1 وكان اليّ كلام الرب قائلا

2 وانت يا ابن آدم فارفع مرثاة على صور

3 وقل لصور ايتها الساكنة عند مداخل البحر تاجرة الشعوب الى جزائر كثيرة هكذا قال السيد الرب. يا صور انت قلت انا كاملة الجمال.

4 تخومك في قلب البحور. بنّاؤوك تمموا جمالك.

5 عملوا كل الواحك من سرو سنير. اخذوا ارزا من لبنان ليصنعوه لك سواري.

6 صنعوا من بلوط باشان مجاديفك. صنعوا مقاعدك من عاج مطعّم في البقس من جزائر كتيم.

7 كتان مطرز من مصر هو شراعك ليكون لك راية. الاسمانجوني والارجوان من جزائر اليشة كانا غطاءك.

8 اهل صيدون وارواد كانوا ملاحيك. حكماؤك يا صور الذين كانوا فيك هم ربابينك.

9 شيوخ جبيل وحكماؤها كانوا فيك قلافوك. جميع سفن البحر وملاحوها كانوا فيك ليتاجروا بتجارتك.

10 فارس ولود وفوط كانوا في جيشك رجال حربك. علقوا فيك ترسا وخوذة. هم صيّروا بهاءك.

11 بنو ارواد مع جيشك على الاسوار من حولك والابطال كانوا في بروجك. علقوا اتراسهم على اسوارك من حولك. هم تمموا جمالك.

12 ترشيش تاجرتك بكثرة كل غنى بالفضة والحديد والقصدير والرصاص اقاموا اسواقك.

13 ياوان وتوبال وماشك هم تجارك. بنفوس الناس وبآنية النحاس اقاموا تجارتك.

14 ومن بيت توجرمة بالخيل والفرسان والبغال اقاموا اسواقك.

15 بنو ددان تجارك. جزائر كثيرة تجار يدك. ادّوا هديتك قرونا من العاج والآبنوس.

16 ارام تاجرتك بكثرة صنائعك تاجروا في اسواقك بالبهرمان والارجوان والمطرز والبوص والمرجان والياقوت.

17 يهوذا وارض اسرائيل هم تجارك. تاجروا في سوقك بحنطة منّيت وحلاوى وعسل وزيت وبلسان.

18 دمشق تاجرتك بكثرة صنائعك وكثرة كل غنى بخمر حلبون والصوف الابيض.

19 ودان وياوان قدموا غزلا في اسواقك. حديد مشغول وسليخة وقصب الذريرة كانت في سوقك.

20 ددان تاجرتك بطنافس للركوب.

21 العرب وكل رؤساء قيدار هم تجار يدك بالخرفان والكباش والاعتدة. في هذه كانوا تجارك.

22 تجار شبا ورعمة هم تجارك. بافخر كل انواع الطيب وبكل حجر كريم والذهب اقاموا اسواقك.

23 حران وكنّة وعدن تجار شبا واشور وكلمد تجارك.

24 هؤلاء تجارك بنفائس بأردية اسمانجونية ومطرزة واصونة مبرم معكومة بالحبال مصنوعة من الارز بين بضائعك

25 سفن ترشيش قوافلك لتجارتك فامتلأت وتمجدت جدا في قلب البحار.

26 ملاحوك قد اتوا بك الى مياه كثيرة. كسرتك الريح الشرقية في قلب البحار.

27 ثروتك واسواقك وبضاعتك وملاحوك وربابينك وقلافوك والمتاجرون بمتجرك وجميع رجال حربك الذين فيك وكل جمعك الذي في وسطك يسقطون في قلب البحار في يوم سقوطك.

28 من صوت صراخ ربابينك تتزلزل المسارح.

29 وكل ممسكي المجذاف والملاحون وكل ربابين البحر ينزلون من سفنهم ويقفون على البر

30 ويسمعون صوتهم عليك ويصرخون بمرارة ويذرّون ترابا فوق رؤوسهم ويتمرغون في الرماد.

31 ويجعلون في انفسهم قرعة عليك ويتنطقون بالمسوح ويبكون عليك بمرارة نفس نحيبا مرّا.

