Song of Songs 第 7 章

1

So 7:1-13.

打开经文

So 7:1-13.

1. 你的脚——更当译作“你的步履”

(Ps 17:5)。

明显是影射

Isa 52:7:

“那报好信息 . . . 传平安之人的脚登山何等佳美”(书拉密女,

So 6:13)。

鞋——在东方,凉鞋上镶满珍贵的宝石

(Lu 15:22; Eph 6:15)。

她显然“在群山之上”,正是她被提起去到那里

(So 6:12),

凌驾于耶路撒冷的众女子之上,因此她们先描绘她的脚。

女儿——神父的女儿,耶稣基督与父原为一

(Mt 5:9),

“(和平之)神的儿子”,即等于书拉密女

(Ps 45:10-15; 2Co 6:18),

也是耶稣基督的新妇。

君王——因此她自己也是君尊的,白白地将生命之道分给人,毫不吝惜自己的“脚”,正如

So 5:3; Ex 12:11。

进攻就是对自己最好的防守。

大腿——更当译作“圆润”;女性身形中臀部丰满优美的弧线;如同项链的圆润(希伯来文的“宝石”一词正有此义)。试将英文钦定译本与

Eph 4:13-16; Col 2:19

相较。

或可应用于将衣袍束在臀部的腰带

(Eph 6:14)。

巧匠的手——

(Ps 139:14-16; Eph 2:10, 22; 5:29, 30, 32)。

英文原文

So 7:1-13.

1. thy feet--rather, "thy goings"

(Ps 17:5).

Evident allusion to

Isa 52:7:

"How beautiful . . . are the feet of him . . . that publisheth peace" (Shulamite,

So 6:13).

shoes--Sandals are richly jewelled in the East

(Lu 15:22; Eph 6:15).

She is evidently "on the mountains," whither she was wafted

(So 6:12),

above the daughters of Jerusalem, who therefore portray her feet first.

daughter--of God the Father, with whom Jesus Christ is one

(Mt 5:9),

"children of (the) God" (of peace), equivalent to Shulamite

(Ps 45:10-15; 2Co 6:18),

as well as bride of Jesus Christ.

prince's--therefore princely herself, freely giving the word of life to others, not sparing her "feet," as in

So 5:3; Ex 12:11.

To act on the offensive is defensive to ourselves.

joints--rather, "the rounding"; the full graceful curve of the hips in the female figure; like the rounding of a necklace (as the Hebrew for "jewels" means). Compare with the English Version,

Eph 4:13-16; Col 2:19.

Or, applying it to the girdle binding together the robes round the hips

(Eph 6:14).

cunning workman--

(Ps 139:14-16; Eph 2:10, 22; 5:29, 30, 32).

2. 肚脐——更当译作“腰带扣”,因位于其下的身体部位而得名。“鞋”

(So 7:1)

表明衣饰在所有通常穿着衣物的部位都是全书预设的。她是“为新郎妆饰整齐的新妇”;“不体面的肢体”越发加以装饰

(1Co 12:23)。

腰带扣镶着红宝石,犹如盛调和香料之酒的“圆杯”(crater,即调酒器)(不是“酒汁”,

So 8:2; Isa 5:22)。

这就是“在我血中所立的新约”的酒

(Lu 22:20)。

由它所致的属灵陶醉,曾被人误以为是新酒所致

(Ac 2:13-17; Eph 5:18)。

肚腹——即其上的衣袍。正如

Ps 45:13, 14

中新妇的衣饰由金线和绣花组成,照样此处是金黄色的“麦子”和洁白的“百合花”。成熟的谷物,作为丰收欢乐的标记,惯常用百合花装饰;照样那累积的属灵粮食

(Joh 6:35; 12:24),

没有糠秕,不以荆棘为篱,却以百合花(“信徒”,

So 2:2; Ac 2:46, 47; 5:13, 14,

共同分享之)使之悦目。与那令人振奋的酒杯相连

(Zec 9:17),

正如此处。

英文原文

2. navel--rather, "girdle-clasp," called from the part of the person underneath. The "shoes"

(So 7:1)

prove that dress is throughout presupposed on all parts where it is usually worn. She is "a bride adorned for her husband"; the "uncomely parts," being most adorned

(1Co 12:23).

The girdle-clasp was adorned with red rubies resembling the "round goblet" (crater or mixer) of spice-mixed wine (not "liquor,"

So 8:2; Isa 5:22).

