简体中文

Ne 3:1-32.

建造耶路撒冷城墙者之名与次序。

1. 大祭司以利亚实——约书亚的孙子,是归回后首位大祭司。

和他的弟兄众祭司起来——即以身作则率先动工,他们的工作局限于圣所一带。

他们建立羊门——靠近圣殿。其名或因羊市而来,或因该处的毕士大池而来

(Joh 5:2)。

羊在那里洗净,然后被带往圣殿献为祭物。

他们分别为圣,安立门扇——由于这是进圣殿的公用入口,也是修缮工程最先完成的部分,可能在完工感恩时举行了一些宗教仪式。「这是初熟的果子,因此在分别为圣时,全团全座建筑也都分别为圣了」[POOLE]。

米亚楼——这词在我们的译本中被误作一座楼的名称;它其实是希伯来文中表示「一百」的词,因此其意为:他们不仅重建了羊门,还重建了一百肘的城墙,这段城墙一直延伸到哈拿尼楼。

英語原文

Ne 3:1-32.

THE NAMES AND ORDER OF THEM THAT BUILDED THE WALL OF JERUSALEM.

1. Then Eliashib the high priest--the grandson of Jeshua, and the first high priest after the return from Babylon.

rose up with his brethren the priests--that is, set an example by commencing the work, their labors being confined to the sacred localities.

and they builded the sheep gate--close to the temple. Its name arose either from the sheep market, or from the pool of Bethesda, which was there

(Joh 5:2).

There the sheep were washed and then taken to the temple for sacrifice.

they sanctified it, and set up the doors--Being the common entrance into the temple, and the first part of the building repaired, it is probable that some religious ceremonies were observed in gratitude for its completion. "It was the first-fruits, and therefore, in the sanctification of it, the whole lump and building was sanctified" [POOLE].

the tower of Meah--This word is improperly considered, in our version, as the name of a tower; it is the Hebrew word for "a hundred," so that the meaning is: they not only rebuilt the sheep gate, but also a hundred cubits of the wall, which extended as far as the tower of Hananeel.

2. 其次是耶利哥人建造,等等——城墙被分成若干段,每段分别派给从被掳归回的各大族。这样安排使全城各处同时开工,精力充沛,极有利于迅速完工。「修复者所住的村庄多半都被提及,可见这一情形大致说明他们施工的那一段城墙,因为这些地方都位于离他们住处最近的那一侧;唯一明显的例外,也许是他们修补的超过了本段。他们完成了第一项任务(若还有别的工做的话),因靠他们住处的那一侧已无可做之工,或者他们是在最邻近自己住处的部分修缮工程已完工后才到的,便会到任何需要他们服务之处去」[BARCLAY, City of the Great King]。

英語原文

2. next unto him builded the men of Jericho, &c.--The wall was divided into portions, one of which was assigned respectively to each of the great families which had returned from the captivity. This distribution, by which the building was carried on in all parts simultaneously with great energy, was eminently favorable to despatch. "The villages where the restorers resided being mostly mentioned, it will be seen that this circumstance affords a general indication of the part of the wall upon which they labored, such places being on that side of the city nearest their place of abode; the only apparent exception being, perhaps, where they repaired more than their piece. Having completed their first undertaking (if they worked any more), there being no more work to be done on the side next their residence, or having arrived after the repairs on that part of the city nearest them under operation were completed, they would go wherever their services would be required" [BARCLAY, City of the Great King].

8. 他们修造耶路撒冷城墙直到宽墙——或作「双重墙」,自以法莲门至角门,长四百肘,从前被以色列王约阿施所拆毁

[2Ch 25:23],

后来乌西雅又重新修筑

[2Ch 26:9],

建得极其坚固,以致迦勒底人难以拆毁,便让它存留原状。

英語原文

8. they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall--or, "double wall," extending from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits in length, formerly broken down by Joash, king of Israel

[2Ch 25:23],

but afterwards rebuilt by Uzziah

[2Ch 26:9],

who made it so strong that the Chaldeans, finding it difficult to demolish, had left it standing.

简体中文

12. 沙龙……他和他的女儿们——她们或是女继承人,或是富有的寡妇。她们承担了靠近她们的城墙一部的费用。

英語原文

12. Shallum . . . he and his daughters--who were either heiresses or rich widows. They undertook to defray the expenses of a part of the wall next them.

简体中文

13. 撒挪亚的居民——犹大境内有两城以此为名

(Jos 15:34, 56)。

英語原文

13. the inhabitants of Zanoah--There were two towns so called in the territory of Judah

(Jos 15:34, 56).

简体中文

14. 伯·哈基琳——犹大的一城,据推测即今之伯土利亚,位于耶路撒冷与提哥亚之间,在一座同名的山上,此山有时亦称为法兰克人山。

英語原文

14. Beth-haccerem--a city of Judah, supposed to be now occupied by Bethulia, on a hill of the same name, which is sometimes called also the mountain of the Franks, between Jerusalem and Tekoa.

简体中文

16. 大卫的坟墓,又到那挖成的池子,并勇士之家——即沿锡安陡峭的悬崖而行 [BARCLAY]。

英語原文

16. the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty--that is, along the precipitous cliffs of Zion [BARCLAY].

简体中文

19. 城墙转弯之处——即横跨 Tyropoeon 谷的城墙,是第一道城墙的延续,将锡安山与圣殿墙连接起来 [BARCLAY]。

英語原文

19. at the turning of the wall--that is, the wall across the Tyropœon, being a continuation of the first wall, connecting Mount Zion with the temple wall [BARCLAY].

简体中文

25. 王宫上盖俯视高楼的塔——即王宫旁的瞭望塔 [BARCLAY]。

英語原文

25. the tower which lieth out from the king's high house--that is, watchtower by the royal palace [BARCLAY].

简体中文

26. 尼提宁人——不但祭司和利未人,连属神殿的普通人也参与了这项工作。修补耶路撒冷城墙之人的名字被记念,因为修补圣城乃是敬虔与爱国之工。护卫真敬拜神的人,使他们得以安静稳妥地事奉祂,并在仇敌环伺之中继续这工,敬虔地信靠神的大能来扶持他们——这是信仰与勇气的实例 [BISHOP PATRICK]。

英語原文

26. the Nethinims--Not only the priests and the Levites, but the common persons that belonged to the house of God, contributed to the work. The names of those who repaired the walls of Jerusalem are commemorated because it was a work of piety and patriotism to repair the holy city. It was an instance of religion and courage to defend the true worshippers of God, that they might serve Him in quietness and safety, and, in the midst of so many enemies, go on with this work, piously confiding in the power of God to support them [BISHOP PATRICK].
