Genesis 3

pag-aaral

   

1 Ang ahas nga ay lalong tuso kay sa alin man sa mga hayop sa parang na nilikha ng Panginoong Dios. At sinabi niya sa babae, Tunay bang sinabi ng Dios, Huwag kayong kakain sa alin mang punong kahoy sa halamanan?

2 At sinabi ng babae sa ahas, Sa bunga ng mga punong kahoy sa halamanan ay makakakain kami:

3 Datapuwa't sa bunga ng punong kahoy na nasa gitna ng halamanan ay sinabi ng Dios, Huwag kayong kakain niyaon, ni huwag ninyong hihipuin, baka kayo'y mamatay.

4 At sinabi ng ahas sa babae, Tunay na hindi kayo mamamatay:

5 Sapagka't talastas ng Dios na sa araw na kayo'y kumain niyaon ay madidilat nga ang inyong mga mata, at kayo'y magiging parang Dios, na nakakakilala ng mabuti at masama.

6 At nang makita ng babae, na ang bunga ng punong kahoy ay mabuting kanin, at nakalulugod sa mga mata, at kahoy na mananasa upang magpapantas sa tao, ay pumitas siya ng bunga niyaon at kinain; at binigyan din niya ang kaniyang asawang kasama niya, at ito'y kumain.

7 At nadilat kapuwa ang kanilang mga mata, at kanilang nakilalang sila'y mga hubad; at sila'y tumahi ng mga dahon ng puno ng igos, at kanilang ginawang panapi.

8 At narinig nila ang tinig ng Panginoong Dios na lumalakad sa halamanan sa kulimlim ng araw: at nagtago ang lalake at ang kaniyang asawa sa harapan ng Panginoong Dios sa pagitan ng mga punong kahoy sa halamanan.

9 At tinawag ng Panginoong Dios ang lalake at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Saan ka naroon?

10 At sinabi niya, Narinig ko ang iyong tinig sa halamanan, at ako'y natakot, sapagka't ako'y hubad; at ako'y nagtago.

11 At sinabi niya, Sinong nagsabi sa iyong ikaw ay hubad? nakakain ka ba ng bunga ng punong kahoy, na iniutos ko sa iyong huwag mong kanin?

12 At sinabi ng lalake, Ang babaing ibinigay mong aking kasamahin, ay siyang nagbigay sa akin ng bunga ng punong kahoy at aking kinain.

13 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios sa babae, Ano itong iyong ginawa? At sinabi ng babae, Dinaya ako ng ahas, at ako'y kumain.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios sa ahas, Sapagka't ginawa mo ito, ay sumpain ka ng higit sa lahat ng hayop, at ng higit sa bawa't ganid sa parang; ang iyong tiyan ang ilalakad mo, at alabok ang iyong kakanin sa lahat ng mga araw ng iyong buhay:

15 At papagaalitin ko ikaw at ang babae, at ang iyong binhi at ang kaniyang binhi: ito ang dudurog ng iyong ulo, at ikaw ang dudurog ng kaniyang sakong.

16 Sinabi niya sa babae, Pararamihin kong lubha ang iyong kalumbayan at ang iyong paglilihi; manganganak kang may kahirapan; at sa iyong asawa ay pahihinuhod ang iyong kalooban, at siya'y papapanginoon sa iyo.

17 At kay Adam ay sinabi, Sapagka't iyong dininig ang tinig ng iyong asawa, at kumain ka ng bunga ng punong kahoy na aking iniutos sa iyo na sinabi, Huwag kang kakain niyaon; sumpain ang lupa dahil sa iyo; kakain ka sa kaniya sa pamamagitan ng iyong pagpapagal sa lahat ng mga araw ng iyong buhay;

18 Ang isisibol niyaon sa iyo ay mga tinik at mga dawag; at kakain ka ng pananim sa parang;

19 Sa pawis ng iyong mukha ay kakain ka ng tinapay, hanggang sa ikaw ay mauwi sa lupa; sapagka't diyan ka kinuha: sapagka't ikaw ay alabok at sa alabok ka uuwi.

