Eze 32:1-32.

開啟正文

简体中文

Eze 32:1-32。

两首为法老所作的挽歌,一首传于初一日

(Eze 32:1),

另一首传于同月(第十二年十二月)十五日。

1. 即约雅斤被掳之后的第十二年;此时耶路撒冷已经倾覆,雅哈斯(Amasis)也已开始叛离法老合弗拉(Pharaoh-hophra)。

英文原文

Eze 32:1-32.

TWO ELEGIES OVER PHARAOH, ONE DELIVERED ON THE FIRST DAY

(Eze 32:1),

THE OTHER ON THE FIFTEENTH DAY OF THE SAME MONTH, THE TWELFTH OF THE TWELFTH YEAR.

1. The twelfth year from the carrying away of Jehoiachin; Jerusalem was by this time overthrown, and Amasis was beginning his revolt against Pharaoh-hophra.

2. 法老——在缅甸语中,“Phra”意为王、大祭司和偶像。

大鱼——更恰当的译法是水中任何巨兽;此处指尼罗河的鳄鱼。法老在旱地上如狮子,在水中如鳄鱼;即在各处都是可怖之物。

在江河中扑腾——FAIRBAIRN 译为“冲出”。“海”与“江河”的对偶支持 GROTIUS 的译法:“你从海中进入江河”;即从你自己的帝国进入别国。然而,英文版译法因“你的”一词而更有依据:你带着你的江河(即带着你的军兵)出来,却一蹶不振;照样,一度荒凉的以色列,要搅动众水(即周边列国)。

英文原文

2. Pharaoh--"Phra" in Burmah, signifies the king, high priest, and idol.

whale--rather, any monster of the waters; here, the crocodile of the Nile. Pharaoh is as a lion on dry land, a crocodile in the waters; that is, an object of terror everywhere.

camest forth with thy rivers--"breakest forth" [FAIRBAIRN]. The antithesis of "seas" and "rivers" favors GROTIUS rendering, "Thou camest forth from the sea into the rivers"; that is, from thy own empire into other states. However, English Version is favored by the "thy": thou camest forth with thy rivers (that is, with thy forces) and with thy feet didst fall irrecoverably; so Israel, once desolate, troubles the waters (that is, neighboring states).

3. 用多民的大军——即迦勒底人

(Eze 29:3, 4; Ho 7:12)。

我的网——因为他们是我的工具。

英文原文

3. with a company of many people--namely, the Chaldeans

(Eze 29:3, 4; Ho 7:12).

my net--for they are My instrument.

4. 将你丢在地上——如同鱼被拉出水面便失去一切力量,照样法老(在

Eze 32:3

中被比作水怪)也将如此

(Eze 29:5)。

英文原文

4. leave thee upon the land--as a fish drawn out of the water loses all its strength, so Pharaoh (in

Eze 32:3,

compared to a water monster) shall be

(Eze 29:5).

5. 你的高势——你的庞大[FAIRBAIRN]。你军队尸体堆积如山,你引以为傲。“高势”可指心智上的崇高,亦可指身体上的[VATABLUS]。

英文原文

5. thy height--thy hugeness [FAIRBAIRN]. The great heap of corpses of thy forces, on which thou pridest thyself. "Height" may refer to mental elevation, as well as bodily [VATABLUS].

6. 你所游泳之地——即 Egypt:那被 Nile 灌溉、因而肥沃之地,你在其中游泳(延续鳄鱼的意象,即你在其中任意逞其纵欲之权)。此为反讽。那地仍要供你畅游的海,却是血海。暗指那灾

(Ex 7:19; Re 8:8)。

HAVERNICK 译作:“我必以从你身上所流之物浇灌那地,就是你的血,直淹到山岭”;“以你的血漫溢直淹到山岭”。这译法或许更佳。

英文原文

6. land wherein thou swimmest--Egypt: the land watered by the Nile, the the source of its fertility, wherein thou swimmest (carrying on the image of the crocodile, that is, wherein thou dost exercise thy wanton power at will). Irony. The land shall still afford seas to swim in, but they shall be seas of blood. Alluding to the plague

(Ex 7:19; Re 8:8).

HAVERNICK translates, "I will water the land with what flows from thee, even thy blood, reaching to the mountains": "with thy blood overflowing even to the mountains." Perhaps this is better.

7. 将你熄灭——熄灭你的光

(Job 18:5)。

Pharaoh 被比作一颗明亮的星,当他这光在政治的穹苍中熄灭时,整个天上的群星都因同情而隐于黑暗之中。此处如

Eze 32:6

一样,暗指从前所降的超自然黑暗

(Ex 10:21-23)。

天体常被用作地上王朝的象征

(Isa 13:10; Mt 24:29)。

英文原文

7. put thee out--extinguish thy light

(Job 18:5).

Pharaoh is represented as a bright star, at the extinguishing of whose light in the political sky the whole heavenly host is shrouded in sympathetic darkness. Here, too, as in

Eze 32:6,

there is an allusion to the supernatural darkness sent formerly

(Ex 10:21-23).

The heavenly bodies are often made images of earthly dynasties

(Isa 13:10; Mt 24:29).

