Ezequiel第34章

学习

   

1 Y vino Palabra del SEÑOR a mí, diciendo:

2 Hijo de hombre, profetiza contra los pastores de Israel; profetiza, y diles a los pastores: Así dijo el Señor DIOS: ¡Ay de los pastores de Israel, que se apacientan a sí mismos! ¿Los pastores no apacientan las ovejas?

3 Coméis la leche, y os vestís de la lana; la gruesa degolláis, no apacentáis las ovejas.

4 No fortalecisteis las flacas, ni curasteis la enferma; no ligasteis la perniquebrada, ni tornasteis la amontada, ni buscasteis la perdida; sino que os habéis enseñoreado de ellas con dureza y con violencia;

5 y están derramadas por falta de pastor; y fueron para ser comidas de toda bestia del campo, y fueron esparcidas.

6 Y anduvieron perdidas mis ovejas por todos los montes, y en todo collado alto; y en toda la faz de la tierra fueron derramadas mis ovejas, y no hubo quien buscase, ni quien requiriese.

7 Por tanto, pastores, oíd Palabra del SEÑOR:

8 Vivo yo, dijo el Señor DIOS, que por cuanto mi rebaño fue para ser robado, y mis ovejas fueron para ser comidas de toda bestia del campo, sin pastor; ni mis pastores buscaron mis ovejas, sino que los pastores se apacentaron a sí mismos, y no apacentaron mis ovejas;

9 por tanto, oh pastores, oíd palabra del SEÑOR:

10 Así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí, yo a los pastores; y requeriré mis ovejas de su mano, y yo les haré dejar de apacentar las ovejas; ni los pastores se apacentarán más a sí mismos; pues yo libraré mis ovejas de sus bocas, y no les serán más por comida.

11 Porque así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo, yo requeriré mis ovejas, y las reconoceré.

12 Como reconoce su rebaño el pastor el día que está en medio de sus ovejas esparcidas, así reconoceré mis ovejas, y las libraré de todos los lugares en que fueron esparcidas el día del nublado y de la oscuridad.

13 Y yo las sacaré de los pueblos, y las juntaré de las tierras; y las meteré en su tierra, y las apacentaré en los montes de Israel por las riberas, y en todas las habitaciones del país.

14 En buenos pastos las apacentaré, y en los altos montes de Israel será su majada; allí dormirán en buena majada, y en pastos gruesos serán apacentadas sobre los montes de Israel.

15 Yo apacentaré mis ovejas, y yo les haré tener majada, dijo el Señor DIOS.

16 Yo buscaré la perdida, y tornaré la amontada, y ligaré la perniquebrada, y fortaleceré la enferma; mas a la gruesa y a la fuerte destruiré. Yo las apacentaré en juicio.

17 Mas vosotras, ovejas mías, así dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí yo juzgo entre oveja y oveja, entre carneros y machos cabríos.

18 ¿Os es poco que comáis los buenos pastos, sino que también holláis con vuestros pies lo que de vuestros pastos queda; y que bebiendo las profundas aguas, también holláis con vuestros pies las que quedan?

19 Y mis ovejas comen lo hollado de vuestros pies, y beben lo que con vuestros pies habéis hollado.

20 Por tanto, así les dijo el Señor DIOS: He aquí, yo, yo juzgaré entre la oveja gruesa y la oveja flaca,

21 por cuanto empujasteis con el lado y con el hombro, y acorneasteis con vuestros cuernos a todas las flacas, hasta que las esparcisteis fuera.

22 Yo salvaré a mis ovejas, y nunca más serán en rapiña; y juzgaré entre oveja y oveja.

23 Y despertaré sobre ellas un pastor, y él las apacentará; a mi siervo David: él las apacentará, y él les será por pastor.

24 Yo, el SEÑOR, les seré por Dios, y mi siervo David, príncipe en medio de ellos. Yo, el SEÑOR, he hablado.

25 Y estableceré con ellos pacto de paz, y haré cesar de la tierra las malas bestias; y habitarán en el desierto seguramente, y dormirán en los bosques.

26 Y daré a ellas, y a los alrededores de mi collado, bendición; y haré descender la lluvia en su tiempo, lluvias de bendición serán.

27 Y el árbol del campo dará su fruto, y la tierra dará su fruto, y estarán sobre su tierra seguramente; y sabrán que yo soy el SEÑOR, cuando yo quebrare las coyundas de su yugo, y las librare de mano de los que se sirven de ellas.

28 Y no serán más presa de los gentiles, y las bestias de la tierra nunca más las devorarán; sino que habitarán seguramente, y no habrá quien espante;

29 Y les despertaré una Planta por nombre, y no más serán consumidas de hambre en la tierra, ni serán más avergonzadas de los gentiles.