The wine of the "New Testament in His blood"

(Lu 22:20).

The spiritual exhilaration by it was mistaken for that caused by new wine

(Ac 2:13-17; Eph 5:18).

belly--that is, the vesture on it. As in

Ps 45:13, 14,

gold and needlework compose the bride's attire, so golden-colored "wheat" and white "lilies" here. The ripe grain, in token of harvest joy, used to be decorated with lilies; so the accumulated spiritual food

(Joh 6:35; 12:24),

free from chaff, not fenced with thorns, but made attractive by lilies ("believers,"

So 2:2; Ac 2:46, 47; 5:13, 14,

in common partaking of it). Associated with the exhilarating wine cup

(Zec 9:17),

as here.

3. 耶路撒冷的众女子用与耶稣基督在

So 4:5

中相同的词语来描述她。

天地两方的见证彼此吻合。

双生——信心与爱心。

英文原文

3. The daughters of Jerusalem describe her in the same terms as Jesus Christ in

So 4:5.

The testimonies of heaven and earth coincide.

twins--faith and love.

4. 象牙塔——在

So 4:4,

耶稣基督说:“大卫的塔,为军械库而建。”祂的描述以力量和得胜为主旨;此处则以秀美和打磨的洁白为主旨;对比

So 1:5。

水池——为伯克哈特(BURCKHARDT)所见,清澈

(Re 22:1),

深邃、宁静而丰满

(1Co 2:10, 15)。

希实本——约旦河东,亚摩利王西宏的居所

(Nu 21:25

等),后来为迦得人所据。

拔拉宾——“多民之女”;一处拥挤的大道。她的眼睛

(So 4:1)

被耶稣基督称为“鸽子眼”,仰望等候祂。但此处,在耶路撒冷的众女子眼中,它们被比作一片平静的湖水。她甚至在群众之中也安息平静

(Pr 8:2; Joh 16:33)。

鼻——或作脸。

利巴嫩塔——一座边境堡垒,监视着怀有敌意的大马士革。她对耶稣基督的面容满怀圣洁的羞愧(参

So 4:1;

So 4:3

的注释);对属灵的仇敌则如守望楼

(Hab 2:1; Mr 13:37; Ac 4:13),

高耸入云,使她不是从地仰望天,而是从天俯瞰地。若保留“鼻”的译法,则指对属灵香气之分辨。

英文原文

4. tower of ivory--In

So 4:4,

Jesus Christ saith, "a tower of David builded for an armory." Strength and conquest are the main thought in His description; here, beauty and polished whiteness; contrast

So 1:5.

fishpools--seen by BURCKHARDT, clear

(Re 22:1),

deep, quiet, and full

(1Co 2:10, 15).

Heshbon--east of Jordan, residence of the Amorite king, Sihon

(Nu 21:25,

&c.), afterwards held by Gad.

Bath-rabbim--"daughter of a multitude"; a crowded thoroughfare. Her eyes

(So 4:1)

are called by Jesus Christ, "doves' eyes," waiting on Him. But here, looked on by the daughters or Jerusalem, they are compared to a placid lake. She is calm even amidst the crowd

(Pr 8:2; Joh 16:33).

nose--or, face.

tower of Lebanon--a border-fortress, watching the hostile Damascus. Towards Jesus Christ her face was full of holy shame (see on

So 4:1;

So 4:3);

towards spiritual foes, like a watchtower

(Hab 2:1; Mr 13:37; Ac 4:13),

elevated, so that she looks not up from earth to heaven, but down from heaven to earth. If we retain "nose," discernment of spiritual fragrance is meant.

5. 在你身上——头饰“在”她头上。

迦密——意为一片耕作精良的田

(Isa 35:2)。

在

So 5:15

祂被比作雄伟的利巴嫩;她此处则被比作结果子的迦密。她的头饰,即冠冕

(2Ti 4:8; 1Pe 5:4)。

也是她所赢得的灵魂

(1Th 2:19, 20),

是她结果子的标记。

紫色——王权

(Re 1:6)。

应用于头发时,它表示那在东方备受赞赏的黑发(字面作“下垂的头发”)的光泽华美

(So 4:1)。

王将她的头发比作山羊的花发(她顺服的标记),耶路撒冷的众女子却将其比作王室的紫。

游廊——(参

So 1:17,

旁注;

Re 21:3)。

但 MAURER 此处译作“飘垂的发卷”;王被这些发卷如同被“绳索”(LEE 据阿拉伯文如此译)所“系住”

(So 6:5; Pr 6:25)。

她那紫色殉道者冠冕尤其使王倾心,这冠冕从祂的游廊中显出

(Ac 7:55, 56)。

正如参孙的力量在于他的头发

(Jud 16:17)。

此处众女子头一次亲自看见了王。

英文原文

5. upon thee--the headdress "upon" her.

