简体中文
英語原文
Isa 29:1-24.
COMING INVASION OF JERUSALEM: ITS FAILURE: UNBELIEF OF THE JEWS.
This chapter opens the series of prophecies as to the invasion of Judea under Sennacherib, and its deliverance.
1. Ariel--Jerusalem; Ariel means "Lion of God," that is, city rendered by God invincible: the lion is emblem of a mighty hero
(2Sa 23:20).
Otherwise "Hearth of God," that is, place where the altar-fire continually burns to God
(Isa 31:9; Eze 43:15, 16).
add . . . year to year--ironically; suffer one year after another to glide on in the round of formal, heartless "sacrifices." Rather, "add yet another year" to the one just closed [MAURER]. Let a year elapse and a little more
(Isa 32:10,
Margin).
let . . . kill sacrifices--rather, "let the beasts (of another year) go round" [MAURER]; that is, after the completion of a year "I will distress Ariel."

2. 却——更准确地说,应作"那时"。
艰难……困苦——更准确地说,为保留希伯来文的谐音双关,应作"哀鸣"与"呻吟"。
像亚利伊勒——或作"这城必如神的狮",即必从危难中未被征服而出;或作"必如燔祭坛",以火烧灭围攻者
(赛 29:6; 赛 30:30;31:9; 利 10:2);
或最好如
赛 29:3
继续威胁,而拯救的应许直到
赛 29:4
才来到,译作"必如燃烧的炉",即一片被火蹂躏的景象[G. V. SMITH]。这预言大概最终不仅 contemplate 西拿基立时代的苦难与拯救,还 contemplat 罗马对耶路撒冷的毁灭、犹太人的分散、他们的复兴、围城之仇敌的毁灭
(亚 14:2),
以及以色列最终的荣耀
(赛 29:17-24)。
英語原文
2. Yet--rather, "Then."
heaviness . . . sorrow--rather, preserving the Hebrew paronomasia, "groaning" and "moaning."
as Ariel--either, "the city shall be as a lion of God," that is, it shall emerge from its dangers unvanquished; or "it shall be as the altar of burnt offering," consuming with fire the besiegers
(Isa 29:6; Isa 30:30; 31:9; Le 10:2);
or best, as
Isa 29:3
continues the threat, and the promise of deliverance does not come till
Isa 29:4,
"it shall be like a hearth of burning," that is, a scene of devastation by fire [G. V. SMITH]. The prophecy, probably, contemplates ultimately, besides the affliction and deliverance in Sennacherib's time, the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome, the dispersion of the Jews, their restoration, the destruction of the enemies that besiege the city
(Zec 14:2),
and the final glory of Israel
(Isa 29:17-24).

3. 我——即耶和华,借亚述等他的器皿行事
(赛 10:5)。
垒——为高过城墙而堆筑的人工土垒
(赛 37:33);
或指阵地,即围城战士的驻屯之处。
四周——在西拿基立时并未完全应验,而是在罗马围城时才应验
(路 19:43;
21:20)。
台——即攻城塔
(申 20:20)。
英語原文
3. I--Jehovah, acting through the Assyrian, &c., His instruments
(Isa 10:5).
mount--an artificial mound formed to out-top high walls
(Isa 37:33);
else a station, namely, of warriors, for the siege.
round about--not fully realized under Sennacherib, but in the Roman siege
(Lu 19:43; 21:20).
forts--siege-towers
(De 20:20).

4. 耶路撒冷必如被掳之人,卑微至尘土。她的声音必从地里发出,如同交鬼的或行巫术之人的声音
(赛 8:19),
微弱而尖锐,正如人们所想象死人之声。腹语术无疑是使声音仿佛来自地下的诡计
(赛 19:3)。
耶路撒冷曾求问交鬼的,如今被弄得与他们相似,这是恰当的报应!
英語原文
4. Jerusalem shall be as a captive, humbled to the dust. Her voice shall come from the earth as that of the spirit-charmers or necromancers
(Isa 8:19),
faint and shrill, as the voice of the dead was supposed to be. Ventriloquism was doubtless the trick caused to make the voice appear to come from the earth
(Isa 19:3).
An appropriate retribution that Jerusalem, which consulted necromancers, should be made like them!

