以西结书第18章

学习

   

1 耶和华的话又临到我说：

2 你们在以色列地怎麽用这俗语说父亲吃了酸葡萄，儿子的牙酸倒了呢？

3 主耶和华说：我指着我的永生起誓，你们在以色列中，必不再有用这俗语的因由。

4 看哪，世人都是属我的；为父的怎样属我，为子的也照样属我；犯罪的，他必死亡。

5 人若是公义，且行正直与合理的事：

6 未曾在山上吃过祭偶像之物，未曾仰望以色列家的偶像，未曾玷污邻舍的妻，未曾在妇人的经期内亲近他，

7 未曾亏负人，乃将欠债之人的当头还给他；未曾抢夺人的物件，却将食物给饥饿的人吃，将衣服给赤身的人穿；

8 未曾向借钱的弟兄取利，也未曾向借粮的弟兄多要，缩手不作罪孽，在两人之间，按至理判断；

9 遵行我的律例，谨守我的典章，按诚实行事─这人是公义的，必定存活。这是主耶和华说的。

10 他若生一个儿子，作强盗，是流人血的，不行以上所说之善，反行其中之恶，乃在山上吃过祭偶像之物，并玷污邻舍的妻，

11 a

12 亏负困苦和穷乏的人，抢夺人的物，未曾将当头还给人，仰望偶像，并行可憎的事，

13 向借钱的弟兄取利，向借粮的弟兄多要─这人岂能存活呢？他必不能存活。他行这一切可憎的事，必要死亡，他的罪（原文是血）必归到他身上。

14 他若生一个儿子，见父亲所犯的一切罪便惧怕（有古卷：思量），不照样去做；

15 未曾在山上吃过祭偶像之物，未曾仰望以色列家的偶像，未曾玷污邻舍的妻，

16 未曾亏负人，未曾取人的当头，未曾抢夺人的物件，却将食物给饥饿的人吃，将衣服给赤身的人穿，

17 缩手不害贫穷人，未曾向借钱的弟兄取利，也未曾向借粮的弟兄多要；他顺从我的典章，遵行我的律例，就不因父亲的罪孽死亡，定要存活。

18 至於他父亲；因为欺人太甚，抢夺弟兄，在本国的民中行不善，他必因自己的罪孽死亡。

19 你们还说：儿子为何不担当父亲的罪孽呢？儿子行正直与合理的事，谨守遵行我的一切律例，他必定存活。

20 惟有犯罪的，他必死亡。儿子必不担当父亲的罪孽，父亲也不担当儿子的罪孽。义人的善果必归自己，恶人的恶报也必归自己。

21 恶人若回头离开所做的一切罪恶，谨守我一切的律例，行正直与合理的事，他必定存活，不致死亡。

22 他所犯的一切罪过都不被记念，因所行的义，他必存活。

23 主耶和华说：恶人死亡，岂是我喜悦的麽？不是喜悦他回头离开所行的道存活麽？

24 义人若转离义行而作罪孽，照着恶人所行一切可憎的事而行，他岂能存活麽？他所行的一切义都不被记念；他必因所犯的罪、所行的恶死亡。

25 你们还说：主的道不公平！以色列家啊，你们当听，我的道岂不公平麽？你们的道岂不是不公平麽？

26 义人若转离义行而作罪孽死亡，他是因所作的罪孽死亡。

27 再者，恶人若回头离开所行的恶，行正直与合理的事，他必将性命救活了。

28 因为他思量，回头离开所犯的一切罪过，必定存活，不致死亡。

29 以色列家还说：主的道不公平！以色列家啊，我的道岂不公平麽？你们的道岂不是不公平麽？

30 所以主耶和华说：以色列家啊，我必按你们各人所行的审判你们。你们当回头离开所犯的一切罪过。这样，罪孽必不使你们败亡。

31 你们要将所犯的一切罪过尽行抛弃，自做一个新心和新灵。以色列家啊，你们何必死亡呢？

32 主耶和华说：我不喜悦那死人之死，所以你们当回头而存活。

/418  
  

141. Internal Meaning of Ezekiel, Chapter 18

1-2 It is said, If the fathers are evil their offspring also are evil;, (2, 11)

3 but the offspring are not condemned on the father's account, but everyone on His own account. (2, 11, 11)

5-9 There are some of the offspring who do not commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church, and these are saved. (2, 11, 11)

10-13 It is otherwise with the offspring who commit evils, or act contrary to the goods and truths of the church; these are condemned. (2, 11)

14-17 But He who does not do this is saved, (11, 3)

18 although the fathers are condemned. (2)

19-20 Everyone is dealt with according to His deeds. (2)

21-23 The impious man who is converted is saved, (2)

24 while the pious man, if he becomes impious, is condemned. (2)

25-29 Both are of Divine justice. (2)

30-32 Exhortation to be converted, because the Lord wishes the salvation of all. (2)

--------------------

Editor's Introduction: In this work, Emanuel Swedenborg outlined the internal meaning of all the Prophetical Books, from Isaiah to Malachi, and the Psalms, and then the first 16 chapters of Genesis. It provides a survey of the inner meaning of a substantial portion of the Old Testament, in one place.

This work was written by Swedenborg in Latin, in 1761. It was translated from Latin into English by Rev. J. E. Schreck, and this translation was published by the Swedenborg Foundation, in New York, in 1900. This modified version of Schreck's 1900 translation does not update the text; instead just modifying numbering and formatting for clarity of use online.

Each chapter of each book of the Prophets has one corresponding numbered section in Swedenborg's explanation of its inner meaning, or internal sense. Swedenborg listed the verses that relate to each outlined point. We have added hyperlinks to the verse references, shown to the left of each outlined point. The Psalms and initial chapters of Genesis are treated in a similar fashion.

This work was not published by Swedenborg, but it is consistent with other more detailed treatments made in his published works. For example, Swedenborg refers to this work in Doctrine of the Lord 37.

Readers may also find these comparisons useful:

- No. 124 of this work, explaining Ezekiel 1, with The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Sacred Scripture 97,

- Nos. 161, 162, explaining Ezekiel 38, and 39, with Apocalypse Revealed 859,

- No. 236, explaining Zechariah 4, with Apocalypse Revealed 43, and

- Nos. 244-246 of this work, explaining Zechariah 12, 13, 14, with Apocalypse Revealed 707.

In the manuscript, at the beginning, Swedenborg wrote out a list of works that he intended to write and publish. While it's clearly related to the project of outlining the internal meaning of the Prophets, Psalms, and historical parts of the Word, it seems to be an independent list. We reproduce Rev. Schreck's translation of that list here:

"To Be Published:

1. Concerning the Lord.

2. Concerning the Sacred Scripture or concerning the Word of the Lord.

3. All things of religion and of the worship of God in one complex in the Decalogue.

4. Concerning Faith.

5. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine Providence.

6. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine omnipotence and omniscience, and concerning infinity and eternity.

7. Angelic wisdom concerning life.

8. Angelic wisdom concerning the Divine love and Divine wisdom."

脚注:

1. In the original Latin manuscript, Swedenborg cross-referred the outlined internal sense to a more general Table of Subjects, shown above. In the following passages, those references are shown in parentheses, e.g. (3) would refer to subject number 3 above. We received the Latin text for this "front matter" from the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation.

2. Editor's Note (Schreck): No. 14 is crossed out by Swedenborg in his MS., and is never referred to in the text. It reads, "The state of unition with His Divine," which is the same as No. 10.

Doctrine of the Lord 3 for an outline of a similar set of themes that form the internal sense of the prophetical books.