Carmel--signifying a well-cultivated field

(Isa 35:2).

In

So 5:15

He is compared to majestic Lebanon; she here, to fruitful Carmel. Her headdress, or crown

(2Ti 4:8; 1Pe 5:4).

Also the souls won by her

(1Th 2:19, 20),

a token of her fruitfulness.

purple--royalty

(Re 1:6).

As applied to hair, it expresses the glossy splendor of black hair (literally, "pendulous hair") so much admired in the East

(So 4:1).

While the King compares her hair to the flowering hair of goats (the token of her subjection), the daughters of Jerusalem compare it to royal purple.

galleries--(so

So 1:17,

Margin;

Re 21:3).

But MAURER translates here, "flowing ringlets"; with these, as with "thongs" (so LEE, from the Arabic translates it) "the King is held" bound

(So 6:5; Pr 6:25).

Her purple crowns of martyrdom especially captivated the King, appearing from His galleries

(Ac 7:55, 56).

As Samson's strength was in his locks

(Jud 16:17).

Here first the daughters see the King themselves.

6. 众女子进一步靠近教会

(Ac 2:47; 5:13

节末)。爱她是爱祂的第一个标记

(1Jo 5:1

节末)。

俊美——对她们、对王都是迷人的魅力

(So 7:5; Isa 62:4,

“协西巴”〔Hephzi-bah〕)。将来也是如此

(Zep 3:17; Mal 3:12; Re 21:9)。

英文原文

6. Nearer advance of the daughters to the Church

(Ac 2:47; 5:13,

end). Love to her is the first token of love to Him

(1Jo 5:1,

end).

delights--fascinating charms to them and to the King

(So 7:5; Isa 62:4,

Hephzi-bah). Hereafter, too

(Zep 3:17; Mal 3:12; Re 21:9).

7. 棕树——

(Ps 92:12)。

是附近有水的确据

(Ex 15:27; Joh 7:38)。

累累——并非椰枣的累累,如 MOODY STUART 所想。

So 7:8

的平行“葡萄的累累”,表明此处是葡萄的累累。葡萄树常常被牵引(称为“婚配”)在别的树上。

英文原文

7. palm tree--

(Ps 92:12).

The sure sign of water near

(Ex 15:27; Joh 7:38).

clusters--not of dates, as MOODY STUART thinks. The parallelism

(So 7:8),

"clusters of the vine," shows it is here clusters of grapes. Vines were often trained (termed "wedded") on other trees.

8. 众女子不再满足于观赏,决意要摘取她的果子,尽管这些果子挂得很高。棕树的树干在相当高的部位是光秃的,其累累果实的冠顶在最上端。这是得胜喜乐的象征

(Joh 12:13);

将来也是如此

(Re 7:9)。

两乳——

(Isa 66:11)。

葡萄树——耶稣基督

(Ho 14:7

节末;

Joh 15:1)。

鼻——即气息;圣灵由祂——其“口极其甘甜”

(So 5:16)——

吹入她的鼻孔里。

苹果——香橼,来自那棵祂被比作的树

(So 2:3)。

英文原文

8. The daughters are no longer content to admire, but resolve to lay hold of her fruits, high though these be. The palm stem is bare for a great height, and has its crown of fruit-laden boughs at the summit. It is the symbol of triumphant joy

(Joh 12:13);

so hereafter

(Re 7:9).

breasts--

(Isa 66:11).

the vine--Jesus Christ

(Ho 14:7,

end;

Joh 15:1).

nose--that is, breath; the Holy Ghost breathed into her nostrils by Him, whose "mouth is most sweet"

(So 5:16).

apples--citrons, off the tree to which He is likened

(So 2:3).

