Isa 66:1-24.
英文原文
Isa 66:1-24.
THE HUMBLE COMFORTED, THE UNGODLY CONDEMNED, AT THE LORD'S APPEARING: JERUSALEM MADE A JOY ON EARTH.
This closing chapter is the summary of Isaiah's prophecies as to the last days, hence the similarity of its sentiments with what went before.
1. heaven . . . throne . . . where is . . . house . . . ye build--The same sentiment is expressed, as a precautionary proviso for the majesty of God in deigning to own any earthly temple as His, as if He could be circumscribed by space
(1Ki 8:27)
in inaugurating the temple of stone; next, as to the temple of the Holy Ghost
(Ac 7:48, 49);
lastly here, as to "the tabernacle of God with men"
(Isa 2:2, 3; Eze 43:4, 7; Re 21:3).
where--rather, "what is this house that ye are building, &c.--what place is this for My rest?" [VITRINGA].

2. have been——即我所造的。或絕對地作就是被造之物;因此屬乎我——創造主 [JEROME]。
look——顧念。
poor——謙卑
(Isa 57:15).
trembleth at . . . word——
(2Ki 22:11, 19; Ezr 9:4).
心中的屬靈聖殿,雖不取代外在的敬拜場所,卻是神最喜悅的居所
(Joh 14:23).
在天上的最終狀態中,「沒有殿」,因「主神」自己就是
(Re 21:22).
英文原文
2. have been--namely, made by Me. Or, absolutely, were things made; and therefore belong to Me, the Creator [JEROME].
look--have regard.
poor--humble
(Isa 57:15).
trembleth at . . . word--
(2Ki 22:11, 19; Ezr 9:4).
The spiritual temple of the heart, though not superseding the outward place of worship, is God's favorite dwelling
(Joh 14:23).
In the final state in heaven there shall be "no temple," but "the Lord God" Himself
(Re 21:22).

3. 神連惡人的祭也厭惡
(Isa 1:11;
Pr 15:8; 28:9).
is as if——LOWTH 不甚妥當地刪去此語:「殺牛的(隨即)殺人」(如
Eze 23:39)。
但在希伯來文中刪去「如同」,反而加強了比較的力度。外邦人常獻人為祭。
dog's neck——按猶太律法是可憎的
(De 23:18);
或許因為狗在埃及受人崇敬,故列為可憎。神不用「獻祭」一詞來尊崇此可憎之物,而是用貶抑的字眼「打折狗的脖子」
(Ex 13:13; 34:20).
狗既不潔,便與豬相提並論
(Mt 7:6;
2Pe 2:22).
oblation——無血的素祭,與「豬血」形成對比
(Isa 65:4).
burneth——希伯來文作「獻記念祭的人」
(Le 2:2).
they have chosen——與
Isa 66:4
的前兩句相對:「他們既自己選擇自己的道路云云,我也必選擇他們的迷惑。」
英文原文
3. God loathes even the sacrifices of the wicked
(Isa 1:11; Pr 15:8; 28:9).
is as if--LOWTH not so well omits these words: "He that killeth an ox (presently after) murders a man" (as in
Eze 23:39).
But the omission in the Hebrew of "is as if"--increases the force of the comparison. Human victims were often offered by the heathen.
dog's neck--an abomination according to the Jewish law
(De 23:18);
perhaps made so, because dogs were venerated in Egypt. He does not honor this abomination by using the word "sacrifice," but uses the degrading term, "cut off a dog's neck"
(Ex 13:13; 34:20).
Dogs as unclean are associated with swine
(Mt 7:6; 2Pe 2:22).
oblation--unbloody: in antithesis to "swine's blood"
(Isa 65:4).
burneth--Hebrew, "he who offereth as a memorial oblation"
(Le 2:2).
they have chosen--opposed to the two first clauses of
Isa 66:4:
"as they have chosen their own ways, &c., so I will choose their delusions.