5. 并且——更确切为"然而";然而在这绝境之中,必有帮助来到,仇敌必被驱散。
外人——即外来的仇敌、入侵者
(赛 25:2)。
这事必——即仇敌的毁灭。
忽然——即顷刻之间
(赛 30:23)。
英語原文
5. Moreover--rather, "Yet"; yet in this extremity help shall come, and the enemy be scattered.
strangers--foreign enemies, invaders
(Isa 25:2).
it shall be--namely, the destruction of the enemy.
at an instant--in a moment
(Isa 30:23).

6. 你——指亚述军队。
雷轰云云——在亚述人一事上并非字面应验
(赛 37:36);
而是比喻可怕的审判
(赛 30:30; 28:17)。
在末日犹太人仇敌一事上,更进一步的应验可能更为字面(参论"地震",
亚 14:4)。
英語原文
6. Thou--the Assyrian army.
thunder, &c.--not literally, in the case of the Assyrians
(Isa 37:36);
but figuratively for an awful judgment
(Isa 30:30; 28:17).
The ulterior fulfilment, in the case of the Jews' foes in the last days, may be more literal (see as to "earthquake,"
Zec 14:4).

(诗 73:20);
他们的美梦必在那致命的清晨消散
(赛 37:36)。
灵魂——不过是他的食欲:他仍口渴。
英語原文
8. Their disappointment in the very height of their confident expectation of taking Jerusalem shall be as great as that of the hungry man who in a dream fancies he eats, but awakes to hunger still
(Ps 73:20);
their dream shall be dissipated on the fatal morning
(Isa 37:36).

9. 要停留——应译为「要诧异」;表达犹太人听以赛亚宣告时所显露的愚钝惊讶与不信。
惊奇——第二个祈使语气,常常(如
赛 8:9)
是一种威胁;第一个只是对事实的简单宣告,「你们既选择如此,就诧异吧,对预言很快你们将因看见实际事件而惊奇」[MAURER]。
昏迷……昏迷——应译为「你们瞎眼吧(你们既选择如此,虽然光围绕你们),很快你们就必真地瞎眼而悲哀」[MAURER],
(赛 6:9, 10)。
不是因酒——而是因属灵的瘫痪
(赛 51:17, 21)。
你们……他们——从对他们说话转为论到他们,表明先知因他们的愚钝不信而远离他们。
英語原文
9. Stay--rather, "Be astounded"; expressing the stupid and amazed incredulity with which the Jews received Isaiah's announcement.
wonder--The second imperative, as often
(Isa 8:9),
is a threat; the first is a simple declaration of a fact, "Be astounded, since you choose to be so, at the prophecy, soon you will be amazed at the sight of the actual event" [MAURER].
cry . . . out . . . cry--rather, "Be ye blinded (since you choose to be so, though the light shines all round you), and soon ye shall be blinded" in good earnest to your sorrow [MAURER],
(Isa 6:9, 10).
not with wine--but with spiritual paralysis
(Isa 51:17, 21).
ye . . . they--The change from speaking to, to speaking of them, intimates that the prophet turns away from them to a greater distance, because of their stupid unbelief.

10. 耶和华在审判上把他们交于自己的心硬(比较
亚 14:13)。
保罗引用,并据七十士译本略有变动, 罗 11:8。 见
赛 6:10; 诗 69:23。
眼;先知等等——应译为「已闭上你们的眼,即先知;你们的首领(栏注;见
赛 3:2),
即先见,他已掩盖。」东方人以蒙头入睡;故「掩盖」与「闭上你们的眼」平行
(士 4:19)。
蒙脸也是处决前的预备
(斯 7:8)。
这不能适用于以赛亚自己说预言的时候,而是指以后的时代。
英語原文
10. Jehovah gives them up judicially to their own hardness of heart (compare
Zec 14:13).
Quoted by Paul, with variations from the Septuagint,
Ro 11:8.
See
Isa 6:10; Ps 69:23.
eyes; the prophets, &c.--rather, "hath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads (Margin; see also
Isa 3:2),
the seers, He hath covered." The Orientals cover the head to sleep; thus "covered" is parallel to "closed your eyes"
(Jud 4:19).
Covering the face was also preparatory to execution
(Es 7:8).
This cannot apply to the time when Isaiah himself prophesied, but to subsequent times.

