1142、本章没有具体说明他们是什么样的人，只列出他们的名字。不过，这一点从先知书清楚看出来，这些民族的名字出现在先知书的不同地方；凡出现的地方，名字都没有其它含义，尽管有时具有正面意义，有时具有反面意义。

[NCE]1142. The present chapter does not specify what these people were like, since it merely lists them by name, but the prophets' writings clarify it, where the names of these nations come up, as they often do. In each of those passages, the names have no other meaning [than that mentioned here], although it sometimes applies in a positive sense and sometimes in a negative.{*1}
Footnotes:
{*1} In 1066:5, Swedenborg asserts that every word in Scripture like "earth" or "land" (presumably meaning every noun) has both a positive and a negative meaning. [LHC, JSR]

1142. What manner of men they were specifically is not related in this chapter, for they are only recounted as to their names. But this appears from the writings of the prophets, where the names of these nations occur in different places, and everywhere with no other signification-though sometimes in the genuine, and sometimes in the opposite sense.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1142
1142. The specific character of these people is not recorded in this chapter, for only their names are listed. Their character is clear however from the writings of the Prophets, where the names of these nations occur in various places. And wherever they occur they have no other meaning, sometimes indeed in their genuine sense, at others in the contrary sense.
Latin(1748-1756) 1142
1142. Quales fuerunt in specie, in hoc capite non memoratur, nam modo quoad nomina recensentur, sed constat a prophetarum scriptis, ubi passim harum gentium nomina occurrunt, et ubivis non aliud significant; et quidem nunc in sensu genuino, nunc in sensu opposito.
