De 9:1-25.
简体中文
英文原文
De 9:1-25.
MOSES DISSUADES THEM FROM THE OPINION OF THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
1. this day--means this time. The Israelites had reached the confines of the promised land, but were obliged, to their great mortification, to return. But now they certainly were to enter it. No obstacle could prevent their possession; neither the fortified defenses of the towns, nor the resistance of the gigantic inhabitants of whom they had received from the spies so formidable a description.
cities great and fenced up to heaven--Oriental cities generally cover a much greater space than those in Europe; for the houses often stand apart with gardens and fields intervening. They are almost all surrounded with walls built of burnt or sun-dried bricks, about forty feet in height. All classes in the East, but especially the nomad tribes, in their ignorance of engineering and artillery, would have abandoned in despair the idea of an assault on a walled town, which to-day would be demolished in a few hours.

4-6. 你不可心里说……说，耶和华因我的义将我领进来得这地为业——摩西特别谨慎地提防国人因虚荣而以为，是自己的功劳为他们赢得了这独特的特权。迦南人是无可救药地败坏的族类，理当灭绝；但历史记载了许多显著的事例，神借着同样败坏的其他民族来惩治败坏有罪的国家。神将迦南赐给他们，不是为了以色列人的缘故，而是为了祂自己的缘故，为了向他们敬虔的列祖所立的应许，并为了成就对世界更高更广的善旨。
英文原文
4-6. Speak not thou in thine heart, . . . saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land--Moses takes special care to guard his countrymen against the vanity of supposing that their own merits had procured them the distinguished privilege. The Canaanites were a hopelessly corrupt race, and deserved extermination; but history relates many remarkable instances in which God punished corrupt and guilty nations by the instrumentality of other people as bad as themselves. It was not for the sake of the Israelites, but for His own sake, for the promise made to their pious ancestors, and in furtherance of high and comprehensive purposes of good to the world, that God was about to give them a grant of Canaan.

7. 你当记念，不忘，你怎样惹动耶和华——为从他们心中除去任何自恃己义的念头，摩西重述他们屡次在最可畏、最庄严肃穆的情境下所犯的悖逆与背叛，表明他们已丧失一切对神恩惠的要求权。他坦诚大胆地陈述这些有损其民族品格的指控，百姓又耐心地承受——这常被引为这段历史真实性的众多证据之一。
英文原文
7. Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the Lord--To dislodge from their minds any presumptuous idea of their own righteousness, Moses rehearses their acts of disobedience and rebellion committed so frequently, and in circumstances of the most awful and impressive solemnity, that they had forfeited all claims to the favor of God. The candor and boldness with which he gave, and the patient submission with which the people bore, his recital of charges so discreditable to their national character, has often been appealed to as among the many evidences of the truth of this history.

8. 你们在何烈山——更当译作"甚至在何烈山"，即在本可指望他们会另行行事的地方。
英文原文
8. Also in Horeb--rather, "even in Horeb," where it might have been expected they would have acted otherwise.

12-29. 你起来，赶快下去，因为你……的百姓已经败坏了——为要有效地使他们谦卑，摩西进而细述他们不忠信的几个最恶劣的事例。他从金牛犊的亵渎开始——当他们从埃及得奇妙释放、在毗邻的山上所展示的最壮观的神圣威仪、以及最近才批准的、他们承诺作神子民的圣约，仍记忆犹新之际，这种亵渎表明了几乎难以置信的反复无常或堕落。
英文原文
12-29. Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people . . . have corrupted themselves--With a view to humble them effectually, Moses proceeds to particularize some of the most atrocious instances of their infidelity. He begins with the impiety of the golden calf--an impiety which, while their miraculous emancipation from Egypt, the most stupendous displays of the Divine Majesty that were exhibited on the adjoining mount, and the recent ratification of the covenant by which they engaged to act as the people of God, were fresh in memory, indicated a degree of inconstancy or debasement almost incredible.

17. 我就拿那两块版……在你们眼前摔碎了——不是在失控暴怒的激动中，而是在义怒之中，出于维护神无玷污之尊荣的热忱，并借着祂圣灵的感动，暗示圣约已被破坏，百姓已从神圣的恩惠中被排除。
英文原文
17. I took the two tables, . . . and broke them before your eyes--not in the heat of intemperate passion, but in righteous indignation, from zeal to vindicate the unsullied honor of God, and by the suggestion of His Spirit to intimate that the covenant had been broken, and the people excluded from the divine favor.

