Isa 57:1-21.
英文原文
Isa 57:1-21.
THE PEACEFUL DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS FEW: THE UNGODLINESS OF THE MANY: A BELIEVING REMNANT SHALL SURVIVE THE GENERAL JUDGMENTS OF THE NATION, AND BE RESTORED BY HIM WHO CREATES PEACE.
In the midst of the excesses of the unfaithful watchmen
(Isa 56:10, 11, 12),
most of the few that are godly perish: partly by vexation at the prevailing ungodliness; partly by violent death in persecution: prophetical of the persecuting times of Manasseh, before God's judgments in causing the captivity in Babylon; and again those in the last age of the Church, before the final judgments on the apostasy
(2Ki 21:16; Mt 23:29-35, 37; Re 11:17).
The Hebrew for "perisheth," and "is taken away," expresses a violent death
(Mic 7:2).
1. no man layeth it to heart--as a public calamity.
merciful men--rather, godly men; the subjects of mercy.
none considering--namely, what was the design of Providence in removing the godly.
from the evil--Hebrew, from the face of the evil, that is, both from the moral evil on every side
(Isa 56:10-12),
and from the evils about to come in punishment of the national sins, foreign invasions, &c.
(Isa 56:9; 57:13).
So Ahijah's death is represented as a blessing conferred on him by God for his piety
(1Ki 14:10-13;
see also
2Ki 22:20).

2. 或作"他进入平安"，与他在世上所受的逼迫相对
（伯 3:13, 17）。
旁注译作"他必平安而去"，并不妥当
（诗 37:37； 路 2:29）。
安息——他们身体在坟墓（称作"床"，
代下 16:14；
参
赛 14:18；
因他们于其上"睡眠"，并确信复活时必醒，
帖前 4:14）
中安静的安息，正是永恒"安息"的象征
（来 4:9； 启 14:13）。
各人……行……正直的事——此句界定了那些死时"在床上安息"之人的品格，即一切行事正直的人。
英文原文
2. Or, "he entereth into peace"; in contrast to the persecutions which he suffered in this world
(Job 3:13, 17).
The Margin not so well translates, "he shall go in peace"
(Ps 37:37; Lu 2:29).
rest--the calm rest of their bodies in their graves (called "beds,"
2Ch 16:14;
compare
Isa 14:18;
because they "sleep" in them, with the certainty of awakening at the resurrection,
1Th 4:14)
is the emblem of the eternal "rest"
(Heb 4:9; Re 14:13).
each one walking in . . . uprightness--This clause defines the character of those who at death "rest in their beds," namely, all who walk uprightly.

3. 至于你们——与"义人"及其结局相对，他向不信的犹太人宣告其厄运。
巫婆的儿子——即沉迷于巫术的人；这与敬拜假神相关
（王下 21:6）。
对东方人而言，没有比羞辱其母亲更深的侮辱
（撒上 20:30； 伯 30:8）。
奸淫者的后裔——指属灵的奸淫，即拜偶像与背道
（太 16:4）。
英文原文
3. But . . . ye--In contrast to "the righteous" and their end, he announces to the unbelieving Jews their doom.
sons of the sorceress--that is, ye that are addicted to sorcery: this was connected with the worship of false gods
(2Ki 21:6).
No insult is greater to an Oriental than any slur cast on his mother
(1Sa 20:30; Job 30:8).
seed of the adulterer--Spiritual adultery is meant: idolatry and apostasy
(Mt 16:4).

4. 戏笑——即讥诮
（赛 66:5）。
你们可知道你们所讥诮的那一位——因讥诮他的仆人（"义人"，
赛 57:1）——是何等荣耀？
（代下 36:16）。
张……口——
（诗 22:7, 13； 35:21； 哀 2:16）。
悖逆之子云云——不仅是悖逆者之子、虚谎者之种，更是悖逆与虚谎本身之子，对神全然不忠。
英文原文
4. sport yourselves--make a mock
(Isa 66:5).
Are ye aware of the glory of Him whom you mock, by mocking His servants ("the righteous,"
Isa 57:1)?
(2Ch 36:16).
make . . . wide mouth--
(Ps 22:7, 13; 35:21; La 2:16).
children of transgression, &c.--not merely children of transgressors, and a seed of false parents, but of transgression and falsehood itself, utterly unfaithful to God.

