2 Sámuel 1

Студија

1 És lõn Saul halála után, mikor Dávid visszatért az Amálekiták legyõzésébõl, és Dávid két napig Siklágban idõzött:

2 Ímé a harmadik napon egy férfi jöve a táborból Saultól, és az õ ruhái megszaggatva valának, fején pedig föld vala; és a mikor Dávidhoz ért, leesék a földre, és meghajtá magát.

3 Monda pedig néki Dávid: Honnét jössz? Felele néki: Az Izráel táborából szaladék el.

4 Monda néki Dávid: Mondd meg kérlek nékem, mint lõn a dolog? Õ pedig felele: Megfutamodék a nép a harczból, és a nép közül nagy sokaság esett el, és meghalának. Sõt Saul is és Jonathán az õ fia meghalának.

5 Dávid pedig mondá az ifjúnak, ki néki [ezt] elbeszélé: Honnan tudod, hogy meghalt Saul és Jonathán az õ fia?

6 Felele az ifjú, ki a hírt hozta: Történetbõl felmenék a Gilboa hegyére, és ímé Saul az õ dárdájára támaszkodott vala, és ímé a szekerek és lovagok utólérék õtet.

7 Hátratekintvén pedig [Saul,] megláta engem és szólíta, és mondék: Ímhol [vagyok] én.

8 Monda pedig nékem: Ki [vagy] te? Felelék néki: Amálekita vagyok.

9 Akkor monda nékem: Kérlek állj mellém és ölj meg engem, mert dermedtség fogott el engem, pedig a lélek még teljesen bennem van.

10 Annakokáért [én] mellé állván, megölém õtet, mert tudtam, hogy meg nem él, miután elesett, és elhozám a koronát, mely az õ fején [vala,] és az aranypereczet, mely az õ karján [volt,] és azokat [ímé] ide hoztam az én uramnak.

11 Akkor megragadá Dávid a maga ruháit és megszaggatá, úgyszintén a többi emberek is, a kik õ vele [valának.]

12 És nagy zokogással sírának, és bõjtölének mind estvéig, Saulon és Jonathánon, az õ fián, és az Úrnak népén és Izráelnek házán, mivelhogy fegyver által hullottak el.

13 És monda Dávid az ifjúnak, a ki [ezt] elbeszélé néki: Honnét [való] [vagy] te? Felele: Egy jövevény Amálekita férfi fia vagyok.

14 Ismét monda néki Dávid: Hogy nem féltél felemelni kezedet az Úr felkentjének elvesztésére?

15 És szólíta Dávid egyet az õ szolgái közül, kinek monda: Jõjj elõ és öld meg õt. Ki általüté azt, és meghala.

16 És monda néki Dávid: A te véred [legyen] a te fejeden: mert a tennen nyelved vallása bizonyságot tesz ellened, mondván: Én öltem meg az Úrnak felkentjét.

17 És keservesen síra Dávid ilyen sírással, Saulon és Jonathánon, az õ fián,

18 És monda ([íjdal ez,] hogy megtanulják Júda fiai, mely be van írva a Jásár könyvébe):

19 Izráel! a te ékességed elesett halmaidon: miként hullottak el a hõsök!

20 Meg ne mondjátok Gáthban, ne hirdessétek Askelon utczáin, hogy ne örvendjenek a Filiszteusok leányai, és ne ujjongjanak a körülmetéletlenek leányai.

21 Gilboa hegyei, se harmat, se esõ ti reátok ne [szálljon, ]és mezõtök [ne teremjen semmi] áldozatra valót; mert ott hányatott el az erõs [vitézek] paizsa, Saulnak paizsa, mintha meg nem kenettetett volna olajjal.

22 A megöletteknek vérétõl és a hõsöknek kövérétõl Jonathán kézíve hátra nem tért, és a Saul fegyvere hiába nem járt.

23 Sault és Jonathánt, a kik egymást szerették és kedvelték míg éltek, a halál sem szakította el; a saskeselyûknél gyorsabbak és az oroszlánoknál erõsebbek valának.