18. 我就在耶和华面前俯伏——这一幕异教狂欢在这位敬虔而爱国的领袖心中所引起的骤然而痛苦的反弹，难以言述、易于想象。重大的公开之罪需要非常的自卑时期；在他为这可怕背道的深切伤痛中，他似乎进行了一次与从前一样长的奇妙禁食。
英文原文
18. I fell down before the Lord--The sudden and painful reaction which this scene of pagan revelry produced on the mind of the pious and patriotic leader can be more easily imagined than described. Great and public sins call for seasons of extraordinary humiliation, and in his deep affliction for the awful apostasy, he seems to have held a miraculous fast as long as before.

20. 耶和华向亚伦甚是发怒，要灭绝他——亚伦因任凭民众喧嚣的潮流所裹挟，成了拜偶像之罪的同担者；若不是摩西为他恳切代求奏效，他必因这有罪的依从而遭受刑罚。
英文原文
20. The Lord was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him--By allowing himself to be overborne by the tide of popular clamor, Aaron became a partaker in the guilt of idolatry and would have suffered the penalty of his sinful compliance, had not the earnest intercession of Moses on his behalf prevailed.

21. 我把那牛犊的尘撒在从山上流下来的溪水中——即"那被击打的磐石"（El Leja），它可能紧邻西奈，或是西奈的一部分。人们很少记得，虽然以色列人在利非订（Wady Feiran）驻营时从这磐石得水供应，但圣经的叙述中并无任何线索使我们假定那磐石就在该地的近旁（参
出 17:5)。
这被击打之磐石的水，可能就是从山上流下来的溪水。这水可能在距磐石许多英里之外流出，正如现今阿拉伯石区（Arabia-Petræa）的 wady 中冬季的急流一样
(诗 78:15, 16)。
而磐石可能被击打于这样的高度，并处于与西奈诸谷如此的关系中，以致能以这种方式为以色列人从何烈经西珥山路到加低斯巴尼亚的旅程
(申 1:1, 2)
供应水。按此假设，使徒论及"那随着他们的磐石"
(林前 10:4)
之比喻语言，或许得以得到新的亮光〔WILSON 著Land of the Bible〕。
英文原文
21. I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount--that is, "the smitten rock" (El Leja) which was probably contiguous to, or a part of, Sinai. It is too seldom borne in mind that though the Israelites were supplied with water from this rock when they were stationed at Rephidim (Wady Feiran), there is nothing in the Scripture narrative which should lead us to suppose that the rock was in the immediate neighborhood of that place (see on
Ex 17:5).
The water on this smitten rock was probably the brook that descended from the mount. The water may have flowed at the distance of many miles from the rock, as the winter torrents do now through the wadies of Arabia-Petræa
(Ps 78:15, 16).
And the rock may have been smitten at such a height, and at a spot bearing such a relation to the Sinaitic valleys, as to furnish in this way supplies of water to the Israelites during the journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir and Kadesh-barnea
(De 1:1, 2).
On this supposition new light is, perhaps, cast on the figurative language of the apostle, when he speaks of "the rock following" the Israelites
(1Co 10:4)
[WILSON, Land of the Bible].

25. 我就在耶和华面前，像先前那样俯伏四十昼夜——在列举了种种悖逆之后，他曾提及加低斯巴尼亚的爆发，乍读此节，似乎那次爆发导致摩西进入第三次漫长的自卑时期。但将本段与
民 14:5
比较，这祷告的主题和用语表明，此处所详述的只是第二次的代求
(申 9:18)。
英文原文
25. Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first--After the enumeration of various acts of rebellion, he had mentioned the outbreak at Kadesh-barnea, which, on a superficial reading of this verse, would seem to have led Moses to a third and protracted season of humiliation. But on a comparison of this passage with
Nu 14:5,
the subject and language of this prayer show that only the second act of intercession
(De 9:18)
is now described in fuller detail.
De 9:1-25.
摩西劝阻他们自以为义的念头。
1. 今日——意即此时。以色列人曾到达应许之地的边界，却不得不满怀羞愧地折返。但如今他们确要进入那地了。再无障碍能阻挡他们得地为业；无论是城镇坚固的防御，还是那身高伟岸的居民——他们曾从探子口中听闻对这些居民可畏的描述——都不能拦阻。
城邑又大又坚固，高得顶天——东方的城邑通常占地远比欧洲的城邑广阔；因为房屋往往彼此相距甚远，中间隔着园子和田地。这些城邑几乎都有城墙环绕，用砖窑所烧的砖或日晒砖砌成，高约四十英尺。东方各阶层的人，尤其是游牧部落，因不谙工程与攻城之术，面对一座有城墙的城镇，往往会绝望地放弃进攻的念头——那样的城墙在今天只需几个小时便可被摧毁。
