简体中文
英語原文
Isa 33:1-24.
THE LAST OF ISAIAH'S PROPHECIES AS TO SENNACHERIB'S OVERTHROW.
Isa 33:1, 8, 9,
describe the Assyrian spoiler; strong as he is, he shall fall before Jehovah who is stronger
(Isa 33:2-6, 10-12).
The time is the autumn of 713 B.C.
1. and thou--that is, though thou wast not spoiled--though thou wast not dealt treacherously with (see on
Isa 24:16),
thy spoiling and treachery are therefore without excuse, being unprovoked.
cease--When God has let thee do thy worst, in execution of His plans, thine own turn shall come (compare
Isa 10:12; 14:2; Hab 2:8; Re 13:10).

2. 我们……我们……他们……我们——祂为自己的百姓代求,在心思上片刻将自己与他们分别,随即又在"我们"一词中回到与他们的天然认同。
每早晨——每日黎明之时,尤其是在我们危险之际,正如平行的"患难之时"所表明。
英語原文
2. us; we . . . their . . . our--He speaks interceding for His people, separating himself in thought for a moment from them, and immediately returns to his natural identification with them in the word "our."
every morning--each day as it dawns, especially during our danger, as the parallel "time of trouble" shows.

3. 喧嚷——耶和华的临到被比作推进的雷雨
(赛 29:6;
30:27),
雷声即他的声音
(启 1:15),
使众民"奔逃"。
民——指亚述所征募的军队。
英語原文
3. the tumult--the approach of Jehovah is likened to an advancing thunderstorm
(Isa 29:6; 30:27),
which is His voice
(Re 1:15),
causing the people to "flee."
nation--the Assyrian levies.

4. 侵略者的"掳物"必在逃遁中被撇下,犹太人必将其收取。
蝻子——更确切为"无翅的蝗虫";"收取"之希伯来文动词原用于收取庄稼的果实
(赛 32:10)。
跑来跑去——即收取庄稼果实时。
他——更确切为"他们"。
他们——更确切为"它",即掠物。
英語原文
4. The invaders' "spoil" shall be left behind by them in their flight, and the Jews shall gather it.
caterpillar--rather, "the wingless locust"; as it gathers; the Hebrew word for "gathers" is properly used of the gathering of the fruits of harvest
(Isa 32:10).
running to and fro--namely, in gathering harvest fruits.
he--rather, "they."
them--rather, "it," that is, the prey.

6. 智慧——即神圣的智慧,也就是敬虔。
你的——指希西家的;更确切为"犹大的"。"他的"所指相同;在希伯来文诗歌中,从第二人称物主代词转为第三人称是常见的。
宝藏——不是物质财富,而是敬虔将成为这国的财富
(箴 10:22; 15:16)。
英語原文
6. wisdom--sacred; that is, piety.
thy--Hezekiah's; or rather, "Judea's." "His" refers to the same; such changes from the pronoun possessive of the second person to that of the third are common in Hebrew poetry.
treasure--Not so much material wealth as piety shall constitute the riches of the nation
(Pr 10:22; 15:16).

7-9. 以赛亚从未来荣耀的异象回到当下灾难的处境;"豪杰之人"(与"和平之使"平行且相同,指有地位的人)奉差带着礼物求和,却"站在"敌营之外被拒
(王下 18:14, 18, 37)。
大道因恐惧而荒凉,城邑受辱,土地遭蹂躏。
哀号——
(赛 15:4)。
英語原文
7-9. From the vision of future glory Isaiah returns to the disastrous present; the grief of "the valiant ones" (parallel to, and identical with, "the ambassadors of peace"), men of rank, sent with presents to sue for peace, but standing "without" the enemy's camp, their suit being rejected
(2Ki 18:14, 18, 37).
The highways deserted through fear, the cities insulted, the lands devastated.
cry--

8. 撕毁……盟约——西拿基立入侵犹大时,希西家向他进贡大笔银钱以求退兵;西拿基立收了银子,却仍派军攻打耶路撒冷
(王下 18:14, 17)。
藐视——轻看,以为无力抵抗
(赛 10:9;36:19);
轻易将其攻取。
英語原文
8. broken . . . covenant--When Sennacherib invaded Judea, Hezekiah paid him a large sum to leave the land; Sennacherib received the money and yet sent his army against Jerusalem
(2Ki 18:14, 17).
despised--make slight of as unable to resist him
(Isa 10:9; 36:19);
easily captures them.

