Prefacio para la traducción al español de la obra El Caballo Blanco y Apéndice

Este trabajo fue escrito y publicado originalmente en latin por Emanuel Swedenborg en el año 1758. Un apéndice fue escrito por Swedenborg como una carta al Rev. Thomas Hartley hacia fines de 1769. Y hace aproximadamente 100 años, el Dr. L. E. Callega de Méjico tradujo este trabajo y su apéndice para el idioma español de una traducción en ingles realizada por el Rev. John Whitehead. El Dr. Callega hizo algunas comparaciones con el latín, pero su traducción se guió bien de cerca de la traducción en ingles. Recientemente, esta traducción al español fue descubierta en la Escuela de Religión de Swedenborg, y se hizo una copia del texto mecanografiado de Callega. En el verano de 2021, esto fue transcrito al formato digital y revisado por Daniel Calvo Narajo para la Fundación de Publicaciones de la Doctrina Celestial, y luego revisado por el Rev. Johnny Villanueva, un nativo de Perú que ahora se desempeña como pastor en la Sociedad de la Nueva Iglesia en Rio de Janeiro.

Aunque estamos seguros de que se pueden hacer mejoras, ya que esto fue traducido a principio del idioma inglés, creemos que esta traducción podrá transmitir la Doctrina Celestial contenida en este trabajo, sobre el sentido espiritual de la Sagrada Escritura, al mundo de habla hispana. Esperamos tener esto listo, en poco tiempo, para ser publicado por la prensa, pero por ahora parece mejor compartir esto con el público en forma electrónica. Si desea una copia de este archivo en formato PDF, o desea compartirlo con otras personas, comuníquese con la Fundación de Publicaciones de la Doctrina Celestial. Si tiene sugerencias o correcciones, háganoslo saber.

English Preface to the Spanish Translation of the White Horse and to the Appendix to this work.

This work was originally written and published in Latin by Emanuel Swedenborg in the year 1758. An appendix or addendum to this work was written by Swedenborg as a letter to Rev. Thomas Hartley towards the end of 1769. About 100 years ago Dr. L. E. Calleja of Mexico translated this work, and the appendix to it, into Spanish from the English translation by the Rev. John Whitehead. Dr. Calleja did check the Latin as he went, but his translation closely follows the English. Recently this Spanish translation was discovered at the Swedenborg School of Religion, and a copy was made of Calleja’s typescript. In the summer of 2021, this was transcribed into the computer and revised by Daniel Calvo Naranjo for the Heavenly Doctrine Publishing Foundation, and then further revised by the Rev. Johnny Villanueva, a native of Peru now serving as Pastor of the New Church Society in Rio de Janeiro.

Although we are sure improvements can be made, as this was originally translated from English, it is felt it that this translation will be able to transmit the Heavenly Doctrine contained in this work about the spiritual sense of the Sacred Scripture to the Spanish speaking world. We hope to have this ready to publish by the press in a short while, but for now it seems best to share this work with the public in electronic form. If you would like a copy of this file as a PDF, or would like to share it others, please contact the Heavenly Doctrine Publishing Foundation. If you have suggestions or corrections, please let us know.

Apéndice al Tratado sobre El Caballo Blanco

10536. 'And no one put on his finery' means the nature of their external which is such that it lacks what is Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'finery' as the presence of what is Divine in external things, so that 'not putting on his finery' means the absence of what is Divine in those things. The reason why 'finery' has this meaning is that 'finery' relates to clothing, and Divine Truths are meant by clothing generally. The reason why Divine Truths are meant by clothing generally lies in things in the next life that are representative. All there, both angels and spirits, appear clothed in garments, each one in garments that accord with his truths. Those in possession of truths that are authentic and come from God appear clothed in brilliantly white garments; others appear in others different from these. Spirits indeed do not know where their garments come from; they are clothed without their knowing how. And also the garments they wear are varied, as determined by the changes of state they undergo in respect of truths. In short, the character of their understanding is what is revealed and represented by their garments; for everyone's understanding is shaped by truths and comes to have the same nature as the truths which compose it. The understanding which angels in heaven possess resides on an inner level with them, as a consequence of which their garments are brilliant and white. The brilliance is due to Divine Good, and the whiteness to the light of heaven, which is Divine Truth. But the garments of those whose interest lies in external things and not in what is internal are drab and torn, like those of beggars in the streets or robbers in the forests. From all this what is meant by 'finery' may be seen, namely the Church's holy truths, and therefore 'not putting on finery' means the absence of the Church's holy truths, and in reference to the Israelite nation, whose interest lay in external things and not in what was internal, means the nature of their external which was such that it lacked truths from God.

Truths are meant by 'garments', see 2132, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 6378, 6914, 6917, 6918, 9093, 9158, 9212, 9216, 9814, 9827, 9952.

What is meant by the garments of Aaron and his sons, 9814, 10068.

'Finery' in the Word means the Church's holy truths, see below in 10540.