20 At tinawag na Eva ng lalake ang kaniyang asawa, sapagka't siya ang naging ina ng lahat ng mga nabubuhay.

21 At iginawa ng Panginoong Dios si Adam at ang kaniyang asawa ng mga kasuutang balat at sila'y dinamitan.

22 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito't ang tao'y naging parang isa sa atin, na nakakakilala ng mabuti at ng masama; at baka ngayo'y iunat ang kaniyang kamay at pumitas naman ng bunga ng punong kahoy ng buhay, at kumain at mabuhay magpakailan man:

23 Kaya pinalayas siya ng Panginoong Dios sa halamanan ng Eden, upang kaniyang bukirin ang lupaing pinagkunan sa kaniya.

24 Ano pa't itinaboy ang lalake; at inilagay sa silanganan ng halamanan ng Eden ang mga Querubin at ang isang nagniningas na tabak na umiikot, upang ingatan ang daang patungo sa kahoy ng buhay.

420. In the Word mention is made of various instruments, each having its own signification, as will be shown, of the Lord’s Divine mercy, in its proper place; here however we shall adduce only what is said in David:

I will sacrifice in the tent of Jehovah sacrifices of shouting, I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto Jehovah (Psalms 27:6),

where by “tent” is expressed what is celestial, and by “shouting” “singing” and “singing praises” what is spiritual thence derived. Again:

Sing unto Jehovah, O ye righteous, for His praise is comely for the upright; confess ye to Jehovah on the harp, sing unto Him with the psaltery, an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song, play skillfully with a loud noise; for the Word of Jehovah is right, and all His work is in the truth (Psalms 33:1-4),

denoting the truths of faith, concerning which these things are said.

[2] Spiritual things, or the truths and goods of faith, were celebrated with the harp and psaltery, with singing and analogous instruments, but the holy or celestial things of faith were celebrated with wind instruments, such as trumpets and the like; and this was why so many instruments were used about the temple and so often, in order that this or that subject might be celebrated with certain instruments; and in consequence of this the instruments came to be taken and understood for the subjects that were celebrated with them.

[3] Again:

I will confess to Thee with the psaltery, even Thy truth, O my God; unto Thee will I sing praises with the harp, O Thou Holy One of Israel; my lips shall sing when I sing praises unto Thee, and my soul which Thou hast redeemed (Psalms 71:22-23), where also the truths of faith are signified. Again:

Answer to Jehovah in confession, sing praises upon the harp unto our God (Psalms 147:7)

“confession” has respect to the celestial things of faith, and therefore mention is made of “Jehovah;” and to “sing praises upon the harp” has reference to the spiritual things of faith, wherefore “God” is spoken of. Again:

Let them praise the name of Jehovah in the dance, let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp (Psalms 49:3), where the “timbrel” signifies good, and the “harp” truth, which they praise.

[4] Again:

Praise God with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with the psaltery and harp; praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and the organ; praise Him upon the loud cymbals; praise Him upon the cymbals of shouting (Psalms 150:3-4, 5).

These instruments denote the goods and the truths of faith which were the subjects of praise; for let no one believe that so many different instruments would have been here mentioned unless each had a distinct signification. Again, referring to the knowledges of good and truth:

O send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me, let them bring me unto the mountain of Thy holiness, and to Thy habitations, and I will go in to the altar of God, unto God, the gladness of my exultation; yea, I will confess unto Thee upon the harp, O God, my God (Psalms 43:3-4).

[5] In Isaiah, referring to the things that are of faith, and the knowledges thereof:

Take a harp, go about the city, play well, sing many songs, that thou mayest be called to remembrance (Isaiah 23:16).

The same is expressed still more plainly in John:

The four animals and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having everyone of them harps, and golden vials full of incense offerings, which are the prayers of the saints (Revelation 5:8),

where it must be evident to everyone that the animals and elders had not harps, but that by “harps” are signified the truths of faith, and by “golden vials full of incense offerings” the goods of faith.

In David the performances on the instruments are called “praises” and “confessions” (Psalms 42:5; 69:31). And in another place in John:

I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps, and they sang a new song (Revelation 14:2-3).

And in another place:

I saw them standing by the sea of glass having the harps of God (Revelation 15:2).It is worthy of mention that angels and spirits distinguish sounds according to their differences with respect to good and truth, not only those produced in singing and by instruments, but also those of voices; and they admit none but such as are in accord, so that there may be a concord of the sounds, and consequently of the instruments, with the nature and essence of the good and the true.
