Judges Kapitel 15

Jud 15:1, 2.

简体中文

Jud 15:1、2.

参孙被拒见其妻。

1. 割麦子的时候——大约相当于我们四月底或五月初。那时割下的麦子已堆成捆,堆在田间或打谷场上。正值旱季,干旱程度远超我们的经验,谷物极易燃烧。

参孙带着一只山羊羔去看他的妻——在东方,访客通常要带些礼物;这一次,或许不仅作为礼节,也是为求和好。

他说——即对自己说。这是他心中的隐意。

内室——女子的住所,即内眷之室。

Englisches Original

Jud 15:1, 2.

SAMSON IS DENIED HIS WIFE.

1. in the time of wheat harvest--that is, about the end of our April, or the beginning of our May. The shocks of grain were then gathered into heaps, and lying on the field or on the threshing-floors. It was the dry season, dry far beyond our experience, and the grain in a most combustible state.

Samson visited his wife with a kid--It is usual for a visitor in the East to carry some present; in this case, it might be not only as a token of civility, but of reconciliation.

he said--that is, to himself. It was his secret purpose.

into the chamber--the female apartments or harem.

2. 她父说,我真以为你极其恨她——这借口纯属虚词,是掩饰他拒绝开门的拙劣借口。他所提议娶她妹妹为妻,对参孙而言不过是侮辱,且是以色列人所不可接受的

(利18:18)。

Englisches Original

2. her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her--This allegation was a mere sham, a flimsy pretext to excuse his refusal of admittance. The proposal he made of a marriage with her younger sister was but an insult to Samson, and one which it was unlawful for an Israelite to accept

(Le 18:18).

Jud 15:3-8.

他焚烧非利士人的谷物。

3. 参孙说……这下我伤害非利士人总算有理了——这卑劣的行径激起了这位英雄公义的愤慨,他决心予以重重的报复。

Englisches Original

Jud 15:3-8.

HE BURNS THE PHILISTINES' CORN.

3. Samson said . . ., Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines--This nefarious conduct provoked the hero's just indignation, and he resolved to take signal vengeance.

4、5. 去捉了三百只狐狸——更准确说是「胡狼」;这是一种介于狼与狐之间的动物,不像我们这里的狐狸独居,而是成群结队出没,巴勒斯坦山地中极多。要收集如此大量的胡狼,需要相当的时间和帮手。

拿了火把——即火把或引火物,能缓慢燃烧、保留火种,被风吹时便猛烈燃烧。他把两只胡狼尾巴对尾巴系在一起,中间牢牢绑上一个火把。日落时分,他点燃火把,将一对一对的胡狼陆续从山上放下去,进入「舍非拉」——即非利士平原,地处但与犹大边境,是一片富饶广大的麦田。火所引起的疼痛使这些动物四处乱窜,引发一场大火。但无人能帮助邻舍:灾情太普遍,恐慌太大。

Englisches Original

4, 5. went and caught three hundred foxes--rather, "jackals"; an animal between a wolf and a fox, which, unlike our fox, a solitary creature, prowls in large packs or herds and abounds in the mountains of Palestine. The collection of so great a number would require both time and assistance.

took firebrands--torches or matches which would burn slowly, retaining the fire, and blaze fiercely when blown by the wind. He put two jackals together, tail by tail, and fastened tightly a fire match between them. At nightfall he lighted the firebrand and sent each pair successively down from the hills, into the "Shefala," or plain of Philistia, lying on the borders of Dan and Judah, a rich and extensive corn district. The pain caused by the fire would make the animals toss about to a wide extent, kindling one great conflagration. But no one could render assistance to his neighbor: the devastation was so general, the panic would be so great.

