Ezekiel 34:1
繁體中文
bản gốc tiếng anh
The prophet has yet to pronounce a judgment upon unfaithful rulers, whose punishment will further the good of those whom they have misguided. He shows what the rulers should have been, what they have been, and what in the coming times they shall be when the True King shall reign in the true kingdom. Hence, follows a description of Messiah's reign.

Ezekiel 34:2
繁體中文
牧人——不是指祭司或先知,而是指統治者和君王(見 Jeremiah 2:8 的註釋)。「統治者」最古老的稱號,是一個出現在楔形文字最古老碑銘上的單體符號;在亞述語中演變為 riu(比較希伯來文 רעה râ‛âh,即「牧人」)。在伯羅索斯的傳說中,世上第一位王亞羅魯斯從神明領受了「牧人」的稱號。這稱號與那符號一樣,一直保存到亞述王朝的末年。正當百姓的困苦與悲慘與日俱增之際,猶大末後的諸王卻向臣民徵斂越來越多,而在個人的奢侈與排場上揮霍越來越甚。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Shepherds - Not priests or prophets, but rulers and kings (see the Jeremiah 2:8 note). The most ancient title for "ruler" is a monogram which occurs on the oldest monuments discovered in the cuneiform character. In the Assyrian language it became riu (compare Hebrew רעה râ‛âh equals shepherd). In the traditions of Berosus we find that Alorus, the first king in the world, received from the Divinity the title of Shepherd. The title, as well as the monogram, was preserved to the latest times of the Assyrian monarchy. While the distress and misery of the people daily in creased, the last kings of Judah exacted more and more from their subjects and lavished more and more on personal luxury and show.

Ezekiel 34:11
繁體中文
耶和華是祂子民的牧者。眾牧者本當行而未行的一切,祂必親自行出來。這些應許——在從巴比倫歸回一事及馬加比時代其後的繁盛中已部分應驗——指向萬民被招聚到好牧人基督的教會裏。比較 Matthew 18:11;John 10:1-18;Romans 9:25-33。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Yahweh is the shepherd of His people. He will do all which the shepherds should have done and did not. These promises - partially fulfilled in the return from Babylon, and in the subsequent prosperity under the Maccabees - point to the ingathering of all nations in the Church of Christ the Good Shepherd. Compare Matthew 18:11 : John 10:1-18; Romans 9:25-33.
12
Ezekiel 34:12
繁體中文
密雲黑暗的日子——與主如牧人般在他們中間、再次聚集他們的那日相對照。
bản gốc tiếng anh
The cloudy and dark day - Contrasted with the day in which the Lord will be among them like a shepherd to gather them together again.
16
Ezekiel 34:16
繁體中文
按公平——耶和華作牧者的特點,是在於羊與羊之間施行判斷:棄絕驕傲的,接納悔改傷心的。
bản gốc tiếng anh
With judgment - It is characteristic of Yahweh as a shepherd that He judges between sheep and sheep, rejecting the proud and accepting the penitent and broken-hearted.

Ezekiel 34:20
繁體中文
耶和華既應許作祂子民的君,接著便描述神國度的治理:由一位王——大衛的代表——執掌,他的權柄要成全起初賜給那合神心意之人的一切應許。與其說以西結在原初的應許上有所加添,不如說他在解釋並發揮那應許。眾先知受感宣告的屬靈之福,其完全的應驗顯然從未實現於猶太人任何今世的繁盛之中,也從不能、且永不能實現於任何屬地的國度;因此,我們在整本聖經中辨認出一切預言的唯一主題——那義者之王、受膏的君、大衛的兒子與大衛的主。
bản gốc tiếng anh
Yahweh having promised to be a Ruler of His people, the administration of the divine kingdom is now described, as carried on by One King, the representative of David, whose dominion should fulfill all the promises originally made to the man after God's own heart. Ezekiel does not so much add to, as explain and develope, the original promise; and as the complete fulfillment of the spiritual blessings, which the prophets were guided to proclaim, was manifestly never realized in any temporal prosperity of the Jews, and never could and never can be realized in any earthly kingdom, we recognize throughout the Sacred Volume the one subject of all prophecy - the Righteous King, the Anointed Prince, the Son and the Lord of David.
23
Ezekiel 34:23
繁體中文
一個牧人——指單一的一位,統治不再分裂的百姓,因為以色列國與猶大國之間的分別已經廢去。
我的僕人大衛——大衛是耶和華真實而忠心的僕人,故為那真君王的合宜預表。大衛只是局部地、不完全地如此;基督卻全然完全地成就了(比較 Matthew 12:18;John 5:30;Hebrews 10:7)。
bản gốc tiếng anh
One shepherd - One, as ruling over an undivided people, the distinction between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah having been done away.
My servant David - David was a fit type of the True King because he was a true and faithful servant of Yahweh. That which David was partially and imperfectly, Christ is in full perfection (compare Matthew 12:18; John 5:30; Hebrews 10:7.)
26
Ezekiel 34:26
繁體中文
這裏預告的福,特別是舊約之福。曠野(或作牧野)和樹林——最易受猛獸猛禽侵襲之地——成了安全之所。在新約之下,錫安及其周圍的山丘代表神的教會;今世的福則是預表,預表那位已戰勝罪惡權勢者向基督教會所傾注的諸般福氣。
bản gốc tiếng anh
The blessings here foretold are especially those of the old covenant. The wilderness (or, pasture-country) and the woods, the places most exposed to beasts and birds of prey, become places of security. Under the new covenant Sion and the hills around are representative of God's Church; and temporal blessings are typical of the blessings showered down upon Christ's Church by Him who has vanquished the powers of evil.
29
Ezekiel 34:29
繁體中文
一棵植物——相等於以賽亞和耶利米用以預言彌賽亞的「苗裔」之名。本節與饑荒的對照,似乎支持這「植物」是為作食物——即屬靈食物——的觀念;在這意義上,它也適用於彌賽亞(比較 John 6:35)。
異邦人的羞辱——指異教民攻擊他們時所施可恥的辱罵。
bản gốc tiếng anh
A plant - Equivalent to the "Branch," under which name Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesy of the Messiah. The contrast in this verse to hunger seems to favor the idea that the "plant" was for food, i. e., spiritual food, and in this sense also, applicable to the Messiah (compare John 6:35.)
The shame of the pagan - The shameful reproaches with which the pagan assail them.
31
Ezekiel 34:31
繁體中文
可譯作:「你們是我的羊群,我草場的羊群(比較 Jeremiah 23:1);你們是人,我是你們的神。」
bản gốc tiếng anh
Translate "Ye are my flock, the flock of my pasture (compare Jeremiah 23:1); ye are men, and I am your God."
先知還要向不忠的統治者宣告審判;懲罰他們,將使那些被他們誤導的人得益。他指出統治者本當如何、實際如何,以及在將來的日子、當真正的王在真正的國度中作王時,他們將要如何。接著便是對彌賽亞作王的描述。
