属天的奥秘 第8267节

(一滴水译,2018-2022)

  8267.“耶是诗歌”表整个信和由此而来的荣耀的源头是来源于祂的神性真理。这从“诗歌”的含义清楚可知,当论及耶和华时,“诗歌”是指将荣耀归与主(参看8261节);但当论及人时,如此处,是指由于信而存在的荣耀,因而是指荣耀所来自的信;事实上,属于人的整个荣耀由于信主而存在,因为真正为信的信来源于主,因而主在信里面,所以荣耀本身也就存在了。人的荣耀之所以是由于信,还因为神性真理,即信的源头和传送者,在天使眼前显为光,还显为白亮和光辉。这光辉与来自这光的天堂壮丽景象一起被称为“荣耀”,因此,这荣耀无非是神性真理,因而无非是信。这就解释了为何论及人的“诗歌”表示由于信的荣耀。
  “耶”表示从主的神性人身发出的神性真理,这是因为“耶”源自“耶和华”,经上之所以用耶这个名,是因为它不是指存在,而是指由存在所生的显现;因为神性真理是显现,而神性良善是存在(6880节)。这也是为何经上说“耶是我的诗歌”,因为“诗歌”表示作为神性真理产物的信。在诗篇,“耶”也表示神性真理:
  你们当向神歌唱,赞美祂的名!以耶之名歌颂那驾云的,要在祂面前欢乐。(诗篇68:4
  此处“以耶之名赞美和歌颂神”是指通过神性真理如此行。又:
  我在急难中求告耶;耶就在宽阔之地应答我。耶和华帮助了我。耶和华是我的力量和诗歌。我要从义门进入,要称谢耶。(诗篇118:513141719
  此处“耶”是指神性真理方面的主;“哈利路耶”中的“耶”具有同样的含义(诗篇105:45106:148111:1112:1113:19115:1718116:29)。

Potts(1905-1910) 8267

8267. And song is Jah. That this signifies that everything of faith and of the consequent glory is from the Divine truth which is from Him, is evident from the signification of a "song" when said concerning Jehovah, as being a glorification of the Lord (see above, n. 8261); but when concerning man, as here, as being the glory which is from faith, thus faith from which is glory; for everything of glory that pertains to man is from faith in the Lord, because faith which is faith is from the Lord, and thus the Lord is in the faith, consequently so is the glory itself. That the glory of man is from faith is also because the Divine truth, from which and through which is faith, appears before the eyes of the angels as light, and also as brightness and a beam of light. This beam of light, together with the magnificences of heaven that are from the light, is called "glory," which accordingly is nothing else than Divine truth, thus faith. [2] That "Jah" denotes the Divine truth proceeding from the Divine Human of the Lord, is because "Jah" is from "Jehovah" and is called "Jah" because it is not being, but coming-forth from being; for Divine truth is coming-forth, but Divine good is being (n. 6880); and consequently it is said "Jah is my song," because by "song" is signified the faith which is of Divine truth. By "Jah" is signified Divine truth in David also:

Sing ye to God, praise ye His name; extol Him that rideth upon the clouds by His name Jah, and exult ye before Him (Ps. 68:4);

where "to praise and extol God by His name Jah" denotes by means of Divine truth. Again in the same:

In distress I called on Jah; Jah answered me in breadth; Jehovah helped me; Jah is my strength and song; I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah; I will enter through the gates of righteousness, and I will confess Jah (Ps. 118:5, 13, 14, 17, 19);

here "Jah" denotes the Lord as to Divine truth; in like manner "Jah" in "Hallelu-Jah" (Ps. 105:45; 106:1, 48; 111:1; 112:1; 113:1, 9; 115:17, 18; 116:29).