9. 你的毁灭——即你毁灭的消息(直译作“你的破毁”),由被掳分散的 Egypt 人带到“列国中”[GROTIUS];或作你破碎的百姓,如同一处大裂口,是他们从前光景的废墟[FAIRBAIRN]。

英文原文

9. thy destruction--that is, tidings of thy destruction (literally, "thy breakage") carried by captive and dispersed Egyptians "among the nations" [GROTIUS]; or, thy broken people, resembling one great fracture, the ruins of what they had been [FAIRBAIRN].

13. (见

Eze 29:11)。

这幅图画是理想上的真实,不可按字面解释。Egypt 的政治优势将随 Chaldean 的征服而止息[FAIRBAIRN]。此后 Pharaoh 在比喻上必不再借人或兽搅动诸水,即不再以他压倒性的军力淹没别的百姓。

英文原文

13. (See on

Eze 29:11).

The picture is ideally true, not to be interpreted by the letter. The political ascendency of Egypt was to cease with the Chaldean conquest [FAIRBAIRN]. Henceforth Pharaoh must figuratively no longer trouble the waters by man or beast, that is, no longer was he to flood other peoples with his overwhelming forces.

14. 使其水深沉——更作“使……平息”;直译作“下沉”[FAIRBAIRN]。

如油——宁静的象征。他们不再像泛滥的 Nile 那样猛烈地冲击别国,而在政治行动上归于静止迟缓。

英文原文

14. make their waters deep--rather, "make . . . to subside"; literally, "sink" [FAIRBAIRN].

like oil--emblem of quietness. No longer shall they descend violently on other countries as the overflowing Nile, but shall be still and sluggish in political action.

17. 第二首为法老所作的哀歌。这首挽歌在想象中伴随他进入不可见的世界。以政治元首为其化身、被人格化的埃及,在理想上被描绘为经历那人人难免的死亡之变。这表明埃及的霸权已不复存在,已成往事,永不再现。

那个月——即第十二月

(Eze 32:1);

在前一异象之后十四天。

英文原文

17. The second lamentation for Pharaoh. This funeral dirge in imagination accompanies him to the unseen world. Egypt personified in its political head is ideally represented as undergoing the change by death to which man is liable. Expressing that Egypt's supremacy is no more, a thing of the past, never to be again.

the month--the twelfth month

(Eze 32:1);

fourteen days after the former vision.

18. 使他们被扔下——即预言他们必被扔下(如

Jer 1:10)。

先知的话就是神的话,本身带有应验的能力。

列国的女子——即列国与其中的万民。埃及(Egypt)将与那些古代一度闻名、如今归于沉寂的列国同命:以拦(Elam,

Eze 32:24),

米设(Meshech)等(

Eze 32:26),

以东(Edom,

Eze 32:29),

西顿(Zidon,

Eze 32:30)。

英文原文

18. cast them down--that is, predict that they shall be cast down (so

Jer 1:10).

The prophet's word was God's, and carried with it its own fulfilment.

daughters of . . . nations--that is, the nations with their peoples. Egypt is to share the fate of other ancient nations once famous, now consigned to oblivion: Elam

(Eze 32:24),

Meshech, &c.

Edom

下去等——下到阴间,在那里一切“美貌”都速速被毁。

19. Whom dost thou pass in beauty?--Beautiful as thou art, thou art not more so than other nations, which nevertheless have perished.

go down, &c.--to the nether world, where all "beauty" is speedily marred.

必对他说——“他”当与“帮助他的”连读;即必带着嘲弄的欢迎对他和他的帮助者说,仿佛如今他已是他们中的一员。

21.

(Eze 31:16).

Ezekiel has before his eyes

Isa 14:9,

shall speak to him--with "him" join "with them that help him"; shall speak to him and his helpers with a taunting welcome, as now one of themselves.

22. 她……他——性别的突然转换,是因为以西结时而着眼于国度(阴性),时而着眼于君王。“亚述(Asshur)”,即亚述(Assyria),在刑罚中居首,因其在罪上也居首。

英文原文

22. her . . . his--The abrupt change of gender is, because Ezekiel has in view at one time the kingdom (feminine), at another the monarch. "Asshur," or Assyria, is placed first in punishment, as being first in guilt.

23. 在坑中极深处——东方的坟墓是从磐石中凿出的洞穴,尸体放在两侧所形成的壁龛中。MAURER 无必要地偏离了通常的意义,译作“极处”(比较

Isa 14:13, 15)。

曾使人惊恐的——他们生前使人惊恐,如今在阴间,自己却成了可怕的观看对象。

英文原文

23. in the sides of the pit--Sepulchres in the East were caves hollowed out of the rock, and the bodies were laid in niches formed at the sides. MAURER needlessly departs from the ordinary meaning, and translates, "extremities" (compare

Isa 14:13, 15).

which caused terror--They, who alive were a terror to others, are now, in the nether world, themselves a terrible object to behold.

