Isa 26:1-21.
英文原文
Isa 26:1-21.
CONNECTED WITH THE TWENTY-FOURTH AND TWENTY-FIFTH CHAPTERS. SONG OF PRAISE OF ISRAEL AFTER BEING RESTORED TO THEIR OWN LAND.
As the overthrow of the apostate faction is described in the twenty-fifth chapter, so the peace of the faithful is here described under the image of a well-fortified city.
1. strong city--Jerusalem, strong in Jehovah's protection: type of the new Jerusalem
(Ps 48:1-3),
contrasted with the overthrow of the ungodly foe
(Isa 26:4-7, 12-14; Re 22:2, 10-12,
&c.).
salvation . . . walls--
(Isa 60:18; Jer 3:23; Zec 2:5).
MAURER translates, "Jehovah makes His help serve as walls"
(Isa 33:20, 21,
&c.).
bulwarks--the trench with the antemural earthworks exterior to the wall.

2. 归回之民对耶路撒冷城门的呼求(耶路撒冷是天上圣城的 prefiguration,
来 12:22);
(诗 24:7, 9;118:19)。
就 antitype 而言
(启 22:14;21:25, 27)。
义民——即在被掳期间未曾叛教的民。HORSLEY 译作"义者之民",即犹太人。
英文原文
2. Address of the returning people to the gates of Jerusalem (type of the heavenly city,
Heb 12:22);
(Ps 24:7, 9; 118:19).
Antitypically
(Re 22:14; 21:25, 27).
righteous nation--that had not apostatized during the captivity. HORSLEY translates, "The nation of the Just One," namely, the Jews.

3. 心……坚定——
(诗 112:7, 8)。
耶稣能在你心中赐下"十分平安",纵然外面试炼的风暴肆虐
(赛 57:19; 可 4:39);
正如一座城虽被围攻,因内有强兵驻守而安固(参
腓 4:7)。
"保守",字面为"如驻军般护卫"。HORSLEY译作:(神的)工作(希伯来文未必是"心",而是"所造成之物",
弗 2:10),
如此常常"得着扶持";或作"你所造成并扶持的(义民),你必保守他们永享平安"。
英文原文
3. mind . . . stayed--
(Ps 112:7, 8).
Jesus can create "perfect peace" within thy mind, though storms of trial rage without
(Isa 57:19; Mr 4:39);
as a city kept securely by a strong garrison within, though besieged without (so
Php 4:7).
"Keep," literally, "guard as with a garrison." HORSLEY translates, (God's) workmanship (the Hebrew does not probably mean "mind," but "a thing formed,"
Eph 2:10),
so constantly "supported"; or else "formed and supported (by Thee) Thou shalt preserve (it, namely, the righteous nation) in perpetual peace."

4. 主耶和华——希伯来文为 Jah, Jehovah。两名并用,最高程度地表达神不变的爱与大能(参
诗 68:4)。
本段以及
赛 12:2; 出 6:3; 诗 83:18,
是英文译本保留原文"耶和华"之名的四处经文。MAURER译作:"因 JAH(永存不变者,
出 3:14)
就是 JEHOVAH,永世的磐石"(参
赛 45:17; 申 32:15; 撒上 2:2)。
英文原文
4. Lord JEHOVAH--Hebrew, Jah, Jehovah. The union of the two names expresses in the highest degree God's unchanging love and power (compare
Ps 68:4).
This passage, and
Isa 12:2; Ex 6:3; Ps 83:18,
are the four in which the English Version retains the JEHOVAH of the original. MAURER translates, "For JAH (the eternal unchangeable One,
Ex 3:14)
is JEHOVAH, the rock of ages" (compare
Isa 45:17; De 32:15; 1Sa 2:2).