4. delusions——
(2Th 2:11),
對應「他們自己的道路」
(Isa 66:3;
參
Pr 1:31).
然而,希伯來文更恰當的意思是「煩擾」、「災禍」,這也為與「恐懼」的平行結構所要求;「選擇他們的災禍」意即「選擇他們以為靠自己的道路可以逃避的災禍」。
their fears——他們所懼怕的事,為了避免這些,他們才實行那拜偶像的「可憎之物」
(Isa 66:3).
I called . . . none . . . answer——(見
Isa 65:12;
Isa 65:24;
Jer 7:13
的註解。)
did . . . chose——不僅行了惡事,更是故意選擇而行的
(Ro 1:32).
「他們選擇了自己所喜悅的,也是我所不喜悅的事」;因此,「我必選擇」他們不喜悅的,即他們最想避免的「災禍」和「恐懼」。
before mine eyes——(見
Isa 65:3
的註解。)
英文原文
4. delusions--
(2Th 2:11),
answering to "their own ways"
(Isa 66:3;
so
Pr 1:31).
However, the Hebrew means rather "vexations," "calamities," which also the parallelism to "fears" requires; "choose their calamities" means, "choose the calamities which they thought to escape by their own ways."
their fears--the things they feared, to avert which their idolatrous "abominations"
(Isa 66:3)
were practised.
I called . . . none . . . answer--(See on
Isa 65:12;
Isa 65:24;
Jer 7:13).
did . . . chose--not only did the evil deed, but did it deliberately as a matter of choice
(Ro 1:32).
"They chose that in which I delighted not"; therefore, "I will choose" that in which they delight not, the "calamities" and "fears" which they were most anxious to avert.
before mine eyes--(See on
Isa 65:3).

5. tremble at . . . word——與
Isa 66:2
中相同的人,即猶太人中少數信的人。
cast you out for my name's sake——逐出教會,彷彿太污穢而不能與他們一同敬拜
(Isa 65:5).
基督首次在世時也是如此
(Mt 10:22;
Joh 9:22, 34; 16:2; 15:21).
末後的時代,信的人稀少時,也必如此
(Lu 18:8).
Let the Lord be glorified——逼迫者嘲弄的挑戰,彷彿他們對你們的暴力是出於對神的熱心。「願耶和華彰顯榮耀」,即藉著為你們出面來彰顯自己;正如與「祂必出現使你們歡喜」的平行結構所要求的(如
Isa 5:19;
比較
Isa 28:15; 57:4).
基督在十字架上也是如此
(Mt 27:42, 43).
appear to your joy——以「喜樂」代替你們的「羞辱」
(Isa 25:8, 9).
英文原文
5. tremble at . . . word--the same persons as in
Isa 66:2,
the believing few among the Jews.
cast you out for my name's sake--excommunicate, as if too polluted to worship with them
(Isa 65:5).
So in Christ's first sojourn on earth
(Mt 10:22; Joh 9:22, 34; 16:2; 15:21).
So it shall be again in the last times, when the believing shall be few
(Lu 18:8).
Let the Lord be glorified--the mocking challenge of the persecutors, as if their violence towards you was from zeal for God. "Let the Lord show Himself glorious," namely, by manifesting Himself in your behalf; as the parallelism to, "He shall appear to your joy," requires (as in
Isa 5:19;
compare
Isa 28:15; 57:4).
So again Christ on the cross
(Mt 27:42, 43).
appear to your joy--giving you "joy" instead of your "rebuke"
(Isa 25:8, 9).

6. 神必從耶路撒冷和祂的「殿」中,向仇敵報復
(Eze 43:1-8;
Zec 12:2, 3; 14:3, 19-21).
本節突兀的語言標誌著神毀滅外面敵對的外邦軍隊之突然:正如
Isa 66:5
論到不信的猶太人被挫敗。
voice of noise——即主的大聲
(Ps 68:33; 29:3-9;
1Th 4:16).
英文原文
6. God, from Jerusalem and His "temple," shall take vengeance on the enemy
(Eze 43:1-8; Zec 12:2, 3; 14:3, 19-21).
The abrupt language of this verse marks the suddenness with which God destroys the hostile Gentile host outside: as
Isa 66:5
refers to the confounding of the unbelieving Jews.
voice of noise--that is, the Lord's loud-sounding voice
(Ps 68:33; 29:3-9; 1Th 4:16).