6. 谁做了这事——这场暴行的元凶,以及引发如此异常报复的原因,很快便为人所知。受害的人因庄稼被毁而怒火中烧,便带着喧嚣狂怒冲向参孙妻子的家,「用火把她和她父亲烧死」。这是奇妙的报应:她原是为躲避这威胁才出卖丈夫;而这一毫无原则的行径,最终反使她陷入了她不惜牺牲婚姻贞操所要逃避的那可怕结局

[士14:15]。

Englisches Original

6. Who hath done this--The author of this outrage, and the cause that provoked such an extraordinary retaliation, soon became known; and the sufferers, enraged by the destruction of their crops, rushing with tumultuous fury to the house of Samson's wife, "burnt her and her father with fire." This was a remarkable retribution. To avoid this menace, she had betrayed her husband; and by that unprincipled conduct, eventually exposed herself to the horrid doom which, at the sacrifice of conjugal fidelity, she had sought to escape

[Jud 14:15].

7. 参孙说……你们既然这样行,我也必向你们报仇——农夫们的这一举动,正好为他私人的冤屈报了仇。但他既是由神所立、要拯救以色列的士师,他报应的工作尚未完成。

Englisches Original

7. Samson said . . ., Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you--By that act the husbandmen had been the instruments in avenging his private and personal wrongs. But as a judge, divinely appointed to deliver Israel, his work of retribution was not yet accomplished.

8. 大大击杀他们——直译为「击杀他们的腿和腰」,是一句谚语,意指毫不留情的杀戮。

他下去住在以坦盘的顶上——更准确说是下去住在以坦崖的裂缝——即以坦崖的洞穴。

Englisches Original

8. smote them hip and thigh--a proverbial expression for a merciless slaughter.

he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam--rather went down and dwelt in the cleft--that is, the cave or cavern of the cliff Etam.

Jud 15:9-13.

他被犹大人捆绑,交在非利士人手中。

9-17. 非利士人上去——上到犹大高地。

在利希摆阵——即今日的以勒基,多石灰岩峭壁,峭壁两侧遍布洞穴。非利士人这次出兵,是要捉拿参孙,以报他大肆屠杀其民之仇。为使本国同胞免受狂怒非利士人之害,参孙任凭他们捆绑,作为带锁链的囚徒交在他们手中。犹大人因即将除掉如此可怕的敌人而欣喜若狂,便前去迎接他。他却运用超人的力量,找着一块新的(即未干的)驴腮骨,便拿在手中,再无别的兵器,在一处地方击杀了一千人;他把那地叫作拉末利希——即「腮骨之高地」。

Englisches Original

Jud 15:9-13.

HE IS BOUND BY THE MEN OF JUDAH, AND DELIVERED TO THE PHILISTINES.

9-17. Then the Philistines went up--to the high land of Judah.

and spread themselves in Lehi--now El-Lekieh, abounding with limestone cliffs; the sides of which are perforated with caves. The object of the Philistines in this expedition was to apprehend Samson, in revenge for the great slaughter he had committed on their people. With a view of freeing his own countrymen from all danger from the infuriated Philistines, he allowed himself to be bound and surrendered a fettered prisoner into their power. Exulting with joy at the near prospect of riddance from so formidable an enemy, they went to meet him. But he exerted his superhuman strength, and finding a new (or moist) jawbone of an ass, he laid hold of it, and with no other weapon, slew a thousand men at a place which he called Ramath-lehi--that is, "the hill of the jawbone."

16. 我用驴腮骨杀人成堆,用驴腮骨杀了一千人——所用兵器如此简陋,清楚表明这是一件神迹,「一种超然力量的作为」,正如说预言的恩赐是一种超然知识的作为一样〔查尔默斯〕。

Englisches Original

16. With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men--The inadequacy of the weapon plainly shows this to have been a miraculous feat, "a case of supernatural strength," just as the gift of prophecy is a case of supernatural knowledge [CHALMERS].

19. 腮骨内的一个洼处——「在利希」——把这词当作地名专有名词来看。

有水从其中流出来;他喝了,精神就复原了——他因激烈而持久的搏斗所耗尽的体力,因饮这泉源清凉之水而得以恢复;那泉被称为

隐哈歌力——即「呼求之井」,这名字记录了这位英勇之士的敬虔。

Englisches Original

19. a hollow place . . . in the jaw--"in Lehi"--taking the word as a proper noun, marking the place.

there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again--His strength, exhausted by the violent and long-continued exertion, was recruited by the refreshing draft from the spring; and it was called

En-hakkore--the "supplication well," a name which records the piety of this heroic champion.