5. 高城——指巴比伦,代表历世历代神子民仇敌的坚固堡垒
(赛 25:2, 12; 13:14)。
英文原文
5. lofty city--Babylon; representative of the stronghold of the foes of God's people in all ages
(Isa 25:2, 12; 13:14).
6
无标题
6. 贫穷人——
(赛 25:4),
指曾经受苦的犹太被掳者。"脚要践踏",比喻上指因神仇敌的倾覆而欢喜
(启 18:20)。
英文原文
6. poor--
(Isa 25:4),
the once afflicted Jewish captives. "Foot shall tread," is figurative for exulting in the fall of God's enemies
(Re 18:20).
7
无标题
7. 正直——更当为"是正直的",即为神所引导,以致通达顺利,无论其间有多少苦难(如犹太被掳者);上下文要求此意
(诗 34:19; 箴 3:6;11:5),
[MAURER]:因此"道"意指神对义人的对待
(诗 37:23)。
至正直的——
(申 32:4)。
衡量——
(撒上 2:3; 箴 5:21)。
更当为"你修平夷齐"[MAURER],挪去一切障碍
(赛 40:3, 4)。
英文原文
7. uprightness--rather, "is direct," that is, is directed by God to a prosperous issue, however many be their afflictions in the meantime (as in the case of the Jewish exiles); the context requires this sense
(Ps 34:19; Pr 3:6; 11:5),
[MAURER]: thus "way" means God's dealings with the righteous
(Ps 37:23).
most upright--
(De 32:4).
dost weigh--
(1Sa 2:3; Pr 5:21).
Rather, "thou dost make plain and level" [MAURER], removing all obstacles
(Isa 40:3, 4).

无标题
8. 你审判的道——我们等候你出来惩罚仇敌
(赛 26:9, 10)
[MAURER]。HORSLEY译
赛 26:7, 8
作:"义人的道路完全平直;你必为义人修平一条平坦的路,就是你律法的道,耶和华啊,我们素来等候你。"
名……记念——即神所彰显的属性,借此为人所记念
(赛 64:5; 出 3:15)。
英文原文
8. way of thy judgments--We have waited for Thy proceeding to punish the enemy
(Isa 26:9, 10)
[MAURER]. HORSLEY translates
Isa 26:7, 8,
"The path of the Just One is perfectly even; an even road Thou wilt level for the Just One, even the path of Thy laws, O Jehovah. We have expected Thee."
name . . . remembrance--the manifested character of God by which He would be remembered
(Isa 64:5; Ex 3:15).
9
无标题
9. 我……我心……——文字上是「我……我的心」,同位语;忠信的犹太人在此处个别地说话。仇敌的覆灭和犹太人的恢复,是随着后者及神一切百姓的祷告而来的
(赛 62:1-4, 6, 7; 诗 102:13-17)。
夜间——
(诗 63:6; 歌 3:1)。
世界……学习……公义——审判之后留下的余民
(诗 58:10, 11; 亚 14:16)。
英文原文
9. With, . . . soul . . . I--literally, "I . . . my soul," in apposition; the faithful Jews here speak individually. The overthrow of the foe and the restoration of the Jews are to follow upon prayer on the part of the latter and of all God's people
(Isa 62:1-4, 6, 7; Ps 102:13-17).
in the night--
(Ps 63:6; So 3:1).
world . . . learn . . . righteousness--the remnant left after judgments
(Ps 58:10, 11; Zec 14:16).
10
无标题
10. 正直——应译为如
赛 26:7
中的「兴盛」,与平行句中的「恩惠」相应,并与「在世上审判」
(赛 26:9)
相对;兴盛既临到恶人也临到义人,「他就不学习公义」,因此必须降下审判使他能「学习」公义[MAURER]。
英文原文
10. uprightness--rather, as in
Isa 26:7,
"prosperity," answering to "favor" in the parallelism, and in antithesis to "judgments in the earth"
(Isa 26:9);
where prosperity attends the wicked as well as the just, "he will not learn righteousness," therefore judgments must be sent that he may "learn" it [MAURER].

无标题
11. 举起——为刑罚神百姓的仇敌。那些不愿看见的,必被「看见」付上代价
(赛 5:12)。
他们……嫉妒百姓——即「你的百姓」。 LOWTH 译为「他们必羞愧地看见你对你百姓的热心。」
仇敌的火——即你的仇敌命定的火
(赛 9:18)。
英文原文
11. lifted up--to punish the foes of God's people. They who will not see shall be made to "see" to their cost
(Isa 5:12).
their envy at the people--that is, "Thy people." LOWTH translates, "They shall see with confusion Thy zeal for Thy people."
fire of . . . enemies--that is, the fire to which Thine enemies are doomed
(Isa 9:18).

(Ps 138:8).

13. 别的主人——暂时的;外邦君王
(代下 12:8; 28:5, 6),
尼布甲尼撒等。属灵上,偶像和私欲
(罗 6:16-18)。
唯有你——唯独归功于你,使我们再次敬拜你为我们的主[MAURER]。 「(我们是)唯独你的,我们要颂赞你的名」[HORSLEY]。 患难的成圣之效
(诗 71:16; 119:67, 71)。
英文原文
13. other lords--temporal; heathen kings
(2Ch 12:8; 28:5, 6),
Nebuchadnezzar, &c. Spiritual also, idols and lusts
(Ro 6:16-18).
by thee only--It is due to Thee alone, that we again worship Thee as our Lord [MAURER]. "(We are) Thine only, we will celebrate Thy name" [HORSLEY]. The sanctifying effect of affliction
(Ps 71:16; 119:67, 71).