7. she——錫安。
Before . . . travailed . . . brought forth——她人數的增加與興盛,將超乎一切所想地突然臨到,且不經痛苦的勞苦
(Isa 54:1, 4, 5)。
試將未來猶太教會的此一情形,與基督教會生下「男孩子」時所受的生產之苦相比
(Re 12:2, 5)。
在東方,生男孩是格外喜樂的事,生女孩則不然;因此,此處乃指復興之猶太教會所生剛強的眾子,此處用單數以集合表示眾數:或說這許多的兒子在彌賽亞之下被視為一體,因那時彌賽亞將彰顯為他們獨一的代表性元首。
英文原文
7. she--Zion.
Before . . . travailed . . . brought forth--The accession of numbers, and of prosperity to her, shall be sudden beyond all expectation and unattended with painful effort
(Isa 54:1, 4, 5).
Contrast with this case of the future Jewish Church the travail-pains of the Christian Church in bringing forth "a man child"
(Re 12:2, 5).
A man child's birth is in the East a matter of special joy, while that of a female is not so; therefore, it here means the manly sons of the restored Jewish Church, the singular being used collectively for the plural: or the many sons being regarded as one under Messiah, who shall then be manifested as their one representative Head.

8. earth——宜作以配合平行句式:「一國(以國代指其中的民)豈能一日而生?」 〔LOWTH〕。在英文譯本中意為:地產出其出產是逐漸的,並非一日之內的事
(Mr 4:28)。
at once——在此情形中,與列國尋常逐漸成長相反,以色列一舉而達成熟。
for——宜作「一國豈能一日而生,以致錫安剛生產便已誕下?」〔MAURER〕。
英文原文
8. earth--rather, to suit the parallelism, "is a country (put for the people in it) brought forth in one day?" [LOWTH]. In English Version it means, The earth brings forth its productions gradually, not in one day
(Mr 4:28).
at once--In this case, contrary to the usual growth of the nations by degrees, Israel starts into maturity at once.
for--rather, "is a nation born at once, that Zion has, so soon as she travailed, brought forth?" [MAURER].

9. cause to bring forth, and shut——宜作「我既使之生產,豈能阻止其出生呢?」 〔LOWTH〕,

(1Sa 3:12; Ro 11:1; Php 1:6)。
shut——(參
Re 3:7, 8)。
英文原文
9. cause to bring forth, and shut--rather, "Shall I who beget, restrain the birth?" [LOWTH],
(Isa 37:3; Ho 13:13);
that is, Shall I who have begun, not finish My work of restoring Israel?
(1Sa 3:12; Ro 11:1; Php 1:6).

11. suck——

abundance——希伯來文作「她豐盛的光芒般的流出」,即從她豐滿的乳房湧出的奶(與平行的「她安慰的胸懷」相對應),如光芒般的溪流〔GESENIUS〕。
英文原文
11. suck--
(Isa 60:5, 16; 61:6; 49:23).
abundance--Hebrew, "the ray-like flow of her opulence," that is, with the milk spouting out from her full breasts (answering to the parallel, "breast of her consolations") in ray-like streams [GESENIUS].

12. extend——我必將平安(興盛)如河流改道般轉向她〔GESENIUS〕。或作「我必將平安如氾濫的河展鋪在她之上」〔BARNES〕,

flowing stream——如尼羅河的氾濫使全埃及肥沃。
borne upon . . . sides——(見
Isa 60:4 註釋)。
her . . . her——若「你們」指猶太人,譯作「你們必被他們的腰……他們的膝所抱」,即外邦人的,如
Isa 49:22;
而「 suck」
(Isa 60:16)
指猶太人吸取外邦人的財富。然而英文譯本也給出好的含義:猶太人與一切愛耶和華的人
(Isa 66:10),
「必 suck,並被她如母親般所抱」。
英文原文
12. extend--I will turn peace (prosperity) upon her, like a river turned in its course [GESENIUS]. Or, "I will spread peace over her as an overflowing river" [BARNES],
(Isa 48:18).
flowing stream--as the Nile by its overflow fertilizes the whole of Egypt.
borne upon . . . sides--(See on
Isa 60:4).
her . . . her--If "ye" refers to the Jews, translate, "ye shall be borne upon their sides . . . their knees," namely, those of the Gentiles, as in
Isa 49:22;
and as "suck"
(Isa 60:16)
refers to the Jews sucking the Gentile wealth. However, English Version gives a good sense: The Jews, and all who love Jehovah
(Isa 66:10),
"shall suck, and be borne" by her as a mother.

(伯 9:13; 詩 78:38)
意為「平息」或「止息怒氣」。MAURER 在此也如此譯:祂不以烈怒止息祂的忿怒等;非傾盡一切火熱的烈怒不足以滿足祂的忿怒。
烈怒——「灼熱」〔LOWTH〕,與平行句「火焰」相對應。

render--as the Hebrew elsewhere
(Job 9:13; Ps 78:38)
means to "allay" or "stay wrath." MAURER translates it so here: He stays His anger with nothing but fury," &c.; nothing short of pouring out all His fiery fury will satisfy His wrath.
fury--"burning heat" [LOWTH], to which the parallel, "flames of fire," answers.