32 وفي نوحهم يرفعون عليك مناحة ويرثونك ويقولون اية مدينة كصور كالمسكتة في قلب البحر.

33 عند خروج بضائعك من البحار اشبعت شعوبا كثيرة. بكثرة ثروتك وتجارتك اغنيت ملوك الارض.

34 حين انكسارك من البحار في اعماق المياه سقط متجرك وكل جمعك.

35 كل سكان الجزائر يتحيرون عليك وملوكهنّ يقشعرون اقشعرارا يضطربون في الوجوه.

36 التجار بين الشعوب يصفرون عليك فتكونين اهوالا ولا تكونين بعد الى الابد

10258. 'And cassia' means truth even more interior, springing from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'cassia' as the interior truth of the internal man. The fact that 'cassia' has this meaning is evident from what has been stated and shown above; for heavenly realities follow in that sequence, from outermost to inmost. Inmost truth therefore is what 'cassia' means, being the fourth in the sequence. The reason why 'cassia' means truth springing from good is that inmost truth emanates directly from good and acts jointly with good on lower levels, as is the case when the understanding acts altogether in unison with the will, so completely that one cannot tell whether an action springs from the will or from the understanding. Also, the more internal heavenly things are, the more perfect they are; for all perfection increases towards the more internal parts, and all perfection springs from good, that is, comes from the Lord through good.

[2] Cassia is mentioned as one of those wares that mean heavenly things, in Ezekiel,

Dan and Javan exchanged yarn in your dealings; wrought iron, cassia, and calamus were in your trading. Ezekiel 27:19.

This refers to Tyre, by which cognitions or knowledge of truth and good in the Church are meant, see 1201, and by 'Dan and Javan' those possessing the cognitions of heavenly things. 'Wrought iron' is last and lowest heavenly truth, and 'cassia' inmost truth.

[3] Cassia is not mentioned anywhere else in the Word, though 'kessia' 1 is in David, which also is a species of cassia,

God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness. With myrrh, aloes, and kessia [He has anointed] all Your garments. Psalms 45:7-8.

The whole of this Psalm refers to the Lord, in particular to the glorification of His Humanity. No one lacking knowledge of the internal sense of the Word can by any means know what is meant, when the Lord is the subject, by 'anointing all His garments with myrrh, aloes, and kessia'.

[4] It is evident that what should be thought of is not garments nor the myrrh, aloes, and kessia with which they were anointed, but the Divine Truths springing from Divine Good with which the Lord clothed His Human; for anointing was nothing other than a representative sign of the Divine Good within the Lord's Divine Human. Consequently 'myrrh, aloes, and kessia' means Divine Truths in their own proper order, emanating from the Divine Good that was within Him; and therefore His Divine Human is meant by 'garments'. Whether you say the Lord's Divine Human or Divine Truth, it amounts to the same thing, for while He was in the world the Lord was Divine Truth itself, and when He left the world He made Himself Divine Good, from which Divine Truth flows, see in the places referred to in 9199(end), 9315(end). Besides, the term 'garment' is used in the Word for that which clothes something else, whatever this may be. The Lord's garments in Isaiah 63:2-3, and elsewhere, have this kind of meaning. For the meaning of 'garments' as truths clothing good, see 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 9093, 9212, 9216, 9952. From all this it is now evident that 'kessia' in the Psalm, which is a species of cassia, means Divine Truth, emanating directly from Divine Good, which truth is inmost truth.

脚注:

1. The Hebrew word which appears in Psalms 45:8 is q'tsi-oth, the plural of q'tsi-ah, while that in Exodus 30:24 and Ezekiel 27:19 is qiddah. Nowadays both Hebrew words are taken to mean cassia; but the unusual spelling kessia is used to show the difference.

Genesis第18章

学习

   

1 Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don't go away from your servant.

4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

5 I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."

6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."

7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.

8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

9 They asked him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?" He said, "See, in the tent."

10 He said, "I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

13 Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?'

14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

17 Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

18 since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."

20 Yahweh said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know."

22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

25 Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"

26 Yahweh said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."

27 Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."

29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."

30 He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

31 He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."

32 He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."

33 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