30 Y sabrán que yo el SEÑOR su Dios soy con ellas, y ellas son mi pueblo, la Casa de Israel, dijo el SEÑOR Dios.

31 Y vosotras, ovejas mías, ovejas de mi pasto, hombres sois, y yo vuestro Dios, dijo el Señor Dios.

9081. 'If the ox strikes a male slave with its horn, or a female slave' means if the affection for evil destroys truth or good in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'a male slave' as truth in the natural, dealt with in 3019, 3020, 5305, 7998; from the meaning of 'a female slave' as an affection for truth there, dealt with in 1895, 2567, 3835, 3849, 8993, 8994; and from the meaning of 'striking with the horn' as destroying. The words 'striking with the horn' in the Word refer to the destruction of falsity by the power of truth, and in the contrary sense to the destruction of truth by the power of falsity. They do so because 'a horn' means the power of truth that springs from good, or the power of falsity that springs from evil, 2832, as in Ezekiel,

You push with side and shoulder, and strike with your horns all the weak [sheep]. Ezekiel 34:21.

This refers to those who with all their force and power destroy the Church's truths and forms of good by means of fallacious reasonings based on sensory evidence, 'pushing with side and shoulder' meaning with all their force and power, 1085, 4931-4937. From this it is evident why the words 'striking with the horn' are used in Moses,

The firstborn of his cattle has honour, and his horns are unicorn horns. 1 With these he will strike the peoples together to the ends of the earth. Deuteronomy 33:17.

This occurs in Moses' prophetic utterance concerning Joseph, in which 'Joseph' in the internal sense means the Lord's Divine Spiritual, and in the representative sense His spiritual kingdom 'Unicorn horns' means forms of power received from the good and truth of faith; 'striking the peoples' means destroying falsities by means of truths; and 'to the ends of the earth' means on every side where the Church is. In David,

You Yourself are my King. O God; through You we will strike our enemies with the horn. Psalms 44:4-5.

'Striking enemies with the horn' again means destroying falsities by means of the power of the truth and good of faith. Who can fail to see that in these places the words 'striking with the horn' would not have been used, since the action is performed by human beings, but for the meaning of 'horn' as power?

脚注:

1. i.e. horns that are high and powerful, like the horn of a unicorn

Arcana Coelestia#8993

8993. 'And when a man sells his daughter to be a female slave' means an affection for truth springing from natural delight. This is clear from the meaning of 'a man's daughter' as an affection for truth, for an affection is meant by 'daughter', dealt with in 2362, 3963, while truth is meant by 'a man', 3134, as it also is by an Israelite, whom 'a man' refers to here, 5414, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234; and from the meaning of 'a female slave' as an external or natural affection, dealt with in 2567, 3835, 3849. Consequently 'a man's daughter sold as a female slave' means an affection for truth springing from natural affection and delight.

[2] By natural delight one should understand delight emanating from self-love and love of the world. The people with an affection for truth emanating from these kinds of love are those who learn the teachings of the Church, called the truths of faith, either for the sake of gain or for the sake of important positions, and not for the sake of the life they should lead. Since affections such as this do not emanate from spiritual good but from natural delight they are represented by the daughter of an Israelite man sold as a female slave or servant-girl. For whatever owes its origin to self-love or love of the world is not freedom but slavery. What freedom and slavery are, see 892, 905, 1947, 2870-2893, 6205. The nature of affection for truth arising from those kinds of love is described in the internal sense of what follows next.

[3] It should be borne in mind that a genuine affection for truth consists in willing and desiring to know the real truths of faith with a view to putting them to good use and for the sake of the life one should lead. But an affection for truth which is not genuine consists in willing and desiring truths for selfish reasons, that is, in order to acquire important positions and make monetary gain. Those with an affection for truth that has this origin do not care whether the truths they learn are genuine or not, provided that they are such as can be palmed off as truths. This being so, they confine themselves to endorsing the teachings of the Church in which they were born, regardless of whether those teachings are true or not. They are also in the dark so far as real truths are concerned; for worldly ends or gains, and selfish 1 ends or important positions make people completely blind.

[4] But those with a genuine affection for truth, that is, those who desire to know truths to put them to good use and for the sake of the life they ought to lead, they too keep to the teachings of the Church, until they reach the age when they begin to think for themselves. Then they examine the Scriptures and pray to the Lord for enlightenment; and when they receive it, their hearts rejoice. For they know that if they had been born where the teachings of the Church are different, indeed where the greatest heresy exists, then - if they had not examined Scripture from a genuine affection for truth - they would have remained in it, as for example they would have done if they had been born Jews, or they had been born Socinians. All this shows who exactly those people are, and what they are like, who have a genuine affection for truth, and who they are, and what they are like, who have an affection for truth that is not genuine. Those with a genuine affection for truth are meant in the representative sense by the daughters of Israelite men; but those with an affection for truth that is not genuine are meant in the representative sense by female slaves from among the daughters of Israel, who are the subject at present.
