Ezechiele 26

Студија

   

1 Ed avvenne, nell’anno undecimo, nel primo giorno del mese, che la parola del Signore mi fu indirizzata, dicendo:

2 Figliuol d’uomo, perciocchè Tiro ha detto di Gerusalemme: Eia! quella che era la porta de’ popoli è ruinata, ella è rivolta a me; io mi empierò, ella è deserta;

3 perciò, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Eccomi contro a te, o Tiro;

4 e farò salir contro a te molte genti, come il mare fa salir le sue onde. E quelle guasteranno le mura di Tiro, e diroccheranno le sue torri; ed io ne raschierò la polvere, e la renderò simile ad un sasso ignudo.

5 Ella sarà in mezzo del mare un luogo da stendervi le reti da pescare: perciocchè io ho parlato, dice il Signore Iddio; e sarà in preda alle genti.

6 E le sue città, che sono in terra ferma, saran messe a fil di spada; e conosceranno che io sono il Signore.

7 Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io fo venire di Settentrione, contro a Tiro, Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, re dei re, con cavalli, e con carri, e con cavalieri, e con raunata di gente, e molto popolo.

8 Egli metterà a fil di spada le tue città, che sono in terra ferma; e rizzerà contro a te delle bastie, e farà contro a te degli argini, e leverà contro a te lo scudo;

9 e percoterà le tue mura co’ suoi trabocchi, e diroccherà le tue torri co’ suoi picconi.

10 Cotanto sarà grande la moltitudine dei suoi cavalli, che la lor polvere ti coprirà; per lo strepito de’ cavalieri, e delle ruote, e de’ carri, le tue mura tremeranno, quando egli entrerà dentro alle tue porte, come si entra in una città sforzata.

11 Egli calcherà tutte le tue strade con le unghie de’ suoi cavalli, ucciderà il tuo popolo con la spada, e le statue della tua gloria caderanno a terra.

12 Ed essi prederanno le tue facoltà, e ruberanno le tue mercatanzie, e disfaranno le tue mura, e distruggeranno le tue belle case, e getteranno in mezzo delle acque le tue pietre, e il tuo legname, e la tua polvere.

13 Ed io farò cessar lo strepito delle tue canzoni, e il suono delle tue cetere non sarà più udito.

14 Ed io ti renderò simile ad un sasso ignudo; tu sarai un luogo da stender le reti da pescare, tu non sarai più riedificata; perciocchè io, il Signore, ho parlato, dice il Signore Iddio.

15 Così ha detto il Signore Iddio a Tiro: Le isole non tremeranno esse per lo romore della tua caduta, quando i feriti gemeranno, quando l’uccisione si farà in mezzo di te?

16 Tutti i principi del mare scenderanno anch’essi d’in su i lor troni, e torranno via i loro ammanti, e spoglieranno i lor vestimenti di ricami; si vestiranno di spaventi, sederanno sopra la terra, e tremeranno ad ogni momento, e saranno attoniti di te.

17 E prenderanno a fare un lamento di te, e ti diranno: Come sei perita, tu, che eri abitata da gente di marina, città famosa, che eri forte in mare; tu, e i tuoi abitanti, i quali si facevan temere a tutti quelli che dimoravano in te!

18 Ora le isole saranno spaventate nel giorno della tua caduta, e le isole che son nel mare saranno conturbate per la tua uscita.

19 Perciocchè, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Quando io ti avrò renduta città deserta, come son le città disabitate; quando avrò fatto traboccar sopra te l’abisso, e le grandi acque ti avran coperta;

20 e ti avrò fatta scendere, con quelli che scendono nella fossa, al popolo antico; e ti avrò stanziata nelle più basse parti della terra, ne’ luoghi desolati ab antico, con quelli che scendono nella fossa, acciocchè tu non sii mai più abitata, allora rimetterò la gloria nella terra de’ viventi.

21 Io farò che tu non sarai altro che spaventi, e tu non sarai più; e sarai cercata, ma non sarai giammai più in perpetuo trovata, dice il Signore Iddio.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Apocalypse Revealed #788

Проучи го овој пасус

  
/ 962  
  

788. 18:19 "And they put dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, 'Woe, woe, that great city!'" This symbolizes their interior and exterior grief and mourning, which is a lamentation that so eminent a religion was completely destroyed and condemned.

Putting dust on their heads symbolizes their interior and exterior grief and mourning over the destruction and damnation, as we will show below. To cry out, weeping and mourning, symbolizes their exterior grief and mourning - to weep symbolizing a mourning of the soul, and to grieve a grief of the heart. "Woe, woe, that great city!" symbolizes a grievous lamentation over the destruction and damnation. That "woe" symbolizes a lamentation over a calamity, misfortune, or damnation, and that "woe, woe," therefore symbolizes a grievous lamentation, may be seen in nos. 416, 769, 785; and that the city symbolizes the Roman Catholic religion may be seen in no. 785 and elsewhere.

That putting dust on the head symbolizes an interior grief and mourning over a destruction and damnation is clear from the following passages:

They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads; they will roll about in ashes. (Ezekiel 27:30)

(The daughters) of Zion sit on the ground...; they have cast dust on their heads... (Lamentations 2:10)

(Job's friends) rent their tunics and sprinkled dust upon their heads... (Job 2:12)

Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground without a throne... (Isaiah 47:1)

And so on elsewhere.

The people put dust on their heads when they grieved deeply, because dust symbolized something damned, as is apparent from Genesis 3:14, Matthew 10:14, Mark 6:11, Luke 10:10-12, and dust on the head represented the people's acknowledgment that of themselves they were damned, and thus their repentance, as in Matthew 11:21, Luke 10:13.

Dust symbolizes something damned because the land over the hells in the spiritual world consists of nothing but dust, without grass or plants.

Revelation 18

Студија

   

1 After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

2 He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."

4 I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

5 for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

6 Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

7 However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'

8 Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

9 The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,

10 standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'

11 The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;

12 merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

13 and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's bodies and souls.

14 The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.

15 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;

16 saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

17 For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,

18 and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'

19 They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.

20 "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."

21 A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

22 The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

23 The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

24 In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
