5254.“我听人说起你”表属灵层的属天层的能力;“说你听了梦就能解”表觉察出所预见的事物里面包含的东西。这从“听人说起你”、“听”、“梦”和“解”的含义,以及“约瑟”的代表清楚可知:“听人说起你”是指觉察并知道它的性质是这样,因而它拥有这种能力;这些话所论及的“约瑟”是指属灵层的属天层(参看4286,4592,4594,4963,5086,5087,5106节);“听”是指觉察(5017节);“梦”是指所预见的东西,如刚才所述(5252节);“解”是指它里面所包含的东西,如前所述(5253节)。由此明显可知,“我听人说起你,说你听了梦就能解”表示属灵层的属天层所拥有的觉察所预见事物里面包含的东西的能力。
Potts(1905-1910) 5254
5254. And I have heard upon thee, signifies the capacity of the celestial of the spiritual; saying thou hearest a dream to interpret it, signifies of perceiving what is in the things foreseen; as is evident from the signification of "hearing upon thee," as being to perceive and know that it is such, and consequently that there is the capacity; from the representation of Joseph, to whom these words are spoken, as being the celestial of the spiritual (see n. 4286, 4592, 4594, 4963, 5086, 5087, 5106); from the signification of "hearing," as being to perceive (n. 5017); from the signification of a "dream," as being what is foreseen (of which just above, n. 5252); and from the signification of "interpreting," as being what was therein (of which also above, n. 5253). From this it is plain that by the words "I have heard upon thee, saying, Thou hearest a dream to interpret it," is signified the capacity of the celestial of the spiritual for perceiving what is in the things foreseen.
Elliott(1983-1999) 5254
5254. 'And I have heard about you' means the ability of the celestial of the spiritual; and 'it is said that when you hear a dream you can interpret it' means to discern what it is that things foreseen hold within them. This is clear from the meaning of 'hearing about you' as discerning and coming to now that its nature is such and therefore that it possessed that kind of ability; from the representation of 'Joseph', to whom these words are addressed, as the celestial of the spiritual, dealt with in 4286, 4592, 4594, 4963, 5086, 5087, 5106; from the meaning of 'hearing' as discerning, dealt with in 5017; from the meaning of 'a dream' as that which is foreseen, dealt with just above in 5252; and from the meaning of 'interpreting' as what it held within it, also dealt with above, in 5253. From all these meanings it is evident that 'I have heard about you - it is said that when you hear a dream you can interpret it' means the ability which the celestial of the spiritual possesses to discern what it is that things foreseen hold within them.

5254. `Et ego audivi super te': quod significet facultatem caelestis spiritualis; `dicendo, audias somnium ad interpretandum illud': quod significet appercipiendi quid praevisis inest, constat ex significatione `audire super te' quod sit appercipere et nosse quod talis sit, proinde quod facultas; ex repraesentatione `Josephi' ad quem illa dicuntur, quod sit caeleste spiritualis, de qua n. 4286, 4592, 4594, 4963, 5086, 5087, 5106; ex significatione `audire' quod sit appercipere, de qua n. 5017; ex significatione `somnii' quod sit praevisum, de qua mox supra n. 5252; et ex significatione `interpretari' quod sit quid inesset, de qua etiam supra n. 5253; inde patet quod per `ego audivi super te, dicendo, audias somnium ad interpretandum illud' significetur facultas caelestis spiritualis appercipiendi quid praevisis inest.