(賽 26:20、21; 詩 31:20; 帖前 4:16、17)。
英文原文
16. Rather, "With fire will Jehovah judge, and with His sword (He will judge) all flesh." The parallelism and collocation of the Hebrew words favor this
(Isa 65:12).
all flesh--that is, all who are the objects of His wrath. The godly shall be hidden by the Lord in a place of safety away from the scene of judgment
(Isa 26:20, 21; Ps 31:20; 1Th 4:16, 17).

17. 在……園中——希伯來文與七十士譯本更要求作「為(進入)園中」,即在其中獻祭
〔MAURER〕。
在一棵樹後面——宜作「跟隨一個」,即某個偶像或別的,他因輕蔑而不提名
〔MAURER〕。VITRINGA 等認為希伯來文的「一」Ahhadh是神的名字;在敘利亞稱為Adad(意為一)(參
徒 17:23)。
這偶像的能力以傾斜的光線表示,如太陽照耀大地。GESENIUS 譯作「跟隨一位」,即秘儀祭司(「祭司」),他在其餘的人之前主持聖禮。
在其中——即在園中(參
賽 65:3、4)。
老鼠——律法上不潔淨
(利 11:29),
因它在外邦人中是偶像(參
賽 37:36;
撒上 6:4)。
譯作「田鼠」或「睡鼠」〔BOCHART〕。法利賽人及其自以為義的潔淨禮儀,以及一切徒具形式的人,都包括在同樣的定罪之內,其描述採用了以賽亞時代流行的偶像崇拜的語言。
英文原文
17. in . . . gardens--Hebrew and the Septuagint rather require, "for (entering into) gardens," namely, to sacrifice there [MAURER].
behind one tree--rather, "following one," that is, some idol or other, which, from contempt, he does not name [MAURER]. VITRINGA, &c., think the Hebrew for "one," Ahhadh, to be the name of the god; called Adad (meaning One) in Syria (compare
Ac 17:23).
The idol's power was represented by inclined rays, as of the sun shining on the earth. GESENIUS translates, "following one," namely, Hierophant ("priest"), who led the rest in performing the sacred rites.
in . . . midst--namely, of the garden (see on
Isa 65:3, 4).
mouse--legally unclean
(Le 11:29)
because it was an idol to the heathen (see on
Isa 37:36;
1Sa 6:4).
Translate, "the field mouse," or "dormouse" [BOCHART]. The Pharisees with their self-righteous purifications, and all mere formalists, are included in the same condemnation, described in language taken from the idolatries prevalent in Isaiah's times.

〔MAURER〕。
必來——時候到了,我將等
〔MAURER〕。
聚集……列國——來攻擊耶路撒冷,不敬虔的猶太人將在那裏滅亡;然後主終必為耶路撒冷抵擋那些列國而爭戰;倖存者
(賽 66:19)
將「看見神的榮耀」
(亞 12:8、9,14:1-3、9)。
舌頭——因罪而繁多,在巴別被變亂,但將在基督裏再次合而為一
(但 7:14; 番 3:9; 啟 7:9、10)。
英文原文
18. know--not in the Hebrew. Rather, understand the words by aposiopesis; it is usual in threats to leave the persons threatened to supply the hiatus from their own fears, owing to conscious guilt: "For I . . . their works and thoughts," &c.; namely, will punish [MAURER].
it shall come--the time is come that I will, &c. [MAURER].

(Isa 5:26; 11:12; 62:10).
those that escape of them--the Gentile survivors spared by God (see on
Isa 66:18;
Zec 14:16).
Isa 2:2, 3; Mic 5:7; and Zec 14:16-19
represent it, not that the Jews go as missionaries to the Gentiles, but that the Gentiles come up to Jerusalem to learn the Lord's ways there.
Tarshish--Tartessus in Spain, in the west.
Pul--east and north of Africa: probably the same as Philœ, an island in the Nile, called by the Egyptians Pilak, that is, the border country, being between Egypt and Ethiopia [BOCHART].
Lud--the Libyans of Africa
(Ge 10:13),
Ludim being son of Mizraim (Egypt): an Ethiopian people famous as bowmen
(Jer 46:9):
employed as mercenaries by Tyre and Egypt

(Ge 10:2-4).

