Isaiah Chapter 62

Isa 62:1-12.
简体中文
English original
Isa 62:1-12.
INTERCESSORY PRAYERS FOR ZION'S RESTORATION, ACCOMPANYING GOD'S PROMISES OF IT, AS THE APPOINTED MEANS OF ACCOMPLISHING IT.
1. I--the prophet, as representative of all the praying people of God who love and intercede for Zion (compare
Isa 62:6, 7; Ps 102:13-17),
or else Messiah (compare
Isa 62:6).
So Messiah is represented as unfainting in His efforts for His people
(Isa 42:4; 50:7).
righteousness thereof--not its own inherently, but imputed to it, for its restoration to God's favor: hence "salvation" answers to it in the parallelism. "Judah" is to be "saved" through "the Lord our (Judah's and the Church's) righteousness"
(Jer 23:6).
as brightness--properly the bright shining of the rising sun
(Isa 60:19; 4:5; 2Sa 23:4; Pr 4:18).
lamp--blazing torch.

2.
（赛 11:10； 42:1-6；
49:7, 22, 23；
60:3, 5, 16）。
新名——表达你焕然一新的改善境况
（赛 62:4），
这新名因是耶和华亲自所赐，便更加宝贵而持久
（赛 62:12； 赛 65:15； 启 2:17；
3:12）。

2.
(Isa 11:10; 42:1-6; 49:7, 22, 23; 60:3, 5, 16).
new name--expression of thy new and improved condition
(Isa 62:4),
the more valuable and lasting as being conferred by Jehovah Himself
(Isa 62:12; Isa 65:15; Re 2:17; 3:12).

3.
（亚 9:16）。
在……耶和华的手中——冠冕戴在头上，而非"在手中"，故手在此必为比喻，指"在耶和华的保护之下"（参
申 33:3）。
"众圣徒都在你手中。"他的子民在他手中，同时又作他的"荣耀冠冕"
（启 6:2； 19:12）；
反过来说，他也作他们的"荣耀冠冕与华美的冕旒"
（赛 28:5；
参
玛 3:17）。
English original
3.
(Zec 9:16)
in . . . hand of . . . Lord--As a crown is worn on the head, not "in the hand," hand must here be figurative for "under the Lord's protection" (compare
De 33:3).
"All His saints are in thy hand." His people are in His hand at the same time that they are "a crown of glory" to Him
(Re 6:2; 19:12);
reciprocally, He is "a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty" to them
(Isa 28:5;
compare
Mal 3:17).

4. 被称为——即"被撇弃"，以致此词可用在你身上。
黑弗洗巴——
（王下 21:1），
希西家之妻的名字，是耶路撒冷的预表，正如希西家是弥赛亚的预表
（赛 32:1）：
意为"我所喜悦的"。
比拉——意为"你已许配"。见同一比喻下锡安过去与将来状态的对比
（赛 54:4-6； 启 21:2, 4）。
地……已婚——与耶和华结合，以他为主与丈夫：不仅暗示所有权，更暗示所有者的保护[HORSLEY]。
English original
4. be termed--be "forsaken," so as that that term could be applicable to thee.
Hephzi-bah--
(2Ki 21:1),
the name of Hezekiah's wife, a type of Jerusalem, as Hezekiah was of Messiah
(Isa 32:1):
"my delight is in her."
Beulah--"Thou art married." See the same contrast of Zion's past and future state under the same figure
(Isa 54:4-6; Re 21:2, 4).
land . . . married--to Jehovah as its Lord and Husband: implying not only ownership, but protection on the part of the Owner [HORSLEY].

5. 你的众子——更确切地，更改在希伯来文中并无权威的元音点，作"你的建造者"或"恢复者"，即神；因在平行句以及
赛 62:4
中，神被暗示为与她"结婚"的那位；而她的"众子"很难说是与她——他们的母亲——结婚；且在
赛 49:18
中，他们被称为她的新娘装饰，而非她的丈夫。复数形式众建造者是以敬畏之心用于神，如"众丈夫"一样（见
赛 54:5
注释）。
新妇——即在获得新妇的喜乐中
（赛 65:19； 耶 32:41； 番 3:17）。
English original
5. thy sons--rather, changing the points, which are of no authority in Hebrew, "thy builder" or "restorer," that is, God; for in the parallel clause, and in
Isa 62:4,
God is implied as being "married" to her; whereas her "sons" could hardly be said to marry their mother; and in
Isa 49:18,
they are said to be her bridal ornaments, not her husband. The plural form, builders, is used of God in reverence as "husbands" (see on
Isa 54:5).
over the bride--in the possession of the bride
(Isa 65:19; Jer 32:41; Zep 3:17).

6. 我——以赛亚以弥赛亚的身份说话。
城墙上……守望的——比喻取自城墙上所设的守望，为要观看带好消息的使者到来
（赛 52:7, 8）；
犹太被掳者从巴比伦归回的好消息，预表现今散居之民的归回（参
赛 21:6-11； 56:10； 结 3:17； 33:7）。
东方的守望以大声呼喊来宣告，以标示守望者的警醒。
提说……耶和华的——希伯来文为"耶和华的提醒者"；即借祷告"提醒"神记念其应许的仆人
（赛 43:26）；
我们被要求提醒神，仿佛神能——其实他不能——忘记他的应许
（诗 119:49； 耶 14:21）。
English original
6. I--Isaiah speaking in the person of the Messiah.
watchmen upon . . . walls--image from the watches set upon a city's wall to look out for the approach of a messenger with good tidings
(Isa 52:7, 8);
the good tidings of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon, prefiguring the return from the present dispersion (compare
Isa 21:6-11; 56:10; Eze 3:17; 33:7).
The watches in the East are announced by a loud cry to mark the vigilance of the watchmen.
ye that . . . mention . . . Lord--Hebrew, "ye that are the Lord's remembrancers"; God's servants who by their prayers "put God in remembrance" of His promises
(Isa 43:26);
we are required to remind God, as if God could, which He cannot, forget His promises
(Ps 119:49; Jer 14:21).