巴珊——后来称为巴塔尼亚

果子——应译为理解作「叶子」;它们如冬天一般荒凉。

Sharon--south of Carmel, along the Mediterranean, proverbial for fertility
(Isa 35:2).
Bashan--afterwards called Batanea

(可 9:46-48)?
火是神审判的常见象征

(Isa 32:1)
"在祂的荣美中"
(So 5:10, 16;
Re 4:3)。
宽阔之地——更恰当作"那地在它最远的边界上"(不再像希西家被围困时那样局促);见边注。因为耶路撒冷被立为王之荣耀的所在
(Isa 33:20
等),而它不能称为"很远",除非那远方的地是指天,即在天上的耶路撒冷,要在弥赛亚于字面的耶路撒冷作地上的统治之后才来到

Jer 3:17;
Re 21:1, 2, 10)。

king in . . . beauty--not as now, Hezekiah in sackcloth, oppressed by the enemy, but King Messiah
(Isa 32:1)
"in His beauty"
(So 5:10, 16; Re 4:3).
land . . . very far off--rather, "the land in its remotest extent" (no longer pent up as Hezekiah was with the siege); see Margin. For Jerusalem is made the scene of the king's glory
(Isa 33:20,
&c.), and it could not be said to be "very far off," unless the far-off land be heaven, the Jerusalem above, which is to follow the earthly reign of Messiah at literal Jerusalem

*18. 思想——思想仇敌所造成的"惊恐",如今已成过去。
哪里等——犹太人因脱离危险而夸胜的话。
文士——登记军兵的人 [MAURER];或规定当纳贡赋的人 [ROSENMULLER];或记录掠物账目的人。"军中的书记长"
(2Ki 25:19;
Jer 52:25)。
亚述记录没有埃及记录那样的夸张。每幅亚述浮雕中都可见两位文士,记下送到他们面前的各样物品——被杀之人的首级、俘虏、牛羊等。
收税的——"秤重的人",边注。LAYARD 在亚述铭文中提到"一具称掠物的天平"。
数算……楼——负责侦察并向围城军报告城防力量的人。
英語原文
18. meditate--on the "terror" caused by the enemy, but now past.
where, &c.--the language of the Jews exulting over their escape from danger.
scribe--who enrolled the army [MAURER]; or, who prescribed the tribute to be paid [ROSENMULLER]; or, who kept an account of the spoil. "The principal scribe of the host"
(2Ki 25:19; Jer 52:25).
The Assyrian records are free from the exaggerations of Egyptian records. Two scribes are seen in every Assyrian bas-relief, writing down the various objects brought to them, the heads of the slain, prisoners, cattle, sheep, &c.
receiver--"weigher," Margin. LAYARD mentions, among the Assyrian inscriptions, "a pair a scales for weighing the spoils."
counted . . . towers--he whose duty it was to reconnoitre and report the strength of the city to be besieged.

(De 28:49, 50;
Jer 5:15;
Zec 14:2)。
结巴的——蛮夷的;所以"深奥的"等,即不可懂的。亚述语与希伯来文只是方言不同,但亚述征兵中有许多非闪族种族和语言的人,如玛代人、以拦人等(见
Isa 28:11
的注释)。
英語原文
19. fierce people--The Assyrians shall not be allowed to enter Jerusalem
(2Ki 19:32).
Or, thou shalt not any longer see fierce enemies threatening thee as previously; such as the Assyrians, Romans, and the last Antichristian host that is yet to assail Jerusalem
(De 28:49, 50; Jer 5:15; Zec 14:2).
stammering--barbarous; so "deeper," &c., that is, unintelligible. The Assyrian tongue differed only in dialect from the Hebrew, but in the Assyrian levies were many of non-Semitic race and language, as the Medes, Elamites, &c. (see on
Isa 28:11).

