Deuteronomium第13章

学习

   

1 Povstal-li by u prostřed tebe prorok, aneb někdo, ješto by míval sny, a ukázal by tobě znamení aneb zázrak,

2 Byť se pak i stalo to znamení aneb zázrak, a mluvil by tobě, řka: Poďme, následujme bohů cizích, (kterýchž neznáš,) a služme jim:

3 Neuposlechneš slov proroka toho, ani snáře, nebo zkušuje vás Hospodin Bůh váš, aby známé bylo, milujete-li Hospodina Boha svého z celého srdce svého a z celé duše své.

4 Hospodina Boha svého následujte, a jeho se bojte, přikázaní jeho ostříhejte, hlasu jeho poslouchejte, jemu služte a jeho se přídržte.

5 Prorok pak ten aneb snář zamordován bude, nebo mluvil to, čímž by odvrátil vás od Hospodina Boha vašeho, (kterýž vyvedl vás z země Egyptské, a vykoupil tě z domu služby,) aby tě srazil s cesty, kterouž přikázal tobě Hospodin Bůh tvůj, abys chodil po ní; a tak odejmeš zlé z prostředku svého.

6 Jestliže by tě tajně nabádal bratr tvůj, syn matky tvé, aneb syn tvůj, aneb dcera tvá, aneb manželka, kteráž jest v lůně tvém, aneb přítel tvůj, kterýžť by milý byl jako duše tvá, řka: Poďme a služme bohům cizím, (kterýchž jsi neznal ty ani otcové tvoji),

7 Z bohů pohanských, kteříž vůkol vás jsou, buď blízko aneb daleko od tebe, od jednoho konce země až do druhého konce jejího,

8 Nepovoluj jemu, aniž ho poslouchej;neodpustíť mu oko tvé, aniž se slituješ, aniž zatajíš ho,

9 Ale bez milosti zabiješ jej; ruka tvá nejprv na něj bude vztažena, abys ho zabil, a potom ruce všeho lidu.

10 A ukamenuješ jej až do smrti, nebo chtěl odvésti tebe od Hospodina Boha tvého, kterýž tě vyvedl z země Egyptské, z domu služby,

11 Aby všecken lid Izraelský, uslyšíce to, báli se, a nečinili více něco podobného věci této nejhorší u prostřed tebe.

12 Uslyšel-li bys o některém městě svém, kteréž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dá tobě, abys tam bydlil, ani praví:

13 Vyšli muži, lidé nešlechetní z prostředku tvého, kteříž svedli spoluobyvatele své, řkouce: Poďme, služme bohům cizím, kterýchž neznáte:

14 Tedy vyhledej a vyzvěz a dobře se na to vyptej, a jestliže jest pravda a jistá věc, že ohavnost se stala u prostřed tebe,

15 Zbiješ obyvatele města toho mečem, a jako věc proklatou zkazíš je i všecko, což by v něm bylo, hovada také jeho mečem pobiješ.

16 A všecky kořisti jeho shromáždíš u prostřed ulice jeho, a spálíš ohněm to město i všecky kořisti jeho docela Hospodinu Bohu svému, aby byla hromada rumu věčná; a nebude více staveno.

17 A nevezmeš ničehož z věcí proklatých, aby Hospodin odvrátil se od hněvu prchlivosti své, a učinil tobě milosrdenství svá, a smiloval se nad tebou, i rozmnožil tě, jakož s přísahou zaslíbil otcům tvým.

18 Protož poslouchati budeš hlasu Hospodina Boha svého, ostříhaje všech přikázaní jeho, kteráž já dnes přikazuji tobě, abys činil, což pravého jest, před očima Hospodina Boha svého.

The White Horse#2

学习本章节

2. In the prophetical parts of the Word a horse is mentioned very often, 1 but until now no one has known 'horse' means understanding, and 'horseman' one who understands, perhaps because it seems extraordinary and astonishing that that is what is meant by 'horse' in a spiritual sense, and consequently in the Word. But that it constantly means this can be agreed from very many instances in the Word, from which I should like to refer to only a few at this point.