7. 不要歇息——希伯来文为"静默"；不仅你们自己不可静默，也不要让他静默。试比较论弥赛亚本人："我必不静默……必不息声"
（赛 62:1）；
弥赛亚的守望者
（赛 62:6, 7）
效法他
（赛 62:1），
为耶路撒冷"不住地祷告"代求
（诗 122:6；51:18）；
也为属灵的耶路撒冷——教会——如此代求
（路 18:1, 7； 罗 1:9）。
赞美——（参
赛 61:11； 番 3:20）。
English original
7. no rest--Hebrew, "silence"; keep not silence yourselves, nor let Him rest in silence. Compare as to Messiah Himself, "I will not hold . . . peace . . . not rest"
(Isa 62:1);
Messiah's watchmen
(Isa 62:6, 7)
imitate Him
(Isa 62:1)
in intercessory "prayer without ceasing" for Jerusalem
(Ps 122:6; 51:18);
also for the spiritual Jerusalem, the Church
(Lu 18:1, 7; Ro 1:9).
a praise--(See on
Isa 61:11;
Zep 3:20).

8. 指着自己的右手起誓——他成就其旨意的大能器皿（比较
赛 45:23； 来 6:13）。
外邦人……之子——外人不得再抢夺你劳碌的果实（比较
赛 65:21, 22）。
English original
8. sworn by . . . right hand--His mighty instrument of accomplishing His will (compare
Isa 45:23; Heb 6:13).
sons of . . . stranger--Foreigners shall no more rob thee of the fruit of thy labors (compare
Isa 65:21, 22).

9. 吃……赞美——不耗费在私欲上，也不毫无感恩地耗费。
在……院宇里喝——收取葡萄的人要在环绕圣殿的院宇中举行的宴席上喝
（申 12:17, 18; 14:23等等）。
English original
9. eat . . . and praise--not consume it on their own lusts, and without thanksgiving.
drink it in . . . courts--They who have gathered the vintage shall drink it at the feasts held in the courts surrounding the temple
(De 12:17, 18; 14:23,
&c.).

10. 以赛亚在弥赛亚位格中所不息地寻求的
（赛 62:1）， 守望者所当不息地祈求的
（赛 62:7）， 耶和华所庄重应许的
（赛 62:8, 9）， 如今都要应验；外邦列国受命「经过城门」（或他们自己的城[ROSENMÜLLER]或耶路撒冷的城门[MAURER]），为要从「百姓（以色列）的路」上除去一切障碍（见
赛 7:14；
赛 40:3; 52:10-12
注解）。
大旗——为分散的犹太人聚集，以备归回
（赛 49:22; 11:12）。
English original
10. What Isaiah in the person of Messiah had engaged in
(Isa 62:1)
unrestingly to seek, and what the watchmen were unrestingly to pray for
(Isa 62:7),
and what Jehovah solemnly promised
(Isa 62:8, 9),
is now to be fulfilled; the Gentile nations are commanded to "go through the gates" (either of their own cities [ROSENMULLER] or of Jerusalem [MAURER]), in order to remove all obstacles out of "the way of the people (Israel)" (see on
Isa 7:14;
Isa 40:3; 52:10-12).
standard--for the dispersed Jews to rally round, with a view to their return
(Isa 49:22; 11:12).

11. 拯救——体现于拯救者中（见
亚 9:9）。
他的作为——应译为报偿
（赛 40:10）。
English original
11. salvation--embodied in the Saviour (see
Zec 9:9).
his work--rather, recompense
(Isa 40:10).

12. 寻求——被耶和华寻求并珍视；与平行句中的「不撇弃」相应；不再被丢弃，而是被爱；取自妻子的意象
（赛 62:4； 耶 30:14）。
English original
12. Sought out--Sought after and highly prized by Jehovah; answering to "not forsaken" in the parallel clause; no longer abandoned, but loved; image from a wife
(Isa 62:4; Jer 30:14).
赛 62:1-12。
为锡安复兴而献上的代求，伴随着神对此的应许，作为成就此事所指定的途径。
1. 我——先知，作为一切爱锡安并为锡安代求之神百姓的代表（比较
赛 62:6, 7； 诗 102:13-17），
或作弥赛亚（比较
赛 62:6）。
照样，弥赛亚被描述为在为祂百姓努力时永不疲倦
（赛 42:4；50:7）。
公义——不是其本身内在有的，而是归给它的，因它恢复到神的恩宠中：故平行句中的"拯救"与之对应。"犹大"将"藉着我们的（犹大与教会的）公义——耶和华"而"得救"
（耶 23:6）。
如光辉——确切指日出时的明亮
（赛 60:19；4:5； 撒下 23:4； 箴 4:18）。
灯——燃烧的火把。
