1372、这一点从别处(3286,9325节)所论述的“不生育”的含义清楚可知,因为如前所示(264,489-491,568节),“儿子”和“女儿”表示真理和良善,在反面意义上则表示邪恶和虚假。因此,“不生育”表示偶像崇拜的邪恶和虚假不再自我繁衍。

[NCE]1372. This symbolism is established by that of infertility, discussed elsewhere [3286, 9325]. Sons and daughters symbolize truth and goodness or, in an opposite sense, evil and falsity, as already demonstrated [264, 489-491, 568]. So infertility symbolizes the fact that the evil and falsity of idolatrous worship would no longer reproduce themselves.
Potts(1905-1910) 1372
1372. This may be seen from the signification of "barren," concerning which elsewhere. For, as before shown, a son and a daughter signify truth and good; and in the opposite sense, evil and falsity. Hence "barren" signifies that the evil and falsity of idolatrous worship reproduced itself no further.
Elliott(1983-1999) 1372
1372. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'barren', dealt with elsewhere, for, as shown already, 'son' and 'daughter' mean truth and good, and in the contrary sense evil and falsity. Consequently 'barren' means that the evil and falsity of idolatrous worship were no longer reproducing themselves.
Latin(1748-1756) 1372
1372. Haec constare possunt a significatione 'sterilis,' de qua alibi; 'filius' enim et 'filia' significant, ut prius ostensum, verum et bonum, et in opposito sensu, malum et falsum, inde 'sterilis,' quod malum et falsum cultus idololatrici se non magis produceret.
