51.在圣言中,公义用来论及爱,公平(或判断)用来论及智慧。为此,我会引用一些经文来说明,这二者就是神借以在全世界掌权的工具:
公义和公平是祢宝座的根基。(诗篇89:14)
耶和华喜悦在世上施行慈爱、公平和公义,以此夸口。(耶利米书9:24)
耶和华被尊崇,祂以公平公义充满锡安。(以赛亚书33:5)
惟愿公平如大水滚滚,使公义如江河滔滔。(阿摩司书5:24)
耶和华啊,祢的公义好像高山,祢的判断如同大深渊。(诗篇36:6)耶和华要使祢的公义如光发出,使祢的公平明如中午。(诗篇37:6)祂要按公义审判祢的民,按公平审判祢的困苦人。(诗篇72:2)
我学了祢公义的判语,我因你公义的判词,一天七次赞美你。(诗篇119:7,164)
我必以仁义、公平聘祢归我。(何西阿书2:19)
锡安必因公平而蒙赎救;她那些回转的人必因公义而得救拔。(以赛亚书1:27)
祂必坐在大卫的宝座上治理他的国,以公平公义使国坚定稳固。(以赛亚书9:7)
我要给大卫兴起一个公义的苗裔,祂必掌王权,在地上施行公平和公义。(耶利米书23:5;33:15)
经上在其它地方也提及要施行公平和公义(以赛亚书1:21;5:16;58:2;耶利米书4:2;22:3,13,15;以西结书18:5;33:14,16,19;阿摩司书6:12;弥迦书7:9;申命记33:21;约翰福音16:8,10,11)。
51. 在聖言中, "公義"與仁愛,"公平"與智慧聯繫在一起。為此, 我提供一些經句來表達上帝以這兩個屬性來治理這個世界。
公義和公平是禰寶座的根基(詩篇89:14)。耶和華在地上創造了公平和公義(耶利米書9:24)。耶和華被尊為崇高, 祂以公平公義充滿了錫安(以賽亞書33:5)。但願公平如大水滾滾, 公義如江河長流(阿摩司書5:24)。禰的公義好像高山, 禰的公平如同大深淵(詩篇36:6)。祂必使禰的公義如光發出, 使禰的公平明如中午(詩篇37:6)。願祂按公義為禰的人民行裁判, 按公平為禰的困苦人伸訴(詩篇72:2)。我學習禰公義的典章要以正直的心稱謝禰。因禰公義的公平, 我一天七次頌贊禰(詩篇119:7, 164)。我必以公義和公平聘禰歸我(何西阿書2:19)。錫安必因公平而蒙贖救; 她那些回轉的人必因公義而得救拔(以賽亞書1:27)。祂將在大衛的寶座上治理祂的國, 以公平公義堅立而支援她(以賽亞書9:7)。我將為大衛興起一個苗裔, 祂將掌王權, 在地上秉公平行公義(耶利米書23:5; 33:15)。在其他地方, 我們也會讀到當行公義和公平(以賽亞書1:21; 5:16; 58:2;耶利米書4:2; 22:3, 13, 15;以西結書18:5; 33:14, 16, 19;阿摩司書6:12 ;彌迦書7:9;申命記33:21;約翰福音16:8, 10-11)。
51. In the Word, "justice" is associated with love and "judgment" with wisdom. For this reason I will present some passages to the effect that God governs the world with these two qualities.
Jehovah, justice and judgment are the support of your throne. (Psalms 89:14)
Those who wish to glory should glory in this, that Jehovah creates judgment and justice on earth. (Jeremiah 9:24)
Jehovah should be exalted because he filled the earth with judgment and justice. (Isaiah 33:5)
Judgment will flow like water and justice like a mighty stream. (Amos 5:24)
Jehovah, your justice is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like a great deep. (Psalms 36:6)
Jehovah will bring out his justice like a light, and [his] judgment like noonday. (Psalms 37:6)
Jehovah will judge his people in justice and his poor ones in judgment. (Psalms 72:2)
When I learn the judgments of your justice, seven times a day I praise you for the judgments of your justice. (Psalms 119:7, 164)
I will betroth myself to you in justice and judgment. (Hosea 2:19)
Zion will be redeemed with justice, and its returned exiles with judgment. (Isaiah 1:27)
He will sit on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it with judgment and justice. (Isaiah 9:7)
I will raise up for David a righteous offshoot who will reign as king and execute judgment and justice on earth. (Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15)
Elsewhere we read that we ought to practice justice and judgment, as in Isaiah 1:21; 5:16; 58:2; Jeremiah 4:2; 22:3, 13, 15; Ezekiel 18:5; 33:14, 16, 19; Amos 6:12; Micah 7:9; Deuteronomy 33:21; and John 16:8, 10-11.
