Ezekiel第32章

学习

   

1 En la dek-dua jaro, en la dek-dua monato, en la unua tago de la monato, aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

2 Ho filo de homo, ekkantu funebran kanton pri Faraono, regxo de Egiptujo, kaj diru al li:Vi estas kiel leonido inter la nacioj, vi estas kiel drako en la maroj, vi saltas en viaj riveroj, vi movmalklarigas la akvon per viaj piedoj, vi malkvietigas iliajn riverojn.

3 Tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:Mi jxetos sur vin Mian reton per granda amaso da popoloj, kaj ili eltiros vin per Mia reto.

4 Kaj Mi jxetos vin sur la teron, sur nekovritan kampon Mi vin jxetos, kaj Mi sidigos sur vi cxiajn birdojn de la cxielo, kaj Mi satigos de vi la bestojn de la tuta tero.

5 Mi disjxetos vian karnon sur la montojn, kaj Mi plenigos la valojn per via kadavrajxo.

6 La landon de via nagxado Mi malsekigos per via sango gxis la montoj, kaj la valoj estos plenaj de vi.

7 Kiam vi estingigxos, Mi kovros la cxielon kaj senlumigos gxiajn stelojn, la sunon Mi kovros per nubo, kaj la luno ne havos sian lumon.

8 CXiujn fontojn de lumo en la cxielo Mi senlumigos pro vi, kaj mallumon Mi metos sur vian landon, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

9 Mi maltrankviligos la korojn de multaj popoloj, kiam Mi venigos la scion pri via pereo inter la naciojn, en landojn, kiujn vi ne konis.

10 Mi teruros pro vi multajn popolojn, kaj iliaj regxoj ektremos pro vi, kiam Mi svingos Mian glavon antaux iliaj vizagxoj, kaj cxiu el ili cxiuminute tremos pri sia vivo en la tago de via falo.

11 CXar tiele diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo:La glavo de la regxo de Babel venos sur vin.

12 Per la glavo de fortuloj Mi faligos vian multenombran popolon; cxiuj ili estas la plej teruraj el la nacioj, kaj ili neniigos la belecon de Egiptujo, kaj gxia tuta homomulto estos ekstermita.

13 Mi pereigos cxiujn gxiajn brutojn apud la abundaj akvoj, kaj ilin ne plu malklarigos piedo de homo nek la hufoj de bruto.

14 Tiam Mi ripozpurigos iliajn akvojn, kaj iliajn riverojn Mi fluigos kiel oleon, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

15 Kiam Mi faros la landon Egiptan dezerto, kaj la lando perdos cxion, kion gxi havis, kiam Mi mortigos cxiujn, kiuj logxas en gxi, tiam oni ekscios, ke Mi estas la Eternulo.

16 Tio estas funebra kanto, kiun oni kantos; la filinoj de la nacioj gxin kantos, pri Egiptujo kaj pri gxia tuta grandnombra popolo ili gxin kantos, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

17 En la dek-dua jaro, en la dek-kvina tago de la sama monato, aperis al mi vorto de la Eternulo, dirante:

18 Ho filo de homo, priploru la popolon de Egiptujo, kaj pusxu gxin kaj la filinojn de potencaj nacioj en la profundon subteran kune kun tiuj, kiuj iris en la tombon.

19 CXu vi estas pli bona ol iu? falu, kaj kusxu kun la necirkumciditoj.

20 Inter tiuj, kiuj mortis de glavo, ili falos; al la glavo gxi estas transdonita; oni tiros gxin kaj gxian tutan grandnombran popolon.

21 Ekparolos al gxi la potencaj herooj el meze de SXeol, kiuj kune kun gxiaj helpantoj malsupreniris kaj ekkusxis necirkumciditaj, mortigitaj de glavo.

22 Tie estas Asirio kaj gxia tuta homomulto; cxirkauxe de gxi estas gxiaj tomboj; cxiuj ili estas mortigitaj, falis de glavo.

23 GXiaj tomboj estas en la profundo de la terinterno, kaj gxia homomulto estas cxirkaux gxia tombo; cxiuj ili estas mortigitaj, falintaj de glavo, ili, kiuj jxetadis cxirkaux si teruron sur la tero de la vivantoj.

24 Tie estas Elam kaj gxia tuta homomulto, cxirkauxe estas gxiaj tomboj; cxiuj ili estas mortigitoj, kiuj falis de glavo kaj necirkumcidite malsupreniris en la profundon subteran, la samaj, kiuj jxetadis cxirkaux si teruron sur la tero de la vivantoj; ili portis sian honton kune kun tiuj, kiuj iris en la tombon.

