labors.

4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness: you don't fast this day so as to make your voice to be heard on high.

5 Is such the fast that I have chosen? the day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head as a rush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to Yahweh?

6 "Isn't this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

7 Isn't it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?

8 Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yahweh shall be your rear guard.

9 Then you shall call, and Yahweh will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, 'Here I am.' "If you take away from the midst of you the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking wickedly;

10 and if you draw out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then your light shall rise in darkness, and your obscurity be as the noonday;

11 and Yahweh will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make strong your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters don't fail.

12 Those who shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

13 "If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, [and] the holy of Yahweh honorable; and shall honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking [your own] words:

14 then you shall delight yourself in Yahweh; and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth; and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father:" for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