24. 以拦(Elam)——列在其次,因它曾是亚述(Assyria)的帮手。其领土在波斯(Persia)。在亚伯拉罕(Abraham)时是一个独立的王国

(Ge 14:1)。 以其弓箭手闻名

(Isa 22:6)。

担当了羞辱——他们无法无天之骄傲的公义报应。被尼布甲尼撒(Nebuchadnezzar)所灭

(Jer 49:34-38)。

英文原文

24. Elam--placed next, as having been an auxiliary to Assyria. Its territory lay in Persia. In Abraham's time an independent kingdom

(Ge 14:1).

Famous for its bowmen

(Isa 22:6).

borne their shame--the just retribution of their lawless pride. Destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar

25. a bed--a sepulchral niche.

The very monotony of the phraseology gives to the dirge an awe-inspiring effect.

27. 他们不与……勇士同躺卧——即他们不会有像大征服者那样的单独坟墓:而要全堆在一个坑里,如战败者的情形 [GROTIUS]。 HAVERNICK 作问句读:“他们岂不与倒下的勇士同躺卧吗?”但英文译本得到以西结所引之平行经文

(Isa 14:18, 19)

的支持,那里将他们描绘为不像大君王那样躺在坟墓中,而是被丢弃在外,如被践踏的尸首。

带着……战争的兵器——暗指将战士与其兵器一同埋葬的习俗(玛迦比前书〔1 Maccabees〕 13:29)。他们虽因“把剑放在头下”而受尊荣,但“他们的罪孽必归到他们的骨头上”。他们的剑如此见证了他们的羞辱,而非荣耀

(Mt 26:52), 因为那是他们暴行的工具,他们正在为其受刑。

英文原文

27. they shall not lie with the mighty--that is, they shall not have separate tombs such as mighty conquerors have: but shall all be heaped together in one pit, as is the case with the vanquished [GROTIUS]. HAVERNICK reads it interrogatively, "Shall they not lie with the mighty that are fallen?" But English Version is supported by the parallel

(Isa 14:18, 19),

to which Ezekiel refers, and which represents them as not lying as mighty kings lie in a grave, but cast out of one, as a carcass trodden under foot.

with . . . weapons of war--alluding to the custom of burying warriors with their arms (1 Maccabees 13:29). Though honored by the laying of "their swords under their heads," yet the punishment of "their iniquities shall be upon their bones." Their swords shall thus attest their shame, not their glory

(Mt 26:52),

being the instruments of their violence, the penalty of which they are paying.

(Isa 34:5, 10-17; Jer 49:7, 13-18)。

与未受割礼的人同躺卧——以东虽受了割礼,因他是以撒(Isaac)的后裔,却要与未受割礼的人同躺卧;何况埃及(Egypt),本无受割礼的世袭权利。

英文原文

29. princes--Edom was not only governed by kings, but by subordinate "princes" or "dukes"

(Ge 36:40).

with their might--notwithstanding their might, they shall be brought down

(Isa 34:5, 10-17; Jer 49:7, 13-18).

(Eze 26:1-28:26),

[GROTIUS]。

西顿人(Zidonians)——他们与推罗(Tyre)同命

(Eze 28:21)。

因他们的惊恐而对自己的力量感到羞愧——即尽管他们在同代人中所引起的惊恐。“力量”MAURER 如此连接:“尽管因他们的力量而来的惊恐。”

英文原文

30. princes of the north--Syria, which is still called by the Arabs the north; or the Tyrians, north of Palestine, conquered by Nebuchadnezzar

(Eze 26:1-28:26),

[GROTIUS].

Zidonians--who shared the fate of Tyre

(Eze 28:21).

with their terror they are ashamed of their might--that is, notwithstanding the terror which they inspired in their contemporaries. "Might" is connected by MAURER thus, "Notwithstanding the terror which resulted from their might."

32. 我的惊恐——*边注(Margin)*或 Keri 的读法。*希伯来文(Hebrew)*正文或 Chetib 作“他的惊恐”,这也有好的意思

(Eze 32:25, 30)。

“我的惊恐”暗示神将祂的惊恐加于法老(Pharaoh)的群众,正如他们将其“惊恐”加于别人,例如在法老尼哥(Pharaoh-necho)之下加于犹大。正如“活人之地”曾是“他们惊恐”的舞台,那里也必成为神惊恐的舞台;尤其在犹大,祂要彰显祂的荣耀,使以色列的仇敌惊恐

(Eze 26:20)。

就以色列而言,这审判是暂时的,至终要在弥赛亚(Messiah)之下得着复兴。至于那些曾兴盛一时的列国,它们倾覆之后便不再兴起。

英文原文

32. my terror--the Margin or Keri. The Hebrew text or Chetib is "his terror," which gives good sense

(Eze 32:25, 30).

"My terror" implies that God puts His terror on Pharaoh's multitude, as they put "their terror" on others, for example, under Pharaoh-necho on Judea. As "the land of the living" was the scene of "their terror," so it shall be God's; especially in Judea, He will display His glory to the terror of Israel's foes

(Eze 26:20).

In Israel's case the judgment is temporary, ending in their future restoration under Messiah. In the case of the world kingdoms which flourished for a time, they fall to rise no more.