51. In the Word righteousness is used with reference to love and judgment to wisdom, so some passages will be quoted to show that these two are the means by which God exercises control in the world.
Jehovah, righteousness and judgment are the foundation of your throne, Psalms 89:14.
Let him who boasts boast of this, that Jehovah executes judgment and righteousness upon the earth, Jeremiah 9:24.
Let Jehovah be exalted, because He has filled Zion 1 with judgment and righteousness, Isaiah 33:5.
Let judgment flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent, Amos 5:24.
Jehovah, your righteousness is like the mountains of God, your judgments a mighty abyss, Psalms 36:6.
Jehovah will make his 2 righteousness shine as the light, and his 3 judgment like noonday, Psalms 37:6.
Jehovah will judge his' people in righteousness and his' suffering ones in judgment, Psalms 72:2.
When I have learnt the judgments of your righteousness, seven times a day I praise you for the judgments of your righteousness, Psalms 119:7, 164.
I will betroth myself to you 4 in righteousness and judgment, Hosea 2:19. Zion shall be redeemed in righteousness, and her converts in judgment, Isaiah 1:27.
He shall sit upon the throne of David, and reign over his kingdom, to establish it in judgment and righteousness, Isaiah 9:7.
I will raise up for David a righteous shoot, who shall reign as king and execute judgment and righteousness upon the earth, Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.
Elsewhere it is said that righteousness and judgment ought to be done: as Isaiah 1:21; 5:16; 58:2; Jeremiah 4:2; 22:3, 13, 15; Ezekiel 18:5; 33:14, 16, 19; Amos 6:12; Micah 7:9; Deuteronomy 33:21; John 16:8, 10-11.
Footnotes:
1. The Latin text has 'the earth', but this is changed in the author's copy in keeping with the Hebrew.
2. The author's own copy has this changed to 'your' in keeping with the Hebrew; cf. Arcana Caelestia 1458.
3. The author's own copy has this changed to 'your' in keeping with the Hebrew.
4. At Arcana Caelestia 9182 this passage is translated 'I will betroth you to myself' in keeping with the Hebrew.
51. Since in the Word justice [or righteousness] is predicated of love, and judgment of wisdom, I will cite some passages to show that it is by means of these two that God's government is carried on in the world:
Righteousness and judgment are the support of Thy Throne (Psalms 89:14).
Let him that glorieth glory in this, that Jehovah doeth judgment and righteousness in the earth (Jeremiah 9:24).
Let Jehovah be exalted, for He hath filled the land [Hebrew, Zion] with judgment and righteousness (Isaiah 33:5).
Judgment shall flow as water, and righteousness as a mighty stream (Amos 5:24).
O Jehovah, Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God Thy judgments are a great deep (Psalms 36:6).
Jehovah shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday (Psalms 37:6).
Jehovah shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment (Psalms 72:2).
When I shall have learned the judgments of Thy righteousness seven times a day do I praise Thee because of the judgments of Thy righteousness (Psalms 119:7, 164).
I will betroth Me unto thee [Hebrew, thee unto Me] in righteousness and in judgment (Hosea 2:19).
Zion shall be redeemed in judgment and those that are brought back in righteousness (Isaiah 1:27).
He shall sit upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it in judgment and in righteousness (Isaiah 9:7).
I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and He shall reign as King, and shall do judgment and righteousness in the land (Jeremiah 23:5).