24 Izráel leányai! sirassátok Sault, ki karmazsinba öltöztetett gyönyörûen, és aranynyal ékesíté fel ruhátokat.

25 Oh, hogy elhullottak a hõsök a harczban! Jonathán halmaidon esett el!

26 Sajnállak testvérem, Jonathán, kedves valál nékem nagyon, hozzám való szereteted csudálatra méltóbb volt az asszonyok szerelménél.

27 Oh, hogy elhullottak a hõsök! És elvesztek a hadi szerszámok!

11. Which are in Asia. This symbolically means, to those who from the Word possess the light of truth.

Since, as we said before, all the names of persons and places in the Word mean things having to do with heaven and the church, so too does Asia, and likewise the names of the seven churches there, as will be apparent from considerations that follow.

Asia means those who possess the light of truth from the Word because the Most Ancient Church existed there, followed by the Ancient Church, and later the Israelite Church, and because the Ancient Word existed among them, and later the Israelite Word. For all light of truth comes from the Word.

To be shown that there were ancient churches in the Asiatic world, and that they had a Word which was afterward lost, and that there finally existed there the Word that we have today, see The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture, nos. 101-103.

That, now, is the reason that Asia here symbolizes all those who from the Word possess the light of truth.

[2] Regarding the aforementioned Ancient Word which existed in Asia before the Israelite Word, this new information deserves to be reported, that it is still preserved there among peoples who live in Great Tartary. 1 I have spoken with spirits and angels in the spiritual world who came from there, who said that they possessed a Word, that they had possessed it from ancient times, that they conduct their worship in accordance with it, and that it consists of nothing but things that correspond. They said that it also contains the book of Jasher, which is mentioned in Joshua (Joshua 10:12-13) 2 and in the Second Book of Samuel (2 Samuel 1:17, 18) 3 , and that they have among them as well The Wars of Jehovah and Prophecies, books which Moses mentions in Numbers (Numbers 21:14, 15, 27-30) 4 .

Moreover, when I read in their presence the words that Moses took from those books, they looked to see whether they existed there, and they found them.

It was apparent to me from this that the Ancient Word still exists among them.

In the course of my conversation with them they said they worship Jehovah - some of them worshiping Him as an invisible God, some as a visible one.

Furthermore, they related that they do not allow foreigners to enter their midst, with the exception of the Chinese, with whom they cultivate a peaceful relationship, because the Chinese emperor came from them. They said, too, that their country is so populous that they do not believe any region in the whole world to be more populous - which is also believable on account of the wall extending so many miles which the Chinese once built to protect themselves from being invaded by them.

Inquire concerning the Ancient Word in China, and perhaps you will find it there among the Tartars. 5

Фусноте:

1. A vast region controlled by Mongols in the 13th and 14th centuries, extending from eastern Europe over much of Asia. After the Turkish groups known as Tatars were conquered and assimilated by the Mongols in the early 13th century, the Mongol invaders of Russia and Hungary became known to Europeans as Tatars or Tartars, and their territory was depicted in maps as Great Tartary.

2. "Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: 'Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher?"

3. "Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher."

4. "Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of the Jehovah: 'Waheb in Suphah, the brooks of the Arnon, and the slope of the brooks that reaches to the dwelling of Ar, and lies on the border of Moab.'" "...Therefore the Prophecies say: 'Come to Heshbon, let it be built; let the city of Sihon be repaired. For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon; it consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the heights of the Arnon. Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites. But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon. Then we laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.'"

5. I.e., among the descendants of the Mongols.

Revelation 1

Студија

1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John,

2 who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, about everything that he saw.

3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.

4 John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood;

6 and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen.

8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

9 I John, your brother and partner with you in oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God's Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

11 saying, "What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.

13 And among the lampstands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.

14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

15 His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

16 He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,

18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter;

20 the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lampstands are seven assemblies.
