属天的奥秘 第4129节

(一滴水译,2018-2022)

  4129.“拉班和他的众弟兄也在基列山上支搭帐棚”表在某种程度上存在于这结合中的该良善的状态。这从“拉班”的代表,以及“支搭”、“弟兄”和“基列山”的含义清楚可知:“拉班”是指现与“雅各”所代表的良善分离的良善;“支搭”是指该良善的状态(经上之所以用“支搭”这个词,是因为所提到的状态不是爱的神圣状态,除非这两种良善在某种程度结合起来);“弟兄”是指与“拉班”所表示的良善聚在一起的良善,如前所述(4121节);“基列山”是指结合的第一个阶段和最后一个阶段(参看4117节)。由此明显可知,“拉班和他的众弟兄也在基列山上支搭帐棚”表在某种程度上存在于这结合中的该良善的状态。若不通过主将灵人和天使的社群与人相联或分离时发生在来世的事,包含在现已得到解释的这些话里面进一步的事就无法理性阐明。他们被联系起来或分离的实际过程,取决于那里所存在的秩序。本章充分描述了该过程的各个阶段,但由于人对它们一无所知,所以详细阐述它们就等于谈论纯粹的奥秘。其中有些阶段早就在论述社群与要重生之人的结合和分离的地方阐述过了。只要知道这一点就足够了,即:该过程的奥秘就包含在此处的内义中,它们如此众多,并且具有这样的性质,即便它们的千分之一部分也无法完全并理性解释清楚。

Potts(1905-1910) 4129

4129. And Laban pitched with his brethren in the mountain of Gilead. That this signifies the state of this good in somewhat of that conjunction, is evident from the representation of Laban, as being the good now separated from the good represented by Jacob; from the signification of "pitching," as being the state of this good (it is not said that he "pitched a tent," because the state referred to was not a state of the holy of love, except by somewhat of that conjunction); from the signification of "brethren," as being the goods with which the good signified by "Laban" had been consociated (see n. 4121); and from the signification of the "mountain of Gilead," as being where there is the first and the last of conjunction (see n. 4117). From this it is manifest that by "Laban pitched with his brethren in the mountain of Gilead," is signified the state of this good in somewhat of that conjunction. What further is involved in the words that have now been explained, cannot be so well set forth to the apprehension, except from the things that happen in the other life, when societies of spirits and angels are adjoined to a man by the Lord, and are separated from him; such being the process of their adjunction and separation, in accordance with the order there existing. The steps of this process have been fully described in this chapter, but as they are wholly unknown to man, to set them forth in detail would be to speak mere arcana, some of which have been already stated, where the subject treated of was the conjunction and the separation of societies with a man in the process of regeneration. Suffice it to know that the arcana of this process are here contained in the internal sense, and that they are so great and of such a nature, that they cannot be fully set forth to the apprehension even as to one thousandth part of them.

Elliott(1983-1999) 4129

4129. 'And Laban pitched with his brothers in mount Gilead' means the state of the good existing to some extent in that joining together. This is clear from the representation of 'Laban' as the good now separated from the good represented by 'Jacob'; from the meaning of 'pitching' as the state involving that good (the phrase 'pitching his tent' is not used because it was not a state of holy love except insofar as the two kinds of good were to some extent so joined together); from the meaning of 'brothers' as the forms of good with which the good meant by 'Laban' is grouped together, dealt with above in 4121; and from the meaning of 'mount Gilead' as the first stage and the last of the joining together, dealt with above in 4117. From this it is evident that 'Laban pitched with his brothers on mount Gilead' means the state of the good existing to some extent in that joining together.

[2] Anything more that is embodied within the matters that have now been explained cannot be presented intelligibly in the same way except by reference to the occurrences which take place in the next life when the Lord links communities of spirits and angels to man or separates them from him. The actual process by which they are linked or separated is determined by the order as it exists there. The stages of this process have been described fully in this chapter, but because man has no knowledge of them at all it would be declaring mere arcana if they were to be explained individually. Some have been discussed above where the joining and the separation of communities residing with one who is to be regenerated have been the subject. But it is enough if one knows that the arcana of that process are contained here in the internal sense, so many and of such a nature in fact that not even a thousandth part can be explained fully and intelligibly.

Latin(1748-1756) 4129

4129. `Et Laban fixit cum fratribus suis in monte Gilead' quod significet statum boni in aliquo conjunctionis illius, constat ex repraesentatione `Labanis' quod sit bonum nunc separatum a bono per `Jacobum' repraesentato; a significatione `figere' quod sit status illius boni; non dicitur `figere tentorium' quia non erat status sancti amoris nisi per aliquid conjunctionis illius; ex significatione `fratrum quod sint bona cum quibus bonum per `Labanem' significatum consociatum est {1}, de qua supra n. 4121;

et ex significatione `montis Gilead' quod sit ubi primum et ultimum conjunctionis, de qua supra n. 4117; inde patet quod per `Laban fixit cum fratribus suis in monte Gilead' significetur status boni in aliquo conjunctionis illius. [2] Quid porro haec quae nunc explicata sunt, involvunt, non ita ad captum exponi potest, nisi {2} ab illis quae contingunt in altera vita, quando societates spirituum et angelorum a Domino adjunguntur homini e ab eo separantur; adjunctionis illorum et separationis processus tali est secundum ordinem ibi; momenta illius processus plene hic descripta sunt, sed illa {3} singillatim exponere, quia prorsus ignota sunt homini, foret {4} mera arcana loqui; supra ubi de conjunctione et separatione societatum apud hominem regenerandum actum est, aliqua dicta sunt; sed satis est ut sciatur quod arcana processus illius in sensu interno hic contineantur, et quidem tanta et talia ut non possint quoad millesimam partem plene ad captum exponi. @1 I has consociata sunt, A had consociatum est but alters to consociata sunt$ @2 i nam sunt talia, quae nullus scire potest$ @3 i momenta$ @4 i per$