In Israel's prophetic utterance 2 about Dan we find:

Dan will be a serpent on the road, a darting snake 3 on the path, that will bite the horse's heels, and the horseman will fall backwards. Genesis 49:17-18.

What this prophetic statement about one of the tribes of Israel means no one is going to understand unless he knows what 'serpent' signifies, and also 'horse' and 'horseman." Yet is there anyone who does not see that it holds something spiritual within it? This being so, what the individual details signify may be seen in Arcana Caelestia 6398-6401, where this prophetical utterance is explained.

In Habakkuk we find:

O Lord [...] You ride on Your horses and Your chariots are salvation [...] You caused Your horses to tread in the sea. Habakkuk 3:8, 15.

It is obvious that 'horses' here signify something spiritual, because these things are being said about God. What else would it be, 'God rode on [his] horses, and caused [his] horses to tread in the sea?'

In Zechariah we find, with a similar significance:

'On that day, HOLY TO THE LORD will be on the horse-bells', Zechariah 14:20. 4

In the same authority:

On that day I will strike every horse with bewilderment and the horseman with madness, declares the Lord, I will open my gaze on the house of Judah, and I will strike with blindness every horse of the peoples. Zechariah 12:4-5.

What is being talked about here is the Church when it has been laid waste, which happens when there is no longer an understanding of anything true. This is what is being indicated by 'horse' and 'horseman;' what else would it be, [...] every horse about to be struck with bewilderment [...] and the horse of the peoples with blindness?' What, otherwise, would this have to do with the Church?

In Job we find:

'Because God has made her 5 forget wisdom, neither has He imparted to her understanding; having raised herself on high, she mocks the horse and its rider' Job 39:17-19.

That understanding is signified here by 'horse' is manifestly obvious; similarly in David, where the expression 'to ride upon the word of truth' is used, Psalms 45:5; and besides in very many other places.

Moreover, who is likely to know why it is that Elijah and Elisha were called 'the chariots of Israel and its horsemen;' and why there appeared to Elisha's servant a mountain full of horses and fiery chariots, unless it is known what 'chariots' and horsemen' signify, and what Elijah and Elisha represented? For Elisha said to Elijah, My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen,' 2 Kings 2:11-12; and King Joash said to Elisha, 'My father, my father [...] the chariots of Israel and its horsemen,' 2 Kings 13:14.

Concerning the servant of Elisha we read:

'The Lord opened the eyes of Elisha's servant, and he looked and saw the mountain full of horses and fiery chariots all around Elisha' 2 Kings 6:17.

Elijah and Elisha were called the chariots of Israel and its horsemen because each represented the Lord in his capacity as the Word. 'Chariots' represent doctrine derived from the Word, and 'horsemen' represent understanding. That Elijah and Elisha represented the Lord in this capacity may be seen in Arcana Caelestia: 5247, 7643, 8029, 9327, and that 'chariots' signify doctrine derived from the Word: 5321, 8215.

脚注:

1. The text has simply equus (horse) at this point, but there is a 'parallel passage' in Arcana Caelestia 2761, stating equus et eques (horse and horseman): the sense of what follows in the current passage suggests that Swedenborg intends equus et eques here.

2. The Revd John Elliott points out that 'Israel here of course means the patriarch Jacob."

3. Biblical translations are based on the Schmidt Latin translation (1696) as apparently used by Swedenborg, though here, as sometimes elsewhere, Swedenborg does misquote (in this case inserting jaculus after the second serpens). Lewis and Shorts Latin Dictionary, always an interesting source, glosses jaculus as follows: 'sc. serpens, a serpent that darts from a tree on its prey."

4. The Revd John Elliott: As I understand it, this is not a statement on the horse-bells to the effect that the bells are holy but that they ring out the holiness of things attributable to the Lord. (A bit like the bells rung in a catholic mass which draw the worshippers' attention to the just-consecrated host or wine that is being elevated.)'

5. Her: The Hebrew pronoun in Job 39:17-18, which refers to a bird, is feminine. Although Swedenborg rendered it eum (him) in 2762 and here in De Equo Albo, eam (her) occurs in other places of his works where this verse is quoted.