5. 欲火攻心——即对偶像欲火焚烧[GESENIUS]；或作（参旁注）在笃耨香树林中，希伯来文与平行句都支持此解（见
赛 1:29
注释）[MAURER]。
在……树下——
（王下 17:10）。
树如在亚述的浮雕中，大概被奉为天象的偶像象征。
宰杀……儿女——即献为祭物给摩洛等
（王下 17:31； 代下 28:3； 33:6）。
在……谷中——即欣嫩子谷。在铜制的中空神像内点火，将孩子放在它加热的怀中；敲打手鼓（希伯来文 toph）以淹没孩子的哭声；故此谷得名陀斐特
（代下 33:6； 耶 7:3）。
在……石缝下——洞穴的阴暗正合他们黑暗的迷信。
英文原文
5. Enflaming yourselves--burning with lust towards idols [GESENIUS]; or else (compare Margin), in the terebinth groves, which the Hebrew and the parallelism favor (see on
Isa 1:29)
[MAURER].
under . . . tree--
(2Ki 17:10).
The tree, as in the Assyrian sculptures, was probably made an idolatrous symbol of the heavenly hosts.
slaying . . . children--as a sacrifice to Molech, &c.
(2Ki 17:31; 2Ch 28:3; 33:6).
in . . . valleys--the valley of the son of Hinnom. Fire was put within a hollow brazen statue, and the child was put in his heated arms; kettle drums (Hebrew, toph) were beaten to drown the child's cries; whence the valley was called Tophet
(2Ch 33:6; Jer 7:3).
under . . . clifts--the gloom of caverns suiting their dark superstitions.

6. 那些光滑的石头，被雕成偶像，便是你所拣选作为你产业的那些神
（诗 16:5）。
素祭——不是流血的祭，而是细面加油调和的祭。古英语中 "meat" 指食物，非如今所指的肉
（利 14:10）。
岂可……得安慰——更确切为"我岂可忍耐这些事？"[HORSLEY]。
英文原文
6. The smooth stones, shaped as idols, are the gods chosen by thee as thy portion
(Ps 16:5).
meat offering--not a bloody sacrifice, but one of meal and flour mingled with oil. "Meat" in Old English meant food, not flesh, as it means now
(Le 14:10).
Should I receive comfort--rather, "Shall I bear these things with patience?" [HORSLEY].

无标题
7. 在……高山……床榻——比喻取自公开而无耻的奸淫
（结 23:7）；
"床榻"对应那属灵上对神圣丈夫不忠的场所——偶像祭坛
（结 16:16, 25；23:41）。
英文原文
7. Upon . . . high mountain . . . bed--image from adultery, open and shameless
(Eze 23:7);
the "bed" answers to the idolatrous altar, the scene of their spiritual unfaithfulness to their divine husband
(Eze 16:16, 25; 23:41).

8. 「记念」，即你偶像崇拜的纪念物：你所记念的对象。他们把家中的守护神挂在「门后」；正是神吩咐他们要将其律法写在其上的「门框和城门」之处
（申 6:9; 11:20）；
在「隐密处」立像也是受咒诅的
（申 27:15）。
显露自己——取自淫妇的意象。
扩张……床——以容纳更多的情夫。
立……约——与偶像立约：公然违背你与神所立的「约」
（出 19:5; 23:32）。
或作「你与他们为自己定下约会」[HORSLEY]。
你的床……他们的床——犹太人的罪是双重的：他们去偶像崇拜之处（「他们的床」），又将偶像引入神的殿（「你的床」）。
在哪里——应译为「自从那时」[HORSLEY]。希伯来文「在哪里」意为「空间」（栏注），一处地方；因此译为「你已为它（『他们的床』）预备了一处地方」，即在你的地上容许偶像崇拜的祭坛[BARNES]；或「你在他们的床上为自己选择（便利的）地方」[MAURER]
（赛 56:5）。
英文原文
8. "Remembrance," that is, memorials of thy idolatry: the objects which thou holdest in remembrance. They hung up household tutelary gods "behind the doors"; the very place where God has directed them to write His laws "on the posts and gates"
(De 6:9; 11:20);
a curse, too, was pronounced on putting up an image "in a secret place"
(De 27:15).
discovered thyself--image from an adulteress.
enlarged . . . bed--so as to receive the more paramours.
made . . . covenant--with idols: in open violation of thy "covenant" with God
(Ex 19:5; 23:32).
Or, "hast made assignations with them for thyself" [HORSLEY].
thy bed . . . their bed--The Jews' sin was twofold; they resorted to places of idolatry ("their bed"), and they received idols into the temple of God ("thy bed").
where--rather, "ever since that" [HORSLEY]. The Hebrew for "where" means "room" (Margin), a place; therefore, translate, "thou hast provided a place for it" (for "their bed"), namely, by admitting idolatrous altars in thy land [BARNES]; or "thou choosest a (convenient) place for thyself" in their bed [MAURER]
(Isa 56:5).

