دانيال 5

Studija

   

1 بيلشاصّر الملك صنع وليمة عظيمة لعظمائه الالف وشرب خمرا قدام الالف.

2 واذ كان بيلشاصر يذوق الخمر أمر باحضار آنية الذهب والفضة التي اخرجها نبوخذناصّر ابوه من الهيكل الذي في اورشليم ليشرب بها الملك وعظماؤه وزوجاته وسراريه.

3 حينئذ احضروا آنية الذهب التي أخرجت من هيكل بيت الله الذي في اورشليم وشرب بها الملك وعظماؤه وزوجاته وسراريه.

4 كانوا يشربون الخمر ويسبحون آلهة الذهب والفضة والنحاس والحديد والخشب والحجر

5 في تلك الساعة ظهرت اصابع يد انسان وكتبت بازاء النبراس على مكلس حائط قصر الملك والملك ينظر طرف اليد الكاتبة.

6 حينئذ تغيّرت هيئة الملك وافزعته افكاره وانحلّت خرز حقويه واصطكت ركبتاه.

7 فصرخ الملك بشدة لادخال السحرة والكلدانيين والمنجمين. فاجاب الملك وقال لحكماء بابل اي رجل يقرأ هذه الكتابة ويبيّن لي تفسيرها فانه يلبّس الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقه ويتسلط ثالثا في المملكة.

8 ثم دخل كل حكماء الملك فلم يستطيعوا ان يقرأوا الكتابة ولا ان يعرّفوا الملك بتفسيرها.

9 ففزع الملك بيلشاصر جدا وتغيّرت فيه هيئته واضطرب عظماؤه.

10 اما الملكة فلسبب كلام الملك وعظمائه دخلت بيت الوليمة فاجابت الملكة وقالت ايها الملك عش الى الابد. لا تفزعك افكارك ولا تتغيّر هيئتك.

11 يوجد في مملكتك رجل فيه روح الآلهة القدوسين وفي ايام ابيك وجدت فيه نيّرة وفطنة وحكمة كحكمة الآلهة والملك نبوخذناصّر ابوك جعله كبير المجوس والسحرة والكلدانيين والمنجمين. ابوك الملك.

12 من حيث ان روحا فاضلة ومعرفة وفطنة وتعبير الاحلام وتبيين ألغاز وحلّ عقد وجدت في دانيال هذا الذي سماه الملك بلطشاصر. فليدع الآن دانيال فيبيّن التفسير

13 حينئذ ادخل دانيال الى قدام الملك. فاجاب الملك وقال لدانيال أأنت هو دانيال من بني سبي يهوذا الذي جلبه ابي الملك من يهوذا.

14 قد سمعت عنك ان فيك روح الآلهة وان فيك نيّرة وفطنة وحكمة فاضلة.

15 والآن أدخل قدامي الحكماء والسحرة ليقرأوا هذه الكتابة ويعرّفوني بتفسيرها فلم يستطيعوا ان يبيّنوا تفسير الكلام.

16 وانا قد سمعت عنك انك تستطيع ان تفسر تفسيرا وتحل عقدا. فان استطعت الآن ان تقرأ الكتابة وتعرّفني بتفسيرها فتلبّس الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقك وتتسلط ثالثا في المملكة

17 فاجاب دانيال وقال قدام الملك. لتكن عطاياك لنفسك وهب هباتك لغيري. لكني اقرأ الكتابة للملك واعرّفه بالتفسير.

18 انت ايها الملك فالله العلي اعطى اباك نبوخذناصّر ملكوتا وعظمة وجلالا وبهاء.

19 وللعظمة التي اعطاه اياها كانت ترتعد وتفزع قدامه جميع الشعوب والامم والألسنة. فايّا شاء قتل وايّا شاء استحيا وايّا شاء رفع وايّا شاء وضع.

20 فلما ارتفع قلبه وقست روحه تجبّرا انحط عن كرسي ملكه ونزعوا عنه جلاله

21 وطرد من بين الناس وتساوى قلبه بالحيوان وكانت سكناه مع الحمير الوحشية فاطعموه العشب كالثيران وابتلّ جسمه بندى السماء حتى علم ان الله العلي سلطان في مملكة الناس وانه يقيم عليها من يشاء.

22 وانت يا بيلشاصر ابنه لم تضع قلبك مع انك عرفت كل هذا.