14. 他们——那些「其他的主」或暴君
(赛 26:13)。
不能存活——即不再存活。
离世之人——希伯来文「Rephaim」;在阴间之地的无力者
(赛 14:9, 10)。
所以——意即既然。比较「所以」
(创 18:5; 19:8)。
英文原文
14. They--The "other lords" or tyrants
(Isa 26:13).
shall not live--namely, again.
deceased--Hebrew, "Rephaim"; powerless, in the land of shades
(Isa 14:9, 10).
therefore--that is, inasmuch as. Compare "therefore"
(Ge 18:5; 19:8).
15
无标题
15. 已——预言性的过去式
(赛 9:3)。
已扩展……地的四境——应译为「你已扩展了这地的一切边界」[VITRINGA]。
英文原文
15. hast--prophetical preterite
(Isa 9:3).
hast removed . . . far . . . ends of . . . earth--rather, "Thou hast extended far all the borders of the land" [VITRINGA].
16
无标题
16. 求告——寻求。
倾吐——
(诗 62:8),
如器皿倒尽一切内容。
祷告——文字上「低声的祷告」,栏注「秘密的叹息」向神求助(比较
耶 13:17; 申 8:16)。
英文原文
16. visited--sought.
poured out--
(Ps 62:8),
as a vessel emptying out all its contents.
prayer--literally, "a whispered prayer," Margin, "a secret sighing" to God for help (compare
Jer 13:17; De 8:16).
17
无标题
17. 这是痛苦中带着指望的象征,随后有使痛苦完全被遗忘的喜乐。锡安寻求拯救,看似徒然,实则即将大得荣耀地得救
(Mic 4:9, 10-13; 5:1-3;
Joh 16:21, 22)。
英文原文
17. An image of anguish accompanied with expectation, to be followed by joy that will cause the anguish utterly to be forgotten. Zion, looking for deliverance, seemingly in vain, but really about to be gloriously saved
(Mic 4:9, 10-13; 5:1-3; Joh 16:21, 22).
18
无标题
18. 生风——MICHAELIS 将此解释为积气之症。更恰当作"风"是徒劳之功*的象征。"我们"与"你的"、"我的"
(Isa 26:19)
相对——我们徒劳尝试的,神必成就。
未曾……施行拯救——字面作"那地(犹大)未成为保障",即未成为免受仇敌侵害的安全之地。
世界……也不落下——"世界"与"地"即犹大相对,指普世。与神之城为敌的世界尚未被制服。但 MAURER 按阿拉伯惯用语解释"落下"为孩子的出生,出生时称为落下;"世界的居民(以色列,
Isa 24:4;
非指普世)尚未出生";即那地仍荒凉,尚未有人居住。
英文原文
18. brought forth wind--MICHAELIS explains this of the disease empneumatosis. Rather, "wind" is a figure for that which proves an abortive effort. The "we" is in antithesis to "Thy," "my"
(Isa 26:19),
what we vainly attempt, God will accomplish.
not wrought . . . deliverance in . . . earth--literally, "the land (Judea) is not made security," that is, is not become a place of security from our enemies.
neither . . . world fallen--The "world" at large, is in antithesis to "the earth," that is, Judea. The world at enmity with the city of God has not been subdued. But MAURER explains "fallen," according to Arabic idiom, of the birth of a child, which is said to fall when being born; "inhabitants of the world (Israel,
Isa 24:4;
not the world in general) are not yet born"; that is, the country as yet lies desolate, and is not yet populated.

