繁體中文
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. 歸回之民向耶路撒冷城門的呼籲（天上之城的預表，
Heb 12:22);
(Ps 24:7, 9; 118:19).
本體意義上
(Re 22:14; 21:25, 27).
righteous nation——在被擄期間未曾叛教的。HORSLEY 譯作「那義者之國」，即猶太人。
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. mind . . . stayed——
(Ps 112:7, 8).
耶穌能在你心中造出「完全的平安」，儘管外面試煉的風暴肆虐
(Isa 57:19;
Mr 4:39);
猶如一座城邑，雖被圍困於外，卻因內有強大的駐軍而穩妥（參
Php 4:7).
「保守」，字面即「如駐軍般護衛」。HORSLEY 譯作：（神的）作為（希伯來文大概不是指「心思」，而是指「所造成之物」，
Eph 2:10),
如此不斷地「扶持」；或作「為祢所造並蒙扶持的，祢必保守（它，即義國）在永遠的平安中」。
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. Lord JEHOVAH——希伯來文作 Jah, Jehovah. 二名並用，以最高程度表達神永不改變的慈愛與大能（比較
Ps 68:4).
本段以及
Isa 12:2;
Ex 6:3;
Ps 83:18,
是英文譯本保留原文 JEHOVAH 的僅有四處。MAURER 譯作：「因為 JAH（永恆不變的那位，
Ex 3:14）
就是 JEHOVAH，永世的磐石」（比較
Isa 45:17;
De 32:15;
1Sa 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).

6. poor——
(Isa 25:4),
曾經受苦的猶大俘虜。「腳踐踏」比喻因神仇敵的傾覆而歡躍
(Re 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. uprightness——不如作「是正直的」，即蒙神引導歸向亨通的結局，無論其間有多少苦難（如猶大被擄者的情形）；上下文要求此意
(Ps 34:19;
Pr 3:6; 11:5),
[MAURER]：因此「道」指神對義人的對待
(Ps 37:23).
most upright——
(De 32:4).
dost weigh——
(1Sa 2:3;
Pr 5:21).
不如作「祢使……平坦」[MAURER]，移去一切障礙
(Isa 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).

8. way of thy judgments——我們等候祢起來刑罰仇敵
(Isa 26:9, 10)
〔MAURER〕。HORSLEY 將
Isa 26:7, 8
譯作：「那義者的路是完全正直的；祢必為那義者修平一條平直的路，就是祢律法的路，耶和華啊，我們素來等候祢。」
name . . . remembrance——神所彰顯的屬性，藉此祂被記念
(Isa 64:5; Ex 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. With, . . . soul . . . I——字面意思是「我……我的靈魂」，為同位語；此處忠信的猶太人個別說話。仇敵的傾覆與猶太人的復興，要隨著後者及神一切子民的禱告而來
(Isa 62:1-4, 6, 7; Ps 102:13-17)。
in the night——
(Ps 63:6; So 3:1)。
world . . . learn . . . righteousness——審判之後所剩下的餘民
(Ps 58:10, 11; Zec 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. uprightness——宜如
Isa 26:7，
作「興盛」，與平行句中的「恩惠」相對應，並與「在地上審判」相對
(Isa 26:9)；
在那裡興盛與義人一同臨到惡人，「他必不學習公義」，因此必須差遣審判，使他可以「學習」〔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].

fire of . . . enemies——即你的仇敵所註定的火
(Isa 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).

（代下 12:8，28:5、6），
尼布甲尼撒等。屬靈方面亦然，偶像和私欲

只有你——我們再次敬拜你為我們的主，這唯獨歸功於你〔MAURER〕。「（我們是）唯獨屬你的，我們要稱讚你的名」
〔HORSLEY〕。
苦難使人成聖的功效
（詩 71:16，119:67、71）。
英文原文

(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

英文原文

poured out--
(Ps 62:8),

17. 一幅伴隨期待的痛苦的意象，隨後而來的是使痛苦完全被遺忘的喜樂。錫安盼望拯救，看似徒然，實則即將榮耀地得救
（彌 4:9、10-13，5:1-3； 約 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. 產生風——MICHAELIS 將此解釋為氣腫病。宜作「風」是徒勞無功的比喻。「我們」與「你的」、「我的」
（賽 26:19）
相對，我們徒勞嘗試的，神必成就。
未曾……在地上施行拯救——希伯來文作「地（猶太）未曾成為保障」，即未成為免受仇敵侵害的安全之所。
世上的居民也未曾……墜落——「世界」與「地」即猶太相對。與神之城為敵的世界尚未被制伏。但 MAURER 按阿拉伯文習慣，將「墜落」解為孩子的誕生，孩子出生時被說成墜落；「世界的居民（以色列，
賽 24:4；
並非泛指世界）尚未誕生」；即那地目前仍荒涼，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.

19. 與
賽 26:14
相對：「他們（以色列的仇敵）不能活」；「你的（耶和華的）死人（猶太人）要活」，即首先在屬靈上恢復
（賽 54:1-3），
在民事和國家上恢復
（賽 26:15）；
而你的仇敵卻不能；最終，在預言最廣的範圍內，按字面復活
（結 37:1-14； 但 12:2）。
與我的屍身一同——宜作「我的屍身」，或「屍體」（擬人化的猶太民族，它在屬靈和民事上已死；或那民族如父母，論及其兒女個別的身體，參
賽 26:9，
「我」、「我的」）：耶和華的「死人」和「我的死人」是一而二的〔HORSLEY〕。然而，因耶穌是以色列的預表本體
（太 2:15），
英文版本給出真實的含義，也是預言最終所顧及的：基督的屍身復活是耶和華百姓（所有人，特別是信徒——屬靈的以色列人）也復活的源頭
（林前 15:20-22）。
興起——
（弗 5:14），
屬靈上。
在塵土中——仆倒而死，屬靈和國家上；也按字面
（賽 25:12，47:1）。
甘露——東方豐降，部分彌補雨水的不足
（何 14:5）。
拋棄……死人——即要使他們重新活過來。
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. 要進入……內室——當神要向不敬虔之人施行報應之時，聖徒必被祂關在安全之處，如挪亞一家在洪水之日
(創 7:16)，
又如以色列人在擊殺埃及長子之夜受命不可出門
(出 12:22, 23；詩 31:20；83:3)。
聖徒當平靜安穩地等候結果
(出 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

一切所流無辜之血，以及所行的一切不義，看似長久未受懲罰，到那時都必受報
(啟 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).
Isa 26:1-21.
與第二十四、二十五章相連。
以色列歸回故土之後的讚美之歌。
第二十五章描述了叛教派系的傾覆，本章則以一座堅固設防的城為意象，描述了忠信者的平安。
1. strong city——耶路撒冷，因耶和華的保護而堅固：新耶路撒冷的預表
(Ps 48:1-3),
與不敬虔之仇敵的傾覆相對照
(Isa 26:4-7, 12-14; Re 22:2, 10-12,
&c.).
salvation . . . walls——
(Isa 60:18; Jer 3:23; Zec 2:5).
MAURER 譯作「耶和華使祂的救助作為城牆」
(Isa 33:20, 21,
&c.).
bulwarks——城牆外側的壕溝連同護牆土壘。