Elsewhere it is said that judgment and righteousness ought to be done, as in Isaiah 1:21; 5:16; 58:2; Jeremiah 4:2; 22:3, 13, 15; Ezekiel 18:5; 33:14, 16, 19; Amos 6:12; Micah 7:9; Deuteronomy 33:21; John 16:8, 10, 11).
51. Since justice in the Word is predicated of love, and judgment of wisdom, the following passages are adduced to show that the government of God in the world is maintained by means of these two:
"Justice and judgment are the support. (A. V., habitation) of Thy throne" Psalms 89:14.
"Let him that glorieth glory in this,... (that I am the Lord) which exercise... judgment and righteousness in the earth" Jeremiah 9:24.
"JEHOVAH is exalted...for He hath filled the earth (A.V., Zion) with judgment and righteousness" Isaiah 33:6.
"Let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream" Amos 5:24.
"Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; Thy judgments are a great deep" Psalms 36:6.
"He shall bring forth His (A.V., thy) righteousness as the light, and Thy judgment as the noon-day" Psalms 37:6.
"He shall judge His (A.V., thy) people with righteousness, and His (A.V., thy) poor with judgment" Psalms 72:2.
"When I shall have learned Thy righteous judgments... Seven times a day do I praise Thee because of Thy righteous judgments" Psalms 119:7, 164.
"I will betroth me unto Thee (A.V., thee unto me) in righteousness and in judgment" Hosea 2:19.
"Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness" Isaiah 1:27.
"Upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom,... to establish it with judgment and with justice" Isaiah 9:7.
"I will raise unto David a righteous branch, and a king shall reign... and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth" Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.
In other places it is said that men ought to do justice and judgment, as in Isaiah 1:21; 5:16; 58:2; Jeremiah 4:2; 22:3, 13, 15; Ezekiel 8:5; 33:14, 16, 19; Amos 6:12; Micah 7:9; Deuteronomy 33:21; John 16:8, 10-11.
51. Quoniam in Verbo Justitia praedicatur de Amore, et Judicium de Sapientia, ideo adducentur aliqua loca, quod 1 Regimen Dei per illa duo in Mundo fiat, quae sunt, "JEHOVAH, JUSTITIA ET JUDICIUM fulcrum Throni tui, Psalm 89:15. 2 De hoc glorietur qui gloriatur, quod JEHOVAH faciat JUDICIUM et JUSTITIAM in terra, Jeremias 9:23. 3 Exaltetur JEHOVAH, quia implevit terram 4 JUDICIO et JUSTITIA, Esaias 33:5. Fluet sicut aqua JUDICIUM, et JUSTITIA sicut torrens fortis, Amos 5:24. JEHOVAH, JUSTITIA TUA sicut montes Dei, JUDICIA TUA abyssus magna, Psalm 36:7. 5 JEHOVAH educet sicut lucem JUSTITIAM tuam, 6 et JUDICIUM sicut meridiem, Psalm 37:6. JEHOVAH judicabit populum suum in JUSTITIA, et miseros suos in Judicio, 7 Psalm 72:2. Cum didicero JUDICIA JUSTITIAE tuae, septies in die laudo Te super JUDICIIS JUSTITIAE tuae, Psalmes 119:7, 164. Desponsabo Me tibi 8 in JUSTITIA et JUDICIO, Hoschea 2:19. Zion in JUSTITIA redimetur, et reduces in JUDICIO, 9 Esaias 1:27. 10 Sedebit super Throno Davidis, et super Regno Ipsius, ad stabiliendum illud in JUDICIO et JUSTITIA, Esaias 9:6. 11 Suscitabo Davidi germen justum, qui regnet Rex, et faciat JUDICIUM et JUSTITIAM in terra," Jeremias 23:5; 33:15: et alibi, quod facere debeant Justitiam et Judicium, ut Esaias 1:21; 5:16; 58:2; Jeremias 4:2; 12 Jeremias 22:3, 13, 15; 13 Ezechiel 18:5; 33:14, 16, 19, Amos 6:12, Micham 7:9, Deuteronomius 33:21; Johannes 16:8, 10-11.