25 Meze de mortigitoj estas donita kusxejo al gxi kun gxia tuta homomulto; cxirkauxe estas iliaj tomboj; cxiuj ili estas necirkumciditaj, mortigitaj de glavo; cxar ili jxetadis cxirkaux si teruron sur la tero de la vivantoj, tial ili portis sian honton kun tiuj, kiuj iris en la tombon, kaj ili estas metitaj inter la mortigitojn.

26 Tie estas Mesxehx kaj Tubal kaj ilia tuta homomulto, cxirkauxe estas iliaj tomboj; cxiuj ili estas necirkumciditaj, mortigitaj de glavo, cxar ili jxetadis cxirkaux si teruron sur la tero de la vivantoj.

27 Ili ne kusxas kun la herooj, kiuj falis de necirkumciditoj kaj iris en SXeolon kun siaj bataliloj kaj metis siajn glavojn sub siajn kapojn; iliaj malbonagoj restis sur iliaj ostoj, cxar kiel fortuloj ili jxetadis cxirkaux si teruron sur la tero de la vivantoj.

28 Kaj vi ankaux estos frakasita meze de la necirkumciditoj, kaj kusxos kun tiuj, kiuj estas mortigitaj de glavo.

29 Tie estas Edom kun siaj regxoj kaj kun cxiuj siaj princoj, kiuj malgraux sia forteco estas jxetitaj al tiuj, kiuj falis de glavo; ili kusxas kun la necirkumciditoj, kaj kun tiuj, kiuj iris en la tombon.

30 Tie estas cxiuj princoj de la nordo, kaj cxiuj Cidonanoj, kiuj malsupreniris kune kun la mortigitoj; ili hontas pri la teruro, kiun jxetadis ilia forto; ili kusxas necirkumciditaj kun tiuj, kiuj falis de glavo, kaj ili portas sian honton kun tiuj, kiuj iris en la tombon.

31 Ilin Faraono vidos, kaj li konsoligxos pri sia tuta popolo, mortigita de glavo, Faraono kaj lia tuta militistaro, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

32 CXar Mi jxetos Mian teruron sur la teron de la vivantoj; kaj inter la necirkumciditojn, kune kun tiuj, kiuj estas mortigitaj de glavo, estos metita Faraono kun sia tuta homomulto, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

7729. 'Not a hoof shall be left behind' means that nothing at all of the truth from good shall be lacking. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hoof' as truth from good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'not being left behind' as not to be lacking, that is, from worship of the Lord. In the internal sense nearest to the literal 'not a hoof shall be left behind' means that nothing whatever shall be lacking, for the hoof is common to all livestock. But in the sense more internal than that 'a hoof means truth in the last degree - that is, truth on the level of the senses, which is the lowest - and in the contrary sense falsity. The reason why 'a hoof' has this meaning is that 'foot' means the natural, and 'sole of the foot' the last and lowest level of the natural, 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4938-4952, 5327, 5728, much the same being meant by 'hoof' since it is the sole of the foot in the case of livestock. And because the last and lowest level of the natural is meant by 'hoof' as it is by 'sole', truth forming that level of the natural is also meant; for when the natural is spoken of, truth and good are meant, or in the contrary sense falsity and evil. The natural is formed from these, and without them is devoid of any attributes.

[2] The fact that 'hoof', in particular that of a horse, means truth in the last and lowest degree, that is, truth on the level of the senses, and in the contrary sense falsity belonging to the same degree, becomes clear from the following places: In Isaiah,

Whose arrows are sharp, and all bows bent. His horses' hoofs are considered as flint, his wheels as the whirlwind. Isaiah 5:18.

This refers to a people laying waste. 'Arrows' means ideas fired from false doctrine, which they use to fight with, and 'bow' the doctrine itself, 2686, 2709. 'Horses' means powers of understanding, in this instance perverted ones, 2761, 2762, 3117, 5321, 6125, 6534. Which shows what 'the hoofs' of the horses means, namely falsity in the last and lowest degree.

[3] In Jeremiah,

. . . because of the sound of the beat of the hoofs of his mighty ones, on account of the noise of his chariot, the rumble of his wheels. Jeremiah 47:3

This refers to a people laying the Philistines waste. 'The beat of the hoofs of his mighty ones', that is, of horses, stands for open conflict of falsity against truth. 'Chariot' stands for teachings maintaining falsity, for 'a chariot' means teachings that maintain either truth or falsity, see 5321, 5945.

[4] In Ezekiel,

By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust will cover you; by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, your walls will be shaken; by means of the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets. Ezekiel 26:10-11.

This refers to Nebuchadnezzar laying Tyre waste. 'Horses' stands for perverted powers of understanding, as above, 'horsemen' for concepts that go with that kind of understanding, 6534. 'The wheels' that the chariots have stands for the falsities that are taught, 'chariot' being such teaching, as above, while 'streets' stands for truths, 2336. From this it is evident that 'the hoofs of horses' stands for falsities. If such were not meant, what would be the point of the statement 'by reason of the abundance of his horses their dust will cover you; by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, your walls will be shaken; by means of the hoofs of his horses he will trample all your streets'? Without an inner meaning would they be anything more than empty sounds? In actual fact every expression used in the Word, being Divine in origin, carries weight.