23 بل تعظمت على رب السماء فاحضروا قدامك آنية بيته وانت وعظمائك وزوجاتك وسراريك شربتم بها الخمر وسبّحت آلهة الفضة والذهب والنحاس والحديد والخشب والحجر التي لا تبصر ولا تسمع ولا تعرف. اما الله الذي بيده نسمتك وله كل طرقك فلم تمجده.

24 حينئذ أرسل من قبله طرف اليد فكتبت هذه الكتابة.

25 وهذه هي الكتابة التي سطّرت. منا منا تقيل وفرسين.

26 وهذا تفسير الكلام منا احصى الله ملكوتك وانهاه.

27 تقيل وزنت بالموازين فوجدت ناقصا.

28 فرس قسمت مملكتك وأعطيت لمادي وفارس

29 حينئذ أمر بيلشاصر ان يلبّسوا دانيال الارجوان وقلادة من ذهب في عنقه وينادوا عليه انه يكون متسلطا ثالثا في المملكة.

30 في تلك الليلة قتل بيلشاصر ملك الكلدانيين

31 فاخذ المملكة داريوس المادي وهو ابن اثنتين وستين سنة

3079. 'And her pitcher was on her shoulder' means vessels that receive truth, and a total effort to uphold that truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a pitcher' as factual knowledge, and so a receptacle of truth, dealt with in 3068, and from the meaning of 'shoulder' as all power, and so total effort, dealt with in 1085. 'Pitchers' or water-pots, and also vessels generally, mean in the internal sense things that serve in the place of a receptacle, as facts and cognitions do in relation to truths, and as truths themselves do in relation to good. This becomes clear from many places in the Word. The temple and the altar vessels had no other meaning, and having that meaning they were also sacred. For no other reason were they sacred. That was why - when Belshazzar, along with his nobles and his wives, drank wine out of the vessels of gold and silver which Nebuchadnezzar his father had brought from the Temple in Jerusalem, and they praised the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone - writing appeared on the wall of his palace, Daniel 5:2 and following verses. 'The vessels of gold and silver' stands for cognitions of good and truth which were rendered profane; for 'the Chaldeans' means those who possess cognitions but have rendered them profane through the falsities within those cognitions, 1368, so that cognitions serve them for worshipping 'the gods of gold and silver' (Belshazzar being called 'king of the Chaldeans' in verse 30 of that same chapter).

[2] That 'vessels' means the external containers of spiritual things is also evident from other places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Even as the children of Israel bring their gift in a clean vessel to the house of Jehovah. Isaiah 66:20.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom. 'A gift in a clean vessel' is a representative of the external man in relation to the internal. The one who brings the gift is the internal man, 'the clean vessel' a compatible external man, and so the things present in the external man, which are facts, cognitions, and matters of doctrine. In Jeremiah,

The cry of Jerusalem went up, and the nobles sent their inferiors to the waters; they came to the pits, they found no water, they returned with their vessels empty, they were ashamed. Jeremiah 14:2-3.

'Empty vessels' stands for cognitions with no truth in them, and also truths with no good in them. In the same prophet,

Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel has devoured me, he has troubled me, he has made me an empty vessel. Jeremiah 51:34.

'An empty vessel' stands in like manner for empty cognitions - 'Babel' being one who lays waste, see 1327 (end). In Moses,

Like valleys that are planted, like gardens beside a river. Waters will flow from buckets, and his seed will be towards many waters. Numbers 24:6-7.

These verses belong to Balaam's oracle concerning Jacob and Israel. 'Waters will flow from buckets' stands for truths flowing from cognitions. In the parable about the ten virgins it is said that five of them took oil in their vessels together with their lamps, but that the foolish did not, Matthew 25:4. 'Virgins' means affections; 'the wise took oil in their vessels' means that they took good within truths, and so charity within faith. 'Oil' is good, see 886; 'lamps' stands for love.

Genesis 11

1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

3 They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

4 They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

6 Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

7 Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

10 This is the history of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of sons and daughters.

12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah.

13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber:

15 and Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of sons and daughters.

16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.

17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of sons and daughters.

18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu.

19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.

20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.

21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.

22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.

23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of sons and daughters.

24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.

25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.

28 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.

30 Sarai was barren. She had no child.

31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