20. solemnities--solemn assemblies at the great feasts (see on
Isa 30:29;
Ps 42:4;
Ps 48:12).
not . . . taken down . . . removed--image from captives "removed" from their land
(Isa 36:17).
There shall be no more "taking away" to an enemy's land. Or else, from nomads living in shifting tents. The saints, who sojourned once in tabernacles as pilgrims, shall have a "building of God--eternal in the heavens"
(2Co 5:1; Heb 11:9, 10;

Isa 26:1)。
耶路撒冷无河之利;耶和华要如一条河,赐下河的一切益处,却没有河的任何弊端。
摇橹的船——长形以桨推进的战船;商船较宽,用帆。
威武——与先前译"荣耀"的希伯来文同字;"大能"适用于两处;所指为战船。当"大能的主"立为我们防御之时,无"大能的船"敢经过。
英語原文
21. there--namely, in Jerusalem.
will be . . . rivers--Jehovah will be as a broad river surrounding our city (compare
Isa 19:6; Na 3:8),
and this, too, a river of such a kind as no ship of war can pass (compare
Isa 26:1).
Jerusalem had not the advantage of a river; Jehovah will be as one to it, affording all the advantages, without any of the disadvantages of one.
galley with oars--war vessels of a long shape, and propelled by oars; merchant vessels were broader and carried sail.
gallant--same Hebrew word as for "glorious," previously; "mighty" will suit both places; a ship of war is meant. No "mighty vessel" will dare to pass where the "mighty Lord" stands as our defense.

22. Lord--thrice repeated, as often: the Trinity

*23. 绳索——延续
Isa 33:21
的比喻,他将敌军比作一艘战船,失去了用以支撑桅杆和展开帆的绳索;因此必然在"宽阔的江河"
(Isa 33:21)
上触礁,成为以色列的掠物。
它们——绳索,"不能稳住桅杆的底座"。
那时——当亚述军被击败之后。希西家曾给西拿基立三百他连得银子、三十他连得金子
(2Ki 18:14-16),
并剥下圣殿的金子给他;这财宝大概是在敌营中所获掠物的一部分。入侵之后,希西家有极多财富,以致作了不当的炫耀
(2Ki 20:13-15);
这些财富大概部分取自亚述人。
瘸腿的——连最软弱的人也要掳掠亚述营(参见
Isa 35:6;
2Sa 5:6)。
英語原文
23. tacklings--Continuing the allegory in
Isa 33:21,
he compares the enemies' host to a war galley which is deprived of the tacklings or cords by which the mast is sustained and the sail is spread; and which therefore is sure to be wrecked on "the broad river"
(Isa 33:21),
and become the prey of Israel.
they--the tacklings, "hold not firm the base of the mast."
then--when the Assyrian host shall have been discomfited. Hezekiah had given Sennacherib three hundred talents of silver, and thirty of gold
(2Ki 18:14-16),
and had stripped the temple of its gold to give it to him; this treasure was probably part of the prey found in the foe's camp. After the invasion, Hezekiah had so much wealth that he made an improper display of it
(2Ki 20:13-15);
this wealth, probably, was in part got from the Assyrian.
the lame--Even the most feeble shall spoil the Assyrian camp (compare
Isa 35:6; 2Sa 5:6).

*24. 病——SMITH 认为暗指亚述人被灭之瘟疫的起头,那瘟疫虽放过义人,却影响了城中的一些人("锡安中的罪人");可能是侵袭希西家的疾病
(Isa 38:1-22)。
将来的耶路撒冷中必无"疾病",因为必无"罪孽",罪既已赦免
(Ps 103:3)。
本节后一句含前一句的原因
(Mr 2:5-9)。
英語原文
24. sick--SMITH thinks the allusion is to the beginning of the pestilence by which the Assyrians were destroyed, and which, while sparing the righteous, affected some within the city ("sinners in Zion"); it may have been the sickness that visited Hezekiah
(Isa 38:1-22).
In the Jerusalem to come there shall be no "sickness," because there will be no "iniquity," it being forgiven
(Ps 103:3).
The latter clause of the verse contains the cause of the former
(Mr 2:5-9).
赛 33:1-24。
以赛亚论西拿基立倾覆的最后一篇预言。
赛 33:1, 8, 9
描述亚述的掠夺者;他虽强盛,却必在更强的耶和华面前倾倒
(赛 33:2-6, 10-12)。
时期为主前713年秋。
1. 你——即你虽然未曾被掠夺——你虽然未曾被人以诡诈对待(见
赛 24:16
的注释),你的掠夺与诡诈因此无可推诿,因为是无缘无故的。
完结——当神任凭你尽行其极以成就祂的计划之后,你自己的报应也必来到(比较
赛 10:12;14:2; 哈 2:8; 启 13:10)。