无标题
*19. 与
Isa 26:14
相对——"他们(以色列的仇敌)不能活";"你的(耶和华的)死人(犹太人)要活",首先指属灵地复兴
(Isa 54:1-3),
公民和国家地复兴
(Isa 26:15);
而你的仇敌则不能;最终,在预言最广的意义上,字面上复活
(Eze 37:1-14;
Da 12:2)。
一同与我的死尸——更恰当作"我的死尸"或"尸首"(犹太民族被拟人化,曾在属灵和公民意义上死亡;或那民族如母亲,论及她众儿女各自的身体,见
Isa 26:9
的注释,"我"、"我的"):耶和华的"死人"和"我的死人"是同一的 [HORSLEY]。然而,由于耶稣是以色列的实体
(Mt 2:15),
英文钦定本给出了真实的意思,也是预言最终所 contemplation 的:基督的死尸复活,是耶和华之民(所有人,尤其是信者——属灵的以色列人)也复活的源头
(1Co 15:20-22)。
醒来——
(Eph 5:14),
属灵上。
在尘土中——俯伏而死亡,属灵和公民意义上;也字面上
(Isa 25:12; 47:1)。
甘露——东方甘露丰盛,多少弥补雨水的不足
(Ho 14:5)。
丢弃……死人——即将他们重新带到生命中。
英文原文
19. In antithesis to
Isa 26:14,
"They (Israel's foes) shall not live"; "Thy (Jehovah's) dead men (the Jews) shall live," that is, primarily, be restored, spiritually
(Isa 54:1-3),
civilly and nationally
(Isa 26:15);
whereas Thy foes shall not; ultimately, and in the fullest scope of the prophecy, restored to life literally
(Eze 37:1-14; Da 12:2).
together with my dead body--rather, "my dead body," or "bodies" (the Jewish nation personified, which had been spiritually and civilly dead; or the nation, as a parent, speaking of the bodies of her children individually, see on
Isa 26:9,
"I," "My"): Jehovah's "dead" and "my dead" are one and the same [HORSLEY]. However, as Jesus is the antitype to Israel
(Mt 2:15),
English Version gives a true sense, and one ultimately contemplated in the prophecy: Christ's dead body being raised again is the source of Jehovah's people (all, and especially believers, the spiritual Israelites) also being raised
(1Co 15:20-22).
Awake--
(Eph 5:14),
spiritually.
in dust--prostate and dead, spiritually and nationally; also literally
(Isa 25:12; 47:1).
dew--which falls copiously in the East and supplies somewhat the lack of rain
(Ho 14:5).
cast out . . . dead--that is, shall bring them forth to life again.

*20. 进入……内室——当神即将向不敬虔之人报仇时,圣徒必被祂关在安全之处,如挪亚一家在洪水之日
(Ge 7:16),
又如以色列人在杀埃及长子之夜受命不可出门
(Ex 12:22, 23;
Ps 31:20; 83:3)。
圣徒当平静自信地等候结局
(Ex 14:13, 14)。
英文原文
20. enter . . . chambers--When God is about to take vengeance on the ungodly, the saints shall be shut in by Him in a place of safety, as Noah and his family were in the days of the flood
(Ge 7:16),
and as Israel was commanded not to go out of doors on the night of the slaying of the Egyptian first-born
(Ex 12:22, 23; Ps 31:20; 83:3).
The saints are calmly and confidently to await the issue
(Ex 14:13, 14).

(Mic 1:3;

显露……血——

一切无辜所流的血,和一切其他所行的恶,长久以来似无惩罚,那时都要受报
(Re 16:6)。
英文原文
21.
(Mic 1:3; Jude 14).
disclose . . . blood--
(Ge 4:10, 11; Job 16:18; Eze 24:7, 8).
All the innocent blood shed, and all other wrongs done, so long seemingly with impunity, shall then be avenged
(Re 16:6).
赛 26:1-21。
与第二十四、二十五章相连。以色列归回故土之后的赞美之歌。
正如第二十五章描述了叛教派系的倾覆,此处则以一座坚固城为喻,描述了忠信者的平安。
1. 坚固城——即耶路撒冷,因耶和华的保护而坚固:是新耶路撒冷的 prefiguration
(诗 48:1-3),
与不虔之敌的倾覆相对照
(赛 26:4-7, 12-14; 启 22:2, 10-12
等)。
救恩……为墙——
(赛 60:18; 耶 3:23; 亚 2:5)。
MAURER 译作"耶和华以祂的帮助为墙垣"
(赛 33:20, 21
等)。
外郭——城墙之外有护城壕沟及外围土垒。
1. 刚硬——更准确地说,应作"坚硬"、"经过锻炼的"。
鳄鱼——字面在阿拉伯文中作"扭曲的动物",可指水中一切大型生物,如海蛇、鳄鱼等。在
结 29:3;32:2; 但 7:1
等处,以及
启 12:3
等处,与以色列为敌的掌权者也如此被描述;就 antitype 与最终意义而言,乃指撒但
(启 20:10)。
快行的——刚硬[LOWTH]。飞行的[MAURER 与七十士译本]。长的、伸展的,即如鳄鱼身体不易弯回[HOUBIGANT]。
曲行的——蜿蜒的。
蛇——希伯来文 tenin;即鳄鱼。
海——即幼发拉底河,或其在巴比伦附近的宽阔水域。