11. 所有的——应译为「全部的异象。」「异象」与此处的「启示」或「律法」相同;在
赛 28:15
中同一希伯来文词译为「约」[MAURER]。
封住——
(赛 8:16),
神封住真理,使甚至学者也因缺乏信靠的受教之心而不能分辨
(太 13:10-17; 11:25)。
预言相对而言是一个封住的卷
(但 12:4, 9),
直到耶稣——他「唯独配」——「揭开七印」
(启 5:1-5, 9; 6:1)。
英語原文
11. of all--rather, "the whole vision." "Vision" is the same here as "revelation," or "law"; in
Isa 28:15,
the same Hebrew word is translated, "covenant" [MAURER].
sealed--
(Isa 8:16),
God seals up the truth so that even the learned, because they lack believing docility, cannot discern it
(Mt 13:10-17; 11:25).
Prophecy remained comparatively a sealed volume
(Da 12:4, 9),
until Jesus, who "alone is worthy," "opened the seals"
(Re 5:1-5, 9; 6:1).

英語原文
12. The unlearned succeed no better than the learned, not from want of human learning, as they fancy, but from not having the teaching of God

(哈 1:5; 徒 13:41)。
「奇妙的工」是无与伦比的刑罚,落在假冒为善者身上:比较「奇异的工」

这审判也要临到那些智慧人,正是在他们最引以为傲之处;他们的智慧必被隐藏,即不再显明,不能在国难中救助国家(比较
林前 1:19)。
英語原文
14.
(Hab 1:5; Ac 13:41).
The "marvellous work" is one of unparalleled vengeance on the hypocrites: compare "strange work,"
Isa 28:21.
The judgment, too, will visit the wise in that respect in which they most pride themselves; their wisdom shall be hid, that is, shall no longer appear, so as to help the nation in its distress (compare

15. 深藏——应译为「那深藏之人」云云(比较
赛 30:1, 2)。
所指是许多犹太贵族中寻求埃及援助以对抗亚述的秘密计划,违背了以赛亚的忠告。同时也描述了一般的假冒为善者,他在看似合理的外表下,试图隐藏其真实品格,不仅对人,甚至对神。
英語原文
15. seek deep to hide--rather, "That seek to hide deeply," &c. (compare
Isa 30:1, 2).
The reference is to the secret plan which many of the Jewish nobles had of seeking Egyptian aid against Assyria, contrary to the advice of Isaiah. At the same time the hypocrite in general is described, who, under a plausible exterior, tries to hide his real character, not only from men, but even from God.

17. 变为——与你们*"把事颠倒了"

相对,将来要有别的、更好的转变或变革;末后日子圣灵的浇灌
(Isa 32:15);
先是临到犹太人;随后必有他们的全国复兴(见
Isa 29:2;
Zec 12:10
的注释),然后临到外邦人
(Joe 2:28)。
佳美之地——字面作"一座迦密山"(见
Isa 10:18
的注释)。
犹太民族的道德改变,将如黎巴嫩树林变为佳美田地、佳美田地变为树林一般巨大。参见
Mt 11:12
希腊文:"天国强行推进",仿佛强加于人接受;人不必像在旷野中寻找施洗约翰那样去寻找弥赛亚,祂反以慈爱的邀请亲自来到人前;如此人心——原是道德荒漠——便得开垦而结出义之果子;反过来说,那些看似亨通的不敬虔之人,无论道德上还是字面意义上,都将在其真实的贫瘠中被显明。
英語原文
17. turned--as contrasted with your "turnings of things upside down"
(Isa 29:16),
there shall be other and better turnings or revolutions; the outpouring of the Spirit in the latter days
(Isa 32:15);
first on the Jews; which shall be followed by their national restoration (see on
Isa 29:2;
Zec 12:10)
then on the Gentiles
(Joe 2:28).
fruitful field--literally, "a Carmel" (see on
Isa 10:18).
The moral change in the Jewish nation shall be as great as if the wooded Lebanon were to become a fruitful field, and vice versa. Compare
Mt 11:12,
Greek: "the kingdom of heaven forces itself," as it were, on man's acceptance; instead of men having to seek Messiah, as they had John, in a desert, He presents Himself before them with loving invitations; thus men's hearts, once a moral desert, are reclaimed so as to bear fruits of righteousness: vice versa, the ungodly who seemed prosperous, both in the moral and literal sense, shall be exhibited in their real barrenness.

Ac 3:13, 14; 8:33。

21. Rather, "Who make a man guilty in his cause" [GESENIUS], that is, unjustly condemn him. "A man" is in the Hebrew a poor man, upon whom such unjust condemnations might be practiced with more impunity than on the rich; compare
Isa 29:19,
"the meek . . . the poor."
him that reproveth--rather, "pleadeth"; one who has a suit at issue.
gate--the place of concourse in a city, where courts of justice were held
