属天的奥秘 第219节

(一滴水译,2018-2023)

219、“耶和华神的嗓音在园中回响”表示使他们感到害怕的内在指示,这一点从圣言中“嗓音”(voices,或译为响声、嗓声)的含义清楚可知;在圣言中,“耶和华的嗓音或响声”表示圣言本身,信之教义,良心或内心的警觉,以及一切良心的谴责。这也是为何雷声被称为“耶和华的嗓音”,如启示录:
天使用洪亮的嗓音呼喊,好像狮子吼叫,呼喊完了,就有七雷发出响声。(启示录10:3)
这表示那时,嗓音既是外在的,也是内在的。又:
在第七位天使发嗓音的日子,神的奥秘就成全了。(启示录10:7)
此处意思是一样的。诗篇:
你们要向神歌唱,愿你们歌颂主,就是那乘驾在亘古的诸天的诸天之上的。看哪,祂要发出响声,强有力的响声。(诗篇68:32-33)
“亘古的诸天的诸天”表示上古教会的智慧;“响声”表示启示,也表示一种内在的指示。又:
耶和华的嗓音在众水上;耶和华的嗓音大有能力;耶和华的嗓音满有荣耀;耶和华的嗓音震破香柏树;耶和华的嗓音使火焰分岔;耶和华的嗓音使旷野震动,耶和华的嗓音使母鹿落胎,使树林脱落净光。(诗篇29:3-5,7-9)
以赛亚书:
耶和华必使人听见祂完美的嗓音,亚述必因耶和华的嗓音惊惶。(以赛亚书30:30–31)

[NCE]219. The meaning of the voice of Jehovah God, going alone in the garden, as an inner dictate that [the people of this generation] dreaded can be established from the symbolism of voice in the Word. The voice of Jehovah there is taken to mean the Word itself, teachings about faith, conscience (or an alertness to what is inside us), and every reproof of conscience. As a result, thunderbolts are called the voices of Jehovah. An instance appears in John:
The angel then shouted with a loud voice, like a lion roaring, and when he shouted, the seven thunders uttered their voices. (Revelation 10:3-4)
This stands for the fact that an outer and an inner voice were heard at that time. In the same author:
In the days of the seventh angel's voice, the mystery of God is to come to an end. (Revelation 10:7)
The meaning here is similar. In David:
Sing to God, make music to the Lord, who is riding on the ancient heavens of heavens. Watch: he will lift his voice, a voice of strength. (Psalms 68:32-33)
The ancient heavens of heavens stand for the wisdom of the earliest church; the voice, for revelation and for an inner call as well. In the same author:
Jehovah's voice is upon the waters; Jehovah's voice has power; Jehovah's voice has glory. Jehovah's voice is shattering cedars; Jehovah's voice is cutting down fiery flames. Jehovah's voice makes the wilderness tremble; Jehovah's voice sends the does into labor and strips the forests bare. (Psalms 29:3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9)
In Isaiah:
Jehovah will make the perfection of his voice heard, since at Jehovah's voice Assyria will panic. (Isaiah 30:30-31)

Potts(1905-1910) 219

219. That by the "voice of Jehovah God going to itself in the garden" is meant an internal dictate of which they were afraid, is evident from the signification of "voice" in the Word, where the "voice of Jehovah" is used to designate the Word itself, the doctrine of faith, conscience or a taking notice inwardly, and also every reproof thence resulting; whence it is that thunders are called the "voices of Jehovah" as in John:

The angel cried with a loud voice, as a lion roareth, and when he had cried seven thunders uttered their voices (Rev. 10:3), denoting that there was then a voice both external and internal. Again:

In the days of the voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God shall be consummated (Rev. 10:7). In David:

Sing unto God, sing praises unto the Lord, who rideth upon the heavens of heavens which were of old; lo, He shall send out His voice, a voice of strength (Ps. 78:32, 33). The "heavens of heavens which were of old" denote the wisdom of the Most Ancient Church; "voice" revelation, and also an internal dictate. Again:

The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters; the voice of Jehovah is in power; the voice of Jehovah is in glory; the voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; the voice of Jehovah divideth the games of fire; the voice of Jehovah maketh the wilderness to shake; the voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, and uncovereth the forests (Ps. 29:3-5 and 7-9). And in Isaiah:

Jehovah shall cause the excellency of His voice to be heard, for through the voice of Jehovah shall Asshur be beaten down (Isa. 30:30, 31).

Elliott(1983-1999) 219

219. 'Jehovah God's voice going to and fro in the garden' means a dictate which filled them with fear. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'voice' in the Word where 'Jehovah's voice' stands for the Word itself, for the doctrine of faith, for conscience, which is inward mindfulness, and also for every expression of disapproval resulting from these. This also is why thunderbolts are called 'Jehovah's voices', as in John,

Then the angel called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring; and when he called out seven thunders sounded their voices. Rev 10:3, 4.

This stands for the voice at that time being both external and internal. In the same book,

In the days of the voice of the seventh angel the mystery of God was fulfilled. Rev 10:7.

Here the meaning is similar. In David,

Sing to God, make melody to the Lord who rides above the heavens of heavens of old. Behold, He will put forth His voice, a mighty voice. Ps 68:32, 33.

'The heavens of heavens of old' stands for the wisdom of the Most Ancient Church. 'Voice' stands for revelation and also for an inner dictate. In the same author, The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters; the voice of Jehovah is powerful; the voice of Jehovah is glorious; the voice of Jehovah breaks the cedars; the voice of Jehovah flashes forth flames of fire; the voice of Jehovah causes the wilderness to shake; the voice of Jehovah causes the hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare. Ps 29:3-5, 7-9.

And in Isaiah,

Jehovah will cause the excellence of His voice to be heard, for Asshur will be dismayed by the voice of Jehovah. Isa 30:30, 31.

Latin(1748-1756) 219

219. Quod per 'vocem Jehovae Dei sibi euntem in horto' intelligatur dictamen quod metuebant, constare potest a significatione 'vocis in Verbo, ubi 'vox Jehovae' accipitur pro Ipso Verbo, pro doctrina fidei, pro conscientia, seu interna animadvertentia, etiam pro omni redargutione inde; quare etiam fulmina vocantur 'voces Jehovae, ut apud Johannem, Angelus clamavit tunc voce magna, sicut leo rugit, cumque clamavit, locuta sunt septem tonitrua voces suas, Apoc. x 3, 4;

pro quod tunc vox externa et interna; apud eundem, In diebus vocis septimi angeli,... {x}consummandum es mysterium Dei, Apoc. x 7, similiter: apud Davidem, Cantate Deo,...psallite Domino,...equitanti super caelis caelorum antiquitatis; ecce dabit in voce Sua, vocem roboris, Ps. lxviii 33, 34 [A.V. 32, 33];

'caeli caelorum antiquitatis' pro sapientia Antiquissimae Ecclesiae; 'vox' pro revelatione, tum pro dictamine interno: apud eundem, Vox Jehovae super aquis,...vox Jehovae in potentia; vox Jehovae in gloria; vox Jehovae confringens cedros;...vox Jehovae succidens flammas ignis; vox Jehovae trepidare facit desertum;... vox Jehovae parturire facit cervas; et denudat silvas, Ps. xxix 3-5, 7-9:

et apud Esaiam, Audiri faciet Jehovah excellentiam vocis Suae,...nam a voce Jehovae consternabitur Asshur, xxx 30, 31.