20. 他們——指外邦人
(賽 66:19)。
將……你們的弟兄——指猶太人,帶回聖地
(賽 49:22)。
這不可能僅指猶太人進入基督教會而言;因為這樣的進入乃是憑信心,而非乘坐「馬匹、轎子、騾子」〔HOUBIGANT〕。「獻上」乃比喻用法,如
羅 15:16
所示。
馬——猶太人並不常用馬。此處以描繪外邦人用他們的交通工具來「運送」猶太人歸回耶路撒冷。
車輛——東方商隊中並無此物,宜譯作「載具」,即被人扛抬而非以輪牽引者。
轎子——供富人乘坐的遮蓋式轎子。
快獸——單峰駱駝:源自希伯來文字根「跳躍」,因牠們奔跑時的顛簸動作,常因音樂而加速〔BOCHART〕。貧窮婦女則將籃子橫搭於駱駝背上以載之〔HORSLEY〕。
英文原文
20. they--the Gentiles
(Isa 66:19).
bring . . . your brethren--the Jews, back to the Holy Land
(Isa 49:22).
It cannot mean the mere entrance of the Jews into the Christian Church; for such an entrance would be by faith, not upon "horses, litters, and mules" [HOUBIGANT]. "Offering" is metaphorical, as in
Ro 15:16.
horses--not much used by the Jews. The Gentiles are here represented as using their modes of conveyance to "bring" the Jews to Jerusalem.
chariots--as these are not found in Oriental caravans, translate, "vehicles," namely, borne, not drawn on wheels.
litters--covered sedans for the rich.
upon swift beasts--dromedaries: from Hebrew root, "to dance," from their bounding motion, often accelerated by music [BOCHART]. Panniers were thrown across the dromedaries' back for poorer women [HORSLEY].

24. 出去觀看——如以色列人觀看在紅海被滅的埃及人的屍體
(出 14:30;
參見
賽 26:14-19; 詩 58:10;49:14; 瑪 4:1-3)。
屍首等——
(賽 66:16),
即耶和華在耶路撒冷附近最後大戰中所殺的人
(亞 12:2-9;14:2-4);
為一切罪人最終毀滅的預表。
蟲……不死——
(可 9:44, 46, 48)。
地獄的影像,取自欣嫩子谷(Gehenna或「地獄」一詞即由此而來)——耶路撒冷以南拋棄屍體之處——那裏有不滅的火燃燒,以消耗所拋棄的污物
(賽 30:33)。
敬虔之人以滿足之心觀看神對惡人的報應,並不違背真正的愛心
(啟 14:10)。
願神賜福本註釋書,尤其是其嚴肅的結尾,使祂得榮耀,使作者與讀者都得造就,奉耶穌的名!

(Ex 14:30;
compare
Isa 26:14-19; Ps 58:10; 49:14; Mal 4:1-3).
carcasses, &c.--

(Zec 12:2-9; 14:2-4);
type of the final destruction of all sinners.
worm . . . not die--

Image of hell, from bodies left unburied in the valley of Hinnom (whence comes Gehenna, or "hell"), south of Jerusalem, where a perpetual fire was kept to consume the refuse thrown there
(Isa 30:33).
It shall not be inconsistent with true love for the godly to look with satisfaction on God's vengeance on the wicked
(Re 14:10).
May God bless this Commentary, and especially its solemn close, to His glory, and to the edification of the writer and the readers of it, for Jesus' sake!

Isa 66:1-24.
謙卑者得安慰,不敬虔者被定罪——在主顯現之時:耶路撒冷成為地上的喜樂。
這結束的一章是以賽亞關於末世預言的總結,因此其意旨與前文相似。
1. heaven . . . throne . . . where is . . . house . . . ye build——同樣的意旨曾被表達:作為維護神之威嚴的預防性聲明——當祂屈尊以任何地上聖殿為祂的居所時,祂並非可以被空間局限的
(1Ki 8:27)
——首先是在奉獻石造聖殿之時;其次論及聖靈的殿
(Ac 7:48, 49);
最後在此處論及「神的帳幕在人間」
(Isa 2:2, 3; Eze 43:4, 7; Re 21:3).
where——不如譯作「這你們所建造的殿是甚麼,&c.——何處是我安息的地方?」[VITRINGA]。