9. 王——他们来膜拜的偶像，用油膏抹，如同妓女
（耶 4:30； 结 23:16, 40）。
所以「王」意即偶像
（摩 5:26； 番 1:5）；
（malcham 意为「王」）[ROSENMÜLLER]。 更恰当地说，是亚述王或埃及王及其他外国君主，以色列倚靠他们而非倚靠神；这样，「膏油」就指礼物
（何 12:1），
也许还有随从外邦偶像崇拜，以色列借此试图赢得他们的好感[LOWTH]
（赛 30:6； 结 16:33; 23:16； 何 7:11）。
差遣……使者远行——不仅到邻国，而是到「远方」的列国，寻找新的偶像或结盟。
直到阴间——最低可能的堕落。
英文原文
9. the king--the idol which they came to worship, perfumed with oil, like harlots
(Jer 4:30; Eze 23:16, 40).
So "king" means idol
(Am 5:26; Zep 1:5);
(malcham meaning "king") [ROSENMULLER]. Rather, the king of Assyria or Egypt, and other foreign princes, on whom Israel relied, instead of on God; the "ointment" will thus refer to the presents
(Ho 12:1),
and perhaps the compliances with foreigners' idolatries, whereby Israel sought to gain their favor [LOWTH]
(Isa 30:6; Eze 16:33; 23:16; Ho 7:11).
send . . . messengers far off--not merely to neighboring nations, but to those "far off," in search of new idols, or else alliances.
even unto hell--the lowest possible degradation.

10. 大道——你寻求陌生神明或外国援助的旅程之长
（耶 2:23, 24）。
尽管你从这些长途旅行中未得好处（如「差遣……远方」
赛 57:9），
你仍不放弃希望
（耶 2:25; 18:12）。
找到了……手中——因「你仍找到生命（即精力）在你手中」足以制造新的偶像[MAURER]，或寻求新的结盟（此时「手」被取为一般的力量）。
不耐烦——应译为「因此你并不软弱」[MAURER]；既然你「手中有生命」，你在希望中仍是坚强的。
英文原文
10. greatness of . . . way--the length of thy journey in seeking strange gods, or else foreign aid
(Jer 2:23, 24).
Notwithstanding thy deriving no good from these long journeys (so, "send . . . far off,"
Isa 57:9),
thou dost not still give up hope
(Jer 2:25; 18:12).
hast found . . . life of . . . hand--for "thou still findest life (that is, vigor) enough in thy hand" to make new idols [MAURER], or to seek new alliance ("hand" being then taken for strength in general).
grieved--rather, "therefore thou art not weak" [MAURER]; inasmuch as having "life in thy hand," thou art still strong in hope.

11. 以色列不愿显得完全否认神。所以他们向他「说谎」。神问：你为何如此行？「你怕谁？当然不是我；因为你不记念我。」译为「既然你不记念我」。
放在……心上——应译为「也不以我为念」；不顾念我；因为我长久沉默，未曾刑罚你。文字上，「我不是闭口不言吗？而且许久如此？所以你不敬畏我」
（诗 50:21； 传 8:11）。
与其以虚假信仰的谎言「谄媚他」，不如公然弃绝神
（诗 78:36）[LUDOVICUS DE DIEU]。
然而
赛 51:12, 13
支持英文译本对全节的译法；神的「沉默」长久忍耐，本意是要引他们悔改，却使他们「不敬畏他」
（罗 2:4, 5）。
英文原文
11. Israel wished not to seem altogether to have denied God. Therefore they "lied" to Him. God asks, Why dost thou do so? "Whom dost thou fear? Certainly not Me; for thou hast not remembered Me." Translate, "seeing that thou hast not remembered Me."
laid it to . . . heart--rather, "nor hast Me at heart"; hast no regard for Me; and that, because I have been long silent and have not punished thee. Literally, "Have I not held My peace, and that for long? and so thou fearest Me not"
(Ps 50:21; Ec 8:11).
It would be better openly to renounce God, than to "flatter Him" with lies of false professions
(Ps 78:36)
[LUDOVICUS DE DIEU]. However,
Isa 51:12, 13
favors English Version of the whole verse; God's "silent" long-suffering, which was intended to lead them to repentance, caused them "not to fear Him"
(Ro 2:4, 5).