[5] In the same prophet,

They will devastate the pride of Egypt, in order that its multitude may be destroyed. And I will destroy all its beasts over many waters, in order that the foot of man (homo) may not disturb them any more, nor the hoof of beast disturb them. Then I will turn their waters into a depth, 1 and cause their rivers to flow like oil. Ezekiel 32:12-14.

Nor are these details intelligible unless one knows what is meant by 'Egypt', by 'the foot of man', by 'the hoof of beast', by 'waters' over which beasts will be destroyed, which the foot of man and hoof of beast will disturb, and which will be turned into a depth. Waters and rivers of Egypt are collections of true factual knowledge, while 'the hoof of beast' is falsity on the last and lowest level of the natural that disturbs true factual knowledge.

[6] In Micah,

Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze, in order that you may crush many peoples. Micah 4:13.

Nor can anyone know without the internal sense what these things are, that is, unless he knows what is meant by 'threshing', 'daughter of Zion', 'horn that will be made like iron', 'hoof that will be made like bronze', both of which will be used 'to crush many peoples'. 'Daughter of Zion' is the celestial Church, 1362; 'horn' is the power of truth that springs from good, 2832; 'iron' is natural truth that will have the ability to destroy falsities, 425, 426; 'hoof' is truth that springs from good in the last and lowest degree; and 'bronze' is natural good that will have power over evils, 425, 1551.

[7] In Zechariah,

I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he will not go 2 to [the sheep] that are to be cut off, he will not seek one tender in age, and he will not heal one that is maimed. 3 But he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear apart their hoofs. Zechariah 11:16.

This refers to a stupid shepherd. 'Eating the flesh of the fat' stands for turning good into evil, 'tearing apart the hoofs' for turning truth into falsity.

[8] How superior in intelligence the ancients were to people at the present day becomes clear from the consideration that in regard to very many objects in the world they knew which realities in heaven they corresponded to, and therefore what their spiritual meanings were. This knowledge existed not only with those who belonged to the Church but also with those outside the Church, such as the people in Greece, the most ancient of whom employed images with spiritual meanings to depict those realities. But at the present day, since such meanings are entirely unknown, those images are called myths. Knowledge of such correspondences among the sages of old is evident from the fact that they spoke of a winged horse, which they called Pegasus, to depict the rise of intelligence and wisdom. With its hoof it broke open a fountain, at which there were nine virgins, and which was situated on a hill. For they knew that 'the horse' was a sign of the power of understanding, 'its wings' a sign of spirituality, 'its hoofs' a sign of the last and lowest degree of truth, which gave rise to intelligence, 'virgins' a sign of varieties of knowledge, 'hill' a sign of unanimity, and in the spiritual sense of charity, and so on with the rest. But such matters at the present day are some of those that are lost.

Exodus第10章

学习

   

1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,

2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son's son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh."

3 Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, "This is what Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, says: 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that they may serve me.

4 Or else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country,

5 and they shall cover the surface of the earth, so that one won't be able to see the earth. They shall eat the residue of that which has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field.

6 Your houses shall be filled, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither your fathers nor your fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.'" He turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

7 Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Yahweh, their God. Don't you yet know that Egypt is destroyed?"

8 Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve Yahweh your God; but who are those who will Go?"

9 Moses said, "We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to Yahweh."

10 He said to them, "Yahweh be with you if I will let you go with your little ones! See, evil is clearly before your faces.

11 Not so! Go now you who are men, and serve Yahweh; for that is what you desire!" They were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left."

13 Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Yahweh brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

14 The locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt. They were very grievous. Before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

15 For they covered the surface of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened, and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. There remained nothing green, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and he said, "I have sinned against Yahweh your God, and against you.

17 Now therefore please forgive my sin again, and pray to Yahweh your God, that he may also take away from me this death."

18 He went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to Yahweh.

19 Yahweh turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

20 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he didn't let the children of Israel go.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt."

22 Moses stretched forth his hand toward the sky, and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

23 They didn't see one another, neither did anyone rise from his place for three days; but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

24 Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, "Go, serve Yahweh. Only let your flocks and your herds stay behind. Let your little ones also Go with you."

25 Moses said, "You must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our God.

26 Our livestock also shall go with us. Not a hoof shall be left behind, for of it we must take to serve Yahweh our God; and we don't know with what we must serve Yahweh, until we come there."

27 But Yahweh hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he wouldn't let them go.

28 Pharaoh said to him, "Get away from me! Be careful to see my face no more; for in the day you see my face you shall die!"

29 Moses said, "You have spoken well. I will see your face again no more."
