Genesis 9

Studie

   

1 Dievas laimino Nojų bei jo sūnus ir tarė: “Būkite vaisingi, dauginkitės ir pripildykite žemę.

2 Tesibijo jūsų ir tedreba prieš jus visi žemės žvėrys, visi padangių sparnuočiai, visa, kas gyva žemėje, ir visos jūros žuvys. Visa tai atiduota į jūsų rankas.

3 Visa, kas juda ir gyva, bus jums maistui; visa jums duodu, kaip daviau žaliuojančius augalus.

4 Tik mėsos su gyvybe, kuri yra kraujyje, nevalgykite.

5 Iš tiesų už jūsų gyvybės kraują Aš pareikalausiu iš kiekvieno žvėries ir žmogaus, kuris pralietų savo brolio kraują.

6 Kas pralieja žmogaus kraują, jo kraujas taip pat bus pralietas, nes žmogus sutvertas pagal Dievo atvaizdą.

7 Jūs būkite vaisingi ir dauginkitės, pliskite po žemę ir pripildykite ją!”

8 Dievas tarė Nojui ir jo sūnums kartu su juo:

9 “Aš darau sandorą su jumis ir jūsų palikuonimis, kurie gyvens po jūsų,

10 ir su visais gyvais padarais, visais paukščiais, galvijais ir žvėrimis, kurie išėjo su jumis iš arkos.

11 Aš darau savo sandorą su jumis: jokio kūno nebepražudysiu tvano vandenimis, ir tvanas nebesunaikins žemės”.

12 Ir Dievas tarė: “Ženklas sandoros, kurią darau tarp savęs ir jūsų bei visų gyvų padarų, kurie yra su jumis, per visas būsimas kartas

13 bus lankas debesyse. Jis tebūna sandoros ženklu tarp manęs ir žemės.

14 Sutelkęs debesis viršum žemės ir lankui pasirodžius debesyse,

15 atsiminsiu savo sandorą, kuri yra tarp manęs ir jūsų bei visų gyvų padarų, kad daugiau nebūtų tvano, sunaikinančio kiekvieną kūną žemėje.

16 Kai lankas bus debesyse, Aš jį pamatysiu ir atsiminsiu amžinąją sandorą tarp Dievo ir visų gyvų padarų, turinčių kūną, kurie yra ant žemės”.

17 Dievas tarė Nojui: “Tai yra sandoros ženklas, kurią Aš darau tarp savęs ir kiekvieno kūno, gyvenančio žemėje”.

18 Nojaus sūnūs, kurie išėjo iš arkos, buvo Semas, Chamas ir Jafetas; Chamas buvo Kanaano tėvas.

19 Šie trys yra Nojaus sūnūs ir iš jų atsirado visi žemės gyventojai.

20 Nojus pradėjo dirbti žemę ir įsiveisė vynuogyną.

21 Išgėręs vyno, pasigėrė ir gulėjo apsinuoginęs savo palapinėje.

22 Chamas, Kanaano tėvas, pamatęs savo tėvo nuogumą, pasakė broliams, kurie buvo lauke.

23 Semas ir Jafetas paėmė apsiaustą ir abu, užsimetę ant pečių, priėjo atbuli, ir apdengė savo tėvo nuogumą; jų veidai buvo nukreipti į priešingą pusę ir jie nematė savo tėvo nuogumo.

24 Nojus, išsiblaivęs nuo vyno ir sužinojęs, ką jam padarė jaunesnysis sūnus,

25 tarė: “Tebūna prakeiktas Kanaanas! Vergų vergas tebūna jis savo broliams!

26 Palaimintas Viešpats, Semo Dievas, o Kanaanas bus jo vergas!

27 Teišplečia Dievas Jafetą, ir tegu jis gyvena Semo palapinėse, o Kanaanas bus jo vergas!”

28 Tvanui praėjus, Nojus dar gyveno tris šimtus penkiasdešimt metų.

29 Taigi Nojaus amžius buvo devyni šimtai penkiasdešimt metų, ir jis mirė.

789. The waverings of the member of this Church are described here first of all by the waters, that is, falsities, increasing; then by their raising the ark; further still by its being lifted above the earth; after that by the waters growing more and more and increasing greatly over the earth; and finally by the ark going over the face 1 of the waters. It would however take far too long and it would be superfluous to describe individual waverings. It is sufficient just to know that they are being described here. Let merely the statement be considered that the ark was lifted above the earth and went over the face 1 of the waters. Its meaning becomes clear to no one unless he has been told about how a person is withheld from evils and falsities. This being an arcanum it must be described briefly. Everyone in general, including a regenerate person, is such that unless the Lord withholds him from evils and falsities he hurls himself headlong into hell. The moment he is not being withheld he rushes headlong in that direction. This has been made known to me through actual experiences, and has also been represented to me by a horse, about which see 187, 188. This withholding from evils and falsities is nothing other than 'a lifting up' so that evils and falsities are perceived as being beneath, and man himself above. This lifting up will in the Lord's Divine mercy be dealt with later on. It is what is meant by the statements about the ark being lifted above the earth and about the ark going over the face 1 of the waters.

Genesis 7

Studie

   

1 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

8 Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

10 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

12 The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

19 The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