虚空——应译为「一口气」[LOWTH]。
得……地……为业——即字面的犹大地和锡安山；信主的以色列余民要归回并得地为业。其次，天上的基业和属灵的锡安
（赛 49:8； 诗 37:9, 11; 69:35, 36； 太 5:5； 来 12:22）。
「凡信靠我的」，无论何种出身，都要承继背道犹太人的属灵产业[HORSLEY]。
英文原文
13. When thou criest--In the time of thy trouble.
companies--namely, of idols, collected by thee from every quarter; or else, of foreigners, summoned to thy aid.
wind . . . carry . . . away--
(Job 21:18; Mt 7:27).
vanity--rather, "a breath" [LOWTH].
possess . . . land . . . inherit--that is, the literal land of Judea and Mount Zion; the believing remnant of Israel shall return and inherit the land. Secondarily, the heavenly inheritance, and the spiritual Zion
(Isa 49:8; Ps 37:9, 11; 69:35, 36; Mt 5:5; Heb 12:22).
"He that putteth his trust in Me," of whatever extraction, shall succeed to the spiritual patrimony of the apostate Jew [HORSLEY].

信主的余民在以色列将来复兴时——正如从巴比伦归回的预表实体——必得着一切归途上的障碍被清除
（赛 35:8; 40:3, 4; 62:10, 11）。
修筑……大道——在归回的犹太人面前预备一条高路。
绊脚石——耶稣曾为犹太人的绊脚石，但那时不再如此
（林前 1:23）；
他们的成见那时必被除去。
英文原文
14. shall say--The nominative is, "He that trusteth in Me"
(Isa 57:13).
The believing remnant shall have every obstacle to their return cleared out of the way, at the coming restoration of Israel, the antitype to the return from Babylon
(Isa 35:8; 40:3, 4; 62:10, 11).
Cast . . . up--a high road before the returning Jews.
stumbling-block--Jesus had been so to the Jews, but will not be so then any longer
(1Co 1:23);
their prejudices shall then be taken out of the way.

（亚 12:6, 10-14）；
可能在他们归回之后，仍有一段前导的不信时期
（亚 12:8, 9）。
英文原文
15. The pride and self-righteousness of the Jews were the stumbling block in the way of their acknowledging Christ. The contrition of Israel in the last days shall be attended with God's interposition in their behalf. So their self-humiliation, in
Isa 66:2, 5, 10,

神「必不永远相争」与他的百姓，因为他们的人的灵会因此被全然压碎，而神的目的是要管教，不是要毁灭他们
（哀 3:33, 34； 弥 7:8, 9）。
对不敬虔之人，他「天天向他们发怒」

Isa 57:14, 15,
of restoring Israel when "contrite"
(Ge 6:3; 8:21; Ps 78:38, 39; 85:5; 103:9, 13, 14; Mic 7:18).
God "will not contend for ever" with His people, for their human spirit would thereby be utterly crushed, whereas God's object is to chasten, not to destroy them
(La 3:33, 34; Mic 7:8, 9).
With the ungodly He is "angry every day"
(Ps 7:11; Re 14:11).

掩面——

[HORSLEY]。
我要……将安慰赐给他和他的哀哭之人——然而"他的哀哭之人"一语支持英文钦定本；如此"他所行的道"便指他悔改的道；而神"看见"便赦免，与同样的应许相符

Jer 31:18, 20)。

I will . . . restore comforts unto him and to his mourners--However, the phrase, "his mourners," favors English Version; "his ways" will thus be his ways of repentance; and God's pardon on "seeing" them answers to the like promise

Peace, peace--"perfect peace" (see
Isa 26:3,
Margin;

Primarily, the cessation of the troubles now afflicting the Jews, as formerly, under the Babylonian exile. More generally, the peace which the Gospel proclaims both to Israel "that is near," and to the Gentiles who are "far off"

在不忠信的守望者
（赛 56:10, 11, 12）
的种种放荡之中，少数敬虔人多半灭亡：部分因对盛行的不敬虔忧伤愤慨；部分因在逼迫中暴毙：这预言了玛拿西的逼迫时期，即神使他们被掳巴比伦的审判之前；也预言了教会末后的时代，即对 apostasy 的最终审判之前
（王下 21:16； 太 23:29-35, 37； 启 11:17）。
希伯来文"灭亡"和"被收去"表示暴毙
（弥 7:2）。
1. 无人放在心上——视之为公共灾祸。
虔诚人——更准确地说，应作敬虔人；即怜悯的对象。
无人想到——即无人想到神护理在挪去敬虔人上有何旨意。
免得——希伯来文作"离开恶人面前"，即离开四围的道德邪恶
（赛 56:10-12），
也离开将要因举国之罪而来的灾祸、外敌入侵等
（赛 56:9；57:13）。
照样，亚希雅的死被描述为神因他的敬虔而赐给他的福