9. 你的上膛——你的声音

(Pr 15:23)。

上好的酒——福音国度里那新酒

(Mr 14:25),

在五旬节倾倒出来

(Ac 2:4, 13, 17)。

为我的良人——

(So 4:10)。

此处众女子头一次称祂为她们的,便与新妇成为一。这些步骤依次是:

(So 1:5)

她们误断她

(So 3:11);

So 5:8,

表达出她们在她重得祂之前可能先寻见祂;

So 5:9

(So 6:1; 7:6, 9; Joh 4:42)。

使 . . . 沉睡的说话——

(Isa 35:6; Mr 5:19, 20; Ac 2:47; Eph 5:14)。

耶稣基督头一件神迹将水变为“存到如今的好酒”

(Joh 2:10);

照样福音使那些在律法之下沉睡将死的人复苏

(Pr 31:6; Ro 7:9, 10, 24, 25; 8:1)。

9. roof of thy mouth--thy voice

(Pr 15:23).

best wine--the new wine of the gospel kingdom

(Mr 14:25),

poured out at Pentecost

(Ac 2:4, 13, 17).

for my beloved--

(So 4:10).

Here first the daughters call Him theirs, and become one with the bride. The steps successively are

(So 1:5)

where they misjudge her

(So 3:11);

So 5:8,

where the possibility of their finding Him, before she regained Him, is expressed;

So 5:9

(So 6:1; 7:6, 9; Joh 4:42).

causing . . . asleep to speak--

(Isa 35:6; Mr 5:19, 20; Ac 2:47; Eph 5:14).

Jesus Christ's first miracle turned water into "good wine kept until now"

(Joh 2:10);

10. 这是耶路撒冷的众女子与新妇——如今合而为一——的话

她们后来又被分别提及

因不断有新的归信者从寻求者中被加入,而这些新归信者需要受嘱不可叫圣灵担忧。

他恋慕我——强烈的确据。祂如此切慕我们,以致让我们感受到祂对我们的切慕

(Ps 139:17, 18; Lu 22:15; Ga 2:20; 1Jo 4:16)。

英文原文

10. Words of the daughters of Jerusalem and the bride, now united into one

(Ac 4:32).

They are mentioned again distinctly

(So 8:4),

as fresh converts were being added from among enquirers, and these needed to be charged not to grieve the Spirit.

his desire is toward me--strong assurance. He so desires us, as to give us sense of His desire toward us

11. 田间——乡村。“葡萄树开花放花”(MAURER 译作“花朵”)先前已出现

(So 2:13)。

但此处她为祂预备各样新旧果子;并且,她在出去寻找时,盼望与祂在“爱”中相交。“早”暗示立即的热心。“村庄”暗示离耶路撒冷甚远。司提反死时,门徒从其中分散,走遍犹太和撒玛利亚,传扬这道

(Ac 8:4-25)。

耶稣基督与他们同在,以神迹印证这道。他们收取耶稣基督所撒种之旧果

(Joh 4:39-42),

也收取新果。

住宿——为耶稣基督的缘故舍弃家

(Mt 19:29)。

英文原文

11. field--the country. "The tender grape (MAURER translates, flowers) and vines" occurred before

(So 2:13).

But here she prepares for Him all kinds of fruit old and new; also, she anticipates, in going forth to seek them, communion with Him in "loves." "Early" implies immediate earnestness. "The villages" imply distance from Jerusalem. At Stephen's death the disciples were scattered from it through Judea and Samaria, preaching the word

(Ac 8:4-25).

Jesus Christ was with them, confirming the word with miracles. They gathered the old fruits, of which Jesus Christ had sown the seed

(Joh 4:39-42),

as well as new fruits.

是林奈(LINNÆUS)所定的Atropa mandragora;其叶如生菜,但深绿;花紫色;根分叉;果实如苹果大小,红而甜香,在麦收时节——即五月——采摘(Mariti, ii. 195)。

门——进入凉亭或夏宫的入口。爱“为自己所爱的人存留”各样最好的

(1Co 10:31; Php 3:8; 1Pe 4:11),

借此实际上——虽是不知不觉地——也为自己存留

(1Ti 6:18, 19)。

Atropa mandragora of LINNÆUS; its leaves like lettuce, but dark green, flowers purple, root forked, fruit of the size of an apple, ruddy and sweet-smelling, gathered in wheat harvest, that is, in May (Mariti, ii. 195).

gates--the entrance to the kiosk or summer house. Love "lays up" the best of everything for the person beloved

(1Co 10:31; Php 3:8; 1Pe 4:11),

(1Ti 6:18, 19).