Elliott(1983-1999) 8267

8267. 'And song is Jah' means that the source of the whole of faith and of the glory resulting from it is Divine Truth which originates in Him. This is clear from the meaning of 'song', in reference to Jehovah, as an ascription of glory to the Lord, dealt with above in 8261. But when used in reference to man, as it is here, it means glory existing as a result of faith, and so faith from which glory results; for the whole of the glory which man has exists as a result of faith in the Lord, since faith which really is faith has its origin in the Lord, so that the Lord is within faith and consequently glory itself is also present. A further reason why man's glory is a result of faith is that Divine Truth, the source and conveyor of faith, appears before angels' eyes as light, and also as the brightness and radiance of light. This radiance, along with the magnificent scenes in heaven that are products of the light, is called the glory, which is accordingly nothing other than Divine Truth, and so nothing other than faith. This then explains why 'song', in reference to man, means glory resulting from faith.

[2] 'Jah' means Divine Truth that emanates from the Lord's Divine Human. This is because Jah is derived from Jehovah, and the name Jah is used because it does not mean Being (Esse) but the Coming-into-Being arising from Being (Existere ex Esse); for Divine Truth is the Coming-into-Being (Existere), whereas Divine Good is Being (Esse), see 6880. This also is why the expression 'song is Jah' is used, for 'song' means faith that is a product of Divine Truth. 'Jah' again means Divine Truth in David,

Sing to God, praise His name; extol Him who rides on the clouds by His name Jah, and exult before Him. Ps 68:4.

Praising and extolling God 'by His name Jah' is doing so through Divine Truth. Again in the same author,

In distress I called on Jah; Jah answered me in a broad place. Jehovah helped me. My strength and song is lain. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah. I will enter through the gates of righteousness, and confess Jah. Ps 118:5, 13, 14, 17, 19.

Here 'Jah' is the Lord in respect of Divine Truth. Jah has the same meaning in the exclamation Hallelujah, at Ps 105:45; 106:1, 48; 111:1; 112:1; 113:1, 9; 115:17, 18; 116:19.

Latin(1748-1756) 8267

8267. `Et canticum Jah': quod significet quod omne fidei et inde gloriae sit ex Divino Vero quod ab Ipso, constat ex significatione `cantici,' cum de Jehovah, quod sit glorificatio Domini, de qua supra n. 8261; at cum de homine, ut hic, quod sit gloria quae ex fide, ita fides ex qua gloria, nam omne gloriae quae homini, est (c)ex fide in Dominum, {1}quia fides quae fides est a Domino, et sic Dominus in fide, proinde ipsa gloria; causa quod gloria hominis sit ex fide, etiam est quia Divinum Verum, {2}ex quo et per quod fides, apparet coram oculis angelorum ut lux, tum sicut splendor et jubar lucis; hoc jubar lucis, una cum magnificis caeli quae ex luce, appellatur gloria, quae sic non aliud est quam Divinum Verum, {3}ita fides, inde nunc est quod `canticum,' cum de homine, sit gloria ex fide. 2 Quod `Jah' sit Divinum Verum procedens a Divino Humano Domini, est quia Jah est ex Jehovah, et vocatur Jah quia non est Esse sed {4} Existere ex Esse; Divinum enim Verum est Existere, Divinum autem Bonum est Esse, videatur n. 6880; inde etiam dicitur `canticum Jah,' quia per `canticum' significatur {5}fides quae est Divini Veri {6}; per `Jah' quoque significatur Divinum Verum apud Davidem, Cantate Deo, laudate nomen Ipsius, extollite equitantem super nubibus, per Jah nomen Ipsius, et exultate coram Ipso, Ps. lxviii 5 [A.V. 4];

`laudare et extollere Deum per Jah nomen Ipsius' est per Divinum Verum: etiam apud eundem, In angustia invocavi Jah, respondit mihi in latitudine Jah; Jehovah auxiliatus est mihi, robur meum et canticum Jah: non moriar sed vivam, et annuntiabo opera Jah; {7} intrabo per portas justitiae et confitebor Jah, Ps. cxviii [5, 13, 14, 17, 19];

ibi `Jah' est Dominus quoad Divinum Verum: similiter Jah in Hallelu-Jah, Ps. cv (x)45, cvi 1, 48, cxi 1, cxii 1, cxiii 1, 9, cxv 17, 18, cxvi 19. @1 nam$ @2 quod fides procedens a Domino$ @3 proinde$ @4 i est$ @5 gloria fidei$ @6 i, ut supra dictum$ @7 i castigando castigavit me Jah,$
