Genesi 2

പഠനം

   

1 Così furono compiuti i cieli e la terra, e tutto l’esercito di quelli.

2 Ora, avendo Iddio compiuta nel settimo giorno l’opera sua, la quale egli avea fatta, si riposò nel settimo giorno da ogni sua opera, che egli avea fatta.

3 E Iddio benedisse il settimo giorno, e lo santificò; perciocchè in esso egli s’era riposato da ogni sua opera ch’egli avea creata, per farla.

4 TALI furono le origini del cielo e della terra, quando quelle cose furono create, nel giorno che il Signore Iddio fece la terra e il cielo;

5 e ogni albero ed arboscello della campagna, avanti che ne fosse alcuno in su la terra; ed ogni erba della campagna, avanti che ne fosse germogliata alcuna; perciocchè il Signore Iddio non avea ancora fatto piovere in su la terra, e non v’era alcun uomo per lavorar la terra.

6 Or un vapore saliva dalla terra, che adacquava tutta la faccia della terra.

7 E il Signore Iddio formò l’uomo del la polvere della terra, e gli alitò nelle nari un fiato vitale; e l’uomo fu fatto anima vivente.

8 Or il Signore Iddio piantò un giardino in Eden, dall’Oriente, e pose quivi l’uomo ch’egli avea formato.

9 E il Signore Iddio fece germogliar dalla terra ogni sorta d’alberi piacevoli a riguardare, e buoni a mangiare; e l’albero della vita, in mezzo del giardino; e l’albero della conoscenza del bene e del male.

10 Ed un fiume usciva di Eden, per adacquare il giardino; e di là si spartiva in quattro capi.

11 Il nome del primo è Pison; questo è quello che circonda tutto il paese di Havila, ove è dell’oro.

12 E l’oro di quel paese è buono; quivi ancora si trovano le perle e la pietra onichina.

13 E il nome del secondo fiume è Ghihon; questo è quello che circonda tutto il paese di Cus.

14 E il nome del terzo fiume è Hiddechel; questo è quello che corre di rincontro all’Assiria. E il quarto fiume è l’Eufrate.

15 Il Signore Iddio adunque prese l’uomo e lo pose nel giardino di Eden, per lavorarlo, e per guardarlo.

16 E il Signore Iddio comandò all’uomo, dicendo: Mangia pur d’ogni albero del giardino.

17 Ma non mangiar dell’albero della conoscenza del bene e del male; perciocchè, nel giorno che tu ne mangerai per certo tu morrai.

18 Il Signore Iddio disse ancora: E’ non è bene che l’uomo sia solo; io gli farò un aiuto convenevole a lui.

19 Or il Signore Iddio, avendo formate della terra tutte le bestie della campagna, e tutti gli uccelli del cielo, li menò ad Adamo, acciocchè vedesse qual nome porrebbe a ciascuno di essi; e che qualunque nome Adamo ponesse a ciascuno animale, esso fosse il suo nome.

20 E Adamo pose nome ad ogni animal domestico, ed agli uccelli del cielo, e ad ogni fiera della campagna; ma non si trovava per Adamo aiuto convenevole a lui.

21 E il Signore Iddio fece cadere un profondo sonno sopra Adamo, onde egli si addormentò; e Iddio prese una delle coste di esso, e saldò la carne nel luogo di quella.

22 E il Signore Iddio fabbricò una donna della costa che egli avea tolta ad Adamo, e la menò ad Adamo.

23 E Adamo disse: A questa volta pure ecco osso delle mie ossa, e carne della mia carne; costei sarà chiamata femmina d’uomo, conciossiachè costei sia stata tolta dall’uomo.

24 Perciò l’uomo lascerà suo padre e sua madre, e si atterrà alla sua moglie, ed essi diverranno una stessa carne.

25 Or amendue, Adamo e la sua moglie, erano ignudi, e non se ne vergognavano.

   


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.

9230. And flesh that is torn in the field ye shall not eat. That this signifies that the falsified good of faith shall not be conjoined is evident from the signification of “flesh,” as being good (see n. 7850, 9127); from the signification of a “field,” as being the church in respect to good, thus the good of the church (n. 2971, 3766, 7502, 7571, 9139, 9141); from the signification of “what is torn,” as being that which is destroyed through falsities, thus also what is falsified (n. 5828); and from the signification of “eating,” as being to appropriate and conjoin (n. 2187, 3168, 3513, 3596, 4745, 5643, 8001). From this it is evident that by “flesh that is torn in the field ye shall not eat” is signified that the good of the church, or the falsified good of faith, is not to be appropriated or conjoined.

[2] A few words shall be said about what the good of faith is, and what the truth of faith. Everything of the church is called the “good of faith,” that has to do with life and use from what the doctrine of faith of the church teaches; in a word everything that has to do with willing it and doing it from obedience; for the truths of faith of the church become goods by willing and doing them. But everything is called the “truth of faith,” which as yet has not any use as its end, or which as yet is not for the sake of life, consequently which is merely known and kept in the memory, and from this is laid hold of by the understanding, and is taught from it. For so long as the truths of the church go no further, they are merely knowledges, and relatively to goods are outside the man himself; for man’s memory and understanding are like entries, and his will is like an inner chamber, because the will is the man himself. This shows what the truth of faith is, and what the good of faith. But the good which a man does in his first state during his regeneration is called the “good of faith,” whereas the good which he does in the second state, namely, after he has been regenerated, is called the “good of charity.” And therefore when a man does good from the good of faith, he does good from obedience; but when he does good from the good of charity, he does good from affection. (Concerning these two states with a man who is being regenerated, see n. 7923, 7992, 8505, 8506, 8510, 8512, 8516, 8643, 8648, 8658, 8685, 8690, 8701, 9224, 9227)

2776. And offer him there for a burnt-offering. That this signifies that He should sanctify Himself to the Divine, is evident from the representation of a burnt-offering among the Hebrew nation and in the Jewish church, as being the most holy thing of their worship. There were burnt-offerings and there were sacrifices, and what these represented may be seen above (n. 922, 923, 1823, 2180). Their sanctifications were made by means of them, and hence it is that by “offering up for a burnt-offering” is here signified to be sanctified to the Divine, for the Lord Himself sanctified Himself to the Divine, that is, united His Human to His Divine by the combats and victories of temptations (see n. 1663, 1690, 1691 at the end, 1692, 1737, 1787, 1812, 1813, 1820).

[2] It is a common belief at this day that the burnt-offerings and sacrifices signified the Lord’s passion, and that by this the Lord made expiation for the iniquities of all; indeed, that He took them upon Himself, and thus bore them; and that those who believe are in this manner justified and saved, provided they think, even though it were in the last hour before death, that the Lord suffered for them, no matter how they may have lived during the whole course of their life.

But the case is not really so: the passion of the cross was the extremity of the Lord’s temptation, by which He fully united His Human to His Divine and His Divine to His Human, and thus glorified Himself. This very union is the means by which those who have the faith in Him which is the faith of charity, can be saved. For the supreme Divine Itself could no longer reach to the human race, which had removed itself so far from the celestial things of love and the spiritual things of faith, that men no longer even acknowledged them, and still less perceived them. In order therefore that the supreme Divine might be able to come down to man in such a state, the Lord came into the world and united His Human to the Divine in Himself; which union could not be effected otherwise than by the most grievous combats of temptations and by victories, and at length by the last, which was that of the cross.

[3] Hence it is that the Lord can from His Divine Human illumine minds, even those far removed from the celestial things of love, provided they are in the faith of charity. For the Lord in the other life appears to the celestial angels as a Sun, and to the spiritual as a Moon (n. 1053, 1521, 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495), whence comes all the light of heaven. This light of heaven is of such a nature that when it illumines the sight of spirits and angels, it also illumines their understanding at the same time.

This is inherent in that light, so that in heaven so much as anyone has of external light, so much has he of internal light, that is, so much of understanding; which shows wherein the light of heaven differs from the light of the world. It is the Lord’s Divine Human which illuminates both the sight and the understanding of the spiritual; which would not take place if the Lord had not united His Human Essence to His Divine Essence; and if He had not united them, man in the world would no longer have had any capacity of understanding and perceiving what is good and true, nor indeed would a spiritual angel in heaven have had any; so that they would have had nothing of blessedness and happiness, consequently nothing of salvation. From this we can see that the human race could not have been saved unless the Lord had assumed the Human and glorified it.

[4] Hence then anyone may infer what truth there is in the idea that men are saved if they only think from a kind of interior emotion that the Lord suffered for them, and took away their sins, however they may have lived; whereas the light of heaven from the Lord’s Divine Human cannot reach to any but those who live in the good of faith, that is, in charity; or what is the same, those who have conscience. The very plane into which that light can operate, or the receptacle of that light, is the good of faith, or charity, and thus conscience. (That the spiritual have salvation from the Lord’s Divine Human, may be seen above, n. 1043, 2661, 2716, 2718)
